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

[DobbyForever]

Welcome Tex saw you lurking and was hoping you would come out of the shadows

Campn, I don't shave. If I wear flats, my feet get smelly and sweaty. I just apologize beforehad and they never care lol. But I am sorry. I am not shsving for an appointment. I only shave for sex buaha

Hi Tex! Welcome that is devastating about the dog that's a fear of mine around here, living in the country...but our closest neigbors are more of a subdivision, and the lot next door is empty...so all i really have to worry about is the road :/

ANYWAY, your opk looks great! I'd definitely say you're about to ovulate ^_^ make sure you get in some just in case it doesn't get darker (some women can only get opk's to go so dark, but they DO ovulate)...not that i'm an opk master or anything...just a thought.

Real talk ladies....i'm about to go pee on a stick again. Waiting for hubs to leave the bedroom.

You know what i hate about periods? That our chat goes all quiet after someone gets theirs i mean, i'm totally guilty of it. I go ghost mode immediately after....it's like being benched during a game and watching other teammates play.

And here I was thinking I was all in stealth mode lol. But yes I will try to keep up with the conversation.

Giggle- I've been BDing EOD at this point but I may go to every day soon. I was kind of waiting for my +OPK or a peak on my fertility monitor to start every day though so we don't get burnt out. It's harder when you already have a kid to get it in! Haha

 

[gigglebox]

PL, if it were me regarding moving all the animals, i probably wouldn't. I'd probably stay and suck it up for the last few weeks (albeit reluctantly). But that's just a lot of unneccesary moving and adjusting and readjusting...but then, of course, you get to be back with your lover....so tough call.

Campn, i wouldn't bother shaving if you din't feel like it. Personally, i keep trim but that was for me and hubs, not the gyn (got myself a handheld mirror with a handle when i was pregnant and could no longer see it)

 

[campn]

Dobby- I'm always so happy when I see you post! I know you guys are still sick and not really ttcing but I miss you lady! I hope you're doing good

Gigs- Oh yes I def went ghost mode too whenever I got on my period cause I felt like I didn't even wanna be around my own self.

Ladies how do you know who is viewing the thread!? I've no idea!

Edit: oh it's all the way on the bottom. Feel pretty dumb now.

 

[gigglebox]

Lol! Don't feel dumb. It was about 3-4 years after initially signing up for this site that i discovered the "user cp" and found all my followed threads there. Up until that point i was going to each forum and doing a thread search lol

 

[DobbyForever]

Yeah, I ghost. I just can't emotionally handle it. I'm still battling the depression, and by the time I have the energy to catch up there's like 15 pages lol.

 

[campn]

Haha I signed up on here in 2011 and I still have no idea how some features work! Adding my chart took me at least 10-15 minutes

Dobby we understand hun, you don't have to post until you're ready so take your time and whenever you do post we'll celebrate it!

And I agree, I'm probably to blame for like 13 of those!

 

[gigglebox]

Indeed! Dobby posts bring me joy

Uggghhh xbox is updating and i can't test until hubs gets involved in a game. He must not know!

Holy crap, i just looked at my info there under my pic and saw i got on here Aug 2010! Omg! Scratch what i said earlier, it was 5 years until i discovered user cp lol

 

[RexMom2Be]

Hi Tex! Welcome! I'm new too, and love it.

Aw campn: that's tough, preggo or not!

Pacific: i agree with gigs, I'd wait it out. Tough as it is, if the animals were my income/lifestyle, I wouldn't risk it, that's a big move! Like you said, you don't want to do the back and forth. That's just my thought process though. How are you moving all of them? Stock trailers?

dobby: i agree! no shaving!

AFM: just after that last post, AF came full swing, loaded with cramps that made me shake, sweat, and nearly throw up. UGHHH!

BUT! I ordered OPKs, more ic, and pre-seed!

 

[campn]

Gigs- HAHA I bet you're feeling like you're committing a crime. I always hide the test in my pants, run to the bathroom and lock the door and my heart feels like it'll bust out my chest. Even your body knows you're being naughty!

Rex- Oh no that sounds like a bad first day! I mean they're all pretty awful but usually the first is the worst, that's when I hate everyone around me, and myself

 

[gigglebox]

Still negative

 

[campn]

Gigs- DONT let it bother you, you're still only 8-9 DPO which is so so early and the wondfos aren't as sensitive. I actually tested with a cheapie on 8 DPO and got squat. It can change overnight!

 

[JLM73]

Guilty...
Once the bitch arrives Its like all the air is let out of the joy of TTC for me
I have been trying to stay busy today and am still waiting to hear back from donor.
I offered to give him gas $ if he could do 2-3 donations this time, but not a peep back.
Can't blame him really...as i said before, I wouldn't want to keep meeting up for donations and the woman not get pregnant. Guys already don't understand our cycles, so I will just have to hope he agrees for a third time ...

Campn- VERY nice line progression!! Glad you have an appt so soon!

 

[gigglebox]

Any other prospects lined up J?

 

[campn]

I hope you hear back from him, really 2-3 times in 1 month isn't that much, it's not like he has to burn energy BD, it's like an arm workout
Offering gas money is pretty generous of you and understandable. I hope this is your last AF this year! Also I agree that you should buy the wondfo ovulation/pregnancy tests pack off amazon cause you get so much for little!

I still have a few tests so I'll keep testing every 2 days until I run out. I hate these first few weeks, they're scary and I'm very prone to being scared.

 

[TexasRider]

Awe J I know it stinks for the donor situation. I just hope it works out for you and you get more donations this go around. I feel the same way when AF shows up. Although actually this last time I was happy since she had last shown at freakin Halloween!!! I had to take provera to make her come so I was ready to get it over with.

My dear daughter is sick. Running fever and cupping her hand over her left ear. So I'm pretty sure it's an ear infection. I had to take the day off tomorrow so I can take her to the doctor. It's hard to call in when you are a teacher. You have to get sub work all lined out and find a sub. Luckily we have an automated system now that does it. But coming up with busy work that requires litte to no explanation is tough...

 

[DobbyForever]

Tex, I feel your pain! I'm a teacher, too. People do not understand how much work goes into sub plans and prep assuming you get a sub in the first place. Then, you stress all day checking texts and emails praying nothing hit the fan.

 

[JLM73]

4 am and I am wide awake...as if AF wasn't bad enough...my new insur policy is not in effect yet, so I am without sleep meds
