I feel like I've misrepresented my Dad a bit - he might be a bit insensitive and all that, but he adores me and he doesn't nag on about being a Granddad; I am really lucky that I don't have parents who interfere or tell me what I should and shouldn't do, tell me they 'expect' GC (although I know they crave them, as they both love kids), or pass comment or judgement on me and my life, except to be supportive and positive. Part of his comments come, I think, from knowing how much I want kids and how good I am with kids but, not wanting to come out and ask me if we're trying or when we'll be trying, he keeps coming out with helpful 'hints'. I think the poor man realises there's something odd going on with me but he doesn't want to be pushy or interfering, etc. So he is accidentally being those things by trying to be nice! Does that make sense?

Anyway, am much more cheery now after spending a lovely day en famille. And not one comment from Dad, heheh. I gave my childless Aunt a 'Happy Aunt's Day' card, cos I now realise how sad Mother's Day must be for her every year and I thought she was going to break down (obvy I didn't write 'am giving you this cos you've never got a Mother's Day one' - I told everyone I was renaming it 'Female Relatives' Weekend', and gave Gran a card too).

And much more cheerier thanks to TYF, my Mum and youse lot being lovely. Medee, it is a comfort that I've increased my Luteal Phase. Hopefully, this means all my supplements and lifestyle tweaks are working, which also makes me positive about acupuncture helping too. I know I'll get there - am just too menkul to cope with it taking aaaaaaaaaaaaages

I've been away from MN a bit .... shit shit shit Scorps. Was fully rooting for you. ?Dunno what to say really.

Meanwhile I have the FFJ and the horn. Shame the OM hasn't slept in two days

Ariesgirl · 14/03/2010 10:21

Humble apologies. Will not post pissed again. Knew I'd feel like a tosser.

Muser · 14/03/2010 11:08

Your dad sounds like his heart is in the right place Scorps.

MrM is tormenting me by sending me pics of him drinking cocktails on his holiday.

muse can you not torment him back by sending him some pics of you shagging a random?

Muser · 14/03/2010 13:15

I like the way you think Cunty

Is anyone else finding today really hard? I got hit by a million "what a lovely mother's day I'm having" on Facebook and am now hiding from the world.

I'm livid: the dogs didn't get me anything, not even breakfast in bed. Pointed out to boyfriend that if I was going to become a tragic barren doglady whose parents dutifully ask 'how are my other grandchildren?' each time they call, the least he could do would be to follow the traditional fatherly route and buy me a box of Maltesers 'from them' once a year. He duly noted, and went back to watching the Grand Prix. So, pretty standard Mother's Day chez fig, I'd say.

But muse, I felt such a non-person in M&S on Saturday that I had to walk out, cardless and in tears. I called my mum instead and she said not to worry, she'd rather have a no-reason box of Thorntons on a random day instead. Must have been a million times harder for you today (and gin, thinking of you too).

Ocarina · 14/03/2010 14:09

I've been too busy thus far to think about finding today hard, but I'm finding more and more reasons why people do struggle with it. The whole commercial side of it seems to have got a bit over the top, and why do nearly all mother's day cards have to be pink? Scorps' female relatives day sounds like a great excuse to celebrate more widely. Hugs to those of you who are finding it hard, or nipple twists if hugs are way too unBESH-like.

Realised this morning that being around a whole bunch of kids, I was far more tempted to steal the gorgeous 20ish month old than the 4 week old baby. I've always wanted kids but never babies (if that makes sense) and have no clue what I'll do with one if I get one. Is there a manual?

Scorpette · 14/03/2010 14:36

I think we need a proper group hug today - we can don pervy latex costumes and knuckledusters if it helps relieve the ick factor for some (personally, I am a soppy tactile fool in RL, so am well up for some schmaltz!). Or flood the pit with bubble bath/baby oil/melted booja booja chocolate and have a BESH orgy No pink or flowers allowed!

Even though I have been Ms Hysteria Wallow McSelf-Pityson (esq) this weekend, am determined to be positive and keep telling myself I'll be up for a Mother's Day card next month (have told TYF that even if I only have a bump, a card must be forthcoming. We have high educational aspirations for our future offspring ). So chins up, BESHes!

Also reiterate special Big Love to those who've gone through particularly hideous shit in the last few months My bounteous buzwams are still tender, but here for you all to snuggle in. Now form an orderly queue...

Muser · 14/03/2010 17:17

Group hug, group hug!

There, is that the right mix of schmaltz and violence?

scorchy am gutted for you my luvver,tho tis true that a better LF is a Good Thing. I was really hoping tho darlin and I reckon if your body is starting to co operate then it won't be long xx

Haven't read much else,sorry...will try n catch up tomorrow. Thanks fig for the wishes today. Obv I am officially in the 'lucky' bit today as I got to be a mum on mothers day n all. Have had a bit of a cry about the baby that should've been here tho....am aware this is not correct BESH procedure,but it's not easy right now,just cos of the timing I guess. I remember just after the mmc Reading about someone being upset cos the due date of their mc pg was looming- I was so sure I'd be pg again before my due date (fool.)

anyway.I have had a nice mother's day and I do t want to sound greedy...but that mmc was a big loss. The last mc was not so bad in some ways as at least I was not so emotionally invested in it,by 12 weeks I think you kind of are..... I just hope i can get thru mr gin's birthday ok as that is the date we had the 12 weekscan of doom...

ginhag · 14/03/2010 23:08

Ps am joining the group hug without even trying to hurt anyone...(am bringing absinthe tho obviously)

ginhag · 14/03/2010 23:12

Pps I would like to apologise for the apppalling english in my posts this evening,I am a tad emotional. And also my phone insists on always putting a capital letter on 'Reading' which is thoroughly annoying.

ginhag · 14/03/2010 23:19

Ppppppppps (or whatever)

for those who haven't been here for a million years I am not upset because this would've been my due date of a failed pg. My Possiblebaby would've been about 4 months by now. It's just that I now keep looking back and going 'this time last year I was pregnant' and stuff.

And if anyone thinks I'm a twat for being so 'mememe' on a day that is prob harder for some of you then I can totally see why,and I'm sorry.

Muser · 15/03/2010 00:03

C'mere ginhag, nobody is going to get into competition of who's got the most reason to be upset today. We are all in the same crappy boat, just got different seats is all. And we're all going to get through it and those babies will arrive.

I too have had a little weep today for the baby that ought to be here. I realise I got all my dates mixed up with the two. If this recent one had found its way to the right place I'd be around 12 weeks, just getting ready to tell folk. With the first one I'd be somewhere around 16/18 I guess. I can barely remember the dates for that, so convinced was I that it was a one off and my fast diffment meant I'd have a keeper before long. Hah. So little I knew.

Anyway. Now I'm doing all the me me me stuff. And, like you, I still have the urge to apologise as others must have it worse. Crazed.

I really, really wish MrM had not gone on holiday. I didn't want him to go, but also wanted him to have a break and enjoy himself. Can someone fast forward to next Sunday please?

Silly Gin - no-one is thinking that. You need a good bitchslapping to knock the daft ideas out of your head (you are in the Big Love group who deserve extra hugging as I mentioned above). You have been through some right shit and there is no right and wrong way to feel or grieve and there's certainly no hierarchy of suffering or of who is 'allowed' to complain the most. Now shurrup and get nestling

wildfig · 15/03/2010 08:19

dromCom if you're lurking around out there - am going offline for a bit, but I will cruise past your table tomorrow dispensing comedy winks and secret BESH hand signals (eg, rocking an invisible baby, then miming tequila shots, then pulling up my judgey pants. You'll know it's me).

laurielou · 15/03/2010 08:27

Morning all.

scorps bastard, bastard metal beeping cunting bastard. I really had a good feeling for you this month. S'pose should try to think of the longer LP as a good thing (which obviously it is), but its a bit of a crap substiute for a baybee. Nice touch on the "female relative" day.

poo what's the latest with your sister?

rollo sorry about your negative too. What a bunch of arse.

gin I'm so glad you had a nice Mother's Day, no-one begrudges you that, nor your little weep for what also should've been.

I think we all underestimated how tough Mother's Day was going to be, whatever our circumstances. Some of us have baybees, some have lost baybees, some have never managed to conceive. But we all want one now, so that unites us. Sorry, have punched myself in the face for this soppiness.

I finally had a surge on my OV POAS this morning, so its shag-ahoy with the boyf again tonight. Though he was on duty anyway as I've put him on an every-other-day diet. Haven't broken it to him that thanks to the ov surge he has to up his game for the next 48 hours. Am hoping the irony of having Clomid in my drawer in readiness for next cycle means I won't need it.

Anyhoo, I'm on hols next week - HUZZAH! A lovely cottage in Cornwall all booked & a week of lazing, reading DVD watching, pub lunches & massages awaits. Oh, & clenching to avoid the droid joining us.

Scorpette · 15/03/2010 09:44

PMSL at the secret BESH hand signals, GeneWILDer

Good luck with the SWI LouLou and thanks for the simpaffy

Gropes and roundhouse kicks to you all - off for mental day at work. With cramps

Medee · 15/03/2010 09:44

morning all.

RunLyraRun · 15/03/2010 09:46

Just checking in to see the news on Scorps. So sorry this wasn't the month for you mate. I really really really thought it was, not that that's any help.

Well, we've gone from expecting dad to be home today to expecting him to be in for another 2 weeks. In order for him to get the treatment he needs he is in hosp 250 miles away from home. Mum can't stay down there the whole time so she came home when he appeared to be on the mend. Then on Friday he had some sort of emergency scan and procedure - I don't really know what - and it became apparent he wasn't going anywhere.

NO-ONE has contacted us to let us know what is happening, the only info we have had has been from dad himself, and that is kind of garbled because he is befuddled by opiates and antibiotics. I've tried speaking to the nurses on the ward who don't seem to know either. Dad asked his surgeon to call me, who said, "oh I'll tell you and you can tell her" - cue another confused account from dad.

I was so upset and frustrated on Saturday morning that in the end Him Outdoors insisted we drive down there - which obviously we hadn't planned to do as we had thought dad was about to be discharged. So our weekend became an unexpected and expensive road trip. We came back last night, thoroughly exhausted.

Astonishingly, despite having been to the hospital Sat and Sun, I'm still no wiser as to what is going on. Because it was a weekend there were no medical staff around, and certainly none of the surgical team. In addition, visiting is restricted to 1 hour in the afternoon and 1 hour in the evening, which is intended NOT to coincide with ward rounds. Restricted visiting also mean that despite having driven 4 hours to see dad, we got kicked out for turning up outside those hours.

I'm calling the surgeon's secretary now to ask her to call me today, but I'm in a diffcult position because I don't want to have a go at her because she is amazing with dad. And of course I'm in a massive meeting all afternoon that I won't be able to get out of if she calls then. Welling up at my desk typing all of this.

RunLyraRun · 15/03/2010 09:51

Secretary says surgeon is in theatre all day so may not be able to call me.

And err sorry for the me me me

PollyPoo · 15/03/2010 09:53

Hey Lorry, sis is back home, yay! Her blood pressure came down enough, and her last blood results were normal again. I think she is supposed to be on bed rest and having visits from her midwife to monitor BP. She is getting herself really wound up about the birth which isn't helping.

Lozza I am v jealous of your trip to cornwall - whereabouts are you going?

Gin sorry I missed you yesterday. I have not been through what you have (and hope to god I never do) but you are allowed to be sad, you suffered a loss and there is no right or wrong way to feel. Big squeezes and tequila to you.

Muse where has MrM gone? You a v lovely to let him go - I hope he appreciates you fully and brings you back lots of lovely presents.

Medee · 15/03/2010 10:09

not at all mememe, Lyra. You should be able to speak to the medical staff, and I really hope you do get to speak to the surgeon soon.
