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

Et voila.

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

Huge congratulations to Beansprout and Becklespeckle

That sounds fabulous FMN, hope you have a brilliant (and productive ) time.

I have finally bitten the denial bullet and have made a doctors appointment for next week to start initial fertility investigations so am feeling nervous but also strangly excited about that.

Soreheart · 26/04/2007 11:44

Ah, excellent news Becklespeckle. I do understand about the 'jinxing' - it's very much to be expected, although others have been very brave and got on the wagon...see recent messages from Beansprout. Am currently on CD1 (again, that must be about 350 CD1s since they started - doesn't my body want to try something else???) so will eat all hash browns and Pimms. Thank you.

feedmenow · 26/04/2007 17:59

Don't mean to alarm you Soreheart, but they were hash brownies, not hash browns!! But so long as they've got hash in them who cares if they are potato or chocolate!!!

Impatience · 26/04/2007 18:11

Congrats Beckle too!

Does it count as lurking if you're too busy to post but pop in, scan to see what's going on and then have to run away again?

Hash brownie, lovely! I'll stash one for after my run

gotta dash!

Soreheart · 27/04/2007 14:46

Ahh, hash brownies...er, oops.

Soreheart · 27/04/2007 14:51

Impatience, that is the very definition of lurking here in my 'Soreheart Dictionary'. I'm just checking 'deserting Hut of Gloom like the proverbial rat' in my phrase book. . . . . . hmmm..yes...I see.

Soreheart · 27/04/2007 14:54

Crypto, Well done for booking that appt. I'm sure it will make you feel empowered to know you are covering the bases even if it doesn't exactly bring joy. I have a second appt. sometime in June (nice and speedy for those of us that are ancient in fertility terms) and I'm already compiling questions / requests.

Impatience · 27/04/2007 15:29

I'm not deserting you Soreheart! I am feeling strangely ambivalent about the whole business at the moment, so perhaps that's why I don't feel I have anything much to say. Being on the other side of TTC is a weird thing. I didn't try this month because we thought dp might be pg, and mum was here etc etc. And it's such a relief not to. I've been noticing all sorts of cramps and mucus this week that normally I would be obsessing over and it's so nice to know that they're nothing. I'm feeling a bit more at one with my body. Odd. Will be away during next month ov too so can really forget about things a bit. Dp is not pg, but she will try again in a couple of weeks. I feel very relaxed about the whole thing. Bizarre. I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts.

beansprout · 27/04/2007 16:54

Hey everyone. No pregnancy for me after all. Period has just arrived. Feel a bit numb. Was just starting to think that this could actually be happening.

Just wanted to check back in. Will read and respond to your other posts later. Just need to go and have a good cry now.

feedmenow · 27/04/2007 17:10

Oh Beaney....
So sorry to have you back. When you are all out of tears come back and eat some of this chocolate-fudge-hashie with me and grab a glass for some white rum and I'll help you drown your sorrows......

greedygreedyguzzler · 27/04/2007 17:52

beansprout - are you sure its not just the bleeding that so many women get at the start of pg? i had horrible bleeding and clots 2 days after my bfp and it carried on for weeks, but all seems ok for me. i know others have had bleeding too and it hasn't been ok, but i would go to the EPU and find out.
i went to the EPU and they did a blood test to check my hcg levels and then i went back 2 days later to have them done again and if they have doubled they consider the pg viable.
i hope its not as bad as you think. i was convinced it was all over for me and couldn't quite believe it when it wasn't. i really hope its the same for you

beansprout · 27/04/2007 18:06

Not sure what to do now. Maybe I will give them a ring.

greedygreedyguzzler · 27/04/2007 18:19

definately ring them beansprout. you WERE pg! all those tests dont lie! i know they weren't getting much darker, which doesn't sound great, but the bleeding could mean you had a chemical pregnancy or it could be very similar to what i had and loads of other people get, so its prob worth finding out. you could still be pg and it could be all ok. so you need to find out to put your mind at rest. if you test again yourself they would stay positive for a while anyway even if you had lost the baby cos you would still have the hcg in your body, so a blood test is the only way to find out i think.
shame its a friday though, not sure how great the service will be at the hospital, but your area might be better than mine.

good luck

beansprout · 27/04/2007 18:24

I'm in London so there are a couple of EPUs nearby but they are both closed until Monday. Would need to go to A&E. I think I will go, otherwise I will just torment myself. Still think that the faint lines don't bode well. Thanks for your support, I appreciate it. Will let you know what they say.

lissielou · 27/04/2007 19:46

oh beansprout! i am here for you. please call nhs direct and ask to be referred. shout at them if needs be, lie about your lmp if you have to {{hug}}

beansprout · 27/04/2007 20:13

They did a test and it was negative. So that's that then.
Am going to put ds to bed, cuddle dh and cry I think.

lissielou · 27/04/2007 20:53

oh beansprout, im so sorry! take care of yourself sweetheart, if you want to chat i can give you my email. really wish that things could have been different {{Hug}}

seaside72 · 27/04/2007 20:56

beansprout I am so so sorry - there are no good words to comfort you I know. You have had such a hard week and this is just not fair. I am so fed up for all of us with this bollocks TTC malarky
But I know everyone is here for you in the hut whenever you need us.

{{{big hug}}}

sideways · 27/04/2007 21:50

beansprout - so, so sorry for you . I really thought you had done it then and made your escape from the Hut.

Take care of yourself and indulge yourself this weekend. xx

greedygreedyguzzler · 28/04/2007 09:51

oh beansprout, how completely crap for you. get lots and lots of cuddles from dh. xxx

Cryptonomicon · 28/04/2007 15:25

I am so, so sorry beansprout. I don't know what to say but am thinking of you.

Impatience · 29/04/2007 19:16

Oh Beansprout, I am so sorry. xxx

beansprout · 29/04/2007 21:11

Thank you so much for all your messages, they mean a lot.

Hope you are all well. Look forward to eating/drinking/snorting/smoking with you all soon

Yup, those chemical pregnancies are a bitch all right. I'm so very sorry it didn't work out for you, Beansprout.

Also I think we blew it this month by going away camping at the crucial time (ie this last weekend). Am giving hope the heave-ho this month. Good-oh.
