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"

Julezboo - thank you, come pull up a chair beside me here, there are some comfy ones to sit on here. I am 4 weeks now too, so here we go the fun starts.... I have bumped into you on other threads, but do you mind me asking at what stage your m/c's have been? Lets hope this time will be different for us both.

fishie - sorry don't know about barts at all.

rowing - here you are

Hi all,
Rainbow [licks spoon] yum, I needed that! I've got my binge-head on so I have to very cautious about sweeties at the moment, or they will be GONE!

Hoi Rainbow,

Thank you too. All my mc's have been before 7 weeks with the exception of my first which was around 16/16 weeks 10 years ago.

I am on clexane, aspirin and folic acid at the moment and will be starting on progesterone on june 25th after first scan and all is ok.

Feeling really low this morning

bah and meh.

Julez and rainbow have seen your news, I really hope it works out for you both, I'm thinking of you.

Had a bit of a crap few days, went to the GP on Tuesday afternoon to talk to him about a recurrent mc referral but when he heard I hadn't yet fully mc'd he wanted to check my tummy, noticed I was red hot and checked my temp and it was 37.9. Sent me off to gynae who admitted me on iv antibiotics Tuesday evening. Scanned me again today and it was all as before, in right horn of uterus, same size etc so they've released me today and have an erpc booked for tomorrow afternoon.

The good thing is that they're sending off the embryo for testing, lets hope they are able to do the tests.

hi all,

Claire I'm glad you had the attention needed so quickly. Not a lot of fun for you having to stay in hospital, but hopefully, this will resolve the mc and you can move on.
Interesting that they are testing the embryo, I agree any information is helpful.

Hairy - sweetie what is it? You sound a bit like a grumpy sheep. I hope things are improving for you.
Hoooge hug!

Julez and Rainbow have fingers crossed for you. I hope these are sticky embies.

Lia are you about?

So the diet, well what happened there. Was watching my portion sizes, but have been feeling so hungry the past couple of days, and exhausted so haven't been very good. On the other hand, could have eaten a heck of a lot more than I have. So counting small mercies.
Did go for a run today.
Claire I expect you are a bit too tired to be even thinking about dieting.

Rowingboat thank you, I just feel shattered all the time, and am trying not to think of my imposed three month wait to TTC, which will get me down if I do!

Well done on the run!

Clare poor you! I'm glad you got the attention you need, and I wish you well for a speedy recovery!

Why have you got a 3 month wait? For recurrent mc testing?

Hi Claire how are you doing hon?

No, it's because I had a Methotrexate injection - to dissolve the 'retained products' which were 'a pregnancy of unknown location' and causing my BetaHCG to rise slowly, despite having naturally miscarried most of the 'products of conception' and the injection is so toxic you have to wait three months or run the risk of a terribly deformed fetus

Oh gosh how awful for you I hadn't realised, sorry. Is your HCG back down now? When did you have the jab?

Op today, I'm just hoping it goes OK I miscarried naturally with previous pregnancies so never had this done before.

ClaireDL - hope that you get good support today. When I had an erpc, the staff were all excellent. It is good that they are sending for analysis too, it might give answers.

Rowing - well done on the smaller portion sizes, keep up the good work.

hairy - sorry to hear you are feeling so tired , hope that things improve soon for you.

Really sorry to gatecrash tread but have been on an early morning skim and wanted to send hairytraingle my best thoughts and wishes. We met on the Frolickers thread and I've been wondering how you're getting on. I'm not surprised you feel down - what a complete load of crap to happen to you. I really hope it works out for you eventually and you feel better soon.

All the best to the rest of you too - you sound like a lovely bunch of wimmin!

Hi all,

Rainbow thank you for the support. I still have problems with the 'no biscuit memory' where I eat a biscuit, forget I ate a biscuit and eat another biscuit continue ad nauseum (literally)
Have you tested today? Hope your lines are getting stronger.

Claire very best of luck with the op.

Hairy has the HCG level been dropping since the injection. Do you have any plans for the next 3 months?

Aries thank you. I'm not so lovely, but do try.

Still haven't been/can't face the blood test at the clinic. I do know it's a foregone conclusion and for that reason can't be bothered getting up early and paying any more for their rip-off parking also can't face the negative phone call after.
Big baby alert! (me I mean)
Am looking into career options at the moment as a project and it's a busy time of year anyway.
Can't decide between using the last of our own frozen embryos, or going down the donor route. Can't help feeling that the donor route might be more successful. My own eggs have't done so well thus far. Which is disappointing.
I quite fancy starting a business based around something I already do for a small company.

good luck Claire am thinking of you.

HCG has come down to 56 but am being tested again Monday to make sure it's still going down.

I seem to have fallen to peices last night - unconrollable weeping Just feel so sad, and I am putting so much pressure on myself to get back to normal.

Hairy I'm sorry you are feeling down. It is good to cry sometimes and acknowledge how hard things are at the moment. They won't stay like this sweetie.
On the plus side you have three months over Summer to do other things and escape the TTC worries. A nice recharge for you I hope.

Rowing thank you so much. I guess I have just coped and carried on and been strong through all of this, and to let go and wail has helped a bit!

Thing is we hadn't got to the TTC worries bit - been together just less than a year, and been trying not to not get pregnant since Oct and TTC only for a couple of months, so it hasn't yet become a 'chore', you see.

I have a couple trips coming up - a few days abroad next week, then a festival, then another festival in August, so at least I have some fun times to look forward to.

It's just kind of frustrating that I know my body can get pg, so I'm chomping at the bit and my body clock is well and truly on overdrive!

Oh and thank you so much Ariesgirl wave

Oh Hairy sometimes you do just have to weep, you've had a horrible time, like rowingboat says just treat it as a few months to think of yourself, especially as you have nice things planned like the festivals etc.

Rowingboat my diet is out of the window at the moment, in fact I'm sitting here eating an ice lolly! What blood tests are you due? Difficult decisions re your frozen embies v donor, is there a long wait on the donor list?

My op went fine and I'm home now having DP look after me. Very glad to have it over.

Hairy, I'm glad you have stuff to look forward to, it will help really. I find that being super-busy makes the time speed by quite merrily.
It is a pain that you are feeling so 'ready' I do agree.
The best you can do is to get your body super-ready. The Zita West approach involves a good three to six month preparation period before TTC.
Trying to think of something positive for you. [hopeful face]

Claire how did the op go today?
I would say diet shmiet on a day that you have a d&c. You deserve a lolly, hope it's a Magnum quite frankly.

Have been feeling soooo tired, but we went for a walk and I lay on a bench in the park watching the clouds whipping across the sky. Until a punch up broke out amongst the pre-schoolers on the climbing frame...

hello all, sorry so many of you are having a shite time and praying that rainbows and julez get some luck!!

period arrived on weds. next month we will have been ttc for 5y. fucked off. crying at babies at work again and having issues with family, life sucks.

Lissie that sucks, would some gin be an appropriate thing to offer?

LOTGK -I never normally swear but the language coming out of my brain reading your post was impressive! I hate that you are going through all this right now. It is so unfair and hurtful. But I can only do as Claire and offer you a virtual cocktail and hope that you can aneasthatise yourself here.

Hi everyone,

LOTGK I'm so sorry you are feeling that life sucks. It is unfair and hard and cruel sometimes, but you will get through this.
It's just unimaginable at the moment.
[hair stroke and hand hold]

Hi all

Thanks for thoughts of me the other day rowing lissie that is so so crap. I get really angry at hearing stories of abandoned babies, neglected children, really pisses me off. (((()))) for you.

I am on day ??? Dunno, due on next Thursday or saturday depending on stupid mother nature and whether I have 24 day cycle or 26.

Got a bit excitable beg of week due to feeling hungry and no achy boobs, but have stepped back into reality now so just waiting.

I am not even gonna get a cheapie test for sneaky early testing, it's so depressing seeing one line that i can't face it.

Am busy this weekend, got 24 pirate cupcakes to make for a 3rd birthday tomorrow and a chocolate helicopter cake for sunday.

plus ds got his student showcase at his dance school auditions next week so now we have to put up with him searching and playing random songs on You tube, downloading and mixing, and practicing for the next week. He's 6 and lives and breathes dancing.

My porr little dd (3) burnt her mouth badly on cayenne pepper yesterday, have a look at my profil pic, bless her, was slightly hysterical for several hours.

have a good weekend everyone.

aw, thank you all.

im so pissed off that scummy cousin could be up the duff again. im sick of failing every month. and im furious for all the abandoned and damaged children out there. life is so unfair. i saw my gp yesterday and ranted at her about the crappness of it all.
