Issys girls.....10 down, only 4 to go! :-)

[Bubblebell1]

So here it is... our shiney new thread... hope you all see it soon or i will be here all on my own.

sif - can you not change your name, you don't have a profile or anyfink to give you away photo wise .

How on earth did they 'out' you? Unless your called 'first name Sifuentes'

Hello, sorry to be dense but Sif, what do you mean by "outed"? I mean, I know what you mean, but who has outed you and how oh how did they find out who you were? Esp as Blue says, you don't have a profile page. Neither do I for the same reason. I'd tell MN-ers anything, but if anyone in RL found out what I post here I'd die, I tell you. Die.
Maybe I'll change my name too. Sunnydale has not exactly been lucky for me. That's what you get for calling yourself after a vampire-infested town full of death and horror. Duh! I should have known! (Sunnydale laments her own Buffy obsession)

Hey Sunny - I changed my name after my first mc.. Of course I went on to have another one but stuck with the name as was all out of inspiration at that point.

I was outed on my old name on an ante-natal thread but I had my photos on-line so what did I expect . Did wonder why person was perusing the ante-natal threads when they weren't pg but didn't really bother me other than they knew I'd had a mc as had to bow out.

Maybe sif has such a unique writing style that she's instantly recognisable .

Aw, sif don't go... Think up another name and then come and drop some clues for us to follow. Will keep our minds busy instead of fretting about 2ww/oving/bding/pregnancy etc etc

I tell everyone everything anyway, not too bothered if anyone finds me on here. I've just told my boss about my two mcs because I went over a certain number of sick days and HR had flagged it up. He came to see if it was anything work related, and if there was anything he could do, he said I didn't have to tell him anything, but I thought what the heck, we're all human. He then proceeded to tell me he and his wife had lost 5 babies and had stopped trying as it was too distressing for them. I nearly burst in to tears...

Thanks for explaining, Blue. Oh god, I am bricking it. I am SO changing my name.
Funnily enough, Sif, (not to make you feel paranoid or anything) I did think I knew you because you write very much like someone I know. Then I realised I was being ridiculous - as if. Also, what you do for a living is different to what they do which, unless it is a cunning ruse, means I don't know you from Adam. Phews all round.
Head, I totally respect you for being honest in RL and as I said to Girl the other day, I reckon being honest makes the bad stuff a bit easier to deal with. I feel hugely pressured having to go into work all like nothing has happened. But trust me: I can't tell. It's because I am Liz Hurley! Ha ha ha, sorry, it's the hormones, I am clearly under the illusion that I am hilariously funny when I'm not. Just trying to cheer myself up - well, you have to laugh after a mc, or you'll cry.
Girl, thinking of you, really hoping you are ok.
Hello to everyone else [Sunnydale, soon not to be Sunnydale as soon as she thinks up another name, waves]

sunny I totally get where you're coming from. I've always worn my heart on my sleeve all the time and it's not always been the best thing. Sometimes I can be a little too free with my personal life. This time it worked out, but sometimes it comes back to bite me...

Oh and you can't be Liz Hurley because I am (well I have her figure so I must be )

Hi everyone,

Gosh you have all been busy since I was on last.

girl I am hapy to hear that you are being well looked after Hope you are feeling ok.

Sunny hope your doc gives you more helpful advice and takes action for you. Hope you are feeling ok too.

Bubble hope your MIL's visit is going well - and that you had a brilliant time at your sister's 21st.

Sif OMG you have just experienced my biggest fear - although no one I know should be on MN (then again they would say that about me... will be taking my pics off the profile methinks)

Head how is the house hunt going - have they come back to you yet with a solid acceptance? Hope it goes quickly for you. As for hours of work - very random - Monday it was 8 a.m. - 4 p.m., back in at 6 p.m. for anhour, back in at ten p.m. until 4 a.m. Tuesday 12 p.m. until about 4.p.m., weds 1 a.m. until 4 a.m. back in at 12 p.m. until 9 p.m. It'll all be over by the end of this week until the August bank holiday weekend though.

I'm halfway through the 2ww and not doing too much symptom spotting. Did feel queasy this morning in the car and the milk in work tasted off but there could be another reason for that.

We had some bad news in work, one of the accountants who was absolutely lovely died lst week. He was diagnosed with leukemia last Wednesday and got a bleed on the brain on Friday and passed away. It was such a shock - we were all astounded. The funeral was this morning and irony of ironies it would have been his 35th birthday today. I think I'm still shocked. I've never had this situation before.

Also more drama, my 5 yo niece's best friend (who we all know because we never hear about anything else ) was attacked by their neighbour's dog last week. The poor child had to get 30 stitches in her face and she still hasn't opened her eye so the docs can't say if it's ok until she does. God bless the child - the dog has obviously been put down since.

It's all go here this weekn.

Anyway better go - my house has been sadly neglected since I started crazy work hours - plus thedog is killing the kittens so need t stop that happening.

Irish at those hours! They sound horrendous, and I'm a veteran of nights. I hope it all gets back to a more sensible routine soon.

So sorry to hear about your colleage, how dreadful to go so quickly like that, and so young.

What a dreadful experience your poor neice's bestfriend went through, I hope her eye is ok and it's all just the swelling that's stopping her opening her eye.

We did get some good news this morning on the move. The people whose house we offered on (but who wanted more to take it off the market, we refused) have come back and said they'll accept our offer, and have taken it off the market, which is one step closer to moving.

We're exchanging on our flat on Friday, and we're completing on Friday 7th August. We'll be moving in to my sisters house for a month as she's on holiday then, and then we'll be in with my mum and dad.

So we move out on the Friday, and on the Tuesday dh has his operation, so at least I won't have to heft any furniture or stuff around on my own. Of course, if our purchase goes ahead quickly I'll probably be moving in on my own, with dh directing operations from his comfy armchair!

Thats great news head... hope everything goes smoothly from here on in! It's so great that you have options of places to go while it all sorts out!

sunny please don't change your name, it took me ages to get to grips with everyone (selfish emotiocon!) sif, hope it's not too embarrasing for you!

Hi everone else!

gosh, sorry girl I got really sidetracked there.. so glad you're back home and safe. So sorry you had to lose a tube, I have read of a few people on here getting pg from their tubeless side after an ectopic (Lord knows how, but if it's meant to be I guess an egg will find a way to meet that sperm!) and I know of several people who've got pg after having a tube removed after an ep.

Take care of yourself, enjoy being looked after for a while.

thanks head i have been doing loads of reading too, it took us`over a year with two tubes so feeling a bit down, but like you i have read of loads of people who get PG straight away, and from the side with a missing tube... so just have to keep trying and hoping!

Hi girls,

sif i too have been outed.. but i dont care. if they feel the need to follow my life on here then thats thier problem not mine!
I also wear my heart on my sleeve and will tell anyone my most intimate sectrets then think afterwards perhaps i shouldnt of told them that!

girl im sorry u had to lose a tube. i am keepin everything crossed that u get pg again soon.

irish how awful for your neices friend and your colleague. good luck for your 2ww. i hope this is your lucky month

My night out was brilliant and ive really enjoyed my MIL being here. she goes home today and i will have to get used to doing everythin myself again

I also have had some terrible news. the fox killed all 4 of my rabbits! im finding it hard to deal with.

im on day 9 now and no sign of the nasty side effects. I do have an embarrasin problem tho..... im constantly aroused! is that a side effect??? its driving me up the wall.

hope ur all well

Hi all,

Just having my usual catch up while DS snoozes. I suffered the hell that is soft play this morning so I could wear him out good and proper so he has a decent nap. I was planning on hanging out at the park but annoyingly the weather had other ideas.

Girl I hope you are feeling as ok as you can do. I?m sorry to hear that you lost a tube but as many have said ? it doesn?t spell disaster although I realise that it may feel like that at the moment. I too think honesty is the best policy with work. When I miscarried at the beginning of this year I told my immediate boss and one colleague in my team. It was a small company and it didn?t go to HR ? they just kept the finance/HR manager off my back and gave me all the time I needed whilst keeping quiet about what happened. I was actually working my notice at the time so I felt that if they didn?t know they?d think I was taking the piss, so to speak and I wanted to leave on good terms.

Sunny I can also understand why you are reluctant to tell people at work. I would have been mortified if what happened to me was common knowledge. I worked in a pretty harsh environment at times ? very few women around for one thing so I can get some idea of what you may be feeling. Touchy feely my office was not. I hope that manage to give yourself some time to heal whatever you choose to do.

Sif Major bummer being outed. I don?t know what you have been found posting that you may not have wanted to be seen but I hope the implications aren?t too scary! I will now be taking my picture off my profile. I write some pretty close stuff here ? not just in terms of ttcing but I have made comments on a number of things that I wouldn?t necessarily want some people to read. Whatever the case I hope we get to chat sometime soon with you in disguise ? we are so close in due dates it would be a shame to lose touch!

Irish I was sorry to read of your colleague passing so suddenly. Jesus, 35 years old is not a fair time on this earth. Also sorry to hear of this dog attack on your nieces friend. It sounds horrific. I hope her eye is ok in the end. My DS, much to my concern loves dogs. I don?t want him to be scared of them but it is difficult to explain caution to a toddler and that the Staff Bull Terrier running around when we are feeding the ducks isn?t necessarily as friendly as his Granny and Grandpops soppy retriever.

I hope your funny strong sense of smell and taste are indicative of good news from you soon!

Head That?s such great news about the vendors accepting your offer. Just shows you were right to stick to your guns and not be harried into doing something rash. What with your DH?s operation have you thought of using a removals firm rather than doing it yourself? I know it?s not cheap but sometimes its worth spending the money. DH and I moved into this house ourselves but know when to call it a day so are getting quotes from several firms for this move.

Bubble I?m so sorry to see that a fox took your rabbits. The wretched things are responsible for a lot of very upset pet owners I think. They can be very beautiful creatures but are also merciless killing machines ? a fact that a lot of people tend to forget. On the positive side, that?s a cracking side effect from clomid! I think if that were more common a lot more people would be on it I just hope you make the most of it

Hello all

Bubble, sorry you've been outed too. And sorry for your rabbits. That must seem extra-awful, I imagine, when on Clomid, as everything must seem magnified by the hormones. But hey, what a side effect, too! I hope DH is taking advantage! You'll have a BFP in no time at this rate!

Sif, does this mean you've deserted us? Gone, never to return? (the penny drops very slowly chez Sunnydale). Please say it ain't so!

Irish, just awful about your colleague. You must all be so shaken. Sorry too about your niece's friend. Two horrible, tragic events. On the bright side, really hope it is your month this month and that you're not too tortured on the 2ww.

Head, so good about the house. Hurrah: a shiny new home for you, Mr Head, Junior Head and Bean Head.

Girl, how are you today? Sorry you are feeling blue. The pg hormones will still be floating around your body, so it's understandable. Are you trying to keep busy or trying to keep un-busy? I went for the busy option. Doing nothing made me spin out.

Talking of being outed and not being able to tell people in RL: I had a horrible meeting with my manager today, in which he more or less said that, given I'd had 3 days off sick and 3 days off for a funeral in such quick succession, maybe I could take some of it as holiday in order to use up the vast amount of days I have outstanding. I couldn't believe it! Surely this is illegal! Not to mention insulting. Like, pardon me for not being able to control my health and my father in law's health. You can see why I couldn't tell him about the MC. And to think it even crossed my mind... sorry, still angry!

Hello to Wasabi, Blue and Issy (Sunnydale waves with the free hand not holding a Penguin biscuit)

Morning All

I'm just up [bliss ]. DH and me were at the totally rocking Bruce Springsteen 'gig' last night so we both took today off work to recover as DS is at his grannies on a Wed and stayed there last night. We had a fantastic time, I love BS, totally the best live performer I've seen. I kept welling up at times as was so emotional, especially singing along to 'The River'. Kept patting bump too in a reassuring/look how far we've come way. Also lovely to spend quality time with DH, he's taken the last year hard too and it was nice to look back and be thankful we've come through it. Of course as he had no chance of nookie this morning, he took himself off to the golf course .

Anyhoo, that's my update..

Sunny - at your boss - prat. Are you having to take them as hols? Hope you enjoyed your p-pick up a penguin .

Bubble - how awful about your rabbits, what a sight that must have been, poor you. As wasabi says, fox's may look all cuddly but they're deadly. I'm slightly of your horny status on clomid. Can't remember the last time I felt horny - hurrumph.

Girl - lovely to hear from you and glad your reading up loads. I bought the famous Dr Lesley Reagan book after my 2nd mc and found it very comforting and reassuring too. Just becasue you took a year to conceive this time doesn't mean you'll take another year. Have you read about the Deanna Plan? Its always mentioned on threads here, about timing your bd from day 8 of cycle etc. Right now though, you need to take time to recover physically and emotionally, but keep positive x

Irish - what terrible news about your colleague. It really floors you when its so out of the blue and someone so young . Hope your crazy working hours distract you from the 2 or is it now the 1ww..

Head - fingers and toes crossed everything goes through for house. You've got a quiet few month's ahead no? DH's op, moving x 3, settling into new house, looking after DS oh and having another baby - phew! Don't overstretch yourself OK?

wasabi - lol at 'the hell that is softplay' you said it! I can't even sit and read whilst DS goes on everything, I have to go on everything too which is hell when you're suffering from ms and have a growing bump!

sif - hope those false specs and nose are in the post so you can get back on here..

Issy/Jumping/Suzi - how are things with you?

Off to have my shower. Deal with DS was that he agreed to go to grannies overnight on the condition I picked him up early today - he's a steely negotiater that one .

Hi girls!

how are you all??

blue im glad you and your dh enjoyed some quality time together.

sunny say to your boss... seeing as youve been such a knob all your life.. could u possibly have just 1 day off over the next few weeks.... what a creep.
i hope your alrite chicka xxx

how is everyone else??

irish any news

xxxxxx

Good evening Ladies

Gosh we've all been very quiet recently haven't we? Hope everyone is ok and the stresses of house moving/jobs/interviews/ttc aren't getting too much for you all.

Jumping hope things are ok with you - haven't heard from you for a while - how did the interview go on the 8th?

Head delighted that you got your house. Did I read on another thread that it's your birthday soon? Work has calmed down a little thank God. I've told my manager that they are putting me in a hotel next time as I live an hour from work and it's not fair disturbing my sister's house everytime I need somewhere to lay my head.

Bubble so sorry about your little rabbits - hope you are ok. How's the Clomid treating you now?

Sunny that man sounds like my old boss - if you had more than one migraine in 6 months he brought it up. They are so insensitive.

blue I acually read your last post during a sneaky peek in work yesterday and was very jealous of your lie in. Glad you enjoyed the Bruce concert - loads of my friends went to see him in Dublin and loved him.

Sif hope you get back soon.

girl sounds like you are reading loads. Hope you are feeling beter now.

wasabi I LOL at your tiring DS out at softplay - I do the same with my dogs. Yesterday it was lets all jump in as many puddles as we can. The green in my estate can get very waterlogged. Suffice to say my poor tracksuit was sodden after it.

Hello to anyone I've missed - Issy how are things, Suzi hope things are ok with you - come back and let us know how you are doing if you can.

So on to my news - wel I don't have any TTC related at the mo. I'm determinedly not symptom spotting - it's all pointless anyway so I'm going to wait to next Thursday which will be 2 days overdue and then test if nothing has happened. i will be strong (says she who has no willpower )

My Dad's birthday was great - he really enjoyed it. My niece's friend still hasn't opened her eye but it's still quite swollen so fingers crossed for that.

In work, we have all decided that we are going to Edinburgh for a girlie weekend in September to cheer ourselves up a little. It's not costing us much at all Ryanair are doing very cheap flights! Woohoo. There are about 10 - 12 of us going. HOpefully we'll all get theholidays now.

And finally, DH has agreed to get his legs waxed for charity. Friends of ours are going to Haiti to build houses for the homeless there and he's going to raise money for them. My beautician friend said she would teach me how to do it as she can't go on the night. Hee hee [evil emoticon]
Well that's loads of news for now - Thanks Crunchie it's Friday tomorrow and the weekend beckons. We're heading out for my little sister's 19th Sat night. Will have to test just before perhaps just in case. (told you no willpower)

ok so as soon as I say no symptom spotting - they al come along like buses.

SO last night in hed got a pain in my side quite low down - it was CD 22. Then since yesterday have felt quite bleugh and weirdest of all have the most rampant indigestion. I never get indigestion and have not changed my eating habits.

SO I know I am probably being very dramatic and OTT but hey. Have got 2 CB tests one to try tomorrow morning before I go out with my sisters in case I need to not drink.

Hpe everyone is ok - Bubble commented on your other thread - hope the pain isn't too bad.

Morning all

so you know how I said I was testing this morning before going out with my sisters..........

BFP

Now I am only 10 DPO but the line was there after seconds although it is faint. I am going to test again on Monday and see how things go.
DH isn't getting excited yet - I've told him too many stories from here but I'm defiantly hopeful.

Girls, I'm still in shock - I knew something wasn't right with indigestion 24/7 so ... watch this space for an update on Monday.

Also, what do I do about my drinking session with my sisters - they don't know I'm TTC.....

Irish.....OMG!!!!!!! Im soooo happy for you, well done girl, take it easy & get hubby to run arround after you. Big big hugs to you both xxxxxxx

Irish Congratulations!!! A BFP is a BFP is a BPF... I knew it would be your month, just had a feeling...

re: your sister - can you not tell her you're hungover/recovering from virus/sickness/all the usual excuses .

So, so for you my lovely!!!

to everyone else x

Congratulations Irish! That's fantastic news.

Hi everyone else.

Irish!!!!! So happy for you! I also knew it would be your month. I'm not even surprised at your news - I was actually just drumming my fingers waiting for it! Many congrats - aah, another BFP, just brilliant, what an uplifting thing.

What I'd do is when it's your round, get a lemonade and pretend it's a spirit. First round, get a water and claim you're "parched". I also got my DH to get me sneaky Kalibers (no alcohol lager) but it tastes rank, though. Many congrats again xxxxxxx

Hello to everyone else, will post later, DD's bed-time beckons (Saturdays are the hardest day for me, post MC, I find. I wonder why?)

Yehay!!!!! Brilliant news Irish! We needed some good for a change! So glad it's this!!! Sending sticky thoughts!

Ah thanks everybody - I am still in a state of shock I think. I spent about half an hour shaking and just looking at the stick.

The sisters postponed the night out until next week so I am off the hook there for now.

I'll talk to you all tomorrow

NIght
