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.

Lissie!! Are you pregnant? What are you doing just resuming normal conversation on here without declaring - you fiend!

My very very very good wishes for this one - hope it goes all the way and does exactly what it's supposed to.

lissie · 22/06/2007 07:20

i am, but in keeping with the hut motto i am not getting excited. still far to early for me to be positive iykwim. how are you?

rainbowdays · 22/06/2007 08:43

he he he - the mystery continues, and yes I have been here before.... ha ha ha < evil laugh>, have you not worked me out yet..... he he he,

Well I am back here as I anxiously await news, I am swinging between thinking that I will be out of here quick smart because I will be too later, or alternatively I will be coming back here with my real name and being a suitable candidate to have a good old moan at how our bodies can be so rotten to give us false hope.... oh well will know soon. By keeping my identity hidden I can let you feel the angst of not knowing with me

lissie · 22/06/2007 08:54

good luck for today. i really really hope that you get some good news.

Impatience · 22/06/2007 10:24

Lissie, I just want to repeat exactly what I said before: Congratulations! (Because you are pregnant right now, and that brings hope that you will have a baby.) And my very best wishes that it works out fine.

It's a shame your excitement is so tempered by your past experiences. Ooooh, fingers crossed so tight this one's in the right place and hangs on in for the duration. xxxxxxx

Rainbowdays, oh mysterious one, what's your story? (I NEVER go on the other threads so have no idea!)

good luck all xxxx

rainbowdays · 22/06/2007 11:21

I can finally unmask and run.... I am mum03 now mum-of-3 as I got the blood tests and it confirms I am pg.... , now I will run and hide and take this unseemly happiness with me, hope you come running with me too Lissie!

Impatience · 22/06/2007 12:38

Fantastic news - brilliant!

this doesn't mean you're never allowed to speak to us again

All the best, and well done xxxxx

lissie · 22/06/2007 14:02

Chocolatedays · 22/06/2007 18:03

Hi all - can't be bothered to catch up at the mo

Just to say hi and the IVF didn't work - not really a surprise - we did our grieving a week ago really.
I'm knackered and may leave ttc alone for a bit.... will come back to mn when I'm ready -
GOOD LUCK all of you - hope I have to search the ante natal threads to find you when I return
Cxx

lissie · 22/06/2007 18:11

im sorry will miss you, but understand x

Janus · 22/06/2007 19:12

Chocolatedays, I'm so sorry the IVF didn't work and only hope that you are coping and one day may feel ready to try again.
Lissie, bloody, buggery, hell, how the hell are you pregnant so quick???!! Didn't you just have your hsg a matter of days ago??! Big fat congratulations and hope to god it sticks for you, everything crossed (except maybe my legs with this bloody ttc lark !) I'm so chuffed for you.

lissie · 22/06/2007 19:13

had my hsg on the mon and ov'd on the weds. 4d early

Impatience · 23/06/2007 10:40

Sorry to hear that Chocolatedays. Big hugs, and I hope you get to enjoy some time not TTC - blimey, you might even forget about it and have some fun! xxx

BabyBratt · 23/06/2007 12:13

Sorry guys but this is where I have been told I can come to get everything off my chest.

I am so annoyed. I decided to tell my business partner about TTC. She is one of these people who TTC for one month and fell pregnant . Anyway she had the cheek to say to me that I have not fallen pregnant because I must not really want it and that me and DH must not be in the right place.

I would love nothing more than being pg, how dare she say those awful things. She has no idea how it feels to wait for youe ovulation and then spend 2 weeks hoping that every twing is a sign you are pregnant only for AF to turn up like a stake through your heart.

To add to this because our shop was robbed my DH has decided that we might need to stop ttc for a few months until the shop is on its feet and with my Business Partner being pregnant now we can't both be at the same time. Im really really gutted .

I know there are people worse off than me but in my own little world at the moment this feels like the worst week ever. I've not even managed to have one baby yet. I've spent most of my life worrying about getting pregnant but no one ever tells you it is this hard to conceive when you actually want one.

Im really fighting to stay positive.

duchesse · 23/06/2007 15:18

Babybratt, don't fight, join us. There really is no need to be positive- it's not going to make conception more likely. Come in here and have virtual drugs and alcohol and shoulders to lean on. That's what the Hut's for. No chirpiness, no babydust, and guaranteed no shitty smug comments like your boss'.

BabyBratt, your business partner is a tit. She is either incredibly insensitive, or very mean, or ridiculously stupid, or any combination of the above. Silly cow.

You absolutely know she's not right, don't you?

Sorry to hear your shop was robbed, and sorry to hear that you might have to put on hold something you really want, especially because of the double whammy of the burglary and someone you have to see everyday getting their big bump and then baby. How shit.

Pull up a pew in here. You're in the right place. TTC and failing is horrible, and we all take turns to pat eachother's arms and hold eachother up. We understand how you feel.

xx

lissie · 23/06/2007 16:08

babybratt, how fcking dare* she!

pull up a pew, have a moan. we're all here for you

BabyBratt · 24/06/2007 13:08

Thanks guys

I did not even know this thread was around until I saw Scorpio mention it in another thread.

It is nice to have a place where you can have a little moan.

Everyone always seemed so positive I thought there must be something wrong with me.

My business partner leads a charmed life and it did not surprise me that it only took her a month of ttc. It was only the end of last year that she was talking about leaving her DH but now he has bought her a new house and earns alot of money they act like the perfect couple. How bitchy am I!!!!

I've been ttc for 8 months now, I feel like it will never happen. Im going to book in with the docs. Guess I just need to bite the bullet.

Impatience · 24/06/2007 17:44

Ah well, there you go BB: business partner may conceive quickly but is trapped in a loveless relationship.

LatenightOwl · 24/06/2007 22:11

Dear Chocolatedays
so sorry to hear about the BFN. Take some time off and rest. I took 2 months off from my failed IVF and only just thinking of possibly doing my next cycle in August. It is difficult I know but when you are ready, come back to the hut and we will be here to support you.
take care LNO.

Nelli30 · 25/06/2007 12:24

Hi there everyone. I just wanted to say that I completely , totally and utterely belong in the hut. I am the most miserable I think I have ever been and I don't know how to pull myself out of it. The strain of ttc is affecting my relationship with my husband, we are argueing all the time. I just feel like its all so pointless, like its never going to happen and I just can't imagine how on earth I will cope if it doesn't. How can I even begin to accept a childless life, what is the point. How unfair it is that everyone around me seems to be able to do what I can't and take it all for granted! I feel like my body is a failure and I just can't keep myself positive about it all. I'm worried that my relationship isn't strong enough. My husband keeps telling me I need to forget about it and relax, but how can I when its everywhere, at work, on the TV , feels like everyday its pushed in my face. Our situation is complicated by my husband having a child from a previous marriage. She 8, I have known her for 4 years and our relationship is good, but I get so very distressed when in their company as they are so very close and I ache everyday for that, for us to have our own little person to look after. I just can't bear it. I know I am not the only one and I know in many ways I am so very lucky, but I just can't seem to get a handle on this. I never for 1 minute thought it would be this hard. We been through IVF which failed and am probably going again in Sept time. Part of me can't wait as it another 'chance' the other part is dreading the disappointment as at the moment I just can't see it working. I'm afraid I am wallowing in self pity, I just don't understand why this is happening to me, to us, all of us. I don't get it and I don't know how to make things better. I find it all so hard.
Sorry to be so very down. I know you all understand but this post might be a bit much even for the hut!!
