The Hut of Gl/Doom... Please don't ask about our reproductive plans as a smack round the head with TCOYF often offends

[OracleInaCoracle]

new thread.

for those who are having problems getting pg

or staying pg

or are simply fed up of being told to relax and having to smile and say "you never know"

Ah seaside, hello, and hello tortie. There really is nothing rational about it whatsoever. It doesn't get any easier if it's no 2, 3 or n that you're ftc. In fact in many respects it's worse because there are different sets of pressures bearing on you, including the guilt about not being able to "supply" a sibling.

Anyway, you guys need a theme. Lissie's not coming into the Hut any more, and she often did the deco, so it's up to you now how to deck it out.

tortie- sorry to hear about your MC. They really stink.

tortie- if it's any hope for you, although it's not in the Hut's ethos to foist hope on people, I had two pregnancies in 6 years of ttc/ftc. First one was a MC, second was DD3.

Hi girls..

Can I check back in ? Am about to start ttc'ing again...Had my last mc in October and its taken til xmas to even get my head staright..this last one I think has been the worst ever...I started back on my prenatal vitamins a month ago, and we think we will start trying very soon..not sure if this month or next ..
It doesnt help that my bff started trying this weekend..although she deserves another baby - shes such a wonderful mum....

But does anyone else feel totally bloody surrounded by babies and pregnant women ?/

hi everyone - have come to wallow AF has arrived AGAIN - ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh why do I so stupidly get my hopes up every month, even after the first day I still have those stupid thoughts that I could still get a BFP. I am actually on holiday and it should be idyllic and yet I am nursing stupid shattered daydreams which I had cultivated about getting a BFP here and going home all smug and happy - haha - serves me right.

Durtz - so sorry about your mc - and yes I also appear to be surrounded by pg and babies in RL and am starting to do that really obsessive thing where I find myself staring at every woman of child bearing age and wondering if they are pg?? Insane and wrong I know I am just waiting for my BF to tell me she is pg again even though "not trying".

tortie - aka mummy2olivia - Of course I remember you I am so sorry you are still TTC with your DH, it's sh*te. I wish I could just know why it does not happen each month when everything else apparently seems to be right? And I don't buy all this crap about being relaxed - I mean women get pg all over the world in terrible/stressful circumstances every day.

internet connection dying so hoping this posts OK. I am leaving a big jug of mojitos and a giant chocolate cake.

Bump and hello everyone! I'm so relieved that I didn't kill the thread.

Nice to meet you all. Sorry to hear all your sad stories. Mine is in a similar vein. I have DD (took about 18 months). Have been trying for no. 2 for 2 years and have had 1 m/c, a year ago nearly to the day. I am sick of reading TCOYF and it's now being used to prop up a table leg! I'll check back when I've more time to whinge .

Margarita is my cocktail of choice, so I'll buy in a round and place down my handbag on the dance floor so we can all have a boogie.

too depressed for even the hut.

its lissie btw.

Oh darling (can't quite use your new name yet, sorry). Has he gone now?

he has been put back again. they reckon it'll be a year. nothing is going right for us. everyone else is having babies. my scummy cousin stands trial this month and a woman/girl who was pg at the same time i was with ds, has had another since and is up the spout again with a new bf. i should be 20w pg now and its 3y since my ep. we've lost so much and i hate my wretched body

(Sorry I am not allowed here as too happy) Rainbowdays - popping in with some home-made sloe gin, crate of wine and a bumper box of chocs.....

really, really struggling and this is the only place i can really let rip. had nephews 5th birthday party today and every child had a younger sibling. its 3 years on monday since my ep. i really wanted to stop ttc and i cant. ive been on the verge of tears all day and have a headache now from trying not to cry. we have been ttc for 4.5 years. why is it so fucking hard?

am just feeling v sorry for myself, add to that that I am recovering (with a small r) from a D&V virus that has been so bad Ive lost 2 dress sizes since monday and dh and i arent getting on terribly well.

no, no, stay!

how are you? whens your next scan? how was the last one?

Don't want to be the bringer of smiles. But since you asked, this is the situation: had scan monday 1st feb, showed fetal pole but no growth since a week previously, no heartbeat, and measuring at 6 weeks when I was 8w2d. Another scan two days later, no change. Two days later on 8weeks6days, went for another scan, this time it had grown and developed a little beating heart!!!!!!!
So quitely hopeful that progesterone and acupuncture have done the trick for me and held onto this little one. I am calm and relaxed and very hopeful for this one. I wish I could transfer some of that hope to you. Really hope you feel better soon too.

oooooooooooo wish i could persuade my cons to try progesterone. he seems convinced on heparin

Asprin did nothing for me.... ! Forget the heparin, demand progesterone, it can't hurt and might do some good is what I have been told. Your GP should be able to prescribe it for you. It is very expensive that is why they don;t like prescribing it. I am having to pay a fortune for it. But if the problem with me, is aged hormones, as I have suspected all along for myself, then I am not going to fight the costs of it. I am feeling so much more confident this time.

How are you feeling today?

Can I sneak in here?

I just found this after looking for somewhere to put my miserable face.

I am desperately sad tonight. I know Lissie kinda knows my story already but for those that dont

late mc
DS1 born 31 weeks - i had a stroke, both survived luckily
mc
mc
mc
mc
DS2 - heparin and aspirin
mc
mc

I had tests just before I fell pregnant with DS2, basic ones I think and since my most recent mc over xmas just gone I have been referred to the new recurrent mc centre at cardii uni hospital. Cons mentioned progesterone.

I am desperately longing for another tiny squishy baby

thanks for the advice rainbows, tbh we are going to leave the cons for a while, am getting increasingly frustrated, but still think that the problem is GBS because my temp rises so significantly before i mc.

hi julez, sorry (but good) to see you here. welcome to the hut. its a place to rant and cry about ftc and not have to put up with people moaning about "ttc for 2m and its not happening"

AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

I have shagged like a sodding whore this ,month and period STILL arrives!!!

mine too. 5 fecking days early!

bloody hell

Dunno if you will know, but why have all anniemacs messages vanished??

Do you know if she had her baby?

she was "outed" in a DM article a while back and felt that her privacy had been compromised. but she is fine and has had a lovely baby girl!
