Sorry Diddle....
It sounds as though you expected it to be negative. Try and stay positive. Just think you will have to keep trying so loads of BD for you. None for me for at least 3 months doctors orders.
Take care
(((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))

Diddle · 26/08/2005 08:50

thanks peepee - wow 3 months off, sounds like hell. Yes i was expecting it, i juts hope that AF comes soon, so that when i'm away at the end of next week we can BD like mad.

I think i'm going to have to stop reading the due in Nov thread that I was on, reading about people making cots and shopping for baby stuff, is getting me a bit down, its not fair. I don't think i'll be able to cope with reading it in Nov when they're all giving birth either.
Its so hard this ttc lark, why does it have to be so unfair and mean, we just want a baby, thats not too much to ask is it?

maddyd · 26/08/2005 09:44

Diddle, sorry about your bfn. Hope you are ok and not too despondant. Keep off tha due in Nov thread. I Cant bear even to lurk on it. Im getting downer and downer over this, i cant believe how long its dragging out. We would have been nearly 8 months pg by now.

Sorry thats not helping is it.

I have a bit of good news on my front. My dp just proposed in a hap hazard sort of way like men do/ Think hes just trying to keep me posotive bless him.

cori · 26/08/2005 10:15

Diddle, am so sorry to hear about the BFN. I know you were expecting it, but it doesnt make it easier. Time for some alternative treatments, go try reflexology.
Peppee, why no BD? because of previous M/C?

strike1 · 26/08/2005 10:17

So sorry diddle Hang in there girl, it'll happen.

Maddyd, congratulations!! Men, bless them, I think I'd be rubbish if I had to propose, so I guess credit should be given for having the nerve! Soooo when do you think you'll do it.

Diddle · 26/08/2005 10:18

thank you, staying positive

Morning Ladies!
I know what you mean Diddle I cant even bear to go into the Due in Nov Thread, I haven't even peeked at it, i just couldn't. Stay outta there you!
Maddyd - It is hard isn't it, it's starting to get to me too, there are always little reminders about and the biggest one is the Due on Nov thread, not getting me anywhere near it!
Oh and Congrats Maddyd, thats lovely!! Thats made me smile now xxx

Diddle · 26/08/2005 10:33

morning lottielou - I think we all need some chearing up, lets find some jokes.

OP posts:
cori · 26/08/2005 10:36

Congratulations Maddyd.. how long have you been together.

I hope you guys dont mind me talking about this. I have been starting to get quite a bit of morning sickness since Wednesday, which is a good sign but I also have some achy type of feelings in my tummy area. I dont know if this normal or the threat of something Hideous. I havent been to GPs yet ( will go on Tuesday). Am work now, should I go home and rest just carry on. Does bed rest make any difference in the end?

Diddle · 26/08/2005 10:37

A man is in a queue at the Super Market when he notices that the rather dishy blonde behind him has just raised her hand and smiled hello to him.

He is rather taken aback that such a looker would be waving to him, and although familiar he can't place where he might know her from, so he says "Sorry, do you know me?"

She replies "I maybe mistaken, but I think you might be the father of one of my children!"
Heres one:
His mind shoots back to the one and only time he has been unfaithful...
"Christ!" he says "are you that stripogram on my stag night that I shagged on the snooker table in front of all my mates whilst your mate
whipped me with some wet celery and stuck a cucumber up my ar..?"

"Er, no" she replies, "I'm your son's English Teacher".

  • congratulations

I think tummy discomfort is very normal and natural. when I mc'd I was told that bedrest makes no difference at all.

Lottielou · 26/08/2005 10:55

Diddle - I think your right we do need some cheering up today! Time for Loopy lottie and Doodles to make an appearance me thinks! hee hee

Cori - I agree with Enid when I M/C it is perfectly normal to have achy pains, i did. But I did have a couple of days off works but I plodded on with the rest of it! My Doc said it malkes no difference either but it is realy whatever you feel like doing! If you want to go home n put your feet up then do it. Try and relax hun x

Diddle · 26/08/2005 10:57

Cori - you know you can say what you wan ton here, we don't mind.
Enid is right, Bed rest doesn't make any difference. Tummy aches i think can be quite normal too, theres a lot happening down there, the time to worry is when you get period type cramps and possibly bleeding, but if its just a dull ache i wouldn't be too concerned. I would take it a little easier, but only because you're pregnant, not because of the pains.

Lol Diddle very good

Dont have a busy day ahead anyway so may go home early.

Lottielou · 26/08/2005 11:04

A man and his wife are awakened at 3 o¹clock in the morning by a
loud pounding on the door........
The man gets up and goes to the door where a drunken stranger, standing in the pouring rain, is asking for a push.
³Not a chance,² says the husband, ³It is three o¹clock in the morning.²
He slams the door and returns to bed.
³Who was that?² asked his wife.
³Just some drunk guy asking for a push,² he answers.
³Did you help him?² she asks.
³No. I did not. It is three o¹clock in the
morning and it is pouring rain outside!!.²
His wife said, ³Don¹t you remember about three months ago when we broke down and those two guys helped us? I think you should help him, and you should be ashamed of yourself!²
The man does as he is told (of course!), gets dressed and goes out into the pouring rain.
He calls out into the dark, ³Hello! Are you still there?²
³Yes,² comes back the answer.
³Do you still need a push?² calls out the husband.
³Yes! Please!² comes the reply from the darkness.
³Where are you?² asks the husband.

³Over here on the swing!!² replies the drunk.

Lottielou · 26/08/2005 11:07

What do you call a man without a brain?
Single or widowed!!

Lottielou · 26/08/2005 11:07

Cori - Then go home and put your feet up sweetie! xxx

nicmum2boys · 26/08/2005 11:08

Morning all. Diddle so sorry about bfn (((hugs))). Your joke made me though. Do you think you might try reflexology this month? I'm seriously considering it, at least with my up coming course I have more reason to persuade DH to fork out for it, not sure I could convince him otherwise.

Cori, tummy pain is perfectly normal, I remember with both DSs being totally convinced the worst was about to happen for about the first 8 or 9 weeks. Think everything starts to stretch and grow down there very quickly. Try and take it easy if you can, and as Enid says, bedrest won't make a difference, but might make you feel like you are doing something. If you think you'll feel better if you rest, then do it, but if you need to keep busy, equally, do that would be my advice (((hugs))). The early weeks are soooo hard aren't they, really feeling for you, but sure everything will be fine xx.

Maddyd congratulations on your engagement!! Phew if you're getting married this christmas doesn't give you much time to get it booked etc (or is that the idea? Less time spent running round organising things?) Good luck!

Diddle · 26/08/2005 11:08

thats good lottie - i like that
