The hut of gl/doom: ttc against the odds

[PhoenixFromTheFlames]

This is a safe haven for those ttc with difficult, with ?sub-fertility or sub-fertility labels. Where like minded people offer encouragement at times and commiserations at others.
I've decided the theme is Cocktail style: Flanagans. With a pink neon sign: Cocktails and dreams. Blinkity blink.
Newbies are welcome. Come share your tales of woe

Brilliant new pink!
I am struggling with back pain, goodness knows where it came from. Mid back so not af related! Ouch!

Pink thats blimmen fab!!
Faith thats not good, my af is heavy but so far not painful jinxed it now i also seem to have EWCM in it, is that normal?!
We are having our garden done at the weekend, which will be nice with the fab weather we've ben having! Im indulging myself and catching up on cruft this eve

Thanks ladies hehe dh and I bin watching crufts too got best in show recorded x

Pink any more news? What did u think re crufts? I wont say breeds incase youve not watched but i think the reserve should of won!

Hows everyone? My AF still going, am going to start opks on cd 12 see if they work!

Hi all, sorry I've not been around for ages, been busy with house stuff.
I have applied for a load of new insurance - that was fun, I have put down a bit about the treatment I have had under the medical section, but not a lot. Not sure why it should make a difference, but there you go... Paid the first few hundred pounds to the solicitors for the searches, and a mortgage arrangement fee. We are hoping to be in by May as there is no chain, but god knows...
Given up on any further treatment, even though I had a wobble a few weeks back. We are still being very healthy in case a miracle happens and I get pregnant naturally, but the plan is back to the original one - investigate adoption once we are in our new house. Treatment is expensive, unreliable, and emotionally draining - I just don't have the courage to go through it again.

BB good luck with the OPKs - i could never get on with them myself, just more POAS stress.
pink good news on the progesterone front, it's nice to have some positivity.
faith hope the back pain is sorted now.

at everyone else, including you lurkers :)

Not much news my end had (tmi coming) a bit of blood discharge when I wiped about lunchtime but nothing since so not getting excited or happy as its probably just gearing up for AF egg released sometime between Thursday after the scan and Monday before my scan so technically at the earliest I could test Friday but I think... Über positivity not that I will just hang tight for AF as she is bound to make appearance hehe

Enjoying crufts not watched that much watching it slowly dh and I are watching together just done the hounds and terrier groups I think it's good about vets not letting them compete of they are not healthy hopefully in generations we will get rid of all that bad breeding like the squashed up faces and horrible inability to breathe or even eat... I did like the bit about Staffordshire bull terriers 2 I have one and she's lush it's the owners definately not the dogs

Congrats on the house woohoo for may I bet your so excited x

Just a quick one to say I wiped again once today with a little browny discharge continuing to not get AF will b along soon no doubt hehe

You testing tomorrow pink ?
Fingers crossed something good has happened.

Anyway, I have a miserable cold, and of my two pregnant best friends one will NOT shut up about her pregnancy - every conversation is turned to it. Slightly starting to do my nut. The other has vanished from the face of the earth, but meh, if shes going to drop me then I am not going to chase.

House stuff going v slowly, every post brings more paperwork at the moment. I just want to be moved in and shopping for nice new furniture... :)

I know that feeling delilah. We had the same when we bought our house. It'll be worth it in the end :)
I'm enjoying seeing the progress on our house, even if it looks like a bomb site at the moment!

A little more when I wiped tonight pretty sure AF is on route it's still very light brown and kinda creamy sorry tmi who knows... I don't know when to test I might have ovulated the Friday Saturday and sunday so may have to wait and see what Monday brings and if nothing then test but I am not hopeful

Well bfn this morning although I was pretty sure I saw a mega mega faint line control line was dark as usual are you meant to be able to see the shadow of the other line or not at all I think this is seriously messing with my head so will wait and see what AF has to offer today... May test again on Monday if she doesn't appear...

How's everyone else doing?

So an inconclusive bfn? I've only ever had 2 ?bfps. One was a pink fuzzy line I think a chemical pregnancy- and one was a greyish line found after retrieving from bin think evaporation line See what the weekend brings. If the evil witch doesn't appear. I'd retest. Are you geared up for iui next cycle if not?
I'm still feeling rough! Back pain and nausea because of this uti. Going to do as little work as possible! Off with my Dad to a hospital appointment rather convenient when you work in the same hospital about the return of his prostate cancer :( and the treatment options. They reckon it's very treatable again but we'll see what they say about specific treatment options.

Ps no as a general rule you can't see the shadow of the other line....

Pink I will keep everything crossed for you!!
Faith sorry about your dad hope he is on the road to recovery soon!
Im under the weather too stinking cold yuk! I really hate colds theyre so pointless!

Hope everyone lurking is well

Oh no sorry about your dad too faith

No if this fails im ivf all the way so another chapter in the saga hehe

pink fingers crossed for you!

delilah thinking of you and the house buying. Ours was a nightmare right at the end but that was our solicitors fault. We got here though and are very happy and settled now.

BBaby DH is full of cold and I'm just getting over it.

faith thinking of you and your dad. DH has family history of prostate cancer so has to have the regular testing for markers.

I've been having a bit of a wobble after the arrival of my friend's baby, but feeling like I'm back on an even keel now.
I do think my body is in crisis though, i'm worn out and suffering low level constant headache. I suffer so much tension in my neck and shoulders. I've booked an appointment at a holistic centre next week for a massage. Have discussed a little of my sub fertility background with the therapist via e-mail and he wants to do proper consult to see if we think acupuncture can help me at all.

pink got my fingers crossed for you. x
queen I hope your therapist sorts you out. I would love to have acupuncture or similar but have little spare cash ATM
faith I hope your dad's OK.
BB colds suck, I have one too, ugh.

Still not managed to get hold of the solicitor, no hope now until Monday. Left a message for someone to call me back on Thursday. They really are useless. There is no chain so we were hoping for a quick exchange, no chance by the look of it. I will have to continue harassing them next week.
DH cooking steak for me tonight whilst we settle in to a game of thrones marathon. Nice.

Still no AF for me it's not very amusing to be honest... I'm either due on today and 1 day late tomorrow or due on tomorrow or due on Sunday only time will tell lovely evening out with hubby to dinner feeling very sick tonight now wrapping presents for our mums x

Anything pink?

Still keeping things crossed for you.

Up stupidly early as DH wanted to watch the grand prix. I have sore throat, blocked nose and headache. Not good :(

No AF no... Not testing this morning dh and I decided if no AF today we'd test tomorrow as I still don't know when I ovulated and we only managed to dtd twice who knows

Pink im still hopeful for you!

Hope everyone is ok delilah sound like you are getting what ive had.. Sympathy!

Im overcoming my lurgy atm, was supposed to be having my garden done today but its raining, argh best laid plans!!

Looks like a pj/ lazy day for us what a completely pleasurable shame

DH is being lovely - has done the shopping, and spent the day doing DIY whilst bringing me cups of tea and food. Still feel grotty though.

pink let me know how you get on tomorrow. x

Still no AF for me
