Mid 30's TTC - you're my BESH mate you are..... <hic>

[triggerhappybaby]

We've taken delivery of a fine new sofa. Come and rest here

Just googled "Perfect Manhattan bump" and the first thing which popped up was this:

Morning!

I have common (as in frequent - I is well posh innit) 70's first and second names... In fact I know about three other people with the same two first names as me - very tedious.. Luckily I had an unusal surame.. and now have even more unusual one that no-one can spell

longwee am no MC expert - but does seem to depend how far along you were before it happened - as in the later it is the longer it takes to get back to normal.. I had mine at 10 weeks - but it had died at 6 weeks - took 35 days for first period after MC - then the days have been going down one per month since then - so am now on 31 day cycle... Which is about 2 days longer than it was before... think it depends on so much tho...

I don't know who anyone else is on facebum... have only got cosmosis and skihorse

If you look at ski and my's friends there are a couple of other mutual ones iggs.

Ooooh Longwee, what's your name? I luuuurve unusual names (if you wanna tell, you can msg me if you don't wanna announce to the world). Yeah, I do have a kick-ass name, am v. happy with it I recommend it to everyone having a DD [stalker lady emoticon]

Well, I've just realised I've been a prize twat: have started doing ov tests for this month (due Thurs or Fri) and realised I bolloxed up last month's and therefore SWI'd after OV . The Sunday before it was due, me and TYF had sweet monkey loving and all was goooood. Then that week, he was snowed under at work because it's a small firm and they always overwork everyone before they go on their hols (gits). On the Wed, I started getting mittelschmerz and thought, oooh, I must be ovulating and did an ov test. It came back neg. Can you see where I've gone wrong yet? Anyway, I kept testing and it kept being neg. On the Thurs and Fri I was insanely horny and 'moist'. Despite these rudimentary clues, I thought I couldn't be ovulating cos the fucking tests said not. Cos TYF was working over 12 hours a day and coming back knackered, I didn't push for sex . We didn't start shagging again till the weekend.

Well, I should've listened to my body, as I kept thinking 'but I'm ovulating, surely?' but the tests said I wasn't. But DURR - if you're already ovulating there's no point doing a test as it will show neg (they flag the pre-ovulation hormone thingies, don't they? Bah!). What. A. Fucking. Cretin. I've always listened to my body but I went a bit mental over the notion of actually TTC and for once, I ignored it. If I had heeded it, I could be updiffed now!

So all those symptoms were bollocks BUT at least I know I'm ovulating (probably)

Am forcing TYF into perfunctory sex every day now, so hopefully will avoid such stupidity.

Reeeeeeeeeeally shouldn't have watched 'Underage And Pregnant' last night on BBC3. Why do I do it to myself? WHY?

PS I really want to know everyone's 'real' names now

Aww thanks cossy. You may use it for your firstborn girl

Oooh ski that's made me even more curious as to why you won't tell!

Thanks iggy, but sorry you went through the mill with it as well It's a bitch innit

I am having phantom implatation pains at the moment - which is remarkable as I haven't OVed since I MCed... 2 weeks of obsessive fukin lunacy?? Can we make that a whole month.....?

Well everyone knows my job title and company so it wouldn't be hard to stalk!

wee I can't really help mate.my mc story is a bit shit and prob not relevant to you. (in short,I had a missed miscarriage that wasn't picked up til the 12 week scan .like beshie the baby side of the pg hadn't got beyond a few weeks,however everything else kept going.my stupid body was determined to be pg so had to have an op.a month later was still bleeding,had scan,stupid stupid stupid body still hanging on to a bit,had to have the op again)

however,very pointless and 'me me me' posting that as it doesn't help you at all. I would hope that as yours was early mc your body will get itself together soon,it does your head in not being able to get on with it afterwards doesn't it?

Think that bit of 'me me me' may have stemmed from the fact that my due date is looming,and I'm still not fucking pg.gggggrrrrrrr

scorpy it is indeed a lovely name and is on the longlist for fictional future offsprings.

I've been doing this since Jan and I still have no clue when I ov. The mittelschmerz could well be wind - as are the fake symptoms I have. Perhaps I should start taking this more seriously and go get tests.

Feel a bit trapped. I'll cross the rubicon of BOD in less than a month, I still haven't fully committed to the idea, but can't seem to give up on it now I've started. ginny thanks for the offer fo a small gin - when you put it like that..... I don't dislike small kids and find them cute an' all but I don't have the emotional response that, say, my BF had when she started crying on seeing her DH with a 2 year old. In short, I don't know what I want but I fear I have left it too late anyway or our combined bits won't work. I need to have an alternative plan for my life. Which will be a first as I actually never did have a plan.

Right - I'm making some medicinal martinis cos it sounds like we need them in here today. Peanut?

longwee it is indeed a lovely name. Exotic, innit?

think ski not telling as we have a pact to keep this thread away from any fights n stuff with others as it all got a bit much last time.(thanks ski)

Good call VAG. Can I have an olive in mine please. And just leave the dish there while you're at it.

Gin - sorry to bring all that up for you mate, sounds shite.

Scorpy - I looked up my name on baby name threads to see if it's on anyone's list and it was mostly described as sounding like an american stripper - so search for those words and you'll probably find it!

I wanna know what you name's are longwee and scorp

longwee is a bitch - i agree. So sorry you had one as well. How long ago?

ginhag I can totally understand wanting to be updiffed before due date.. mine is early Nov... I NEED to be updiffed before then or my brain will explode... sigh

VAG I not do kids either - is very rare I actually react... but since have been updiffed am now hormone crazed nut nut... and people should keep their babies away from me..

@ olives - devil's work

I believe my cycle to be back to normal (thanks lonwee for yr concern ). It might have helped if I hadn't gone for broke straight afterwards and had a second mc for my trouble. I will not be attempting any sort of fertilization until December when a) I should know that all is well, and b) I would give birth at the start of the school year.

I don't like martini. Can I have a sloe gin and bitter lemon please?

longwee is a bitch????

and iggs the new girl storms in throwing insults around willy-nilly. You've settled in well here iggs

"longwee is a bitch"??!!

SOB!!!

It'll take a few gins to get yourself out of that one iggy!!

@ iggy's foot firmly wedged in mouth

Yeh longwee you ARE a bitch

One foot still on the ground though, just in case...

Longwee sorry, I didn't see your bit about mc Big punch in the arm. Is your name Tawnie-Lynn? Nice. Are those calling you a bitch just jealous of your sexy stripper gyrating

Bah, have to go to work (no net access) - will no doubt miss acres of top chat .

Ta ra

• sorry longwee obv unintentional.... should have some punctuatiohn or at least the word 'it' or 'a MC' in front..

GAH... why can't I spell?!!!!

"potentially popular bandwagon"??!!

Oooh did someone say Martini? I'm having a tantrum at work - I've just been made expert/responsible for a computer system written in a language I haven't used in about oooh 11 years and I was never very good at anyway. Never mind, it's lunchtime. Green leaf salad, home grown tomatoes, salmon, walnut oil, balsalmic & sesame seeds - get me!

Ooh I have sesame seeds too. I have noodles, chicken, peppers, asparagus (que smelly wee) and sesame seeds.

Am hungry. Now.
