Thanks for the love Sparkly I'm out here, been weirdly fine all evening. Calm before the next emotional storm I guess. Spoke with my sister for nearly 2 hours which is unheard of - we had a proper adult, sisterly conversation about TTC (turns out they have been trying since December - I have just sent her my charts and told her to download the SMEP book). And spoke with my dad, we both managed to hold it together and I'm so pleased I've been able to talk about it.

Thanks for all welcoming me back. I don't want to take over the thread as you all have very important business to be discussing but I shall be keeping an eye on you and joining in when I can.

Sparkly I have everything crossed for a positive outcome for you - you have been amazing to cope this far.

Eskimo wooooohoo for the return of AF even if she did need drugs to lure her out I hope this means you can start properly now

Oyster - Very excited about the wedding. Yes, take time out from everyone else on the day. We had our sit down meal 2-4.30ish, then cut the cake, then 5.30-7ish went off with just our photographer to take pictures at a beach and in a clifftop field where we nearly got trampled by a herd of cows Meant we got lots of alone time and some lovely relaxed photos.

Oh and also special thanks to spinning for popping over to the AN thread the other day and checking in on me - I really appreciated that Smile

PUPO love it sparkly!

Pug that sounds like just the support network you need

Smoked salmon scrambled egg makes me want to barf

Spinning just a real furious tantrums toddler who has screamed and cried since I picked him up from nursery which makes me sad in the few preci hours I have with him. Also don't reckon this month has worked so feeling rather low as I feel like I don't know anyone who's not pregnant or with a newborn at the moment Hmm

purdiepie · 21/04/2015 22:32

Lucie, praying for strong and crazily-dividing embryos on day 3 tomorrow. What have you been up to over there? Will you be saving the Bratislava trip etc until after ET?

Thanks to all who boxed my ears regarding work. Aenor, I was very grateful for your input - I love your posts but they are too infrequent. Please try harder. 3/10 see me. Fascinating about the chilly hens! Is this why fatties lay so easily? Blimey. Can you tell us what your job is? You sound brainy to me.

Aux, I have a troo phact for you! The dahlia flower was named after Andreas Dahl who was the first botanist to treat the tuber as a bloom instead of a vegetable.

Sparkly, thank you for your message. I love you. You are pregnant, so I hate you too. But you get that, right? Grin

I have been rather scathing about the staff at work, but you all know me by now: it's my way of coping with the anxiety of a new situation or boredom. The unintelligible Welsh man next to me dedicates his life to fostering tots with extreme special needs. He is currently waiting to adopt his foster son who is paraplegic, blind, deaf and summat else. He and his missus even take in mothers and babies. Together. As a package. There are some incredible human beings among us and I feel honoured to sit next to him Smile

Sparkly123 · 21/04/2015 22:38

Obvs you kinda hate me too Purds but I'm showering you with love and positive light so as Chezza Cole says ( ahem Juney) "I don't careeee ohhhh oh oh "

Miss you. Is that for real- the guy from your work.? Shock

Sparkly123 · 21/04/2015 22:39

Yes lucie positive thoughts to you lovely we are all behind you!!! Can't wait to hear your update! Grin

purdiepie · 21/04/2015 22:40

pikz, I have a special soft spot for you, despite the fact you eat shit posh food. You're approximately 10dpo? Couple of days to go? Ugh. It's the pits, those last few days of the LP. If you were told you will definitely get your bfp but it will take another 14 months it would be okay, wouldn't it. We could wait, couldn't we? Well, I think you will get your bfp for sure - and I think I may get mine - but I think it will take a bit of time. Don't go getting depressed and letting me down will you? Your tot is still totteringly tiny, and you have loads of months of trying before you start fretting about age gaps.

You still have a baby there...your other one will be here before your tot's four

Sparkly123 · 21/04/2015 22:40

Pikz sorry for a hard day. You never do know what's around the corner. Please have hope. And if you can't today, I'll keep faith for you lovely Flowers

ibeka · 21/04/2015 22:42

Wow, I've missed so much. Work sucks. I've just finished for the night. I have been massively baby bombed today. One of my team told me she is having a baby in autumn, just a week before mine was due. Jealous/angry/sad/depressed doesn't come close to how I felt. Out of my team of six, three are going on mat leave in the next 6 months.

ThePug I am so sad and angry on your behalf at reading your news. I am still reeling from my own MC and I would not wish it on my worst enemy. I will say I found I felt worst in the couple of weeks after everything was out. Please don't push yourself to get back working or do too much too soon. Just take each day as it comes. Rant here if you need to, feel free to PM if you want an extra long rank. Hugest hugest hugs to you (even though I know they're not allowed)

purdlepants keep at it duck. Work is super shit at times but just keep a sight go the goals you had. Picture Nancy in her dance outfits and playing the piano when you need some motivation! And remember, Andrew and Denise are just a stepping stone to the job you want and deserve in the future. I really agree with the writing idea too...

Eskimo glad you're back in the game!

juney can't WAIT for your birthday. We can meet your new lady friend then too Wink

lucie hooray for eggs! Good luck with the next bit.

sparkly not too long for your scan now... Hope you're bearing up lovely.

Can't remember for the life of me what else I wanted to say. Sorry Sad

ibeka · 21/04/2015 22:45
  • extra long rant, not rank.
purdiepie · 21/04/2015 22:45

Sparkly, I would never joke about a paraplegic child. Unless it was ginger.

ibeka · 21/04/2015 22:52

purdie I will not tolerate anti-ginger attitudes on this bus even if I am only clinging to the running boards by my fingernails. Penalty charge to you!

Pikz · 21/04/2015 22:53

Purdie and sparkly you may have made me cry a little bit.

Big love to you all. Sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite

purdiepie · 21/04/2015 22:54

Ibeka, I don't know how you younger women keep bouncing back when you are stabbed in the heart time and time again when your peers fall pregnant. Honestly. I've never had that battle, because I only started ttc at 40. Even when I had my mmc I wasn't bitter because I just thought: 'Yeah well, that'll learn yer; thinking you can start having babies at 40.'

Please think as positively as you can. You are not broken and you will get your baby. I promise you these aren't platitudes.

purdiepie · 21/04/2015 22:56

...but I can't promise I won't mock gings.

ibeka · 21/04/2015 23:06

When I have my brood of ginger babies I shall set them upon you, like a ginger Midwich Cuckoos...

purdiepie · 21/04/2015 23:14

Wot's dem?

ibeka · 21/04/2015 23:14

But thank you for your nice comments.

ibeka · 21/04/2015 23:15

It's a 50s SciFi book about evil children taking over the world... For some reason my English teacher showed us the film version when I was about 13 and it's haunted me since....

Oysterbabe · 21/04/2015 23:15

I love Wyndham Smile

ibeka · 21/04/2015 23:17

You have to agree, Oyster, the film is scary!

loopylou1984 · 21/04/2015 23:20

What is a mmc? As opposed to just a mc? Sorry for anyone who has had to go through either.

Purdie - I love your welsh colleague, what an amazing thing to do! Xx

frogbubbles · 21/04/2015 23:24

I've missed another night of mums net chatter, been working all day and then bookclub.

Have I missed much? Pug I skim read your news and sending lots of hugs your way lovely Sad

9DPO today no symptoms other than constipation, but I'm actually seriously starting to wonder if I have iBS or something. Dildocam tomorrow afternoon, not looking forward to it.

Yokyil · 21/04/2015 23:33

ThePug just catching up through the pages from today - am so sorry for your news. It's just crap. I mc'd at 5.5 weeks in January - it rocks the confidence and emotionally, you just need to set aside some time for you to feel better & you and hubbie to just start mending and healing again. For me that didn't happen until all the physical side of things had finished - trying to get your head round it while you are bleeding just didn't happen. But time is definitely a help - Just take the time to look after yourself and give yourself the attention you need right now xx
