for those who are having problems getting pg

Lissie - just read your thread. That's so frustrating!!!

Lottie is right - you have to fight/appeal/kick and scream. It will be so unfair if it is down to your family history - that is only a part of your make-up, so can't totally count against you, surely?

Did you call yesterday?

it is, and to give up after so long feels like a huge waste of time and energy.

Lissie - so sorry to hear that you are waiting to find out the decision, it is not fair sometimes how things work but I hope that this is not one of those times, and that the person who is making the decision can really see the full situation, and not base it on unfair judgements. Thinking of you.

Well I have decided to take a month off of conceiving! I think my body needs a break from being pregnant, then not, then pg again... It has been a big relief since I decided this, and I just have to work on keeping my dh away from me now until the danger time has passed. Nature has been nice to me this time, and the miscarriage was relatively easy. I am going to have a glass of wine in a minute and relax further now I have my laptop back from repairs I can give myself a big dose of MN!

Here you are ladies, a box of wine for us all, but just watch out for the chocolate truffles balanced on the top.

OracleInaCoracle · 24/08/2009 17:28

oh rainbows, no wonder you want a break, i totally understand and think it will do you good.

how is everyuone?

Rainbows - a bottle glass of wine sounds just what you need.

DH said last night that he doesn't want to try IVF, assuming we ftc between now and the end of the year (which is when they will refer us). I think he actually meant he wants a break from the fertility drugs and procedures. I pointed out to him that there would be a waiting list on the NHS for ivf anyway, so we might as well do the 2 free NHS goes and see where we go from there.

Lissie - any news?

OracleInaCoracle · 25/08/2009 18:56

heebeejeebee, i understand your dhs reservations, its a tough decision to have to make. but i agree, the waiting list is long, you may as well give it a go. hope it wont come to that though.

still no news from clinic would be nice to know before our first appointment.

Heebee - sorry to hear that your dh is rethinking options, hopefully he will come around to the idea soon for you.

Lizzie - is there still no news from the clinics decision?

Shreks - sorry to hear you down about f/ttc, I hope you got hold of some european chocolate, if not I have brought here a barrel full of it.

Well my plans for the month off of losing some weight have gone out the window, I have been pigging out as much as usual and no weight loss is miraculously occuring. I am currently ovulating again and obviously re-thinking the month off idea! I know I need to take a month off, but hey, what is logical about any of this stuff.

I also have a problem with the abbriviations ttc or ftc, I seem to have no problem with the concieving part, it is the staying pregnant part that my body doesnt seem to be able to do at the moment, so I am not ttc or ftc, but failing to have a successful pregnancy, what abbriviation could I have for that!!!!!

Anyway I hope people are having a better day than me.

OracleInaCoracle · 27/08/2009 16:57

rainbows, every month i say "no more" every month i give in. I use ftc, as i too fail to carry.

clinic has said no.
because of recurrent mc.
am in shock.

on plus side have you seen duchesses thread?

OP posts:
Heebeejeebee · 28/08/2009 15:39

Lissie - I'm so sorry. I just saw your other thread too. It seems astonishing that they refuse your eggs over a problem that is more implantation. Can you appeal?

Rainbow - I have failed on the couple of occaisions we tried to take a month off. I would have to throw my blooming CB monitor out of the window (for all the use its done me)

shreks, no, dont think so. i understand why they have said no, and think at some point we just have to square our shoulders and accept what we've got.
