The Hut of Gl/Doom Part V- for the unapologetically despondent

The new hut. Ta-da!

This one is a snug little basement World War 2 type nightclub, with dim lighting, snug velvet sofas, red walls and certainly no politically correct smoking bans. Occasionally certain selected men may be admitted at our convenience.

Sit down, make yourselves at home, and never, ever apologise for feeling like shit. That's about it.

Sorry Poppy. Crossed post. We all know exactly what you mean. It is so very hard.

My (younger) sis is pregnant with her third, conceived first try. No miscarriages (unlike me, who has had four. And no children). She's being very good, not going on about her pregnancy, etc, and I've tried to be enthusiastic. She's just texted me from her 20-week scan. It's a girl. Just like my last, miscarried, baby. I feel very sad.

Hi ladies...oooh feels like coming home reading your messages... Just back from snowboarding trip that we put off last year cos was PG (hah!) - was relieved not to be this time cos fell over alot which can't be good for beanie babies (?!?) - loads of snow and nice quiet times with DH - totally jet lagged now though - am seeing double!

everything you are all writing I AGREEEEE with!

Is exactly 1 year since BFP howl howl

I too watch all my friends and obsess over my sisters...such is life for us MCers eh?

Last cycle was 48 days!!!!!! what the fck am I supposed to do with that - they are so irregular we'd have to be at it every bl*dy day in order to make sure we get it right hmmmmm waiting for referral then I am going to cry my eyesout till they give me some clomid

happy new year to you all - here's to us all getting some good news!

perkypopsy · 08/01/2008 18:13

p.s. need to change name now new year - trying to sounds all positive but realise sounds a bit porn star-ish

ladylush · 08/01/2008 18:21

Personally I think it's a great name

Hello fellow hut dwellers

No idea what cycle day I am on. Since getting hypothyroidism diagnosed and being started on Thyroxine my periods have gone loopy. Did not ovulate last month - I know this cos I got my 'period' 14 days after the previous one. Now getting what may be another fake period only 19 days after the last episode of bleeding. Have no idea what is going on

becaroo · 08/01/2008 18:22

Herbaceous...so very sorry you are having such a hard time.

My ds's first day at school yesterday and I should have been 10 weeks pg.

Feeling very low today, sure I am not pg this month.

ladylush · 08/01/2008 18:40

I'm sorry too herby Mine would've been due next week (5 days before my birthday). I think my birthday is cursed. I lost two babies just before my birthday and one that was due just before. My husband's dad died at 51 yrs (when dh was only 21)on the night before my birthday and his granny died on my birthday.

hi hut dwellers. af is due tomorrow and im too scared to test. its strange which dates stick in your mind isn't it? my ep bean was concieved exactly a year ago today.

soosy · 08/01/2008 20:54

Hedgepig I have abandoned the smiling and laughing technique and perfected the, 'it took seven years to have this one, so it might take awhile', preferably through gritted teeth.

About holidays etc just book them and have fun after spending seven years to conceive my first child the only thing I learnt is don't put it off. You can always cancel the holiday at the last minute and its only money....

soosy · 08/01/2008 20:56

sorry missed a whole page of posts so I am a bit behind.... Nothing new in the pg stakes.

ronshar · 09/01/2008 12:58

7th Jan was when my life changed for the worse. I concieved my 3rd baby on that day. It started off as a fantastic time and very quickly turned into a nightmare.
I am sending out love to Lissie, Popps, Ellie, Nh101, and everyone else who helped me get through the nightmare time following the Mc last March. Thank you so very much to everyone who comes on to this thread and gives a shoulder to cry on.

ladylush · 09/01/2008 15:13

hugs for ronshar - always difficult reaching that awful anniversary

viksam · 09/01/2008 18:02

My lap and dye was cancelled today also my SIL had a baby girl today. My brother is over the moon, he already has two boys. I hoped i would give my mom and dad there first grandaughter but he beat me to that too. Hhhhhhhhuuuuuuuufffffffffff........
suppose i have to go and see the baby at the weekend, i do want to see the baby but dont want to see the family, does that make sense??

OracleInaCoracle · 09/01/2008 18:14

totally. x

perkypopsy · 09/01/2008 20:34

Hey ronny sounds like we had the same anniversary this week - you are much better at dating than me - what with my 35-48 day cycles it's anyones guess
though am sure was between 5th and 7th as that is when the cramps started.

Good news is a fellow MC friend from work told me I had to prepare my face (our code for here comes a PG announcement that you need to pretend you are happy about) and AMAZINGLY I was happy for her - genuinely with no sneaky jealous thoughts at all
Hooray maybe I can be a nice person after all????? (pops grasps at straws here)
She took clomid again this time...and again worked first time (after an MC then 2 years of trying to get PG after that)...pops dashes off to the internet to beg for early appointment for drugs

ronshar · 10/01/2008 14:03

Excellent Pops. I am really pleased somebody here is nice.. Have you looked for a local clinic? Maybe your Gp may be able to help with info about the best local fertility clinics.

ladylush · 10/01/2008 14:11

I was told by my GP that I would not get assistance with conception until I had been trying for a year - even though I will be 36 in a week's time.

herbaceous · 10/01/2008 14:12

Mercifully I can't remember when Buster was conceived, but found out about the pregnancy 4 Feb, and had the scan when she'd died on 21 March. It feels an important anniversary, as if I don't get up the duff this cycle it will be a year since I last did. And I'll be even further away from ever having a baby. Perhaps I should then give up. Four miscarriages must be a sign...

ronshar · 10/01/2008 14:24

No, Herb it is a sign of someone who really wants to be a mother and will be an excellent one because she doesnt give up.

ladylush · 10/01/2008 14:27

I second that. Herby

becaroo · 10/01/2008 14:35

Herby...I knew someone who sufferd over 10 mc and went on to have 2 dc.

No such things as signs.....just bloody rotten luck.

herbaceous · 10/01/2008 14:42

Thanks girls. You're all so great. That March MC thread was a lifesaver, and we all deserve better luck.

Maybe I'll breed kittens instead. Mmmm. Kittens.
