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!

I've had a bath, some cake and am tucked up in a clean bed :) two paracetamol (sore throat) and time for sleep methinks. Wicksteed park tomorrow! I'm really glad the hut is here.

feeling a bit glum this morning. Just realised that AF is due next week when we're away, which will complicate matters as far as phoning the hospital to get an appt for HSG. (not great mobile signal where we're going) Sad

it's going to be another month and I fear my consultant isn't going to send me an appt until he has the results from that tests to look at.

OracleInaCoracle · 19/08/2011 08:31

faith, hope you feel better and have a better day today.
queen, can you ring up make the appointment in advance and that way you have the added bonus of tempting fate?

as for me, still upduffed. panicked a bit yesterday about a load of slightly discoloured cm. then thought "meh, nothing i can do" i still feel really, really sick though.

Can't stop but just to say I've had a lovely day :) Lissie glad to hear you're still upduffed!

OracleInaCoracle · 20/08/2011 09:33

Faith, thank you. Glad you've had a good day.n how's everyone else?

I'm still pregnant. I have a bit of an upset tummy to go with the sickyness, but I'm ok otherwise, although I can't stop knicker checking. Its like a compulsive disorder, I can't think about anything else. Yesterday we were walking the dog and I felt something, so I ducked into the bushes to check. Its only a matter of time before I whip my jeans down in asda! Sorry, I know that this probably isn't the place for me to talk about my pg, but I can't join any clubs yet.

lissie lovely this is definitely the place to talk about your pregnancy. We understand why you're not in a club yet. You know how when most people say they're upduffed you're like happy but jealous?! Not one iota of jealously here I just hope and pray for a sticky bean! I'm sure we all want to here updates from you :)

OracleInaCoracle · 20/08/2011 10:18

Thank you. Dh is tentatively talking about it now. We were going to get ds another dog for christmas, but dh said last night that we would have to reconsider if everything goes well. We were also going to decorate/furnish the spare room, but are postponing that too. I'm glad he is getting a bit more optimistic, but I can't feel the same way. Just because I am pg now, doesn't mean that I will be come christmas, or even next week.

Still, clothes feel a bit snug (always the same v early on) and I am hurling for england. So I suppose this one has a good a chance as any to hold on.

Oh, and if anyone is keeping score, I no longer eat eggs or drink tea.

Hello all. Been pointed towards the thread, going to mark my spot so I can come back and have a look through it later on. I do find it very hard to keep up with threads though so may end up being a bit on the quiet side.
I lost all my pregnancy innocence when I had a MC, now I'm very much on the gloom side of every upcoming AF and no longer one for obsessive symptom spotting. AF due tomorrow but I only had sex at the beginning of the fertile cycle so extremely pessimistic and down about it.
Eep, now I feel that some one should give me a slap for being such a miserable bugger.

havealittlefaithbaby · 21/08/2011 07:42

Hi dizzy. This is the place where you can be gloomy and it's fairly slow moving. Welcome.
Lissie lovely, any update?

ducksinarow · 21/08/2011 08:12

Lissie - hope that you are ok and that you are still pg. I have all my fingers and toes crossed, but it is making typing on here very difficult!

OracleInaCoracle · 21/08/2011 08:57

Dizzy, welcome to the hut. I second faith!

Faith, ducks, not bleeding yet. Still really sick though. My temp was rising last night so just need to wait and see now. Did anyone else have a storm last night? It kept me up (and the dog)

ColdSancerre · 21/08/2011 09:30

Lissie it's me ClaireDeLoon, hope it hangs on my love. Temp rising is good isn't it?

OracleInaCoracle · 21/08/2011 09:48

Claire/cold, thank you. Temp rising is usually pretty bad in my case. All my mcs have been preceded by a temp spike and flu-like symptoms (but my cons is right of course, immunology is in no way an issue) I do still feel really sick though. I just cleared away the remnants of a delicious chinese takeaway and puked into the sink. Poor dog thought I was dying Grin

God, I hate this waiting!

broccolitrees · 21/08/2011 15:52

you're not usually this sick though, are you lissie? which is good, i mean. hope everything ok.....

OracleInaCoracle · 21/08/2011 16:31

Broccoli, that's true. I normally get shivery and feel ill, but the nausea and vomiting is a good sign. Still not bleeding either.

OP posts:
havealittlefaithbaby · 21/08/2011 16:52

Different is good Lissie, definitely good

PicknMix · 21/08/2011 19:10

Dizzy, welcome. No-one will mind whether you're a prolific poster or not. Just use the hut whenever you need a place to wallow. Hope you're not feeling too bad about tomorrow, I always feels bad when I feel like I've 'wasted' a month.

Sorry to hear you're still not feeling 100% Faith, tis truly a bit shit. Hope you still managed to enjoy your weekend though.

Nausea and vomiting (poor dog having to stand by and watch!) all sound better than the shivery ill feelings you usually get Lissie. Really hope everything is ok this time. Do you have to contact the hospital/dr's when you get a positive? Are you on any kind of protocol for a bfp (progesterone, aspirin etc) - apols if you've already stated.

How you doing Rollo?

AF appears to have arrived today for me. Wondered why I was so incredibly grumpy and hypersensitive (af is usually signalled by my cries of "the whole world hates me"). Had a lovely weekend spent with niece, godkids and friends 12month nephew but made me have a major melt down as only underlined how much our lives are ready for children.

Dammit. Arrival of af Always ALWAYS makes me question why my body is so completely crap. Seriously, why?

havealittlefaithbaby · 21/08/2011 22:36

Oh pick that's crappy, sorry to hear that. Hope you feel better soon.
I'm feeling better after a lazy day and some healthier food choices.

DizzyKipper · 22/08/2011 06:21

Commiserations Pick.
Glad you're feeling better faith, healthier eating does usually help although I find it's quite hard to find the motivation when already feeling bad.
Day of AF, I have a feeling it isn't going to arrive and will turn up late though.

OracleInaCoracle · 22/08/2011 08:40

All over, temp spike, etc.

Started bleeding.

Fuck it.
