The caravan of crap! for those of us who are browned off but not to the extent of those over there in the hut

[Thelittlesoldiersmummy]

Well welcome to the caravan sat on the top of a hill somewhere in Dorset some days its good here the weather is fine and all is happy other days the weather is crap and so is everything else!

Feel free to come in be happy, sad or just moody - Just no counting dates or charting or temping just us girls having a chat over a cupper looking out the window through the orange (yes orange) curtain x

I'm having lots of cramps today, it was quite mild this morning so I was taking it as a positive sign of ovulation - but its got worse and I've just taken a paracetomol so I can walk with ease! I don't usually get cramps on ovulation but have felt it at times. Either that or we did some over enthusiastic bd'ing

Congratulations to everyone who has got there BFP since the weekend. Sorry I haven't been around, so much has been happening in RL and I apologise now but I need a good RANT
Saturday went to local cricket match and DS really enjoyed himself. Sunday went to a friends private lake for a BBQ, fishing and canoing. Very relaxing in perfact weather. Monday had a Donkey Derby and Fete for our local community trust. Again DS had a wonderful time. Tuesday my Aunt arrived for a 2 day visit. She is DS's Godmother as well. DS went completely over the top, showing off, generally misbehaving, hissy fits, mega tantrums. Was having a BBQ myself that night so as a punishment for his outrageous behaviour all day, I explained he could not come downstairs for the 'party' and he had to stay in his room. That's when it all kicked off.
MIL started on at me saying I shouldn't 'lock him away in his room'. I'd already snapped at my Mum so she went home.
Then MIL and FIL completely underminded myself and my husband and brought my DS downstairs and let him run around the garden. I lost it with MIL and slammed the back door and stayed in our bedroom for the rest of the night before everyione left. This was so embarrassing as we had a load of friends around as well as immediate family.
I have told my husband in no uncertain terms that I am not apologising to PIL as as far as I am concerned when they come into our house they abide by our rules on how we adapt our pareneting approach. I think they have forgotten the mistakes they made as parents in their younger days. It's now Friday and I still haven't heard from them.
Then to top it all AF turned up on Wednesday - 2 days early. Wasn't expecting to be pg this month with my back problems and not being able to bd at the right times. At least when we went out for a meal on Wednesday night I had a bottle of wine with my meal.
I have now chilled out and my aunt has left and my DS behaviour and returned in most part to as good as it was before she arrived. He was such a monster and have never ever seen him behave so badly. It was embarrassing to be out with him throwing these tantrums as everyone was looking at us.
Rant now over . Trying out the clearblue monitor this month. Don't understnd what is going on with my cycles. Before we were ttc regular as clockwork. The two months we have been trying I've been four days early and 2 days early.
Hope everyone is well on this beautiful sunny Friday morning.

libralady you poor thing my Dad does the same to me and it drives me mad! I have a rule that if DS does not eat his dinner no afters last time I was at my mum and dads I was told it was their house and my ds was having a treat like the rest ohh good thing is my mum was on my side and told my dad off but it the whole treating me like a child bit that makes me mad! So i know how you feel I would say sod the PIL they have to learn although I must admit I would have grabbed my DS there and then and put him straight back up stairs and made sure the MIL knew I was pissed! saying that I most probably would have dont the same as you Sorry to hear AF has arrived although with your back you knew it would good luck with the clearblue monitor I bought one too to use this month but thankfully I dont need to!

wooooo! sweetkitty hooray! big big big congratulations dg x

Just having a catch up as decided not to come back yesterday as was getting really emotional and just needed to keep busy.

liger - where are you then? Glad you're feeling more positive!

jacobandlysette - yes, that's true. I suppose my main problem is lack of control and information. I'm one of these people that NEEDS information and NOW, it's just the way I cope! Anyway, someone in the Health section has sent me a link to a website (www.daisynetwork.org.uk/index.html) and I now know the options available IF I need to go down that route (can't say I'm happy about any of them but it's good to know and think about things)

bobbydazzler - thanks, I hope so too. I must say dh surprised me by being pretty good yesterday. I hosted a Pampered Chef Show (wouldn't have done on same day as Dr's if I could have helped it but it's just the way it turned out and was probably good to have my friends around to take my mind off). Anyway, I suddenly realised I needed to go and get drinks and nibbles and burst into tears at the thought of going out of the house?!?!?!!?!!! So I phoned my best mate to ask her what she drinks (was hoping I could manage with stuff we had in the house) and then I burst into tears on the phone to her, was very pissed off with myself for that but she was great and offered to get stuff on the way over. Anyway, dh saw me like this, cuddled me and said he'd go out so I told my friend it was sorted. Felt so about getting so upset about just going out of the house

oh, oh, oh.....I'm scrolling up and down as I reply and just saw the bit about that thread.........I must go and have a look in a mo and see what you're on about

sweetkitty - OMG [looney does another jump for joy].....CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

libralady - for you getting upset at the party and at your PIL!!! HOW DARE THEY!!! I know what parents can be like but we have to stay strong and stick to our guns don't we!! They just don't have a clue do they!! Underminding you is NOT good as kids pick up and play on this!!! Not surprised you lost it, so would I!!

TLSM - hello

sweetkitty?!?!?!?!?!

thats fab!!!!!

OMG it's not me I haven't got a BFP it was a message to bobbydazzler to make her feel better about her post on the oldgimmer up the duff? thread i.e. did I tell you I got a BFP as she's delighted with her BFP!

I can understand why you all thought that sorry I must stop posting and go to bed when I'm tired at night double I know I fall quick but it's been less than 3 weeks since the mc give me some time ladies.

I feel really bad now but it's also kind of funny in a way.

libra - sorry about your PIL sometimes I feel like this my family laugh when I put DD1 in the naughty corner and make fun of it I feel like saying "so would it be better if I wolloped her across the back of the head for hitting DD2 like I used to get?" they hve short memories. Also sorry about AF turning up.

looney - sorry about your night but for your DH being a good un, hope you have a better day today

I'm a bit today first met someone I hadn't seen in a while and she was like "So when you due I heard you were expecting again? Make me and her feel bad when I tell her. Also my oven is still broken and I'm fed up with grilling and boiling food I have no inspiration for making anything as everything I want needs the oven. I have the part for it just need my Dad to come up and fix it.

Better go I'm supposed to be tidying the kitchen whilst DD1 at nursery.

Again sorry for the confusion over the BFP!

oh no! I feel terrible! aaaargh
I just re-read your original post and you're quite right. you never know - maybe it was a sign?

dg x

shit sweetkitty, im sorry. thought it'd be a bit quick

Sorry Sweetkitty

Was quite early this morning when I read it, so i did not read it right either.

I feel bad too as you were trying to make me feel better and i did not get it, sorry for being dense and sorry you feel crap.

I am a bit worried today as I have been getting abdominal pain on and off since last Thursday, like i am about to come on/have come on. I have done some research on the net and see that it can be normal to get low level ache as the uterus is expanding even in v. early pregnancy and provided there is no bleeding/spotting all should be ok. oddly enough it seems to ease off a bit when i eat/move around. Anyway I am off to the Doc this afternoon so can mention it to him.

Sorry again for denseness and glad that you can see the funny side.

oh don't feel bad it was my fault for the way I wrote it down

bobbydazzler - it's easy to stress about every ache and pain in pregnancy, you do get a fair bit of aches and pains from the stretching like you say, probably nothing try not to worry

sweetkitty - oh no, sorry, I did try and work out in my head how that was possible but re-read it and still thought it was you Glad you can see the funny side

Right, been doing lots of research about POF (Premature Ovarian Failure) and looking into options like I've had suggested. But, went to the toilet earlier and had a little EWCM so is that a good sign? Do I need to get dh to jump on me later?? I'm on CD9 today so not sure about this EWCM? Anyone able to advise?

sweetkitty - the ovulating medical miracle lol

looneytune - sounds promising to me, go to it girl get BDing, heres the tried and tested SK method (well it's worked once the other two were once in the months) anyway BD every 2 from CD10 to 20. To make it interesting and not all about ttc wear something different every night and do something different every night, make it a laugh and good fun. Good one is to go buy something nice to wear and surprise him with it, he thinks you have bought it for him and he's all happy, men are suckers bless them - my DP will say you are using me to get a baby aren't you not that I'm complaining.

I know that thing about having sex every couple of days around that time but if I have EWCM at CD9, does that mean I ovulate early (if this is what's happening - hope so).

And I don't need to do all that other stuff but thanks anyway. Our problem is making sure we don't do it every day atm as he needs to make his sperm of good quality!

he he good for you my main problem is staying awake long enough at night now, DP is running a marathon on Sunday so he says he needs to keep all his energy.

I don't know about ovulating early but it's worth BDing early then just in case.

Good luck to dh for Sunday then!

I wish I understood this CM and ovulation stuff better!! I did have a bit of a shooting pain on my right side either yesterday or day before and then today the EWCM. Someone did a good link to a website with this info but I've forgotten already and can't find the info!

sweetkitty good luck to your dh for sunday. my dh used to fall for the new lingerie one and then afterwards say - o'h we're trying aren't we? bless.....

morning all ! Bliney its quiet its been quiet in here, I might give the place a bit of a dust and an airing! Then I'll put the kettle on in case someone else pitches up!

sweetkitty I'm so so sorry about the mix-up, I do hope it hasn't left you feeling bruised? But it does show that we all genuinely want good news for you - and as soon as it can come!

I am in Indonesia, home is London, but we are here for the year. Our careers are world roaming ones, its how me and dh met, even though I am a SAHM now.

I'm getting cramps again today. Anyone got any idea's what might be going on? Trying not to worry but its not the norm I'm cd13 now so i just hope its an extra special egg thats being hatched

Hi
Can I join. I am a bit new to posting, have been more of a mumsnet reader for a while. I have just found the caravan. I am on cycle to 10 of ttc although had an early mc at end of June. Dont know if I start counting from there.
Plus think the caravan may be good luck as my first ds may have been concieved in a caravan in wales. (Sorry if thats too much info)

Hi Tizzwiz

Just popping into the beautiful dust free tidy caravan to say hello and good luck and very sorry to hear of your miscarriage.

I hope you have lots of luck in this lovely caravan (I did ). I am sure you will find plenty of support.

Morning all,
I know today is going to be pretty crap. Already it all seems to being going wrong. DS came into us at 5am and decided he didn't want to go back to sleep. His head collided with mine and I've now got a lump the size of a duck egg basically where the eyebrow ends and my right eye is turning black. I've now been awake for 2 hours and I'm going back to work today after three months off recovering from spinal surgery. Also DS is starting nursery full time today! He is growing up soooo fast. I can't believe this time next year it will be his first day at proper school. Time is flying by and I want another DC before it is too late!

Oh BTW, well done liger, the caravan looks and smells fantastic. You did a really good job yesterday. You don't want to come round and do my place do you?

ouch libra thats got to hurt do you know I get more bruises from the DDs than anything I get headbutted, the make me bite my lips, tongue etc I'm telling you jabeing DCs is dangerous.

Caravan smells lovely I'm feeling like crap right now so I've got a few bottles of Pinot some G&B's and some cheesy DVDs and am staying here under my duvet.
