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

[FutureMrs]

Mrs green have you ordered them? Wondering if they work well the price is so good it seems to good to be true lol!

 

[campn]

I got my positives at 2 pm sharp, or late at night around 10. 4 hours hold works pretty good and I tested at least twice a day. First morning urine doesn't work, so second or third urine is what I used.

Good luck Greenie!!!

 

[FutureMrs]

Campn you would recommend them then? We're kind of on hold because we're getting married in Mexico at the end of April and I'm a little hesitant to be Prego there now.. But I'd still like to track to make sure I am ovulation and just because I'm obsessive lol.

 

[campn]

Future- Oh yes definitely! I used the clearblue ones but you only got 20 sticks for like $30 so that was ridiculous! Wondfos were awesome.

 

[mrs.green2015]

I got mine yesterday! 50 opks and 20 hpts for $25! Can't wait to start using them.

I'm also getting lingerie I ordered in the mail today! Can't wait to see it when I get home. I was supper impressed. I ordered it on Saturday and with regular shipping I'm getting it today. Plus I got two outfits, a pair of fishnets and a pair of underwear for $22!
Shopping online is my new favorite thing. Lol

 

[FutureMrs]

Omg that's even better then what I found. The Canadian dollar is such a bitch right now lol

 

[FutureMrs]

Thanks campn! I will definitely be ordering some!

Uh la la mamacita!!! Your DH won't even know what hit him! I've a drawer full of lingerie as in Egyptian culture when you get married your mom takes you lingerie shopping and she filled mine to the brim! When we moved from Chicago to Orlando we had packers come pack our entire house, oh the things they must have seen!

 

[mrs.green2015]

Campn- packers! You lucky lady you. I wish we were doing that when we move but no such luck.

 

[campn]

I know I was so glad cause my son wasn't even 18 months then! DH got very lucky and got a great relocation package from his new employer. They even paid our realtor and our closing costs!

 

[mommyhopeful2]

Making him edge? What do you mean by that?

Now I'm wondering what kind of aggressive situations you're into

Edging is when i get him to the brink of orgasm and then stop then start again... never really letting him finish. Not so much into aggressive but I am a Submissive, and he has a very dominant personality, but is very hesitant to explore that side even though I can tell he wants to. I think he is worried about me leaving him because the last girlfriend that I know of he told her what he wanted in that aspect and she ran for the hills.

 

[mommyhopeful2]

Mh2- my DH was shy about fantasies. He was always down for trying new things when I suggested but I always wanted to know what HE wants. So I started buying lingerie and sexy outfits. I think me trying new things helped him get out of his comfort zone. Anyway I buy 2-3 outfits at a time and then will randomly surprise him. It's fun and pretty cheap.

I love getting stuff but I am currently on a supreme weight loss journey and my size changes every 10 lbs which right now is almost every 2-3 weeks. Im really worried about ordering something and then having it be way too big and thus less attractive by the time it actually gets shipped to me. But I will def keep that in mind when Im closer to my goal weight.

Hello Chickadees
Just giving the medical info for the day lol
WHO(World Health Org) has officially declared Zika a Global threat, and many cases have been reported here and South America.

No where could I find that it is transferable from human to human BUT per CDC page and other Med journal Blogs "the virus is not usually transmitted from person to person" Note the "CYA" phrasing

This virus has been around for decades (since 1947) but of course they mutate over time- which is how they have noticed the danger of it for "Pregnant women, AND women trying to conceive"
So PLEASE all my lovelies- USE insect repellant if you are out at dusk/dawn/night.
When you get the virus it just feels like a mild cold but CAN be transmitted to your baby AND if you get infected BEFOR BFP, it CAN be passed to your baby once you conceive.
There is NO cure and once infected it is in your system always. Though your symptoms pass easily ( rest and stay hydrated) you will have immunity after that, but ANY preg afterward can infect the baby!!
PLEASE be careful I you all!

This is so terrifying! I wanted to be active this pregnancy and take lots of walks but now I'm super scared, even covering up completely and using repellent they can still get tiny corners on your face!

Is it a threat for the entire pregnancy, or the first trimester?

 

[JLM73]

Entire preg- cuz once infected it's in your blood and goes to baby.
Placenta barrier doesn't stop it.
They are even asking women in high risk area ( lost of mosquitos) to put OFF TTC for a year or two
No can do for me- and being in FL - Mosquitos are the state bird lol.
I keep a can of Off spray by the door, and another in the car.
Always have,
Mosquitos get infectewd by biting someone who has it. From their they can transmit it to the next person they bite ( because they inject their saliva when they bite to prevent clotting while they feed) - prob they can transmit it to their larva
If so then every baby they have will be a carrier eek

 

[mrs.green2015]

It looks like we don't have too much to worry about in the U.S just keep using bug spray and I think you'll be fine. "No locally transmitted Zika cases have been reported in re continental United States, but cases have been reported in returning travelers"

https://www.cdc.gov/zika/geo/

 

[campn]

I know they're basically as common as air! I'm already very allergic to mosquito bites. Now I wish I lived in Alaska where mosquitos wouldn't survive the cold!

I really hope they're just overreacting and it's not going to be an epidemic cause I'm sure I'll be bitten by a mosquito this year!

 

[gigglebox]

Ugh that's terrifying! But since it affects baby's development, how does it matter once they've formed vital organs/skeletal structure? That stuff gives me such bad anxiety...my guess is they'll probably up the spraying of them in high density areas.

Hope, thanks for teaching me new terminology! Congrats on your weight loss. I really need to get back to doing that...how much have you lost and what's your goal?

Mrs, how are you doing with the weight loss?

 

[mrs.green2015]

I'm doing good! Been off track last week. But getting back on. I definitely feel better and more fit so I'm happy.
