The Hut of Gl/doom part IV- it's still never going to happen- but ^in^ ^style^, yes

[duchesse]

After all that desert sand, we are in serious need of slightly damper place...

This one is a hamam, complete with essential oils and thick Turkish towelling bath sheets. Mosaics on the floors, marble pools. You get the picture. It still needs some decorating though.

We have had a few graduates (OK, quite a few), which is good, but time to dust off the old Hut for those of us who are still barren.

Warning -do not venture to read other ttc threads at the moment, too depressing, come here and share the vat of fantastic white wine and the boxes of luxury belgian chocs instead.

Rainbowdays - What's going on elsewhere on ttc then? Have I missed another flurry of BFPs? Oh by the way, I have emailed you twice, and it keeps bouncing back - have you reached your limit or something? Or is it a problem my end?

MsLucy - Sounds like retail therapy has helped you, always helps me, for a while at least. Your dress sounds lovely - real glam! enjoy the wedding!

Lissie - What has the consultant said to you about what you are going through? Or have they been useless?
I guess I am just low because I had my gynae appointment, and the ball is rolling, will have an HSG first... I suppose I should be happy, but it's had the opposite effect. I feel like such a failure, like we couldn't do it on our own, we needed to ask for help. I never ask for help.

go back on the 30th, next step is clomid, see if it will regulate my ov.

nothing to worry about re tests, it is NOT failure (do know what you mean tho) you wouldnt worry about taking paracetamol for a headache or an xray for a broken leg, sometimes we need a bit of help. you can CAT me anytime you know...

goes for all of you!

I've asked for help too - have more tests next week.

I feel pleased I've done it - I felt a failure before but now feel glad I'm actually doing something.

Most people I know have problems - probably because most of my friends are older - so in my world treatment is normal.

I had one my ds without any help, but that was not without its troubles (m/c before he arrived).

yes some people can pop out kids without any trouble, but are crap in other ways (looks/brains/personality bypass/evil etc)

I'd love to be one of those people but I'm not.

So what.

I know it's silly thinking I'm a failure - I will snap out of it soon.

Fingers crossed everything goes well with the consultant Lissie - I've not subscribed to the CAT facility, but thanks for the sweet offer.
There are so many wonderful people on MN aren't there - I am so pleased I found it.

Ok, soppy moment over

Lissie - hope the clomid works out. I wish I knew what to say that could help, but have a virtual drink anyway.

Ready - have emailed you from alternative address, maybe that will work?

mslucy - hope the tests go well next week.

hi to everyone else, if you are here with me.

my emails on my profile.

just saying hello to everyone in here, im holding on

hi scorpio, hows things? havent seen you for ages

hey im ok thankyou, had a little break . makes me less stressy, y'know? i did try saying hi to you the other day, but i think you were a bit . how are you?

sorry, missed that. better now thanks. ds is potty training so ive been mopping up sh*t and p#ss all day

oh god. i hate potty training so much!!! we are doing it very soon

glad you are feeling better i'm holding up ok this time-its in about two weeks i'll be feeling down!

ttc is really shit isnt it?

the worst

i seriously thought it would of happened by now. it hasn't. im cycle 5. i know its not much but feels forever! im cd16 now....last 5 cycles like this:

28,13,41,43,34.

i cannot make sense of this whatsoever!! so just have sex quite a bit....

pmsl, bet dp doesnt mind!

no, he doesn't!

Scorpio,

If your cycles are like this (28,13,41,43,34) I would have a blood test done to see what your hormone levels are like because this is certainly an irregular cycle.

A "normal" cycle is a cycle day of between 21 and 35 days or with less than 4 days of variation from month to month. Also any cycle over 35 days is more likely than not to be anovulatory. It is quite possible to have periods without ovulating.

Hormonal imbalances are often to blame for such problems; these can be treated but you may need to seek out a gynae rather than your GP to do this. Your GP should refer you to such a person. In this regard too a condition called polycystic ovaries is a common culprit. Another possibility is thyroid problems.

First and foremost though you need a diagnosis.

Attila- thanks, but im ok i'm always like this after i stop contraceptives! i havent long had a mirena out.when i last stopped conctraceptives it took about 5 months to get regular again, and then i got pg.the same the first time too!obviously if it takes a year or more to get pg, then i will seek help.

Hi all, Just popping in to say that I'm having a month off by design. First time in over 4 years. Plus I'm away from home for these precise couple of days mid-cycle. I just don't want to spend half a month wishing and the other half wondering, just for once. It's very liberating. I think I may be becoming reconciled to not having another child. Which is bittersweet in many ways. But hey- no temping, no agonising. It's got a lot going for it.

I am actually getting to a place where I don't think I'd mind much any more whether it happens or not. I just need to stop trying, and if reckless disregard is the only possible way forwards, then so be it. I'm not sure I'd be overjoyed to do a Cherie Blair though, I must say...

totally understandable duchesse. it must be very liberating. wish it didnt have to be like this tho. x

hello fellow gloom mongers.

Was burgled on Sat night - an absolute shitter.

fortunately no one hurt - ds, dh, cats, me all ok.

taken my mind off all this stuff, which can only a good thing.

Also went to dentist for the first time in ages and still have no fillings, even though I'm nearly 37.

My womb/hormones/ds's sperm whatever maybe a bit rubbish but my teeth are bloody marvellous.

Now who'd have thought a trip to the dentist could have put a smile on my face?

Off to hosp tomorrow with a pot of spunk and the joyous treat of a vaginal probe.

Bring it on.

mslucy - really really sorry to hear about the burglary. absolute bast**ds
Good luck with the probe! (if you are going for a scan it'll fine as long as they warm the lube!)Good luck for the other tests anyway.

Good luck tomorrow mslucy

I cant face the ttc thread AF arrived early on Sunday so there goes another month and a newbie who I only put on the thead this morning got a BFP I felt like crying which is stupid I am being a git to my DH really moodie and feel like I am under a cloud AHHHHHHH and read half of Harry Pottie and like an idiot cant sleep as keep having nightmares yes like a 10 year old
