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.

at pink!

summer I'm good thanks, still waiting for AF to turn up, I'm going on hols tomorrow and I'm not taking any tampons in the hope that I'll get really awkwardly caught out when she arrives!!! Somehow I think I'll be safe enough

Woohoo for a holiday defo need one of those

I had to crack I couldn't stand it I had to know if the line was darker still no excitement tho I'm being very reserved

pink . Fabulous news, i have my crossed that the line continues to get darker!

Had be confusing GP appointment this morning. Had been sent for some tests by the hospital, but apparently because the GP and hospital are indifferent health authority areas the test samples won't be picked up by the right lab - grr. Now having to use those fingers which aren't crossed for pink to hope they make it to the right place by some kind of magic, and I don't have to have them all done again.

Hi Chair. Can you get them to at least give them a copy of your results? We had the same problem with DH's SA results so I made a few copies (at work, praying the copier wouldn't get stuck ) and took them with me to our appointments. Very useful as the results hadn't made it onto the system for some reason.

That's a good idea Devil - I did the same for my blood results, which went to my GP, but not the hospital, so will make sure i do the same this time, though think this time they'll go to the hospital but not the GP. G'ah! Who knew this trying to get pregnant lark would be so logisitcally challenging? The nuns at school certainly never gave the impression it owuld be so tricky!

Funnily enough I was having a similar conversation with the nurse today about wishing I could get pregnant the easy way as she lubed up the dildocam

Happy days in the hut

My blood test results show my cytokine levels are now normal, and I am in tomorrow for a blood test and starting IVF this cycle if it's OK. Praying that my FSH and LH and Estrogen levels are now all where they are supposed to be... Fingers crossed for me please.

Mega fingers crossed Delilah that's such good news looks like the hut is not glom and doom this week

Crossing my fingers delilah and doing silent cheering pink
Quite nervous about dildo as last time the nurse was horrible (maybe because of my comment :) ) and really hurt me. I was crying as it was so painful and even when I said it hurt she didn't stop. Felt a bit violated at the end of it (i know that's a dramatic word to use) so getting stressed it'll be as bad this time. Sorry to moan.

Oh no waiting how awful Ive only had that once and she didn't stop I guess cuz they have to do it and they know where they need to stick it (gross I know) there's not a lot they can do... Every other nurse always apologised for it being uncomfortable

Fingers (and arms/legs/eyes!!) crossed for you delilah hope it's all fine.

waiting I've not had any experience of the dildocam but your last experience didn't sound very pleasant and its only natural to feel nervous about this time. I'll be thinking about u tomorrow.

Ooh delilah I'm glad you can start! Hoping and praying the blood work is as it should be :)

pink absolutely no congratulations but secretly yay to a non- squinty BFP!

waiting I've had the pelvic ultrasound fanjo cam and mine was ok - I'd describe it as a 'tad uncomfortable'. I'd suggest you take something like Kalms to keep you relaxed beforehand but also to explain to the person doing that you had a bad experience last time so you're nervous, they should be gentle with you!

Thanks for all the well wishes for the bump/scan, only 15 days to wait!

Delilah and pink - got everything crossed positive thoughts, positive thoughts!
Waiting - really hope you're ok x

delilah really hoping you can get started with this cycle.

waiting so sorry you had such a horrid experience last time, the nurse has always apologised to me for how uncomfortable it is. Maybe just let her know that you had a slightly traumatic experience last time and hopefully she can go a little easier on you. Either way while it's going on think it's leading to something a heck of a little more uncomfortable coming out the other way :)

Chair - what a pain about the results palaver. You've got another appointment on Friday yes? Maybe have a bit of a phone around and try to get everything in one place for that.

pink - just

Thank goodness for the hut - I had a bit of a "universe, are you taking the piss" day today with THREE friends' pregnancy announcements but just coming on here makes me feel so much better somehow. And when you guys get pregnant, there's none of that secret sadness underneath the happy... it's just happy, through and through.

Well said summer the hut helps so very much. Here's to lots more positive, happy news x

Omg another BFP for me... This might actually be happening still 4 more days till Hospital poas tho

pink. I love that you're testing every day, and will have a nice colour chart of gradually darkening lines, a representation of hope becoming reality.

Am a bit sore after yesterday's internal test furtling, so worrying about Friday and The Camera. Still, there will be a lot more of this kind of thing to come, and the positive news in the hut makes it seem like it may well be very worthwhile...

Can't do anymore I've run out

Fingers crossed now this one sticks

Ladies I'm off to the sun for a week so I wish u all the best of luck for the next 7 days in all your various tests/appointments.

I've bought a data bundle so I will pop in to check in your sticky bean progress pink!

Chair that's such a lovely image (the hope to reality one, not the test furtling one). Try not to worry about the Camera - or perhaps do and then it won't be nearly as bad as you've imagined.

Flixy, have an amazing hol. I really hope that you've jinxed yourself by not taking any tampons and AF shows up!

Pink I can't believe you're not going out to buy a bunch more

Hehe I have I tried to stop myself but I went into work this morning and got some on the way back 10 to be precise so I can do one every day till Sunday

Such exciting times pink x

Bad news today for me. My FSH was 21.6, stupidly high.
Needs to be 10 or lower.

So, I have to wait a month and test again and hope it falls, I can't start to cycle until it does. If it does.

Gutted after psyching myself up, and now worried it will never happen for me :( :( :'-(

Oh no bit clueless on the whole level thing.. What does that mean? FSH?

delilah I'm so sorry, you're bound to have got your hopes up.
pink exciting news crossing my fingers for you!

I had the Willy today, still v painful but I survived. :) they found a bit of liquid in my pouch of Douglas but think It's old liquid. But good news thrive found my other ovary and they both looked ok! Snuggled up on sofa now as sore and achey but positive about appt tommorrow x
