gosh whats happened here, you watch silent witness..............
Nic -god how awful, love to all your family i cant imagine the heart ache
lol - im sorry, i had a really good feeling for you, lets hope its just too early and your ov was out abit, nime was well over a week late

NicolaHazel · 21/08/2012 07:33

I just had a quick look at the thread we shouldn't post on. It was very dull. I didn't stay. Or feel the need to post, ha ha!

Thanks, kitty, it's so hard for Dylan's parents / immediate family. My heart is breaking thinking about them all and their suffering.

Last night was a bit odd. But to be honest, a banning for someone is the least of my concerns right now, to be honest. As a mod on another board, I tend to think that nobody gets banned for no reason.

NicolaHazel · 21/08/2012 07:35

Oops...too many 'to be honest's in there.

Lolcbcb · 21/08/2012 07:42

Agree. Last night was random.
Well I am in the wtf cycle so not really sure where I am. Was expecting af sun/mon but nothing still. I think I am 16dpo if I got this right which means it would have been positive by now.
Oh well. Ill wait till sat now and see if af comes.
Nic how close are u to them? Must be awful for you. Really really awfully sad.
Thank u for the lovely comments girls. Off to work in monster branch Sad

kittykatsforever · 21/08/2012 08:05

Nici agree your story really it brings it home how trivial little things are
ive not looked at the other thread but I have seen others where kick has been in massive rows with others and i must admit she has on occasion said things which have really wound me up but I dont like confrontations if I can help it so I dont bite, I think there must have been more to it though, itl certainly be quiet without her!
lol- ill keep my fingers crossed for you i was positive it was over for me testing
as it got later and later but we really dont know whats going on inside or when we ov for definate x

NicolaHazel · 21/08/2012 08:05

Really close to his grandfather, grandmother and aunt. Not as close to his parents, but that's partly through distance.

I'd only met Dylan as a baby, and I feel really guilty for that too.

But of my dad's side of the family, they are my closest relatives and are my good friends too.

Fx for later in the week, Lol.

swimmingnotdrowning · 21/08/2012 08:34

nic - I don't know what to say. I'm so sorry. I felt sick reading the story before you said that it was in your family - it seems like one of those split second moments that nobody could have changed and every parent has nightmares about. I hope that your family is able to bury him and that the media allows space to grieve.

swimmingnotdrowning · 21/08/2012 08:39

And getting / kick - you will be missed, very much. I was wondering if you were ok yesterday in your absence! Your sensible contributions were the reason that I joined MN in the first place and I really appreciated your willingness to get stuck into the medical journals and to share what you learned. There is a real risk that this many ladies ttc will just wind each other up with well-meaning old wives' tales - if your knowledge or opinions wound people up in a different way then as long it's not unkind, so be it!

And, for the record, I want to be pregnant, barefoot and in the kitchen (I read your post with nothing on my feet, in my kitchen and plainly I wouldn't be on a ttc board if I didn't want to be pregnant!). I am spartacus.

swimmingnotdrowning · 21/08/2012 08:40

And Smile at OlympiaMumsnet's eyebrows!

weechops · 21/08/2012 09:07

Nic I'm so terribly sorry for you and your family xx

Lol sorry for the bfn. Maybe just a bit too early to test?

Well I'm still waiting for my smiley face on opk. I think I'm due to ov on thursday as that's cd16 of 30 day cycle. Hoping so anyway since dh is away back offshore Thursday night for 2 weeks! At least he won't be here for my obsessive 2ww :)

resipsa · 21/08/2012 09:28

Last night was odd, indeed. Personally, I am always wary of people who insist on telling you the "truth" (particularly when you haven't asked for it) as if only their version of it is valid. Deep down, we all know that a lot of crap is spoken on these TTC threads but we're all adults and can choose what to believe/not believe for ourselves.
Back to business...newbie?

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 21/08/2012 09:33

Hi nic how are the family today? Was thinking of you last night.

I had a look at the thread kick posted. It was deletion city so no idea what was going on there. Seemed to be mixed opinions on whether she should have been deleted.

Has anyone else ever had a message deleted? I haven't (yet).

OP posts:
WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 21/08/2012 09:36

Totally forgot to say sorry for the BFN lol it is a bit early so I still have my fx.

Friend of mine tested negative 5 days after missed period, she is about 10 weeks now.

OP posts:
Lolcbcb · 21/08/2012 09:40

I agree. I tend to think something must have been said to cause all this for kick.
It was a clear bfn but it's not over until af comes. Don't feel pmt but who knows? Still itchy boobs...

redstrawberry · 21/08/2012 09:46

Sorry about the bfn lol hope you don't have to wait in limbo land for long.

Yes last night was odd, but I will for sure miss kick on the TTC threads. After a year's worth of TTC and all that research she was able to share what she had learnt in her ttc journey, and I appreciated it. Sometimes it was harsh and not what you want to hear, but at least it was no beating around the bush and upfront honesty. The way I see it, I have the choice to ignore a lot of the stuff that doesn't make sense on TTC threads, and everyone is entitled to their opinions :)

So...any hoooooww...I am on 10dpo and BFN again today (cudn't resist testing) so decided to give up all hope for August. Roll on Sep.

redstrawberry · 21/08/2012 09:47

And no when haven't had a message deleted yet either :)

NicolaHazel · 21/08/2012 09:57

I'm in agreement with resipsa. Kick totally misread one of my posts last week and gave me a patronising lecture in response. Not really appreciated or called for.

I'm all for a pragmatic approach to TTC (where possible!) but EVERYONE is different when pregnant. Even between pregnancies for one person. So as far as I'm concerned, there is no absolute truth. And even if there was, I wouldn't want it rammed in my face every 5 minutes.

When, my family is devastated and totally shocked. We need him back.

Thank you all again for your support.

resipsa · 21/08/2012 10:06

Oh Nic his little smiling face was on the front of the papers on the train this morning. This kind of tradgedy makes everyone take stock, I think.

Kittenkatzen · 21/08/2012 10:30

Holy christmas did the whole world go mad last night???

nic I am so so sorry for your family's loss, it is beyond tragic and I can't imagine how you all must be feeling. Certainly puts trivial online arguments into perspective :( hugs for you all from chez kitten, I really hope they find little Dylan very soon.

lol and red sorry for the bfn's, although it's early days for you both still, don't give up hope just yet it'll just make next cycle seem that much longer

All very odd about kick being banned, she certainly was very forthright with her views, but I couldn't see anything on that linked thread that was remotely ban-worthy. Oh well.

when I've never had a post deleted....but then I don't think I've been brave enough to get stuck in to any proper bun fights just yet!

swimmingnotdrowning · 21/08/2012 10:35

fx for weechops ov - it must be hard for anyone ttc when OH is working offshore.

swimmingnotdrowning · 21/08/2012 10:36

And Holy Christmas! is an expression that I just have to start using! Thanks kitten.

Kittenkatzen · 21/08/2012 10:38

:o you can thanks Mr Kitten for that little gem!

redstrawberry · 21/08/2012 10:46

Grin at Holy Christmas!!

Thanks kitten don't know but for the first time in 4months I am contemplating what if I can't get pregnant? DH keeps telling me to think positive but its hard when you get smacked by BFNs and AF constantly.

NicolaHazel · 21/08/2012 10:52

That is an awesome expression!

resipsa · 21/08/2012 11:01

Red don't know if it helps at all (and tell me to shut up and go away if not) but it took us 12 months the first time round (DD) and 5 months the second (m/c). All random so far as I am concerned as nothing notable about the "successful" months. Positive thinking is one of those things it's easier to say than do and easier to do some days more than others.
