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

[RexMom2Be]

Aw j: that bitchy witch. I'm going to try the soy thing this cycle, have you looked into it much? I'm 31, nearly 32, so my eggs are about 30-50% worse than in my 20's. :/

campn: don't worry about cramps! like the other ladies said, it's actually a good sign that things are happening in there for lil' bean!

gigs: 8DPO is super early, don't lose hope! Test again! I got Wondfos from amazon and they're lasted me 5 cycles, and i still have plenty left. POAS can be satisfied without using FRERs up!

AFM: so, today is AF's actual due date, but when i went to change my tampon, there's no blood. I am still spotting today, and had some pink spotting yesterday, which turned red, so i put a tampon in and bled very lightly (common for my first day) but usually by today I would be in pain and bleeding heavily. I'm not getting too excited, as all tests have been BFN, but if it doesn't full-on start today, I'll test again tomorrow morning!

 

[campn]

Thank you ladies. I feel better now, guess nothing about TTC or pregnancy is relaxing!

Rex- I definitely recommend soy, I took it from 2-6 and didn't have any side effects other than my late ovulation, but I guess it still worked. I also used preseed and soft cups, maybe try a few things and see what happens?

 

[gigglebox]

I have 6 wondfo's left...if i knew any better i would have used one of those this morning. I'll definitely use one tomorrow morning.

 

[gigglebox]

WILLPOWER! Small personal feat! I DIDN'T pee on a stick this afternoon!

*feeling smug*

 

[pacificlove]

Good job Gigs!! LOL, the things that excite us.

J, sorry the witch got you...

Me: I am trying to make a big decision, My work situation has changed and could head out to be with DH within 2 weeks. So DH would have to find us a different apartment to rent that would allow a 90lb dog and a cat. We would leave all the livestock here under the eyes of our renters (no livestock experience) and then drive back a few months later to pick them up... Honestly I don't feel comfortable with leaving the animals to a stranger who doesn't know a thing.

I could take the animals with me and risk biosecurity by putting them onto someone elses property near us only to move them again when we get possession of the house.

Once I leave here, I don't want to have to come back. Like a done for good deal. Does that sound selfish? DH is supportive either way, and I also think it would be hard for me to get time off a new job to complete our move.

I. Just. Do. Not. Know. Any. More.

Hahaaa loving that smugness Gigs

Campn i had achey crampy like af ones for days after i got my positive & still get them now, more so this wk actually! The lil shrimp is still nestling in hun so all normal i dont remember feeling anything hardly first time pg but def more aware this time, more nervous most def!

Oh no J so sorry hun period arrived really thought this was going to be it this month, maybe you can see if donor boy can give you a couple of cups this cycle? Ive known a few ladies in their 40's who have fallen preggers, & your still having regular periods & def know your ovulating, its poopy but sometimes just takes time & one cycle of randomness hang in there, its gonna happen JJ

Ooh Rex!! Fx'd its some IB hehee!

[mrs.green2015]

Gig- yay! Don't give in!

Pl- sorry for the hard decision but i think I would feel the same as you.

Cb- sorry about sickness! Too bad there isn't a quick fix. Soon this will be you Campn! Lol

 

[gigglebox]

Oh no cb, did you puke?!

Pl, what livestock do you have, exactly?

 

[gigglebox]

Sorry to be dominating this thread today with inane updates.

My cervix feels weird! it's medium high and squishy, tightly closed...on the down side, something similar happened last month i think, so not getting too excited....but yes i am.

 

[claireybell]

Haha its too easy to get excited looking forward to some frer pics tomorrow, did yours have those indent lines Gigs? We have old ones here in UK still but some batches have crappy indent lines uhhh!

Wasnt sick thank god but i thought i was honba.. Quick dash to bathroom eesh mouth watered the lot, im seeing this as a good thing as i never had sickness with Riley quite like this so it could be a sign of a girl.. Ha ha yeah right! No doubt its provs a boy

Pacific, whats BioSecurity?

 

[campn]

Some line porn for you ladies. Hormones have definitely hit. I just spent 30 minutes crying HARD over something that happened days ago that I'm just crying over now, and I usually don't really cry.

Awesome.

 

[gigglebox]

Thanks campn, i was itchin' to see some lines. Progressing nicely i see! What were you crying about?

 

[campn]

I had to give up my dog to a neighbor I've had her for 5 years but she had so many problems health wise and we couldn't afford to get her the care she needs. I feel like I gave up on her but we will go broke trying to run tests on her. She's been with me every step of the way... When we first gave her to my neighbor I felt I was doing the right thing and didn't feel too horrible but now I feel like someone died... It's all hitting me so hard now.

 

[gigglebox]

I'm sorry campn i'm not sure those are hormones,that sounds like a tough situation regardless of your pregnancy status. I once had to give a guinea pig up because they're very social creatures, and her cagemate died, and i didn't have the time to give her attention. She went to a much better home but it's so hard...like you've failed them. BUT you are giving her her best chance! Better that than a shelter or something, giving her to a person you know will take good care was very selfless of you.

 

[mrs.green2015]

Keeping my fingers so tightly crossed for you gigs!

 

[TexasRider]

Well I have been stalking this thread for over a week now so I guess I will join in the conversation lol.

I had to leave my pet when I left my ex husband. He absolutely refused to give him to me. I found out some time later that when he moved out to his house one of his neighbors shot and killed him... I was basically heartbroken. It was not a good situation at all. We don't have any pets as of now but when my daughter gets older we will get her a dog.

Campn those lines are looking great! I'm just hoping I O soon. I've still got the ewcm stuff and I'm starting to feel a bit crampy... But my OPK is definitely negative. I can post a pic in a second.

 

[TexasRider]

Here is my negative OPK haha. I just hope it turns positive and my chart reflects that I actually did ovulate...

 

[mrs.green2015]

Somehow I missed a ton of post? Anyway Campn, lines are beautiful and I'm so sorry about your dog. Like gigs said pregnant or not that's a tough situation and I'm sorry.

Texas- so so sorry about your ex and pet. That's just horrible. Pets became or family. I would be devastated.

 

[pacificlove]

Nice progression Campn, sorry about the doggy....

Read so many posts I forgot who asked about our livestock, we have sheep (4), chickens (~20, lost count), ducks (80ish), turkeys (2) and quails (4) that will all move with us.

Gigs: keeping my fingers crossed for you

 

[campn]

Texas- so sorry about your dog too hun, that's so horrible.
You look like you're about to get that positive opk so hopefully you've been BDing!

Pacific- Wow! How do you plan to move them? I've no idea so I don't want to start naming transportation methods and look stupid.

Thank you so much ladies, I've been a big cry baby the past few days it seems, but I'm glad you understand. They say it takes a village to raise a child, and you're my online village!

I've a doctors appointment tomorrow. I already booked it weeks before I found out I'm pregnant cause I was going to ask her to run blood tests to see if I've PCOS or whatever but I've no idea what I'll say tomorrow, oh hey turns out I don't need you after all? But I'm very badly due for my wellness exam as I haven't had once since my son was a newborn.

Odd question, do you ladies shave for your doctors!? I shaved my legs but I'm not really into shaving down there now... Don't think the doctor cares, not like she's buying me dinner
