Resipsa I'm a week behind in the midwives programme - literally just watched last weeks one with the poor/rich divide. Sobbed when the 18 year old who didn't want the baby kissed it on delivery and looked so amazed Smile

resipsa · 21/08/2012 22:52

Oh dear, probably time for sleep. Meant to post on other thread (BFP in 2012) where people are feeling down. Here everyone seems OK and long may it continue.

kittykatsforever · 21/08/2012 22:54

Oh and I want to go nosey at kicks threads now lol
I only frequent the TTC threads and mc but I find I'm on here enough, what your describing is all dayers surley Shock

kittykatsforever · 21/08/2012 22:55

Resipia you are on that thread lol
Definatly time for bed Smile

resipsa · 21/08/2012 22:55

Definitely losing it; this is the BFP 2012 thread! Meant to post on Sept one. Time for zzzzzz.

Lolcbcb · 21/08/2012 22:59

Red you and I caved in. I also had bfn this morning! Sad
I struggle to keep up on these threads only. Can't imagine being all over MN. Maybe that was the new job she mentioned? Grin
I'm off to bed too. Hope tomorrow brings good news to some of us. I won't poas again till sat now (I had all this resolve last time and look where I ended. So much for self control Blush) - so maybe af will come before then?
Night all x

winkle2 · 21/08/2012 23:38

Lol I nosied at Kicks threads too. There were loads!

Its prob cause she was off work and bored - its easy to get sucked in.

resipsa · 22/08/2012 08:24

DD obviously heard about my need for those zzzzs; she decided 1-3am was playtime. Anyone know how to sleep at work with your eyes open?
Quick quetion about EPO to resident expert (who will accept the challenge to replace Kick?). Does it tend to have an effect almost immediately. Took some on Monday and yesterday and today, well, it's copious!

resipsa · 22/08/2012 08:25

BTW a quetion is really a queStion.

redstrawberry · 22/08/2012 08:54

Lol kitty thanks... I was trying so hard to not SS.
tbh I haven't had any symptoms except sore boobs. No twinges or pulls.

My hopeful side really wants this sore boob action to be something good.
But my sensible side is telling me AF is about to arrive.

BFN this morning too. Was wishing there was a faint line... but after 15mins of squinting at 5.30am I gave up and accepted it was a stark white negative.

res not sure - in a prev cycle I took EPO from the day I started my period and in my fertile period it didnt make much difference - it was same as before.

resipsa · 22/08/2012 09:05

Thanks red. Last time I got a BFP, the sore boobs were the only giveaway...

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 22/08/2012 09:28

resipsa I could have predicted your dd would have had a bad night. Mine was up for hours too. (so tired so very very tired).

18 month sleep regression strikes, I fear. We're used to a straight 13 hours Confused.
In an idle moment, just worked out that IF it happened this month, as well as BFP on my birthday, bubs due date would be our 13th wedding anniversary. I've said it before, I'll say it again - if my life were a film, we'd be spending the anniversary on the delivery suite...

resipsa · 22/08/2012 11:07

Oh and there's the fact that two days after my birthday we're going away on holiday to the same place we went two years ago two days after I'd got my BFP with DD. I wish that I believed in fate!

How're you all today?

winkle2 · 22/08/2012 11:21

I had sore boobs last month but it didn't amount to anything :(

weechops · 22/08/2012 11:27

resipsa I totally believe in fate. My mum always had a saying 'what's for you won't go by you' and I like to think it's true. I mean, how shit would it be for me to be all alone on my birthday as dh is working away, and have no bfp to make me happy. Surely fate wouldn't be so cruel as to give me a bfn for my birthday present :)

kittykatsforever · 22/08/2012 11:35

I believe in fate too, that would be lovely!!
(fate has been pissing me off of late though Hmm)

StormBird · 22/08/2012 11:36

Sorry for the BFN's and the AF arrivals!! Keep your chins up there's still hope, I'm routing for you all.

I saw the Midwives programme resipsa it was amazing. I am classed as High Risk when PG and it was great to see what other High Risk women go through on their PG journeys and I'm so please for all the happy endings. However, I did want to grab 17yr old Mary by the shoulders and shake her and shout ' DO YOU NOT REALISE HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS, JUST DO WHAT THEY SAY YOU SILLY GIRL' . Urgh, glad I got that off my chest LOL.

resipsa · 22/08/2012 11:55

Storm, yeah, I know, thought Gretta was a wee bit soft especially after M had revealed what happened to her baby brother Sad. If you remenbered something like that and were told to come in to hospital, you'd just go, surely (and not discharge yourself early!)? Boyfriend was funny, too. Way, way too cool - until he saw the baby then blubbed!

resipsa · 22/08/2012 11:59

Weechops which b'day is it for you? Please don't say 2 (or similar) or I'll feel the need to cry myself Grin.

resipsa · 22/08/2012 12:11

I meant 25!

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 22/08/2012 12:21

fate has been pissing me off lately Grin

redstrawberry · 22/08/2012 12:58

me too Angry pissed off with fate big time.
I thought I'd be pregnant on holiday
I thought I'd be pregnant for my birthday
I thought I'd be pregnant before fathers day
I thought I'd be pregnant before my mum's bday

The number of times I thought I'd like to announce it on fathers day, tell my mum shes a nan. And I came so close to it last month. Don't feel like planning ahead anymore.

People at my work are already discussing Christmas do's :( :( I just wanna say stop saying "Christmas" I don't know if i will even be pregnant by then?!

winkle2 · 22/08/2012 13:07

I thought I'd be pregnant for Xmas 2011
Then my birthday in Jan
Mothers Day
Then for our first wedding anniversary in April
Fathers' Day
My mum's birthday?

The list goes on

Life sucks

StormBird · 22/08/2012 13:09

I've got a couple of Fate stories (or whatever you want to call it so I shall share (if you don't mind)

Firstly I met my DP on a girlie holiday in 2006 (he was on a boys holiday.....nuff said) I met him on my 2nd day of a 2wk holiday and he was going home 2 days later. The day he went home we said goodbye and I said to my friend - 'one day I'll marry that boy'. We had exchanged numbers and kept in contact for the duration of my holiday. When I flew back I couldn't wait to speak to him, my uncle picked me up from the airport and took me back to his house where my auntie did all my washing as I fell asleep on a sunlounger in the garden (hungover!) Anyway, my auntie came outside and said 'there's something banging around in the washing machine' so I said 'don't worry it'll just be a flip flop'. Well it wasn't - it was MY FRICKING PHONE!!!!! After realising this I pulled the phone out of the washing and dismantled it in the hope I could dry it out in the sun. I was secretly beside myself cos I had no other way of contacting my DP, I didn't have an address for him and I didn;t know his phone number. So after I decided it was dry enough I put the phone back together and as I did he rang............and the rest is history

The second story is that on the 9th November 2010 I was having a very bad day - it was meant to be my first babies due date and that night I decided to talk to him/her and let him/her know that I was ready now to let go and that although what happened was sad I understood that there was a reason and that tomorrow I would have a lovely day and would start over but I wouldn't forget. The next day i felt ridiculously happy and that afternoon my phone beeped up to remind me that it was infact my test day and low and behold I got a BFP

Is that fate? I dunno but I second Weechops Mum 'what's for you won't go by you'

Sorry for the long post, just thought you might appreciate the above :)
