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

[mrs.green2015]

Gig- if you wait until the right time to have another you'll never have another. My mom always told me that about having kids. And she's absolutely right.

Dob- I know it was a mistake! Well kind of. The hospital is right by the giants stadium with their own parking that is super cheap so that wasn't such a big deal. It's the traffic! But we still go occasionally because it's only only maybe an hour and 20 minutes from out house.

J- holy drama! Hopefully you can stay out of it and get some spermies!

Campn- any update on o?

Afm- officially out of opks and will not be buying more. Talked to hubs and we decided to just bd every other day and go off of temps. No more opks and no more stress (haha I say that not. Give me a day or so I'll be right back to buying opks and stressing)
Also officially starting paperwork and putting a partial down payment on the house on Monday!! I keep looking at pictures and thinking about how much I love it.

Gigs Agreed -DON'T wait. IMO every year I put off ttc, it makes it that mucher harder to get preggers

As for me and new SO- sorta
I have never shied away from a challenge, annnd judging by his"physical" reaction just kissing It wouldn't be hard to get him to commit.
He's already hooked off of kissing and talking and just hanging out...Once he ventures a bit further ( which he doesn't try to stop me lol) He will be TKO'd, hook, line and sinker.
As for the baby thing, hoping to meet up again tonight and pick his brain on whether he doesn't want another child AT ALL or just doesn't want a bio babe in case something goes south.
Then I won't push it until he is putty in my hands...right now he's kinda play doh Moldable, but gotta work it a bit

J, I just want to remind you that married men are bullshiters. You were just laughing with his wife, doesn't sound like someone who is unhappily married. Have you heard FROM HER that she is over it or just from him? Because last time I took a married guy's word for it, I was being stalked by his "separated but not legally" and ended up with two restraining orders and having to testify in criminal court and a bum trap muscle. Just be careful. PLEEEEASE

Greenie, yeah that's not too bad of an area. The only streets that get backed up really is the Embarcadero. The rest is just fast paced, too many pedestrians, bikes, and cars trying to use the streets at once. It's, on a typical day though, not that bad. I've had to go up mid week or even an eventless weekend is fine. There's just so much fun stuff up there it makes it worth the headache

I also like your just BD every other day plan. No point in working yourself up over OPKs. Tbh, I only used them because I don't have (to steal J's terms) a live in penis. So I had to know when I was gearing up to O to make sure SO was over that night. It just worked out well that my Os were on the weekend and I could easily steal him for a night or two Th-Sun.

UGH I miss ttc. Does it make me a terrible human being that every night when I go to take my pills I just look at them for like a minute and briefly consider trashing them instead of taking them? Yes. Ok. I'm going to go hide now. PLUS I'm SO HAIRY like WTF I used to be on this pill as a teen/young adult and it only did good things for my body. My boobs are smaller, my periods heavier and more painful, and I am turning into a man with all of my facial hair!!! DSAHUFGADUKGAUGDhalsi

 

[DobbyForever]

P.S. Gigs, we all agree not to wait so give in to the peer pressure

 

[mrs.green2015]

Dob- well we all agree you shouldn't wait to Ttc so YOU give in too. Hana

The prenatals make me sooo hairy!! It's so gross I feel like I need to get my whole body waxed haha

 

[campn]

MrsG- Nothing at all, I think soy might have had the opposite effect on me and will make me ovulate even later than I already do. I feel like I'm a kid standing holding a baseball bat and a billion ball are being thrown at me! It's coming from everywhere, the TTC gods don't like me. Those jerks!
I like your plan though, really the stress can't be helping us.

Gigs- Yes give in! Give in!

Dobs- Phew glad I'm not the only hairy one, but I've always been so I can't blame it on bc or prenatals, but the only perk to it is my hair grows so long and thick, so can't complain, also I like to pretend I'm a feminist and be like, well I ain't shaving, hair is natural!

Also, reconsider the tick tack plan I think you should toss bc in the trash and see what happens. SOOO, give in! Give in!

 

[DobbyForever]

He'd just shit a sideways brick if I fell anytime. Now that I'm pulling out of the whole dark depression, he's finally dealing with his emotions and it is not pretty. We'll see. He comes "home" Sunday/Monday which is when I start the sugar pills so maybe I'll approach the topic.

P.S. I love that we are all hairy. Campn, I have always had more hair than my friends but it's fine and I have dark skin so it's not too noticeable. I did hair my arms in high school though. I felt like a gorilla at times.

 

[JLM73]

Dobs- I think you confused the two New SO -sorta is the guy separated from his wife. He has his own apt, been separated a while and she doesn't want to work it out, which is why he left- Literally with his clothes, 1 couch, a twin bed and a skillet LOL.
Man friend is staying that - he's the one with the wife I was chatting with at a party.
Two diff people.
The SO sorta is married on paper- households separated a while ago.
I def wouldn't be trying to call a married man still with his wife an SO- no way!

 

[campn]

Ladies would you call this a positive? I feel like if I held my pee longer it'd have been?

 

[mrs.green2015]

Campn- I would say tentatively yes. Maybe test again tonight or tomorrow and see if they get lighter or darker. And then base the answer off that, if that makes sense. Get to bding!

 

[campn]

Mrs- I usually ovulate the next day my OPKS turn positive, so you're right, time to BD! But I'm only doing it for you! it's for a good cause!

 

[DobbyForever]

Lol J that's why I have nicknames for guys when I was dating like Peter UCLA Grad or Drew The Libertarian Asshole (aka my fiancé haha) or Joey the Software Engineer or Tom the Walnut Farmer or John No Personalty.... You get the idea

Campn, I would bd and keep testing. I still call it negative but it is darn close. I imagine it'll be positive tonight/early morn tomorrow. And lol only doing it for greenie. It's it's the name of science! Is what we used to say or "for research purposes"

 

[Catiren]

im mad at myself because i keep noticing symptoms. i dont wanna spot but i cant help it wen they r sooo obvious and weird and adjacent to bfp stories (including my own). i need to stop the madness and no i will not stop poasing so early

 

[claireybell]

OMG I totally have names for guys I dated, I even rename them on my phone (if I don't delete them!) I'd tell you what names I call them but I think I'd be booted off this website... I'd call them lady parts but vaginas take a pounding and are strong.

I just got some BD in, I think I've pulled my last porn star card on DH... I bet he feels so used.

Claire- Sorry you've been so busy hun, I guess that's how the holidays always go. I'm covered with food stains as I was cooking all morning, I made a shepherds pie!

 

[DobbyForever]

Campn you are HILARIOUS!!!!

Cait, hang in there. What dpo are you again?

 

[JLM73]

Hey chica- didn't you think you O'd the other day? I am so behind on here with the Xmas craziness. I thot you mentioned feeling the one sided pains and a bit of stretch in cm??I'm humor me lol

Dobitty LOL those names! Thankfully I only have a couple
Exhubs 1 ( nice) Ex hubs 2 ( A-hole) ManFriend, and NewSO-sorta LMAO
OMG you guys - He asked me to meet him at a corner store to get back a few hats I am going to make longer, and right behind my bag of hats He toally had a huge gift bag for me!! Nothing fancy but it is filled with bath items - oils and lotions and really nice bath beads etc! I think it is sooo sweet he thought about me!
He was on his way to visit his parents and I thought he was way gone, but he said he wanted to meet up before he got down the road..points on the board!
We are no where near gift exchange dating time, so I didn't expect to give/get anything. Luckily I gave a couple of my Portuguese cakes ystrdy, and some Asian spring roll wrappers he had been trying to find. So he got something LOL

Campn The way I look at opks when I can't decide, is to put them down on a table then squint- seriously- you will be able to tell if the Overall shades are equal, or if the test is a bit lighter.
Yours looks close, but I would call it neg for now. And I agree it may very well be full positive by later today, or early am. Keep an eye on it but it Mama! I will live thru you all LOL.

 

[campn]

Dobby- You make me laugh all the time, and also you warm up my heart

Jlm- Aww that's so sweet of him! That's the religious guy right? Is he Buddhist or so? Cause I remember something about monks or priests. Anyway, I think it's a pretty good sign, I'm not that material of a person but I appreciate when guys invest in you, even if it's just bath stuff, it's the thought that counts. (He might ask to see you use them in action though)

Hopefully that opk turns positive tomorrow,(for MrsG too) we got to BD today so that's good! Live through me all you want, but hopefully I don't disappoint and get all nice and knocked up soon, for a good cause like I said! scientific purposes!

I'm not a patient person, and TTC is teaching me that everything happens when the time is right!

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all of you sweet ladies!

 

[DobbyForever]

Idk if this is the mimosas talking, but after all the crap I got today from family and seeing what other people have I have decided that I want a baby and going from TTC and pregnant to suddenly WTT for 3 years does not fly with me.

 

[JLM73]
