So near, yet so far! Holiday villa for those waiting TTC#1 having suffered mc

412 replies

Hi all,

I need to take a holiday with some lovely peeps in the same position; I'm TTC#1 but had 2 mc's this year and now discovered my luteal phase is only 9 days (anything under 10 considered a defect) and probably the reason that I cannot retain a pregnancy.

If you have yet to be blessed with motherhood because mc has cruelly taken away your chance so far, then this is the place to retreat for some R & R whilst your body recovers.

Pull up a sun lounger, and lie back for some lighthearted banter and support whilst monitoring cycles or undergoing investigation and wash down the Vit B6, Agnus Castus, Progesterone and Clomid with a lovely vodka glass of sparkling spring water!!

thinking of starting up a thread using wombats babyloss passage on the other TTC thread.... what you think? sort of like a remembrance page in honour of Babyloss Week... maybe someone else will?!

Hello people. How are we all today?

I'm very impressed with myself. I managed not to murder the builder. Even though when I got back home on Friday he had not turned up or done anything at all!

So we had to force him to come and finish the job on Saturday.

We have DH's cousin coming to stay on Tuesday night so we needed to get everything done before then. So after the builder had left DH and I had to decorate the lounge and the dining room, which we were expecting to have the whole weeekend for, so having the builder around on Satruday was a pain in the ...

Carpet being fitted on Tuesday pm (typo on post in other thread where I said Saturday). Cousin arriving Tuesday pm. Bit stressed!

On the plus side I'm taking a couple of days holiday from work, so I can get the IVF drugs delivered at the same time as preparing the house for its visitor.

Hope you're all well.

mamap beware splashes

Velvetcu · 11/10/2010 22:11

Hellooo all had gone quiet in here! I'm meant to be making powerpoints for classes tomorrow but am soooo not in the mood!

DachshundsRule · 11/10/2010 22:20

forgot to turn the heating off yesterday though, so it was a little hot!

Morning all, I am so full of the joys of Autumn, not sure why, just am!

We are negotiating to buy business and now dh is home it's full on ttc so perhaps I can feel good things around the corner for 2011!!

Also, total breakthrough at weekend, had cuddles with my friends 8 week old baby, and didn't shed a tear, just totally loved it. Must confess though, it just confirmed that I can't wait to be a mum, I am so ready to join that club! Felt the ole heart strings being tugged!

Won't be around 'till Thurs, see you all then x

Morning all! Mammap glad you're full of the joys of Autumn, pass some this way Grin

Dachs glad the builders have gone and now you can finally enjoy the fruits of all that work!

Hi Velvet and Lurker Nicks

DachshundsRule · 13/10/2010 19:33

nickster I'm knackered! Have snuffles, had house guest yesterday so was cleaning like a maniac all day, had to take a conference call in the afternoon and had the carpet fitters in (they finished about 15 minutes before the guest arrived!)

So today was being a tour guide (took the American guest to Windsor and had a wander)

I want my snuffles to go and AF to start so I can start the IVF and hopefully get me a BFP.

How are you?

wombat Now the house guest has gone I've been just sitting in the lounge admiring the new look, and padding upstairs every now and again just to enjoy the feeling of the super springy and soft carpet under my feet. Does that make me really strange?

mamap Glad to hear you are feeling so happy. Nice that you had a breakthrough, even if it did reconfirm your mumly longings. Hope you get your BFP soon so you can be a mum. (Same goes for the rest of you too...)

PrettyVacant1 · 15/10/2010 10:15

Mornin' EverybodyPeeps! Grin
How are we all?

Sorry I've not been about on here much, some of you luuvlies will know from my moaning on t'other freds that I have poorly hands and can't type long time.
I'm off today so I'm catching up as much as possible.

Speshul squeezes to Wombat and I hope things start feeling brighter soon xx

Dachs glad to see you have got rid of the builders and you can enjoy your noo rooms and springy carpets.
You're not strange, I was soooo excited about finishing one room I posted pics on Facefook to show off for all just my MIL and SIL to see.
They live daahn Saaaf you see. HmmGrin

Hey all, just a quickie...clearly abusing that Friday feeling, as sat at my desk carrying out important MN posting instead of work!!!
Hope all is well, there is a distinct lack of cocktails being passed

Enjoy weekend, love to you all

DachshundsRule · 16/10/2010 13:09

thanks for the cocktails mamap

Am ridiculously tired this weekend. I've had this horrible lurgy for two weeks now and just feeling cold, tired and rubbish. DH has told me to do nothing at all this weekend except sit on the sofa and watch TV, so he is currently clearing out the garage and I'm inside with the dogs cuddled up next to me. It's a hard life...

Feeling a little miserable this weekend but am trying to be upbeat and positive. The IVF drugs arrived during the week, and every time I open the fridge I'm reminded of my inability to produce a baby. The longing is so much harder to live with now that I've actually been pregnant. Would have been 20 weeks yesterday and finding out what flavour bean would have been, so found putting the ribbon on the lighting the candle quite hard as was in floods of tears. Sorry to moan, but this is a good place to unload as nobody in RL gets what it's like to go through what we've been through.

Hugs to all, hope you have a great weekend.

AuroraLeigh · 16/10/2010 14:00

Hello all, just popping by...sorry for long silence but Dad has had heart op, successful but he is still a bit loopy from morphine. I have dashed home for the weekend to see DH and go to the pub, before returning to parental home to prepare for Dad's return from hospital. Oh how I want life to get back to normal!

Dachs hugs to you, hope you're getting over the lurgy. I know just what you mean about it being harder after you've actually been pregnant. Fingers crossed for the IVF xx

Mamap hope the joys of Autumn are still abounding. I'm off to pick sloes for gin :)

Wombat hugs, and a large vodka cocktail (gin makes me tearful - unless it's lovely syrupy sloe gin...)

Will return in another week or so! xx

nickstermum · 16/10/2010 21:29

dachs sorry you are wobbling this week honey, am with you re the 20 weeks xxxx theres several of us over on the TTC thread who would all have been round about there during the last week or so, and the next week or so.

Aurora morphine is splendid stuff; v.glad your dad is doing okay. however I am going to have to take that sloe gin for..erm..research purposes

PV you need a fit manservant to do your typing. Order one immediately!!

Back to work tomorrow. Bah - I need another holiday.

DachshundsRule · 17/10/2010 22:00

owl thanks for the crossings but falling over doesn't sound good, so how about you uncross a few.. wouldn't want you hurting yourself ;)

mamap hope the hangover has gone! thanks for the good wishes.

owl nickster and anyone else this applies to - thanks for the 20 week support. Feeling a little better today, mainly because am so terrified about the IVF that I don't have any energy left for anything else.

What's with the X Factor result though?!!!!! How were Cher and Wagner not in the bottom 3??????????????????!!!!!!!!!

Driveway guy starting on Tuesday. Have carpeted garage and turned it into pantry. House looks great. Thanks for all the hugs and support. Think I'm feeling better now.

Hugs to all. Sorry for unloading this weekend. was just having a bit of a wobble. Love you all, so glad to have people that understand. :)
