Welcome everyone from the old 'Mid 30s and TTC for the first time' thread. And welcome newbies too. Don't mind the poster in the corner dipping pregnancy test sticks into her glass of gin.

's alright, will live...

just if i actually have sex i will end up in screaming agony (again)

which was not entirely what i needed to happen right now.

blaaaaaaah!! can't even be arsed to swear so it must be fairly bad. have banned self from google until i've seen the specialist

anyway trig i meant what i said, if any help.i could at least tell you what to expect if you did decide on surgery.

ta you lot. you're alright you are.

donttrythisathome · 15/07/2009 14:59

Oh no nolongerchunky

laurielou · 15/07/2009 14:56

For once I am speechless & out of witty one-liners.

trig what a bunch of arse. Sounds worse than horrid.

pudding I don't even know if a manly pat on the back would help.

Sorry......

nolongerchunkybutstillapudding · 15/07/2009 14:53

very well put camel mate.

idealcamel · 15/07/2009 14:51

pudding fucketyfuckbollocksarsefuck

nolongerchunkybutstillapudding · 15/07/2009 14:46

trig... mate, I had a missed miscarriage at 12 weeks, the whole lot was retained, i didn't know I had miscarried so had to have the surgery (actually had to have it twice but that's another story)

it isa shit thing to be doing, and you have my utter sympathy. don't wanna go on about myself here but if you want to ask any questions, if that would help at all, please do. if its any help the surgery isn't actually that bad. not that anything i say will make you feel great about it, tbh i wouldn't try...

looks like i'm out of the ttc race for the forseeable future meself - unless that one shag will have done it (unlikely). appear to have some hideous auto-immune disease and have to see a specialist. what a fucking joke this year has been

donttrythisathome · 15/07/2009 14:45

Just to clarify, I didn't side with the OP on the thread VAG told us about. Lots of difficult issues there though I know.

donttrythisathome · 15/07/2009 14:41

I'm working "from home" today. So far have just surfed for holidays. I don't have anything to do though, I swear I'm not usually a slacker.

I jumped straight in with my comments on that thread, but then I am a stroppy caaaaa, who is just itching for a ruck, I am!

Yeah totally agree on the public property point - if anyone tried to wrestle my rolos and giant buttons and cuppa teas from me, I'd scream blue murder.

idealcamel · 15/07/2009 14:38

Oh, thank God that picture's a fake.

Cosmosis · 15/07/2009 14:16

Apparently that picture is a fake, I've seen it before.

I do know exactly what you mean about the public property thing, in fact I was pondering how rude I found those comments at lunchtime. yes she should not be behaving like that - but no way would I ever comment because it's just nothing to do with me. If I was her HV or MW or sister etc then maybe, but not as a member of the public.

Northern Fortitude surely ought to be some lovely ale made by the Black Sheep brewery in Masham or somesuch?

idealcamel · 15/07/2009 14:11

Sorry for numerous posts - am bored at work!

But this picture has somehow made me feel a little less convinced about pregnancy.

idealcamel · 15/07/2009 14:06

VAG You know, that whole story sucks - but I'm really concerned about adding my voice to the multitude of middle-class mumsnetters going tut about evil-drunken-teenage-ignorant-slut.

Yes, it's horrible and from my pov excruciating that someone who doesn't want a baby and is that daft about taking care of themselves gets one. But the instinct to treat her body as if it's public property because she's pregnant is icky. It comes from the same place as all the bastards judging us for daring to wait until we're in our thirties. Or from American legislators discussing treating all women of child-bearing age as if they're pre-pregnant. And that way illegal abortion lies. On that basis, I'm walking away from the justified anger.

And now, back to our normal programming

idealcamel · 15/07/2009 13:53

trig fucking hell, that's awful. Northern Fortitude sounds to me like an early nineties sub-Oasis band, possibly because I'm thinking of Northern Uproar.

triggerhappybaby · 15/07/2009 12:43

Don't be ski I am blessed with Northern Fortitude.

triggerhappybaby · 15/07/2009 12:42

I am - I am going to Lancaster on Friday and not coming back till Wednesday . Without DP as well, so just me and my mum doing girlie stuff and an opportunity to meet up with some woefully neglected girl friends for chats about make up and boys

skihorse · 15/07/2009 12:41

trig that's shit - I'm so sorry.

donttrythisathome · 15/07/2009 12:19

LOL. Why don't take some time off work and just dream about your 160 foot garden (mad jealous BTW). You can have a shed each!

triggerhappybaby · 15/07/2009 12:14

they recommend surgery. I recommend them thinking again unless they want to feel the back of my ring hand.

Cosmosis · 15/07/2009 12:08

retention. what a lovely way of phrasing it.

Manly slap on the back. Chin up chick.

donttrythisathome · 15/07/2009 12:05

Oh god trigger retention? These medics have such a comforting way with words. Which option do they recommend?

triggerhappybaby · 15/07/2009 11:58

Uterus update status report: there is 'retention'. Had bloods done once, will have them done again on Friday morning when, as luck would have it, I have to be at Euston to catch my 10.30 train back to my mother's for a few days away FROM ALL THE FUCKING STRESS. What I was really hoping for was to have to run round like mentalist prior to catching my train so I can raise my blood pressure by a few more notches.

I am going to be that first blood test ticket of the day at 8am so help me god. But apprently I have a choice, if hormone levels dictate unpleasantness, of a D&C or waiting till I have my AF in a fortnight's time. hmmmmmmm decisions decisions....

Cosmosis · 15/07/2009 10:10

VAG that is so depressing Makes me so mad to read things like that when her baby is so unwanted and yet friends of ours who've been trying for a long while have found out he produces no sperm and is having an op to find out if they can correct that

ski you go up-diffed again girl!! See ladies, all you need is a good talking to from a patronising doc about "doing it right" and then you're super fertile!!!

skihorse · 15/07/2009 10:04

VAG I will read that now. I must admit I did throw all my toys out of the pram and wail uncontrollably ruining OH's day when Pete Doherty managed to get that smackhead prossie pregnant in fucking rehab standing up in the fucking toilets back in Feb or so!

camel that's awful. I know the Daily Mail does a lot in the way of hateful articles - but they have run with a few about how difficult it is to adopt if you're white and "normal".

VeryAnnieGertie · 15/07/2009 09:58

ps in a neat circle of conversation, isn't it grossly unfair that this girl is updiffed and not us lovely wavering lushes? Shouldn't her ovaries be shrivelled by STIs by now?

VeryAnnieGertie · 15/07/2009 09:48

ski - wow, quick work, girly!
trig - manly nod of comfort
donttry - ew

The rest of the lushes - oi oi! It's a Wednesday morning, not much of the week left and I had a GOF last night. That is all. In other news I have totally lost count of my mythical egging status. Pass the gin.
