clareanna · 01/09/2010 16:53

hi old thread member here - tightie whities may have been my and Gi1da's fault - something to do with the bodyform ad and how when we all got our AFs we would don our tightie whitie shorts and go rollerskating because getting our AFs felt THAT GOOD.
or summink like that - like viv's reasoning too!

nickstermum · 01/09/2010 17:10

mamap i have diarised to fish slap you in two days time..... Grin

MamaPower · 01/09/2010 17:36

...and that is why I am on this thread! Thanks nickster Look forward to my fishy encounter, am I off the hook if I behave though (of do I just get a fish slap anyway a reminder I'll still have well over a week left so no silly sympton spotting?)?

sunchild77 · 01/09/2010 18:05

Thanks for the fish slapping guys! But to be honest, I have been well and truly slapped down this afternoon. But NOT by you guys....

I was at DDs swimming class and of course there is a mum there who I'm kind of friendly with vaguely. And of course she decides to tell me she's pregnant... ((I KNEW this would happen at some point, but its such a shock when it comes unexpectedly)) She has my due date from the m/c, she is blooming and looks fab.

I had to go and cry in the toilets and try and calm down... Totally totally gutted. I mean of course Im happy for her, but still so sad :( Urgh. I wasnt expecting this reaction from myself. Thought I was doing ok.

Have absolutely no desire to poas at all now. :(

Magic8ballhastheanswers · 01/09/2010 18:27

Clareanna tighty whities was your call hun Grin The registar told me after my erpc to have at least 2-3 GOOD periods. Goodluckbear defined a good period and your tightie whitie followed (which still cracks me up!) Goodluckbear then managed to get into a conversation at work Grin I did just read back through the old thread my memory is not that great, especially now! It was a little bit of a rollercoaster of emotions reading those old posts.....you guys are F.A.B x

clareanna · 01/09/2010 18:40

Aaah yes- memories... Thanks for looking back magic! Are the old threads still there if you search??

nickstermum · 01/09/2010 18:54

Sunny Sunny its so wank when that happens i really feel for you! Shes just inconsiderate to have stolen your due date. TBH i have had the same last wk, a close friend was due the wk after me, scheduled for a csec on my due date! How can they do that!?!?!?! You will get there :) hopefully be 'updiffed' by the time it comes round.

Keep smiling toots

PinkFondantFancy · 01/09/2010 19:24

dachs sounds like positive news!
sun gutted for you I am living in fear of that happening to me :( sil is imminently going to start ttc and I am so worried she's going to get upduffed while I'm still waiting and while clearly I'd be happy for her I'd have to pretend not to be gutted for me :( Which would be v hard...

LMAO about tightie whities! I'd forgotten all about those adverts! Also the ones where you wear your tightest white jeans and squeeze past people at the cinema :)

Reflexology info for those that are considering-check on the association of reflexologists website for people in your area and make sure they are members rather than a different category. Also best if you can find one that specialises in fertility.

sunchild77 · 01/09/2010 20:04

"Altogether now ~ ohhhhhh Body for- hormmmmmm, Body form for youuuuuuuuuuu

I remember that ad...

Thanks nickster and PFF, you are both lovely..

Well, I had a good old crying session with DH and am now on the 2nd beer. Don't bloody care about ttc! (ok I do really, but having alcohol numbs me somewhat :()
Really really don't think am upduffed, and not not not poas-ing until at least monday. Sorry nickster that the same thing happened to you... Its crap, just feel like Im thinking "that should be me..." I know you know what I mean.:(

PFF you#ll be updiffed well before her! I know it!! :)

kat2504 · 01/09/2010 20:21

sun that must be really hard that she had the same date as you did. Dunno about others but to me, the amount of random preggo people about seems to have doubled, since the m/c there seem to be bumps everywhere, reckon I just never noticed before. Never thought that just a trip round Asda could be so difficult.

freez hope your move has gone well, moving is sooo stressful!

Still waiting for return of AF........

nickstermum · 01/09/2010 20:25

Thanks fondant for the reflex stuff. Will give it a go

sunny It keeps coming in swings for me. Am fine then something hits me like a sledge hammer and im a mess. If you are anything like me you are clinging to PG, TTC, BFP (same as everyone else) in the hope that it will ease the pain

Just had a row with twat face, heres one to cheer us all up.

CHANT

Sperm Sperm swim swim swim
Find the egg and swim right in

Float float down to the womb
There you'll find a nice new home

Stay in there so snug and warm
till your'e ready to be born

Ok i know i am barking sad, but things like this take my mind of the limbo!!

nickstermum · 01/09/2010 20:27

and just for the record i am not wearing whitie tighties, the damn thing didnt put the line thro it properly!

Tamashii · 01/09/2010 21:11

Thanks for the welcome. Sorry we are all here really. It it shit.

Anyway, POAS OPK wise this arvo and nothing so hoping the next time lines start to appear along with TMI EWCM, it will be the real deal. Still no sign of proper AF yet either tho. Ahhhh the waiting game. Clocks ticking loudly in my head even though I don't feel like any kind of SW/WOI ATM.

Loving the poetry/meditative chant from nickstermum though :)

PinkFondantFancy · 01/09/2010 21:13

hahahaha nickster your song is cool! Hope you're ok and the row wasn't anything major :-( you have to do the lines thing round each word, it's really stupid. Let me know how you get on with the reflexology.

Thanks sunny hope you're right! I feel really sick but might have something to do with a giant bowl of pasta and half a bar of choccy!! Glad DH is being supportive, I find a hug and a cry works miracles.

kat the pg women are stalking me too, although I've found that as the weeks since the mc pass there haven't been so many of them. They are all so smug as well Confused....

Velvetcu · 01/09/2010 21:24

Helloooo all

No time to catch up with everyone personally - first day back at work today (teacher) so everything is mental busy!!

YRMOTB fingers crossed for a stronger line for you!

I started spotting this morning - no idea if its AF or something else (spotted at exactly the same time when PG but just thought AF was coming). No point in POAS I dont think coz last time i got a BFN nearly 2 weeks after AF was due (and BFP 4 days later) so will leave it as long as possible.

Somebody fish slap me so that I dont get too hopeful - I do think the period is on its way. Better get the white tighties on to hurry it along :)

Hope everyone is ok - it should be illegal to steal due dates!!

CaribouMoo · 01/09/2010 21:27

I know, Dannii Minogue stole my first due date FFS! Sounds promising YRMOTB!

sunchild77 · 01/09/2010 21:47

nickster - Loving your song :) you are in fact mental! I'm clinging to the hope of a bfp before february!!! Ha! here's hoping! :)

CaribouMoo - Bloody Dannii Minogue!! Well I can bet that you dont look like an alien at least!!! That is definiately something to be grateful for my fellow Scottish person Wink (I'm glad you re-introduced yourself Hen!)

nickstermum · 01/09/2010 21:48

YRMOTB sorry i missed the plot, i thought your line was OPK? Not BFP? if it is BFP here is hoping it gets darker :-)

fondant nowt important just the usual.... chores! Tho was kind of meant as a cheerleader chant rather than a poet, a poet i aint!

velvet i think i will steal your T W idea, may hurry along my AF!

SSSSCCCCCCHHHHHHHLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAPPPPPP

there you go velvet especially for you.

Gah, i really do need to get a life! What did i do before mn? watched bloddy reality telly thats what! (when DS & DH asleep obviously) Sad sad sad

nickstermum · 01/09/2010 21:54

sunny my deadline is christmas! Just got into head that christmas and feb are going to be shit shit shit, (apart from DS of course, goes without saying) unless in fact i/we are upduffed.

carib even worse when its a ceeleb!

I am in fact not mental, just a bored working mother, this is just more interesting than XFactor or housework, and far better than bookface! DH is despairing of me tho "on that bloody computer again"

reallygrumpy · 01/09/2010 21:58

Hey all, 2 manic days at work and you've filled pages! DH was away working and has come home with much chocolate so mars bars and milky ways here for anyone in need of chocolate!

sunny so sorry to hear about the pg woman, one of my friends has my due date and apparently they "weren't even trying". I managed to resist the urge to slap her but she knew about my mc and STILL was tactless enough to make a comment like that.

Well I can test from mon but am 99% certain it'll be a BFN. Just want to get AF soon so I can start clomid again. Oh, and the v expensive consultant told me you only need 1 AF between mc and ttc. I'm a bit confused about supplements, I've got conception multivits but I'm worried about taking anything that might interfer with the clomid - any advice on what else I should be taking would be v welcome.

ladybee sorry your DH forgot your appt, I'd be v cross and shouty! Oh and I got pg with DD just by regulating my cycle with metformin. I tried it for 6 months this time but it didn't work which is why I've gone for clomid, fingers crossed it works....

Night all!

reallygrumpy · 01/09/2010 22:02

nickster my DH is always saying 'not bloody mumsnet again' and he thinks it gives me 'funny ideas' but that was after I told him about knitter's 3x per day. Oh, and great poem, it made me laugh. I really want to be pg by Xmas, think I may go bonkers otherwise...

kat2504 · 01/09/2010 22:21

nickster feel the same about xmas really really hope to be updiffed by the end of December. In that case would be almost 3 months gone by the time previous due date comes around. It will be so much harder to bear if I haven't got a sticky bean by then.

velvet first day back for me too. Dontcha just love inset days?
had the prob that MMC at start of hols so nobody at work knew and were expecting me to be returning 15 weeks pg :( However very nice colleague did a word-of-mouth update before I got in so nobody said anything dumb to me like "can I see your scan pic?" or "You're not showing yet". Actually everyone was really nice, just acknowledged it without any tactlessness.

really wish it was time to POAS! I know I will be imagining symptoms.
