A very friendly and supportive thread for those taking way longer than they had ever expected to make a baby.

buzzy a 40-something who has just had a lap, I think...

mrsden · 21/02/2013 21:07

How do you know? Confused

buzzybee123 · 21/02/2013 21:07

ha ha lemon we'd all be a bit Shock if she had and was pregnant, come on ladies which thread

OP posts:
lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 21/02/2013 21:08

I don't know. I just suspect. Based on title and nelly's feeling of being duped.

buzzybee123 · 21/02/2013 21:10

ah have found it

OP posts:
MuddyWellyNelly · 21/02/2013 21:13

Here

I hadn't actually seen any of the posts that were removed on our thread, so it didn't quite hit the alarm bells. But I did wonder about the bump bump bump. Anyway thought I'd be nice, but I suppose I was a bit less encouraging than I might have been so I guess something was bugging me?

Doll pm'd me to tell me! I checked her name, it's new as of today. She appears to be on the Elderberry thread and they all know it's her, which is kind of confusing me.

buzzybee123 · 21/02/2013 21:13

oh nelly you are too kind, I did Grin at the bump comment

OP posts:
mrsden · 21/02/2013 21:17

But did she Dtd the day after the lap?

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 21/02/2013 21:23

Having done a bit of research I suspect not. She told the sausagers the first 2 days after lap were incredibly painful, esp with the gas...

EuroShaggleton · 21/02/2013 21:23

Art yes, it is in honour of the current BESH theme so will probably be quite short lived! I fancied a name change. I was going to go for something completely different, but this was suggested and seemed rather fitting.

My boobs have already grown a bit. I'm still wearing my usual bras but my cup is starting to overflow! I am concerned about the deflated balloon effect in future.... How many weeks are you now? All my work clothes are very fitted. I also carry all weight on my belly, so I think I am going to struggle to hide quite early.

Today the tiredness hit. I hadn't really had any, despite not sleeping much. After lunch today I almost curled up under my desk for a nap.

BTW, I hope nobody minds me mentioning symptoms on here. I am not doing it to flaunt it, but more to reassure myself that something seems to be going on. But if it bothers people, of course I will stop.

Welcome kellie. I've been a part of this thread for more than a year and a half and I have found it a great support.

nelly I'm off to investigate...

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 21/02/2013 21:24

The research also told me why they recognised her on that fred, she gave really clear hints about her two most recent incarnations.

buzzybee123 · 21/02/2013 21:28

sausagers ? which thread is this on

OP posts:
MuddyWellyNelly · 21/02/2013 21:38

Yes lemon the thing that confused me is they clearly know - it was a deliberate pointing out, but they seem to like her anyway? Weird??

Anyway, I think one or two of you should go on the new thread and start asking whether she felt up to sex after the lap, all innocently of course Wink.

euro I for one don't mind. I like it. But I do sort of sit here with this >>> Confused expression when you all mention this alien concept whereby you have something growing inside you.....

MuddyWellyNelly · 21/02/2013 21:40

It's the Elderberry Pavlovas thread Buzzy - she seems to be a regular poster, and "joined" today under her new name, made it obvious who it was.

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 21/02/2013 21:41

I don't mind in the slightest either euro. I am having some trouble getting my head round your diffage, so maybe the symptoms will convince me!

buzzybee123 · 21/02/2013 21:42

they are welcome to her :)

OP posts:
mrsden · 21/02/2013 21:48

I suspect she will be reading here, so hello.

Euro, I don't mind. It's weird for me to hear about symptoms and bumps and things because it's like another world to me. Not sure if that makes sense.

Just had another bloomin pregnancy annoucnement, in a group email complete w ith scan photos. It's not an a* one, but scores quite high on the it shouldn't be their turn before mine scale. Not together of married that long, younger than me etc. I know they started trying in August and she's already 12 weeks. Sigh.

mrsden · 21/02/2013 21:49

Joy, I'm sorry this is still full of uncertainty for you. Surely it's positive that the heartbeats are still going strong though?

rabbitonthemoon · 21/02/2013 21:56

Posting in bed with hare suspiciously close so this will not be an especially name checking thread and will catch v soon as I have a bit of time off this weekend! Yay!!!!

pout lovely keep going one foot in front of the other, I am thinking about you.

joy I'm so sorry you are still not in a position of any more clarity. But heartbeats is good and glad Roy is taking the calls. Hang in there.

euro is it totally bizarre that I liked hearing about your cups!!? Chat away about how you are doing, it is a big deal and hard earned. And you understand. So you get a permanent 10 plus wristband

gin how is the evil disease? I remember I got potters antitis from holland and barrat and it seemed to do something?

So what a load of shite the ivf thread was, thanks MN for 'canvassing opinions' as if you didn't already know what they would be Hmm. It always goes like this

Condemn the barrens for living so wantonly and Putting it Off!
Ivf isn't a illness!
There's too many people in the planet! (own kids of course are not included)
Lower the age!
Bob down the shops and adopt, there's a dear.

Blah. It kind of appals me to read such uninformed judgey posts with no sense of other perspectives or criticality. Who are these women that 'deliberately' put it off? We don't live in isolation from our partners or lack of them, or health or circumstance. But I won't give that thread any words of mine. So I bunged them here! I'm not even that emotionally affected by it. It has resurfaced about 4 times since I started using MN. There is nothing new to say and the guidelines are just that.

I am not in the tent anymore. GP was good and kind and understanding. She took a while not really that long to conceive herself which helped to hear. I potentially have some thyroid issues as my last tests were v borderline. I could do without this being true as it sounds like a ballache to put right but if it explains my feeling crappy it would be useful. But really she thinks I have post viral stuff which is what it is I suppose. She felt that I should try IUI first with clomid. Agh! She said the bleeding might indicate weak ovulation? So, I am going to pay for a 2nd opinion at some point but mostly I'm not hurrying into anything until I'm sure. If is start ivf not being ready, i think that would not pan out well. Pelvic scan next week. It had better not reveal a mammoth fibroid, I'm not being cut open for anything or anyone again so that would be game over.

Luffs to everyone, will endeavour to keep up a bit now. My job has sucked the life it of me for too long. I'm glad it's nearly spring.

EuroShaggleton · 21/02/2013 21:58

Thanks ladies. Tell me shut up if I over do it.

mrsd I still feel like it is happening to someone else. Hence the efforts to convince myself. Sorry to hear about the announcement. I wish ttc obeyed a very English fair queuing system, with everyone getting their win in fair turn.

rabbitonthemoon · 21/02/2013 22:00

Ah poo about the announcement mrsden but you know this could so well be your year for making yours, I feel it in my water! I don't think ill ever make an announcement if I ever get diffed. It will be on a need to know basis until I'm so fat it's obvious. I want to be round and bump fat!

mrsden · 21/02/2013 22:06

Are your waters well known for making predictions that come true? I hope so rabbit. I feel the same about you, and everyone on here. There's not too many of us unduffed left. The year of the snake is our lucky one. Wouldn't it be fab for us all to graduate arou d the same time?

I know I will never make an annoucnement. I'm pretty certain that I'll opt for an amnio, be ause of the risks from ivf so I don't think I'll tell anyone before those results. I'm not sure how possible that is, all depends on how sick or big I get.

rabbitonthemoon · 21/02/2013 22:19

I kind of felt certain princess would get her autumn bfp? And I thought doll was pregnant! And people on here who meet me seem to get diffed very quickly indeed, of you fancy a trip back. I charge the cost of my lunch Grin

ThatWayMadnessLies · 21/02/2013 22:37

Evening all,

Just popping in to say that I am still here and trying to keep up with you all. Had a rather unplanned visit to the tent over the last few days. Having some uncomfortable fecking itchy side effects from the drugs that have me down. Don't think it's thrush but will have to make another trip to the gp to rule it out. Keep hearing the consultant's words - evidence if chronic infection - and imagining my freshly repaired tube being covered in scar tissue and adhesions Sad. To top it off ex boyfriend who couldn't hold a candle to MrM of course has just had baby number two and plastered it all over Facebook. Don't even ask why I am still friends with ex..........

Talk of previous interlopers did bring a wry smile to my face. Sorry for the duping nelly, but well done doll for warning quickly. The other thread know and like her because she hasn't turned on them yet. Give her time Smile. Ooooh these drugs are making me tetchy.

euro please do share. You give me hope xx

rabbit ivf articles are not helping the mood. Sitting reading loads of comments by people telling me that i shouldn't be a parent is slightly disheartening. Need to just block it all out for now.

pout you have my heartfelt commiserations with the downregging. I have to stop the hrt in a few days so that it's all out of my system for ivf. I am dreading the return if full on menopause symptoms.

joy I am thinking of you xx

Big waves to everyone else and apologies for the very selfish post. I shall swing back to the positive and will make sure to catch up over the weekend.

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 22/02/2013 08:18

Sorry for the unscheduled trip to the tent madness. It is rubbish. And getting ready for IVF will be equally exciting and unpleasant with the side effects.

Keep going pout you are doing really well.

I feel like a train drove over me last night, I'm so full of cold and coughs. So I am having a very slow day working from home...
