Chooklass that’s exactly what I’m doing today haha. How fun is it being ill? Not! I’m guessing they’re attacking Physicskate? A lot of people on this board seem to have some weird problem with her

LimpLettice · 28/04/2018 15:04

Bubblegum love I'd stay away. One of the posters in particular is attacking you and Kate a lot, and seems a bit deranged, she just can't let it go. I'm afraid I couldn't help responding but I'd seriously ignore she is a bit cracked. I cannot understand why they are hounding Kate, I think she's always very measured and informative. Descending into bullying now.

Bubblegum89 · 28/04/2018 15:09

I figured as much Limp which is why I’m staying away lol don’t get why someone would be so argumentative about how infertile people shouldn’t be allowed to say anything when a super fertile person is no less than bragging about how great they are at conceiving. A deranged member on MN though? I don’t believe that for one second 😉 kate seems a bit upset over on the infertility board about the whole thing which is another reason I’ve avoided it. How’s things with you anyway? Little bean still being good?

LimpLettice · 28/04/2018 15:24

I'm feeling terrible for Kate, I think she comes across really well. Silly bitch (naming no names ha) seems to have a bit of a vendetta.

I think so! I still feel totally shit, which is a good sign Smile, and last weeks scan was great. Breast pain dropping which is always worrying but it's the wedding next week and I'm adamant I'm going to concentrate on that. They've put my dating scan back which is annoying, another 3 weeks of panicking Confused but I'm trying!

Bubblegum89 · 28/04/2018 15:30

I agree, I’ve never seen her be nasty or offensive to anyone but I suppose bitches be crazy. I have to say, I’m honoured that there’s someone out there who is so bothered about me that they’re spending their time slagging me off when I’ve not even been back on the thread 😂

That all sounds really positive though, I wouldn’t worry too much about the decreasing breast pain. So how far along are they saying you are now? Glad you’re feeling shit (in the nicest way possible!) Ooh next week? That’s exciting!

LimpLettice · 28/04/2018 15:35

10 + 1 now. It's a bit of a mindfuck, I've been pregnant pretty much since Xmas, but still trying not to tell people. Pfft.

Difficult debate. I know full well I'm not nice resenting people who've had it easy, but I own that, and ain't nasty. Kate comes across the same way to me, if anything more measured, and it's good advice not to read into every symptom or worry about timing when it might turn out to be harder than that. My back went up when said poster started slagging off this thread with clearly no understanding.

Bubblegum89 · 28/04/2018 15:40

Woah what, they were slagging off this thread? Why?

Yikes 10 weeks, that’s crazy. I have everything crossed for you but I’m quietly confident that everything is going to turn out fine :)

BiscayTrafalgarFitzroy · 28/04/2018 15:42

Yes! Nasty piece of work she is. Also naming no names. I may not be active on this thread anymore but I still keep up to date with you all.

No one slags of the yammers and gets away with it!

Anyway, take no notice of spiteful people and I hope you're all well. And congrats @LimpLettice!

LimpLettice · 28/04/2018 15:42

Bitching about the warmth of our congratulations. Talk about Missing The Fucking Point Grin

LimpLettice · 28/04/2018 15:43

Biscay! It was you who was so poorly congratulated. Apparently. Thank you 😊

Paranormalbouquet · 28/04/2018 15:45

It’s a horrible thread isn’t it. I fall pregnant at the drop of a hat. I’ve spent a lot of time pregnant in the past year but I’m still nowhere close to taking a baby home. I can still empathise with people who have an unwanted pregnancy or can’t get pregnant. Because I’m a human being and I know that we all have different struggles.

I certainly think saying you can’t choose between having a baby in January or February is foolish and insensitive.

BiscayTrafalgarFitzroy · 28/04/2018 15:45

Haha it was indeed but don't worry guys. What I needed from this thread was support when going through a difficult time TTC and that is exactly what I got and I shall always be grateful to you all Flowers

Bubblegum89 · 28/04/2018 15:45

Lol what? Said poster doesn’t like that we offer congratulations to fellow yammers when they get preggo? Or that we aren’t congratulatory enough? Like I said, bitches be crazy

WonkyDonk87 · 28/04/2018 15:46

Just had a quick look - Bubble don't go back on there. I stopped reading as it got very personal. If I'm completely honest I can see elements of both perspectives, but nastiness is just unnecessary.

@LimpLettice We're all rooting for you!!! And I'll be raising a glass on your wedding day 🥂

BiscayTrafalgarFitzroy · 28/04/2018 15:55

Said poster doesn’t like that we offer congratulations to fellow yammers when they get preggo?

She said that she was surprised I was defending kate because when I finally got my bfp the yammers who are 'bitter women' didn't congratulate me enough. Apparently anyone who has struggled to TTC must be bitter. What a loon.

Bubblegum89 · 28/04/2018 15:57

I’m intrigued now haha what are these people who don’t know me even saying about me? And Biscay I’m pretty sure I already said it but in case I didn’t, huge congratulations :) from your fellow bitter yammer lol

BiscayTrafalgarFitzroy · 28/04/2018 16:01

Haha - she said she keeps up with various threads in conception including yammers and that's how she knew what I hadn't been congratulated properly.

She must have a fantastic memory. That or she did a quick search on my username to try and find something to argue with and that was the best she could come up with.

MynameisJune · 28/04/2018 16:09

@biscay just in case I didn’t at the time. CONGRATULATIONS! from another bitter and jaded yammer.

I’m glad we have these threads away from certain other posters.

I’ve reported that whole thread, it’s disgusting.

Bubblegum89 · 28/04/2018 16:10

What a way to spend a Saturday, aggressively slagging off people you’ve never met on the Internet 😂 If said poster is watching this thread now, I’m flattered that you would do such a thing.

Paranormal I think I said something like that on the thread. I’ve had an unplanned pregnancy which happened whilst on the pill. I have nothing against people who can get pregnant easily (even if I get frustrated that I now can’t) Someone who falls easily doesn’t take anything away from me being infertile. I genuinely don’t think I was nasty in my post but hey ho. I just thought trying to plan conception based on what month you want your kids birthday to be is stupid and hardly a conception issue

WonkyDonk87 · 28/04/2018 16:12

God this whole site can get barmy sometimes. There are some truly brilliant/funny/supportive/informative bits and then others that get wicked nasty.

I've always felt that the purpose of this thread was for support/advice and a safe place to shout your effing and jeffing do it doesn't spill out onto other people. I certainly don't feel anything negative towards other women, kids or not. Feel a bit miffed that we're being tarred as bitter old hags who can't be happy for other people. Angry

Bubblegum89 · 28/04/2018 16:16

Wonky you mean, you’re not a bitter old hag?! Get off this thread! Tbh we’ve had worse, I don’t know if you were on the threads when some random person came on and started saying that we were bitter cows and she was glad our ovaries were all shrivelled up whilst hers were working perfectly etc etc. She was a delight

Chooklass · 28/04/2018 16:18

Yes, it's the worst thread I've seen for nastiness!

What's everyone having for dinner tonight? I need inspiration!

Bubblegum89 · 28/04/2018 16:25

Ready salted crisps and jelly for me chooklass haha the joys of tonsillitis. Not very inspiring I know.

Chooklass · 28/04/2018 16:28

Aw, sorry @Bubblegum89 ! I can't taste much just now either so thinking something spicy.

Looks like MN have deleted that thread at last.

LimpLettice · 28/04/2018 16:30
