The hut of gl/doom: ttc against the odds

999 replies

PhoenixFromTheFlames · 10/02/2012 22:51

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

Does feel like that, doesn't it? How are things pink?
Well I've decided to add puking to my list of symptoms :) Great stuff!

queenrollo · 23/03/2012 21:25

pink it doesn't matter how hard you try to keep a lid on your excitement over it all, when you've waited for it so long you can't help but indulge it a little bit and it's so, so hard to then face up to the possibility it's going wrong. I won't say I know how you feel because we're all different - I just know how I felt at the beginning of the year.
I want to reassure you, but I know I can't. We're just all here for you whatever happens. I want to scoop you up and hug you.

faith oh no! are you feeling worse or the same? Any closer to a diagnosis? Hope you're sorted and home soon but if not I could come and visit next week and not make you laugh if it makes it hurt more keep you amused for a few hours.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 23/03/2012 21:48

I agree with queenie, it's hard to find that balance. We're all here for you, regardless. I just want to hug you too!
The sickness is weird, it comes out of nowhere. I went to go to loo, got in there and suddenly knew I'd be sick clever me made the doc prescribe me antisickness when he came earlier. Good job too. Had some now, along with pain relief so hopefully I'll be able to settle soon.
They might have a look with a camera to see if it sheds some light. I'll be here til Monday I reckon. A visit would be lovely if you're in the area!

queenrollo · 23/03/2012 21:52

I won't be free til Tuesday, hopefully you'll be home and sorted by then!

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 23/03/2012 22:01

Let's hope so :) if I'm operated on which I still think I might be I may still be in. Otherwise maybe we could meet when you come over for your pre-op?

queenrollo · 23/03/2012 22:11

they've re-jigged that and I'm back at my local hospital now.
I'll be in the city on 14th April for an event at the Museum of LL. We could meet for a cuppa that day if you're free?

pinkapples · 24/03/2012 06:27

More bleeding again this morning Sad hey ho... I'm fine when I don't think about it but when I do th floodgates open... Dh has been great but he's more concerned with me than himself I don't want him bottling up how he feels tho Confused

I'll just sit tight was awful telling my mum she came and sat with me yesterday haven't told anyone else what's happening yet only dh parents... Feel like everyone will be looking at me when I go back to work as they have been with me through the whole fertility thing I told them as soon as I found out next time if there is a next time I'm not even testing

carrieonlaughing · 24/03/2012 07:05

Pink I had a lot of bleeding at the beginning with DD and a massive bleed at 20 weeks and so did two of my friends sometimes you just do. You need to check with GP though as they need to check you x

pinkapples · 24/03/2012 07:38

I've spoke to the clinic and they have said wait till the scan on the 11th there is nothing they can do in the meantime and they can't stop the inevitable if it is going to happen do I'm just taking it easy this weekend I think was meant to be going to a dog show and everything Sad nevermind they'll be another one I'm sure

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 24/03/2012 07:41

Just take it easy pink. Is DH around all weekend to take care if you? I'm still praying it eases off.

AllthatshewantsisanotherBBaby · 24/03/2012 07:48

Oh pink I wish i could make it better, I will keep you in my prayers, have as much rest as possible.

phoenix sickness is no fun, i hate the feeling of nausea! Hope you get some answers soon

queen hi!

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 24/03/2012 08:28

I'm glad I got the doc to write me up some antisickness in case I needed it. Just had some so hopefully will settle soon.
I'm praying for you too pink.

pinkapples · 24/03/2012 09:20

Yea dh is off all weekend and monday do by then something should have happened

carrieonlaughing · 24/03/2012 11:14

A few women have periods as well so don't be negative. Honestly I did bleed a lot and I am still suprised that it worked out fine. You may get bleeding each month near your periods. You should be ok unless you have a lot of pain to go with it. Go to your Gp they will do blood tests to see if your hormones are increasing and they should be doing something to check its not ectopic x

delilahbelle · 24/03/2012 11:23

Oh pink I'm praying that everything works out ok for you. I know how you feel right now, just remember you have loads of people to support you.

faith sounds like you are going through the mill too. I hope things get sorted soon - if it is your appendix it's a very quick recovery if they get it early - one of my friends had hers out.

queen carrie BB hope you are all doing well and enjoying the weather this weekend. We saw Bear Grylls in Birmingham last night, it was a good night out, bit of a mission to get home though. I am spending the rest of today relaxing whilst DH works on his bike.

pinkapples · 24/03/2012 11:24

I don't have much pain I did a bit yesterday but I don't really have cramps so I'm not sure how to classify severe Confused

Not so much today just general uncomfort

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 24/03/2012 12:46

I think the fact you're not in loads of pain is tentatively encouraging. What a horrible waiting game though :(
I'm somewhere between bored & shattered now. Still waiting for doc review. No food since 6am.

pinkapples · 24/03/2012 13:18

Omg 6am you just be dying any Idea when there coming?

Yea I guess encouraging is the word hehe

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 24/03/2012 13:31

No, I'm waiting for my nurse to come round I want my painkillers! and I'll ask her. I have no appetite so I'm not actually bothered by the lack of food!
All we can do is cling on to hope and pray for you.

carrieonlaughing · 24/03/2012 19:29

Small period cramps are normal at this stage but big ouch somethings not right isn't good. I have a feeling your going to be ok but if its the same Monday then go to the Gpx x

pinkapples · 24/03/2012 19:37

Awww thanks carrie trying to stay positive but it's so hard still bleeding and mega minimal cramps today so still fingers crossed but trying still not to be happy too scared to take another test in case I don't like the result Sad just going to try and wait it out the clinic said not too go to the gp as they Wong do anything but they did say phone again if we have any concerns

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 25/03/2012 13:27

How's things pink?

pinkapples · 25/03/2012 14:02

Not too bad I guess no pain today but still bleeding more like a period now but still nothing on the pad it seems to come out when I'm on the toilet sorry tmi Confused

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 25/03/2012 14:06

That's not conclusively game over then? Just spotting technically - hang on to hope x

pinkapples · 25/03/2012 16:09

Well the lack of pain I'm told is a good sign and the lack of anything tissue like but that could just mean an incomplete miscarriage who knows I think I might do a test tomorrow then at least I'll know and even if I am bleeding I won't worry about it
