Hut of Gl/Doom tercera- We hate babydust and we don't care.

I'm imaging this one as more of an Eeyore stick hut type thing. Maybe Eeyore is actually still in residence.

By the way, there haven't been any pregnancy announcements on this thread. Has anyone shimmied away without me noticing? I don't dare touch the other ttc threads so wouldn't have seen anything there. As my ftc pals, I'd be so happy if any of you got pregnant. Please let me know, I want to know! It means even us long term failbies can sometimes function.

Oh god, I'm really feeling it tonight. I'm going in search of wine.

Impatience - I'm at a different stage in my cycle (adopts geordie accent..."day 7 in the hut of gloom") but your "t because that's what I do" comment is spot on. In fact, I hereby declare that the next stage of this thread should be called, "The hut of gloom, part 4 - ftc, because that's what we do".

Now, where's that chocolate?

Impatience · 06/03/2007 20:27

I might even get a t-shirt done. Or adopt 'ftcforlife' as a new gmail name. Or just donate my womb to science, art or the highest bidder. I'm sure Damien Hirst could do something mildly interesting with it: 'Tribute to the girl who thought anything was possible', 'Don't count on it' or perhaps just 'HA HA HA only half a cow!'

Pah.

ammylovesolivia · 06/03/2007 20:39

Beansprout-agree.

Can mumsnet not ban these tedious threads 'I'm 8 months late, my tits are leaking milk all over my 54 inch waist and I'm having contractions. Could I be pregnant?'

How f**king boring.

lissielou · 06/03/2007 20:50

so glad im not the only one pissed off about it. it just seems so f*cking unfair.

am trying to persuade dh to ttc after this rotton stinking period gets here. its odd but part of me thinks maybe the docs made a mistake and im still pg, of course i know im not ffs, i have the scars to prove it!

StrangeTown · 06/03/2007 21:02

Hello everyone, not posted for a while, but have been checking in.
Impatience you post made me cry.

DH is away this week, not sure when I'm going to OV as it's 2 weeks post m/c but I bet its before he comes back. Sh*t.

No lissie, you're right, this is what I have come to expect from TTC.
I don't think I'm cut out for this...I have no idea how people keep going.

Hope you are getting better physically now?

AitchTwoOh · 06/03/2007 21:17

hello ladies, i just wanted to pop my head ound the door of the Hut of Doom and say that i wish i'd known about this place when i was going through all my shitey ectopic-y stuff.

it used to drive me fking crackers when insanely positive mums used to tell me that it would happen when i least expected it etcetera etcetera. or post saying that they had no fallopian tubes and half a womb but they still managed to get their little miracle...

so i'm not going to do that. it probably will happen fine in the end, you know, but if you're the one who keeps getting left behind it feels all the more shit. (been there, done that).

so i wanted to say that i'm glad you've got each other and are taking this gloriously intelligent and eeyore-ish attitude to the bollocks of ttc. if you get pregnant and have babies, it will have everythign to do with opportunity and biology and very little to do with a positive mental attitude, imho. if i try again then i'll come and knock on the door of the hut of doom. but i'm hoping that none of you will be here to greet me.

lissielou · 06/03/2007 21:18

actually, physically i feel better than i have in 2y. still a bit sore round my scar, but 100% better, emotionally.... holding it together better than i thought,

the prob is everyones telling me how well im doing, how strong i am, how well im coping and i dont want to let them down by falling apart iykwim

lissielou · 06/03/2007 21:20

hi aitch, it pisses me off when i hear tales of women whove had 12 mcs been ttc for 20y then had 8 in 1y with no probs...... just relax and itll happen

you try to fecking relax! (rant over

StrangeTown · 06/03/2007 21:22

Aitch - an empty hut, that would be something
Lissie - glad you are ok. I absolutely know about expectations of other people and not wanting to let them down.
I feel such a bloody failure for my DH too

lissielou · 06/03/2007 21:24

tis shite! i keep asking him if he still wants to be with me if i am barren, he says yes but im so sad for him, i know we have ds and we are v lucky, but i dont feel it!

StrangeTown · 06/03/2007 21:28

I don't know how far I'm prepared to go to get pregnant and carry and baby and thinking about all this scares me. Both the idea of doing it and of not doing it.

beansprout · 06/03/2007 21:29

Thanks Aitch

Impatience · 06/03/2007 21:29

Lissie, as you can probably tell from my posts I don't believe in pretending anything's better than it is. Please be sure you're not covering up any struggles for other people's benefits: It's them who should be holding themselves strong for you. If you genuinely are feeling better, good for you. I'm bloody impressed!

StrangeTown, sorry! That's really not the first time I made someone cry on MN. God, what a dubious talent I've uncovered...

StrangeTown · 06/03/2007 21:29

Sorry, not sure that made sense, I mean if I can't do this naturally what lengths me and DH would go to in order to have a family.

AitchTwoOh · 06/03/2007 21:30

oooh, i said the barren thing a lot... poor dh. i wasn't very nice to him, i think. anyway, i'm off now to give him a hug for being kind to me when i needed it and i wish you all the best of luck. and if luck's not your thing, then that your partner's sperm and your egg with make a nice baby that will travel all the way down the fallopian tube, land nicely on a well-padded uterine wall and then stay there, growing healthily for nine months.

Impatience · 06/03/2007 21:31

StrangeTown, I'm looking up adoption stuff as we speak.

lissielou · 06/03/2007 21:31

tbh impatience, ive felt so shitty for the last 2y with the pnd and being so bloody ill all the time that i feel better now, suppose its all relative!

StrangeTown · 06/03/2007 21:31

Impatience, it's a good thing I think!
Bit like Lissie, I have been bottling things up in an attempt to be very together and it's good to get nice and emotional in the comfort ones own home now and again...

lissielou · 06/03/2007 21:32

oh aitch you are lovely

StrangeTown · 06/03/2007 21:33

x posted Impatience.
We haven't done this yet. I really don't think DH would want to do this. I think he would just let us call it a day.

lissielou · 06/03/2007 21:34

impatience

is adoption the route you want to take then?

Agree about Aitch being most lovely. Thanks for not dropping in with a ton of that fcking b**ust. Not that you would, I'm sure.

And, gals:

This is the place to unpack. The only bottles in here are empties, thankyouverymuch.
