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

[Breeaa]

Campn, you've got a blueberry now!!!!!

Wow things are going fast. When Ttc it seemed like things were taking forever and now time is flying by. At this rate we won't be ready for the baby to com when it's time.

Nice cup J! Lol Hope it works out this time.

Flueky, hi! Welcome!

Gigs, I'm sure he will love daycare! I was so nervous putting DS into preschool this year but hearing him talk about his friends makes me happy.

As for circumsicion, my DS is. I thought it best at the time. Insurance wouldn't cover it and if done in the hospital it would've been 2,000$ according to my dr. We had it done in my other Drs office for 200 after his pediatrician recommended going there. He was like 6 days old. They gave him a topical anesthetic and it didn't work. He screamed through the entire thing. He screamed for two days straight, he would stop nursing just to cry in pain. It was traumatizing for both DH and myself. I can not put my baby through that again. Watching how it was done made me want to barf and I regret it to this day. What was perfect before looked so strange afterwards. He healed but I didn't. I would give anything to go back and walk out of the office if I could. Needless to say if this is a boy he won't be cut. He was made perfectly and I'll keep him that way. I'm getting anxiety just thinking of it.

I just try to advise anybody who plans to get it done to really research it, I didn't.

 

[campn]

Thank you ladies! It's definitely going by fast and now that I've done this before I'm more anxious cause I know all about the work that needs to be done! We've to buy a few things this time as some expired/broke and I'm already dreading the changes that will happen to my body, not in a shallow way but like my back pain, my swollen feet and fingers, inability to sleep, heartburn, frequent urination AND giving birth!

It's all worth it though!

Bree- My son also would constantly cry and wouldn't nurse from the pain and I told his pediatrician I think he's in pain and she brushed it off like I was crazy. What babies can't feel pain? If I could go back I'd also leave it like it is. It may look cuter without the skin but are genitals ever cute!? Hehe.

J- 6 zika cases reported in Florida!? None are pregnant but wow this is spreading so much faster than they predicted! We need a vaccine or something fast. I'm not going outside.

Those were bitten outside of the States! They just returned home sick.

Good thing I have no plans on going on a trip outside of the country... I went to Mexico in September though... But I doubt I picked up Zika without knowing it and can pss it on now lol.

 

[campn]

Tex- You're probably safe hun! It's all south of North America so Mexico was probably safe in September. But this sucks so much really, isn't pregnancy hard and stressful enough!?

 

[TexasRider]

Haha yes it is... Especially since I haven't actually succeeded in getting pregnant since I started trying

 

[campn]

How long has it been hun? Have you and your DH gotten any tests done?

 

[TexasRider]

Not long really. I got my Iud out at the end of June. I have an almost 4 year old that we conceived on our second month trying. So this time it's been a little longer but if you take out October -December it's only been 5 cycles. I say take those out cause my cycle went crazy. I had 2 short ones and then a super long one. Last month was only 25 days but I did O. I'm taking 100 mg b6 to help lengthen my LP since it was only 10 days. My OB tested my thyroid and for PCOS and it was normal.

Oh you were lucky like us! We conceived DS on the first month so this time has been challenging but sounds like you're just fine! Just not as lucky but still within normal range, really every cycle is 25% if everything is perfect and that's not that high considering all that could go wrong!

Yeah short LP could be problematic, maybe try a progesterone cram? It may stop your period for a few days.

What an awful night for me girls. My sweet baby (kitten) went missing. We tore through the whole house looking for her and checked the garage. She wasn't anywhere to be found. We walked and drove around in the dark looking for almost an hour. We finally gave up for the night worried about her getting eaten by coyotes or owls.

I broke down when we got back. I checked one more time outside in the backyard, then in the front. I went into the garage and called her name in my most pitiful wheeping voice. Then I heard a super faint meow and started bawling like a baby. She was stuck behind a wood board in the garage. The kids asked why I was crying, I guess they don't understand the happy cry yet. I snuggled her until she escaped and now I can go to bed and sleep knowing she is safe.

 

[Flueky88]

Texas, hope your LP is longer and you get your bfp.

Green, have fun

Brea, hello and so sorry to hear about the kitty causing so much stress. I'm glad she is okay though.

 

[gigglebox]

Ow ow Mrs! GET SOME! *inappropriate whistling*

Bre, sorry your kitty stressed you out! I've gone through those emotions before when my dog got out...except finding him was a mix of relief and anger lol

J, nice ttc kit there! I had to laugh imagining you in the baby items isle looking around thinking, "hmm, what will fit in my vagina?" Hahahahhaha sounds a bit perverse that way lmao

Anywho, maybe this is the winning combo! I hope so, and a perfectly healthy juicy egg is all lined up for release. Who are the donors this time? I know you said there are 2 but did you say who?

I know riiight!?! So scary!
We have ALOT of cruises in and out, so I expected it
What scared me MORE was they are now saying some cases appear to be transferred from "intimate contact" with an infected person.
WTF is that??? So now I have to worry my donors may be infected???

Gigs lol I was totally like that in both the baby aisle AND the cooking aisle.

 

[JLM73]

MrsG Awesome plan
Sexy lingerie and a plan- you are gonna be so preggers!

 

[gigglebox]

you dodged my donor question! who are they?
