The hut of gl/doom: ttc with the emphasis on trying!

[delilahbelle]

A supportive and slightly fluffy thread for those dealing with the issues of ttc longterm, whether with assisted fertility or not.

Thanks summer yea 2 lines one slightly lighter than the other but came up straight away I've heard the hcg levels peak at 8 weeks so that might be why who knows fingers crossed for Monday

I haven't done any Christmas shopping and luckily at the in laws for Christmas this year so no cooking for me

Ps I hate crinone gel! Just had 3 lumps of it on the tp GROSS

Oh god Pink, it's EVIL! I feel your pain. I'm more frightened to have sex for fear of what's lurking up there than disturbing anybody who may be in the process of taking up residence.

Summer if I have a period after this we'll have to compare notes as I know my lining was nice and thick but if it's anything like my normal periods I only really bleed for 24 hours properly. We shall see. Or not see, hopefully

No periods for you for at least 10 months devil (10 months? I don't know when they're meant to come back afterwards...) Interesting to hear you normally only bleed for 24 hours though - mine were always pretty short too (on pill and pre pill) - a couple of days actually bleeding then a couple of days very light.

AH the joys of it all.

Well, puds are done so I'm off out to tramp about in the snow and find some sort of costume for tomorrow that doesn't make me look entirely like a hooker. [hsmile]

Happy weekend everyone, hope alls well.

Looks like my 'period??' has left the building overnight so I'm going to start doing the OPKs from today as I have no clue how long my cycle is so no idea when to start peeing on the sticks!! DH actually made a very sensible comment saying that perhaps we should not start trying property until the new year so that I have a few cycles under my belt (where did he get that from??!!) but I'm too impatient so am just going for it!!

Good plan flixy. Keep an eye out for the EWCM as well... I think go for it and then if nothing does happen before the new year at least you can enjoy all the cheese/wine/brandy butter over Christmas... that's the attitude I'm taking at least :)

I'm working tomorrow so just popping in to say good luck for the scan tomorrow Pink xx

Yes pink very very good luck I'm sure you're soooooo excited!!! The hut is excited for you too!

Lots of luck Pink

Oh my god

Congrats what a fantastic day!

pink devil squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

So excited and happy for both of you, huge congratulations. Looks like the hut is becoming a happier place to be :)

Me and DH had a wonderful trip to Spain, a bit of sun, lots of tapas and red wine, and a very productive visit to a helpful fertility clinic. They were very positive about being able to help us with donor eggs, and we have planned to cycle in the New Year - we could start earlier as there's no waiting lists, but really want to get Xmas out the way, save up a bit of cash, I want to get a bit fitter, and if we conceive in January our baby will be the oldest in the school year

They were very sure of being able to find a donor that matched my hair/eye colour, blood group, build and skin tone, and even offered to match our interests. Slightly weird to think my potential children would have biological half siblings out there, but I've always thought that nurture is more important than nature.

Fingers crossed I'll be another graduate soon.
