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

[Flueky88]

CB have fun tonight!!

Shae hope you don't have a hangover this morning

J hope your temp is nice and high and AF stays away.

AFM my temp was 98.13 and I'd even woke an hour early for no reason. Unless I'm getting sick again, I do believe I've Od. At worst I'd say O was Saturday since opks negative Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday this week. So I'm going to count myself 6dpo. Alright, gotta get ready now.

Shae lol ahhhh college life. Actually didn't you say somewhat recently you hadn't been drunk? Maybe I'm remembering that wrong...when did you start? Mmmmmmm moscato...

Fluek that pic is so adorable! Seriously, the cuteness of girls clothes is hard to beat.

My goal is to snap some Easter pics of the boys this weekend. We'll see how that goes...

 

[gigglebox]

Ahhh morning Fluek! Yay for ov'ing! When do you plan on testing??? Have a good day at work! ^_^

 

[DobbyForever]

Wine is divine. I’m a merlot or cab girl who likes the occasional champagne or Chardonnay, but definitely more into reds than whites

Bdb you’re good I call the minute the stick shows pink haha like that’ll get me in faster haha

Ok sorry the fact that it is 4:30am just set in so night night

 

[JLM73]

Meh, temp dropped .32 this morning, and I wasn't cold and def got enough sleep surprisingly.
Phone is dead, will post a pic as soon as I have enuff charge to turn it on.

bdb Need to see your beautiful line this morning!
I am guessing both wally and wondfo will be much clearer!!

Shae OMG lol You are funny!
I *started* my drinking at 30 with Sangria and red wines like Dobber said.
I found out later that Zinfandel makes me have itchy eyes and a stuffy nose the next day, and so does Rum, tho the ole RUm Runner was my standby for any 2 for 1 happy hour place I didn't have a fave drink at lol.
Only got into Margaritas cuz a place here had 24oz ones for $2.50 plus you could add an extra shot ( hung on the side of the glass) for only a $1! ...I blame them for starting my love of drinking mixed drinks lol

After the wine issue I stayed a Sangria gal, and there is a Wine called Sangue di Giuda from Italy that is the BOMB!! It is like a red wine but more Sangria style, and comes in a White too I found. It is THE at the ready gift anytime I need one for my Wino friends:hehe:

Side note...for those of you who have Rx glasses, how the hell do I get around feeling like I always have smudges/haziness on them??

The eyeglass place gave me the typical "cloth" to clean them with, that feels like soft suede, but it tends to gather dust particles, which end up on the lens via static.
The said to use soap and water, and the cloth to clean...uh no...

Then I went old school and used windex - i made sure only to get it on the lenses since it has ammonia, and I don't want it jackin u the gold frames.
That works well BUT within an hour, there appears to be an oily haze on the lenses I have NOT toched the lenses at all by accident etc, and not using anything oily - not vaping or cooking etc.

So the other day I got the "screen cleaner" for phones, TVs, computers etc from the $ store ( same ingreds as the one at wally, I checked) It's just distilled water and anti static surfactant, which keeps dust from sticking to the lenses.
It is by FAR the best thing I have tried, but that oily haze returns after a few hours still!!
Best way I can describe it is that the lens will *look* clean, but there are rainbow looking swirls on the glass, like when you see some oil floating on top of water.
It's driving me nuts

I am thinking it may be whatever they use to add that anti glare coating??
It's really F*ing with me, cuz it's bad enough I have 2 totally diff line free progressive lenses as one eye sees fine far not close the other the opposite.
Grrrr...Any suggestions?

 

[JLM73]

Today's af due today or tomorrow, booo
i HATE lol

 

[bdb84]

Good morning, ladies! :wave:

Shae- you’re hilarious! And definitely making me crave a glass of wine.

JLM- I’m so sorry about the bfn. Fx for a pleasant surprise this cycle. But if not, I pray that next cycle is yours.

AFM- I took a wondfo and a FRER this morning. I may need to adjust my expectations because I was expecting the FRER to be darker and more solid this AM but it’s the same darkness as the one I took yesterday evening. And the second line is kind of squiggly. Maybe I’ve just had too many losses to feel secure, but it just really worries me.

Pics at your request, JLM. And y’all PLEASE tell me if posting these bother you. I feel like it’s a slap in the face for some of you ladies who have been trying long term.

 

[TexasRider]

No you’re good- honestly- i love looking at pee sticks. Even if I haven’t seen a bfp of my own in over 7 years haha.

The cheapie looks loads darker though so I honestly think you’re good right now. Those lines look great for not even being due for your period till Monday.

Those are great lines for 12dpo is it? My lines are always darker in the evening va the morningI did an awful thing and tested both yesterday and today 9&10dpo ok FRER and negative-stark white! so I’m pretty bummed about that. BUT I did have a dream last night about a positive pregnancy test so I still have hope. I always get a positive pregnancy dream before my BFP on all of my pregnancies.

 

[DobbyForever]

Agreed lines look great and we’re big on line porn here

Sigh a was on room air for 12 hours then suddenly tanked so now he is on low flow oxygen support siiiiiigggghhh I was so excited to get discharged this morning

 

[JLM73]

DObDob sorry to hear that, but hope he keeps getn better day by day!!
Any updates on "some guy" who makes poor decisions?

ANL Don't think I've seen you here before. I've been here for yearrrs but left a couple months.

bdb pfffft upload away!! We LOVE Line porn!!!!
And you are getting AMAZING lines for AF being 3 days out still!!
Super sticky bun in there
I think most gals don't see the darkness change much until 48 hrs between tests BUT most agree FRER for the win on tracking progression. You Def should get a PREGNANT on digi with that frer line.

I forgot I could make my own pics neg with windows paint program (have to hold shift and ctrl then the i button - it's a hidden shorcut - google for the win lol) I got nuthin but that same faint haze
Not feeling any af achiness, but generally the just shows up on the TP later in the day as spotting

 

[DobbyForever]

That lame idiot was banned from the hospital because they have a no tolerance policy for physically assaulting employees and someone’s attorney told that idiot’s attorney to eat a bag of d***s in a less vulgar way

Just did a double take when I read anl lol

J keeping my fxed crossed she stays away and the haze turns out to be more

 

[claireybell]

Yes Bdb upload away, we all do haha! In my experience a Frer is only as dark as the control line when my af is either just due or overdue, it really depends on the dye thats used! Thats a very clear positive yay!

J, i dont wear glasses (only funnones for bedroom lol) i use the tv anti static cloth on those, the blue ones.. seems to do the trick

Sorry to hear A is on low Oxygen again Dobs.. big hugs lovey! He’ll be back to his bouncing cute self in no-time

Afm, left side ov paibs are coming in strong on/off today & had some real stretchy ewcm this morning, first time in like 3 cycles eeep!

 

[claireybell]

Lol at the double take Dobs

Ohhhhhh good!!! Just goes to prove he loses his s**t faaar to easy & no control! Not good! But great for your case

 

[mrs.green2015]

lol I did the same double take dobs.
Sorry about the oxygen. My baby did the exact same thing the night before we were supposed to leave he NICU. We're told we were going home and then he had a breathing attack and had to have the oxygen help him. We stayed one more night, so hopefully you only have to stay one more too.

Bdb- totally looking great! Congrats!!

Shae- lol! Drunky

Gigs- are you doing the pictures yourself?

J-sorry about the bfn

 

[gigglebox]

Sobs the fact he was off oxygen for awhile is surely a good sign! And YAY for exSO finally slipping up! Fx this grants you supervised visits.

Bdb POST AWAY! I stalk the test forums to see bfp's and stave off my own hope to see one of my own...it looks perfect as far as the shade goes! I tested daily with my m/c and the line stayed very light. It was barely progressing...by the time I reached something close to what you currently have, I was 18dpo and started to miscarry the next day. Your lines look really good! And I swear I'm not blowing smoke. I would tell you (as gently as possible) if I thought your lines looked like they were not going in the right direction. Also you've only tested a few hours apart, that's barely enough time for the levels to increase enough to make any difference on a pregnancy test.

J try rubbing alcohol and don't dry it, let it evaporate. Hubs swears by it on windshields so I don't see why it wouldn't work for glasses. It shouldn't leave a residue. If it does i think maybe it's safe to assume it's a coating on the glasses. I'd call the place you got it from and complain--you spent too much to have glasses that are annoying to wear!

 

[bdb84]

Thanks for all of your encouragement. I'm feeling loads better now.

Dob- I'm sorry A is back on oxygen. Hopefully today is the last of it.

Cb- Get to work today!!

JLM- I wear glasses and I use my shirt to clean them. I haven't had any issues so I'm assuming yours is from the coating. If you got them from your eye doctor, I'd take them up to the office and see if there is anything they do to prevent it.

 

[gigglebox]

Cb ahhh how could I forget to comment! Get some jiggy in today lady!!! Fx we both catch eggs and can be "bump buddies" this time around!

Uggghhh 2dpo and I'm already itching to pee on something! The addiction is real y'all!

Fluek I finally got the courage to step on a scale and I'm up 3lbs oops. Gonna get back in the swing of better eating...soon...also i keep forgetting to tell you when i type "fl" in my phone, Fluek is now the first thing predictive text suggests

 

[shaescott]

Bdb wow definitely get that digi, those are beautiful lines!

Dobs I’m sorry A is back on oxygen he’s a fighter though, he’ll be okay.

J I have glasses and I just rub them off on my shirt lol, when they’re on I don’t really see anything wrong on them. Most people with glasses end up just rubbing them on their shirt rather than using the cloth and stuff after a while.

Gigs not sure exactly when I started, I just know it was some time this past few months of being in college.
