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

[mrs.green2015]

Gigs- woot woot for the new van. I really really really want a new car but it'll have to wait, especially since mine will be paid off in a couple months. Love the auto sliding doors!!!

Flu- glad you're feeling better. Most of us are over here too. How are you revealing at your party? And wow that's amazing that your DH did that!!

Cb- what is jacket potatoe?

Pretty- great line!!!


New line porn. Top is yesterday and today is bottom. Defiantly can see it's darker in just one day so I feel pretty good aboutnjt. Although I don't think I'm going to realize I'm actually pregnant until after an ultrasound or more symptoms arise.

 

[DobbyForever]

I got my period!!!! I am so thrilled. It’s stupid lol

I had a feeling she was on her way because my appetite stopped and went back to normal the last month. I dropped about 7/8 lbs since school started. So yay! I know my doctor was never concerned but you know how doctor google is haha

Greenie we are going to hide my pink pumpkin in his carved one. I'll have to see if I just want to turn it around or take it out of the carved pumpkin. Also I'll be in a pumpkin costume and DH is going to be a "pumpkin" farmer "rofl: I wish I could get V into it, but she's just too young to cooperate.

Glad you all are starting to feel better too. Being sick as a mom sucks, but thankfully I have good support.

Your test progression looks fab. Tell DH today It all gets more real once symptoms come in and then the 1st ultrasound there is nothing like seeing that heartbeat

Dobby yay for AF!!!! Hope it's not too bad for ya. Happy Friday, I hope you enjoy your weekend.


Guys I'm so unmotivated. Seriously, I just want to goof off or lock my door and take a nap on the floor.

 

[wookie130]

Greenie, that is so exciting!!! I can't wait to hear how you break the news to DH. When in doubt, hit up pinterest.

Hi all! Have been reading along but its so insanely busy I never have time to post. Wow congrats with all the new babies! It just makes me crave another one even though we are happy with one and done! Not on bc because with the endo & needed surgery as well as IVF to have G, add that to my age (37), the chances of me conceiving are zero! But at the moment my biological clock is screaming at me and even dh has said he would mind another one though he is completely happy with G as an only child. We'll see! Im just going to jump him regularly next cycle as I have no idea when I ovulate. Wish me luck!

 

[Hr316]

We’ve been pulling out for 4 years. I’m 95% sure I’m preggo. But haven’t gotten a positive yet. Of course in 9 dpo so it’s EARLY. But even though it’s early I have TONS of symptoms. Or else it would have never ever crossed my mind! Things I’ve never seen my body do. I’ll find out shortly! So basically I’m pregnant, insane, or dying. Lol

 

[claireybell]

Planning on testing again tomorrow! And probably every day

 

[Flueky88]

Wookie she is adorable and happy early birthday to her. How's life??

Fern, I'm sorry you feel down about your fertility. I think having a child does improve it. I remember ttc V and ppl tild me stories of women who did IVF for 1st and got pregnant naturally with 2nd.

Is your husband more civil??

Hr good luck!


CB oh man that sounds so yummy. I'd probably gotten too full as well.

I stayed awake by working on my amazon registry. I have my 2nd wind and need to make a clam dip for party tomorrow. Just procrastinating on bnb

 

[TexasRider]

Hello everyone! I’ve been reading everything just about every day. I do love following y’all and your stories. I’ve been super busy with work and sickness-our entire family just got over the stomach virus for the second time this school year and today my sister got diagnosed with strep and of course we hung out the last 2 days and i can feel my throat getting sore... ugh. Plus I almost feel like I don’t have a place on this thread anymore since I’m technically not TTC or WTT or even NTNP. I know That’s not really how it is but I’ve never been a super regular poster almost as if I don’t think people would be interested in my boring life. Ha!

Anyway to the ladies who have had losses I am so sorry. May your TTC journey be short for your rainbow baby if that’s your chosen path.

To Green and PrettyinInk (if memory serves correctly) congrats on your BFP! Hope everything goes great with your pregnancys.

Shae glad school is going well. Keep up the good work and you will be a stellar nurse I’m sure.

As for me. Things are ok. Cleaned out the shop for hubs and gave away the crib. Legit last thing baby related in our house and it didn’t suck as bad as i thought it would. I can honestly say I’m at peace over the no more babie unless we seriously do have a miracle. But between the fact that hubs and I barely do it and his MJ smoking I’m not sure how much of a chance we would even have. He’s been playing the new call of duty game basically nonstop and i go to bed before he does. We don’t even sleep in the same bed. Tabs hates sleeping alone and legit won’t go sleep or stay asleep unless i sleep with her. And she’s at the inlaws tonight but I’ve had a lingering light red watery discharge for days after my regular af is gone. He doesn’t like to ride the crimson wave haha so if it’s even the slightest chance there is a reddish discharge he is out.

Anyway I’ve been watching playoff baseball and enjoying the cooler weather in Texas but not all the rain. It was great for a little while but meh I’ve had enough now lol.

I will try and post more regularly just wanted to say congrats and sorry to a few.

 

[mrs.green2015]

Tex- I was just thinking about you I'm glad you're checking in. So sorry about the possible strep. Hopefully you can get tested asap if you are suspicious.

Flu- ugh no energy or motivation. We've all been there. Your making a baby from scratch, you earn the naps! Lol

HR- welcome and look froward to seeing your test.

Cb- yum! I ate way too much dinner, turkey and gravy. Yummm

Fern- hey!! I second flu, how is DH acting? I know you two were having a rough patch. And miracles do happen...

I probably missed someone. Sorry.

So I told DH tonight. He's always said he wants 2 kids because all the 'deals' are sold in family 4 packs. lol like amusement parks and whatnot. So it's been an ongoing joke. So I wrapped up the tests in a box and on the wrapping paper I woke "no more..." and inside on a paper above the tests said "...family 4 packs" he didn't say anything for a minute. I think he was in total shock. But then he was happy. I think we're both scared, nervous, excited and all the feelings.

 

[PrettyInInk42]

Gigs - Congrats on the van.

Green - Good looking line. And I hear you about the not feeling pregnant thing. I've had no symptoms and haven't had any testing or scans to confirm. Plus I dunoo how SO, my mom and MIL are gonna take the news. -.- Also, glad DH took the news well.

Flueky - Maybe, about my progression being off by like a week. Guess I'll see what I measure at during my scan. Really hoping I'm not too far off in my timing. I'd like at least 30 days between my kids' BDays.

Dobby - Yay for AF! lol

Fern - Best of luck.

 

[gigglebox]

Tex!!! Hey beautiful, glad to hear an update. Also glad you are at peace with where your ttc journey is at right now. I still hope this isn't "it" but also it sounds like Tabs would be fine either way. Sorry she is giving you grief at night! How are her ears btw?

Green haha cute reveal! Yup the news is alarming at first but you guys will be all excited when it sinks in!

For those not feeling pregnant...I think it didn't hit me until about 17-20 weeks and I had scans and plenty of symptoms lol.

So I passed my GD test, but looking at my cbc results it appears my platelets are low again (they were when i was sick earlier this year) and whatever level determines anemia is slightly below normal limits, too. Does this mean I'm anemic again? I was literally just telling my mom how I felt that way recently. My dr hasn't called or anything so I'll probably just modify my diet and ask at the next appointment. My understanding is pregnancy can reduce these numbers anyway...

 

[TexasRider]

Gigs- yes i believe she would be fine either way. In fact she made a comment about a sibling a few weeks ago and I was like well baby if you have a sibling you have to share your stuff and you won’t have a playroom and a bedroom. And momma will have to take care of the new baby and not be able to sleep in your bed anymore with you... she looks at me and said “just the 3 of us is fine” hahaha

Her ears are doing good as far as we know. When we went for a follow up in August the left ear tube was out (it was supposed to be one of those so called permanent ones) and the eardrum has healed completely and there was already fluid behind it so we put in a new left tube the next week. We go back Nov 9 for a check and hopefully the tubes are staying put in both ears.

Glad to know you passed that horrid GD test. And yeah i would say if your iron was outside of the limits you would possibly be considered anemic. Definitely try to get your iron in. Seems like i remember our hospital won’t let you do certain pain meds during labor if you’re anemic??? Maybe I’m wrong. It’s been a hot minute (or 10) since I’ve been pregnant and literally everything has changed it seems like. Ha!

 

[pacificlove]

Gigs, I was anaemic with Logan's pregnancy. My mw just me take an iron supplement and all good. ( Stupid iron supplement just makes your poop black and you have a higher risk of constipation...)

Fern, glad to hear you are doing ok as well as tabs.

I had good sleep last night, fell asleep early, slept through the night and now L is sleeping in.

 

[DobbyForever]

Tex! Fern! Good to hear from you both!

Gigs I second that pregnancy can make your iron drop. I was in the range for anemic, but my gyn said I wasn’t because I was in normal for pregnancy vs non pregnant. So I didn’t do anything other than try to eat more iron rich foods. Hoping that’s the case for you. Yay passing gd!

Tex good to hear you and T are in a good place about another. I do echo gigs and still hoping

Fern yes inquiring minds want to know lol

Green omfg that’s so awesome!! And lmfao I never considered that yeah family four packs!

Wook C is so cute!!! I can’t believe it’s been a year.

Ok ran out of energy sorry . Period is good. Super light but gyn said that’s to be expected since the depo blocks hormone whatever which is what builds your lining so I don’t have much to shed. But cue backaches and cramps plus crap sleep so back to bed now that A is out

 

[shaescott]

Green congrats on telling DH, so exciting! Do you get your 2nd beta result this afternoon?

Tex it’s good to hear from you, I hope Tabs is doing okay other than the sleep thing. Sorry your TTC journey is over, but hoping you somehow get a miracle baby, even though it’s not likely.

HR ooo totally take some tests over the next few days! We love squinting at pregnancy tests here!
