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

And even then, in my experience, Sideways.

Just bought (would love to say "baked" but am really not that good) a huge chocolate fudge cake and some thick, thick cream. Tuck in everyone!!
No booze for me tonight cos I'm on antibiotics. Am meant to wait 48 hrs after I finish them as well....does anyone know if this is REALLY necessary????

lissielou · 09/03/2007 21:12

mrsMcJ, im so so sorry.

impatience..... everything crossed for you!

well periods still not here! iknow it can be 6w but i ovulated 14d ago and my cycle is 28d bang on. all the fecking time!

just want to jump back on the ftc horse! or in my case ftc means failing to carry

lissielou · 09/03/2007 21:15

didnt mean to be insensitive to those having probs conceiving btw

pepperpots · 09/03/2007 21:54

Firstly i just wanted to say MrsMcJnr i am so sorry for you i have been following your recent threads, and i couldn't post without saying i'm thinking about you.

Oh impatience are you sure you aren't me
I did a test this morning again (have no idea why) and i could see something there - but i have done so many i know where the line 'should' be so i make myself see it iyswim(?) And it can only be seen at an angle. I am just so fucking annoyed with myself cos i know this time next week i will be somewhere around cd fecking 2!!!
And no matter how much i say i'm gonna leave it for 48 hours i know that i'm gonna put myself through this agony again in the morning before i go to work!
GGGGGGGGGGGrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

becklespeckle · 09/03/2007 22:35

we all put ourselves thru it
I find that the longer I wait to test, the more symptoms I give myself and the more disappointed I am with the negative

becklespeckle · 09/03/2007 22:38

I confess I did another test this morning - still neg, still no AF.

plummymummy · 10/03/2007 00:00

Impatience - sorry to hear about your period arriving. I had hoped it was good news, like many others in the hut. I am still gutted at the lack of bfps from the March thread. In fact the only bfp as far as I can see was someone who hadn't even posted on the thread (she had been on previous ttc threads)and then came on to announce her pg.

beansprout · 10/03/2007 08:38

Duchesse - sorry, was skim reading yesterday as I was too chicken to stay in the front room for longer than 5 mins at a time, but would very much like to take you up on the offer of the meece scaring device. I didn't mean to ignore your offer, I just simply didn't see it. Doh! I'll pay for postage of course. Will CAT (arf) you. Thank you!

Any of that choc fudge cake left?

Hi to everyone else. Sorry there are so many of you have a particularly difficult time at the moment.

lissielou · 10/03/2007 12:50

hi all, are we suitably hacked orf today?

lissielou · 10/03/2007 15:16

periods here! thats it, all over!

beansprout · 10/03/2007 15:40

Oh rats Lissielou. Sorry to hear that - you ok?

lissielou · 10/03/2007 15:42

yeah, in a way im relieved. it means that we can get on with tests, ftc etc. but in another way it means the docs didnt make a mistake and my baby really is gone. i know it doesnt make sense but a tiny bit of me was holding on to that

beansprout · 10/03/2007 15:45

That's so, so understandable.

lissielou · 10/03/2007 15:46

thanks, tried to explain it to dh and i dont tnhink he got it.

beansprout · 10/03/2007 15:48

I think it is one of the (many) cruel tricks of nature that our male partners can never quite understand how we feel about these things.

lissielou · 10/03/2007 15:50

suppose so. i mean i saw the scan pic that showed that my malteaser wasnt in my womb. i saw him in the tube. i had two lots of major surgery, that no foetus could really have survived but i still kept thinking, theyve made a mistake

I reckon there is a hormonal process that we go through when we give birth that convinces is that that's it for that pregnancy. If that pregnancy ends, for whatever reason, abruptly and not ""naturally"" (in my case in an erpc under general anesthetic after missed miscarriage- and boy was my body fighting) I think we continue to believe ourselves pregnant until the hormones drop.

Atfer my erpc, I like you hoped against hope all sorts of strange things: that they'd made a mistake, that the baby was still alive, even that I had an undetected abdominal pregnancy which I would somehow survive and my baby too. In the end, it was only getting back to nasty PMS that convinced me otherwise.

MrsMcJnr · 10/03/2007 17:55

Hello PlummyMummy ? thank you for posting for me. You remembered right, they did say I was small for my dates, about 1 1/2 /2 weeks out, that?s when I started to worry to be honest because I knew that didn?t seem right . The baby did grow after that scan and catch up a bit but it wasn?t to be . Sorry to hear that you have been through a hard time too, I hope you fall again soon .

Thanks Impatience, I?m already sick of hearing my Mother say ?put it behind you and move on? I think DH and I are entitled to mourn for at least a day before hearing that from close family . You?re right ?a bit low? doesn?t really do it more like utterly devastated and feeling lost and unable to imagine how I will find anything fun again for a long time . Sitting here with my old friend Ms Chablis, I?m unfortunately finding it very easy to get back into the drinking after 7 dry weeks.

Hey Beansprout ? how are you? Thanks for the welcome. You know me, generally sickeningly positive so I won?t bug you all with that but there?s not much chance of too much of that right now. Is there a moouse loose about your hoouse then?! (as we?d say up here)

Feedmenow ? not stalking you, promise. Now I understand I thought you had graduated and I realised when I posted on the other thread that something must have gone wrong. I am so sorry for your loss too hon I know that the reason why they used to say you couldn?t drink on antibiotics was because they filtered them back through urine (I?m talking dark ages) I know that some can make you really sick if you drink with them though. Hope you are feeling ok and that it?s nothing serious.

Thanks Duchesse, all the support does make a big difference.

Sideways ? thank you hon, I know how heartfelt that was.

Lissielou ? I still think about you and what happened to you a lot, I am genuinely so very, very sorry. Sorry to hear that your cycles are messed up now too. I totally understand your thoughts on getting your period. I?m sure I will feel exactly the same. You can?t help hoping that there will be some miracle baby hiding behind something though I know there isn?t. Were you told to wait until after first period before trying again?

Hello Pepperpots ? thank you, that was kind of you. Only advice I can give is save yourself the anguish of ?is there a line or isn?t there? and buy some digitals or am I being really naïve here?

buffythenappyslayer · 10/03/2007 18:15

mrsmc,ive just seen your name and just wanted to say that i am so very sorry for your loss.i hope you and your dh are ok.ive posted on the other thread but didnt know if youd see it.

just wanted to say that i really am so sorry.dont listen to people who say put it behind you.you take all the time you need to grieve.i didnt when i had my mc's last year,and when my dd's twin died,and it affected me badly.you need to greive for your baby.

once again,i am so sorry,and i wish you and your dh all the luck in teh world for the future.

beansprout · 10/03/2007 18:29

I think Duchesse's point is a good one. A friend of mine lost her baby at 18 weeks and her body still felt and looked pregnant for a while afterwards which made the whole process of coming to terms with what had happened all the harder.

(Thanks for the address btw, will contact you).

I'm acting hard but feeling soft at the moment. I just suddenly felt a real pang of wanting, of needing to be pregnant just from seeing a flippant preg thread title on active convos. Tha was possibly triggered by the 7 week old baby we just saw in Sainsbury's. My immediate hard thought was "yeah, but hey, I'm getting more sleep than you" and then I just wanted to cry.

pepperpots · 10/03/2007 19:05

Evening everyone!
Still seeing that stupid evap line
MrsMcJnr the reason i dont do a digital is because its a like a kick in the teeth to see in words "NOT PREGNANT" at least with a test i could still cling to that last bit of hope iyswim I am driving myself crazy though i can't stop testing 'just in case', my (.)(.)'s are sore but thats normal when af is due, yet i can't stop seeing it as a sign of pg!!!! AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry but i have no where else to rant, hope nobody minds?

BellaBear · 10/03/2007 19:06

am I allowed to laugh in the hut at (.)(.)?

beansprout · 10/03/2007 19:07

Yes!
