@ratherbeshowjumping ..... lucky..... hmmm yes.... I feel so lucky to be married to a DH (dick head!) 😂
Mine even pissed on an OPK as he was convinced it would show him ovulating to prove my point ... it didn't.... but that's not the point okay?! 🤭

tigsyboo · 21/02/2019 08:53

Prove HIS point - not mine! Bad typo! Lol

Kinsters · 21/02/2019 09:11

God how tiresome for both of you. There are plenty of things they don't/didn't have in Rwanda/Victorian times...doesn't mean that's what we should all be aiming for!

Frazzlerock · 21/02/2019 09:40

Same as DP! It's all utter BS. He only ignores the fact I do all this as it 'brings you comfort'. Otherwise, it is all shit. And he is not convinced that we can only get pregnant at one specific time.
He's actually remarkably bright, but somehow this just doesn't add up to him.

He is still convinced that the sonographer was right about my dates being wrong in our last pregnancy.
I can't be arsed to argue.

@Kinsters Flowers If it helps you, I think it is best not to put a time limit on this. Although I am increasingly wondering if I still won't be pregnant by the time we get married next Spring, or I have to find a dress that will fit a bump, rather than have our baby there at the wedding.

@Kinsters I'm so sorry, I missed your post about you having a down day Flowers this cycle is my last chance to have a baby born in 2019 too. It's so shit isn't it. I was so excited to be a mum of a chubby 5 month old at Christmas. Nothing to make you feel better but you're not alone in feeling crap about that Brew

Lol @tigsy don't get him started on Ovia... the creators of Ovia may as well be Nazi sympathisers in his eyes.
DH has also literally made the exact same comments about Rwanda/Victorian times.... it's obviously some sort of wizardry and absolutely nothing to do with the fact that most people in developing countries don't have access to Sky Sports in their bedrooms.

Honestly @Frazzle, they're a pain aren't they? It is really hard work.
Ps. I'm sure you will either have a baby or a bump by Spring next year to celebrate your wedding x

Kinsters · 21/02/2019 12:09

Thanks rather. And Frazzle you're right that it would be much less stressful to try and not put time lines on things.

I got a positive opk this evening! So dtd will carry on for the next few days. Thrush is feeling a little better so should be OK.

tigsyboo · 21/02/2019 12:12

Not teaching you to suck eggs kinsters, but don't forget to get ur DH some thrush treatment too if you are dtd while you have it or you will just yo-yo it back and forth 🥴

Rose68 · 21/02/2019 12:13

Oh bugger, the boys & I are out flying their drones & I flew DS2’s into a tree. Totally my fault, spent ages looking for it, DS2 is in tears. I guess I will have to buy him a new one 😩

Frazzlerock · 21/02/2019 12:18

Good news @Kinsters! Get SHAGGING!!!!

@Rose oh shit! Was it very expensive? Can it be fixed? I know DS2's drone can have spare parts bought for it..

OP posts:
Rose68 · 21/02/2019 12:46

Fortunately it wasn’t expensive, about £30ish I think. I can’t fix it cause I can’t even find it 😩 We did see it scare some birds out of the tree as it disappeared 😬

Frazzlerock · 21/02/2019 13:02

Oooh I thought you'd found it. Still frustrating you've got to buy another one.

I got a marketing email from Vimeo this morning and remembered I used it when the DC were really little. So I logged in and found videos I haven't seen for years! They were so cute. I found one of DS1 (now 13) singing front of stage dressed as a king during his nativity play. He is singing so loud and proud and he's only about 4 years old - I cried!
Then there were three others all of DS2 (now nearly 10). One with him BLW for the first time, another of him using a sippy cup for the first time, and another when he was only a few days old - I just can't get over how tiny the boys were back then. I really miss having them as little babies and I wish I'd thought about DS2 possibly being my last back then

Kinsters · 21/02/2019 13:08

I didn't even think about that tigsy 😳 should I get something for him even if he has no symptoms?

Rose oh no about the drone! It's so easy to do. DH used to have one and he flew it out over the sea to see how far it could go... didn't factor in the the headwind... It was awful waiting to see if it could make it back before the battery died (it couldn't).

tigsyboo · 21/02/2019 13:41

I'm pretty sure you both need the tablet Fluconazole, to clear it @Kinsters Xx

Rose68 · 21/02/2019 13:51

@Kinsters DH does need to use the cream, even if he doesn’t have any symptoms. I think the cream should be enough.

Oh no for your DH’s drone! This one was flying away from us towards the trees, really high because I wanted to see how high it would go 🤦‍♀️ I couldn’t even work out how to make it come back, whatever we did it just went further away and into the trees 😩

Rose68 · 21/02/2019 13:53

You shouldn’t take the tablet whilst ttc, it has to be the pessary x

tigsyboo · 21/02/2019 14:12

I know the tablet works better in men to clear it.... my DH. Tried the cream once and it reoccurred as it's easily wiped off on underwear for men.... maybe wait until TWW and you use the pessary and DH uses the tablet??

ratherbeshowjumping · 21/02/2019 14:17

Yay @Kinsters and really glad your DH is there too!

Oh god @Rose68 what a nightmare about the drone. I hope your DS isn't too upset 😢

Aww @Frazzlerock that's very sweet. It must have been lovely to look back on memories you probably have completely forgotten about.

Saw this on FB earlier. Made me so angry. "Not What I Expected..." "Disappointment Group"... disappointed to have a healthy baby? Surely people don't actually join it to sit and lament their woes of being burdened with a "disappointing" gender?

BettySwoll0cks · 21/02/2019 15:04

Sorry? "Not what I expected"? Can that actually be serious. Those people need to have a word with themselves. They don't deserve the good fortune to be pregnant.

I know that sounds harsh but I find that attitude extremely upsetting.

Frazzlerock · 21/02/2019 15:09

@rather that is disgraceful! I agree with you @Betty, they absolutely do not deserve to be pregnant.

OP posts:
Frazzlerock · 21/02/2019 15:11

I feel like joining to give them a piece of my mind

OP posts:
BettySwoll0cks · 21/02/2019 15:23

I'm still raging about that FB group 😡 I think I'm quite good at looking at things objectively, and honestly even if I didn't have my own history of baby loss, I would still find that level of ingratitude absolutely outrageous.

ratherbeshowjumping · 21/02/2019 15:41

I think we all should Frazzle.

It's really shocking. I reported the group but god knows if it would make a difference or not. Almost 2000 people joining to sit & talk about their "disappointments."

😡

TwittleBee · 21/02/2019 15:44

I am so behind on chat today, but jeez what on earth is with those FB groups? What do they even talk about? I am so bloody confused.

DS is proper ill, so been with him as he only wants cuddles and is proper burning up. Hate seeing him like this, breaks my heart. He's so active usually but now he is all limp and sad looking.

Frazzlerock · 21/02/2019 15:58

Disappointed they have a healthy baby in there so far...
There is so much vileness in the world Sad

@Twittle oh poor little boy, everyone is ill right now. I hope he feels better soon. Lots of fluids, Calpol, and cuddles xx

tigsyboo · 21/02/2019 16:15

Really angry
Called Dr today as first proper day of missed period and got a locum (on the phone) who basically told me nhs aren't interested unless I've lost 3 babies and to 'keep my fingers crossed'!!

I gave him a right ear bending about how epu last time told me to ask for a referral when we next got pregnant to help with reassurance and that I had hcg monitoring last time and he just was not interested!!
My normal gp is back from holiday a week today so I have insisted I get an apt with her and they have reluctantly agreed to make an advance appointment
Fuming!!

I've been reading up on baby / low dose aspirin helping with clotting issues that many MC can be linked to- has anyone heard any pro/con stories ??about it
