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

[JLM73]

Mrs G that's how it was when I went to Portugal with my mom for the first time to meet her fam
I was in awe, but no one else cared. I thought it was awesome!
My ex hub ( who I swear is in the closet) literally LEFT the room every time I went to feed our son?!?!
I was always discreet and fed in the car before entering restaurants and stores etc, but he was SOOOO very embarassed by it.
I really look forward to breastfeeding again without feeling like a lepper!
It's such an awesome thing! I mean your body literally customizes your milk to match the needs of the baby through all stages!!
I always cover up tho as there literally is a whole society of fetish men into BFing!

MrsG- I saw this video today! Drove me so mad! I know there was this politician who said if he sees an uncovered boob he's free to go and grab it. He better not try and pee in public then!

I never breastfed without a cover cause I don't want the staring but I'm with any woman who chooses to do whatever she thinks is right as long as she's not hurting her baby or anyone. Also breastfeeding with a cover is Impossible. I had a cover that I barely used cause first it'd cover my newborn's face and that worried me about his breathing, and when he got older he'd grab it and yank it away.

I never thought I'd love breastfeeding as much as I did. I breastfed my son for 18 months but really would like to go for longer this time, but my inlaws constant rude comments made me stop.

I saw that video, too! It didn't make me mad because I already knew where it was going/ the sociologist in me finds social experiments like that interesting. I also wasn't convinced it wasn't staged. Some of them were really awkward/ you need consent to film those kinds of things. Idk. BUT I laughed hard when the one guy just straight up said "that's not sexy" as his justification. Very Trump.

As much as I would love to BF in privacy because I do think it is intimate, and I'm not worried about offended anybody. I just think you get lost in your baby, and it's such a special moment. I don't want to do it in public. It's like making love. I don't want to do it in the middle of the restaurant. Well, I'll think about it. But I don't actually want to lol. Not sure if I'm making sense.

BUT the day someone says something about me BF. If they think I'm bad, so help them SO isn't with me. I love-hate his Alpha man.

 

[campn]

Dobby- I do feel like it was also staged, but I think these things happen so often that it needs drastic change. I know a lady got kicked out of target for breastfeeding there, the manager kicked her out! So whatever gets more attention to the cause really.

I agree breasteding is very intimate, it was our special relaxing time and I never wanted it rushed, I tried to feed my son right before we leave the house, only time I had to feed him "live" was on the plane while traveling to Egypt cause he's gotta eat! I sat next to an old German man who was super sweet and never stared, in fact he proped himself to cover me from other travelers and played with my son doing the whole flight.

It's so sad it's 2016 and some men act worse than kids.

 

[DobbyForever]

Men are just giant children. Which is kind of a knock on children lol

 

[mrs.green2015]

Men are absolutely children! I couldn't agree more with that statement. Lol.

 

[campn]

Your temperature is still up! Do you think you ovulated now!?

 

[mrs.green2015]

I don't. It's really not up its kind of Normal

 

[JLM73]

Morning ladies....
Having my new morning drink...half Cuban coffee, half hot chocolate.
DS thinks his has coffee in it too
Glad my temp is staying level as I still have no Rx sleep meds - waiting on insur still
and for some reason TMI...I am noticing before O I keep getn "the Trots" as my aunt used to say. Had to run to the bathroom like 4 times from 4am-6am
Puking I can handle...the other end...NOT amused
Hopefully it's done, as I really haven't eaten anything new

 

[gigglebox]

Oy ladies, i can't keep up recently!
Is so damn cold here and we're in for our first winter storm of the year on Friday. Last I checked, they're calling for a foot of snow

Re: breastfeeding...i think we already had this conversation, but i'd personally cover up, but agree that it's a personal preference thing and i don't really care how anyone else chooses to do it. I just hope I can actually breastfeed this time :/

I hate that i'm alone on the tww in this group...i've un-synced with everyone. So when i'm at the end of the wait and starting a new cycle, it's all quiet and i'm having a pity party lol

Looks like everyone is in the tww or O is imminent right now! Who is in the tww and what dpo are you ladies?

 

[JLM73]

Ahh Gigsey
I actually am usually the off person of the group. I shouldn't O till Saturday, and won't know for sure the donor doesn't back out until Fri morn
So I am def not counting myself in until I pick up a cup o goo...
Where are you in your cycle? I bailed a few days so I lost track, but last I recall you said you may have O'd later than you thought and therefore be much earlier dpo?
Are you still testing?

 

[JLM73]

I always forget something.
FIRST- I allllways Bfeed right before going into stores restaurants etc ( in the car covered up)
BFing is a natural, healthy beautiful thing BUT there are zillions of pervy ass men that hang out at playareas parks etc and take pics of women BFing to post online.
TRUST me google them and you will see, and I have NO plan to be exposed online feeding my child so pervs can play with themselves over it.
HUGE alt lifestyle into watching women BF and buying and playing with Bmilk, and even BFing grown men.
BE CAREFUL!
Campn you and those Avatar pics lol. Even being silly you look beautiful in them.

Our temps in central FL have been low 40's, so wish I had a greenhouse so for now I have to cover my pepper plants- they are still very tender.

Hey all. It's definitely chilly here but no snow yet. Not even a threat of a winter storm. Just cold yucky rain.

On the TTC front I am 9 DPO and had a pretty significant dip yesterday and then a huge rise today. I hope it stays up! I'm gonna try to wait till Monday (day before AF) or Tuesday(AF day) to test. Unless my temp is still high then all bets are off haha.

 

[campn]

Jlm- So true! I've heard stories of guys doing this, but really taking a picture of my breast without my permission? He'd be lucky to run away before I break his phone!
And thank you! I always make the worst faces to make DS laugh, he's got such a poker face sometimes.

It's been so cold here! It's actually nice and I wish it started much earlier, but it's making me so tired.

I need to try that half coffee and half chocolate. How come I've never done that!? I'm not sure if I mentioned this so forgive me if I did, but I almost gagged drinking my coffee yesterday, I love coffee and it's the only way I can get moving and looks like this baby isn't a fan!

Honestly this looks like an implantation dip and rise. I'm tightly crossing everything for you!

 

[gigglebox]

Tex, that looks really promising!

J, that's so gross about the ooglers. I mean, fetishes don't bother me. It's the invasion of privacy by snapping photos that bugs me out.

J, i'm only cd6. Another 8 days minimum, up to 2 weeks until O. No opk's this cycle.

 

[mrs.green2015]

Texas- looking great! Can't wait to see your test.

 

[TexasRider]

Thanks yall 😄 im trying really really hard to not get excited about it but it does look good right now. I just want it to stay up! Lol

 

[JLM73]

me again...
Just wanted to share a "The Joys of kids story..."
I personally LOVE the very young baby stages, when they are all squishy and just starting to watch things and smile when they see you...
Now a reminder why I don't care for the4-6 yr stage when it's Why...Why...Why all day, and when they do some dumba$$ sh*t...

I was changing DS out of his PJs and into reg clothes. We are standing in my walk in closet. The door is always open so as I am telling him to stop spanking his own butt...he literally only pulled his pj pants down enough to moon me while he found it quite funny to spank his butt at me???
Then I sternly said Stop playing around and change your pants!
He then smiles and says there's poop on your door
I am like No there isn't.
He keeps smiling and says its on the back of your door!
I move the door enough to look behind it, and am still confused.
He then points to an itsy bitsy speck of a spot that is dark brown and slightly smudged.
I figured hair dye, my nail polish from who knows when
He is still smiling ( he's in the boy stage where he likes to try and shock me and makes up things just to start the Yea huh, Nuh uh, yea huh thing.)
So I say why do you think that's poop??
He then says -Cuz I went in here and got it out and then put it there- then laughs.
I then VERY seriously said That is not funny! Did you really do that??
And he said Yea...I did.

OMFG! WTH?? I then told him that is gross and disgusting and you know better than to ever EVER touch poop, and if you do it again I WILL spank your butt!
He still wasn't too concerned and seemed quite amused with himself....
Bleach wipes to the rescue.
I have always said type of discipline depends on the child....
He is definitely heading the way his VERY hard headed older bro was...
Me thinks he may have a swat on the butt in his future....since he has yet to have one, he seems to think it won't happen....
Grrr

 

[campn]

J- OH MY! How old was he when he said this!? I swear boys can be so gross and that's why when I knew DS was a boy my heart stopped. Even the cleanest ones do the most disgusting things. My DS played with dog poo and smeared it all over the walls, floors, furniture, himself and almost put it on my face. All of this cause I sat on the couch for 2 minutes while the dog had an accident.

Lord help us.
