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

Buzz I'm now wondering where you are. I would also change at Green Park coming from Knightsbridge...

I hope the head isn't too hurty this morning and you are enjoying your bonus pretty fleurs. Grin

What a very unpleasant person you are. You were offered a lot of support here as viv. No one on this thread deserves your unbalanced vitriol.

ThatWayMadnessLies · 24/02/2013 12:57

Euro. what happened? Just popped on to see your message and another one deleted Sad

akuabadoll · 24/02/2013 12:59

hi madness* a very good thing you didn't see it. I feel ill. Hi to all and happy Sunday.

EuroShaggleton · 24/02/2013 13:02

Madness it was a succession of nasty personal attacks aimed at people on this thread. All rather unpleasant.

Wassup doll? I hope the illness is not related to that post?

akuabadoll · 24/02/2013 13:04

Nothing euro only, indeed, reaction to message
I need to do a proper catch up soon.

ThatWayMadnessLies · 24/02/2013 13:12

Glad i did miss it then! Sorry you two had to see it xx

sweetgrouch · 24/02/2013 14:33

Glad I missed the unpleasantness of an internet troll. I joined this thread because you all seemed wonderful and very supportive.

buzzy - the due date was particularly rough for me because AF showed up, it was my birthday, there was a pregnancy announcement and my SIL who is a cow made comments about how I will never have kids. So it was a snowball of awfullness that was made worse because I am incredibly oversensitive right around the time my period starts - probably because of horomones. I have two spolied 7 year old kitties that have been with me for a long time. They think they are my babies

Sar- it took one of my friends 4 years to conceive and eventually did on her latest assisted cycle. Swimming at the coast sounds really nice.

Den- that?s great your boss made coffee. Mine took one of those seminars. Now he announces when he feels overwhelmed and uses his newfound communication skills as an excuse to be exceptionally difficult.(hmm) which I doubt was the point of the course.

I had a lovely weekend and went hiking in a wooded area, which is one of my favorite winter activities - it is nice and quiet. Big waves to everyone.

sweetgrouch · 24/02/2013 14:35

And there was an emoticon fail on my part.

Yay to rugby buzzy Grin. A very good cure for a hangover Wink. That said, MrM is not enjoying the fact that Ireland look to be f**king it up.....

Starting a new knitting project. Good for a Sunday afternoon, even if it does make me feel about 80 Blush.

sweet I can't believe that your sil said that. How incredibly insensitive. Some people do not think, do they?

Is it just me who is both happy not to have seen the nasty message while also immensely frustrated to not know what was said?

I am emerging from the tent. Still feeling a bit rough but only a few weeks until next clinic appointment so the end is in sight for downregging. Met some lovely babies the other day and didn't feel Envy in the way I used to. For that I am very grateful. Perhaps I will struggle again once the ivf journey is complete if things don't work out but I don't want people to feel awkward around me or me to feel upset by their happiness. Maybe I have turned a corner.

Thanks sar for your supportive message and to everyone else who offered reassurance.

Okay, back to my knitting. Maybe I will grab a blanket and put the fire on too Grin.

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 24/02/2013 15:52

Just sticking my head in, I have corned off a bit of the tent as a sick corner, as I have been boiling my eggs (thanks to three days of stabbing I have twinges both right and left) all weekend. I'll be off ill tomorrow still as I am running a reasonably high fever still.

Just wanted to say yay for the real sar emerging from the tent, that was an old-fashioned incredibly lovely post. Thanks for the support from the others as well - I might well light a candle and/or chat to the counsellor near the time again (it is in 2 months, so I have some miracle months still to go). Good luck with the last bit of down-regging pout. Grin at pished buzzy. Glad I missed it but still curious about the vivtriol. Very glad this fred is so incredibly nice generally.

buzzybee123 · 24/02/2013 16:00

madness& the rugby was great, I love it when gets down the last minute and it can go either way :)
what are you knitting, I am making myself so little slipper things, a patient who was well into her 80's gave me the pattern Grin

lemon sorry you are feeling unwell still,

At the risk of engaging with this..... I don't think anyone has a problem with namechanging, just with pretending that you are someone new and not telling people that they have known you in a different guise. I believe that you had done it before you joined us and it makes people question the honesty and sincerity of things that have been said. They may therefore lash out when they feel they have been deceived. If indeed your story is true, I hope that both you and your partner manage to remain sober in the face of addiction. Many generations of my family have struggled with alcohol addiction and it has led to eaarly deaths and and family breakdown.

Every thread is different and they appeal to different types of people. Paw-holding might be common here, and sausage wanging elsewhere. Each to their own.

To any newbies who may be lurking..... I hope that we come across as a supportive thread. Many of us have been here many years so there are in jokes and shared experiences and many of us are dealing with ivf, IUI, pregnancy, miscarriage and all of the emotional upheaval that goes with it. If you feel that we can help you, please do join us.

akuabadoll · 24/02/2013 16:29

Well said madness

EuroShaggleton · 24/02/2013 16:36

viv you were supported here, as any poster is, until you turned on us. Please get some help and leave this group of lovely ladies alone.

sarlat · 24/02/2013 16:55

Cant belive what has been happening. Did you all get pm's too? I went on the wangers thread to let them know as I am concerned people may be getting abusive messages but thought better of it.

Viv-I really did try to be your freind, I remember sending a long message to you the first time I met you on here to try and support you through a difficult patch with your partner. Please take a step back. It is a shame that you and I couldn't have supported one another as our lap results are very similar. But you are the common denominator here. It is you who has aliented yourself.

I am sorry if anyone here is upset, especially those that really need no exra stress right now.

buzzybee123 · 24/02/2013 17:16

oh dear I seem to missing it all as I've been ironing. My pm had been deleted so can't see what she said Hmm

viv I stand by all my comments, you don't deserve the support of all the amazing ladies on this thread.

madness and euro well said and much more polite and tactful than me :)

OP posts:
sweetgrouch · 24/02/2013 18:06

No pms on my part, but I joined a bit late.

I also missed the second round of the day. and am curious about what it was all about

Anyhow - you have all been quite nice about the whole thing.

I have to say madness and sar I wish I could knit Envy- I only sew badly.

Lemon - it's nice you're feeling better.

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 24/02/2013 18:21

Did she come back and PM us? Well thankyou MN for taking it down and PMs away. From what I gather she is truly and firmly turning on us, which is a shame and thoroughly undeserved, as we discussed after the last time she popped by and lashed out at us. I really don't get why she needs to, unless she does need serious help. If that is the case, I hope she goes and gets the help she needs for her, her partner's and possible children's sakes. But the thread is stronger than one unhinged person dropping in to insult us.

So I second madness invitation to newbies to come and join us if you think you would like a bit of support or information from an overly experienced group of long-term TTCers.

Waves and snotty hugs to you all, as it seems to have gotten very nasty and if this keeps on happening, I would favour a hide-away, but not just yet, because I think the thread can be of comfort or information for those only reading

ThatWayMadnessLies · 24/02/2013 18:32

Not to worry sweet, you're better off out of all that.

I don't knit terribly well, but am going to try to venture beyond things that are rectangular (scarves) or square (blankets) and try a little jumper this time. Several babies expected at work and amongst friends so I am sure I will have takers for anything that turns out ok Smile. I like sewing too but I can't do it in front of the telly so knitting is a better option for wintry nights.

Let's all move on and try not to let this episode put us all off.

buzzybee123 · 24/02/2013 18:34

its a pity MN online security isn't a little bit more robust to stop her coming on here again and again Hmm anyway enough time wasted on someone elses bitterness

I was going to sit down and enjoy my cuppa and choc bourbon only to find Kayla had eaten a corner of my biscuit Hmm is nothing sacred anymore :)

X post lemon. I hope becoming increasingly less snotty!
