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!

Ripple Sad for you. We too have been there. After ds1 my dp said never again to the regimented trying we did to get him.. I was SO focused on my need for a baby it affected every single part of my life, truthfully. Thats why i am trying failing to take a relaxed as and when approach its not easy understatement of the year

My day has gone wrong! I bought mr mckenna phoenix Grin but have come home to a boiler that is making extremely funny sounds and a plug thats misbehaving! Dp couldntbearsed didn't notice so hadn't called landlord so muggins had to do it! Luckily they are v good about things like this! Looking forward to bed tonight so sleepy!

Thanks guys, feeling a teeny bit better, we had a long text conversation at work through the day and we've agreed to talk tonight. I got home and we didn't so much talk, he threw me on the bed and sex'ed (is that even a word) me pretty much the second I walked through the door so now I'm feeling very Confused

So that was nice :) We are still going to talk though and I will be heading to bed straight after OBEM as I'm so tired from crying so much. Could barely keep my eyes open today, was awful.

anyway, onwards and upwards I suppose!

Well the hospital phoned today an asked me to come in for a blood test tomorrow at 8.15... Progesterone hmmm... Bit worried its a week before I can test but will admit I will be Sad if it comes back low! Anyone know what it's meant to be for a shot at being pregnant?

carrieonlaughing · 08/02/2012 19:39

They normally test your hcg levels so not sure on that one

PhoenixFromTheFlames · 08/02/2012 19:41

Only that over 30 is definitely ovulation and why they are very high that indicates pregnancy but it's not a definite indicator of a BFP.

BBisBBack · 08/02/2012 20:39

AngryAngryI have no heat! Or hot water!Why are boilers such wankers!!!

pinkapples · 09/02/2012 08:17

carrieonlaughing · 09/02/2012 13:24

PhoenixFromTheFlames · 09/02/2012 18:53

Excellent, great news all round.
Glad to hear you are warm again BB.
. DH has had his bloods repeated, everything back in range since he stated his mess :) we are officially like a normal couple...so that's an 80% chance of conceiving within a year, right?

BBisBBack · 09/02/2012 19:06

Oh phoenix thts good news! And yup that what the stats say! Xx

queenrollo · 09/02/2012 19:23

i like to come in and see good news!! Smile

I'm having a mild strop. I have a water infection (on anti-b's), but what's really annoying me is that i'm still full flow with AF. She's never normally like this. Can only assume this is down to the CP messing my body up.
GP put his foot right in it yesterday by making a comment about contraception after I'd mentioned the CP when he asked if i'd had and 'changes' lately. I pointed out I didn't want contraception as it was a much wanted BFP. (it's not the GP who is dealing with my Consultant). He apologised profusely and then looked up the last letter sent to the surgery and we had a little chat about it.

PhoenixFromTheFlames · 09/02/2012 19:26

Bah to the stats! ;) seems strange to think we actually could conceive now...had become comfortably numb in the 'infertility' umbrella. DH hasn't had a repeat SA but there's no reason why everything shouldn't be in normal range. Almost can't get my head round it.

delilahbelle · 09/02/2012 19:29

pink phoenix sounds like things are moving in the right direction :) Finger's crossed some of that good luck rubs off on the rest of us.

We are off for a mortgage appointment and second viewing at the house we like on Saturday - so I am praying for NO snow. Still feeling sad occasionally when I think about the fact I will never be pregnant - but looking forward to moving to a new place and hopefully starting the adoption process later this year.

carrieonlaughing · 09/02/2012 19:30

Great news all round today then.
I'm still happier and I think its down to the vitamins and Iron. My last AF was very heavy it was two days of extreme and two days spotting which is nothing compared to my usual 8 days and heavy 6. I think they have really been taking it out of me.

PhoenixFromTheFlames · 09/02/2012 19:32

X posts q. Bless you, I hope you feel better soon. What a bumbling GP! Idiot!

BBisBBack · 09/02/2012 20:08

Q fwiw i think you are handling a tough situation with real reserve! House sounds great too exciting stuff!

flixy102 · 09/02/2012 20:19

Flip the good news and positivity is flowing in the hut today, yippee!

phoenix I'm especially glad to hear your DH's prolactin levels are within normal range now, that's exactly what I'm aiming for and will be fighting for treatment at my next appointment in 7 weeks!

pinkapples · 09/02/2012 20:23

Good day all round for everyone then woohoo Grin

PhoenixFromTheFlames · 09/02/2012 20:26

Are you on treatment flixy?

flixy102 · 09/02/2012 20:33

Not yet phoenix, have my next appointment with the endo in 7 weeks (not that I'm counting or anything!) and will be explaining to him that I've been of the pill now for 8 months with not a sniff of AF and that we would really like to try TTC ASSP. And I hope he will comply......although maybe I'm being a tad optimistic? Have had my CT scan which was clear.
