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

[gigglebox]

Future not seeing it but it's kind grainy on my phone. This pregnancy i got the faintest line at 9 AND 10dpo; didn't start really showing until 11dpo then it picked up.

Bdb i can see your bump for sure, but it is small no doubt due to your petite frame and i'm guessing decent abs? My friend had twins then a singleton and omg she was probably into the third tri before she REALLY started showing. Baby was fine!

Cb yikes that is scary! Stop reading the internet! I hope everything is good.

J what makes you suspect a cp?

 

[claireybell]

J hey sorry about CM

Yeah i know Lol! i just reading standard NHS stuff but the Hysterectomy bit is what the Consultant said, worse case obvs ohhh

 

[mrs.green2015]

I've been worried about keeps too. I'm sure life is hectic with the new addition though. Hopefully she's just busy adjusting.

J- I second what makes you think chem?

Cb- worst case Or not still scary! Are you done after 3 kids? I'm sure you've said I just can't remember.

Dobs- so sketchy this is my fear of staying in a hotel with a baby. The sketchy crib situation. Let's be real, hotels are kind of gross already. lol can't believe I stayed in a hotel with baby max when he was days old!!!!!

AFM- I'll show you guys my completely negative opks. This is how they've all been. I took this one about 30 minutes ago. So annoying because this is the ONE week my husband will be home at night. Oh well. We've decided we're moving out of state come the first of the year. Well that's when DH will start applying for work (union so shouldn't be too hard to get work in his field). So in 6-7 months looks like we'll be moving. Scary but exciting. Well be moving pretty close to my sister so that's exciting. I'm glad we finally made a decision.
Okay I'm rambling. Hope everyone has a great day!

J I’m sorry about the suspected chemical

CB yikes sounds scary. I agree with the others that Dr. Google is not your friend rn.

AFM I don’t remember if I told you guys that I was ordering another size up on the bras cuz I was getting the bra bump bulge thing still with the new 32Ds, plus the underwire was pinching under my boobs. So I just got my 34Ds in the mail, a full coverage, a plunge, and a medium bralette. The full coverage fits great, no boob bulge, no gaping, perfect. Band is perfect tightness level. My only complaint is that the underwire is a bit wide and high on the sides, but I’m gonna wear it for a day or two and make sure I can get used to it. I’m pretty sure it’ll be fine. The plunge bra is great in the cups just like the full coverage, but feels a little loose in the band. Might exchange it for a 32DD. The bralette is okay, despite being padded I think it lacks support quite a bit due to being wirefree (though I have a wire free bra that’s supportive), so I wouldn’t wear it if I’m gonna be at clinical or anything. It might end up as a sleep bra. I’m gonna exchange the first order bras that I didn’t cut the tags off of (cuz they felt like they fit at first so 2/4 I cut tags off). Gonna check the band feel on them before deciding whether to go for a 32DD or a 34D.

Either way it’s sooo weird to me. I’ve always considered my boobs to be small, and people have even commented that they’re small as an insult (including SO’s brother who told SO I had pancake boobs, now he’s dating a girl with smaller boobs than me so, shows him). I feel like a D or DD cannot possibly be small. I’m skinny too, so you’d think they’d look bigger on my body, but they don’t. Maybe cuz I’m tall? I mean, my mom is like a G/H cup depending on her weight at the time, so I know a D/DD isn’t huge by any means, but I remember in 8th grade my friend with the big boobs was a DD, so like whaaaat? I mean, she was a 36 or 38, but still, her boobs looked huge, and mine do not. I’m a little salty about it, like why can’t my boobs look their size? Maybe it’s their shape? They’re kinda wide set and from the side they aren’t super rounded, it’s like a slope on the top half, though from the front they look quite round. They’re obviously not fake based on shape lol. Bras with underwires make the top of my boobs rounded though, which is what causes the spillage. Not that anyone cares about my boob shape lol, I’m just trying to figure out the cause of the small boob illusion. Perhaps it’s cuz they’re not big in projection/side view but they’re bigger width wise, like from front view, so they look small cuz the side view is tiny. Idk man. Imma be salty about it no matter what.

It will be the small back and height thing shae. No one ever believes I’m a 28H but I am!! People guess I’m a D! And I’m short!

Sorry just managing to get back on , was working at the local church and the kids were rowdy as heck, and my back is screaming- too much lifting!

I've had chems in the past, basically I went from what I thought was cycle 51 ( yessss fifty fricking ONE) into what I thought was a period starting cycle 52, but it was very light mostly spotting, and being the mad scientist I combined the 2 charts on FF and legit only had ONE day where temp dipped below coverline, then temp jumped right back up, plus I had a good few tests with very very faint lines, but hey, I'm damn near 45 so I'm much more likely to have a chem than a successful preg

Add to that the drama of ex hub trying everything possible to reunite and the fact that I just started talking to a new guy
It def woulda been messy - so worked out for the best really.
And apparently something I said after gave ex hubs hope of reconcile
So yea....Hot mess party of 1 checking in for role call
So now I gotta do damage control to back the ex up of my bubble

 

[JLM73]

This was my cray cray BBT chart from cycle 51 to 52
My temp kept recovering and I suspect if my Beotch doc had been willing to just do a beta/progest things may have been different.
I fired her ass. She had a baby 2 yrs ago and has zero compassion for anyone Adv maternal age
I tested ALOT but IMO there was not enuff progress to mark a true BFP

 

[claireybell]

J thats a reeeally long cycle.. were u getting the light test lines? Lovely to hear u met a new guy, regardless of ex trying to make it work after all this time & all around the time of CM, typical.. how long u been chatting with new guy? Love the beginning of meeting someone new, waking up & seeing that they’ve messaged u hehe sets u up for the day

MrsG, yeah 3 is our limit lol im being sterilised after this one, they whip my other tube out, i feel sad that il never experience pg again & the new baby bit etc but tbh il be nearly 38 when bub arrives & i want to start living, holidays etc & for SO, this is his 4th child What cycle day u on? Fx your OPK’s will start getting abit more colour soon, can take a couple cycles after coil removal to get the body jump started sometimes

 

[JLM73]

CB I had only shadow type lines on wally cheapies and 1 frer
This relationship is VERY new just a few weeks

 

[gigglebox]

Shae the smaller your band size gets, the smaller the corresponding cup size gets. In toger words dd cups on a 38 band are much larger than dd cups on a size 32 band. Does that make sense? I'm about a 38 b/c at my heaviest and 32dd at my lightest, and my boob size barely changes. The size would have you believe they got bigger

J was this the same cycle with the experimental blood on the test?

 

[JLM73]

Yup Gigs
Same cycle which was weird AF I was able to do 2 more blood tests just for sh*ts n gigs, but never got a line as dark so not sure whats up with that

 

[gigglebox]

No idea...have you tried it put again since getring your period this cycle? I'd be curious what happens when you're not pregnant

Anyway tell us about this new tall drink! Does he know your situation? Where did you meet him?

 

[JLM73]

Nah no more testing yet I'm only like 5-6dpo
I did do an opk today for curiosity and it's negative as hell

Don't even ask the back story but I ended up meeting him while at the hospital a cpl weeks ago while being treated for high b/p
He's my age, shocking since I tend to date older
Gorgeous Blue eyes , and he's a Scorp like me so it's either gonna be Bonnie and Clyde or a hot disaster.
So far so good we are alot alike in personality and just kinda ended up hanging together every day at the hospital.
Ex hubs is pissy cuz h was hoping to reconcile, but once I'm over someone I can't go back to feeling the same for them

 

[DobbyForever]

Complained and upgraded to 61st out of 64 floors we have a massage room A MASSAGE ROOM in our room my mom is getting her own private masseuse as we speak I can’t even lolol

And now k drunk cuz buffet at mirage has wine included haha 3 huuuuge pours for $3 tip and $80 for 5 people cuz military discount and free parking :rofl

I’m so hammered

 

[JLM73]

Oh forgot to mention I tried the blood hpt things a few times, only the first time I got a blazing test line, the next time was much weaker and the last time was no 2nd line.
I did learn that blood takes FOREVER to make it's way across the test, and def have to wait out the results given how red/pink the test is.
I saw some ppl diluting their blood but I just went 100% on it.

 

[DobbyForever]

A is napping mom is getting in room massage gave me go ahead to room service wine and tub. Omg so happpy she won $1500 in casino last nights

 

[shaescott]

Gigs yeah the sister sizes thing. That’s why when I was a 32C I got 34Bs at Walmart cuz they didn’t carry 32s in C. But my boobs definitely got bigger, cuz I was a 34B before, and now I’m a 34D or 32DD. I know someone with a 38DD is gonna be way bigger than me, if I had a 38 band it would be a 38B (and tied in a knot in the back cuz that would be huge on me).

It’s more that I feel like my boobs shouldn’t look small at a 34D/32DD cuz like, I feel like a 32DD should look bigger than a 38B on the person, even though it’s not actually bigger, cuz of the size relative to the rest of the body. Am I making sense? The boobs are the same size but the torso is thinner or wider, so like it looks different on different bodies, right? No? Idk, man. I mean, a 32DD wouldn’t look visibly different from a 34D really, but I feel like a 38B is a drastic band difference so it would look smaller on the body...? Like due to proportions? Do your boobs look smaller in comparison to your body now than they did when you were a smaller band size? Curious since you actually had that transition happen. Bras are weird, boobs are weird, I give up man.

Dobs I’m glad you got the upgrade! Massages are awesome. It’s great that your stay improved. Gambling scares me, so I don’t think a Vegas trip is in my future, but I’m glad you’re having fun doing your thing.

J are you still using a donor or is new guy the new donor?

 

[Jezika]

Shae bras have always confused me too and I felt the same about being shocked by my cup size at one point in time. I honestly don’t know what size I am. I seem to have a thousand bras and just whack on whatever seems to vaguely fit, usually an ugly nude one so you can’t see it through clothes. Maybe google your bra size and see how big women’s boobs in the images look?

J sorry about the chemical. Still can’t believe that doc was such an a-hole. I was on a Facebook group this week where someone had posted saying their doc had advised them (at age 38) to not bother trying for kids at 40 because it’s too risky. Almost everyone responding to this post was outraged and tonnes of women shared stories of having healthy babies at 40 and above, but then one woman chimed in saying she’s a midwife so she has all the expertise and said she was horrified at everyone’s encouragement because there are SO many terrible risks above 40 and the OP should just adopt. Needless to say everyone was enraged by this and pretty much crucified her. I couldn’t quite believe it. Someone like that should not be in that line of work.

Green that’s great about the moving plans. Are you looking to buy? Will it be more affordable?

Gigs feeling better about gender stuff now?

PL I actually checked and the snowbirds are coming in Sep along with some US troop. Keen to hear how L liked it! Good luck at mw appt.

Dobs that’s awesome. Why are you in Vegas? And is that a frickin bubble bath?!

Sheeyat, gotta run; DH guilting me for being on my phone .

 

[DobbyForever]

My cousins are here and I hadn’t met one so my mom offered to fly us out cuz she was bored haha. Just sitting eating wine and cheese. Words cannot express the power of a warm bath. My mom went to gamble and felt bad and i’m Like hello I have half a bottle of wine and artisan cheese/bread/meats. Bye lol

Sorry all about me too buzzed to actually read and respond to anything not about me because i’m Self centered lol.

 

[Jezika]

Aeghhh artisanal cheese, bread and meats? Thanks so much; it’s now 1am and you’ve turned me from feeling fine to starving.
