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

[campn]

Gigs- Oh I didn't know! Why was it 15% chance!? I'm honestly a big believer of miracles now. I saw so much horrible things that could have happened but were somehow avoided!

Sorry your dog is feeling sick, but at least he's stable! These pets can be so resilient though so have hope that they'll make it much longer than you think! My aunts cat had lung cancer and they told her she's got 2 months left and she went down to 4 lbs! She's still doing great a year and half later!

Claire- That's a great number then! I was just reading at 6 weeks anything from 80-100 is good enough! It's comforting to know it's a little higher.

I'm just glad it's just ONE baby! Hahaha. That was a legitimate fear of mine.

 

[TexasRider]

Yay campn! Congrats on a heartbeat!!

 

[claireybell]

Ahh & youve got another ticker aswell i only get 8 lines in my signature & everything i have in mine is filled up now boo!!

MrsG yay for officially ttc

Gigs, my friends lil boy is 4yrs old in just a matter of days & hes only just started talking properly (other than odd words or grunts etc) these past 2-3 months, went to speech therapy the lot but did nothing, few months into preschool & his speech started coming out, Des will be fine hun, little people take everything at their own pace

Dobs def seek other medical advice, some Drs are just plain shit!! Excuse the bluntness! I went to Dr with awful tummy pain that went to right ovary area, he fobbed me off with 'well take some painkillers' wtf?! Hes crap & i never let Riley see him, anyways, after pestering & having blood tests, my infection rate on bloods was off the charts & i was admitted was ruptured ovarian cyst! Def not saying this is what you have hun but just goes to show that some medical professionals are rubbish & shouldnt be Drs if they not fussed to investigate that bit further for their patients esp if your paying via Insurance!

I called my old office but they haven't called back. Advice nurse said they are booked. It hurts

Campn the scan looks good! Cute little bean!

Gigs hugs get some rest. Nothing wrong with a you day

 

[campn]

Dobby- if the pain gets worse I'd head to the ER room, it's not worth taking a risk cause your doctor is a dumbass. I swear some of them think they're gods.

Claire- I feel like stalking the baby now, like "ok ok what you up to!? Growing some eyes!? Oh that's nice!"

 

[DobbyForever]

I'm in the waiting room with my non dumbass doctor who saw me with my ovarian cyst. I miss this facility. Sigh.

Gigs, also sorry about your dog's health stuff. That's always scary, stressful, and expensive. Happy his levels are stabilizing though

 

[DobbyForever]

Omg so many kids and pregnant women today wtf like I know I am in a gyn's office but it is usually crickets in here lol.

 

[campn]

Dobby- When I went for th scan on Monday and saw no baby and then went outside to the waiting room I felt like the amount of pregnant women with huge bellies quadrupled! I was a little jealous.

 

[DobbyForever]

All my lady bits are perfectly perfect. Uterus looks good, follicles a-follicularing in my ovaries which are cyst and fluid free

 

[mrs.green2015]

Did she say why you were in pain

 

[gigglebox]

How extremely strange Dobs. Did she have any theory as to why you had all the pain and bleeding?

Campn, he had a bad 12 week scan (fluid behind his neck that extended to his rump) and i was referred to a genetic specialist and maternal fetal meds doctors who said, given his scans, he either had a chromosomal abnormality or a major heart condition that may require surgery. He had a 15% chance of being a "normal", healthy baby. I was so scared my whole pregnancy, and when he was born i was freaking out that his nipples were too far apart (a sign of noonan's syndrome). See what i mean? Everything's worst case with me. The nurse was like, "he looks totally normal!" Calming me down haha

 

[JLM73]

Grrrr just lost my whole post.....

Anyhow DobDob so glad you are A-ok, and that you went to a CARING doc to make sure.

I worked with Docs for years and yesss they all think they are Gods, and OMG how they talk about patients being annoying, stupid and whiny

I was always like Um excuse me Dr JackAss? Yea.... I realize you have a Harvard certified degree in "Idon'tGiveAnF-ology" but here's a hot cup of STFU for ya...Now go take it over to the corner...sit your ass down, and SIP IT

I'm pretty sure earning an MD sure as hell doesn't allow you to FEEL what the patient does, nor is pain constant. Mmmhmm, it comes and goes. If it DIDN'T then that would be everyday par for the course grrrr.

You know you all will miss my long posts bumping up the page count when I'm gone one day

Last story-
2 yrs ago. My mom the ret. RN told me on the ph that she stood up, got a shooting pain lower mid stomach and a HUGE bulge popped out!
Me being a medic - ARGGH! Hernia!! ER nowwww!
She refused- so I went over and picked her up.
She being a nurse grrr- PUSHED the bulge back in.
ER 101- if they can't see it - you are making it up lol.

Anyhoo- Super doc comes in LOOKS at her stomach, tells her to cough, NOT ONCE did he put hands on her to feel for it as he should.
He says -I don't think so, but lets get a CT scan
Common sense=if it's not sticking out-it won't show on the scan!
Scan-nothing found=Doc says your fine go home.
Mom bitched alllll the way home in the car that I was wrong...
She goes for follow up 2 days later with a diff doc. I worked with this doc in the past, and he's #1 surgeon here.
I relay the story. He agrees CT scan while laying down wouldn't show it.
Pressed into her belly, said "cough" and so Ohhh yea. Definitely a hernia, and it's a really big one.
It literally was where her 1973 c sect scar was! They used to cut vertical then.
I was like THANK YOU for not making me the crazy one.
She had surgery, and was told it was even bigger than it felt once they got in there
So yea....There def is a need for 2nd opinions on big things

 

[JLM73]

Just wanted to mention something re hpt results...
Lost7 who is now preggers- is a poas queen, for reals
so she got her bfp this time on 9dpo, first beta was 12 dpo and was 228!!!
Reason I mention testing is she uses and ARRAY of test types, and she had the following:
FRER6ds Great lines
CB blue dye but def bfp
and even got Pregnant 1-2 weeks on CB
well what interested me is her ICs
When Frer was boldly obvious as was clear blue, the ICs BARELY showed a second line!?!
She's testing daily of course to watch progress after 9 losses but sooo many ladies count on those ICs to be sensitive and by them by the hundreds!!

Especially on her 13dpo pics the ICs are very faint!! while all other are as dark as or past the controls?!? I am def skipping the wonfos- great price but WTH??

(btw I'm not posting her pics here out of respect for her wishes)
I just think if they are gonna sell these test as "sensitive" and have women banking on them - ugh- they def are not more sensitive than even the CB blue dye- kinda shady

 

[campn]

Dobby- So so relieved for you! How is your pain now??

Gigs- He ended up perfectly healthy right!?? I did this NT scan too but kinda wish I didn't since it ended up so expensive and scary for no reason at all. Also even giving you chances of syndromes that they've no idea if they'll even be present at birth so what does that leave you with!? I'm probably skipping it this time.

Jlm- that's so scary! Also c-sections back then was a serious surgery. Really patients are the ones paying your paycheck every month so don't you dare complain cause you gave us 5 minutes of your time. I've been watching House lately and totally convinced doctors suck now. But he's cute!


DS (Benjamin) is feeling the love tonight! I love those rare cuddles I get every now and then now.

 

[campn]

Jlm- I saw her tests! The lines don't really get that dark on the IC, but it's still not bad really for the price and quantity you get! I got a super faint but there line at 9 DPO! Also she could have a not so great batch, I've dipped two tests at once and one got darker than the other!

If you're a POAS IC are probably a life saver!

 

[gigglebox]

Awww Ben is so adorable! Yeah, i had the cvs test (like the amino but done earlier) and that was traumatic. But yeah, he's fine except for his language delay, and he had undescended testicles that had to be surgically corrected when he was 1, but neither of those issues had to do with the bad NT scan.

J, i completely forgot to comment--you're selling the house?! What happened with your son that he apologized??? I need deets!

 

[campn]

Was that test so scary?? I know that amino is pretty terrifying.

Des sounds completely perfect! And he's SO INCREDIBLY handsome! His speech will improve, although boys don't talk as much as girls so don't expect too much

 

[JLM73]

Yea my general opinion having had both is boys seem to get everything slower

Campn OMG he is soooo fricking CUTE!!! and those EYES!!!

Gig Basically I can NOT stand lying scheming back stabbing ppl and my mother is the QUEEN of it- plays victim for everything NEVER says sorry bla bla
Well she told me ystrdy my son would text when he was off work so I knew when to get him.
He hadn't said a word to me all week- kissing my moms ass cuz she agreed to help him buy a car ( she is not above bribing to get ppl on her side)

Anyhow- his job closes at 10...10 pm - no call no text, so I text him saying Hey...do you need a ride cuz Gmom said you were gonna let me know??

He text back that he had been waiting for me to get there, and never told her anything about texting or calling....sooo now that he was the victim of one of her lies lol, he thanked me many times for coming to get him
No matter how sh*#y they are to me- I always do what I am supposed to as a mom/daughter.

I joked with my friend With all these knives in my back no wonder I can't sleep at night! I can't LAY DOWN!

Yea mom has been saying she wants to move from here. Prob is all the stuff packed in closets, garage attic furniture etc are mine, so I need to move FIRST That way I can clean carpets touch up paint etc.
My main gripe was that I lost 30k I put into my last house bcuz she begged me to let the ex have it in the divorce so we could move in together.
I need that money to get the next place, a van for deliveries again, etc to get my biz back up.
So she is yet again dangling a carrot to entice me to help her sell the house so we can part ways...I'll believe it when I see it...she always YANKS her carrots away lol

 

[gigglebox]

Well, maybe get it in writing? Haha...not sure she'll be amiable about that....but yeah, you def need money and that would be a tremendous help! Business start up is such a whore! J, we may have to do some bartering...duck eggs for your baked goods. They sound scrumptious!

SO, LADIES...in an ironic twist of events...

The situation that happened in my very first post has happened again tonight lol

But we haven't gotten pregnant in 4 cycles of actively trying so i sincerely doubt anything will come from tonight's shenanigans...but oh man, wouldn't that be ironic if it did!

 

[campn]

Jlm- Wow I can't believe she talked you out of 30K! That's so much money to just give away. I'm so sorry you have to deal with that, she doesn't sound all that motherly and you on the other hand sound like the complete opposite. I'm glad you went and got your son anyway, he's still a priority more so than your mom.
