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

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!

thinking of you today faith hope you get good news.

broccolitrees · 02/12/2011 20:09

hope you got on ok today faith
hope your feeling a bit better today too queen

have an early scan booked for tomorrow morning. i will be 6+4 according to drs dates but i know my cycle and body better than that and think i will be 7+2 or more. I say this with the hope there is something real in there that is making me puke every morning, and feel so desperately tired and nauseas til mid afternoon. i am still on the roller-coaster, of hope and despair, and am just praying that this time there is a strong healthy heartbeat, that will result in a dc2.....

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 02/12/2011 20:35

Hey all. We're both shattered, emotionally drained I think. Glad it's done. He thins they found something cos they crowded round to look at the screen intently....he's got to ring the consultant's secretary on Monday to let him.know he's had it done. May well be nothing.
How do you feel broc? It's gently encouraging you're still feeling pukey. We'll be here for you when you get the scan results

pinkapples · 02/12/2011 22:12

Now it's done you can try and enjoy the weekend faith... Thanks for the gin Smile

Still rooting for u broc hope everything goes well!

Over in my world started injections again yesterday so I'm now officially cd3 scan on Tuesday to see if I have recruited any follicles to grow fingers crossed... Moderately chilled weekend ahead have a good one ladies Grin

broccolitrees · 02/12/2011 22:33

thanks everyone.
here's hoping pink

broccolitrees · 03/12/2011 10:38

hello ladies.

just reporting that the scan showed a growing bean with a strong heartbeat Grin the nausea and sickness are not for nothing!

i will keep looking in on you, and still thinking of you all. please don't think that now i have a bfp i am ditching the hut, it's not like that, but it's not the place for bfp's and i know that. also, i am not going to post anything patronising or (unintentionally) painful, although i might put in the odd update if that's ok. thank you so much for the continued support of the hut over the years of ttc/ftc/miscarriages etc, and i do hope that none of you have too be here for too long.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 03/12/2011 12:07

Oh I'm delighted to hear that :) do you feel a bit more settled now? I'm actually crying for you Grin how far along does the scan put you?

I need to persuade MSB to bed later. Reckon I'm fertile and I don't want miss the chances for a Christmas bfp no matter how slim the odds

queenrollo · 03/12/2011 16:59

aawww you lot are so lovely Xmas Grin

galwaygal · 04/12/2011 20:50

Congratulations broccolitrees, I am so so so happy for you. Xmas GrinMay the rest of the pregnancy go fantastically. Do keep us updated in the hut, I don't want to have to stalk you elsewhere Xmas Wink

HaveYourselfAFaithyChristmas · 05/12/2011 07:01

The Xmas Grin looks slightly evil....
Need to let you all know, our house caught on fire Saturday night. I kid you not. The food processor of all things caught fire. The kitchen is ruined by fire/smoke and the living room - off the kitchen-- is seriously smoke damaged. But the main thing is we're both ok and the hamster was rescued Xmas Smile
We need to start the insurance claim today. Definitely won't be home by Christmas. It never rains, eh?

HaveYourselfAFaithyChristmas · 05/12/2011 07:04

Oh yes, please:
*check your smoke alarms, they saved our lives.
*unplug all electrical items in the kitchen before bed that you can --obviously not fridge/freezer
*know where your keys are and how to grab them
*have shoes and coats near the front door
*keep a back door key on your.key ring (we didn't and it would have helped)
*don't stop for pets, they will go in and get them for you
*grab your phone so you can dial 999

LissTheSeasonLouBeJollie · 05/12/2011 12:27

pinkapples · 06/12/2011 21:22

Oh my god faith, at least your all ok including little hammy...

Well what took my body 3 weeks to get done last cycle has taken 5 days this time... Have 3 follicles so triggering tomorrow night, blood test next Wednesday and poas on the 23rd... Might get my Christmas bfp yet Grin

Everyone gearing up for Christmas??

HaveYourselfAFaithyChristmas · 07/12/2011 14:49

Oh it's all go here! DH has heard from the consultant...he does have a pituitary growth! Which explains why he's felt rough for so long and why I'm not updiffed yet. Good news is the consultant will start him on the medicine to treat it. They will re scan him in a couple of months to see if it's shrunk. I'm hopeful he will feel much better soon.
pinky that's fab news! Good little follicles! Is it time to start shagging? How does it work?

HaveYourselfAFaithyChristmas · 07/12/2011 14:49

Liss how was God?!

pinkapples · 07/12/2011 17:33

Yup time to start swi I trigger tonight which will guarantee ovulation in 34/42 hours so swi every night for the rest of the week hmmm...

Good news they can treat it tho!

LissTheSeasonLouBeJollie · 07/12/2011 20:43

oh faith, so what happens now? what type of medicine etc? and he was ACE thanks, I cried Xmas Blush

pink good luck and happy humping!

period started today, four days early. better than novembers week early debacle, but at least I can get bloods done on friday. in other news, got our Christmas tree today and putting it up tomorrow, but ribs are utter rottenness at the moment, which has me on a downer.

HaveYourselfAFaithyChristmas · 07/12/2011 21:02

I don't really know...he spoke to the consultant on the phone. He will write to the GP to sort the prescription of weekly tablets. The plan is to start the pills, rescan in February and see how it responds. Hopefully it will shrink and we'll be all good. If it doesn't respond, we're talking surgery.
I am pleased his Godly performance went so well liss. My Dnephew is a star on Friday and since I've been given the rest of the week off I think I will go and watch him! Xmas Smile
Happy sexing pinky! Have you pulled out the nice undies?!

pinkapples · 07/12/2011 21:38

Hehe no not this time... Not yet anyway, by the end of the week when it has been every day and I've had enough dh might need a little enticing hehe Grin

broccolitrees · 08/12/2011 15:21

crikey faith - glad you're all ok. good news that your dh's growth is treatable, that should get you back on course, and take the pressure of a little, no?

have fun pink Xmas Wink Xmas Grin

thanks for the congrats lissie. nativities are sooooo CUTE aren't they. dd's was last night too - she was great as a narator, but they were all gorgeous!!

hi to everyone else.

pinkapples · 10/12/2011 22:51

Well swi done back to doing it for fun Grin I triggered on Wednesday so I am now in the 2ww... Hmmm need to find a distraction I feel this time around and I have done all my Christmas shopping so that's out Biscuit

delilahbelle · 11/12/2011 21:28

Bad day today - partially the alcohol blues I think, but also, a sense of hopelessness. I'm never going to be pregnant, feel a child grow inside me. I'm never going to have those first ecstatic moments after giving birth.
We decided a long time to limit treatment - and I don't have the stamina for it anyway. But adoption seems so hugely big and scary - and comes with no guarantees other than any child we take into our life that way will be damaged - if in no other way than the loss of their mother.

Life really is hard somtimes
