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

[claireybell]

J, you have Twins also?? Go team frer hehe!

I forget that everyone uses diff phrases & meanings Lol but il be heading my BFP title "OMG i have fallen" hahaa!

Pacific, are you cycles usually regular? Mine never have been which is why i reckon il struggle to get team pink but hey ho..

 

[claireybell]

Forgot to mention...last night while "scooping out" all that chunky cm before bed lol yes...I totally do, so I don't feel wet all night ( it's back by a.m.)
Anyhoo..On the first scoop out, the cm was still really bright white, and thick as heack in chinks BUT there was a thin BLACK threadlike piece in it...it stretched a bit but def black- about 2" long?? I am wondering if that is from implant bleed.
If so, blood that dark is like a day old, and looking at my chart...that would be 7dpo, where I had that mini dip!
Bad thing is that means no bfp likely till tomoro

Ohhhhh you mucus scooper you HAHA!!!

Is it actually black or like reddy black blood colour? Did it squidge away when you squished it? Lol, it wasnt black fluff or anything i guess im asking..

Wait til tomorrow morning for the frer il check in from my work pc to see any pics hehee

Claire I was a gestational surrogate in 2009 and had twin girls for a couple.
Not my dna...I just "baked the bread in my oven" for them lol.

 

[JLM73]

No was like a black thread, but def old blood, not dark red or brown, but black. That is very old blood ( it was like a super thin ling clot)
So I'm thinking that matches being from the day before, which would have been 7dpo where I had the mini dip.
Trust me this cm is SOO thick it does not leak out at all, so no way I would have seen that blood on TP if I hadn't scooped it out hehe

 

[mrs.green2015]

J- great news for you! Can't wait until tomorrow so see a line!

Afm- not much going on except cm had turned less lotion like and more clear, maybe a little watery. Also getting my pre-period feeling with boobs feeling weird (I get every month a week before my period) and my period is due in a week. So I'm feeling a lot like I'm out of the game this month. Which mean I have two more months to go or here we come infertility specialist. Ugh!

 

[claireybell]

wow! Thats such a nice thing to do for somebody, go you J

Hahaaa yes tp wouldve definately squished that black line away!!

 

[claireybell]

Very early pg symptoms are like period symptoms though so ye never know Mrs G)

Still keeping fx'd for you

 

[gigglebox]

Mrs g, how long have you been ttc?

J, you are cracking me up with you ttc bus! F it, i'll just get on and make sweet, sweet love to the driver if I have to!

It's pouring rain again *sigh* i love, love love overcast but the rain bums me out...mostly because we can't go to playgrounds. That said, we took a stroll in the sprinkles and worked out in the rain anyway for about 45 minutes. Des was soaked and loved it lol

J, you're totally preggers again! Can't wait to see a darker line. I wanna line spot with you! Test with sooommmmething puhleeeese

 

[mrs.green2015]

Actively Ttc- this is out 7th month. Before that I was on BCP for 3 months. And before that we were ntnp for about 6 months. The doc wanted to send us last month but I said give it 3 more months because it's not fully covered by insurance.

 

[pacificlove]

Lol Pacific.
So do ducks and chickens lay eggs EVERY day, or is it every couple days, so you need more to ensure eggs daily?
I peed on a cheapie but there isn't anything darker than last nights which is so faint I can barely see it

Takes about 25 hours for an egg from start to finish...
Interesting about your cm, fx to you!! Someone around here needs to get pregnant again.. Judging by the last cycle I have 2 weeks to go until o.

J, you have Twins also?? Go team frer hehe!

I forget that everyone uses diff phrases & meanings Lol but il be heading my BFP title "OMG i have fallen" hahaa!

Pacific, are you cycles usually regular? Mine never have been which is why i reckon il struggle to get team pink but hey ho..

fairly regular, usually 28-30. By day 31 I'd say I am late which is what my body did to me this last cycle.. ugh!

 

[claireybell]

Mother nature hey Pacific, likes to twist it up! Pffft!!!

My cycles are anythung from 28 -32 uhhh!!

Gigs - make sweet love?! LOL! I can say ttc is never making love for me hahaa! But hell yes, hop on that baby making bus & dont get off until the driver throws u off

Took us around 5-6 months to get our son, which seemed like forever & i feel your pain hun, how are you tracking ovulation, opks, temps? Or bd'ing all the way through ))

 

[mrs.green2015]

CB- BDing all the way through. Especially these last two months pretty consistently every other day used OPKs for a few months but decided not to this month to try and relax a bit. Thinking about temping but not sure if I want the added pressure.

 

[JLM73]

MrsG I agree af like sympts are also preBFP sympts FX!!
Temping def adds a bit of stress, but you could always just do it to the point O is confirmed

Yay Giggle!! Jump the driver Jump the driverrr!!
I was gonna say - rainy days perfect for ducks and little boys! My son stomps in EVERY puddle he sees...no matter how muddy sigh
Sorry no playgrounds...maybe build a "fort" inside with some sheets and chairs?
My son loves stuff like that lol.
I'm holding now to see what I can see

 

[mrs.green2015]

Gig- I agree build a fort. So much fun for you both! Lol it's finally starting to get chilly here in Cali and I can't wait for rain!

Thanks J and CB I'm trying to stay positive but just feeling really down today...

 

[mrs.green2015]

Hey one more question ladies!

What's your diet like? Are you eating normally? Or have you reduced your intake of "risk foods" that you shouldn't be eating once you're pregnant? And what about caffeine? My two favorite things in life (besides my husband lol) are sushi and coffee...

 

[gigglebox]

Taking a prenatal, but my eating's been crap...only for the last week though, since i hurt my back. Before that i was eating healthy. I haven't worried about the "no no foods" during pregnancy. Truth is, i probably won't worry about it if i do "fall" i was so paranoid last time and I missed out on the thing i was craving the absolute most--smoked salmon.

 

[pacificlove]

So far I am eating normal. I should probably switch to a prenatal vitamin but only take folic acid at this point.

It's cute what you guys call chilly outside, LOL.

DH and I are entering our 3rd month, first month was kind of a "yeah lets see what happens" and he still pulled out, LOL. Last month we might have over done it, we bd'd every day for over 10 days we'll see what happens this month. Maybe lucky cycle #3. 3 is a lucky number, right?

I feel like I should set some duck eggs in the incubator, 28 days and voila there are more babies! (I won't, not good to raise baby animals at -30C.) but you know, point is, it's a lot quicker in it's reward.

 

[pacificlove]

Mother nature hey Pacific, likes to twist it up! Pffft!!!

My cycles are anythung from 28 -32 uhhh!!

Gigs - make sweet love?! LOL! I can say ttc is never making love for me hahaa! But hell yes, hop on that baby making bus & dont get off until the driver throws u off

So we should o and poas around the same time, hey buddy!

 

[gigglebox]

Yeah, those ducklings probably wouldn't appreciate the winter too much...
I'd like to incubate some eggies eventually, but we don't have the equipment yet. Hoping i'll just get a broody duck instead, but not very likely...anyway, we need to see if we can even sell the dang eggs before we worry about adding more to the flock.

4 eggs average out of 51 layers....how sad pL, when do you think i can expect more to lay? They're 24ish weeks old, except my two buffs which are 6 months older.
