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

[claireybell]

Bdb thats a def positive test line there!! Congrats ahhhhh thrilled for you feel free to post more tests haha we love it!!!

 

[gigglebox]

I can't see the last test pic bdb *pouty face*

Shae you have a test this morning?! Hope you aren't hung over. Next time turn off autocorrect, i want the true drunken Shae experience

Dobs what kind of food was it? Are they helping you out as all since you're also sick?

Ov pain gone this morning, thank goodness! Officially, OFFICIALLY 1dpo! Planning on testing already trying to hold out for 8dpo. I'm already doubting it will happen immediately since it took 5 cycles for the m/c and last baby...but I was also having anxiety issues during that time with family drama so who knows?

If I don't fall this month then will really have to consider if I want to prevent next month in case of a xmas baby...same boat a few of us are in!

Pl when do you want to start ttc? I think you said but I forgot...sorry to make you repeat yourself

 

[gigglebox]

OH also Lev has slept through the night 3 nights in a row! Knock on wood...i mean he was up fussing night before last but fell back asleep on his own. This is VERY exciting!

 

[bdb84]

Thanks for the help! I think I figured it out on my phone. I had to go to the advanced reply feature to find the little paper clip.

So here’s my 4AM test. I couldn’t stay asleep. I kept dreaming of false positives all night long. It’s still really faint, but I’m optimistic as my period is a projected four days away. I’m currently holding my SMU in the hopes that my wondfos show up here soon.

 

[JLM73]

bdb CONGRATS!!! That is soooo !!!
I just did a wally, and we are the same # dpo, and yea, mine is BLANK lol, yours is def not what we squinter fans call faint either.
Cmon wondfo delivery!!!

Shae ahhhh....the college life....sadly ( or luckily) I hated the taste of anything with alcohol until NURSES at work when I was 30 intro'd me to tasty drinks...
boy has that caused me trouble here n there lol
Sooo hope your presentation goes well, and YES we want autocorrect OFF lol
Drunken Disney Princess is toooo funny

 

[bdb84]

Thank you, JLM! Idk why I'm not allowing myself to get excited yet. Maybe it doesn't help that DH is silly and doesn't think it's a BFP unless both lines are equally as dark.

As for drinking, I'm a big fan of beer. In fact I'm kind of sad that I didn't know my last beer (last weekend) was going to be my last for quite some time [hopefully!]. I wish I could go back and enjoy it more slowly.

Gig- yay for Lev sleeping through the night! Hopefully he does it for you again tonight.

My 11/12dpo
bdb I'll play the "control" test to show how nice your line is hehe

 

[bdb84]

Thank you for the comparison pic! You don't get any evaps on these tests after a few hours have gone by?

 

[TexasRider]

Pretty sure it’s not an Evap Bdb. I mean yes those tests can give evap results after while but if it came up during the time frame it’s legit. Congrats on getting preggo your first cycle of ttc. Lucky you. I’ve been trying since legit 2016 and no dice. At this point we are probably just going to be a one child family. But yay for you! That’s so awesome.

I was worried about upsetting someone because of this But I do thank you all for being so supportive and welcoming even though I just came back to this forum a few days ago.

 

[shaescott]

Bdb totally a

Sorry to disappoint, but I hate typos so even while drunk I was going back and fixing whatever autocorrect didn’t (I missed like one last night). But maybe if I’m a bit drunker next time?

Flueks I missed that you lost a patient, so sorry

Tex I know it must be hard seeing people get their bfp on here especially when it’s so fast, when you’ve been trying for so long. I think you’ve previously mentioned God so hopefully this isn’t out of line, but God’s timing is perfect and although sometimes it’s not what we want, he knows what’s best for us. Doesn’t make it not suck, though, I’d be super jealous rn if I were you, so I feel for you. Much love.

 

[shaescott]

Bdb she’s still happy for you, don’t worry. It’s not your fault, don’t feel guilty about it. Of course the long term TTCers are going to be jealous, it’s only natural, but they still support you and are happy for you.

 

[gigglebox]

I ALWAYS get wvaps on wally cheapies! But if it's even shown within 10 minutes it's been legit. Bdb that is a BEAUTIFUL line! Congratulations again! I'm sure you and hubby will come to accept it as it continues to darken in the coming days

Ugh i'm with you J on the taste of alcohol. I like wheat beer, moscato wine, piña coladas, and daiquiris. Every now and again I'll enjoy rum and DIET coke, but the rum MUST be captain morgan's spiced rum. Oh and also occasionally the same in my egg nog...but i like the egg nog alone!

All that said, drinking gives me heart palpitations which in turn spikes my anxiety so i rarely drink, and certainly don't drink to get drunk anymore. A nice little buzz is nice though

Not that anyone asked

 

[TexasRider]

I didn’t mean for it to come across bitter. Seriously. I apologize for my rude tone. It wasn’t my intention to come off rude. I am always happy for people when they get a bfp. It just bums me out that the one thing my daughter wants is a sibling and I can’t give it to her.

 

[gigglebox]

Tex with hubby's new pay raise will that allow you to see a fertility specialist to see what might be going on?

 

[TexasRider]

Eh possibly. Honestly we could get tested and all that mess but if they recommend anything besides clomid and timed intercourse we wouldn’t be able to afford treatment anyway cause my insurance doesn’t pay squat for Infertility treatments. So I’m not really sure what we want to do. I just wish my OB would prescribe me some clomid and let us do it on our own haha. Even though it didn’t work the one time we tried it with my crappy Ob being in charge.

What stipulations does your OB put on using clomid?

 

[JLM73]

Tex I feel your sibling desire pain lol
As you know this is cycle 46 straight for me TTC lol
I only had the months of Jan and Feb off finally, and that was only cuz I was in F it mode and didn't get man goo.
You didn't sound rude hun, just sharing what you feel, which we all do here

bdb No worries offending anyone here- we are a very supportive bunch and always happy when a BFP comes along given all the heartbreaks the ladies here have been thru!
So do you plan to wait to share news with your other 1/2?
Any special reveals planned?

Oh and I will post pics in a min of my wally cheapie from this morn at 10 mins, and after it dried so you can judge for yourself on evaps.
I have been buying them for 44 cycles+ and haveq maybe had 2 questionable faint lines while still wet that fooled me as bfp...but then again maybe I just had chems those times

 

[TexasRider]

He’s old school. Basically wants us to get a SA for hubs but he only uses a clinic that is 2 hours away. They are only open mon-fri so hubs would have to take a day off to drive there and come back. Then he would want to do the HSG test. Again due to high deductible it would be expensive to do. Although my deductible is almost met after my daughter had her 4th set of ear tubes put in during the month of February. Then if those came back good he would wait 3 mo this and only then would he start clomid therapy. The sucky part is there is a dr here in town that does SA but he doesn’t like to use them cause he says they don’t watch the sample right. Ugh

 

[JLM73]

Below are my test from this morning at 10 min mark and now after its dried
