Hut of Gl/Doom, lost count of the number coz its been so long - optimists need not apply!

[OracleInaCoracle]

Couldn't find the hut but in dire need of a hideout away from all those "its been 2 months" and "am I pregnant" threads.

For those of us who've been burnt by ttc, can't get pregnant, can't stay pregnant or are sick of hearing the "just relax" refrain.

Leave your hope at the door and grab a gin, we are back in the speakeasy with meths on tap!

he knows that I know. That's why he's coming home early (2hr commute so he's not back yet).

This is so complicated, and I do understand some of the psychology behind it. I just thought we were over it. Clearly not. Sorry to be cryptic....

Well we're here if you need to talk to us. Pm if you want. Big unmnetty hug.

Well... Seems like were all having an absolute s* start to the week! Scan again this morning for me no growth... Yup that's right... None consultant has doubled the dose and I have another scan on Friday!

Sorry to here that about dh... I would look seriously at the reasons if you think they are valid then talk it through if you can.. Like faith said we are all here

sorry you haven't had the news you wanted pink lets hope double the dose does the trick for you.

It's been a very emotional evening here. Got to the bottom of several important issues and a plan of action to move forward.
Feeling much better now. Thanks for being here for me girls.

Hopefully ? well glad everything is ok.. Up out and sat in carpark at work as I am waiting for someone to turn up with a key lost mine! Having to face a day running a day nursery sometimes I wonder why I do this to myself... And it's the worse day today as Christmas photographer is in so all our cute smiling babies makes me

queenie I'm glad that you've been able to talk things through. You're very welcome for the support.
pink that must be tough. Ah the Christmas photos, extra tough.
Well I feel rough :( sniffles have turned into terrible sore throat. DH has made me take the day off. I feel mega guilty.

Well that's photos out of the way for another year.. Hopefully next christmas dh and I will be having our baby photographed a nervous breakdown! They did look beautiful tho lots of smiles I'd be proud to have any of our children they were all so smart and smiley

Don't just hate the 'hopefully next year' bit though. Been saying it for two years :(
How are things queen?

Hope everyone is ok today.. Finally some good news on my part have 2 leading follicles not big enough yet but compared to last weeks 8mm and 9mm today's 13mm and 14mm is a definate improvement another scan on Monday x

Hurray for growing follicles

Thanks faith, more good news tonight as I have an interview for a PGCE (post graduate certificate in education) on the 25th... Things r looking up hope everyone has had a good day and have a good weekend planned?

hello all.

pink that's great news on both counts.

Things pretty good here. Things coming to a head with DH was a good thing really. It means we've had really frank conversations about stuff.
I've started my induction for volunteering for the CAB. I've dyed my fringe blue and had my nose pierced.
DS being a little so and so. I love him but, hells teeth, he's 6 going on 14 and it's wearing. Emotional too in some respects, he feels like we don't love him because we're mean to him so much. Actually we ARE but that's because his behaviour has gone to the wall - and i'm consistent with discipline.

Wow big changes afoot! pink congratulations on the interview! What do you want to teach? How would that fit with baybee plans?
queen you sound more positive :) Yes discipline is key but of course you come across as mean. Do you think it's tougher with him being home schooled just cos he's only disciplined by you two not a teacher as well? I'm really glad you and OH have talked things through. Sounds more positive to move forward. Blue hair? Nose piercing? Far out!
I am still ill, just full of cold and coughing. Flippin' horrid. Mostly this weekend I'll mostly be blowing my nose.

Enjoy.else lurking? one? Delilah? if? --memory like sieve please don't be offended if I miss anyone!

Hey, I'm here :)

Been a mad super busy week at work. We've arranged to have our bathroom redone next month though, prior to the house going on the market in the spring. I'm a bit overwhelmed with the amount of decluttering we'll need to do though.
DH suggested we downsize to a 2bed, as we don't need a 3bed :( He has a point - and as the area we are planning to move to is more expensive it might be a good one. I however had found my dream 6 bed Georgian house - would need to win the lottery though.

Good news pink I hope things continue to grow. faith sorry you are suffering, get well soon. queen I admire you going for blue hair. Mine as purple once as a teenager - its a far more sedate brown with the odd grey now!

As for me -it's CD23 and I've started spotting. My cycles are getting stupidly short recently, something else to worry about....

Hey there delilah! Sounds very proactive your end. Decluttering is challenging but therapeutic.
It must be weird looking to downsize. Practical of DH to suggest it but I suspect it's a tad gut wrenching yes?
My DH has abandoned me gone off to a pub quiz tonight. I'm a bit bored.

Wow lots going on everywhere hehe all good tho for a change (except your cold faith but it won't be long now till
It's gone just keep dosing up )

I'd like to teach primary (3-7yrs) if I get in it's a year training starting sept next year and and the in terms of tcc well just have to work around it... I won't stop treatment and so I will have to schedule around apts and stuff but I am hoping I will have a baby or at least get pregnant in the next 2 years... And if I don't then at least I hadn't let myself bee held back by it... I got accepted last year and didn't take up the offers thought I would be pg but I can't let it stop
Me again.. Sad to say it could take years and years and I can't wait that long to have a life, so for as long as I can have both I will try my hardest to have both.. But if push came to shove id abandon it all for a chance to be a mum x hopefully it won't come to that tho

pink i have put off doing so many things in the last two years with the thinking 'i'll have baby and have to abandon it all'.....i'm past that now and just getting on with life. I've taken up two volunteering positions, and just carried on with as many festivals as we could fit in etc.

We put off so much too. We weren't going to have a foreign holiday in that whole "Oh what if I get pregnant?" way last year. In the end we booked last minute and went all inclusive to Fuerteventura. Was blardy brilliant! We got pished, got a sun tan but most of all had time to talk and relax It was while we were renovating the house too. Have agreed to book the week off around the same time (March) and go again next year.

Well another weekend over a couple of swi's down (nurses orders) just in case the unthinkable happens and I ovulate independently, otherwise I have a scan tomorrow and will hopefully trigger in the evening so a fun filled week in store for me

Woohoo! Finally something going my way 4 follicles up from 3! 2 @ 19mm and 2 @ 11mm trigger tonight and swi all week fingers crossed! Hope everyone is having a happy Monday

I'm alright, almost recovered from virus although still coughing a lot! Aiming to go back to work tomorrow. I've been very bored.
No chance of swimmers meeting egg in this house this cycle - I just haven't been up to it but hey less than a week til DH's appointment now :) things are at least moving forward.

woohoo! for pink as there's no chance of me conceiving this month i'm sending you my share of luck x

Thanks ladies well triggered an hour ago and in nurses orders swi for the next 3 days then a lovely 2ww to get settled for.... Trying not to keep my hopes up although my sister is oozing positivity I think she will be more gutted if it doesn't work this time and with nearly £1,200.50 spent on this cycle not really wanting to do it again

Hello all, hope everyone is doing ok.
pink good luck with the SWI, the fat follicles sound very promising!
Little update from me, have been prescribed clomid for the next 3 months. Saw the consultant on friday and he did not suggest any exploratory work, just giving the clomid a whirl. Started last night, it gave me terrible insomnia and night sweats, nice. He has also put us on the list for NHS funded IVf so ball is rolling so to speak.
In other news i got a promotion at work. After 20 months of trying it will be my sodding luck that we get preggers first month into new role! What will be will be.
faithare you all sorted for your app, its coming up soon isn't it? Hope your cold is dying down.
Hi to everyone else.
