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.

Congratulations devil, the weeks will start to go by faster now! Do you still get a 12 week scan in 3 weeks?

Hi Pink, definitely more babylike! It was a bit hard to tell because of how it was lying but there were definitely arms and legs and it looked huge compared to last time

Yes Faith, I'll get a 12-14 week scan but haven't got a date as I couldn't get a booking-in type appt til next week. The lovely receptionist said they should be able to fast-track it so I'll get it in time. Time seems to be flying a bit already, I can't believe I'm 9 weeks, feels like 'proper numbers' now somehow

Thank you all so much for all the support, virtual hand-holding and letting me rant away when needed! You've all been so lovely it's made it so much easier to cope with. I'll keep popping in if it's ok and will still have everything crossed for us all

Congrats Devil such wonderful news.
And waiting I hope you're feeling much better about everything
Sorry not been on in a while. We exchanged contracts for our new home yesterday and get the keys today so it's been a whole world of a very different kind of stress! I've been awake since 6am for the excitement of moving. New home = New start/hopefully positive news at consultant appt next week
Wishing everyone a lovely weekend and hope you're all ok xx

Awww congrats on the new house mands will you be having Christmas there? That will be nice I bet

All my decorations are up and I am definitely feeling festive

Works dinner on Monday night and all but hubby's presents bought x

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Hi all, devil fab news about scan, mands how exciting about new house! pink I finish work early on a Friday so I did a good chunk of my Christmas shopping tonight and I'm now sitting with all our decs up and the candles lit and it's lovely!
10dpo now so only 4days to go before I do the test. I know I'm not going to be, part of me just wants it over and done with so I can get the hope out of my head. We're off to London tommorrow, can't wait. Have a fab weekend everyone!

waiting you got mentioned on the MN round up email! You're famous! Even if you're not pregnant this time, at least you've ovulated eh?

Have fun in the big smoke!

WHAT??? What did they say? How do I not know this? Fame at last ha ha! Must have been v boring week if I made it :)
I can't wait for londidium! Dh is making me agree on places for if we i get lost!

Ha ha just read it. She was flipping playing it again tonight. Trying so hard not to stab her
Yep major leap from nothing to ovulation so I should by rights be very happy- I'm working on it! :)

Morning all, hope everyone is having a good weekend.
London was lovely, walked dh's feet off but had a great time. I did have a minor meltdown outside hamleys when it snowed just because it was so lovely. I cry at absolutely everything at the moment- don't think I can still blame the clomid can I? :) 2ww normally up. Nurse said to test on Tuesday if no period. Building my hopes up ridiculously by fact that I've had no spotting and normally I do a couple of days before period. Will keep repeating my mantra of I've ovulated and that is good enough!
Hope you're all having lovely relaxing and Christmassy weekends.

Not a particularly Christmassy weekend for me I'm afraid shopping on Saturday with hubby for shoes then as hubby said I had the right shoes I bought them only to get home and find I'd bought 2 different shoes so had to go back to shop today to get 2 the same then bought 4 gourami fish for my tank and took dogs to forest Saturday afternoon and walking with the Inlaws on Salisbury plains this afternoon the word knackered doesn't even come close and to top it up I haven't been able to have a nap today as I had to set up the church for our preschool Christmas production tomorrow mad mad mad but just had a nice bath with hubby (won't be able to do that soon as belly will be FAT) and now sleeping on sofa hehe hope everyone else is keepin ok and glad you had a good time in London

Testing tommorrow. Nurse had said today but I can't bring myself too. Normally get spotting but none this month ( period past cycle v light due to clomid) and boobs hurting loads. Even joined a symptom spotting thread when I know damn well It's going to be a negative. It hasn't been a positive in 3yrs so why on earth will it now.

Oh waiting. What a roller coaster! I can imagine how hard it is to bring yourself to take the test. Your symptoms sound positive however we all know what disappointment feels like I wish you lots of luck. We are all here no matter what happens.
I have my consultant appointment tomorrow to discuss surgery. This cyst is still here and gives me pain most days. Also noticed very small amount of light pinky blood after sex the past few days. Who knows what my body's up to. I'm CD 17 today.
Hope everyone else is well x

Oh waiting exciting yet scary couple of days for you then keeping everything crossed I was the same but caved and tested let us know how it goes... While we wait? I would say but I'm off that... Mind you haven't had a in 14 weeks!!

And mands at least your doing it.. I also haven't done that in 14 weeks as hubby and I are both to scared

waiting it might be different because you're finally on a treatment that seems to be working! Even a change in cycle is a good thing! I do hope it's a positive for you but keep in mind that changes are still positive.

Remember I had 31 cycles feeling like you and could hardly believe my eyes when I got my BFP. For us it was a case of starting a treatment and finally seeing it work!

Any idea when you ovulated mands?

I've had my 20 week scan. One healthy baby, probably a girl (but awkward as usual!). :)

Thanks all.
baby and pink I'm hoping so so much, I know I'm going to be gutted even though I've fully prepared myself for a negative. Would love a glass of wine, oh my god what if this is it and I don't get another drink for nine months :) pink I can understand while you'd be so nervous to dtd and baby brilliant about a little girl!have you got names yet?

mands atleast it'll be sorted? Must be shit for you so hope they get it sorted asap.

We've got a ha ha short list of 20 names! I think we'll lean towards certain ones nearer the time :)

You have to hold on to hope waiting! Honestly I'm not really missing booze. I imagine it'd give me awful heartburn. I do fancy a gin over Christmas though... Will check in tomorrow to see what the test says!

Just lost a message but the basic gist is congrats faith on the names

Good luck today let us know how it goes and remember its not over till its over!

Better get out of bed as alarm went off half an hour ago and I still haven't moved

Bfn I give up

Don't give up waiting if AF isn't here then its not over fingers still firmly crossed that she doesn't show up...

This might not help and I apologise in advance if it doesn't but the silver lining if you want to see it is that if it is a bfn then you can have and more at Christmas

Thinking of you waiting. Don't give up hope x

thinking of you waiting....as faith said if you've noticed a change in your cycle this time that is good news, it shows something new is happening. But I'm right there with you on the repeated feeling of disappointment, and can only offer words of sympathy - but sadly can't take away the frustration.

Definitely having the surgery. Been marked as urgent because of the pain with this new cyst so they said will be in the next few weeks. Did all my pre-op stuff yesterday. Lap & dye, ovarian drilling & cyst aspiration - killings 3 birds with one stone i suppose
Hope everyone is doing ok x

Wow mands that sounds intense but should be a really positive sytep forward. I hope they can fit you in soon.

mands do you think they'll get you in before Christmas? If they've pre op'd you? Just think though that you will be starting the new year with fresh hope and fresh chances.
I've booked in for my hsg (is that the right name??) For next Thursday so I'll be having no clomid this month. The Friday is the last day of term and work have told me to take it off too so that's nice. Getting my head round the fact I haven't got a positive this month. Was certain as well so got to stop getting my hopes up.
Hope everyone is planning a good weekend.

Wow mands sounds good that they're moving forward so quickly for you
