Geek!!!!!!

ControlGeek · 18/08/2015 08:01

It's been far too long, and all my fault!

Imps That sounds bloody amazing, what an awesome idea! My mum loves to fill me with horror stories about failed adoptions too (she worked at the council in the department where adoption admin was carried out for a few months) but honestly, if that's what all adoptions were like, nobody would ever bother and the authorities wouldn't spend so much time and money looking for good people like you and MrImps if they didn't know that it was worth it.

January is the start of a fresh holiday year, Keep and I have only booked 5 days of it so far ;)

BaronessTrumpington · 18/08/2015 09:43

Morning all, it's Molotov with a new name - whaddya think?! Grin

Pastamancer · 18/08/2015 09:44

You only get about 6 months holiday a year Imps, I don't know how you cope

ControlGeek · 18/08/2015 17:56

What is up with mn at the moment?? I tried to log on using my phone at work and all the site buttons came up with Chinese characters!

Tis only a brief pop-in Keep, but I do lurk when I'm strong enough to. I'm doing ok thanks, lovely. No news, except that I have now joined the recurrent mc club. We won't be looking to do another cycle for at least a few months, try and work out what (if any) additional testing is worth doing.

[creeps in realising it's been Far Too Long]

Hey brookers, remember me? All this hooha with MN usernames has prompted me to come and visit. Good to see familiar faces, though I wish some of you were having such a crappy ttc experience.

It would have taken about two years to catch up on all posts, but I must just say to Imps that my bestest buddy & her husband adopted their two children just over two years ago. Yes, it's a thorough process (they asked her what her mums job was when she met her dad?!?) but their experience was positive and at the shorter end of the scale. And wow, you could not meet more settled children!
Love & luck to you all xx

TheLittleFriend · 18/08/2015 20:50

Oh ffs, I meant, 'were not having'. Blimmin typos straight away!!

Loopyaboutmy2boys · 19/08/2015 08:01

Geek, lovely to hear from you, sorry you've had another MC. There is a recurrent miscarriage thread on here that I've been posting on, very active and lots of useful information and lots of success stories. It has part 29 as part of the thread title.

Meanwhile with me, I can feel my usual sensations so fully expecting a BFP within the next 4-7 days but feeling rather down about the high likelihood that this will end up being miscarriage number 7.

Loopyaboutmy2boys · 19/08/2015 11:31

Just seen the list of details that were leaked via Twitter, and gobbo, dinosnores and scrambledsmegs were on the list. Not sure what the implications are.

Pastamancer · 19/08/2015 12:08

Change your passwords, make sure you have different passwords for different sites and different email addresses would be good too. I have created an email just for mn and have a unique password for that so if they get my details then they can't do anything else with it.

oh geek I'm so sorry to hear about your miscarriages. not bloody fair is it Angry thank you for your brooking, it should only take one, hey! wish I'd put this one back as well last time then could just get on with another round. but then I suppose we have to save up anyway. hey ho

hiya little! course we do, and we live in hope of a tripe whammy repeat. hey a double whammy or even a single sticky bfp would do us brookers right now...

did your friend adopt siblings? how lovely. Shock at the grandparents jobs back in the day though!! oh imps you guys would be fantastic

let's brook for no ovulation before next Friday for me, else I'll be away. any tips to ward it off a bit anyone??

loopy lucky number 7 it will be. it must be very distressing Sad I guess you've stopped thinking of a bfp as a bfp

Good morning lovely ladies, what a fantabulous day it is - gonna be pushing 30degs here today apparently! Just around to changing my password - god knows I'll forget it and it will be another week before I get to a proper computer to change it.

Sweetie how lovely that your friend adopted - are her children biological siblings? Did they adopt both at the same time?

AF has fucked the fuck off so it's back to TTC through the traditional means of The Sex. This is our month and I am BROOKING NO ARGUMENT! And it's everyone else's month too. AND THAT IS THAT!

Imps9 · 22/08/2015 10:37

Sorry LIttle - I meant you and not Sweetie! ALthough I was thinking of Sweetie and her twinz the other day. I think she was told that IVF wouldn't work for her due to such low AMH and look where she ended up! Hello Sweetie if you're around :)

lovely day here. kip gone for a nap so I'm going to sunbathe. cd9 here, if my surge comes Thursday or before we will have to miss this month for fet, so brooking it holds off! but not likely, so we are smacking it the old fashioned way too could always have twins

Pastamancer · 22/08/2015 12:36

Well I wouldn't describe it as lovely but overcast and cold is certainly an improvement on the rain we've had for the last few days

OK so I got my positive opk this morning, only cd11 Hmm usually cd14/15 . this would mean transfer on sat, and we fly Friday am. also i didn't test yesterday and i think they want a negative the day before so they know when it was properly. so we are doing it the old fashioned way this month. happily we smacked that rat on Friday, Saturday, and just now...

Imps9 · 24/08/2015 07:55

The old fashioned way will surely work this month Keep although isn't it bloody annoying when your body randomly fucks up your plans for no obvious reason?

Yes, what news Loopy? And Dino?

Hello everyone, I have been looked out of MN for the last few days but am happily back in the saddle now (that pun was intended for keep Grin).

It's been a weird week or so for Molotov The Baroness ... wanting to ttc but then those fucking bastard gremlins shit-pissing on everything. It's definitely caused by overthinking and if I could just stop doing it, I think we could be in with a chance.

My DM blurting out, unprompted, to my dds whilst we were at lunch: "Hands up who would like another baby in the family?" (all hands were raised, but dd1 has some reservations). I leapt on the opportunity afterwards and started a conversation with DM by saying what a wonderful big sister dd2 would be, as she is currently baby-crazy, but then she said "well, you would need to watch out that dd1 doesn't get left out by the youngest two becoming best friends." Not helpful, Ma!

MIL is a PITA. Dd2 cooes over babies and I comment on it, and the she looks to me and says "Babies grow up "

And then I'm on CD23 and since yesterday have had the most horrible stomach cramps. I'm bloated, and my boobs are swollen and painful. I've been getting AF around CD35 for the last few months, so this is a surprise.

PMS is also a PITA. Mother Nature is too. And so is anxiety. But I'm trying to be positive and smack the rat to see where we go not that I'm in a rat-smacking mood right now.

How is everyone?

BaronessTrumpington · 26/08/2015 19:44

*locked out of MN

Pastamancer · 27/08/2015 13:18

Baroness we need to chase these gremlins away for good.

Well I'm not sure what is going on, there seems to be a yellow thing in the sky and I don't get wet when going outside Shock

How is everyone? Nothing exciting happening here apart from applying to be an extra on Poldark

Loopyaboutmy2boys · 27/08/2015 14:36

Hey all, hope mumsnet sort out this dadsec lot as really annoying now!

So, crap week here. Had very faint bfps at the start of the week, but today's test had no line at all so looks like a chemical one. Was either 13 or 14 dpo today. So thinking next step is to have a break from ttc and get NK cells tested at Coventry and then try again from December on the clomid that my consultant gave me. I had been struggling with spending so much money on tests that I might not need, but had a car tax refund come through last week, and today I received a refund on National Insurance contributions so these two cheques will near as dammit cover the Coventry costs.
