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

[campn]

Well this was 9 DPO, possibly 10 DPO if I ovulated the day of my positive opk.

So ladies last night I went into our garage (Florida garage, so plenty of critters, yuck!) and went through some boxes we never went through since we moved here 2 years ago looking for my pregnancy book (mayo clinic guide to pregnancy) which I LOVED. Looked through 3 boxes and nothing, then I found a book that had a pen in it and I was like oh I want that pen, opened it and there was an alive cockroach running in there. I threw the book on the floor and ran as fast as possible inside, shut the door and locked it!


I ordered the book online again but a used one since it was only $5 vs new for $15

Gigs something is catching my eye as well

 

[claireybell]

Pahahaha that made me lol Campn! But eeeeew cockroach eeesh!!!

I been reading my massive Babycentre book of pregnancy this afternoon, i cant wait to breast feed, felt a bit hormonal reading up on everything again, labour still terrifying me Lol

Ladies, I'm pretty mad at my big sister, she has been living in the US for 6 months with her 2 year old, while her husband is still in Egypt trying to get his paperwork done so he could join them, she's stressed and I get it, but when I told her and my little sister I'm pregnant she said "congrats" and hasn't talked to me since, while my little sister (also newly pregnant) seems so happy for me,

When my big sister got pregnant I was over the moon for her, I was with her during her delivery, kept taking her back and forth to doctors (I still do), she stayed at my house for 5 months, used all DS's clothes, bottles, my clothes... just everything I was there 100% every step of the way fully supportive.

I told DH and he said she's probably upset cause she doesn't know when she can have her next baby with her husband in another country, and I totally get that, I really would feel the same, but she's been really mean about it.

I just feel so frustrated. Also few months ago she bickered with me and said well see you can't even get pregnant and that I probably won't and this really hurt. She's been living part time with me, and part time with my little sister and I feel so relieved when she isn't here since she demands we drive her wherever whatever time she wants, and her daughter bit my son so many times that she broke skin, and I know KIDS fight, but I can't deal with the constant stress of yelling at both kids while she's on her phone.

Rant over.

My cm changed from creamy to watery with my bfp! 1 frer with smu J!!! Come on!!!

 

[mrs.green2015]

So sorry Campn! I hate arguing with family especially when something like that happens. My sister does that kind of stuff too. Hopefully she was just having a rough day and she'll come around.

 

[JLM73]

I'm starting a hold now so won't POA frer until 4 hr mark

Campn That was an awful thing she said to you!
She should be happy for you, especially all that you have done to help her!
If nothing else, she should be happy she will have a niece/nephew on the way
Sorry

 

[gigglebox]

Ugh, sorry campn. I had some infertile women say some rude things to me whilst preggers, so i'm guessing she's envious. I had another friend with fertility issues basically roll her eyes when i was upset i was'nt pregnant yet, and another friend who went through a m/c give me birtually no sympathy when i had my c/p. Making babies is such a touchy topic...i understand it, but i would never be so rude, i don't think...it's uncalled for.

Shit i just noticed my air plant is seriously drying up. My green thumb is more of a brown thumb...

So, dpo wise, i'm more of 7-8 dpo, i THINK. I'll test again in the morning, no more today.

 

[campn]

Thank you so much ladies for letting me vent, it just really shocked me cause I expected more from her, being my big sister and all.

Infertility sucks, I wouldn't wish it on anyone and I see how it can really change you, when my little sister was going through it I asked her how she copes when she sees women around her falling pregnant all the time, and she said maybe they're struggling with things I never had to struggle with before so I don't feel angry or envious, we all struggle but in different ways.

 

[wookie130]

It's tough.
I was very much traumatized by my recurrent miscarriages and stint with infertility. I was in counseling to help me cope with pregnancy all around me, and really, the only thing that truly helped me was having my first rainbow baby after my losses. It was a very dark and desperate time for me, for sure.

Giggle, I am not a great visual analyzer of the pee sticks! Lol! I don't want to say something, and have it be due to a case of line eye...

 

[gigglebox]

Wow, that's very true and poignant.

 

[mrs.green2015]

I love what your younger sister said! That's so true and I'm going to remember that from now on. I will say that having a mc affects everyone differently or changes them and I can totally see how it would make someone snappy. Try not to hold that one against her.

 

[campn]

My younger sister had 2 miscarriages but she's been so supportive to me all along and now too, my big sister never had any problems conceiving luckily and she's the one who doesn't seem too excited for me,

She has her reasons of course, and I'm trying to understand but it makes me a little sad honestly.

 

[claireybell]

I can see some fainties on those Dry tests J bring on the next Frer hehe!

 

[claireybell]

Sorry about your Sister Campn, she was probably having an 'off' day & didnt mean how bluntly she said it.. Maybe a lil envious perhsps, my younger sister is abit like that, i didnt get a Congrats from her until 4 days after i told her?! Really hurt me but then she apologized saying she had work stuff on blah blah..

 

[campn]

Jlm- I also see a line on the first signal on the second picture. Do you see it??

 

[gigglebox]

NO WILLPOWER. I know I'm going to be completely bamboozled this cycle but I really feel like I'm pregnant:/ tests are negative though. Bottom one is from this afternoon.

 

[gigglebox]

J, seeing it on the bottommost test

 

[campn]

Gigs- I see it on both tests, it looks like a start of something! You having any symptoms??


Mrs- When do you start ttcing again hun? Can't wait for you to get your turn!
