Hi everyone, I'm taking a plunge and starting our folicking March bus off to a start.

OP posts:
Nordicmom · 27/02/2014 15:47

Thanks to u both . I've been crying feel so ill and hormonal

Nordicmom · 27/02/2014 15:49

Got to stop crying but can't , can't have my kids see me like this I've put my DS through enough in the years I tried to have dd and always worry what damage I might have cost him ...

Nordicmom · 27/02/2014 15:50

I can't see what they've said after the first two people because I hid the thread I don't want to know but someone nice sent a message

lindamagoo · 27/02/2014 15:52

Nordic please don't feel down, the response was a reflection of her negative attitude, we all have bad days but that was just nasty... Keep your chin up huni, we reap what we sow and all that Smile

mama31 · 27/02/2014 15:52

Nordic I hope you feel better soon. And do not let that thread get you down, it is simply not worth it x

mama31 · 27/02/2014 15:54

Nordic was it someone nice from that thread that msg you?? If so it's good to know there are some decent folk on there as well who don't agree with that lunatic who responded rudely to you!

PunkyPod · 27/02/2014 15:56

Wow hell of alot of negativity in that thread. What does BESH stand for btw?

Cd5 here now and AF is on her way out. Thank goodness, it was so heavy because it was a 6 week cycle after the MC. I had a chat withDH the other night and he agreed about the loss of the last pregnancy. It's so sad. I think he also 'gets' that I want to really go for it this cycle Wink Dont think he's too upset about that!!

Sararara I hope the spotting has stopped. Fingers crossed for a stronger line.

spinningirl10 · 27/02/2014 16:03

Nordic....the response on that thread is shocking, there is absolutely no excuse to be so rude. Please stay here with us and share the ups and downs of ttc where we all help and support each other xx

lindamagoo · 27/02/2014 16:08

Just asked my lo's how they would feel if mummy had another baby and my 4 yr old said he'd rather I had a meerkat, hmmmmm son it's not that SIMPLES, lol...

nosaint · 27/02/2014 16:23

Ello ello! Interesting to hear about your spotting, mama. I have the same problem, usually 5 days before af. Are you taking Cyclogest pessaries to help with it? I'm not because I am trying to keep it cool, I am sure getting anxious doesn't help me. Also tbh when my dp is moody and childish I have my doubts whether there is room for another baby around here!

I am just trying some healthy eating this month and taking vitamins, because I know my diet has been poor lately. I am enjoying splashing out on little healthy treats!

How is everyone today? Smile

gennibugs · 27/02/2014 16:27

Nordic don't be upset. I think every forum and thread has a different vibe and it's just about finding the correct one for you. Perhaps the lady was having a really bad day and took it out on you. Don't take it personally.

Everyone is so supportive on here so stay here with us. I'm going to hang around even if I do get AF this weekend because it's so luverly :)

SaRaRaRaRa · 27/02/2014 16:28

Genni, glad you have managed to get an appt quickly. How are you feeling this afternoon?

Nordic, sorry to hear you have encountered nastiness. Stay here with us, we'll look after you. Hope you managed a nap and that has helped. Give your DS a huge hug when you pick him up.

linda love the meerkat comment Grin

I am still spotting, mixture of red and brown. Am
Currently trying to hold my wee so I can POAS a bit later, want to see if the line is lighter/darker/same. Feel in real limbo but I have the tiniest bit of hope so I know if no line or if AF comes I'll be gutted. Will make doc appt in the morning if things don't go one way or the other tonight.

Had lunch with one of my best friends today, she has just got her BFP after 13 cycles. Due date is 5 days before mine would have been this cycle. Didn't tell her about my situation, wanted her to have her moment. Am
delighted for her Smile

ScoutFinchMockingbird · 27/02/2014 16:30

nordic nils illegitimi carborundum as they say.

I am feeling a bit naffed off today as after months of trying to persuade me to have #2, DH has suddenly gone all cold on the idea just as I had really committed to it. Typical eh?!

MrBsMrsB · 27/02/2014 16:57

Hey Ladies, lets all keep positive and not allow the negative view that other get us down. Each to their own and I like the positive approach to everything. In my humble opinion, it makes getting through life alot easier

I see that we are coming to the end of this thread - so who wants do the honours of creating a new one??

I'll post the stats as soon as the thread is created.

Also, I randomly saw a sperm analysis kit in Boots last week. Cost about £25. Just in case anyone is interested in doing some research before they get a doctors referral.

Got my conceive plus in the post last night. FX I get my BFP this month and wont have to use it till ttc#2 Ideally, it'll not have expired by then

Hi, I'm MrBsMrsB cd18, 6dpo, and feeling positive. I know my healthy bean will stick when he/she/they are healthy and my body is ready. And I cant wait for he/she/they to come Grin

Feels like AA

lindamagoo · 27/02/2014 17:07

Lol MrsB it is a little like aa Smile

Just realised what a mistake I've made with the timing of ordering ic tests! We had agreed no opk's and no tests until af was late this time, as I get a little obsessed, and they are going to come over the weekend when my oh is off work, arghhhhhhh! Oh well, he probably knows I'd never stick to that rule anyway Smile

sazzlehopes · 27/02/2014 17:25

So sorry that my rec to Shelly has turned into something horrid. I'm not defending the response it was pretty hardcore but yes different threads have different vibes and not all suit everyone. If that is their way if dealing with a shit time we are not to judge, BUT the response to you Nordic was full on and unecessary I agree. Phew. Anyway I will keep my head down and my input out of here for a while I think!

cth1982 · 27/02/2014 17:28

Nordic ignore the crazies over on the other board and stick with us!

Love the quote Mrs.B let's keep positive and bean making!!

Tigsy · 27/02/2014 17:35

Just checking in with you all. Was trying to stay away for a bit as been feeling a bit relaxed about things this month. Sadly, that state of mind has now gone and I'm back to poas like a crazy lady. 9 dpo so hardly surprisingly I've had BFNs!
Really shocked at the response you got Nordic- totally uncalled for! Stay here with us.
It's nearly March ladies and soon time for the bus to depart!

Nordicmom · 27/02/2014 17:54

Sazzle please stay , not your fault . I'm normally careful to post on new threads and always go back and read everything .I should have known better and protected myself . Of course I've seen all kinds of bitching going on the net before but have managed to keep out of it and generally be positive and never nasty to others . It's like bloody going back to Highschool. Anyway I've gotten over my upset although couldn't resist looking back at the thread and do have a few choice words but won't post them what's the point . I feel very sorry for anyone going through half of what I have inc carrying a dead baby inside myself for two months without knowing it when I hadn't fully miscarried .I don't get this bitter competitive misery . Life's full of shitty horrible stuff , people dying left and right , illness , divorce , infertility and on and on . I've had to fight to keep the will live to be honest and have had very dark thoughts when I was having one loss after another . I don't think i should be punished for the fact that I've finally managed to get to the end of it . Aaaargh anyway enough of that . Thanks for kind words to everyone and to the one that asked , I'm not sure if the private messenger was someone posting on the thread or a lurker might check that out later . I'll leave them to wallow and swear to their hearts content but I do wish them all the best nobody deserves that misery . I just can't handle the negativity I'm trying to keep afloat and not get depressed again I don't want to take any other medication besides the ones I'm on got the chronic illness so have to manage my downperiods in other ways .
Lets keep positive ladies it'll happen to all of us one way or another if we won't give up . Big hugs to you all :)!
Ps I think I needed that cry it was bottling up and haven't for a while ...

Choccywoccydodah · 27/02/2014 18:03

Nordic, have just looked. Check out the responses x

Sazzle, I wouldn't worry about it too much chicken, don't go anywhere my lovely!

Choccywoccydodah · 27/02/2014 18:04

What's BESH btw?

Gingerbreadlady1 · 27/02/2014 18:13

Bloody hell nordic, their unreasonable and nasty response would have really upset me too. A couple of folk have pulled them up on it, quite amusing. Glad we've got a lovely, friendly, supportive and positive vibe on our bus!

Sazzle, not your fault at all, don't feel bad. That shit is their responsibility, you were just trying to help & couldn't have foreseen a very weird response from some nasty individuals. They could've been an awful lot more tactful if they felt someone was on the wrong thread!

PolytheneGirl · 27/02/2014 18:19

BESH apparently stands for Bitter, Evil, Selfish and Hag-like. Not my words, just to be clear. I believe it has something to do with a news paper article or blog.

mama31 · 27/02/2014 18:23

Saz!!! Noooooo don't go! I need you!!!! (too needy??) you always give me hope please stay...and I love to hear how your progressing x

sazzlehopes · 27/02/2014 18:33

Thanks Nordic. Glad the cry helped-it really does sometimes doesn't it!! And glad it's behind you too, not worth dwelling on, as you say very high school.
Anyway I won't go anywhere Mama I'll just be careful with future advice! This is why I stuck to our buses and never did join the besh thread. I do enjoy a good swear every now and then but I most definitely prefer the postive outlook and madness on these buses! Hence why I'm STILL lurking and can't quite bring myself to leave!!!
