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

[mrs.green2015]

J- jeez you went through a lot with the first hub. Plus the second and then the boyfriend!

Gig- I love your business idea!

 

[JLM73]

Oooh Gig that is a REALLY good idea!!! You need to follow up on that biz!!
I make very hot sauces with Portuguese peppers but specialize in sweet and hot. I started out selling my own art work and Portuguese Pastries at the local Fresh and Farmers Markets on weekends.

Focusing on some things with dried fruit that can be prepackaged so I am not stuck in the kitchen 8 hrs a day and packing and labeling until 1 am ugh.

I want something I can have stocked up so I'm free from cooking and prepping most weeks.

[claireybell]

OMG where are you allll???
I forgot to tell what happened at walmart! So I go to get the frers, and I can't get to them because an OLD man, I mean like 90, is blocking the hpts. SO I patiently wait as he peruses the shelf...Then he TOTALLY picks up a bottle of WARMING LUBE!!!!
I think surely he is confused and thinks it's a massage oil for his sore old bones...
Guess who starts looking thru the CONDOMS!?
Omg I legit reached past him and grabbed the cheapest frers and kept going
LMAO Go Viagra!!

HAHAHAAAAA!!! But hey, hope i still get the vibe at 90 lol! Eeew warming lube gag

Ah, you did mention the sauces but i didn't realize it was a business! How cool!

And Mrs, J, thanks for the encouragement about my idea it'll probably never happen now since i'd need a good chunk of money to do it. Plus, i don't know sh!t about coffee doesn't matter though, the duck business is now my baby...even though my hub's name is on it for tax purposes. But i also want to turn part of our property into a beautiful garden that could be used for weddings, so that's another goal...a venue, or perhaps just a place to rent out for couple to take photos or whatever.

I'm waiting for the frer! I'm having trouble with those photos, but i know i saw lines in the others.

Sl, my signature...there's a long thread on here somewhere that i was updating as i was pregnant with Des. At our 12 week scan, the measurement on his neck was quite large (the nuchal translucency scan, or NT scan). He was diagnosed with a cystic hygroma and given basically no chance of survival from the doctor that day, who told me to call my ob/gyn to schedule a termination. There's a lot more to thise story, but in a nut shell i saw a maternal fetal medicine dr and genetics dr who said he had a 15% chance of survival. I decided to let nature take its course and if i was going to miscarry, i'd let it happen on its own. Well, all his in utero issue resolved and he's totally fine.

So i just went onto Fertility Friend (first time) & they have an App!! Awesome!! I can chart my temps yay, i was actually going on there to print off a chart like last time when i fell pg! Just got myself a digi thermomette hehe sad right Lol

Yay! I need to do that. I'm loosely tracking things on a 2016 calendar because i printed out the wrong one lol

 

[claireybell]

Ah i never knew that about your lil Des Giggs, strong lil trooper that one! I agree, sometimes its best to let nature decide on somethings!

Yes, the FF app is free, tricky to get hang of i thought but you update cycle details on the calender section along the bottom & then it appears on the Chart section hehe! I'l be excited to see my first temp line tomorrow morning ha ha!

Afm not alot going dooooooown! Rileys at preschool today, im sat having a coffee whilst the builders are laying bricks in garden for our extension part of kitchen hehe its bloomin huuuge! More space for me to clean lol

 

[claireybell]

Also, ive worked out that if i fall pg this cycle, baby will be due on or just before Rileys birthday.. 9th July Not great planning... Ha ha!

 

[mrs.green2015]

Against my better judgement I tested this morning and it's a big fat BFN.

 

[claireybell]

Is that test a sensitive one Mrs G? I picked up one once that said sensitive & early result & it was 20miu??!! Thats not sensitive! Your not out yet as af not here still X

 

[DobbyForever]

FF app is amazing. I absolutely love it. I used ovia, too. Just because they give you a fertile score. It sucks at automatically pinpointing O but they added a manual thing.

J, due 6/2. Is that still Gemini? Must be. My twin brothers are gems and they are last week of may babies.

My hcg doubling 5x and then some in a week . I should feel like death. Idk why my body is handling this so well. Shrugs.

Honestly, if it's twins one boy and one girl would make it easier. I'm having one boy at the end of this. It's non negotiable. But I hate the idea of a selective reduction because I am very spiritual, and I do believe in that twin connection.

Escrow opens today!!!

 

[mrs.green2015]

CB it's 20 miu. I get it from the docs office... I may take them every time I go in...

Dobby- yay congrats! Happening so fast.

 

[gigglebox]

As you know mrs, its still too early! Especially for crappy non sensitive tests.
