BFP in 2012 Part 2 - step away from the COD and into this thread.

[WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid]

We filled the last one so I thought I would start no 2.

Trouble is the Internet says virtually anything is bad when preg. I think I read somewhere that camomile tea was a no no. I paid no attention to this.

swimming just as others have said no harm in ordering it for now, if you are preggers you can phone in advance and change the options / pretend allergy :)

I haven't tested anymore and was very down yesterday. Cried bucketfuls and very depressed. Let it all out. Now I am not bothered by it. I don't think I have an ounce of optimism left. I am expecting AF to arrive and I will be expecting AF to arrive on time every month.

Can't cope with watching bumps everywhere around me. It would have been a little better if people didn't keep announcing pregnancies. Not because I am jealous of their news, I just always wanted to be pregnant at the same time as friends - be on maternity leave at the same time - join the same mother/baby groups. And now all of them are due at the beginning of the year and still no sight of a BFP for me.

So I have decided....screw TTC and book a holiday and not wait for it to happen. Might be on here a bit less than usual.

Sorry to hear that red we will miss you if you go, but I understand
A Holliday is the best idea and enjoy everything you know will be a distant memory when you have your bubs
Try not to get too down by it all, as I've said before one of my best friends was on her second pregnancy while we started trying together originally but when I did get pg I met another girl who has become one of my best friends at our anti natel class and she has been brilliant through the last few months much better then my other friends so there are positive things that can come from different circumstances
Love and hugs to you

Oh red bigs hugs to you, sorry things are so crappy . Its so easy for it all to get too much with the daily symptom spotting and monthly crashes. I think you're right, a lovely relaxing holiday and two fingers up at TTC could be just what you need.

when you're right, I think a healthy dose of common sense should be taken into account with these things. It's not hard to work out where the "big" risks are (rare meat/raw fish and eggs/mouldy cheeses). Over and above the main things I think you'd probably find its possible to infer a tiny risk into pretty much anything. And life must go on!

thanks kitty i'm so sorry for getting the thread down. I guess I will one day look back on it and think nothing of it. But right now life feels so cruel and unfair.

I hope I find a good friend like you did at the ante-natals. Lately though it is like someone up there is having a good laugh at me. my best mate falls pregnant by accident, I get bfns then a cp and then bfns again, DH has to go away longer days for work, I have been roped in to plan baby showers for most of the bumps and then if that wasn't enough I met a mum who's a really bad parents (not feeding her children and starving them for hours) I am not sure how much more I can take.

red sorry you are had such a shocker yesterday. I too tend to feel better once I have cried it all out.

I know it all feels so unfair and cp just knocks the stuffing out of you. Have a good holiday.

I sat through a meeting yesterday where someone announced they had had a pregnancy terminated. Some days it is all just too difficult so no apology necessary red. Please keep lurking. It is a bumpy road but it is better with company and we value yours.

Red sorry you're feeling crappy. Don't worry too much about your friends going first. Like kitty said, you meet loads of people in ante/post natal groups anyway + cause the babies are the same age, they get it. 1.5 yrs on I am part of a group of about 15 with babies born within 6 weeks or so. We meet up regularly, with and without the babies! Great friends are waiting to meet you in due course.

Afternoon all.
Just checking in. Its sooo hard to keep up. Have had a quick flick thru the last few days. Have been loving the erm, plots for the new film. I REALLY want to be in it. Iv always had a feeling I was meant to be famous, im just waiting to be discovered. I could play the lovely midwife, (looking like Kate Beckinsale - with a LOT of make up and soft focus) struggling to conceive due to misbehaving bits, and I could deliver the babies only to find out im also up the duff.

Sorry your feeling crap red It sometimes really gets to you. Ive found more lows than highs in the last 20 months of it. It should be fun. Its shit that sometimes it just isnt. Can your DP whisk you off somewhere nice for a night?

resipsa Do you think we could patent some sort of pregnant women blinkers so that you just dont see them, anywhere!!

Hi Ladies...you can't half talk. And I've been too busy at work to look properly.

So sorry people are feeling down about everything. TTC can be totally shit :-(

I'm glad it is a long weekend this week. Though I'll have to work on one of the days. Thankfully on the sofa in my Jim jams! :-)

Yeay for the long weekend!!!
I've got the best advice anyone will ever give you so are you listening..........

Life is sometimes very shit
Life is often not fair
Alcohol is very helpful
Alcohol let's you be miserable and does make you feel better
Alcohol IS your friend

Kitty, your resident alcoholic signing in for Friday night x

Hmmm...alcohol. I have a lovely cold Peroni sitting by my side. 2 x 500ml bottles for 3 quid in Asda. That'll do nicely.

I'm expecting to be asleep on the sofa by 10!

I've just had a pizza and a beer. AND I have donuts for desert. Then I'll lounge and relax for 3 days. DH away this wkd so will have girly night sun.
Bought EPO today. That is one fat pill! Does anyone take it?

Pass the donuts lolcbcb --are they KKs?

nicola alcohol makes me sleepy too. I'm also a lightweight

Good song kitty

got one chocolate covered and one cream filled. Did my whole chopping at tesco as excuse

My local tescos doesn't sell them which I think is a good thing cause i'd get fatter--

Loving the alcohol advice kitty. Was out with dp last nite and had a bit of a head this morn. But its the wkend so it would b just plain rude not to have a bit of wine 2nite.

Lolc. I'm on the epo. They're like squishy horse pills. I was taking 2 or e of those bad boys with the clomid.

Dirty wkend with dp booked for a couple of wks time. Yey!

Have a good bank hol everyone. Any1 doing something exciting?

Ribs I read something in that first paragraph completely wrong first time. I will tell you it involved the word head and I though you won't get pg that way lol
Ummmmm dognuts, I love kk but to me the plain glazed are by far superior!
Good bank Holliday girls I've got a 1 year olds party to organise eeekkk

kitty and ribs I wouldn't fancy that with a hangover.

Thanks everyone for your kind words.i am taking you up on the alcohol advice kitty x

RIBS I cause myself injury without blinkers so God knows the damage I could do with them. Strongly agree that alcohol a friend in these times (at the end of an excellent night out).

And Red I know where you're coming from re bad parents. Took DD into city this afternoon for tea. Saw endless Mums smoking over prams and/or feeding little ones McDs (when Boots with pre-packed sarnies and fruit is next door). Either that or kids stuck in prams and being ignored completely. Sigh.

I thought I was overrun with bumps and buggies today at lunchtime until I noticed that one of the buggies was actually a sort of dog pram with an elderly mongrel / terrier type in it which gave me a fit of the giggles!

That didn't read well, did it.

Sounds like your as clumsy as I am @resipsa. I'm permanently full of bruises.

Some of my friends will often go out and get legless. And I don't just mean have a couple, and take their kids. The older ones have to look after the younger ones. I can't do it. It's shocking how some people behave with their kids.

How are u feeling today red? Hope the wine helped
I'm having a very lazy day. Planning to stay in pj for the whole day.
What's everyone else up to?
