pesky typos again can't stick dvd on, not can

tigger15 · 05/09/2010 20:39

Dachs - good luck for the IUI. Try and think positive - it's meant to help chances. Why not watch something on youtube? You can find old episodes of programmes e.g. coupling or kids programmes of your youth.

MamaPower · 05/09/2010 20:47

Dachs that's why I am here happily typing away! TV is crap! Watched x-factor repeat this afy...OMG!! Seriously why has no-one told those girls that not only can they not sing but that they deserve asbo's!!
As for Dh's don't get me started...if I hear mine say one more time ''Babe, don't worry, you'll get your baby'' like I'm just supposed to pop to Tesco and pick it up, i'm gonna scream...men can be insensitive &**(%^^& oooh that little rant felt great!! Seriously though, you are doing really well at keeping your chin up, fx for Tuesday :)

CaribouMoo · 05/09/2010 21:15

Sarahmia I am so, so sorry to read your news. Can't imagine how horrible it was to hear that news -especially when things seemed to be going so well in your pregnancy. I'm devasted for you, please look after yourself x

I thought I better get on here since it had fallen off my 'threads i'm on'. What a disgrace! Welcome to Jamface and appleblossoms, sorry you have to be here too but hope it helps you muddle through.

I'll try to read back properly at some point to catch up on news - I'm struggling to keep up unless glued to my PC all day!

I'm dreading going back to work tomorrow as I had a chronic meltdown at work on Friday. I was reading The Time Traveller's Wife (not recommended currently, although its a good read) and his wife starts having MCs. Then the main character has an epiphany while visiting friends with 3 children that they aren't just losing babies, they are losing children too. Cue crying on public transport. Get to work and half an hour later girl across the office from me sends an e-mail to announce her happy news, that she is due start of March. Lip quivers thinking i would have been able to tell folk last week, that she is due when I was and I will now watch her and have a painful reminder of what stage I would be. Depart to loo and cry for half an hour. Think i've got my shit together, back to desk where i continue to weep regardless. People approach to ask work related questions and promptly about turn. Back in loo try to sort make and stop crying, fail, Back to desk to grab bag and try to get out words to colleague that I am leaving. Cry down the streets of Glasgow, at and on train and walking home. DH calls to ask where I am and can't speak for hearty sobs. Cry for several hours at home.

I've no idea what happened but suspect I have buried my feelings as its the only way I can function and they escaped at the moment in time. I have never been unable to control myself in public like that before. I am mortified, just hope no one mentions it tomorrow.

Hope everyone else is well and more sane! Bee enjoy India x

DachshundsRule · 05/09/2010 21:17

DH just got back from a wedding which I couldn't face because of too many babies, and blithely informed me that he's invited four people around for dinner tomorrow. Granted, two of them are under 5, but given that we are both at work all day tomorrow and the house is a mess, we have no food in the cupboard (I was going to use this week to reduce the supplies in the freezer so didn't do my usual shop at the weekend) and he has invited them for about 3 minutes after I usually get home from work I am now trying very hard not to blow a gasket...

Why do men never think? Or learn how to use a mobile to ASK whether it's OK to have people round for dinner?

Answers on a postcard please...

youremindmeofthebabe · 05/09/2010 21:19

nickster I am meant to be on a proper cycle, after my ERPC my period took 8 weeks to arrive, and then I've had this last period 38 days ago, so it's all a little wtf, however, can I have a woop for some spotting!! Only when I wipe today, but here's hoping it's AF! or even better, an implantation, but i'm not holding out much hope for that one..

daschs good to hear that things are progressing somewhat, I totally agree with tigger, if you can think positive thoughts and happy vives! Good luck for Tuesday.

I know, those girls on x-factor! Hilarious. "er-who are you|?" to Natalie. I laughed a lot. Even dp enjoyed it, as he has a thing for Natalie..

I am doing the great north run in 2 weeks, and am putting my justgiving page up, just in case any one wants to sponsor meSmile
It's for a very good cause, childrens Cancer services at St James' Hospital, Leeds.

CaribouMoo · 05/09/2010 21:20

...and crossed posts with 4 people writing that! Dacsh I'm cheering on yoour folicles for Tuesday!! Hi MamaP and Tigger x

tigger15 · 05/09/2010 21:35

yes very much do as I say and not as I do in my case

Dachs - the answer to dh is simple

"how lovely! I'm sure you'll produce a wonderful meal. I'll sort out the seating arrangements" Grin

PinkFondantFancy · 05/09/2010 21:52

Ok girls, brace yourself, I've been typing this for about 1/2 hour!!

dachs how about iplayer? Reruns of Gavin and Stacey are my favourite thing on a slow TV night. When will your dog be able to get rid of the collar? Hope she?s ok. I saw someone with a long-haired dachshund in town the other day, it was beautiful  I reallllllly want one!! I?ve just read your post about dinner tomorrow ? nightmare!! Do you have any shops near your work that you could pop out to at lunchtime? Monday night dinner party??!?! I don?t even do Friday nights because I?m too knackered to make any coherent conversation.

caribou so sorry about your Friday  If it is any comfort, I?ve done the same and people at work were lovely and didn?t mention it again, even though I don?t think they knew why I was crying. Try not to be too hard on yourself, it?s a bereavement and I think it hits you when you least expect it. I?ve definitely had proper sobbing moments when I?ve been totally unprepared for it, and when I thought I was over the worst. One of my really good friends in RL had a MMC and she?s been reading the time traveller?s wife ? she thought it would be a good distraction, little did she expect the MC bit  I hope tomorrow goes ok for you.

Hi to jamface, G&T and appleblossoms, sorry you?ve ended up here but despite the circumstances I am really very fond of these girlies! Thanks for the cookies, they were a scrummy pud after my roast dinner! G&T I would definitely POAS ?,the girls round here very rarely encourage POAS stick action, in fact we spend most of our time on here convincing each other not to!! Fingers crossed for good news!

I agree about the spots, my skin hasn?t been this minging since I was about 15. I think it must have been the pill that was keeping my skin clear before. Was a lot easier to deal with when I was under the impression they were caused by pregnancy hormones, normal hormones are not so cool. Also put on a load of weight when stopped the pill ? thought you were supposed to lose weight then?? Yet another lie about the pill to join the one about living in fear if you are sick after taking your pill because clearly missing just one will get you preggers ? HA! Whatever!!!

Hey nickster we missed you! Glad camping was good, know what you mean about the shameless crew being there, I had the same thing the other weekend. When they are drunkenly singing songs round their campfire at 2am, does it ever cross their mind to wonder why all the other 100s of other people on the site aren?t also singing and shouting??!?! Arghghghg! Are you doing expectant management? I did, and I bled on and off for almost 5 weeks. Make sure you call the hospital if you get any cramps or start to feel weird ? after about a fortnight I?d slowed down to spotting for a few days and got a bit of cramping again and just felt odd, went to day gynae and TMI but they did an examination and pulled out a lump of stuff that apparently was clogging the hole ? straight after I started bleeding really heavily for another day and then felt much better. Think it would have fallen out by itself eventually anyway though. This whole thing is minging but it has definitely made me much less squeamish!! Fingers crossed you?ll stop bleeding shortly!

ladybee have a fab time in India!

YRMOTB and velvet, thinking of you, hope you find something out either way soon! This uncertainty is soooo annoying!

starflower and honey are you still about? How are you getting on?

YRMOTB I will sponsor you ? sponsoring you is much easier than doing anything as mad as running that far myself!!

goldy fab news about your scan, v. Pleased for you that all is well.

wiggle at least you don?t show DP the contents of the toilet bowl/toilet paper ? mine has been forced to examine them with me!! Bless him, he?s overcoming his squeamishness too!

Hello to MA, Izzy,jolls, hairy, choccy, brook, sfb, sarahmia, battery, tigger, pinkie, cheepz and anyone else I?ve probably missed! It?s so busy in here now!

Right, off to sort out the washing machine and dishwasher, and head to bed! Night all xx

nickstermum · 05/09/2010 22:04

dachs MEN! says it all, but i quite like tiggers reply!

Beans on toast?
2 under 5 - smiley faces!!
ask DH to swing by for Pizza on his way home!

YROTB WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!
Heres everything crossed for a little implantation! I was like that last time, i saw the doc at day 40, referred for testing for hormones as cycles had gone WTF, not realising preg, got spotting day 42 and BFP on day 43 so it could be your lucky month - HOPE SO!!

Caribou Ah im so sorry you had such a hideously public
meltdown. You obsviously needed to do it tho- sod everyone asking questions! You are perfectly entitled to cry as much as you want to. I bet you are feeling tons better now :) Chin up toots x

getawiggleon · 05/09/2010 22:04

Welcome jamface and sorry to hear about your losses. I hope your cycles settle down soon. I'm still waiting for AF after ERPC on 17th Aug and have heard that acupuncture/ reflexology can be good for regulating cycles etc so I'm going to give these a try.

Caribou sorry you had such a tough day at work on Fri. Just when you think you're doing ok and have got a grip on things something hits you and bam, you're back to where you were a month ago. Big hugs for you. Does your colleague know what you've been through? I hope she's sensitive o your situation.

YRMOTB I grew up in Baildon! Live in London now though but know Shipley v well!

nickstermum · 05/09/2010 22:13

Hey wiggles

Fondant crossed posts!
I missed everyone too! Cyber stalker! I was frantically trying to do it via phone byt the goddammn crackberry wouldnt let me! Yes - what is it with shameless on campsites?!? I love camping but the fact i cannot sleep really fucks me off! Then you have the awkward glances the next morn over cooked breakfast as you have been the ones shouting for them FFS STFU, in more polite words than that! Grin

Anyway, No i didnt do expectant management, it came away naturally. Started to bleed lightly, then severe for 7 hours straight (sack clots etc etc etc) the back again to light period. Bleed comes and goes. Was re-scanned 7 days after initial scan and there were just a few little clots left. Not sure i dont have an infection. Sex was painful, and i want to get checked out to rule anything out. Will also get re-checked if keep getting sporadic bleed.

PinkFondantFancy · 05/09/2010 22:20

nickster more polite than that?? They are exactly the words that come to my mind at the time :) super strength earplugs are in my standard camping stuff pile-come in handy when the kids start screaming in the morning too (other peoples' that is before you worry!!!) :)

Freezingmyarseoff · 05/09/2010 22:39

Hi I just wanted to say to Sarahmia how sorry I am to hear your very sad news. Please take care of yourself.

sarahmia · 05/09/2010 22:43

thanks to you all... This is a really shit time.

Tigger I dont have the CAT facility but i would like to be in contact with you.

tigger15 · 05/09/2010 23:09

Sarah if you go to mymumsnet, log in with your email address, then go to private profile and email options you can contact me or allow me to contact you.

I'd rather not post my emails which are all real name ones or phone numbers on a public forum. Much though I love everyone on this thread I know the power of google and would rather not out myself to all who can use the internet.

sarahmia · 05/09/2010 23:45

Ok will do

tigger15 · 06/09/2010 08:35

It still says

"Sorry, sarahmia has chosen not to receive "Contact another Mumsnetter" email from mumsnet. We can't pass a message on for you.
If you wish, post a message on talk requesting that sarahmia revise this on the email options page. Or ask them to send a C-A-M message to you. "

MamaPower · 06/09/2010 08:45

look what we have here...

mr fish, ready and waiting to be used!! btw given up symptom spotting because there are actually none to spot and so I am just waiting for af!! Burst into tears this morning on dh, blubbing about how it was never gonna happen! Oh dear! feel free to use mr fish on me!! Have a good day all x

Morning all x

Just wanted to send all my love to sarahmia - to go through what we've been through once is bad enough, but I can't begin to comprehend it happening again. I hope the counselling helps you honey - I'm sending you lots of love, light and strength.

Viv xx

Jamface · 06/09/2010 09:41

Morning all,
I hope today goes OK caribou. If it's any consolation I'm sure that many of us have been in a similar situation. I've realised this year how grief is not a linear process at all. You think you have reached a certain stage of more gentle sadness and recovery and suddenly something happens and BANG all of the raw grief from the start is back as strong as ever.

Today I have raging PMT, which is a bit of a double whammy as not only does it mean I'm not pregnant it also means I am feeling slightly psychotic, which is not a good way to start the week! Hmm
Getawiggle I also have acupuncture this evening and am hoping it'll help get my cycle slightly more back to normal.
Anyway, best get on, have a good Monday everyone!
