Bumsnet: we're raising our bums after TTC and waiting for our Angry Pubes.

[purdiepie]

Do you like feeling left out of a group? Do you enjoy being marginalised and isolated and picked-on? How about a good bullying? If so..you're in t'wrong place, cock, coz this 'ere is the TTC thread where you feel loved, embraced, encouraged, wanted, lusted after, admired, respected, thought-of with fondness, missed when you're away. We will even put up with your lazy, selfish bastard of a husband who would rather watch Chelsea romp through the Premiership than put a baby in your tum-tum.

Absolutely any old slag welcome, unless you already have a baby in your tum-tum and we're about as familiar with you as a condom. You can get lost

t'STATS, innit

Ha ha Glitterpants started it! She led me astray!!

Reading on my phone while eating dinner so can't see the cakes, thankfully. actually I can't wait to get on the 'puter and have a look

You lovelies have been chatty today, just got home and put my feet up with a cuppa.

Ibeka you can tell with the tension, it's really lovely!! I want to learn how to knit now. I've tried before but I am rubbish and always drop stitches so it looks "holey" like moths have been feasting on it.

Sorry AF got you daisy, melon too sounds like a stinker of a AF sending hugs and hoping you are feeling a bit better

Rice £60 I would have been mightly pissed off too! On the subject of baby shower cakes anyone else find those bump cakes a bit creepy??

Spinning yes I only make two at a time, I have some little cute milk bottles with straws so I put them in them and cling film the top. They last two days so I have one ready for first thing in morning and it nice and cold.

I wouldn't mind a baby shower that was like what night said a meal with close friends and family and no pressies. Someone I know had one I didn't go and had nappies with various condiments in brown sauce etc and you had to guess what is was!! Bloody disgusting if you ask me also bingo?? No thanks. I had the cutest thank you card today from my friend for the baby things I had made.

Oops forgot say massive CONGRATS Purdie, well done you

Haha those cake pics! Not sure I could eat something that looked like that!
Right off to read back, this may take some time

purdie congrats on the job!'

Sparkly, the bleeding is certainly going to worry you but maybe you are one of these people who will bleed on and off through pregnancy. If things progress (fx) will you be monitored quite closely because of your existing health concerns?
Ah happy 6 month MN anniversary......I've nearly been here for 2 years!!

Haha Melon, love that the firemen brightened your day

Butter, sorry you've feeling fed up. Don't stay away if you're down, come here and we'll cheer you up

Mummy, I always think you should get any lumps checked out. Maybe check again in a few days incase it disappears like glittery.

Ah Babs, how lovely to bring you a rose, what a sweetie.

Sparkly, not strange at all, plenty of ladies don't have any symptoms. I didn't except for peeing more frequently.

Merry, yay for the supplements and fx they bring you a bfp.

I think I said before but I found dildocam fine. Far less unpleasant than a smear.

Nomio, good luck finding a car and passing your test. I'd be lost without my wheels!

Yay for new house Night, good luck with the move tomorrow

Sparkly, please don't compare your lack of symptoms to anyone else's experiences. There will always be women for whom savage sickness began from their bfp and others who only became nauseous much later (my sickness kicked in at eight weeks and left at exactly 15 wks + 3 days. I journalled my pregnancy ). Same with tender breasts, weariness and cramps. You are a very fit and exceptionally healthy (in terms of nutrition) woman; I doubt your body will behave typically of newlt-pregnant women

I am so touched by all of your congratulations; some of you say such kind and supportive things to me and I can't deny it..I bloody love you for it. Mummy, you are always so brilliant at buoying us all; Baker, I really puffed up at your post; you made me feel really good about myself, as did all of you who alluded to my character in lovely ways. 'Karen' rang me to congratulate me and read the feedback, which said: 'Although it was clear that Kerry has been out of the workforce for a long time [Aaaargh!] her personality impressed us very much, along with her customer service skills. She engaged with us very, very well during the interview and we feel very confident of her abilities as part of our team.'

Still catching up, but have to say Ibeka's work is beautiful..

I was going to make them for work Monday. No?

purdiepie woooooo hooooooooooo for you. Well done! Very proud of you. Not surprised you came across like that. You are the most authenitic person we could meet, they must have seen your potential and skills. I'm just pleased they recognised something good when it was in front of them. When do you start (sorry if you've already said). Can you negotiate MN breaks in your day??

Spinning yep I think I will be monitored more closely so suppose that's comforting to know. I guess I might be one of those people you are right. It just scares the living daylights out of me and I have to say earlier on in the week google was my friend and it hasn't helped! slap my chops anyway. Must must think positive!! Must! Two years on MN?! So did you join when you started TTC straight away? Wow you are totally committed to the MN lovely!

Purdiepie thanks love.its ridiculous- I'm being so silly. Everyone is different! You are right about the healthy stuff I put in my body but I'm very unfit sadly so that's why docs thought that would have a impact. Your feedback is exceptional! Just like you. How wonderful. You came across as you are.. I imagine anyone who meets you is the same, startled by your bubbly beautiful personality. It doesn't surprise me at all that you got this job.. You are ideal for it, I know you are probably the type of person who is going to put 100% into anything you do and be the best you can be. You are a working gal oh yehhhhh!!!

Congrats on the job purdey!

oyster bro in law came to stay over last year and only after he'd gone dud I realise I had a line of 'used' opks getting darker on the bathroom cabinet. Told dh and he said "don't worry about it he prob thinks its a preg test" That's worse! He was prob waiting months for an announcement!

Hi all :-) I'm still lurking x

Glittery, stop being absurd: one can't read too much of the Daily Mail (by-the-way, did you know that the most-read newspaper in Britain - the shit Guardian - is now trailing behind the UK's new number one? 'Which paper is that?' I hear you say, 'Why, it's the Daily Mail, love.') P.s..they had to use three dildocams with me as they couldn't find the sides of my vagina. In fact, whenever the embryologist spoke to me during the IVF, I would say, 'Why are you repeating yourself? I'm not deaf', to which he replied, 'I am not ripitting myzelf...it is ze echo from your veejina, innit.'

Lucie! It's Friday and you are flying off to meet your baby! Say hello to the alkies lying all over the pavements in Brno. Have a superb time in Bratislava and Prague. Go get your babby(ies!!)

I am so flipping excited for that there Lucie. So excited...

Choppers!!! How are you doing?? Good I hope?! Ha ha love that about OPKs. Take it he never mentioned anything?!

purdiepie yes! Go lucie go!!! With this new job on the horizon lovely, you could be flying off too!!! Of course thats if you don't get your BFP before that..!!

Hi everyone, just been baby bombed on Facebook, girl i used to work with she has a 7 month old baby and she is due in October, how is that fair??!!, Im not bitter at all lol!!

Ah rainy it sucks donkey cock doesn't it. Xxx

Certainly does Glittery!! Xxxx

Rainy that's rubbish, sending hugs

I feel really guilty I've had a bottle of Stella. It won't matter at 5DPO will it???

frogbubbles I'm sure it will be fine to have a bottle of stella, dont worry xx

Ughh Rainy so sorry :( fertile cowbag!

frog I'm so convinced it's not going to work that I've been doing everything wrong, codeine yes! alcoholic ginger beer yes!

Eee Lucie good luck!!

I'm going for a bath then I'm going to attempt to catch up with my night off!

Frog I'm 5dpo and I've sunk half a bottle of prosecco

Ahh Purdie, what lovely words. We knew you'd nail it

Sparkly, yes more or less from the start! I lurked for a short while and everyone seemed nice so I joined in. I don't very often contribute anywhere else on MN but sometimes have a nosey around without these ttc buses I'd go mad!

Oops Chops, when you announce your pregnancy he'll think it's the longest one ever!

Ah rainy that's sucks.

Juney, the law of sod will get you

Who's next to poas?? We need some more bfp's!

Rainy, your friend is a slag. Fact.

Pikz, you crack me up you alkie

Still not caught up, because I'm watching some bizarre sex film starring the gloriously freakish manwoman, Tilda Swinton. Mad as a box of frogs, that 'un.
