Just MC...Long haul, short haul, ranting, weeping, laughing all encouraged. Oldies and newbies very welcome

[liahgen66]

Ok, feel a bit scared actually starting the new thread but here we are, for however long (or short) our time here may be.

Off you go ladies. Welcome () one and all.

blimey, MrsG, you want to warn people before doing posts like that one, needed a coffee (decaff, natchrelli) just to get through it - and then spat it all out again in huge laughing/coughing fit all over the keyboard when I got to sausage throwing...

Congrats on being petite btw, you could therefore pose in magazines

Unbuffy
I do have a tendancy to go on.

I posted it and there were 6 posts since I'd started. Ooops. waves to everyone

Down there is about the only place I am petite!
I have small hands and feet?

Can we have Mr G as a thread pet? Or does he need his own stats board?

Welcome back MrsG good to see you back on the board and always nice to read your posts.

Working from home today.. not done much yet though!

Nice to see you back MrsG. We can keep each other company during our long wait.

More blood tests for me again. The nurses now know me. I'm hoping for a HcG level below 100. That would mean no more blood tests.

Just come to join you ladies we lost our lo at nearly 16wks about three weeks ago still feeling really fragile, we know it was a little boy who we named Charlie.We know we will try again,but it still scares me as still won,t feel safe after the 12wk point.This was my third mc so we have been offered tests,but this would halt the ttc process for a few months.
Seems like this is a fast moving thread so i will try and keep up with everyone

Hurray for the wonderful return of MrsG - it's lovely to have you back doll xx

And hi bigmuther - I'm so sorry to hear about Charlie and hope that you and your DP are bearing up as well as you can be. You're right - this is a fast moving thread but I genuinely think this one of the loveliest corners of mumsnet, so hope you feel at home

Hi to everyone else. Day 11 for me and I seem to be producing an unholy amount of cm. (Hope none of you are having eggs for lunch )

That said, there's no peak just yet on the CBFM, but am hoping this means I'll be ov'ing in the next couple of days rather than on D18 like the last two cycles. DH isn't going to know what's hit him when he gets back from his work trip this evening.

Love to all xxxx

mrsgazebo that's great getting RTD and envelope together. Hopefully RTD cleared out remaining hormones so you can move onto TTC.

bigmuther65 welcome and sorry to see you here. I was also on the Aug thread and lost a little boy too, though earlier at 12 weeks. I know you had bleeding early on and a real rollercoaster and had everything crossed for you that you were past the 'safe' point. Lots of warm wishes to you and your other half at such a sad time xxx

Awww shucks! You guys, you made me feel all squishy and nice inside.

Bigmuther I'am so sorry to hear about Charlie. I hope you and Mr.BM are doing as well as can be.
Which tests are you having?
Sorry to be nosey, tell me to bugger off if you don't want to share yet
You're welcome to join Muser , Jolls and I in the bar at the side for a while twiddling our thumbs listening to hold muszac.

Mr.G would like a full job discription of Thread Pet Unbuffy then he may consider
He's currently walking round Town trying to find a sandwich place that isn't "blaring feckin' Irish shite" and swearing at people under his breath dressed in "frigging stupid plastic green hats and twatty glasses" who apparently "are not even Irish".
He's such a joy!
I am Irish (well 3/4)
I'm related to one of The Dubliners!

Muser would you mind awfully dear, if that when I do get my HCG results back, I annoy the living piss out of you with Q's?
You are quite the expert now

Bunny here's hoping that you're right but I like to be awkward and not really having a proper R2D2 hasn't givin me much of a clearout.
Tmi but only needed panty liners and didn't bleed through once.

We shall see, can pee in tiny tube tomorrow.
Came with very concise instructions.

Afternoon Ladies - anyone for birthday cake I have lots left over from yesterday?! (It's chocolate....)

Glad RTD (Red Tide of Doom) arrived MrsGazebo and you have your envelope - good luck and I hope your results come back clear : )

Bunnybaby I think I am in the same boat as you at the moment, crazy cycle etc etc although I think I may have missed the boat, not sure.......but I am doing that thing where I start thinking and feeling things! Hang in there Happygirl1

Fingers crossed Muser for a number below 100!

Welcome back Bigmuther, sorry to hear about Charlie, I know how fragile you must feel and I know how difficult it is to make the decision to wait and have the tests (I was 21 weeks). We waited and had the tests and I am so glad I did wait, I think that time although painful actually helped me to recover emotionally in the long run. I hope you are getting lots of support. x

Ooh ooh Dubliners, wow, blimey, cool and other words too! Excitment! Like Dubliners, and Pogues, and Worzels (can't help that, live in Somerset. It's compulsory).

Suggestions for thread pet duties anyone (apart from regular sausage updates for us to drool jealously over)?

HOW do you pee into tiny hole in envelope? Is it designed for men? Or are you supposed to use a funnel? Or a jug?

Yes please birthday cake for me I'm permanently starving atm!

Welcome back Bigmutha,and best wishes.

It's one of my many claims to fame

I usually reel that one out when drunk, just after I've made a show of myself Irish Dancing to "I'll tell me Ma" and other such like.
I think in my tiny mind it may sometimes persuade people that it was Irish dancing and not a collection of random moves that I was taught by a crazy Aunty 26 years ago.

Unbuffs thank you for sharing my concern about semantics of pee gate I realise I need a plan

I shall attempt to pee in a sample pot first
and then under strict instructions half fill tiny tube and push cap on firmly
( there are diagrams and everything! )
Put tiny tube in large tube....
I won't bore you all with the rest, riviting as it is.
I'll spoil the ending for you and tell you what happens cos I know you're all on the edge of your seats.... it's a picture of a postbox with an arrow with the envelope + sample going in.
I kid you not.

Cake for me too please, just had mackrel on toast though so it may go too well.

Mrsgazebo The tests would be some blood tests to see if they could answer why i keep having MC,s.Have a appointment at the hospital on the 25th,but from what i know the process can take a few months.Just really want to start trying as soon as possible i know that i could never replace charlie,but hate feeling so empty..

Aw, Bigmuther so sorry about Charlie, and everything that you're going through.

xxxxx

MrsG - you are taking peeing on things to a whole new level.

I still thought you were actually peeing right into the envelope. I really wasn't thinking properly.

xxxxx

Bigmutha Do you know if they are testing you for anticardio lipids and lupus?? The results took about 4 weeks to come back for me.

Bigmuther it won't be long honey, it will give you time to get your head round things xx

Bigmuther so sorry to hear about CHarlie - hope you are doing okay xx

Sooooooo tired today like just shattered shattered shattered.. had to tell someone else in work and it's just so tough. I dunno how you ever really get over a MC to be honest.

I was tempted GLB
I don't know if the instructions are clear enough

Well I've opened a can of worms now. I'm having difficuties with one of my guys in work.
He's been with the Company for about 15 yrs and thinks the rules don't apply to him.
He has a bad attitude and has no respect for me or my position.
He constantly underminds and questions me and yesterday towered over me and called me a liar.
All this because I asked him to move something.
I know this isn't the right place to share this (may try AIBU) but I'm sick of the constant feeling of anxiousness (is that a new word I just made up?)
Anyway I just don't need it at the moment, with all my baby failings and woe, I also dislike my job as it is, as it's changing a hell of a lot I'm only hanging on as the maternity package is pretty good.

I just called HR and they were great.
Fun begins tomorrow me thinks.

Sorry for the rant.
As you were.

Just dropping in to spy really, but saw I was on the list twice and my alter ego was 10 days late and spending the mortgage on pee sticks. I have removed her.

In reality we are in shag fest week and SWI like mad march hares.

This thread has made me so obsessed with CM I think I may have to make a pavlova to reinstate egg white in it's true place in my mind.

Hi to all, new and not so new. Mrs G you are a breath of fresh air ( as long as you haven't got that piss soaked envelope with you)

Managed to creep onto a craptop so can do full update before heading to the beach could get very used to this californian life, or maybe just the not working bit...!

Allthe8s - Happy birthday - save some cake crumbs for me....

MrsG - glad to see you back and for the sausage update... as for work, think being assertive and taking a stand can sometimes help - as at least it feels like you're doing something about it? LOL at the thought of you posting a piss soaked envelope back to the hospital!

bigmuther - thinking of you, and so sorry about Charlie x

happygirl - it took me about 5 weeks after ERPC to feel like I had a bit more energy and normal concentration levels - it's rubbish but just be kind to yourself, I desperately wanted to feel "normal" again, but now realise it's going to take some time. Have started doing some exercise again (in between eating burgers - why are burgers so yummy in the USA? anyway I digress...) in the hope that it will help boost my endorphin levels a bit - but it is very hard getting on that treadmill - have only managed it 4 times - still it's a start...

viv and alba you go girlfriends! [cheerleading type pom pom waving at the thought of lots of good quality slippery CM - there's a sentence I never expected to type]

As for me - still in the TWW - i hate long cycles and agree they should be banned. should be a good chance this month as on hols, but don't feel like I've actually ov-ed - so will have to wait and see. deliberately left all sticks at home to stop me obsessing, yet am creeping on here all the time! Met up with a group of english expat mums yesterday for their regular playdate (am staying with my SIL at the mo) lots of babies and pregnant tums which was tough - I should have had a pregnant tum too, but I got through it without cracking - just busied myself making tea.

big pints of guiness to you all etc!

MrsG - kick that twat's arse!! Your post sounded familiar to me - I have a chappy like that at my work, although he does the "standing over demanding stuff" crap to a lady who sits by me - my face is really like this when he does it and then I periodically explode [exploding emoticon] at the sheer unreasonableness of his shitty behaviour.

Last time he did it to her (and at the end of the day, was bullying her) I went over and stood right next to him in a slightly invading his personal space way - didn't say a word - I'm the same height, it took away his power. I think he was confused as to what I was doing. If you tell me where your office is, I'll come and do it to your office dickhead too if you like next time he does it.

< GLB wonders if standing over MrsG's desk in intimidating way is appropriate MN behaviour>

I AM OUTRAGED by this man I have never met.

xx

Slimyak's alter ego spending the mortgage pennies on POAS'

Vvvvvvvvvvvvv Clareanna it has been a sunny day 'ere ooop North but definitely not Beach worthy.
Ahh tea, yes, had lots of that today so, see our lives are very similar at the mo

Glad you managed to get through the swarms of babies and tums ok.
Thanks for the advice about work, what I'd like to do is tell the sad git to move out of his Mothers (he's 46), get a life and girlfriend and find a new job.
But that's not very professional is it now!

Happy don't push yourself too hard, it'll get better soon.

I'm going to the Pub tonight, I've not seen my Dad for 3 weeks and he owes me a nice juicy steak while I rant at him about Hospitals and work.
He hasn't a clue bless 'im ,but as I don't see my Mother he's all I've got (apart from MrG and his family)

Anyone thought of duties for Thread Pet, he's home now an eagarly awaiting instructions.

GLB. Gee thanks.
Said article is 6"4 (I'm 5"3 in my shoozies)
I work in the fab world of retail for a really girly company.
He's the only straight guy in the company I think
He's supposed to be security/stock but does neither properly.
Prize Twunt!
I'm sorry that it is going to go futher but I can't cope with his attitude anymore.

He's 46 but acts like a 4 year old.

So yeah GLB if you're 6"6 and bring your desk to twat him with you can 'ave a go.
xx
