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

995 replies

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!

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 22/11/2011 18:54

hey pink you've definietly laid an egg then! Good work, despite being the hut of doom and gloom we are sending very positive vibes your way :)
broc that sounds encouraging. How far along are you my lovely?

pinkapples · 22/11/2011 21:26

Hehe don't say that you'll get me all excited still got 6 days to go... We will see.

pinkapples · 22/11/2011 21:27

Do u have a scan date then broc? How long were u trying to conceive

LissTheSeasonLouBeJolly · 23/11/2011 16:14

Afternoon, how is everyone? Broccoli? Pink? Galway? Delilah? Faith? Queen? Apologies if I've missed anyone.

Back from cons, thanks for all the wishes, and we saw fertility nurse, literally starting from scratch. Not hopeful for referral, but full house of tests again, inc a lap/dye and AMH. Scan booked for the 15th and dh has his wankathon booked! I just want closure now. I, bizarrely, want him to say "no chance. Your womb is as dry as a desert" then I can stop hoping.

Well at least it's something eh? Have a look at your plumbing and reserves to are what's going on. Better position than a while back with Toadie's 'Can't help you even though I'm the twat who caused the problem there's the door'.
Oddly, outwardly I am very positive about things. Inwardly I feel wretched. Af due Sunday so it's probably just that and hearing the consultant say 'ttc for two years' give or take a cycle
I really wish we hadn't started ttc at Christmas. What a crap time to have a milestone! :(
Ah well, onwards and upwards.

LissTheSeasonLouBeJolly · 23/11/2011 18:45

Oh sweetheart

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 23/11/2011 18:53

Last night I went from mardy 'why is he always watching sodding football?!' to crying and saying we might spilt up if his faith wobble becomes permanent....then he said he wouldn't wake up one day an atheist then I laughed hysterically! Confused poor fella.

LissTheSeasonLouBeJolly · 23/11/2011 19:00

Grin bloody hormones! I'm the same at the moment. I'm crying at bloody everything!

Swear I wasn't like this when I was single and contraception free!

pinkapples · 24/11/2011 13:01

Well back to feeling normal today don't know if thats a bad sign or not Hmm couldn't breathe last night but I'm quite sure that's not a symptom hehe...will just have to wait and see what Tuesday holds it's getting closer now so getting harder andharder to wait Angry

How's everyone else this morning?

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 25/11/2011 22:55

Hey pinky, how you feeling?
I am gloomy. I have started spotting. The evil witch is on her way. After the hope of last month, it is especially tough.
Tis too true, tis the hope that kills you.

delilahbelle · 25/11/2011 23:22

Hey all

Feeling just generally down in the dumps - broke, it's grey and horrid, life just doesn't have any sparkle.
6 years this month since we started ttc. And all I've managed is 3 chem pregs and a lost Fallopian tube.

Next year will be better though. New house (hopefully), new job (maybe) and we may start down the path to adopt. So lots of changes. And I've a wedding invite for next June too.

faith have a Wine - we really need a chocolate emoticon. AF is an evil cow at times.

pink still keeping FX for you. Hope the weekend goes by quickly.

liss I'm sobbing at random songs on the radio too. Something in the air that's making us all wrecks!

Hoping everyone else is keeping well.

pinkapples · 26/11/2011 07:33

Looks like you have a good year planned next year... And a summer wedding to look forward to Smile

Things are fine with me at the mo interview went well yesterday so should be 2 weeks until I hear anything.

TTC wise I have had enough of waiting wanted to do a test this morning but hubby said no... Think he has geared himself up for Tuesday! So all I have to do now is make it through the weekend and Monday of course Grin

pinkapples · 26/11/2011 17:04

Couldn't help it did a hpt this afternoon 11dpo and 12 days past the ovitrelle shot BFN Sad I think a) it's to early b) ovitrelle is out of my system. so... Will now wait till Tuesday as instructed SadSad really should have known better but now at least I won't be shocked if it's another wasted month... Feeling rough with stomach cramps... Anyone want to enlighten me on whether there is still hope?

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 26/11/2011 19:07

Still early days pinky. Don't lose hope.

delilahbelle · 26/11/2011 19:13

pink it is WAAY to early - you wouldn't even be official late until 16dpo. You need to use FMU as the hormone amounts are so tiny early on. The stomach cramps sound really positive. Still keeping everything crossed for you.

I've had a lazy day - not even done much housework. One of my friend shas just started TTC , and is panicking as it's been 3 months and nothing. Ha. (That's a hollow laugh)
I have stupidly sore boobs, always the sign I get 1-2dpo, which as it is only CD10 will mean another short cycle this month - just what I want, AF returning quickly.

Thank god for Wine eh?

pinkapples · 26/11/2011 20:08

Thanks girls that's what I thought Smile at least I know the ovitrelle is gone so if It does work this month I will know it's real Grin

Definitely a lazy day for me too well Xmas shopping with my sister then chilled out afternoon of doing my mums nails and cuddles with hubby... He doesn't know I took a test I think best not to tell him Hmm he'll find out soon enough if it's Negative on Tuesday x

queenrollo · 27/11/2011 21:37

i've just put the cot bed on ebay. no point hanging onto to it. I'm well past the 'keep it just in case stage'.....AF on her way as i have spotting today.
My friend who didn't tell me she was pregnant? She hasn't told me about the arrival either. My mum told me, and she heard in the most round about way it's ridiculous.
Cons appt on Tuesday. God help them if they mess me about. I'm having a grumpy month and not suffering fools at all at the moment!

Fingers crossed for you pink

Still got my fingers crossed for broc

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 27/11/2011 21:43

tough decision I'm sure. There's one for sale in our co-op, 75 quid. Sorely tempted. We have £500 saved towards having a baby but somehow I daren't buy anything.
Af arrived today. Mega painful and heavy. Almost a relief after the craziness of the last cycle. Comfort that it was a Sunday so I could just lol on the sofa with my wheat bag. Still, ow.
Not long to wait pink. How are you feeling physically?

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 27/11/2011 21:45

Forgot to say, DH has his scan on Friday. Be good to get it done before Christmas. Can't believe how fast it came through. It's at a hospital an hour's drive away 'in an effort to reduce waiting times'. Fine by us.

pinkapples · 28/11/2011 06:21

I'm not to bath thanks... Stomach pains every so often think I'm coming down with a cold and was very emotional last night with hubby just cried and cried for no apparent reason... Well maybe in fear of tomorrow Sad

Were in the same boat have about £700 so far for baby stuff everywhere I go I can't help looking this time of year is worse as there are allthe baby's first Christmas displays Sad

I just hope something happens this week then I might be able to squeeze in another cycle before Christmas as there is still 4 weeks to go and they will probably start me on the higher dose rather than climbing the dosage ladder.

Anyway back to work today Christmas production next week so busy busy busy have a good day girls

pinkapples · 28/11/2011 06:22

I meant bad Smile
