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

[shaescott]

Ladies I am only cd2 and likely out of TTC for rest of the year!
Just plotted out my expected next O and it falls on me needing to get a donation on 12-26/27....text my last guy back but I don't even see him listed on the donor database anymore GAH Why does he have to grow a conscious NOWWWWW lol

Everyone else and

Hey sorry haha I've been sick today so I've been sleeping all day. I've just been so busy lately.

 

[JLM73]

Gigglette Sorry for sure on your end...mine is always a bit iffier being a donor and not multiple days near O
About to totally unfriend my male bestie- he had such a TUDE near my O and kept asking "did you find your BLUE eyed donor??" all sarcastic
It's not MY fault that I have a thing for light eye- mine are dark as hell, and dammit if I have to resort to using a donor Damn right I can be picky.
Also- it had NOTHING to do with that - all my past SO's except 2 had brown eyes Just their parents had lighter eyes etc- hell his MOM has Green!
He needs a right size BOWL of STFU if you aren't gonna HELP and sit in the corner and SIP IT!

Then AFTER he knew I met donor for pick up- he didn't talk to me for like 5 days then called like mad saying Are you pg, Are you pg ???
WTH- like he cared he refused to donate to my cause, now he's all nosey.
So when he asked ystrdy, I said no it didn't work- he's like how do you know already
Ummm....anatomy class...ever had one????
I'm like um cuz I have my PERIOD...jackass.
Sorry I'm in a feisty mood this time....really need some but my bitchy mother is watching me like a HAWK saying I shouldn't have a drink...bcuz she doesn't
She has NO idea the stress I have right now grrrrr

Gigs If I wasn't bleeding like a freshly stuck sow ...STILL I would hold to that story for hope, but if theres a kid in there surviving this Flood
His name will be NOAH...

 

[gigglebox]

Bummer J and wtf, your friend needs to shut up for sure! I just KNOW he'd be jealous if you were pregnant! He wouldn't ask if he didn't care.

 

[Breeaa]

Noah, I'm dying.

Both of my babies have blue eyes like their dad even though I have brown eyes. Blue eyes are so pretty. Green are too though!

 

[JLM73]

That's cool Bree- My daughter's father has outright bright baby blues, so she def has a 50/50 chance of having blue eyed kids with her SO of almost 3 yrs.
My 2 sons - one has light brown like his dad, and the other got my mud puddles- they are so dark I literally thot I had black eyes as a kid
I was SOOO interested in the whole Punet Square gene transfer thing in college, I have always wanted to mix it up. My family is HUGELY diverse.
If I had the money I'd have that genetic breakdown testing that tells all your submissive traits, disease possibility based on family lines and ethnicity etc.
My mother is 100% Euro Portuguese( from Portugal not Brazil) BUT her mother was literally SUPER dark- from the Cape Verde Island lines, off the coast of Africa, and her father SUPER White with blue/green eyes the pic of him is black and white, so I know they are either color, but my mom says they changed colors...

So I consider myself contributing to equality, as with a light eye/hair father I know they have a possibility to have light eyes etc down the line, or at least are def carriers of the sub gene for it...otherwise my Maternal g'dads pretty eyes end for sure with me...
Every one of his kiddos had brown eye obvi - since the dom gene, but they carry his sub gene for blue....but they alllll with dark eye lines , and ALL his grandkids have dark eyes, married to same- so sad...
Yea I'm geeky like that.
Obviously there can always be an odd mutation for dark skin light eyes or hair, but it's usually a cultural thing- theres a whole like ISLAND of them!
Check out Solomon Island kiddos - most are Blondies
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zKZjSPaFUI
Also a few in Cameroon etc
I dated a guy in junior hi with eyes just like the girl below, and work with one now

 

[DobbyForever]

My mom wants a grandchild with my complexion, blonde hair, and either green or blue eyes lol

 

[mrs.green2015]

Hubs and I are both blonde with green eyes. So our kids are almost guaranteed to have blonde hair and green eyes. Lol kinda boring.

 

[JLM73]

Dobkins No pressure LOL
MrsG There's nothing wrong with light everything. I LOVE diversity, but consistency isn't borring lol
I love your Avatar- you two look so happy
My exSO of 2 yrs only dated "black" women- so I technically fit the choco-love he had I LOVED his look- Big Stocky Irish build- very pale, strawberry blonde.
He has a gorgeous teen son from prev marriage that is mixed race.
I always wondered what we would have had- given I have genes that go dark and light- so intensified in my kiddos by their dad.
My older kids EVERYone thinks are from some Latin Country- naturally tan, dark ringlet hair, dark eyes, both tall, my younger has the same complexion light eyes, dark brown hair, and is very tall already for a new 5 yr old.
Neither hib was insane tall, 5'10, and 6'. My dad was 6'2, my mom 5'2, and I only made it to barely 5'6"- Sooo since All my kiddos are tall- 23y/o son 6', 18yo daughter 5'10, and my 5 y/o is almost 4 ft tall
Me thinks Old grand dad's genes are doing it ( not to mention all the hormones in food...where did I put my tinfoil hat... )
My father side- MANY cousins are 6'" to 7'2"
I used to stare up at them in awe as a 10 y/o...they were like giraffes- ducking thru every doorway in my aunts house, feet hanging off every bed

 

[mrs.green2015]

I LOVE mix raced people. I think they're the most gorgeous people. Especially white and black or Hispanic and black. I always wanted to have babies with someone of another race so my kids had those gorgeous genes. But I fell in love with a super white boy. Haha were both really white. But he tans really easily. Me, not so much. Haha I'm my pic I was tanning for over a month so I wasn't the same color as my wedding dress!!

As far as tall goes... I'm 5'5 (ok maybe 5'4 and I lie) and hubs is a little over 6'5. I said from the beginning I wasn't having his kids because they would be huge! (You should see hubs shoulders :0 ) however he reassured me he was only 6 pounds. Come to find out he was a month early and 6 pounds! His twin brothers were born two months early and 5 pounds each!! My vagina is doomed.

 

[JLM73]

...I'm my pic I was tanning for over a month so I wasn't the same color as my wedding dress!!

That's too funny!
If I go to the pool literally I have farmer tan in 5 mins of FL sun HO joke...and it takes MONTHS to get rid of the godawful lines sigh


As far as tall goes... I'm 5'5 (ok maybe 5'4 and I lie) and hubs is a little over 6'5. I said from the beginning I wasn't having his kids because they would be huge!

Ahh you'll be finnnne No one tell her...

Seriously tho I worked years in L&D and you would hear this 6' tall women SCREAMING like they were literally being axe murdered...then a Tiny cute Asian lady would come in smiling politely, and standing calmly at the desk for me to sign them in, and 5 mins later nurses yelling
ARGGHH SHE"S CROWNING!!!
WTH- some serious vajay Tai Chi or sumthing but I want that!!!!

But honestly - I was 8lbs15oz, and sideways- c sect and only grew to barelllly 5'6" sigh- I wanted to model back when...
My 6'1" broad shoulder son - was 7lb5 oz
My daughter 8lbs6oz
They always say babies get bigger each preg pffft
My super tall 5 yr old was only a little over 6lbs
And my surro twins 5lb, and 4 lbs
After all that my vajay is tight as ever ( do your kegels lol)
Oh and the twin csect was a breeze- walking the halls same day, only ibuprofen after .
My last son OMG emerg hack job csect ( heartrate in 40's after I struggled to get to 9.5cm for my first natural attemp )
I was STILL hurting at 10 weeks post partum- seriously thot the doc left some instruments in there!!

 

[gigglebox]

Well, there's always the option to pop 'em out the sun roof, Mrs. I had to do it....even if i made it to 10cm (which i didn't, only got to 7), large heads run in hubs' side of the family. Des' was 14.25" circumference!!! Hubs' was 14" when he was born. Hubs' brother had a baby in January that had a 14.5" head! And his wife is this skinny American/Japanese chick (talk about beautiful features) and had the same fate as me, obviously (c section).

 

[JLM73]

OMFG...ok I can't write this stuff in my life if I tried LMAO

So donor-yungin...this cycle...I text him at NOON asking if he was still willing to be my donor- no weirdness etc...CRICKETS ALLL DAY

Here it is , 9:30 at night and he replies back with :
"Is my penis small?"
OMFG!!
I was like- wow...that's an odd reply...Why, do you need a reference?lol
and he said YES!
I can't ....

 

[mrs.green2015]

Hahaha so he agreed to be donor?!?
But he is self conscious that his penis is small? Lol well is it???

 

[JLM73]

LOL no he hasn't agreed- nothing more other than his reply back
That he feels like it is small WTF lol
I told him Ummm don't you guys google stuff like that to compare>??
Whatever he's probably drunk or just wanted to feel better

No he's not small at all, not the hugest I've seen real life- avg for a 5'10-6 ft guy...now this Belgian guy I dated years ago
Not just Belgian horses are huge! and OMG always like an hour or more
OUCH for a couple days after...saddle sore

 

[DobbyForever]

Some girl problems probably killed his ego. SO is so into himself and sometimes I'm too tired to play along with his ego boosts. Especially around his penis. some days you just can't fake it

 

[JLM73]

Dobs Amen sista...nuthing worse than a guy that needs CONSTANT reassuring...ugh Major turn off for me.
My little boys dad was like that every hour of every day...then when I didn't feel like BSing and told him honest comments he became an abusive bully- seriously they say WE are moody and inconsistent??
My ex was such a basketcase I was constantly dreading when he came home and ruined the happy peaceful mood of the whole house everyday...NEVER again.

 

[campn]

Hey ladies!

Sorry I've been MIA! I've been lurking and checking on all of you but I have nothing to update on, still waiting to ovulate, long cycles seriously suck, most days I forget we are even trying cause it takes so long to get to the fertile window.

CB- Love the scan pictures! Definitely favorite part of pregnancy, beside the first few kicks and gender scan!

Gigs- it's still early! You're only 10-11 DPO!? Fx this is your cycle!

J- That donor sound like he's got the crazies, I hate self conscious guys, if you're not convinced of yourself, why should I be convinced of you!? You know yourself better than I do!

MrsG- Any news on the house!? Sorry if I missed an update, it's hard to catch up on this thread!

Dobs- How are you chicky!? Did you O yet!? I know we were AF buddies last cycle. Can't stalk your chart now!

 

[JLM73]

Yea I think all donors are a we weird lol
Actually I think he's just young and likes to be sexually bold in talk, but was kind of reserved in person- a bit shy lol.
It was actually very cute.
I'm the kind of person that will call someone out sexually lol.
Don't talk sh^* and not be prepared to back it up

 

[campn]

True, in fact all men are weird especially when it comes to their penises, like we wouldn't be that hurt if someone said our lady parts weren't that big

Are you going to try to find another donor?

 

[JLM73]

TRUE!
I am not having luck with the donor thing and Xmas...not even gonna sweat it- it'll just stress me more and irritate the hell outta me sigh
Maybe Santa will bring me some surprise cups
