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.

Hey girls. I'm in the madness time, too. AF due any day, had cramps yesterday, but no show. Naturally, instead of thinking 'you always get cramps for a few days before', I'm thinking 'but these might be different cramps', before repeatedly beating myself round the head with a frying pan.

Had managed to be relatively chilled this month, too, but mainly because we'd done so much BD at the right time I was convinced this month was our month, especially as I've pretending to be so chilled, etc etc.

The silver lining I'm finding to AF's imminent arrival is that I won't be up the duff for a massive property conference I'm going to in Cannes, which practically runs on champagne. Though it's bittersweet: last year I went to the congress and was pregnant, though little did I know it had already died. Might bring back some weird memories.

It's called MIPIM, and mainly comprises fat men in pinstripes drinking champers and ogling the six-foot Russian models promoting unlikely development schemes in outer Siberia. Good fun, but hell on the feet...

Hello 2 week waiters... Am hoping your twinges turn into the real thing.

Permission for a winge... Got my appointment through for referal - is not until mid April. Was hoping it would be mid-end March. I know its only a few weeks different but.... We could go privately but doesn't seem much point to save a few weeks and it would give us another month to try naturally. Had a bit of a silly blub about the fact it came from 'the assisted conception unit'. Am a dafty. It does at least say the first appointment is with a nurse who will then schedule a doctor appointment for 2 months after that and tests will done in that 2 months so hopefully by June all tests will have been done which I suppose isn't too bad ...

Oh and I was having such a deep think and sulk about it all I went to pick dd up and forgot to pay at teh meter for parking and got hit with a £60 fine. Grrrrr. Am a numpty.

Well, CD2 for me. Feel kind of resigned to it all now. Don't know what more I can do. Got EWCM, lots of shagging, regular cycles, yadda yadda... Still, at least I've persuaded DP to test his sperms. Not that I can imagine there's anything wrong with them ? he's got me pregnant three times in two years (all ended in MC) - but until he's got his bits tested, the doc won't let me have my insides investigated to see if it's down to me. Complicated and boring.

herbaceous · 22/02/2008 12:04

Oh, and being driven to distraction by a rash of new

'Please help! I'm not pregnant after three months'
'How do I conceive a girl'
'Should I go for number five?'
etc

Type threads. How I refrain from going in and being excessively rude I just don't know.

Oh and just to let you know, even when you get to an ACU and have been there for 10 years, you can always get shafted, like I did today, when having HEFA required bloods (free to NHS or, self funding(as we are) some arse booked me in privately and I have had to pay £108.28 to have me checked for Hep C and HIV which I know I haven't got. . What started out 10 years ago as a really friendly, but slightly crazy ACU has now turned out to be a cash cow to pay for F**ing Lesley Ash's £5m compensation. Sorry I am so mad. You would die if you knew how much we had spent of treatment and still they take more and more..... Arghhhhhh. Sorry about the rant but I just wish I could have a quick shag in the back of an audi and voila. I was even ask why I didn't have another by a 23 year old today and she didn't even get it when I told her I was 38 it had taken 7 years to have ds and it had probably only taken her 35 secs in bed one night.

Sorry v selfish post but thank god you are here would die without you gorgeously frank people.

I know I am not welcome here anymore but can I just moan about sanctimonious pregnant ladies who do nothing but bitch about lack of symptoms, then bitch they feel ill and then bitch like hell because some women have had MC's and are scaring them as they dont want to have one.

I want to punch them all.
Sorry I make you uncomfortable in your perfect bloody, I got pregnant having had sex once, bubble of selfishness.

Sorry I will leave now.
(If it makes you all feel better I feel crapo but I am not moaning!)

duchesse · 22/02/2008 17:49

ronshar, of course you are welcome! Beansprout and few others from the Hut set up a pregnant after the Hut thread a few months back, that might be worth reviving for the few of you lucky ladies... For those who aren't quite ready to become hopeful yet. It seemed fun.

Hello Ronshar! You're one of the good guys.

I've just had my day 21 progesterone level test back, and it was 71! I believe that's pretty good. My LH and FSH are similarly marv (ie, low) so, where's the farking baby, then?

wheelybug · 22/02/2008 18:05

Hey Soosy - we haven't tried in the back of our audi yet... maybe that would work ...

There has been a rash of 'OMG its taking so long to get pg' threads and when you read them you find out they are on their 3rd month of trying... arrrggghhh. I know it probably feels like it at the time but I really had to stop myself going in and typing TRY TWO YEARS LOVE (and I know there's people here who have been longer).
Bless 'em. Grrr.

Herby, great news on tests - good luck with DH. It took my DH a lllooong time to get his done. Its so frustrating when its probably the only thing he has to do and we're going to have to go through the works...

Hi Ronshar.. hope alls well. How was snowboarding - did you board or sit serenely in the bar ?
