for those who are having problems getting pg

WorzselMummage · 10/06/2009 11:28

It's the hard part isnt it.

congrats scorpio

I'm good thanks Lissie, relieved my exams are over but getting a bit down about this whole conception business. I know we've only been trying for six months but I have a horrible feeling it's just not going to happen. Got my period on Saturday and I was so upset, could have done with camping out in the hut with you guys for a while.

Anyhow, DH is going to the docs tomorrow about a lump on his leg and I'm going to try to persuade him to ask the doc for tests at the same time - because he had a tortion on his testicle when he was younger there is a possibility that it damaged something down there and if that's the case I think I'd rather know now than later on IYSWIM.

Sorry everyone else for butting in again.

OracleInaCoracle · 10/06/2009 11:45

PL, sounds sensible. is your gp sympathetic? ps, you are always welcome in the hut.

Lissie

Hello Scorpio and Worzel - not seen you for ages.

Tigresswoods · 10/06/2009 18:12

I have been asked twice today when I will be having children. Think I might just stop going out and speaking to people.

Anniemac - sorry to hear you have a uti to deal with now too. remember to drink loads of cranberry juice..... (yukky though it is!)

Lissie - I have cheekily asked to be a friend on fb!!!! I know the message was not for me, but since I was on there anyway I did!

WorzselMummage · 10/06/2009 19:15

can i add you to my facebook ?

when you said "mountin dwelling family" my brain scremed YETIS.

WorzselMummage · 10/06/2009 19:19

Annie sorry to hear you have a UTI too, they are horrible.

Are you nearly 7 weeks now ?

OracleInaCoracle · 10/06/2009 19:20

lol anyone can add me!! its nice to be wanted

OP posts:
WorzselMummage · 10/06/2009 19:22

Oddly i cant find you

I didn't put Lissie Yeti either !

rainbowdays · 10/06/2009 19:39

worzel - I found her quite quickly, she looks just like I imagined she would. There is only one of her on fb but perhaps you were thinking of a different mountain family....?????

Sorry I am in a positive frame of mind at the moment. That although logically I know it is only a matter of time before the docs can say I told you so, until then, I am pg and will allow myself to dream of the impossible and live like things will be ok. when the inevitable happens then I will deal with the emotional fallout, but not til then.

OracleInaCoracle · 10/06/2009 20:01

worzel, im from the west midlands. am also on the mumsnet fb page.

rainbow, theres nothing wrong with hoping. sometimes its all you can do!

OP posts:
LilRedWG · 10/06/2009 21:03

I'm one of Lissie's friends on FB and my initials are CVT - feel free to add me.

rainbowdays · 10/06/2009 21:06

Lissie - thank you, hoping is all I can do right now. I have an extra piece of hope for you too.

I just went to my bookshelf to find a trashy novel to distract myself, and found a book I had forgotten was there but has an excellent title that fits just where I am at presently it is called "Pain is inevitable but misery is optional: so, Stick a Geranium in your hat and Be Happy". So that is where I am at!!!

OracleInaCoracle · 10/06/2009 22:57

lol red.

rainbow, good title!

i definately feel pg, all the signs are there, but the waiting drives me insane. and i hate the knowledge that even if when i get a proper bfp i can't really relax.

Scorps · 11/06/2009 19:47
