Hut of Gl/Doom, part IV - FTC, because that's what we do....

[duchesse]

Et voila.

This Hut is more of a Bedouin or desert tent than anything too gloomy. We shall supply our our own gloom.

Sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned the babydust word - slaps self hard across face. Bbabymumma, I'm not sure how it's defined or even typed but it's like fairy dust, you sprinkle it around and the fairies come, or babies in this case, or some such nonsense. Anyway, the only dust allowed in the hut is a virtual white powder you snort rather than sprinkle.

Did you mention champagne? It'll probably go well with my Jack Daniels. See you in the corner.

Can we mix JD's and champagne? - always worth a try. Don't smack yourself too hard eclipse - no self harming in here.

Babydust sounds a bit like babybollox. Such a horrid old cynic....but there is cause to celebrate.

Hi all - still far to upbeat to take a seat (don't worry - it won't last).

Rather like the idea of a Hut Alumni Games Room - they could pop in, fess up, and donate something appropriate (eg a Pregnancy Punchbag, Up the Duff Dart Board, etc).

If they have some pearl of wisdom as to where babies come from I'd be all ears (maybe they snorted a stash of that babydust stuff )- BUT any sign of a winge about being pg will be stamped on... IMNSHO.

If it's anyone who's posted on here I'd love to know they got pregnant. Who is it?! But I wouldn't want everyone coming by slapping me in the face with 'oh I wasn't even trying, lucky me!'

Come on, spill the beans: who of our hut got pregnant? (I don't go anywhere near those other threads.)

Should I wait until she says? I don't think she'd mind. If she does she can come in here and choke me with babydust. It's Ambi. Done 2 tests - both BFPs!! One wasn't even in the morning.

oh good for her! When did she test? She was just in here yesterday masquerading as a FTCer! Ambi, congrats!

What the hell, any excuse for a drink.
LAdies, commence swigging!!

That's great news!

Pass the bottle - (I was going to suggest champagne - but is that a bit too frivolous for the hut?)

Been speaking to the hospital - and this is my last cycle before IVF. (though won't know the outcome until June - it takes much longer than I had expected. Scary. Exciting. Yet sad I haven't been able to do this naturally.

Well I would lovel to know if we have any hut graduates as I never venture onto other threads. I have been wondering where some of the regulars have dissapeared to and hoping that maybe it was because they have got their BFPs.

Congratulations Ambi

Hi , I agree, I think it should be a hut custom, a bit like naming a ship! that we crack open a bottle of champers to set the lucky BFP on its way
Fantastic news Ambi can you share any hints or tips . I also like a donation to the hut as well as a leaving pressy to us all - I can see another custom being made. Next time we open a hut up we may need to set up some rules of engagement...(might need to query if pets/animals are allowed as well given the camel issue recently)

Has anyone else developed an antennae for pregnant women? My DP is amazed at how I can spot one from nowhere.... on our two day break I noticed the waitress and two guests (not all together either and must have been less than 6 months - DP thinks I have gone mad as I point them all out - cos he says he has never seen any before how is that? I am sure they are naturally gravitating towards me to make me jealous

Well, since we're outing, Lissielou has got a very early bfp. Delighted for her and hope she ventures back here if only to share a glass of fizz before she has to give up even virtual drinking.

oooh, Lissie too! Well that's very good news, especially given all she's been through. I hope this one sticks, and in the right place. Congratulations Lissie xx

Hey you guys - stop being so damn cheery or this hut will have to be renamed!!!! {thanx tho} actually was expecting "das period", so feel a bit foolish for posting in here before!!!

LNO - agree on the pg radar - I have recently guessed 2 still in the first three months - its like a weird sixth sense - annoying. And everywhere I go there seem to be women in all stages wherever I look - like some kind of cruel taunting.
My BF has just texted me the date of her first scan - half hearted textual yipees were the response - feeling like a bitch - pass the bubbly

Congratulations Ambi! , and lissie! -honestly - for some reason I am able to be genuine with my congrats for fellow mners and especially fellow doomsters! - just dont all leave at once!!

LNO - I can't do links but this is what I used last month www.askdramy.com/ovulationcalc.html

and only had sex on most fertile day, no babydustbollox I promise. I'll leave you all With a crate of red wine, and Walkers thai sensations crisps, and ok, since it's easter, a truck load of creme eggs!! Thanks for kind words, I know how awful it is when you hear the news when you've been trying so hard, so I'll bugger off now. and try to avoid the barage of flying glass coming my way

Huge congratulations to Ambi and Lissie (I'm soooo chuffed for you Lissie and am keeping everything I own crossed for you)

Nothing much to report here, and have been v busy with work and stuff so have been lurking rather than posting, but am really glad you are all here. It's shag week chez bean, so am being minx like sex kitten and having to shag to order isn't something we are finding a tad difficult at all....

Shag week here too, going on longer than usual thanks to very late onset of cm. Extra shagging - yippee.

But there's no minx like sex kitten behaviour going on here, I can assure you.

Congrats to lissie and ambi.

Or here either....

Sideways - not only are we cycle buddies but we are resigned-to-shagging buddies too. Spontaneous it ain't

My sex kitten behaviour extends to "come here and make it quick".

Who says romance is dead?

shagging week here too - only five days in and i just want to go to bed alone, or maybe with a hot water bottle - feeling a bit fluey and the last thing on my mind is minx lke behaviour - blueghhh - better get in the mood soon or may fall asleep wonder if this is why it is taking so long to conceive??

lol at "come here and make it quick"

Could well be why it is taking so long. That's hardly fair though, is it? Boo.

Morning ladies. A stupid thing has happened. Hold my hand? Dp was going to start trying today, so although my period isn't due till Sunday or Monday I did a test. At the 5mins, nothing. I got back into bed, read my book while enjoying my cup of tea. After a while I picked up the test again, and there was a line. A faint one, but definately pink, and definately visible. Like, with two eyes, no squinting and even when not held under bright sunlight against a white background. My guess is that this was about 20mins after doing the test. AAAaaaaggghhhh! Does this sound familiar? It should do: I had exactly this palava last month! Two days later, period. So we ummed and ahhed: Does dp go ahead with the insemination? Given her one-shot conception last time she felt it silly to try if we knew I was pg, although if we didn't know we'd just leave it to chance. Frankly I wouldn't be upset for us to both be pg. How could it be bad to have more babies?!

Anyway, the reason I call this stupid is because I've become mentally and emotionally 13. Stupid bloody stick for not giving me a line sooner so I could believe in it. Stupid bloody stick for giving me a fake line. Stupid bloody body for pissing us about so much. AAAaaaarrrghhh!

I am so angry at having a bit of hope! I have seen lines before, and I've been so long trying and I've had so much false hope that I can't bear to gee myself up again. But I'm also so angry and sad that I can't feel hopeful and excited. I remember when dp got her faint line and we were so excited and we wandered around with this haze of secret excitement, then a couple of days later it was a definate line. I'd like that, please, but I just cannot believe that this would be a real line.

Dp has cancelled her insemination this evening. And she wants me to pop out later, get the most sensitive test I can find and do another one. Just like before, the one I just used was my last. Typical. Bugger bugger bugger. I don't want to go to a shop and buy a test like a normal person who thinks they might be pregnant. I feel like a fraud!

How insane to be feeling so angry at a possible positive when it's what I've wanted for SO long. Completely mad, and sad.

Can someone make me a cup of tea and tell me something to make me feel better about all this?

Officially it is shagfest time here too - but I'm starting to wonder if I send out nasty pheromones while I'm oving as he seems to want action any other timeof the month except now.

Note to self - must act more disinterested - works rest of the time.

Blimey Impy - what a dilemma.

Here's a fat mug od tea and and a choc hob nob.

Right. Forget about what anyone in a shop will think - at boots I've never seens an assistant show much sign of thinking at all.
