clomid club

[Wobbles]

You know what I spoke to the lady privately with no fuss but a it was created so I made sure exactly what I said was available. I definitely did not/do not want a debate over it. We all know what is comfortable for some forum friends formed may not be felt by others/everyone and as the forum is open for everyone to join in and not a select number are welcome to join in on this thread surely that those people need to be considered. Now and then comments are never an issue but sometimes it's polite to move the discussion and updates onto journals.

I reviewed post contents/activity before contact and privately suggested consideration instead this lady stamped her feet and called the concerns a complaint again making people uncomfortable (how dare they). Nice!

I don't know what else to say then- I'll think I'll leave it here before I get myself into trouble too x

 

[Wobbles]

She wasn't in 'trouble' but I certainly didn't take well to the sarcasm in my inbox followed by bad feeling attempted to be left on the forum unnecessarily.

I don't see why anyone finds it hard to swallow consideration of all members in an open thread for all. Our level of 'ok' is different and those levels change daily (ups and downs) or on circumstances (usually bad news). But really it wasn't meant to be made such a big deal of!

Anyway onwards ...tomorrow I will remove all this negative from the thread.

Wow. I am truly sitting in shock and saddened with what I have just read. As many ladies on here know, I joined this thread while on my 3rd round of Clomid which was successful. I have been hesitant to post here as I didn't want to be percieved as "flaunting" my pregnancy. I love many of the ladies on this thread and can genuinely emphatize with their pain and disappointment over TTC. I have NEVER seen Ollie be mean, unkind or unsupportive to any member on here. She has always asked about other members and offered tons of support. I can not speak for her but I made a personal decision (at the approval of many thread members) to stay a part of this thread as a postive sign that Clomid can work. I would like to think that it is inspiring to the ladies having such a hard road to TTC. Believe me when I say that I feel a certain amount of guilt when we post because I want all of the ladies to get their BFPs. I have continued to post also as a result of other member's request as many of them enjoy keeping up with the pregnancy progress. Once again, I am truly saddened that this thread has taken this turn.
Clomid girls....you know I love ya'll!

 

[babyloulou]

Me too Nursekel xx

 

[todteach]

? I'm very confused. Am I allowed to post here during my two week wait while taking clomid? Or am I to use the other board in the two week wait section?

 

[lisaf]

Look guys, we can't keep talking about this. We have to move past it.
As long as you are still TTC you can post here. If you are pregnant you can post here, you just can't talk about the details of your pregnancy here it seems. We started an alternate thread over in the lounge area where you can stay updated and post about anything without upsetting those who are sensitive.

If we keep talking about this drama the thread will get locked. I don't want all of us to lose this support.

 

[NurseKel]

I was stating my personal opinion in what I felt was a mature, nondramatic way. FYI- I have already moved over to the new thread.

 

[Wobbles]

Nursekel I did NOT say she couldn't post within this thread making your whole rant pointless. Over reactions again only concerned about yourselves and not others. Selfish. Todteach where have I suggested you wouldn't be able to? I haven't said that at all.

Slap in the chops when you try to cover the comfort of EVERYONE. Use to it I guess.

 

[babyloulou]

I am really shocked now! Is this a joke??? Why is admin so upset over pointless arguements? 1 person has complained! The rest of us are shocked! What does that tell you???

 

[DragonMummy]

Well I have just had a read back over the last few pages and I have to say WHAT a mountain you are all making out of a molehill! Come on guys, all admin asked is that a pregnant member doesn't post updates on her pregnancy in here! I don't think that's unreasonable at all, this is a forum for those who are ltttc. I know some of you are really good friends but she never said people couldn't come in here whilst pregnant, she just asked that people use a bit of consideration for those who might be sensitive.

I hate it when this happens on here - one small thing blows up into a full on witch hunt. I was really enjoying the CC thread but now everyone is chucking an unnecessary huff and fecking off elsewhere. So you know, it was ME who messaged Wobbs. MEEEE. And I wasn't being bitchy and I wasn't trying to cause trouble, and it wasn't specifically Ellen that I messaged about. I have been trying to put a brave face on TTC and having a MC last month (i know, i know, violins, whatever) but every time I went into the LTTTC boards there was someone else COMPLAINING about their sore boobs and MS. And yes Ellen was one of them, over and over again on the bloody day I announced my MC on the CC thread. So yes I reported it. This is a big forum, there is a success stories thread, bfp announcement thread, hpt gallery, first trimester, PM!! It's not like there is nowhere to talk about it. And I appreciate there is an element of caution involved in first tri, particularly for us LTTTC'ers, but when I got my bfp, I quietly announced it in CC then buggered off to my journal for updates.

So there we go. You can stop having a go at Wobbles. Throw it all back at me.

So I am not shit stirring, I wasn't being nasty I was just sick of having everyone else's pregnancy symptoms shoved down my throat when I am not pregnant any more.

 

[lisaf]

Can we please move on? Can we get back to what this thread was about and let all this go, please?

 

[DragonMummy]

Well I'd like to, like I say I wasn't trying to be a bitch, it's all about self preservation isn't it?? But I imagine I am not flavour of the month now so we'll see.

 

[babyloulou]

Yes dragonmummy we realised it was you- and without wanting to throw more shit into the fire I have to be honest and say I have found it alot more uncomfortable to listen to you talking about how you haven't slept when your son is playing up- and how yhat makes ttcing Hard for u and oh. It's loads more insulting to those of us who haven't even managed to have one than ellen talking about feeling sick is!!

 

[DragonMummy]

Sigh... which is why I try not to mention him too much. I am aware that I am lucky in even having one child and try not to complain or moan. And I have never once blamed my son for TTC being difficult. But the secondary infertility thread is rarely visited so I have no option but to come in here. And also I have had the shoe on the other foot, it took us nearly three years to conceive him. But I am not getting into an argument. Evidently the witch hunt has turned on me which is fine. At least you'll leave others alone! But my intentions were not unkind, as yours now clearly are.

 

[lisaf]

Gals, please do not get this thread shut down.
Some of us really really need this and these personal battles are just going to end badly for everybody!

 

[babyloulou]

Oh for gods sake! If you can sleep tonight that's all that matters. Let's agree to disagree- because I really, really don't want to tell you what I think right now!!

 

[Tiff]

Ladies, the bickering and fighting needs to stop. If you have personal issues, please take it off the forum. This thread is not the place for it.

 

[lisaf]

Thanks Tiff -

Back to the clomid TTC stuff....
my spotting has tapered off... then again my usual pre-AF spotting comes and goes.
Its just all so weird because this usually starts 10-11dpo and its now 13dpo (AF due date for me). I didn't get the O date wrong, pretty sure about that, so its all just weird.
Had DH pick up some tests at the drug store since I'm down to 1... I told him to get the FRER and he bought 2 3-packs! Silly man, lol.. and I thought I was the POAS addict! Now I'm going to be tempted to pee on these expensive tests more than once a day since I don't think this can hold out for 6 days, lol.

 

[DragonMummy]

Can you get him to hide them and ration them out?
