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.

all good so far

progesterone - 49 (anything over 30 is ok, I think)
no chylamidia
womb fine, no scars and evidence of ovulation

dh sent off sample too!

Well thats a good start mslucy

great start, whats next?

Hi Huttees,

Have not been on for awhile so have just been catching up with everyone.

Ms Lucy, we have something else in common, no fillings! well almost in my case I do have one teeny weeny one which I had at 33!

Glad your results are coming back ok, was going to ask how the dreaded HSG went but don't think you have had that one yet?

I rang up to book mine with great trepidation yesterday but they can't fit me in for this cycle and coward that I am I was more relieved than anything else!

I was scared just getting the swabs done cos my last smear hurt, that was ok until she pulled the thing out and then it did hurt!

So DH and I are still seeing a Gynae consult on 23rd August but when we see her I will only have had my day 3 blood result and the swab results and DH sperm results. There does not seem to be any obstacles in the way of DH and I going for it this month around the crucial time so I live in hope that can avoid the HSG!

One thing I do not have in common with you is an aversion to retail therapy, that works every time for me! sorry about burglary by the way.

Hi to everyone else, sorry to turn my post into a chat with Ms Lucy but i have made her my ally cos of having things in common.

I am just recovering from stomach bug which last sunday night was foolishly hoping was morning sickness, have not eaten much all week and going to use it to kick start a diet. I am not fat, just have growing amounts of middriff fat which is compounded by full time sedentary job, no exercise and a normally massive appetite!

last time i dieted i got really skinny and then got pregnant so hoping it will work like that again!

hello there ladies.

Hope you are all well.

Just did something I haven't done for months - took a pg test.

it was negative - don't worry, I'm sure I'll be here for a good while longer. It was a proper one so I can't kid myself it was too early etc.

basically I need AF to appear so I can have the rest of my tests. I had the most violent cramps on Tues/Wed which made me think uh-oh, here comes the old witch.

My cycle is 27/8, so I was expecting her Tues/Wed/Thurs.

No show.

And I feel sick.

But test was negative and I bought a First Response, which says you can test 4 days before AF due.

I think my body is just taking the piss - when I need AF to appear for the tests, she goes all shy and retiring on me!

know that feeling! i tested today too, even tho i dont feel pg at all and af's due on sun, suppose its habit! whats the next test?

I actually feel a bit pg but then I can feel sick before AF.

Next tests have to be taken on cd2-5 and are for fsh, lh etc.

Just want to get them over and done with.

How are you feeling anyway?

bit pants tbh.

Oh Lissie. Wanna talk about it?

really losing faith/hope/whatever fast. i cried today as i took my test partly coz i was so scared it would be a bfp and partly coz i was scared it would be a bfn. i didnt think it would be this hard and that i would fail so spectacularly. all i want is to have another baby. but im terrified of getting pregnant again,

i know im being selfish, i have one ds, im lucky to have him... but every other day i hear about someone else who's pregnant "by accident" and im so lonely.

sorry, just found out that my cousin is pg 2m after having her dd and wants a termination. coz it "not the right time"

Jeesus H, that's enough to send anyone into a bit of a spin! What a very silly girl. Does she actually have a brain at all? (sorry)

nope. total moron.

shes 33 (4y older than me) and thinks that i need to relax and look at my diet

and smug with it. Only her way the right way, eh?

Sounds like my third sister, who is utterly unbearable at the moment.

oh yes, all you have to do is not think about ttc.

she's vile!

And god, by 33 you'd think she'd either a) know where babies came from or b) be in a position to take responsibility for any that occurred. Having two babies in 11 months isn't the worst thing ever to happen to anyone. In fact it might be rather brill to get over the early babyhood not sleeping thing quicker.

but

Having said that, her decisions are not mine, and they certainly do not assist you in your struggles. Have you had any success with approaching the hospital re IVF at their expense? Is that what you want to do? Don't answer if you don't want to.

we go back to the specialist on monday and i'll be starting clomid then.

But Clomid is to make you ovulate more, no? I didn't think you had any trouble in the ovulation bit? More in the steering them to a safe berth department?

i know. think that since my ep ive been ovulating erratically. 1 month early, another late.... tbh i think they're clutching at straws a bit now!
anyway, how are you?

Quite calm this month. I know there's not a chance I am pregnant and it's strangely stilling. I needed a break.

im not surprised! i dont know how you cope.

I know there are loads of you who have been trying longer than me or have suffer alot more than I have. Its my 9th cycle and I am sick to the back teeth of two week waits and pg friends showing me scan pictures I have seen 4 this week alone. We all go married around the same time and I am the only one not pg!!! they all ttc around 1 to 3 months!!!! A friend text me a picture of her scan and I sat and cried. Even blasted Violet and that emmerdale woman are pg (i know its not RL but seriously!)

I just want one baby, I have become that obsessed that Thursday my DH's friend passed away and I had a positive OPK he did not feel like BDing (I can't blame him) I got really pissed off. I've also been ill this month so Bding has not happened that often really. I cannot believe that I have let myself get this bad.

My doctor does not seem to care!!!!!!!!!

well af came in the night so its back to square one.

I don't think I'll be leaving the hut for a very long time.

god you ladies sound like you're having a shit time - sorry to hear that.

Yes, everyone I know is bloody pg - oh well.

I've sort of got to past caring stage - beyond depression, frustration etc.

But I then I do have ds - otherwise I would be even more of a
raving nut job than I am already.

Hi all huttee's

Duchesse - good to hear that you have had a less-stress month this time.

Lissie - I hope that the clomid does the trick for you, even if they are clutching at straws.

MsLucy - sorry to hear that af arrived for you, hope that taking a break from here helps you.

Babybratt - sorry to hear that you are struggling at the moment. It feels so unfair.

bobbydazzler - hope that the diet works for you!

Scorpio - hows the potty training going!

Well the reason I am here is because I do not know where I should be right now.... Two days ago I got a faint bfp , then yesterday I got a bfn , today I got other faint bfp . OK so after last cycles m/c I am a little nervous and testing before I should as af is not due til tomorrow, so who knows what will happen in the next week?

Hi,
I'm new to this so please bear with me.

Looking for help / anyone who's been in my situation

I have a DD who is 3. She was born by C Section and I lost 4 units of blood.

Have been TTC baby no 2 for just over 2 years with no success.

My temp charts suggest that I ovulate and DH has had sperm test which was fine. Have had Day 21 progesterone tests too - all showed I ovulated.

Am seeing a specialist on Weds.

Each month from around the date I ovulate I get bad period pains which ease off when AF actually arrives?! My periods are also a lot lighter than before i had DD1. From what I've read on internet it seems I could have blooked tubes (can be caused by scar tissue as I lost a lot of blood in C Section).

Does anyone have any experience of this? Or know what symptoms of blocked tubes are?

Any help would be much appreciated
