The hut of gl/doom: ttc against the odds

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

Hi all. I'm ok ish. been better, been worse! Pain got quite bad in night. Waiting for my scan time at the moment. So annoying, think this had screwed our chances of ttc oh the priorities this month :( so you've got company Dee. Has af arrived yet? Glad to hear house is progressing.
Enjoy the massage q.

i'm all floaty. I had a very long and indepth chat with the therapist and he's pretty sure he can help to get me healthy. He said all he can promise is that he can prepare my body to be as healthy as possible and receptive to pregnancy. The rest is luck.
We identified some issues, and i actually ended up having acupuncture as well as the massage.
We've agreed that regular treatment would be a good idea, the frequency is up to me, but that we won't address that until after my surgery.

Thinking of you faith

Scan didn't show anything....good news I guess but doesn't explain why I've got pain! Keeping me in for another 24 hours to monitor me.

AllthatshewantsisanotherBBaby · 22/03/2012 18:50

Faith and queen thats positive thinking of you both as well as pink.

I can officially say its been a bad day. Today my mother has been dead 15 years bad enough... Then i got placed under consultancy for redundancy... Fate certainly has a sick sense of humour Sad

AllthatshewantsisanotherBBaby · 22/03/2012 19:22

Thanks queen i thought i was gonna have a blimmen breakdown! I settled for a grand flounce!

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 22/03/2012 19:27

That sucks :( sorry to hear both those bits of news. You just have lost your Mum quite young then? I was 26 when my Mum died. My sympathies. Have some Thanks and a stiff drink.

AllthatshewantsisanotherBBaby · 22/03/2012 19:52

Thanks faith, lost mum at ten dad at 17! Dads anniversary 4/4,only my step mum left we are close luckily rang her wailing from work ha safe to say today has done me in... Wheres that wine!

AllthatshewantsisanotherBBaby · 22/03/2012 19:53

Sorry about your mum too faith, its so unjust

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 22/03/2012 20:02

Aw it's nice you're close with your step mum. My Dad has a lady friend. We don't get on too well but I support him because he seems happy most of the time . They were on/off for a long time but seem settled now. I really miss Mum, especially times like now when I'm poorly. Also when I'm cleaning I think my mum was a bit ocd
My Dad rang me and said bearing in mind he was away til this afternoon he's off to his photography club tonight....he'll see me tomorrow! Nice to see he's concerned about me! Wink
When do you hear about work B?

delilahbelle · 22/03/2012 20:38

Hey all
In a bid for positivity I have spent the evening surfing bucketlist and writing my own - I now have a HUGE list of goals, none of which have anything to do with having children and all of which are amazing.

In reality, if we go to adopt it will be at least two years until we are approved, so I may as well make the best of my freedom and money.

BB so sorry for your loss. I am lucky enough to still have both my parents, but my nana, who looked after me a lot, died just over a year ago. I really miss her, and at the weirdest things.

Faith hopefully you will be diagnosed soon. Being ill sucks.

Queen glad to hear the massage therapy went well. You sound very positive about it all.

I have started spotting, think AF will be here in earnest tomorrow or Saturday. Actually good timing, as it means I can have a drink tomorrow night out with DH. No more news on the mortgage house, grr.

AllthatshewantsisanotherBBaby · 22/03/2012 21:43

Delilah i daren't write mine im not sure id achieve it!! i know what you mean about missing them at strange times too been known to cry in a butchers

Faith i know what u mean mums ex husband didnt even acknowledge the date today hope he dies, my step mum is with a new guy, they have a daughter younger than DS!! I love her dearly but find mums DP a bit meh!! I know what you mean i miss both when ill, and at times of stress! Initial meeting for work is weds, they lay their cards and i detail how i can meet the needs, then hopefully within a week i would know, its the anticipation the kills me, and the changes i may have to make argh id it weren't so tragic id laugh!!

pinkapples · 23/03/2012 12:34

Ohhh good luck Delilah :-)

Bit Sad today starting bleeding I have phoned the clinic but they are not returning my calls a bit crampy but it comes and goes so just sitting at home on the sofa chilling out I guess only time will tell

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 23/03/2012 14:38

Oh bless you pink, is it much? I'll pray it's only minor....
I'm still in hospital waiting for a diagnosis...still thinking it might be my appendix.

AllthatshewantsisanotherBBaby · 23/03/2012 14:55

Faith and pink Sad
Faith hope you get a Diagnosis soon!
Pink hope its nothing serious, will be thinking of you

pinkapples · 23/03/2012 17:00

It comes and goes really had quite a bit a couple of hours ago then when I wiped then a bit more and now I just don't want to go the toilet to see... Well see I suppose there's nothing we can do anyway docs say if it stops its probably fine if it doesn't I'm
Probably miscarrying Sad well see

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 23/03/2012 18:28

At least you got through. Ok I'm praying for a sticky bean! How are you now?

pinkapples · 23/03/2012 18:43

Yea that's the good thing I suppose well the last two times I have been to the toilet there has been nothing so all good I think just wait I guess I could have another heavy one the next time I go to th toilet

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 23/03/2012 18:51

Bless you, it must be scary for you but it stopping is good news :) I believe it's quite common to have light bleeding early on. Hang in there.

pinkapples · 23/03/2012 19:13

That's what I thought then it was quite heavy for a bit then nothing scared to go to the toilet Smile

pinkapples · 23/03/2012 20:00

Now it's heavy again... What is it they say... And I think it's all over...

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 23/03/2012 20:12

Oh no :(

AllthatshewantsisanotherBBaby · 23/03/2012 20:28

Oh pink Sad it wont make you feel ant better but a friend of mine bled all through pregnancy and her Dd is early two now, so fingers crossed for you

queenrollo · 23/03/2012 20:38

pink ((hugs)) Likewise my ttc buddy who just had her baby had two weeks of bleeding after she got her BFP, and everything was ok.
I really feel for you though Sad

pinkapples · 23/03/2012 20:57

Well this is the hut so happiness can't last too long x
