Continuation of the last thread.

There's cake for scoffing, backs for patting, and screeching death metal for all your metalling moments. All welcome so come on in and get settled into the plush sofas!

Dictionary:

So settle into the mosh pit, we have special VIP area's for those on the 2WW, the new bumps metalling with segregated areas for the first/second/third trimesters and the club class cocktail bar for those who have just got AF and can get-pissed let loose for the first two weeks!

I think you guys call it Metalling....
Got period pain type cramps all day.... Why? ERPC 11/2 weeks ago.
So tired. Eaten everything in sight.
Any advice?

marff Mushroom is a fungus you divvy! I don't think glorified mould really counts as a vegetable (although I do likes me a mushroom).

So, I got the doctor to come out to her this morning. The rash is ridiculous now and so, so obviously measles... I like it when I'm right Grin although, actually, I'd much rather I was wrong and she was poorly with something minor instead of so ill with this crappy thing.

Anyway, just told to carry on as have been... just took her temp and it's 39.7. THe rash only just reaching her thighs and online resources seem to say that once it gets to her legs/feet that the fever should break. I hope it hurries up!

We've got (bloody expensive) tickets to see THriller Live tonight. AM I awful to still go? She doesn't need active nursing the whole time, but obviously feels vulnerable as she wants to be near me (ie, on the sofa in the noisy living room instead of in her darkened, quiet room...).

Bon Voyage, midge

MissCoffeeNWine · 15/05/2012 13:47

You have to be brazen about it or it doesn't work Grin If you scuttle off to a guilty corner everyone will watch Grin if you Just Do It even if someone DID happen to catch a glimpse it's over so quickly they doubt their own perception and certainly never mention it.

It's the Ocean's Eleven principle of knicker checking. Do you have the ovaries to try it? Grin

pebspop · 15/05/2012 13:40

jesus missc!! i don't think i could manage that!! will stick to pulling pants down in fields!!

i do want to book the appointment marth, i might ring them later as i have week off in early june so will see if they can see me then.

MissCoffeeNWine · 15/05/2012 13:37

How to publicly knicker check:

  1. Carry loo roll or tissues
  2. Take out tissue pretend to wipe nose
  3. Shove the tissue down yer pants
  4. Remove tissue in one smooth movement
  5. Casually look at it as you fold it away in the plastic wrapper and bin it
  6. Wash hands with antibac gel if you feel it is required

Steps 3 and 4 require a good sense of timing, some guts and preferably you facing the wall or sitting with your legs under the desk But if you do it right it looks like nothing more than a quick garment shufty even if someone does happen to see.

If you suffer with pregnancy rhinitis like I do it's a perfect excuse for the tissues, and the antibac makes you look dead thoughtful trying not to pass on the cold everyone thinks you have which is why you look pretty rubbish and are so tired.

MarthasHarbour · 15/05/2012 13:13

loving how you are all coming out of the woodwork with this public knicker checking Wink

MarthasHarbour · 15/05/2012 13:12

pebs you go with your heart, yes the head will always say that you are rushing things but, what is your gut reaction? my bet is that you want to make the appointment. especially if you wont have to pay for the hysteroscopy

PieMistress · 15/05/2012 12:48

I also used to publicly knicker check! Blush

pebspop · 15/05/2012 12:39

i can't understand how you could check secretly unless you go somewhere quiet and just have a look - thats whats i did in the field!!!

is that all it is???

i rang my consultants secretary today and she is going to get my referral letter done by next week. i also rang the private wing of liverpool hospital and they said i could book in with the main guy (mr farquarson) in a couple of weeks - should i ???? it would be £225 for the consultation so not bad really. they said if i need hysteroscopy i would be referred back to nhs for it so i wouldn't have to pay for that privately. i think it would be about £1500-£2000 if i could have it private.

i want to do it but i feel like i am always rushing things. although it will be two years at the end of this month since i started ttc and i haven't really got anywhere apart from a load of heartache. dh will probably say i am rushing things although the penny did drop for him this weekend that this has been going on for a long time and the next ttc session could still be months away so he might be keen on the idea.

backwardpossom · 15/05/2012 12:39

cakey do a search on ebay - I got 30 tests for £2.65 including delivery.

MumTumWanted · 15/05/2012 11:53

Right now in this awful limbo ( and being to scared to walk out of the door just in case it starts) I would love to know how to get away with the public knicker checking Smile so some girls share the secret ....

StateofConfusion · 15/05/2012 10:58

Its not particulaly(sp?) subtle, I don't think I can divulge this on mumsnet! --not atleast until someone else does and I can nod along--

Its best if you pop back to your car. Blush

MarthasHarbour · 15/05/2012 10:40

state how do you do public knicker checking??

why is nobody telling us? is it some kind of masonic handshake type thing? Hmm

cakey you can have a mushroom though coz that is a vegetable! Hmm

StateofConfusion · 15/05/2012 10:34

I am so glad I'm not the only public knicker checker Blush

whatcakeydid · 15/05/2012 10:13

Hi, sorry went to bed early, y'know - to sleep, obviously. So I feel rude for not replying - thanks for your advice. Not had Internet cheapies before - shall I just google or is it just amazon?
Pleased for martha it's Tuesday now!
I would love to have a massive breakfast but - now you're all going to think I'm crazy- when I was pg before the mc I was due on Christmas day Sad and therefore wouldve been about 8 months in October for this wedding we are going to and therefore had a nice bump. Before I knew I was pg I was going to diet diet diet and be v slim and beautiful for this wedding. However, now we've decided to try again, if I do get pg I will be 1,2,3, or 4 months pg and therefore not bumpy or slim, just fat. Sooooo - I'm getting to the point- I was going to try and drop a few pounds in advance so at least maybe my arms might look slim.
Tbh it's not going very well Hmm.
Special K anyone? Thought not Grin

PieMistress · 15/05/2012 10:06

Whoop it's TUESDAY martha yippeeee! Begone Monday's never darken our doors again! :) I've only got 4 more weeks at work -eh?! where did the time go!

did baby ever come back on the thread as she would also be due now?

MarthasHarbour · 15/05/2012 09:13

high fives to far Grin

MarthasHarbour · 15/05/2012 09:12

midget dont get on that plane - tell us all about public knicker checking first Angry

woo hoo its Tuesday! thats it - i promise to metal no more on Mondays Grin

feel normal today Hmm but still no spotting so hoo bloody rah.

manda i would get onto NHS direct, even just for some advice, particularly given your 'vulnerable' state. And you cann'it tell a teenager can you? Thing is though if she is feeling cold with a temp then it could be a fever.

Breakfast anyone?

farfallarocks · 15/05/2012 09:05

Just popping to say yay for marth!!!!

pebspop · 15/05/2012 09:01

midget - did you ever tell us how you do it??

i once checked in a field but there was only dh around and it was hardly secret lol!!
