Thandeka · 09/06/2009 08:01

Thandeka is off for her bloodtests today to check they have doubled as expected. The fact she nearly vommed last night when DH reeled of a list of foods such as breadsticks and hoummous (which I love normally) is hopefully a good sign? I never felt this bad in the MMC pregnancy.

Thandeka also feels she should maybe disappear from this thread if people want it to stay a TTC one, but she does value its support while still in the MC danger zone and under investigation from the hospital. But promises faithfully not to write silly insensitive posts (on here and in RL FB) if this one works out this time as she knows how evil it is to read such posts. So is it okay if I still hang here for a little while?

Thandeka · 09/06/2009 15:59

Thandeka tiptoes on to say she threw up her breakfast this morning (never vommed in MMC pregnancy) and blood test results show HCG is doubling normally.

ray81 · 09/06/2009 17:18

Thandeka congrats thats great news, i for one think you should stay here.

i realy dont want to alarm you but i was being sick right up until i had the erpc with my mmc 3 weeks ago and i was sure s i was being sick nothing could be wrong. please please dont read too much into anything just take it as it comes, i know thats so hard as i have had 4 mc and know i will be an emotional wreck if i fall again but have promised myself i will NOT get my hopes up until that baby is in my arms. i realy wish you all the best and so hope this works out for you

Thandeka · 09/06/2009 17:58

Thandeka is grateful to Ray81 for reminding her of this as otherwise Thandeka was going too far down the "Is going to be fine" road and we all know how much of a bump that can be when you come off it. Now safely back onto the "what will be will be and we'll see road" which is a much safer place to be. But trying to steer clear of the doom and gloom "it'll never work for me" road as that road contains pointless panic at this stage!

Thandeka is about to have a full body massage (antenatal safe) and is going to try not to vomit her carrot and coriander soup all over her masseuse!

ray81 · 09/06/2009 18:26

Ray is LOL at Thandeka vomiting on the masseuse wish i could be a fly on the wall.
Ray is also very glad that Thaneka is back on the "what will be will be and we'll see road" i do believe that is a very safe place to be. ray too went far to far down the " everything will be fine road" and it realy hurts when it is not fine.

On another note,

Ray is seriously pissed off as her friend who is due to give birth just called her to moan about not being able to sleep and being uncomfortable and just wanting the baby out. When ray told her that it would all be worth it when the baby arrives said friend then proceeded with " no i dont think it will".
Ray wonders if she would be able to kill said friend and be able to use "insanity" as a defense and get off going to prison.

Thandeka · 09/06/2009 19:40

Thandeka agrees to be expert witness at Ray81's murder trial citing immense pressure, temporary insanity and victims complete insensitivity for justifiable homicide. You'll get off no bother.

Thandeka managed not to vomit on masseusse but did get a runny nose during it and was under chinese water snot torture with the drips as she was face down with her head in a hole!

Thandeka's masseusse also taught her how to cast off on her knitting so Thandeka can finally finish the safe little bubble she has been knitting for herself to live in for time being.

ray81 · 09/06/2009 21:09

Ray thanks Thandeka for agreeing to be an expert witness at her murder trial and therefore getting her off.

Ray is very upset as she has managed to upset people on another thread and didnt mean too

Ray cant stop crying and also needs a bubble to live in so she can pretend shit doesnt happen to nice people.

Ray sincerly hopes that Thandeka keeps her little bean as that will cheer her up no end

Thandeka · 09/06/2009 21:24

Thandeka offers Ray81 space in her knitted bubble of sanctuary, and starts to knit furiously so she can knit a spare room - ooh and maybe a conservatory so there is room for everybody! (Thandeka also wonders about knitting a 50" plasma screen with endless supply of mindless DVD's to keep our mind of it.

Thandeka did read the post on the other thread and can see how it all got misconstrudled and is patting Ray's head from afar (in a non netmums "hugs" way!) as sometimes posters on threads can be quick to react without thinking about the people or the situation behind the post so in cases where the internet has caused upset sometimes is better to step away from the internet and be with real life friends for a bit who get the body language and intention too behind what you are trying to say. (I speak as someone endlessly flamed when first venturing onto forums- and I just didn't get what I was saying was wrong- I mean anybody who votes tory/drinks nescafe/sends kids to private school is just a complete imbecile right? ;) )

mermaidspurse · 09/06/2009 21:32

mermaid says she hates facebook but offers ray a big hug.xx

ray81 · 09/06/2009 21:36

Ray hopes Thandeka can knit fast enough as it will get alittle crowded, and ray thinks the 50" plasma with dvds is just what we need for the next few months and if ray gets pg in that time thandeka will have to knit some more so we can stay til i get to 3 months.

Ray thanks Thandeka for her advise and promises she will not comment on things anymore as she hates upsetting anyone, it is better to keep ones mouth shut. Unless she knows the people involved well.

Thandeka · 09/06/2009 21:56

Thandeka thinks Ray should definitely still comment on things as variety of comment is what makes mumsnet so interesting to read but perhaps if Ray thinks she is posting something other posters might find contentious then Ray should consider how mentally strong enough she is for any potential fallout. Posting things of contention is enjoyable but I only ever do it when feeling very strong and secure in myself (which is rare) so I think I may have turned into a "fluffy LOL lmao Hun" poster. Oh god Thandeka realises she has just managed to just do what she was advising against so shuffles off sheepishly and apologises to anyone who enjoys fluffing ;).

I HATE Fluffy

Thandeka · 09/06/2009 21:59

man I sooo posted that with the "I HATE Fluffy" written at the bottom before I edited my sentence before so was about to delete that bit but accidently posted it,

So managed to compound my crime.

Thandeka hopes Ray is amused at Thandeka's sorry efforts to win friends and influence people in a cyber world!

ray81 · 09/06/2009 22:01

Ray didnt believe it would be contentious as she is stupidly niave and thought people would understand what she was saying. I am not emotionally strong enough at the moment and therefore will refrain.

Ray LOL at Thandeka shuffling off, as whatever she said went right over my head. Agian ray believes that she is stupidly niave or just plain stupid.

Ray now thinks we should forget about it and start sending positive vibes to Thandeka bean for it to stay just where it is.

Thandeka · 09/06/2009 22:11

Thandeka is shuffling off to bed and shall mention it no more and tommorrow a new dawn of humans shuffling along trying to be understood shall begin and so the cycle continues.

Thandeka sometimes wonders if she is too weird for her own good but also wonders if above update is the secret to the meaning of life, then remembers she is being weird again and probably needs sleep.

Thandeka says night night.

ray81 · 09/06/2009 22:23

Ray does not beleive Thandeka is being weird at all and agrees with her completely that that is the meaning to life, or perhaps she is and Ray is also weird and needs sleep so will shuffle off to bed and hope tomorrow is a better day and she will be understond.

Before ray goes she thinks there should a tired face also.

Tigresswoods · 10/06/2009 18:18

Tigress is late replying but defintely thinks Thandeka should stay on the thread.

This isn't supposed to be a bitter place, just a place to vent what you cannot write elsewhere. I think we scared someone else off a few days ago without meaning to

Anyway, what are we here for? Facebook updates!

Tigress thinks the whole EWCM thing is bollocks and cannot accurately pinpoint when the bloody hell she is ovulating, Clomid or no Clomid.

OP posts:
Thandeka · 10/06/2009 19:09

Thandeka once thought she ovulated out of her nose in a moment of full on TTC insanity- she blew her nose and got all excited about the EWCM and then remembered it was in wrong place!

Thandeka studied reproductive physiology for a while at university (only module got a first for!) and has charted for years so is happy to try and help Tigress work it out if she wants (but draws the line at furkling for anyone elses EWCM )

Thandeka is also aware her obsession with furkling for EWCM (her own not anyone elses!) probably doesn't help her win friends and influence people!

Tigresswoods · 11/06/2009 07:58

Tigress seems to have made a virtual friend who wants to help her identify lady snot!

Thanks for the offer of advice Thandeka, the next few days are "supposed" to be the right days so will be keeping my wits about me to notice any signs. Intrigued by "firkling"

OP posts:
Thandeka · 11/06/2009 08:34

sounds grim but once you get used to it - checking cervix position is dead easy- should be high soft and open when most fertile.

Lady snot- best phrase ever and ewcm soooo needs to be rebranded as that!

Thandeka is keeping fingers crossed for Tigress and also trying to keep her breakfast down- strangely discussions of ladysnot doesn't make her boak but the smell of mango juice, and the thought of soggy courgette does!

paddington21 · 11/06/2009 20:00

Paddington's drink nearly came out of her nose! when she read Thandeka's comment on lady snot coming out of her's!! You have to stay here and we can knit together a whole knitted virtual world (oooh)

paddington is very jealous dp is going out while im writing parent's evening thingys and reports i so would love to have to boozy night out!

paddington is also on the verge of giving up hope and is having a tight month and cant quite justify ovulation sticks until next week- it will be too late oh well 3 weeks of sex just incase!!

Thandeka · 11/06/2009 20:31

Ooooh Thandeka sees Paddington is a teacher too. Oh the joys of parents evening- I have Y9 coming up and am praying I am still signed off for it.

Thandeka is also jealous of 3weeks just in case sex- since she is still banned for time being. She is becoming the ice queen! (Thandeka then ponders the freezing qualities of lady snot and thinks she should probably shhhhhhhh now!)

paddington21 · 11/06/2009 21:36

paddington is trying to write her parent's evenings... but unfortuntely she just cant be arsed! Us knitting teachers need to stick together!
The freezing qualities of snot- oh my lord!

paddington21 · 11/06/2009 21:40

paddington is also wondering if dp gets drunk tonight will she get lucky? Oh no wait thats what happens when you have an actual sex life not a making baby sex life*.

Paddington is pondering/worrying she wont get pregnant by drunk sperm if she got lucky anyhow

*paddington realises this is only true for herself not a generalisation of others.

paddington21 · 11/06/2009 21:42

paddington is shamelessly avoiding doing work by being on mumsnet.

paddington is jealous of lucky friends who are not enduring the hell she is and still going out, spending lots of money and generally having a good carefree time

Thandeka · 12/06/2009 11:11

Thandeka threw up a whole apple this morning and is sadly very excited by this(Thandeka hastens to add it wasn't whole on way back up). Thandeka also wishes she could put on her real facebook about how sad she is about her friend's death but since not everyone knows yet its not really appropriate. So if its okay with you Thandeka is going to put it here:

Thandeka is going to miss Kiran a lot- she was the life and soul of the party- and gatherings shall be subdued without her spark in it.
