Getting Ready For Baby Challenge - Part 9

[HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips]

Through the ups and downs of this amazing journey - we are all here together. I'm grateful for you all ❤️❤️

Tigger nice to hear you are feeling relaxed and positive. Good luck with your exam! The garden sounds lovely. Fingers crossed for good weather for your BBQ.

I had a hot bath and am feeling a bit calmer. It's just like a very heavy AF now but coming in waves not constantly (sorry if TMI). My head is very confused about what day date and planet I am on. Luckily I've only got one work call today - this afternoon so I think I'll be ok to do it. Not going to bother doing any other work today, so I'm glad my boss knows.

Jupiter glad you're having a wonderful, relaxing time. Glad you found a spot of wifi to steal! Thanks BillyandBolly!

Glad you're enjoying the dtd Tigger! Sounds like you have done everything you could have to catch the egg when it comes! Good luck in your exam! 🍀

Think my opk this morning was positive. Will do another when I get in from work, but looking out for ovulation signs again! Hoping the positive can help my mood a little. :s

Is anyone else 2dpo today?

How you feeling grumpy?

Really moving story about the challenges of TTC in today's paper...

Unfortunately it's been an absolutely fucking traumatic day for me in A&E then acute gynaecology unit. I felt ok initially after passing some stuff this morning but after lunch suddenly felt sick shaky and weak and the bleeding got uncontrollably heavy. Got to A&E then referred to AGU where they removed "a large amount" of pregnancy tissue that was stuck in the neck of the womb (no anaesthetic). Now they've sent me home even though I still have a small amount of retained products - they say I'll bleed for next 2-3 weeks as that comes out. Surgery tomorrow is cancelled. So, so miserable

Oh grumpy. That's horrendous, I can't imagine how you feel.

I've no words, other than to say we're here and to take care of yourself.

Oh grumpy. I'm so sorry my love that it's been such a crap day for you. Sounds traumatic. I hope you get plenty of rest this evening and are being looked after by dh. Thinking of you. It's all so crap and unfair. 💐

Oh Grumpy love. I'm so sorry. That sounds absolutely horrendous. You're doing amazingly well through all of this. I really hope it all eases up soon.

So sorry to hear it's been even more traumatic Grumpy big virtual hugs ❤️

Oh grumpy I'm so sorry that must have been awful :( are you in pain?? Hope DH is with you ❤️ wanna give you a big hug

On a silly note, thanks to Parsnips just remembered i needed to put butter on the shopping list after reading your name in full!

I'm on the beer girls🙈

Buzz your post made me smile because on my yoga retreat to Spain last year I kept drinking 0% beer without realising and writing it down as "beer" on the honesty bar 🙈

Thanks for all your support. I'm home now and resting

Haha grumpy it's not quite the same but really does go well! And I've managed to get it into snaps so it looks like I'm drinking still. And cocktails- you'd never know this was a virgin one?! Except I'm so annoyed everything is still the same price even though it's no alcohol, well like 50c cheaper?!

Looks like you're having a good time buzz. Definitely jealous as I sit at my desk.

Glad you are home grumpy. Did they give you decent painkillers? Really hope the rest of this is less shit for you. Sending huge virtual hugs.

It is weird dancing I'm not really in any pain to speak of. Just very weak.

I'm glad you're not in pain at least. I'm sure dh and dd are looking after you. I hope you are able to get plenty of rest to help with your recovery. So wish I could change all of this.

Oh grumpy I'm so sorry it's been so awful for you, sounds horrendous. I truly hope you are now over the worst physically anyway

seven sorry about the bfn. You're. It out yet though x

buzz glad you are enjoying your hen do. Must be nice to get a wee break in the sun with your friends even if you are on the mocktails.

natur that story is so sad, TTC can be so heart breaking.

tigger and dancing yay to the OPKs, go catch those eggs. I can highly recommend trampolining 😂

I have spent the afternoon with my 10 week old nephew snuggled in to me having a nap. Now feeling extremely broody and pained with a dead arm, will need to start building up those arm muscles by January!

I'm at a clients. The doors are locked. No idea how to get out!!

Hi girls!
Oh grumpy your day sounds utterly traumatic, what an awful thing to go through, I hope now that the worst is over and you can recover, make sure you rest up, you really are wonder woman in how strong you have been and how you've kept going in all of this. But don't be afraid to rest and give in and let you and your body get through this. Sorry it's all been so shit xx
tigger and dancing yay it's baby making time! Also tigger we are birthday buddies!! 💜
seven I'm gutted for your for BFN I had convinced myself it was your month for sure so you are not silly for getting hopes up, if there was no hope we wouldn't be doing all this! Hang in there lovely xx
buzz looks amazing where you are and I'm glad you are enjoying yourself!
jupiter had a good giggle at you thieving WiFi under a tree! 😂 glad you are enjoying yourself!
hb i forgot butter twice this week, it's really upsetting when you need toast and have ran out!!
jb Aw I love them dead arm snuggles!

Had my leaving do in work today aka a lunch out, which was lovely, I'll be an emotional wreck tomorrow! Also not having the rosiest marriage right now so feeling a bit upset about that, without boring everyone with the details my OH has really let me down on a situation that he knows would upset me and carried on regardless, it's not the first time and it'll never be the last but it's always causing trouble in our relationship and I just feel desperate knowing that it always will! Anyway not to be cryptic I just don't feel able to go into the ins and outs of it right now, suffice to say sometimes he behaves like a bloody teenager and I feel like choking him!👊 Anyway we aren't speaking currently so not the most fun week in my house, it's a good job I'm so busy with work etc that I don't have much time to think about it! Also my replacement in work is a delight and easy to train so I'm getting off very lightly.

Phew! Was rescued. Panic over!

😂 😂 dancing I thought we would have to stage a rescue via mumsnet!

Haha, whilst maintaining full anonymity!! 😳 Undue amount of panic for 5 minutes!!

Mrsc I'm so sorry things are not perfect at home. That must be really stressful and frustrating. If you decide you want to vent, we won't be bored! (But obviously understand you might not want to share!!) Glad things are working out ok at work. Hopefully the person training you at the other end is equally as delightful and not a dick! ;)
