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

[duchesse]

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.

if it feels right to you, then it is right!

Hi annie, nobody really mentioned it to me for years, even though we were having ivf, (male problem) and then a new consultant told me this may be a problem, as I always produce enormous numbers of eggs with v little hormone during ivf. I also spoke to the consultant who delivered DS (10th attempt) who said that he did some studies on polycystic ovaries and sometimes the progesterone levels did not indicate a problem and that there may be another thing going on hormonally.

I have also done clomid and have to say that is more vile than doing IVF, in my opinion. Acupuncture & IVF did it for me in the end and at the hammersmith hospital they are now offering it immediately before and after transfers as part of regular treatment. Good luck annie and I know it sounds c*p and trite, but don't give up. Sx

Morning ladies, great news that everyone is getting themselves into goo hands so to speak - about time the NHS started treating us well!?!

Had a depressing night last night cos DH sperm came back sluggish and deformed poor thing - I am also concerned that he did the deed at home and had to cycle it to the hozzy in his cycling horts pocket to get it there in time to catch the van going to the labs - too much time between delivery and test and also must have had a good bone shaker on the ride over...(pops is grasping at straws )

anyhoo with my 35-48 day cycles and those non swimmers I am AMAZED we mamanged it the first time round even if it did MC?

anniemac I hopei get good treatment like you - 8 days to go til see big dr at hozzy - am worried am hoping to get too much from it...

Hope you are all having a good saturday - I just had poached eggs YUUUUUUUUUM

Knock knock. (Ronshar waits patiently for permission to enter).

It sounds like it has been a good week for the NHS in the hut.
Sorry Duchesse I had to come back to say hello. I miss you all.

Popsy, crap news about the swimmers. How has DH taken the news? Not too badly I hope. you will need to get some ice packs and extra baggy pants for him. Less bike riding for him too. All adds up to hot swimmers!!
Nothing to report here. All boring. At least I have managed to get my DH to buy me some new bras.

Hey ronny ooh new bras lucky you - have you been getting all Moll Flanders on us? Mine seem to be painful all the time these days - keep hoping is a very belated puberty but I'm still in the bee sting camp unfortunately

We have decided that the only way to cope with situ is to ignore it all and get on with life as much as poss and if the swimmers are feeling a bit kronky then we'll just have to give them more oportunity to work their magic

I am in an ashamedly better frame of mind today cos found a job i would LOVE to do near me and paying enough to stop me fretting about giving up highlights and lip glosses ...(pops dashes off to fathom a super new cv to encourage new job people to hire her and thus end up in thatched cottage in Cambridgeshire with either babies or chocolae lab puppies depending on wombs ability to get and keep one at some point in next decade)

hello..

I know emoticons aren't allowed but surely we're allowed one small .

Thinking of you lissie and praying for the 71% !!!

Hello everyone else. Nothing to report here - AF looming but as we had a break this month in view of impending skiing I shouldn't be surprised (but we did do the deed about 5 days before OV so of course part of me is still desperately hoping .. sigh....)

ALso meant to add we've had confirmation that we are definitely being referred so now just waiting for appointment - which i should hear in next 4 weeks .... the wait continues...

thats good, which clinic?

(and thank you x)

Its part of Kingston hospital - St Marys Roehampton - tis for FTC rather than recurrent m/c (as I've only had 1 which appears to have buggered up my previous easy conceiving).

I've had a couple of friends go there - both IVFers who have had great success (obviously hoping it doesn't come to that but good to know anyway !).

absolutely. its always good to be well-informed!

Congratulations Lissie

thank you, how are you doing?

ps, can i stay here for a bit please? soooooo not ready to leave!

I'm ok. Got a bfn this morning but only cd26. I'm so impatient. I am glad though that I've had no breakthrough bleeding this month, it feels like an ordinary cycle iyswim. 71% is good enough odds I reckon, so fingers crossed that this one is a sticker

oh ll any news on the thyroid issue?

I meant a sticker for you

Thyroid wise I am on 75mcg daily. My TSH is within range but higher than ideal for conception purposes - hence the recent increase. Feeling much better - more alert, able to concentrate better etc. The hospital lost my Prolactin bloods so I have to get this done again. Also I am still waiting for Thyroid anti-bodies results.

thats great news! everything crossed for you. x

right, must go, dh is home and cooking dinner so had best be dutiful for an hour.

Hey Lissielou - do hope this is a goer / stayer / sticker. Positive emanations....
MONTHS & months since I was on mn. Been very busy. At work, not being pregnant, sadly. Getting used to life in the, 'No, I don't have children, sadly. No, it wasn't a choice. No, it's ok.'- Gang.
Duchesse, are you still around?

oh soreheart, whats new?

and thank you. im staying put for a while tho, as long as noone minds?

congrats lissie such fab news - have eyes ears and nose crossed for you (hmmm a bit uncomfortable...)

ll- as a matter of interest, how high was your TSH? doc here refusing to treat me as not outside "normal" range...
