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

How many DPO are you now then? (typed hen my mistake then realised this would also be an acceptable question overt'boarder).

She is prob fed up at still being in work and in holiday mode already - miserable bint. Has DH gone back to work? Hope you are ok if he has.

Ps I hate it when my DP is cheery to people who have just pissed me off - have a nice holiday my arse!

I think EPU will have much more tact and knowledge than that silly old fart.
she's permanently been in holiday mode.
Still, none of that matters anymore :)

check out that link sparkly. I know its something else for you to obsess over but it may be really helpful when you get the results.

Mummy ha ha. Same! It's like when people give you sh t service in shops I'm raging and often make it known and dh is all "oh they have probably had a hard day you don't need to be hard back" .. Ok Whatevs.
I think I'm 18dpo. Pretty sure.

Thanks night good packing going well!

Purds no doubt you are killing it right now in your new frock! Hope alls going well lovely

night good= hope!

Sparkly It is very annoying! He is always so overly joyous about everything and overly happy when he gets the right service like literally spilling over with niceties - "Oh thank you so much love, we really appreciate all of your help, thanks so much for everything, I am sure we will see you again soon, hope you have a great day and enjoy the nice weather we are having" He may as well snog them and be done with it - I just expect them to be good at what they do - IT IS THEIR JOB!! ok rant over

I've missed loads
sparkly still keeping everything crossed for you. Limbo is horrible though! We will do our best to distract you and keep you sane over the next 10 days
purds good luck with the interview
night hope the move goes well
Another pregnancy announced at work today (the 7th in a 12 month period) apparently the head is fuming because the schools insurance is maxed out now and if anyone else gets pregnant the mat pay will come out of the schools budget (I don't know if this is true or not) we are only a small team, so I am literally surrounded by bumps and babies!

Mummy your dh has a double life.. He's also married to me! Ha ha. So funny!

Rice thank you lovely. Distract me with tales of dtd and OPKs that would be great! Thanking you sorry for the baby bombs that's lots! .. You are next!! Shame about the school funds but you can't halt nature eh?!

Yes! Still pregnant it would seem Sparkly although clots are worrying. Doesn't your hcg have to have trebled since Monday? I reckon you're in for a lovely surprise tonight xx

Must get up and into the shower...

Riceicle as union rep at my school I am fairly confident that is utter bollocks. Unless you are an academy in which case he should have thought of that before jumping out of local authority protection...!

I'm updating. Again!!! Sorry. I got a call that woke me from me nap!.. Guess who!!!.
I suspect Trunchpants is bipolar.
She has now phoned in an upbeat mood. Hcg is 100. It's low. But doubled. I asked if the number means anything and she said everyone is different so we can't tell anything from the number. She has spoken with consultant and usually they wait two weeks but they have compromised and agreed on next Friday lunchtime for a scan. She says hopefully by that time if it's a continuing pregnancy then we will have a fetal pole in view and maybe even a heartbeat if lucky. I asked her if I should keep positive, was the hcg low for this stage, were there any indications of my chances. She said I should keep fairly positive given she thinks she saw something high up in the cavity but she says sometimes (as few of you lovely ladies know) the sac can be there but it becomes a mmc and there is no baby. She also said ectopic could not be diagnosed this early.
Same advice again if any sharp pains or heavy bleeding go to hosp.
She wished me luck

Rice gosh that is alot in a small team!! I echo that it cannot be helped - plus they can't legally do anything about it as we are protected in our right to have babies! I went to see a friend at the weekend when her step daughter turned up with her great big bump. I managed to feel happy for her though, unlike anyone of my close friends who know we are trying and come and tell me they had sex once and are expecting again after saying they didnt want any more....

Yay for doubling Hcg!!!!! You are pregnant still!!!!! Very happy for you. Fx for the scan next Friday!

ibeka we are not an academy! and I thought it sounded wrong when the gossip of the school told me! But funding or not our head has already pulled me to one side and told me in a (not so) jokey manner that she sincerely hoped I had no plans to extend my family!

Purds when is the interview? We crossed posts. I thought it would need to have trebled.. She didn't seem to think so.. It's been 69 hours exactly in between! not much into details me

Sparkly I would stay positive until you have a certified medical reason not to be! Oh and stop apologising we're all refreshing our screens for your updates

Crossing everything for you

Eeek Rice what did you say?!

Wanhhhooooooooo sparkly will still keep every appendage crossed for you!

I kind of laughed nervously! I'm dreading telling her (when It eventually happens) she is very hard faced

Oh well Rice it's your life, it's what's most important to you and you shouldn't get the hard end of it just because the other ladies got preggo first! Your time is coming and she will just have to deal with it. If I were you I would just send her a text when the time comes ha ha . Joking. Obviously. Kinda.

Glittery trying to make sense of that chart, is quite confusing! Thanks so much though is very interesting. I didn't realise when you implanted had an effect on what level hcg would double!

sparkers that's fantastic news about the HCG!! Oh I'm so relieved for you, keep being positive lady, it's good news today so try not to overthink, also great news about the scan! Woop woop!

night good luck for the move lovely, make sure DH does all the heavy lifting hehe

rice that is a lot of ladies up the duff! I can't believe the head said that to you?! How inappropriate! You should have given your belly a meaningful pat hehe

Sparkly Another bit of info I found for you: Early pregnancy HCG levels your result of 100 at 16dpo is average according to this!

Notice how I assumed the head was a man... Says a lot about the status quo in schools! I shall ask my deputy head if there's any truth in that but I really doubt it as we are council employees not individual school employees in these matters. True or not, she has no right to even say things like that. It could almost be considered intimidation! It is hard on small teams but that's life, teachers tend to be people who like children and therefore are pretty likely to want their own!!

Mummy thanks so much for that not sure what to make of it as don't understand the column that says after LH hcg?! It does say though:
85% of normal pregnancies will have the HCG level double every 72 hours. Bypassing what it says about pregnancies destined to miscarry or ectopic..
