I'm a midlander who's lived all over. I have the same vocabulary thing, Thunder!

WhenSheWasBadSheWasAnOrange · 14/09/2012 08:54

Bye fatas. I know what you mean about addicted to mn

winkle2 · 14/09/2012 08:46

Bye fatas xx

Thundercatsarego · 14/09/2012 07:45

Sorry fatas, come back soon x

Thundercatsarego · 14/09/2012 07:44

Hiya, no in not a Stokie. I'm actually a southerner who has lived all over the place, so I have a random vocabulary at best.

Duck is a great term, even better if used by big blokes!

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 14/09/2012 07:13

Older people in Kettering call others me duck. It's common in Nottingham too. Most odd hearing beefy men call each other duck!!

Sorry you are disappearing, fatas, hope you're back soon. I know kind of how you feel. The community on here is fantastic. But is also hard watching others' BFPs, even though it is our 'friends' getting them.

kittykatskumkwat · 14/09/2012 07:08

Sorry fatas, I will miss you but hope dissapearing helps abit!
Thunder yes it was the duck part, as far as I know it's only a s-o-t thing!!

fatasbutter · 13/09/2012 23:34

Just realised bits of last post didn't really make sense!! Sorry!!
Have gone a bit Confused obviously!!

Anyway, just wanted to say good luck to all and fx for your BFPs but I am off for a while to try to regain some sanity and shall miss you all! Hugs and luck to all xx Wink

fatasbutter · 13/09/2012 23:14

Ah sorry res and dulcet - I'm right there with you! I still had a twinkle of hope that early bleeding might be implantation etc etc but proper red blood today so I feel your pain! I'm think about stopping for the next few months - am beginning to hate some of my friends purely because they have the perfect 2 year gap everyone seems so obsessed with and have not had a single moment of trouble when TTC - it's just not healthy to be so Angry at people who have done nothing wrong! (except a bit of smugness maybe Wink )
But I'm sort of addicted to MN now so there's no getting away from it!! Grin

WhenSheWasBadSheWasAnOrange · 13/09/2012 22:53

Really sorry about af for resipsa and dulcet. The end of 2012 seemed like ages away in August but it feels a lot closer now.

winkle great news on your scan.

Thundercatsarego · 13/09/2012 22:40

kitty do you mean because I called res duck when I gave her wine?

winkle2 · 13/09/2012 22:11

So sorry Dulcet :(

I think all our fears are what most people TTC go through. Our time will come girls, we just gotta keep going.

kittykatskumkwat · 13/09/2012 21:45

Res- was it valentines? Or the place? They have changed names over the years a few times but they are the two I remember
Dulcet so sorry for you Sad the evil bitch has been striking people down today SadAngry

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 13/09/2012 21:22

Sorry she got you, resipsa :-( But don't give up. Or maybe you should, because then you'll be up duffed before you know it!

I'm starting to worry too, Dulcet. Maybe I don't have the family fertility gene. Or maybe once the wedding is out of the way it'll happen.

And my 1am shag was a desperate measure to try to get to sleep. Without success :-(

DulcetMoans · 13/09/2012 20:46

I watched the kitty, I hadn't heard that before!

AF got me today as well so I am currently having a proper sulk. Starting to have thoughts like 'what if I don't get a 2012 BFP?'. I never thought it would take this long when we started, how naive I was! My would have been DP birthday BFP too, and due date around an important date like you res. In fact there has been a reason I should get a BFP for the past three months and that hasn't helped! Maybe having no important dates this month will help...

Stokie, kitty? What was (is?) that nightclub called in Hanley near the Odeon? Met the man of my dreams there when 22; sadly I wasn't the woman of his!

kittykatskumkwat · 13/09/2012 20:25

It doesn't surprise me res, I think we are all leaving it later to have kids now, be warned though I think in your 40s the chance of multiples goes up! Did anyone watch one born and the twins/triplets? There was one couple with 4 kids allready Shock but had been tryi g for 2/3 years for a 5th ( they were well off you could tell) and had had little luck and a few mc etc then she found out she was pregnant and it was triplets!! Aparently out body's start pushing out as many eggs as they can to give us a good chance of reproducing before its too late
Thunder your not a stokie are you??

winkle2 · 13/09/2012 20:18

Sorry the cow bag got you res

And kitty, I know. I did a self-indulgent post on the pregnancy thread to see if there were pregnant 42 yr olds out there and there were LOADS of them!
Hope it's your month!

Ouch, res, that sounds like a tough moment for you today. Why does life throw us timings like that?

It sounds like you've got good things planned for the near future which is definitely a good thing.

Here you go duck, have a Wine. My round x

kittykatskumkwat · 13/09/2012 19:52

Oh resipsa gutted for you Sad
TTC is such a bitch isn't it, why is it so hard, I dont think you should give up as you hear of plenty of women in their 40s having kids but maybe if you do think your giving up hoping itl make it easier each month?! And you'll get pregnant like everyone says happen??
Glad you've got your holl to Olof forward to, I don't feel like we've been sucsessful this month either but I an going away next month and I think itl be great to go and drink and relax

Glad scans OK all around. And 1am shags? God, I feel tired thinking about it!
Well, sorry to be the party pooper at my own bash but AF arrived today so no birthday BFP for me (nor a wedding anniversary due date - always too good ever to happen in RL) SadSadSad. Not helped that noticed the arrival just before I picked up DD and in front of me at the door were the parents with the 5 week old and 28 week bump respectively SadSad. Initially gutted but now looking forward to night out and hols next week.
On to October...altho I might finally be coming round to the idea that, at 42, I am past it. Read a book called "The Two Week Wait" recently where one character preaches the idea of "acceptance" to her SIL who's TTC without success. Not sure I'm there yet but maybe it's a way forward in no joy in 2012.
