Et voila.

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

Oh Beansprout. So sorry. Thinking of you.

Chocolatedays · 30/04/2007 18:40

Lovely Hut-mates - help, I'm feeling really low. Just seen pg bf who is looking georgeous, she has splashed out on loads of expensive clothes and is discussing her choice of family fiendly house (£800K - a snip!). I'm pleased for her but so, so jealous. I want to cry. I feel hollow. I feel so very sad. Why am I unable to get pg??

seaside72 · 30/04/2007 19:28

Chocolatedays - I am right there with you - just had text from my bloomingly pg BF telling me they are just about to complete on their new uber cool house and "would love to come and visit us in their brand new xxxx" ( SUV 4x4 and we are not talking a Renault Espace here - think mega luxury car) Oh and btw "my bump is growing!" - yippee - can you feel the bitterness and sarcasm!!
She did have the thoughtfulness to ask when my appointment with the consultant was and to "reassure" me not to worry as she has loads of friends who have been through IVF and have hoards of kiddies - "it will be fine - I'll just have to wait a bit longer" says she who got pg first month of TTC - ARGHHHHHHH

I hate being but it is so hard

Here - have a brandy - I am geting rather partial to it as I am using it to mix flower remedies -

seaside72 · 30/04/2007 19:29

Do we have the same BF!!!

seaside72 · 30/04/2007 19:30

Oh wait - newsflash - she has just (since my last post) emailed me the scan pics - FFS - I am going to scream very loudly in RL

seaside72 · 30/04/2007 19:31

AND asked me to organise her baby shower - sob

Chocolatedays · 30/04/2007 19:41

OMG - hadn't even thought about organising her baby shower. I can see that coming my way too. I'm going to hope we do have the same bf - so you have you're organising it and all I have to do is bring a cake (hmmm may accidentally spill some cayenne) ...or I could make some feeble excuse why I can't attend.

Chocolatedays · 30/04/2007 19:42

She goes for her scan next week - hmm - should get to see the scan just as I start injecting for IVF - the temp menopause should be kicking in nicely - I predict a riot.

Chocolatedays · 30/04/2007 19:43

Best make my Brandy a double.

Which seaside are you from?

beansprout · 30/04/2007 19:45

Bit of flower remedy for me too please!

Sorry, but I think asking you to organise a baby shower, given that she knows about your circumstances, is a bit off

lol at "predict a riot"

Chocolatedays · 30/04/2007 20:00

Hi Beansprout - how are you doing. I know some would call what you have been through as a chemical pg but I think the phrase demeans what you are going through. I m/c is a m/c - and I am so sorry you are having to go through it - my heart goes out to you.

Chocolatedays · 30/04/2007 20:02

Sorry if that is not what you want from the hut - but I needed to get that rant off my chest.

seaside72 · 30/04/2007 22:03

I'm back - jut went and vented my frustrations in a yoga class (not excatly how you are supposed to approach yoga but hey ho - needs must!!)

Chocdays - I am right by the seaside in Cornwall - pretty far down on the north coast - It is wonderful - no moaning about that- and I wouldn't swap my lovely home for my BF's new London pad for all the tea in China -

IKWYM about the baby shower beansprout - in fairness she has asked me and another friend and I guess in a way she is in a no win situation as I think she would feel bad not asking me to be invloved? All I can think about is being at that shower in 4 months time and not being pg myself - OMG - it is only 4 months away -we have been TTC for 14 months now - another 4 is prob going to make no diff at all FFS I am going to have to down the entire bottle of flower essence tonight (the White Chestnut that is supposed to help with the feelings of BITTERNESS!! and the entire bottle of brandy as a chaser!

sideways · 01/05/2007 21:52

Everyone happy today then?

lissielou · 02/05/2007 07:28

hi all, well, SiL is one day past her edd, wont this baby just fecking come and put me out of my misery?

beansprout, how are you doing? (silly q i know)

seaside and choc, arsenic cake? its shit when everyone else's life plan is going to schedule isnt it?

sideways · 02/05/2007 10:11

Had a fab day yesterday until evening when I checked my email to find out that yet another friend is pg, expecting no. 2.

And guess what, it was a complete surprise.

And it's only 10 minutes since she gave birth to the first one (well, not really, I'm exaggerating for effect).

And she's a lot younger than me, so now I feel completely useless, like it's never going to happen and I might as well give up and dp was away for pratically all the relevant time this month.

Am fed up.

Cryptonomicon · 02/05/2007 10:54

That sucks Sideways. Those 6ww are killers.

I went to the doctors today to ask about getting initial fertility tests and thankfully she was really lovely. She said that statistics were still in our favour for conceiving naturally but she was happy to kick off blood/sperm analysis tests to get the ball rolling as it were.

I don't think Mr Crypto is much looking forward to his part of the process though

sideways · 02/05/2007 19:32

Well, another day another pregnancy. Just spotted that someone else I see regularly is clearly expecting.

Is it because it is spring?

Crypto - glad you have got the ball rolling. At least you feel as if you are doing something.

And where are all you others? All got your bfp over last few days? Don't leave me here to wallow in other people's pregnancy hormones.

Chocolatedays · 02/05/2007 20:08

The Hut is a bit quiet at the mo. Had been wondering if everyone else had moved onto the ante natal threads.

I do sometimes wonder if I am the longest member to be on the conception threads!

I went for an interview in Nappy Valley today (the bit of London which has the highest concetration of under two yr olds in Europe) OH JOY.

beansprout · 02/05/2007 20:13

I'm still an old grouch! Am so used to not being pregnant and assuming that I can't/won't be that it took me a whole weekend to get over an early m/c and go back to "hey ho, I'm on the ttc treadmill" which is such familiar territory.

Things that people say when they mean well, no. 596:

"Well, at least you know you can conceive now, so hopefully next time, it will last the course...."

Argghhhhhh!
Pass me the brandy, the chocolate and a baseball bat please

feedmenow · 02/05/2007 20:48

Evening chocolate, evening beaney, I'm still here! The hut has been rather quiet, hasn't it? So we have to assume either everyone is on the antenatel threads or drowning their sorrows to such a degree that they're either too pissed to get to their computer or having their stomachs pumped at A&E
Well, as I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, our pet bearded dragon laid 15 eggs. Now I feel that the possibility of 15 little baby anythings is really rubbing my nose in it, but......get this.....she's pregnant again!! After the first eggs were laid I read up on it and found out that she could possibly lay the next lot 3-4 weeks after the first lot, but didn't really expect it. However, she is DEFINATELY eating for 2 (or should that be 22!) and her belly is expanding daily. So in a couple of months I could be "Granny" to over 30 LO's!!!!!

Chocolatedays · 02/05/2007 20:51

Dare I ask what a bearded dragon is?

(I guess this has already been explained - but I can't be arsed to read through reams of posts - sorry! )

Chocolatedays · 02/05/2007 20:54

Oh - and am I the only one who looks at those two threads about planning conception so the baby arrives at 6pm on a chosen date. I think I should have a go at that rather than just feebly stabbing (or fumbling) in the dark month after month.

beansprout · 02/05/2007 20:57

Farking 'ell, that is one rampant dragon. What sort of knocking shop are you running there (and can she come and be our mascot)?

I've been ttc for nearly a year, so I have a rationale for practically every bloody month in the calendar.
Upshot: I don't care, can I just have a baby please? Pretty please?

lissielou · 02/05/2007 20:59

well , SiL has had a little girl and im feeling really shitty about it. ive lost 5 babies in 18m! its so unfair! sorry iknow im being unreasonable but ive got to go and see them tomorrow and i dont know how i'll cope with it. everyones been asking dh if im ok (which im really not) which makes me feel even worse about being so self-absorbed. will i ever get over this and reach a point where i can actually be happy for new mums? why am i failing so spectacularly at it?

think af is on her way too. whoopee!

sorry beansprout, how are you hun?

and hi to all. fancy joing me in a tequila contest? the first to the worm wins!
