Hoping to concieve a particular sex?

I quite like ponuces actually. What could it mean?

Maybe it's a word for a second time around barren, like moi?

well that could have been proofread better...

I have no idea what a rosy Perch is btw. I just thought it sounded like a valentine's ish kind of a fish.

p.s. Thanks for the supprt marbles!

I'm in the same boat as many others and am struggling to conceive. OP I didn't find your subject offensive. Some people have problems. Some don't. As Northey says it's a public forum. FWIW I've met some of the most supportive women I could ever wish for on here. And also some of the most self obsessed, whining idiots. Like real life really!

Amen to that, NoMoreMarbles. I have made some wonderful friends in Conception.

calm down prize!! I don't know why you got so cross that i remembered your name??! It was simply because as someone who had read up on TTC a particular gender in the past it is always a topic which i find interesting and when i saw it again it rang bells for me..... Not sure what your issue is with this! If you read my post I wasn't having a go at you or what you were posting, i think you have every right to post your question in the 'conception' topic - i was just saying I didn't understand why you were asking the same question.

BUT - if having a DS is so important to you that you are thinking and posting about it a lot then maybe you should stop at 3DDs as it would be a shame to be disappointed.....

Good Luck with whatever you decide

see now prize, i supported your OP and so did quite a few others despite the majority (me included) having less than the luxury of choice when it comes to TTC. But your subsequent posts are quite a bit different and make you sound quite bitter and angry. admittedly there are a few posts with the tone of bitterness to them but non came on here to outright insult and upset you as you clearly didnt intend on doing with your OP. YOU however have now insulted alot of posters with your woe is me posts and started to have a go at a person who was defending your right to post what you did in this forum (berries). hardly fair considering what you are complaining about...

this forum can be like a baptism of fire depending on your first post (or if you dive right into AIBU) and it isnt for everyone but i have been here for nearly 7 years and i have found it an unending resource of wonderful support and advice and jampacked with fantasically witty and lovely people! dont tarr the forum with the brush of a bad thread experience as you will miss out on a hell of a lot.

Yeah, that one struck me as well Rie.

Can all the barrens please just stick to their own board please, FGS?

I have been TTC for ages and wasn't offended by the OP's question. She did after all make it clear that she realised it might not be to everyone's taste.

This person, however, has made me spit:
Isn't there an infertility board? Couldn't the people who don't want to see anything about people who can conceive just go on there? with its superior little undertones about being someone who actually can conceive. Perhaps it wasn't what the poster intended. Perhaps but maybe it was.

I don't think the Conception topic should be limited to those who are having trouble conceiving, but a little bit of thoughtfulness goes a long way. Similarly those who are having trouble conceiving shouldn't go around looking for offence when clearly there was none intended. I'm saying this as someone who has just had a very challenging weekend with my family all cooing over my sister's baby, a pregnant cousin, and the period from hell.

OP, I think you should just try and conceive a baby. Good luck.

prizeelliott, I'm sorry you feel you have been victimised, though I can't see that any posts directed at you have been offensive or contained personal insults.

Using a public Internet forum carries with it the possibility of people searching out your previous posts. Regular name changes are the only way to prevent that I'm afraid.

I don't see why you need to refer to any of the other posters on this topic as "bitches". Please bear in mind that many of the posters you have taken issue with on this thread are in an emotionally vulnerable place.

I say again, as I did in my first post, good luck with your TTC.

It is the way Mumsnet operates, Prizeelliott. At least be certain that the problem is not you. There's nothing wrong with your OP.

Well that's a separate question from whether or not it's unreasonable for regular users of this board to remember your name from a similar thread you started on this board recently.

What on earth is wrong with people remembering your name? It's kind of a risk, you know, if you post under it more than once.

Yes she did, much better response on that one!

hi prize - recognise your name - didn't you post this same question back in dec?? Not sure science has moved on that much in 10 weeks!!!
