"cafecito" - You're winding us up!!!

cafecito · 06/03/2013 01:05

nope - am I mad? Hmm [ponders] [wonders if it stems from genuine altruism or shocking ego that wants to add one more genius to the world, or shocking lack of ego that needs to justify own purpose in life by giving life to others] hmm

cafecito · 06/03/2013 01:06

Grin I had had a drink though. But yeah I nearly donated my eggs not that long ago - as an altruistic donor- but the procedure is mighty invasive with a GA and so on. I only started thinking about it after a relative had IVF with a donor egg, and I was going to donate to them, but a donor came along at the right time. I then started to think, well, maybe I should do it anyway.

cafecito · 06/03/2013 01:07

I am mad aren't I Confused but it would be an interesting experience

StairsInTheNight · 06/03/2013 01:58

i dont think your mad. What a good thing to do for someone, cafe.

StairsInTheNight · 06/03/2013 01:59

just woken by stupid brain thinking dark thoughts. Hate that. Thank god for MN to distract!

StairsInTheNight · 06/03/2013 02:03

tell more about your talk tomorrow, cafe. My mum had many miscarriages. In the 70s i think very little was known. Its am interesting subject. And how great that you are using Jyniers info!

Splishysploshy · 06/03/2013 02:16

Can I join you all please?
Laying here tossing and turning semi happy but now the security sensor light has gone on outside and I am being irrational, it can go on from a cat or something, can it not?

ripsishere · 06/03/2013 02:24

Probably mad, but it would be life changing. Not keen on that band, I think she was singing in foreign.
Must go and rinse the immac off my tache or my lips will melt. DD asked me last night if she could take the tube in for her friend 'I'. I has a very hairy forehead.

cafecito · 06/03/2013 02:41

Hahahahaa to hairy forehead Grin and lip meltage. hilarious. I hate the smell of immac!

yes I am cafe, and I am mad Smile well, what didn't we know. I would like to do it- I am trying to work out how I could do it, I wouldn't do it for anyone else but these peole are so lovely - is it weird I wouldn't want to be involved in the child's life at all though? Hmm all these things I had never really thought about.

splishy welcome. yes those lights are very sensitive, I'm pretty sure a fly could set one off.. like in that bugs movie.. oh wait, they set flies off..

stairs thank you - I would post about my talk but it would require an element more sobriety than I have in me right now. Suffice to say, there are many thrombophilic disorders, in particular, that are terribly terribly common among the general population- cause no ill effects generally (maybe increased risk of thrombosis, but only slight, no more than anything else) and when they really have an effect is in pregnancy as tiny clots can form and cause a MC to an otherwise healthy pregnancy. I think it's utterly scandalous that women suffer time and time again yet testing is so scarce, and one it's identified things can be done to address the problem. So awful people have to go through such difficult events repeatedly. Of course there are many other causes of MC, but this is quite a common one.

cafecito · 06/03/2013 02:42

when I was 12, I tried dying my actual real hair with Jolene creme bleach..

ripsishere · 06/03/2013 03:43

Haven't we all? glad to say my lip hasn't melted, it is an attractive scarlet color though.
My sainted sister offered to be a surrogate for me and DH when I was having trouble TTC. We did consider it, but left the country (jizz in a jiffy bag?).
I got pregnant almost immediately after leaving England though, so her uterus wasn't needed.
She just pops them out. She has eight children. Each pregnancy was a twin one and she lost a twin in each except the last when she delivered the full pair.

McPrice · 06/03/2013 03:58

may i join? am up with 5 week old who has wind and id very grizzly. starting to go doolally though lack of sleep Shock
husband snoring next to me ses to be able to sleep through anything!

McPrice · 06/03/2013 04:00

see cant even spell , have only one hand free to write the others breastfeeding...

ripsishere · 06/03/2013 04:36

Impressive work McPrice. My DH moved out of our bedroom when DD was a small baby.
Come to think of it, he didn't move back in till she moved to her own room.

Dlass · 06/03/2013 04:39

up with a vomiting boy. I've had the dreaded sickness bug, finished sunday & was quite optomistic I'd got away with everybody else avoiding it. 1am the dreaded cry..... muuuuummmmm! so downstairs we went bucket in hand, every 15 mins since then poor boy. for a 5 year old he is a superstar, hit the bucket every time & very calm. popping out for supplies when DH wakes at 5am before he leaves us alone for the day.
Hoping and praying Dh doesn't pick it up or there will be hell. Just bleached all surfaces, handles toilets etc around the house again !!!

ripsishere · 06/03/2013 05:41

Sad you poor thing. It is one of the worst noises in the middle of the night - that 'Muuuuuum' cry.
It is great when children can reliably hit a receptacle though. The day DD found she could puke into blue for spew was a red letter day.

starsandunicorns · 06/03/2013 07:10

Hobbles onto thread ouchy toes stuipd safety boots knee on fire due to pain waves to new people and regulars Such a long shift off to bed in a bit hoping for sleep cornflakes and a brew and codine first. Hobbles out ochy ochy ochy

kittyandthegoldenfontanelles · 06/03/2013 07:34

morning everyone Smile

well we slept till 5.20 this morning! 9 hours in a row! trying to get her back off now or she won't make her baby group this morning and that would be a shame.

cafe I think it is commendable what you are considering. I know I couldn't do it and really think I would see it as my baby once I had carried it for 9 months Sad But plenty of people do do it successfully. What an incredible thing to be able to do for your friends; friends who would become family Smile

kittyandthegoldenfontanelles · 06/03/2013 07:36

Evening stars Smile . How was your shift? Enjoy a well earned snuggly sleep now Grin

kittyandthegoldenfontanelles · 06/03/2013 07:38

Cross post stars Smile Poor thing. Would a bath before bed help? I always remember the sleep I had after a nightshift was always the sweetest Wink

Minimammoth · 06/03/2013 08:18

Morning, cross fingers for halt to spread of vom virus diass.
I am slightly lumpy this morning and eyeing suspect goat cheese with orange rind which I snacked on last night. I have A forehead like a Clingon. Though not hairyGrin Sympathy stars, enjoy the codeine.

kittyandthegoldenfontanelles · 06/03/2013 08:41

How is he dlass? Sad

poor bumpybonce minimammoth. Does it hurt? Does it make you feel unwell?

Sweet babu went off again and is still sleeping. I've made a Chennai and done a wash. Happy Smile

Minimammoth · 06/03/2013 08:48

What is a Chennai? Glad your happy, no forehead does not hurt, bit itchy, but will go down, only mild, but amusing.

kittyandthegoldenfontanelles · 06/03/2013 08:55

Thanks mini. Beef Chennai, formally known as Madras, for tonights tea.
