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

Thanks queen I am more pleased than I can verbalise but also scared! Hope you are healing well?

queenrollo · 06/05/2012 08:48

I back to normal now, thanks. I can understand the happy/scared combination. I know if i get another BFP i'll be exactly the same.
Take care of yourself x

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 06/05/2012 08:53

That's Wondeful news BB! I've always felt like any BFP in the hut is hard fought so no envy here :) Why not get a CB digital with conception indicator you're not sure about dates? Might shed some light?
queenie I'm glad to hear you're healing but sorry you feel grumpy! Here's hoping in some ways AF arrives on time so you can get on with making a baby next cycle!

queenrollo · 06/05/2012 08:55

well I have no hope of being pregnant this month as my op was right around OV time, either at or just after and as they flushed my uterus and tubes with dye I reckon anything that might have been there would be gone. I'd completely written this month off TTC wise, and feel ok about it.

BBisTitanium · 06/05/2012 08:59

Thanks faith I'd not thought of that, I think I will do that, can justify the expense now

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 06/05/2012 09:06

I felt like that about my last cycle queen, I was in hospital when I ovulated!
Yes worth a try BB but they aren't very sensitive so you'd be best to use FMU with it.

BBisTitanium · 06/05/2012 09:09

Ah I think I will give it until sat(as we are away today till fri) and then test again

pinkapples · 06/05/2012 09:29

Woohoo congratulations bb like has already been said don't feel bad in the but we are all striving for the same thing we are all very pleased for you Grin

carrieonlaughing · 06/05/2012 09:31

Its not upsetting news BB its great news and very pleased for you. Its what we all want to hear, it gives me hope when its someone from here x

BBisTitanium · 06/05/2012 10:08

Thanks to you all, having been trying for two years I'd lost hope, i hope it happens for you all soon too. Ironically ive just ordered TCOYF (at last) and a book called waiting for daisy about a couples experience of infertility... I will probably still read them

flixy102 · 06/05/2012 10:08

Wow BB that's wonderful!!

Waves hello to everyone.

raspberrytipple · 06/05/2012 20:34

Congratulations BB, I agree with everything Queen said, anyone here getting a BFP is just amazing news and gives me hope. I'm not around much anywhere really these days, if anyone remembers me! I popped in briefly when I needed a bit of support and certainly got. Sorry to hear lots have been having such a hard time - but glad you are back to normal after your op Queen. It's nearly a month since mine, i've no idea where that time has gone but I am now on 9 DPO and SWI like my life depends on it lol! I know we should slow down in case we over do it but hey, its nearly the three mark (next month actually) so sod it we are just going to do what we want *

*obviously no more than every other day in case we wear out the swimmers apart from three times today as I'm not quite ovulating yet!! Grin

carrieonlaughing · 07/05/2012 19:03

Well I have symptoms of pmt creeping in, not sure when I will be due as HSG knocked the last one five days early. If I am back to normal cycle then its this sat coming but boobs sore already.
No chance of bfp this month as only dtd once! Due to kidney stones and infection I haven't been well enough. We are starting on the chlomid as soon as it apears.
Back to work tomorrow and not looking forward to the mess I am walking into, make take the full day just to check my emails :s

delilahbelle · 08/05/2012 16:37

Just popping in to say congrats BB

Very busy with packing/decluttering/house stuff - just over a week until we move!

STILL not heard back from GPs if they will fund my initial blood tests pre IVF - DH called them today, hopefully we should hear by the weekend.

Hope all are well.

pinkapples · 08/05/2012 18:58

And to top off my day... Jury duty right smack bang in embryo transfer week AngryAngryAngryAngry as if it couldn't get any worse... It's like god has looked at me and said woohoo let's she what else they can hope with

carrieonlaughing · 08/05/2012 19:30

You won't have to do it. Let them know on medical grounds and it can be delayed

BBisTitanium · 08/05/2012 19:52

Thanks all for congrats, docs Tuesday, then Hopefully a scan soon after. As still quite nervous! Pink that sounds a total bummer hope you can put it off! Hope everyone is ok x

queenrollo · 09/05/2012 10:43

well the good news is that surgery hasn't affected my cycle, AF here today as I expected. This is good, it means i'm properly in with a chance of getting pregnant! I've also booked myself back in with my acupuncturist for a weekly session. I'm on a bit of a health kick and have decided it's time to tackle the caffeine intake. So far today only one cup of proper tea and the rest of my drinks have been herbal. That's the problem I don't really like cold drinks! so i've had to find herbals that I actually like the taste of.
Off to hospital this afternoon for my immunology appointment...

queenrollo · 09/05/2012 15:48

I am not allergic to anything (new...I have an existing medical allergy). I had an immune response to infection. The infection most likely that I had been taking anti-biotics for the wekk previous to my episode. Consultant a little bit Hmm at how rubbish A&E were to be honest.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 09/05/2012 18:35

how nice to see you! Glad to hear you're recovering from your op ok.
pink I would definitely request not to do it!
queen I'm glad your cycle is unaffected! It'll be time for nookie soon! It's also good news that you didn't get a 'new' allergy diagnosis but considering your reaction I'm glad they worked out what it was!
I'm having a nice time on holiday although being away as an extended family always has it's challenges! Hmm

pinkapples · 09/05/2012 22:08

Glad your having a good time faith Smile

Woohoo for the dtd coming up Grin

I'm just in limbo waiting for my cycle to start

carrieonlaughing · 10/05/2012 06:54

After so long of praying AF doesn't arrive now I am desperate for it to show so I can Start the clomid

flixy102 · 10/05/2012 08:33

Another one here waiting for AF to show so we can get things moving!

Where is the old witch when you need her?

carrieonlaughing · 10/05/2012 13:06

Lol and after we have all complained when she has arrived

carrieonlaughing · 10/05/2012 18:28

And the witch is here. I knew it would be early, the HSG has defo messed with my cycle.
