Still TTC, PPP and waiting to CCC - one down, and more than enough optimism to go around!

[calsworld]

Right, so I can't start this thread using anything like..."Here we go ladies!"

So, will have to come up with something completely different....

How about Congratulations Kay!

I think its me. But then again she doesn't like either of my SIL's DPs either. But she is very nice to your face and then slags you off to other people.

Sounds like she is just a bitch TBH. And a cowardly one at that, if she can't even say it to you.

I guess it is hurtful but the best thing you can do is just ignore it, take absolutely no notice, it's you and DH in a relationship, not you, DH, and her. You have nothing to prove to her, and neither do you have to bow down to her, she is just another person after all.

Even if you got up the courage to have it out with her, it wouldn't change anything about her, some people are just like this. It's sad for her really, how many people does she have that really love to be around her? Not many I'd expect.

Hello all, not much to report here today, just lots for me to do and not enough hours in the day as usual!

LG&T you sound very strong coping with everything, and so many children in your house!!! I wish there was something more useful I could say but I just end up rambling. I've added you on FB if that's ok, and like Nat said, if there's any way we can lighten your load

Kay, I'm going to try to wait a bit longer before telling my parents this time, with DD1 I spilled at about 2 weeks, with DD2 I lasted a bit longer, about 4 weeks I think

I cant be bothered to have it out with her. You're right she wouldn't change so it would be pointless.

MoosMa, I'll be about 5 weeks at the weekend and I honestly don't think I can waitmuch longer and keepit quiet.

The bloody spacebar on my laptop is playing up and its driving me mad. I have to nearly punch it to get it to work.

What do I say to the GP? Just that I am pg and I need refering to see the MW.

I am so silly.

I think when I went with mine I just said "I'm pregnant" and he did all the talking for me, but yes, what you just said should do the job.

And you're not silly, just excited!

Thanks. I will just say that then.

Hi All, just a quick drop in from me while DS has his nap. First day of my full week off with him and I am really enjoying so far (diet not faring too well - big bar of galaxy when he first went down for nap - ah well, shall just have to run around lots with DS this week !
Kay - what you said sounds fine to say to GP, I know what you mean, as I felt silly every time I had a GP/MW appt in first pg - feel like I am old enough to know what I'm talking about but I don't, IYKWIM.
Nat, glad to hear bump is going down.
LG&T sounds like you are coping amazingly, sorry I don't know anything useful to say, but thinking of you and DD (and your houseful of 10 children this week - I don't know where you get the energy)!
Kayz - do enlighten us how your appt went when you get back, as I'd love to know what I should say to GP if/when it happens to me.

I will do Star, if my old MW hadn't retired I would have just rang her and asked her if I needed to see GP.

I remember when we went to the doctors with my first pregnancy, I said 'I'm Pregnant' and he said something along the lines of "Ooooh, what are we going to do about that then?" and handed me a leaflet about terminations! DH took the leaflet out of my hands gave it back to the GP and said "ermmmmm, I think it normally follows that you have a very well planned and much wanted baby" I could have kissed him

Awww bless him!

I went alone for my first GP appointment(and my first MW one too) The doctor said to me, probably cos I was alone "are you happy?" I of course said yes so he then said "Congratulations what great news" The girl before me was a 14 who was pg and being forced into a termination by her mum(no the gp didn't tell me that her mum did)

Heehee Nat, that reminds me of that film (can't remember which one, maybe a carry on?)

'Mrs Jones I have some good news for you'

'Miss Jones'

'Oh..... Miss Jones I have some bad news for you'

I felt like I had to have DH with me to show off the fact that I wasn't the stereotypical 'teenage mum' that we were married, and that he was planned and not an accident etc. Felt like that for a long time even after he was born, and to some extent even now, I don't wear gloves even in the bitter winter because I want people to be able to see my wedding ring How sad am I?!!! LOL

It meant, well means a lot to me though that people don't place me in a bracket. And I can feel every old womans eyes on me that has ever looked at me that way. I have been known to purposefully stick my finger up in a slightly obvious way scratching my head or something just so they spot the ring!

Pah, you lot with your minds in the gutter, you thought I meant stick my fingers up to swear at them, didn't you? C'mon tell the truth!!!

LOL Moosma, yep that was it, but in reverse!

PMSL thats funny Moosma!!

My SIL sat there when we told her and MIL that "accidents happen" and that I yes me should have taken precautions. Apparently ds cant have been planned.

Now she is my best friend(yeah right) and wants to see ds all the time. Like when MIL took ds to Leeds to visit her and came home 5 hours late.

Nat, I have to do that too!

We went to dh Granma's funeral and there were a couple of really religious people and I couldn't wear my wedding ring due to fingers swelling up. It was on a necklace round my neck. After 2 hours of snide comments and dh being very upset about his granma he snapped and pointed out my wedding ring and said "we are married you interfering busybodies" and he stormed out.

Oh I am glad it isn't just me.

It is stupid really, because half of me thinks why the hell do I give a shit what they think, I know we're married, and that it was before I got pregnant, and that the kids were both planned and much wanted, etc. but I still feel the need to point it out at every opportunity!

LOL are we crackers?

I wasn't married when ds was concieved!! we did only find out the day before we got married though. As we were told by the GP it was impossible to get pg straight away after being on the pill we never expected it to happen.

Right I am off. Knowing my doctors I'll get seen at around half 5 not half 4 when my appointment is.

Be back soonish.

Good luck

Hello! First chance I've had to get on here all day - bloomin' work, doesn't half get in the way of life Just wanted to lend L&G some reassurance on the colposcopy. Colposcopy is my middle name - I've had several beacuse of dodgy smears (up to CIN 3), and also large loop/cone biopsies, so ask away if there's anything at all you want to know!
Good luck at the Dr's Kals! I know exactly what you mean about what to say etc..makes fools out of grown women this pregnancy lark!
af still not here, though horrendous pains, so deffo on its way. And I was sort of liking having a 22 day cycle too!

Hello everyone just look at my doinking record this month...

CD1 - CD 5 Af was staying over
CD6 doinked
CD 7 slept
CD 8 doinked
CD 9 doinked
CD10 doinked
CD11 doinked
CD 12 doinked
CD13 doinked

And today is CD14

Going to try and doink everyday now until CD18, do you think that is enough (cycle is 28 days long) as I am knackered.

How committed am I this month.

Have a rather embarrassing question to ask you all though and it really is TMI!!!!!! Is it ok to ask and will you all still respect me afterwards?

Hello both

Diege, test.

LL, ask.

ummmmmmmm What is the best way (with out drugs if possible)that a person (not me of cause) can get rid of............... Thrush in the mouth.....
