Morning! This film is sounding awesome so far, can I be producer/director? We could make it Babel-esque and have it based on different women who don't know each othr but who's lives are connected in tiny but significant ways.....

Ok, catch up time....

when don't be daft you weren't prying at all it's fine - I brought it up! And yes I know I should really let it go now - it's been over 5 years now and xDH is happily remarried with 2 babies so yes it did all work out for the best in the end.

swimming/res and everyone else with the lovely comments/prayers etc - thank you Thanks. You could well have a point about karma being wielded as some sort of guilt-tripping weapon.

red ouch, sounds painful! It's a bit early for testing still though right? So all you can do is grit your teeth and stick it out a few more days before you'll know for sure.....

fatas :( gutted, sorry AF showed up for you, hope it buggers off quickly

kiwi happy shopping!

Did I cover everything?!

It could work as different people around England ttc at the same time. But in the film the cod is real (sort of). So when we are all having a shit time we meet in there with wine and chocs and have a face to face chat.

Yes that's a good one, we definatly need a nerve wracking story and the person who's had heartache needs twins to make up for it!
Now are we all friends or is it like a story based on different women around England who are all TTC and their stories at exactly the same time. So heartache and lots of shagging, humour and sadness?

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 23/08/2012 09:34

We could have someone thinking a breakthrough bleed is her af, then she thinks she has a stomach bug.

Ooh I know when I go for my ultrasound re recurrent mcs they find I am pregnant. If only that we're possible.

kittykatsforever · 23/08/2012 09:29

Oh no, I'm torn I love yours too!
Who else do we need to bring in??

kittykatsforever · 23/08/2012 09:27

Well we definatly need a twins story, that goes without saying!
Maybe you could have given up on tests because of the cp's you think well what does a bfp mean anyway, I'd know if I was pregnant! When we all meet on resipia bday you cry I'm the only one who's not pregnant and we say well when will you test and you say when I feel pregnant, we will all look at each other then you and make you do a cb digi which instantly says 3+ and the closing shot is of your scan where 2 babies appear on the screen and you both look at each other with mouths open!

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 23/08/2012 09:24

In RL my FIL would know it was not MIL (hysterectomy) but for comedy value I think that's a great idea. The house in France can have a lake (has a pond) and someone can fall in.
Could be lots of comedy moments with FIL taking wine and cheese of MIL.

Enceinte sounds beautiful. Much better than test de grossesse (I think pulled a funny face when she brought me the test).

My story in the film starts with positive opk in April (was trying to catch the first egg). Then af. Was really optimistic and naive, thought once I got the BFP it would all be plain sailing, I knew the theory on chem preg & mc but honestly didn't think it would happen to me.
I will be the one who actually seems to be really fertile in a sperm meets egg kind of way but can't get past 5 weeks (obviously this will all change on resipsas birthday Smile)
My back story can be v sweet dh, house that needs renovating, a badly sleeping dd and working for a company that treats its staff like shit.

kitty that sounds like a good end to your story but I think I am going to give you twins (both girls).

kittykatsforever · 23/08/2012 09:13

When, I liked the story till the end, we need a happier ending then that and definatly some comedy moments with the parents, could the dad find the pregnant test in the trash and think its his wife's?!?

resipsa · 23/08/2012 09:13

Anyone know any film producers? Loving your part Kitty!

kittykatsforever · 23/08/2012 09:11

Lol at resipia too on trend, shall we remind you of them in a few years?? Grin

resipsa · 23/08/2012 09:08

Ha when I did a test in France with DD cuase DH didn't believe the first one. It was a CB digital and said "enceinte" - so much nicer than pregnant, I thought!

kittykatsforever · 23/08/2012 09:06

Sorry red Sad I hate these stupid wtf cycles
Resipia, if dh wants the disabled toilets why not, you know that would be the shag to conceive, it fits in with the film where you sneak in and dtd thensomeone try's the door and your both trying not to laugh slip and dh ends up with a foot in the toilet!
Oh this film would be the next big chick flick!!
Mine will be the couple sad after mc and dh tries to tell me he loves me no matter what our family Is perfect we have lovely perfect sex and ofcourse conceive our next child ( another girl shhhhh) Wink

resipsa · 23/08/2012 09:06

Smile at skinny jeans - I have pink and bright blue - friends say it's a mid-life crisis - I say I'm just too on trend for them!

kiwi5 · 23/08/2012 09:01

tess shipton
33 in october
testing mid sept, prob just before the big birthday bonanza on the 15th

am i caught up now?

red - that sucks. i have decided that all twinges are now normal part of my body getting ready for period starting. its just my head that hasnt caught up with that fact!

swimming - LOVE what you wrote about God. totally agree.

not sure that i really believe the karma thing. this year has been so totally sucky for my family, especially my brother and his family, who i consider to be the loveliest people you could hope to meet. they absolutely dont deserve what happened to them. and while i am most definitely not perfect (not even practically perfect a la mary poppins), i dont think i have done anything to deserve losing a baby.

i am now off shopping without small child (she's in nursery - not just leaving her at home!)- hurrah! going to buy skinny jeans in ridiculous colours, because I'm not pregnant and can still fit into size 12s. hurrah!

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 23/08/2012 08:59

Disabled toilet. Is he mad?

Trying to think of an exciting poas moment for the film version of me. The way I had to test in France was a bit of a pain. Dh stupidly unpacked the hpts so I had none on hols. We were out there with his mum and dad and I didn't want them to know I was testing.

I had to sneak off on a trip to the local town and find a chemist (stupid supermarkets don't do preg tests). The shop assistant didn't speak any English and I didn't know the French for pregnancy test test de grossesse.

Had to hide the test up my jumper until we got back to the house we were staying in. It sucked cause I only had one test, it was positive. Then when I got back to uk I did another one to double check everything was ok and got three BFNs in a row Sad.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 23/08/2012 08:47

fatas gutted your af decided to reappear, I really wanted you in the 15th Sep testers club. Hopefully it will bugger off v quickly.

red sorry about the bfn and pink cm. Weird boob pain though it seems a bit cruel to keep dangling symptoms in front of you without a BFP.

OP posts:
resipsa · 23/08/2012 08:35

Red - sorry - know how you feel - my soreness (something new for me pre-AF) this month convinced me it was my month so much so that I calculated ML dates Sad.
Fatas - sorry you'll no longer be joining the weirdest online birthday party on 15th.
Can't believe that I go to be at 9.30pm (in my defence, two nights IN A ROW of broken sleep are killers when you're not used to it ) and miss the best film pitch ever from kitty. Can the dog pick up the test from the floor then give it to DD who brings it to me?
Not sure the shagging hats would get anywhere on Dragon's Den...
Never tried the bathroom (and not likely to at my age but DH was suggesting he fancied the disabled toilet at work (we're in the same building but not the same employer)) which cements my view that men are weird).
Kitten - you should only be beating yourself up if the actions you regret led nowhere. As they led you to DH, that's just life. No bad karma for you.

redstrawberry · 23/08/2012 08:24

Sorry about the painful AF fatas hope it finishes before your hols finish so you can have a few days on hol without AF.

all of porn star names are very amusing :) swimmings Gypsy Alan is my fav...lol

I am going out of my mind - I woke up at 4am with severe boob ache. I cannot sleep on my front or side. Sharp stabbing pains all morning. And now they are so sensitive against my bra. I have to hold them while i go up and down the stairs. Has anyone ever felt this kind of boob ache?

And I am now about to cry because I have just seen some pink tinged CM while wiping :( does that mean the witch is on its way? and all this boob ache amounted to nothing?

oh and BFN today as well.

weechops · 23/08/2012 07:32

Fatas that's rotten, but don't you dare give up hope yet. I've got dibs on hopelessness after this cycle :)

I poas this morning and finally got my smiley face so hopefully one day of dtd might be enough?

Oh and my pornstar name would be Charlie Crawford!

kittykatsforever · 23/08/2012 07:21

Swimming I'm not sure about porn name, you sound more like a fortune teller especially with the fab advice
Kitten, everything happened for a reason, your dh was put in your path to find the love of your life, I think you've carried the guilt long enough, you won't be the first or last and I'm sure most have gone on to have beautiful healthy children Wink
Fatas Sad that sucks, do you definatly think you will have to wait to test....... How can we adapt this into our film Hmm

fatasbutter · 23/08/2012 07:04

Hello again! Every time I post I've missed loads!

Grin at sausage whitlow!! That is hysterical!! Unfortunately I'm sill racking my brain tryig to remember what my first pet was called!

So my early AF was just 3 days of heavy spotting followed by 3 days of no bleeding followed by (today) painful AF. its not fair!! Not only will I now have AF for my whole holiday but will also not now be due to test on 15th sept Sad -will be 21st instead, but have absolutely lost any hope for a BFP while my cycles are up shit creek!!
(sigh) I have no idea what my body is doing!!

Anyway, enough depressage!! Happy thoughts for the day - hols start tomorrow and I can't wait!! Wink

frustratedpants · 22/08/2012 23:01

Swimming I love your porn name. So many possibilities. Grin

Also agree with your other train of thought.

swimmingnotdrowning · 22/08/2012 22:58

Two trains of thought making my head swim (geddit?)

One is that I think the idea of karma binds people to past pain. I believe that God offers to step in and wipe the slate clean, especially when we regret something. I don't think that's guilt we need to carry and he would like us to let him set us free. I am going to pray for release from the guilt on here.

Other thought is that porn name would be Gypsy Alan. Make of that what you will. Blush

So glad I didn't get those two thoughts muddled up! Wink

Lolcbcb · 22/08/2012 22:55

Lol we do have an ability to have the most random conversations!
Will not jump DH in bathroom floor. Have got beautiful marble tiles. Too hard and too cold.
