Feck off with your babydust - The hut of gl/doom, home of inadequate reproduction

[wewishyouamerrylissiemas]

ok, so the hut disappeared so I decided to open a new one. tis a 20's style gin joint!

bossy I have cheapie ov sticks that only show a fairly pale line for 2 days then disappear. I take that as a positive as usually coincides with ewcm. They are currently relegated to a drawer and i'm good at forgetting they are there.
I've started taking conception vitamins as well and they turn my wee a strange shade of citrus yellow

I am wondering whats going on re my blood test. it should only be for progesterone and the woman who took the sample seemed sure it would be back by weds. I am bored at work and reading too much into it. I clearly like to send myself a little insane in the days leading up to af.

Good luck with your results tomorrow Ninja - annoying they're late but test results are often late I find so don't read in to it. Keep us posted.

I have mixed luck with ov sticks. I could never see a line darker than test lines. I use the smiley face ones now.

I have been praying all week that if AF comes, it comes on Friday, that will give me a 12 day luteal phase. I keep thinking she is here though. It makes me nevous everytime I go to the loo because every month it comes, I feel absolute despair and I can't believe what would have been my due date is in just two weeks. My 44 yr old cousin gave birth last night and she got pregnant straight away just before me.

Mrs h- congrats . Meant to post sooner but that is good news.

Hairy- massive sympathy. It's really hard early on and I do think working helps- just do whatever you need to cope and If that is curling up on sofa go with it.

Ninja good luck tomorrow- I dont think time means anything when a dr or nurse says they will see you at x time or have results by y as it's never right.

Angster- I was surprised how upset I was re what would have been due date last month. It's not go to me before with other mc but hit me hard.

Feeling bit brighter after weekend away. Dh away for few days at end of week and suspect will be over prime dates so am thinking no 2ww this month

right well, got my results, I've ovulated, level was 89 which I believe is good? So DP is ok, I'm ok but what do we do now? I'm guessing another trip to docs to discuss results and plan of action? Can't be much more to the plan other than shagging can there? I'm not quite sure what I need to ask, do i need any more tests to be done if 21 day progesterone was ok?

How is everyone today?

Im having killer dreams atm so could be onto something! I doubt it though, I am well spotty today and was decidedly depressed yesterday so I guess im on the hormonal come down to AF!

Hmm I just got my last 21 day bloods back, this one was 25 so in all had 15 (though maybe taken a little late), 20 and 25. Still a bit low I guess. Will ring to discuss with GP.
Ninja I would def go back to GP though suspect it will be about shagging for a while. Are you having the bloods checked again? My GP wanted to check progesterone for three cycles cos they can vary.
Hugs to Hairy and Sleazy.

bex sounds like yours is going up each time you have it, thats got to be good? Let us know how you get on with your gp.

I think i'll try to get appt tomorrow if i can get a particular doc, but will have to take ds with me as is my day off. At least then if there are any other tests that need doing I can book them sooner rather than later.

changing killer dreams? is that bad or good?

Hiya ladies,

Would you mind if I joined you here? I've flitted in and out of a few other threads but they're far too perky and cheery for my liking!

On our 14th month of TTC for DC2 and the inevitable spotting has begun so tide of doom imminent. Had 1st consultation with fertility doc yesterday, so just getting underway with tests (totally depressing) and my sister announced her 2nd pregnancy last week - (achieved very quickly) Hooray!

So all-in-all am feeling fed up of the whole fecking business but totally powerless to stop! (I have been using a CBFM for the past 9 months and have been temping/charting for the past 4 months but am stopping the temping from next month as it's just a daily reminder that I'M STILL NOT PREGNANT!!!!)

Pink x

hello pink and welcome to our gin palace. Your story sounds similar to mine. I'm trying to dc2 for nearly a year, lots of friends popping out kids left right and centre and we're off to see sil on sat who had her baby last week. and I'm due af tomorrow so will be feeling very cheery as I head up the motorway on sat morning. Not!
Has your doc told you what tests you need? There are lots of very knowledgeable peope on this thread if you have questions.

Is it time for a cocktail yet?

Hi Ninya thanks for the welcome.

Doc is doing day 21 (and day 26 as sometimes ovulate later) blood tests for the next 2 cycles and a further SA for DH. His last one showed some motility issues but doc didn't seem concerned about this so I'm trying not to be either. Then I'll be waiting for an appointment for a hsg (is that what it's called - the dye through tubes thing to check for blockages). It all sounds hideous and I can't help feeling sick with jealousy that I'm the one that has to go through all this when everyone else I know just decides they want another baby and along it comes no fuss.

Fingers crossed your AF stays away then - I'm having the usual pink-tinged CM that always signals start of AF but I'm telling myself there's a vague chance it could just be down to the lady-garden rummaging that went on yesterday as 3 swabs were taken from me 'down below'. This whole TTC experience is just so glamorous!

Good luck with the baby visiting, a friend who started TTC same time as me had her baby on Tuesday. Deffo time for a strong cocktail I think.

Welcome Pink, we're not often perky and cheery so no worries there!
I'm going tomorrow for day 21 tests, fun fun...
Have no symptoms of anything whatsoever, except a big bloated stomach, but that is entirely due to eating too many squidgy chocolate cookies with my .

Hi PinkCustard.

Ninja by killer dreams, I mean awesome dreams not murderous dreams!

Last time I was pregnant I was a big dreamer, excuse the pun lol!

One of these should go down nicely I think.
Good luck with the tests, I wouldn't be surprised if 3 swabs caused a pink tinge, you never know what might happen!

Mmmm make mine a large one

thats true, when gyn had a good rummage af started 3 days later without warning and instead of the usual couple of days of brown spotting it was like a proper bleed for the first time in god knows when. Dont know what he did but it even ended quicker instead of several days of brown discharge. Must have magic hands no cramps till after a couple of days either and were very mild. Hooray im fixed

Welcome pink, shall we have pink cocktails to welcome her? Yeah I am encouraged they got higher ninja. Dh is booked in to provide his sample so we may as well go together when all results are in.

Hi ladies, well i'm back here again which means Effing AF arrived! So pissed off you wouldn't believe. (well actually you ladies probably DO believe!!) I really thought we'd done it, i was getting so many symptoms, i was bloody text book!

But it must have been all in my head... Reproductive organs aren't working and now my head is messed up too. Right effing state i'm in!!!

Decided to stop Clomid and actively trying TTC for a while as I need a break from it all. Going to just focus on DS and enjoy the beginnings of Spring with him for a while.

So glad i've got here to come to. I can say how pissed off and upset i am and not try and 'be positive' or 'stop thinking about it and it will happen' or smile and agree when someone says 'if its meant to happen it will'...

Thanks ladies, hugs to you all x

Just read back over some of the recent news (i really need to get on here more often, hopefully after half term!).

Fab news Mrs H Congratulations! Renews my hope!

Ninja booze sounds like it definately in order, I'll be joining you!

hairy hope you're feeling better

Welcome new ladies, sorry you're here tho'... but i've been so glad to find somewhere where i feel 'normal'!

My Dh said the other night 'you're secretly loving this aren't you?'. I had to explain the sense of relief it was to find others who understood'. Hope all recent recruits find it helpful to be somewhere where it'snot just about 'jumping on a bus and cracking a month'.
Realised I am pinning all hopes on a bfp thus month, mega symptom spotting even tho we only dtd 4 days before ovulation. Bit unrealistic I know!

Hey Bex we have to keep hoping... Fingers crossed for you hun x. My DH doesn't seem to understand either.

Hello,

Well f'ing AF is def on the way so all my hope for this month has disapperared again. Bollocks! The usual thought of giving up flashed through my mind, but ofcourse I'll just keep going. Am trying to think longer term, and telling myself this time next year this will be a distant memory...(although this time last year I was sure I'd have a baby by now...)

Sorry you're feeling crap too Bisous, it really is shit isn't it. I'm wondering if it's too early to crack open the vodka to drown my sorrows...?

My sis has her scan today - so both my sisters either have a second or are baking one as we speak, and my dad said the other day 'you'll have to catch up' although to be fair they don't know we've been trying.

Morning all. Sorry to hear you're so pissed off bisous, although not surprised. Some months seem to affect worse than others.
Don't know about you but I allow myself a certain amount of pissed offness as it seems to help me cope with the rest better.
I'm feeling resigned to af starting today, can feel the beginning rumblings already. Am feeling ok about it so far. Will go back to docs on weds when I have day off and ds will be at nursery. Think I might do yoga/ pilates again. It's good for clearing my head and getting the blood flowing. Plus my pelvic floor is crap!

Hi pink sorry you're feeling crap too. It's Friday so breakfast booze is allowed I think!

Friday yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

Date night tonight, DD is at Nannys still no AF here but another 4 days to go until due! FX for me girls. DP said I looked "Porky" last night! Cheers

Please can I join in? Have been linked through from a thread I started.

Fell pg with DS instantly and have not been using contraception for DC2 since last June. Main reason I'm not pregnant yet it probably down to DH being other side of an ocean 2-3 weeks a month the last few months and me just burning the candle at every end in an attempt to find a silver lining to the cloud of not being pregnant. But reckon it's about time I took it more seriously otherwise I will NEVER get pregnant again.

Do you guys reckon it's worth charting fertility or whatever that means? AF is all over the place, last one was 46 days before showing up.

Ugh I just don't want to have to deal with the disppointment every month
