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!

Hi all...

AF is currently MIA - after 3 days of very light spotting (CD22-24) there has been nothing since. And it's now CD27 and I'm a day late.

I'm assuming now I've posted this I'll be in full on cramp mode by the morning - but a chance to hope is still nice.

pink I've got fingers crossed for you, have an enjoyable few days :D
jemima I found hand held fans help with the hot sweaty thing, clomid is nasty.

at everyone else.

Crikey it's all go here again isn't it?
All the best with the swi pinky, will be praying for success :)
Jemima glad to hear about your progress - here's hoping the clomid side effects die down/don't end up being too bad...I guess it's just about keeping your eyes on the prize?
delilah that's.....interesting. Might you be poas any time soon?

oops posted too soon: Jemima My cold is much improved thanks, back at work now although still sounding a little husky. All geared up for next week..can't wait to move forward really. It'll be almost 23 months to the day of starting ttc!

Hey faith

No plans to POAS soon. It's cold and dark outside, and I can guarantee if I trudge to the shop it will be a waste.

I think this is the worst part of infertility - the tiny bit of hope that's left.

Would be cool if I was upduffed tho. Like one of those friend of a friend miracles people always bang on about.

so agree delilah it's the hope that gets to me too! i felt better about the whole thing when i thought it was over; i even managed to leave the hut a couple of years ago. every time i get to that stage again, i get pregnant and then lose it. i am currently exactly a year from last mc and having very peculiar symptoms. af a no show today, have had unusual cramping for best part of a week and nothing to show for it. also think that now i have posted, i am likely to be in full flood tomorrow (1 day late - not that i have much regularity anymore, can vary by up to a week either way) :(

Sounds like things are looking up for everyone woohoo it's about time... Got a +opk today after the trigger last night so the 2 ww is approaching I completely agree about the last little bit of hope being the worst bit everything is such a bigger let down when things don't work out x

Meh, AF is here.

So I've bought the new Stephen King book and my own bodyweight in chocolate.

delilah - gutted. enjoy your chocolate anyway; have a glass of wine as well.
the thought of chocolate and wine is still making me a queasy but that is only hormonal, i'm sure. i'll be buying my own body weight tomorrow, no doubt.....

Ah delilah that sucks. Stupid body playing tricks. Immerse yourself in the mystery that is Stephen King and enjoy the chocolate.

still waiting......
but the knicker checking has begun

hiya Lissie!

no faith i don't. i did do but then nothing happened. i feel blurgh and very weepy, which could be af or the other thing, and to be honest i am terrified it might be the other thing. i have waited so long for that and now i am scared it might actually be happening. i felt a bit like all of the above when i was pg with dd, but then in my naivety of ttc it was excited fear. i remember thinking before i peed on the stick that if i was pg i would snap out of my bad fettle but if i wasn't i would feel better the following week if af arrived. this time i feel like if i am then i won't be truly happy til i at least see it on a uss; apart from dd, every time i have got to scan there is no heartbeat.....
it's such a waiting game now. this has been the lllloooooooooooonnnnnnnnnggggggest 2ww i have had in a long while

I understand why you're feeling like you are sod it
Have you any thoughts on when if you might feel brave enough to poas? How late would af have to be?

dunno about poas - not brave at all!
think i might wait til 7 weeks passes and no bleeding that will never happen but i do think i will leave it til i am a week late, which will be tuesday.
nice to see you lissie

That sounds really sensible, its lovely to see you too. And you faith

Apples, hopefully all the sex is doing the trick

Delilah, so sorry about your period. You are right, its not the infertility that wrecks you, its the hope.

I'm having a shit time. I have a thread on it in IF. I need the comfort of the hut

Hehe hopefully giving it a rest tonight nurse said trigger Monday then have sex mon, tues, weds so I figured hubby can chill tonight then well do it again tomorrow and Sunday just to be sure :-) very excited that at least this month I know I ovulated so at least there is a chance but equally must not gets hopes up for fear of turning suicidal if not

Very sensible to wait a week later good luck

dear liss i've responded on your thread.

delilah sorry about AF turning up.

broc sending you some positive energy my dear.

pink hoping the share of good luck i sent you is going to do the trick this cycle.

well we've hardly bothered SWI this month. I've ov'd on the left side, and with the dx of hydrosalpinx I'm resigned to the fact that i'm not going to have any chance of success until after surgery. It's kind of liberating to have a 'reprieve' for a few months.
I'm busy at the moment with induction and training for volunteering and it's good to have something to keep me occupied.

Thank you queen. My friend had hydrosalpinax on both sides, she did end up having ivf twins, but decided against surgery because of the risk of scarring. When do you go back?

Thanks for the luck hopefully it will do the trick I have stillgot another week and 4 days to wait just want to know either way x could do with some goo news at christmas

liss I'm back on the 29th for a Cons appt to discuss the surgery. i was added to the waiting list on the 24th Oct so just waiting for a date now. if removing the left tube (right one is fine - sorry not sure how far back you've read) doesn't enable me to get pregnant naturally then it's the end of the road for us. I can't get IVF funded on the NHS.

In fact I'm assuming they are going to deal with the hydro when I have the lap and dye. I'm going to insist they do. I don't want to undergo this procedure more than once.

Hello all.

I'm a lurker and don't usually post but in dire need of gin and chocolate :) I have been trying for ever.

Bizarre fortnight involving consultant appointment; lots of info about how crap my chances are; late AF; PO(the WRONG)S - Ov tests instead of pregnancy tests Doh! -; and now gallons of bleeding and clots which suggest I WAS up the duff and am now having a mc.

Feeling thoroughly miserable. If I was, at most, 5 days pregnant how can I bleed this much???

Oh lady that's rubbish. Sorry you have to come to the hut, but your very welcome. I am an old hutter, but have lurked recently and am self-absorbingly (sorry everyone, I have been in particularly bad form) loitering at the moment.

*you're very welcome! Not your!
