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

[DobbyForever]

Awww Tex, sorry the house fixing has to wait a bit. Hopefully you can get a better interest rate so y'all can look at the house stuff sooner. Glad he got his truck though. One thing at a time.

I have never used this film lol. Heard of it. Our sex ed in health was comprehensive.

P+P+Z looks and sounds so r_r They are really getting lazy over there in Hollywood. If I lose my teaching job, I'm going to go into screenwriting. SO has a BA in English and I have all the ideas, so we can power couple it. Buahaha

I started spotted. I posted about it. I just want one person to say NO HOPE so I can drink some wine. It's been such a long ass day.

 

[campn]

I dunno Dobby, your temp is still really high! It's so hard to say no hope when its that high. Drink till it turns pink!??

 

[DobbyForever]

RIGHT I am so confused >< I might just pour a champagne fluke of rose and call it a day. I just have so much stress, and i spent all afternoon walking my nieces around the Disney store. My auntie was saying, "When are you going to make your mom a grandmother? You have the man. The house. When are you having a baby? You need to have a baby now." And my niece saw me looking at the CUTEST Tigger onesie (my nickname growing up was Tigger), and she asked if I was buying it for her baby sister. When I said no, she asked if I was going to have a baby. UGH The cramps are picking up. I'm sure my temp will plummet tomorrow.

Yay sweet peas

Sorry to budge in with more annoying questions on my weird scan, but from what we COULD see it was 1 gestational sac and 1 yolk sac.

So I'm crossing out faternal twins, but what about identical? But wouldn't there be 2 yolk sacs? Just googling my hcg levels everyone keeps saying its gotta be twins, like don't say cruel things like that!

I hate google so much, also I'm convinced that BnB is the best most informed ttc and pregnancy forum cause some of those forums that come up when I google things have the dumbest women on there.
One comment on some post said "Don't get stressed cause your tiny baby could fall out!"

Ahhhhhh. Wheres the alcohol!?

 

[campn]

Awe drink away Dobby! I'm so sorry about today. I learned never ask or hint when someone will have a baby cause you just really never know what they're going through. Sadly I used to ask too before I realized this is a very loaded question.

BUY the onesies! And so sweet of you to take your niece out like that, you're totally a mom already!

 

[DobbyForever]

I had high hcg with a single. Like two weeks ahead #s. I would have to check my notes. But what I noticed was my two Suspected/confirmed twin pregnancies my hcg tripled in 48 hours whereas my singleton missed doubling by that much in 48. But that's just my observations from three pregnancies. My first preg my hcg was only 100something week 5ish but was doubling. I would think there should be two yolks if identical twins

 

[mrs.green2015]

So sorry dobby! Conversations like like hit us right in the heart. I truly am sorry. Hugs.

Campn- no idea. lol but I didn't want to ignore you. Also omg! Lol!!! Don't stress your baby could fall out!!! That might be one of the craziest Ttc thing I've heard.


Afm- we got pizza for dinner and I one slice and salad... When I normally could eat like 6 slices!

 

[DobbyForever]

Omg Campn I just finished reading the fall out haha sorry.

Greenie I will totally eat the other five I am STARVING but my feet hurt too much to stand and cook

 

[campn]

Thank you ladies!

Jlm got me thinking about the twin theory! First thing I asked the u/s tech was IT'S just ONE right??
Hopefully I'll hear good news soon, just trying to prepare myself now.


Greenie- YAY hun! That's a really something! I notice whenever I eat healthier I get fuller sooner cause I guess my intestines shrunk in size.

Dobby- So did you have that champagne yet!?

 

[gigglebox]

Dobs, grab a drink. It won't do any harm if you've "fallen", and if not you're going to regret not drinking....so go for it.
Tex, was this the same truck you previously mentioned? The one he was taking you to look at? What needs to be done with the house?

Campn, fear not! Those number vary so much, there's no amount of googling that will give you an answer. It's like the tww...just have to wait it out.

Also, i totally agree about b&b having intelligent women. There isn't that much cattiness (unless the subject is controversial), and there is a lot of support...and thought out answers, and experience...and even research, sometimes. And above all....nOT a hOle Lot uv dis crAp.

I understand type-o's happen (i have them constantly since i'm on a tablet--also is why i rarely appropriately capitalize letters) but the sentence structure on this forum is pleasing to my english language loving soul.

 

[mrs.green2015]

Yes! I can't stand that typing gig! I agree typos happen as I'm sure most of us are on mobile devices but wow I remember when that used to be cool and everyone typed like that! Drove me insane!!

 

[TexasRider]

Giggle- it's a 4 door 09 GMC Sierra. It's really nice and only has 76,000 miles which is really good. He honestly probably should have waited till we found about the house but it's too late now. Our house needs foundation work to the tune of $17k and we wanted to do some renovation stuff. I'm supposed to get an estimate on the renovation and then go see my loan officer to see what he can do.The worst he can tell me is no and we have to wait a few years. And now he's got a truck that can carry car seats with no issues

LOL I am happy to have twins- wanted to since i was younger.
Just think they have cool bond things.

I already knew I was preg using 10miu IC's and got the faint line eve of 9dpo.
My first beta was reg-high range ( they vary ALOT) so we were hoping at least twins as the couple wanted 2 kids ultimately.
You can't really go by betas tho as ppl with faster metabs or slower metabs or who implanted later than when you suspect bla bla changes everything.
I got my 2nd beta 2 days after the first and it like quadrupled
We put in 3 embys so we started out thinking 1 stuck ...2 days later we thought OMG all 3 implanted lol.
I was bummed as no chance of vag delivery with triplets here.
few days later betas slowed alot- so we thought hmm maybe we lost one the next week my numbers were high enough to be quads again LOL.
So we were like ARGGGHH all 3 stuck AND one split!!!.
(happened to a surro I know lol)
Well we got a vag scan then and the doc quickly scanned around and said Nope just two.
There was not even a thickened area where a 3rd may have started implant- and TRUST me fert specialist have HELLA sensitive scanners!
So it was just 2 the whole time.

BTW Identicals can have separate sacs (safer) or share a sac. That's more risky as one can tangle the other's cord as they grow.
On the other hand we saw ALOT of babies in L&D born with 1 or even 2 knots in the cord and delivered no prob lol -little acrobats I guess.

Oh anyhoo my point Campn was don't worry unless they give you something to worry about. Hell at my 32wk scans ( and I got them every 2 wks being OLD lol)
They told me my son was measuiring small. He is now the tallest 5 yr old around, and super frickin smart.

Keep forgetting my point.
Meant to say they will be able to look around for multiples much easier now a days compared to back in 2009, and THEN my doc's US machine was sensitive enough he would ZOOM in to measure the lining thickness- and showed me how it MOVES!!!
Freakiest thing. You expect it to be like just cushiony layers built up, but he could measure blood flow etc but the weirdest thing is the lining of our uterus' MOVES!!
Like constant WAVES on the surface - like the ocean!!

J, I love all your medical expertise.

Gigs, agreed about BnB. It's such a great community. Not sure why the other are so snarky. I'm the queen of typos because A- I never proofread and B- I am almost always on my phone and sometimes in bed in the dark haha

I did not get the wine. I have a meeting at 7:10am which means I need to be at work to prep by like 6:30. So exhausted so crawled into bed. Besides, even if I re-cork the wine I can't touch it again until Frifay night next week since I have plans out of house and it will lose its crispness.

 

[pacificlove]

Too bad about the no wine dobs... Hopefully you'll get to enjoy some during the week.

J, love the medical talk!

I am on my phone now for a while so hopefully not too many typos or sentences that don't make sense... You can always blame English being my second language. Ha-ha if i can still use that excuse after 12 ish years.

As for me, still no stock trailer today. Tomorrow is the last day where I could get it where it doesn't delay my drive out. Also if I don't drive out Saturday I'll miss out on spending a night with dh before he goes back to work. His work is 1 1/2 hours away so he will not drive to the new home at night.
This has been so frustrating and stressful.

I am fluent in typo, so I rarely pay attn to them, but you made me laugh with this typo Dobaliscious...I immed thought Fri-fray for some reason, and got an image of you Kickin ass in some "fray" at the bar on a Friday
NOO idea why, but apparently I think in typo as well

 

[pacificlove]

1130 and sleep eludes me. It never does but my mind can't stop thinking about packing, moving, unpacking, the drives, seeing dh again... Not necessarily in that order..

Oh yeah and occasionally my mind thinks of ttc and where we will be during o next month.. Together or not...

 

[claireybell]
