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

[duchesse]

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

I think we shall.

What will we call it? I nominate, "Hut of Gl/Doom, part IV - FTC, because that's what we do...."

Burrow of Sorrow
Shed of Dread
Womb of Gloom

Tent for a vent
Cage for some rage
Home for a groan

Jeez - I'm so cheesey it's making me queasy

Hut of Smut (hehe, Firth...hehe, Edmonds)

House of Grouse

Evening all! It is I without either BFP (big fat positive) or BFP (bloody feckin period)!
I get soo cheesed off with waiting! Having now established I have not managed a just-about-immaculate conception I just want period to come so that I can get on with next cycle! Bloody, bloody, bloody!!

The Hut for Glut (or swap g for s)

Evenin' all.
Have you got amy symptoms FMN or just bland limbo land?

sideways, just rolling up now if you're still around and in need. Pass it round and just watch out for Impatience, they never seem to get past her. There seem to be rather a few people needing to zone out for a couple of days to delay testing.

Until I'd been on mumsnet I'd never heard of implantation bleeding. So glad to have been enlightened. Now I can waste my money on tests just after a period as well as before.

Go on then eclipse, just the one if there are some left.

I'd never heard of implantation bleed before MN either. Just another symptom to spot!

i vote for beansprouts "FTC" thread title. well had (in)fertility nurse yesterday and twas ok.
the nurse was lovely. got loads of blood tests to be done, some on day 21 some on day 2. she also wants me to have an hsg. she was appalled at the standard of care i recieved and suggested off the record that if ivf is our only option we either lobby the nhs trust using our previous treatment as leverage or just out and out look for compo and use that to fund treatment. if i get pg naturally im to bypass my gp totally and contact the epu/fertility clinic immediately for a scan she also thinks i may benefit from extra folic acid and soluble asprin, but will wait for test results back. so still in limbo at the mo but at least things are moving iykwim

Hi bunnyears, so pleased that the nurse was lovely. That all sounds like sensible stuff. How do you feel about the possible IVF route? Would you consider going back to your original adoption plans?

Oh Eclipse, my smoking buddy, you know me so well! Here's a nice biggun for you. Sorry to hear your relaxing holiday didn't get you pregnant. Now you need to try another cliche. How about the quick shag in the alleyway? Use a condom but fall asleep? Standing-up shag then douche yourself down? Get blinding drunk and not even be sure you actually had sex?

I'm hoping that this being the last month before dp tries (yes, it's come to that now) will somehow magically make my body get pregnant. See, I don't believe in superstition at all, oh no...

Impatience, will you continue trying with dp or are you giving up straight away?

Lissie - glad you got a few answers, sounds as if at least someone is competent and prepared to help you.

beansprout - any news on your "pinprick of blood"?

sideways, I think I'll keep trying, but we haven't discussed whether we'll both try in the same months, or whether I'll stop until she's pregnant, or whether we'll alternate. There are lots of possibilities. She ovulates about a week before me, so if we were both trying at the same time our poor donor might get worn out!

He's so amazing. We told him dp would like to start next month, and he just said Fine, no discussion about how, it's all just fine!

Dp keeps asking me whether I'm ok with her trying. Frankly I feel relieved. If she gets pregnant again it won't change the fact that I have just FTC for so long, but it will (if everything goes well of course) change the fact that ds has no sibling. So I know I'm really very lucky to have her as my backup!

When she started trying the first (and only ) time, she said she really didn't want me to try too in case we both got pregnant. Now I really don't see that as the worst case scenario at all! Of course it might all be a bit crazy around birth but how can it be the worst case scenario for me to finally get pregnant?!

(And there I go jinxing my sod's law by secretly thinking that'll make it happen...)

God, ask a short question, get a thesis!

Your donor does sound like a really fantastic guy. You are very luck to have him.

And it's so great that you have dp who can also try to get pregnant.

How brilliant would it be it you were both pregnant together? Two heavily pregnant women grouching at each other .

I wish you both lots of luck.

dp said the first time 'How would we put our shoes on?' and I thought she was being ridiculous until I was cutting her toesnails and putting her socks on 9 months later! Oh I'd love it. First time I've felt excited and enthusiastic about TTC (note the T!) for AGES!

Period is here! So a 30 day cycle this time. Have never tried this before but am considering grapefruit juice for cm. My first couple of months ttc I think I got the right sort, but I don't think I am anymore so fancy giving nature a bit of a helping hand. Can someone plesae remind me how much I'm meant to drink and when (I take it I DO need to drink it and not douche with the stuff!!)
And just to let you all know, my scrambled egg burns on my chin are STILL bright red and a bit sore. Bloody eggs, no end of trouble whether their mine or a chickens!

I meant they're not their!! One of my pet hates, that is.....

I think it's as simple as a glass a day. Try not to have more because it's acidic and sperm prefer an 'alkaline environmnet', although whether drinking two glasses of grapefruit juice turns your vagina to vinegar I don't know!

(Is vinegar acidic..?)

Sorry you scarred yourself with scrambled eggs. How did that happen?! Doesn't it go cold within, like, 2 seconds?

a glass a day from when your period comes to really get it going. Then you can stop when you don't need any more cm if you like. Or carry on and help get your 5 a day (or is it now 9? Yikes!)

Impatience, thanks for the help.
I had an incident while microwaving scambled eggs on Moday evening - took bowl out of m/wave, stirred with fork and it exploded in my face - must have been a large mass of hot air trapped uner the surface!! Scared the shit out of me at the time, and I then stood there shocked for a good minute, so scalding hot egg just sat splattered on me til I thought to wash it off!!
I have actually found something positive about getting my period...am I allowed just ONE positive comment in the hut please? My last period (1st after mc) was really light and pathetic, but this one is a lot more "keen". Makes me think that my body must be building itself up and getting back to normal, and that my womb is now functioning to full capacity, thereby being a healthier environment for me to conceive this month.....

Have started spotting - day 22.

Quelle surprise.

And no, it's not implantation bleed.

Will be hitting the booze tonight.

Me too - Day 23.
Pass the bottle this way.

At least it means Psychobitchdays goes away for the next two and a half weeks.

Feedme, the egg fiasco sounds very unlucky and horrible! I agree that a strong period sounds like good news.

Here you go Sunshinedays - a nice glass of chilled white for you.

Thanks hun.
Have you always had a short cycle?

25/26 days.

But being dense, I always thought it was 28 days until recently.

No idea why, it was only when I got into obsessively ftc that I realised it was shorter than that .

What about you?
