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

Whats tcoyf phoenix? Oh lordy im about now but basically ds had been to a party today had been to one yesterday and had slept over at inlaws too so safe to say by the time we were half way round an unavoidable food shop (i usually go alone!) he was being a bit of a pickle. We were at last aisle and he decided to go floppy like a jelly! Right in what i perceived to be a ladys way. She then mumbled and cane round him... Cue me chirping up on the defensive with the excuse me what did you say to my son... She had said what lovely dungarees!!! seriously i am a bloody over tired menace today i couldnt wait to leave the store!!

Ah you're always going to be sensitive if you think someone insulted your child!
Tcoyf taking charge of your fertility by toni Weschler. Ttc bible!

Oh ive missed a trick havent i? I read a zita west book on it but she annoys me, is it in a similar vein? Or more pragmatic? I know i was just so and OH was wetting himself the arse!

I've never investigated Zita much...seemed too ott for me. Tcoyf taught me most of what I know...tis a great book. Practical but encouraging.

Oh i may have to invest then! As i dont really know what to look for in terms of ovulation, ive been quite haphazard up to now as have felt tied to getting a diagnosis so i spose i should research! Give myself a fighting chance

You should definitely read it then! You can get a copy quite cheaply on amazon.

I think i will have a look cant hurt!

Af has arrived. Day early when I've got an especially busy day at work. Impeccable timing as always.

Ah phoenix pain in the arse!

Boo to AF phoenix.
First trip to the fertility clinic tomorrow. Let's see what they have to say. I have a feeling its go away and come back in another year which I won't do. Time is ticking and if I can't have my own I need to know now before we are too old to put in an adoption applicationf

Ggaaaaaarrrrrrfggggghhhhh

Walked into staff room this morning and forgot what I went in for - first observation made by on of the old dears? 'ohhhhh perhaps she pregnant' at which point the others turn and look. I just laughed and said 'not likely' when what I really wanted to say was FUCK OFF you stupid old cow. Followed by ninja kick to the face mortal combat stylee.

Feel much better for that. Thanks for listening!

Hehe raspberry I would have liked to see that well bfn on Sunday still no sign of AF yet tho

Home from work early today as I am still feeling crap... I can't breathe as I'm so blocked up and I have a monster cough like the one on the radio

I have told hubby now about the bfn but no sign of AF yet. On my last cycle when I ovulated AF came exactly 14 days after the trigger shot so that would be today... I think I'm clutching at straws thinking it might still turn bfp if AF doesn't come but I'm not being too optimistic... I can tell Dh is gutted and he won't talk to me about it

It ain't over til the red tide arrives pinky!

Yea I know its hard to judge ov aswel I triggered 8.20pm on Monday 30th so today is 14 days post shot however with ov like 24-36 hours after what dpo am I? If I assume I ov'd Tuesday 24hrs after then I am 13dpo today but if I ov'd Wednesday I'm only 12dpo today!! So confusing!!

Will just have to wait and see but after that calculation tomorrow is either 13 or 14 dpo so will just have to see if AF comes think I will test again Thursday if she doesn't come x

Yup maybe a ninja kick is the way forward lol.
I am comfort eating everything and my head is banging so much for stressing about this appointment :(

Don't worry carrie I'm sure everything will be fine... Have u got your list of questions hehe??

Good luck carrie and also pink, hope things go as well as poss for appointment and BFP pops up soon!
not a great deal to report here strange moods with me, anxiety etc. phone bein a prat and not overly working... Really can't face a 30in trip to apple store all in all im all over the place!

I hope Af doesn't come for you some good news for one of us is great. I have all mine and partners results so far so will have to see what they Say I don't really know what to expect x

The most important thing I took with me was a list of cycles, when af arrived and how long each cycle was. The rest they'll ask you and look at your test results/plan more. Sure you'll be fine Carrie.
Well I feel like crap. DH and I were just laughing at always ad have a happy period. Time for sleep.

Hehe what an advert I'd settle for any AF on time or otherwise since mine are always medically induced... Although what's do happy about it is beyond me

All good here dh opened up and told me that he feels crap other than me just guessing but as you so adequately said its not over till the red tide comes hehe still no sign and it was this point last time she should show tomorrow no doubt

Thinking of you pink

Not much to tell here. I'm back volunteering but not enjoying it. I actually stropped at my training officer last week (i think the polite term is being assertive). I said I would go back on the condition I would fill one role but not another. I was back three hours and she asked again if i would do the other role. I know they are short-staffed and I am the only person trained to do it, but I have sound reasons for refusal. I said it would be easier for me not to go at all, than have to constantly fend off being pushed to do more than I am comfortable with.
I'm in again today and have a niggly feeling that the line manager will attempt to persuade me otherwise. I've told DH i'm leaving permanently if she does.

The monster AF finally deigned to end, and so we're all out this month for the elusive BFP.

Hope the appointment goes well carrie

virgin mary's (ha the irony!) all round for everyone. It's too early even for me to start on the cocktails proper. (though the sun is over the yard-arm somewhere in the world right now )

They haven't asked for details of my periods but I have provided them just in case for the last year. I have a copy of his sperm results and we have both filled out the details on if we have criminal convictions which we don't or have had social services involvment all which I found upsetting. Anyone else who is trying doesn't have to fill out a questionnaire before they are allowed a child.
Not that we had anything to worry about with the questions other than how long we have been a couple :s

AF got me 10 minutes ago

:( qr
Mega :( to pink - what does that mean treatment wise?
