and start posting on the antenatal threads now that they've gotten their BFP, rather than hanging around on the conception board, starting thread after thread about the fact she's just gotten a BFP and has tested a dozen times and can't figure out her dates and is she really pg cause she's only tested a dozen times and they've all been positive.

Really am I being unresonable to think it's time she moved on and stopped rubbing it in the faces of those of us who for one reason or another aren't able to move off the conception thread yet?

feeling a bit sensitive? Smile

It is horrible seeing people get pg when you want to be.

hope it works out for you.

I'm sorry but if you post on conception threads you are going to rub shoulders with people who get pregnant.

paisleyleaf · 12/08/2010 22:38

I've not looked a great deal into the conception threads. (Funnily enough because I would love to conceive - but many of the titles: 2 week wait stuff etc put me off. I just know I'd keep missing that bus that sets off every now and again).
I guess people make friends
Is there a separate TTC/conception difficulties area so that it doesn't all get lumped together?

MrsTittleMouse · 12/08/2010 22:41

Oh dear. How long have you been trying?

You are being unreasonable, but you are being understandably unreasonable. It's utterly awful, isn't it?

Her concerns are valid though. I thought that once I was pregnant that I would be utterly overjoyed all the time and not stress or worry or complain at all. Blush I felt dreadful about it, but getting pregnant was a huge responsibility and even though I was so happy that I was finally carrying a baby, I was also sick and exhausted.

I hope that it will be your turn soon.

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 12/08/2010 22:46

Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled everytime someone gets a BFP. I just feel the comes a time when it is time to move on and start asking all these questions to people who are in the same situation as yourself, not people who aren't.

So terribly sorry. I needed to have a rant, get this off my chest and move on. I was under the impression MN was the sort of place that a person could do that.

Sorry you're having a bad time of it.

I think it's generally poor form to complain on here about things that are being said on other parts of the site. It's more for ranting about RL stuff.

ThatVikRinA22 · 12/08/2010 22:48

depends on if it is reasonable, or if its bitchy i guess.

ive had a look in conception - cant see loads of threads started by one person so i think you are being unreasonable and oversensitive. are you going to shout at all pregnant women or just those you cant see on the net?

Is is that sort of place, but maybe not here specifically. TTC is a senstive subject, and the gloves tend to come off in AIBU.

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 12/08/2010 22:51

shea if I've come to the wrong place for a whinge I'm really sorry. I'm not trying to tread on anyone's toes or insult anyone or hurt anyones feelings.

ZinglebertBembledank · 12/08/2010 22:52

If you post in AIBU I'm afraid you are asking for people to disagree with you, it even says so up there ^^^

It's understandable that you're feeling ranty, but AIBU is an arguey (it is a word, honest) place.

MrsTittleMouse · 12/08/2010 22:52

Agree that it's not the "done thing" to rant about another thread.

There have been debates on Mumsnet before about whether the concenption thread should be split into those who find it easy and those who struggle. It's a tricky one. Even the OPK, WTF? thread title makes me wince a bit, as it makes it sound as though those of us who have more difficulty are obsessive nutters for going through all these procedures with wierd acronyms. After all why don't we just relax? And I've been very lucky and I'm done with TTC now! But it's just horses for courses, and fertile people need to unload too.

If you'd like to have a good moan about your TTC then we'd be happy to sympathise.

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 12/08/2010 22:53

Lets just forget I even started this thread. I made a mistake. Sorry.

BusyMissIzzy · 12/08/2010 22:55

Don't worry about it. Honestly :)

kalo12 · 12/08/2010 22:55

surely its not unreasonable to be on the conception thread and post that you are pregnant, isn't that the point of ttc

MrsTittleMouse · 12/08/2010 22:56

Why not start another one? One that doesn't mention the poster in question, but is just a rant about fertile people and how difficult it is to deal with someone who is pregnant when you are TTC (and failing). :(

There are lots of people on here who would be very sympathetic.

Nomorechocolatebiscuits

I sorry you aren't moving off to the antenatal threads yet :(

I haven't been on those boards, but one would assume from the titles, that yes, after the cursory...'Yayyyy I got my BFP and the next 6 were all positive too - so excited' post one would have the sensitivity to move away from the others struggling to get theirs and as you say, ask any questions of people in the same situation.

If I were you, I'd ask HQ to move this thread to at least 'Chat' if I were you.

It really isn't the done thing to complain about other posters/threads though, it's generally suggested to take it up with the poster on the thread, but I know that's not always easy, especially when you don't want to upset them and just want a rant. Maybe best to rant at someone IRL next time :(

Sorry again - but hopefully it will be you moving over to the AN threads x

TrillianAstra · 12/08/2010 23:00

You are being unreasonable.

But people on here seem to think it is fine is a heavily pregnant person is ridiculously unreasonable, so I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that your ridiculously unreasonableness is due to being hormonal and havinbg trouble TTC.

As someone already said, if you hang around conceptioon boards lots of people you interact with are going to get pregnant.

DuelingFanjo · 12/08/2010 23:03

I actually don't think you are being unreasonable.

there's no reason for someone to start multiple threads about their pregnancy in Conception really.

On the other hand it probbaly is unreasonable to start a whole new thread about it.

you have my sympathies though.

scottishmummy · 12/08/2010 23:05

stop bitching and bellyaching.people can post where they wish.starting a post to complain about someone is juvenile and petty

if your face feels rubbed in it,that is your sensitivity and pain,not attributable to anyone else,sort yourself out

ChippingIn · 12/08/2010 23:08

Trillian - serious question - why would people who have successfully conceived be hanging around on conception boards?
