General chatter while we wait (and commentary on the "pull out method")

[DobbyForever]

Lol my blood is def not AF spotting. Temp didn't dip, no cramps, and it was smaller than a drop. Really looked like someone dipped a pin in blood then pricked my toilet paper. Real AF spotting will probably come tomorrow r_r

Campn, you do NOT talk too much lol. Love the BBT. Got to sit on the couch with the cast and have pizza. Good times. Have not seen/ heard of Fargo?

PL, I know the feeling. SO was supposed to move in with me, but complication and complication and he hasn't. We just spend a LOT of time together. That's why my BD is always on the same days of the week. So super shocking A reveal, I don't have a live in penis. He tries to sleepover a lot, but I pardoned him during the work week until he gets his promotion. I'm so accommodating wtf... r_r But it always sucks to wake up to an empty bed or have nothing/nobody to keep you company except the dogs and tv. I think the shorter lengths are harder though. The longer lengths you get into a pattern and get used to it. But def the phone is not the same.

Greenie, complain/ vent away! That's what we are here for. Hugs hugs hoping you get some answers soon as to where you are in your cycle.


Haha sister wives! I watched it until the moved to Vegas and some of the kids went to college. Then, I just stopped. It was interesting. Agreed I could never do it, but it was fun to watch.

Played around with my FF settings now that I have more temps. Advanced puts O on CD 31 while OPK puts it at CD 30, and cramping puts it in between the two days. So If I am only 10 dpo that might explain why my temp is still high despite not being knocked up.

Dobs, sorry i didn't know you didn't have a live in penis. If this month isn't it, mine won't be home during fertile period until March. I can see myself going into a monday to friday routine without DH, the light is so close each week. I think this no man at home thing would be easier for me if I worked shorter hours.
Sister wives has gained a lot of drama since the move. Entertaining for sure!
How long are your cycles normally?

 

[DobbyForever]

Yeah, it gets confusing because we both refer to it and him coming home. He even said last time he was here that even though he went "home for the holidays" to his childhood home with his family, he didn't actually feel like he was home until he was back on the couch with me. I just never felt like correcting anybody because I wish he was a live in penis and I always imagined he'd have moved in by now because it was the plan so long ago. We're so non traditional. We just do things out of order hahaha

Wait, it would be easier if you worked less? The only times I can stand it are during the work week. I'm so exhausted when I get home that I miss him, but not enough to stress over it. It's the weekends when he doesn't come over that I can barely keep my s* together.

 

[mrs.green2015]

I'm a sucker for all reality shows. I used to HATE them but since my life is so lame and quiet its my drama. I pretty much watch all Bravo reality shows and it just makes me so happy lol. I've seen sister wives a few times including last night the "Tell All" episode. Man o man that's lots of drama!

PL- Although hubs and I live together it doesn't feel like it. He gets home from work at 3:30am, I get up at at 6 and leave at 7:30am while hes sleeping. Then he leaves while I'm still at work. So were together for 4 hours a day while one of us is sleeping. Plus he works 13 out of 14 days with only every other Sunday off...
my point is, you do settle into a routine and it becomes less lonely. My poor cat gets her eat talked off. lol

 

[DobbyForever]

Greenie, I have the same issue when SO is here. He goes to bed at like 2-3am and wakes up at 8-9am. I go to bed at 8-9pm and wake up at 5am. So I either don't get to see him (but he watches tv in bed next to me which is soothing) or I stay up and go to work exhausted. I have to keep the iPad near my bed on weekends so that I can play games while I wait for him to get up. If we get out of bed before 10am, it's a miracle.

Hmmm maybe I'll watch sister wives next. I'm running out of recordings.

 

[JLM73]

OK the is in, grab a coffee, n sit down! lol
Gigs and Dob WTF how have you two missed FARGO???
GO...NOW...WATCH lol Awesome movie- like a drama thriller but lots of Northern humor, and love the accents!

MrsG- Lady That may be a GOOD thing you have that creamy cm! And no worries on not getting thru it. They can actually still get you preggers with NO cm, trust me. Fertile cm is just the easiest for them to swim in(ew/watery)
Creamy is only considered "nonfertile" because hormones are not usually at the O level when you have it BUT trust me again - MANY a woman has creamy ALL the time and still get knocked up
If creamy was all you needed for BC every teen in the world would jam fingers up their vajay each morning then F like a
Campn You totally do not talk as much as my epic length posts...try harder
Also don't doubt your self until after 3-4 days post dip!
You either Dobble!
And I thought you and the Man lived together as well Dobs!
Apologies!

 

[JLM73]

Newest hat...diggin the variegated CHUNKY yarn! Called Thick and Quick ... That sounded like a porno title!
LOL but it does make scarves and hats fast!

 

[DobbyForever]

I'm just a pretty little liar with all my secrets

Totally watching Sister Wives now. Of course, I skipped to the episode where they found out the baby's sex. I feel like watching other people's 3D scans is like watching an alien movie. I wonder if it's something I'll want when I'm preggo. Did any of y'all do 3D? I can't remember.

If Fargo is On Demand I'll watch it.

J. You are hilarious. I got REALLY excited because I had two days of cramping with that temp dip and with my last bfp chart I had the same thing, but idk. I'm still seeing a faint line on this morning's test and the one I took this afternoon, pretty sure even in the invert but it's hard to tell. On the one hand, I feel like I can't have THAT many evaps but on the other I'm wondering maybe FRER is just so sensitive and I'm still harboring the tiniest bit of hcg. Just enough to cause whatever I'm seeing.

 

[DobbyForever]

Ok. So I know they do the show, but how do they afford all this stuff? Like they build themselves a bitching complex. They go on vacations all the time. Food is expensive lol. Like hooooow does this work? What I am doing wrong with my life? lol

 

[DobbyForever]

This took days but I thought it was a cute new way to do a gender reveal as opposed to the balloons or scratchers or pinatas or cakes/ cupcakes....

[mrs.green2015]

J- omg i just LOL'd you told campn "try harder" hahaha idk why but that just got me laughing like a crazy lady alone at home

Dobs- I think the same thing when I watch shows! Especially like Vanderpump Rules on Bravo, these people live in LA and are waitress, waiters how do they live in apartments, have gigantic engagement rings, 30k weddings, and go to Vegas every weekend. I'm just over here trying to scavenge up enough money for a down payment for a house and pay rent.


Also, guys! I think these meds are making me loose it. I was watching a show on DVR and on my laptop on the couch right? Well my show ends and the little pop up says "Delete Now or Don't Delete" And then I hear like a car and weird noise and I'm thinking "omg whats going on outside? Should i look? it doesnt sound safe..." It was my freaking TV going back to live TV! omg im going insane!

 

[mrs.green2015]

That video is super cute! If only we were going to find out the gender

 

[JLM73]

Dobs I did a 4-d with video with both my surro twins and DS they are awesome. I literally have a side by side of DS in utero about 8-9 mos and when born he is EXACTLY the same face lol Plus with the twins we saw one blinking in the video, and the other sticking her tongue out a few times so cute
They only look aliens in early preg 3/4D especially if the tech zooms too far and you get more a Skull pic than the facial features

 

[JLM73]

Dobs those large family shows do get "compensation" for the constant on camera living. Even the super family Duggars admitted that. Alot of times the show pays for vacays to get a chance to film a change of venue in the show. They did with the Duggar clan.
Now as for the Duggars- 20 kids and counting fam- they started out in like a 3 bed 2 ba home and had like 8-10 of them by then??
Jim Bob ( ) has always invested in real estate, and they also give seminars on how to live debt free. Basically if you can't pay cash the day you buy it- you don't get it till you can.
Also the mom made most their clothes and they did major hand me downs.
And they have tons of recipes to make HUGE meals for super cheap( lots of tot casseroles etc).
And they home school.
Now they did build a like 17 room, 6 bath ( I'm exagerating a bit but it's HUGE) house.
Dad and the boys built it from ground up, it's awesome tho, and on a huge chunk of land.

 

[campn]

I think they get lots of money per episode! Kody (the spelling pisses me off but whatevs) used to own an advertising company while his second wife janelle worked all the time and now owns a super boring business. I guess no matter who you are or what you do if you're on tv you're gonna get rich fast.

I wonder if they want my reality show!? I do nothing but wear leggings at home and chase at 3 year old who likes throwing food at our smart tv. I think all lives are mostly boring really, but we see 30 minutes of their lives a week.

It's weird but I love reality shows, I like seeing their kitchens, what they're eating, what they're wearing, I think when I first watched the kardashians I got so sad cause I wasn't so hot and skinny

 

[JLM73]

MrsG Hehe yea Campn will get there
You have some serious surround sound going where Real Life meets TV and Computer lol

Campn I LOVE your quote in siggy!

 

[JLM73]

Campn I hear ya on feeling like a voyeur hehe I like to see inside their homes- tho I am convinced they have just crammed all the toy from the floor, shoes, and bras from the floor in a back room the camera guy isn't allowed in
And pffft I liked the Kard shows, but the channel they were on requires paying now on my cable and I refuse to pay for it.
However you are JUST as beautiful Campn! I always love your pics!

 

[gigglebox]

Gigz, I stream some tv shows online through the channel website, sometimes they're free to watch but have lots of ads.

I've never seen the movie Fargo either, I have heard it was so bad but the series is great.
Btw, I read your TTC journal, so sorry for your loss hun, I hope Des (Is it Desmond!?) will have a sibling so so soon!

Yup, it's Desmond i'm always flattered when people read my journal. I feel like it's very boring so....thank you i think there are only two people who keep up, and one of them is a friend in real life who likes to internet stalk everyone she knows so i stalk her back

Newest hat...diggin the variegated CHUNKY yarn! Called Thick and Quick ... That sounded like a porno title!
LOL but it does make scarves and hats fast!

I LOVE THAT! His is completely unrelated but i want to dye my hair a dark teal next. I'm afraid it'll go purple though, since it's currently red. I guess i was wondering to myself how would that hat look with my hair, lol. It's pretty! How many do you have to make? I know you mentioned you were doing a market or something, right?

Ok I saw parts of the movie but never the whole thing. The on,y part i remember is the wood chipper scene.

About those tests...it's so hard to say. My guess is, either you're pregnant OR those tests suck and always show a line. Remember in October when I thought I was getting squinters on those? I could see them on tweaks but i was not pregnant. I hate the new tests.

And while I'm on the subject....I completely forgot what i was going to say.

This took days but I thought it was a cute new way to do a gender reveal as opposed to the balloons or scratchers or pinatas or cakes/ cupcakes....

I am really curious about this but i can't see videos on my ipad what should i look up on youtube to see it?

 

[DobbyForever]

J that hat is b*ing

Gigs I just you tubed gender reveals from this week. I forget the title but the screenshot is a couple sitting in chairs with a poster "bows or bow ties " with 8 babies and 4 presents
