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

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"

Hi all,
Rainbow I can't believe the crapness of some doctors. They don't have time to do their jobs properly and it's partially the NHS treating fertility problems as trivial.
I persuaded a GP to supply me with progesterone after my first IVF. It didn't work, but they can do it they want to.
Could you go private, just to get the prescripion.

Yes please Seaside to the strawberries! Yum.
I think this is the very place to be when you are feeling down. I feel quite a home myself.

Clair did you do any dieting today?
I won't bore you with the details, but I have been watching the portion sizes and being a bit more aware of what I eat.
Half the problem is that I have no biscuit memory and forget that I have already had a biscuit and have another one.

Hello, can I come in and be gl/doomy for a littl while?

have to wait to TTC due to medical managmeent of miscarriage so feeling a bit gloomy tonight.

Hi everyone,

Hairy, I'm here and Rainbow having a nice break from being all shiny and positive.
Would you like some nibbles or a glass of something?

Claire did you make a start on the diet thing at all? I have been a bit more concious of what I am eating, trying to make more 'sensible' choices. Ruined by 'other' mum and dad taking us for lunch and cake. ulp!

hairy - come in and take a seat, just mind out for the one i broke last week! What can we do to help you? once the next few days are over, I think would be a good time for you to go do all the things that we put on hold while ttc.... alcohol, pate, blue cheese,,,,,, just take your pick. In the meantime here is a bottle of our best hut white wine and the bowl of chocolate icecream. Now just rant away we are here to listen.

Rowing - tut tut on you breaking your diet before you have really started it, that will make you feel guilty, if not shall I!

Claire - how are you?

Queenie - what are you up to?

hello all. am truly fucked off. the girl who used to live next door to us is 17. i saw her today with her 2 kids and heavily upduffed again. meanwhile I have been crying at work about seeing a tiny baby. im so sick of being barren. im sick of having a shit womb. and im sick of being bitter.

rainbows, am appalled on your behalf.

fucking doctors.

Rainbowdays thank you (that made me chuckle) stuffs face full of blue cheese, more blue cheese and even more blue cheese followed by a large bowl of chockie ice cream

(((((TheLady)))))

LOTGK oh no, what a horrible day. Poor you, it is horrible and frustrating not being able to just pop out a kid whenever you feel like it.
[huge hug]

Rainbow, I fixed the chair, but couldn't glue the vases back together.
It's not that kind of diet, the kind where you can't go for lunch with your parents I mean.
I rationalised the lunch because we don't see those parents very often and they were paying, I mean they would be offended wouldn't they.

Claire are you there?

Hairy how are you feeling sweetie?

So I'm testing tomorrow and fully expect it to be negative. Not very cross about it, just blaaaah. I find it very difficult to believe I will ever be pg again.

Hi RB I feel fine, in fact, no symptoms or effects apart from a little bit of stabbing sensation very rarely in my tummy. so maybe it's working (fingers crossed!)

LOTGK - it is truely unfair, you so do not need the site of babies and pregnant girls at the moment. It makes me upset to see women like you suffer the injustice of infertility and negligent doctors. I truely hope that you get your miracle, and the doctors who actually know how to help you soon. But in the meantime, I am glad that you have this space to come to, so that you can let us share your pain.

hairy - so glad that it is going ok physically.

rowing - it seems that you have taken this time very nonchalantly (and yes I did have to check the spelling!!!!) this time. I find it strange how some months I get really worked up, and others it is, well that went as expected. At least with the blood test on friday you will know either way.

I have to say that I am surprisingly calm myself considering it is the hormonal 2ww for me. I think all my frustration was aimed at the junior stupid doctor on monday!

Hi everyone,
so my ivf frozen embryos don't seem to have 'taken' got bfn this morning and now AF has arrived.
So that seems to be that. I still have a blood test to be done, but I'm fairly sure that I know what the result will be.
Feeling quite flat, after feeling positive today about losing weight and getting fitter before next time.
Now I am telling people it feels sad.
Luckily I am off for a lovely weekend with DS and friends and no internet so will be able to distract myself.
Big sigh.

rowingboat that's shit, I'm sorry

Yeah rubbish!
Off to watch 'The Good Wife' [thinks] at least I don't have an electronically tagged, philandering husband loafing around on the sofa.

Take care. And enjoy your weekend.

Rowingboat sending you loads of sympathy I was so sorry to read that hope you at least have a good weekend and the sun shines for you.

Just need to have a very self indulgent rant/rave/wail/cry/moan

Fcking Fucking body why oh why can't you just be normal?

Have just had to go through the indignity of having a speculum exam whilst bleeding heavily, been sent home as nothing to worry about they think Mexo poison is working, have got more co-codamol.

My stomach looks like I'm four months preggers, I would have been at week 10 ish had I not miscarried/retained products/gushed with blood for the last 17 days

Truly fed up now.

Hairy - So sorry you are going through this. It is so horrible, I think that m/c can really make us feel like our bodies are useless. I really hope things start turnign around for you soon.

bloody hell, I now have some more pain - intermittent - more like trappe wind than period pain - an it hurts to pass win or move my bowels

Hi everyone,

How are you all getting on?

Hairy poor you, it is really dragging on. I hope today things have improved. When do you have a review to see if the drugs you took last week have worked?

LOTGK thank you for the hairstroke, always nice. How are things this week?

Claire are you still around?

Rainbow I saw your news on the forties thread. I hope this all goes well for you. How are you feeling?

I'm kind of keeping my head down at the moment. Trying to organise more treatment and feeling a bit sad about things.
Don't really feel like hanging out on a 'regular' TTC thread for now.
I have been encouraged by others to have level 1 immune tests done by my GP. Not sure if they will charge, but might make an appointment next week.
Still have to have a blood test, but can't really be bothered to go to the clinic for what is obviously, a failed procedure.

rowing - sorry to hear you are still feeling a bit sad. I hope that planning the next treatment will help you refocus again. I think that the immune tests would be a good idea, hope the gp does them for you.

hairy - hows the pain?

LOTGK - have you found your period yet? or is it still awol?

I am getting faint positives still, if they don't get darker in the next couple of days I guess I should stop my progesterone and let things end?

Hi everyone,

Rainbow what a pain that is, to not know what is going on like that. I hope the positive does increase soon. Could you go to your GP for a test, a blood test might be more conclusive.

I have made a start on the next frozen transfer, probably for July. Probably a waste of time, but they are our embryos and we can't just leave them in a freezer, even if they don't stand a chance of becoming babies.

Hairy how are you getting on? Any progress?

LOTGK are you OK?

Feeling completely pooped at the moment on CD7. Does anyone else feel knackered through the first half of their cycle?

Rainbow - just wanted to pop on and offer a hand holding. I just had a positive test on tues, I am roughly 4 weeks, also had 7 mc's. Keeping everything crossed.

waves to queenie

hey to all of you.

i have a consultant apt next week.
barts. is that a nice place?

Hi all,
sorry Fishie, I have heard of Bart's, but no first hand experience.
