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

[mrs.green2015]

Gig- I really think this is your month! I think it's just too early.

Campn- the answer to that is idk. Lol I kind of assumed we would try next month but I asked hubs earlier and he said "well you said a couple months so in a couple months" so it's sounding like March. I know hubs is just really not feeling it anymore.

 

[JLM73]

Yea, I can see very faint lines on them, but the frer6ds in 30 mins will tell me if they are real or not lol.
That will be a 4 hr hold, with nothing to drink at all.

Campn I think you should put her on the spot and just say outright-"what's wrong? You don't seem happy at all that I'm pregnant"
Then she will either tell you why, or perhaps she doesn't realize you can read her so well, and will apologize ( which she should) and hopefully will learn to keep her envy in check.

 

[JLM73]

Gigawatt I see what looks like a faint pink 2nd line on your bottom test!

I think if you want to try sooner definitely talk to him about it, I thought about skipping months to put my due date far from summer but I thought what if those months is when I could have gotten pregnant!?

 

[JLM73]

Frer6ds
AF due tomoro....ugh
Regular lighting

Bright LED light

I spotlighted the 2nd to show there is no pink line
The first pic "line" is the same test strip line everyone hates on new frers

 

[gigglebox]

J, i am on my shitastic phone and can't properly see...have to check back later to comment, but i hope you are wrong!!!

Campn, was it you who asked if i had any symptoms? Yes, just like campn with her clear skin, my "tell" is a general disinterest in food.

Seriously ladies...no willpower. I'm on my way to pick up more frer's even though i have 2. But i think my kmart has the old ones...except they are stupid expensive

 

[claireybell]

Gigs will you be Frer'ing tomorrow fmu or smu?? i have a very good feeling this cycle for you hehee!!

Ah J sorry the Frers are neg still really am holding out hope that your period does not arrive tomorrow

MrsG you should def chat with hubbard & say you wouldnt mind moving up the ttc date! NTNP is still kind of trying so if it happens, greatness all around hes probably feeling very bummed about what happened still.. Maybe the NTNP is a less stressful way of trying for him?

 

[campn]

J- I don't see lines on those hun, but I assume you didn't hold your pee or it was just diluted? Hopefully AF stays away. Are you gonna use the same donor if this one doesn't work?

Gigs- I'm with Claire, I think this is your cycle! I need a due date buddy!

 

[JLM73]

Campn I did a strict 4 hour hold, my urine was SUPERconcentrated, so it def should have shown something- frer6ds def

On donor not sure- likely will use the same one if he's willing to give a 3rd try

 

[gigglebox]

Bummer J hope it still changes for you! I really thought you had it

My appetite is coming back i think not a good sign. I did end up getting old style frer's, so i'll use one of those in the am

Mrs, just pounce your hubby during your fertile window. Maybe he doesn't want the pressure of knowing he's trying for a baby?

 

[JLM73]

Thx Gig...hope so too, but odds are against me now
MrsG I second what Gigs said- JUMP him lol.

 

[mrs.green2015]

Lol it's impossible to jump him because he gets home AF 330am! If I ovulate cd 14 it'll be next Monday and I'll have all weekend to get some...

J- so sorry but hoping it turns around for you!

 

[gigglebox]

Well then, hope you have a sex-a-thon next weekend!

J, don't know what to say

 

[campn]

J- so sorry but hoping it turns around for you!

I'm pretty sure you can talk him into it, honestly it doesn't take much conviction once you're all naked all is fair in love and war! I think he may be just stressed out about TTC, cause who isn't!? So maybe just tell him we'll try but it's okay if it doesn't work, we'll not sweat it out.

 

[campn]

J- I'm sorry too hun, I really saw lines on all the tests except the last ones, but really FMU is the best to use very early on. See if AF shows tomorrow and if it doesn't test again.

 

[RexMom2Be]

Aww campn: if your sister is jealous, that's on her, not on you. She has to deal with how she's acting and none of it your fault. Your younger sister is so wise!

Mrs: I hope what the other ladies said works, and the NTNP can be HIS method, while you are full-on trying behind the scenes

J: I have the opposite of line eye and never see anything, but I agree that FMU is best, hopefully AF stays away and you get something conclusive tomorrow!

Gigs:
I'm still holding out hope for you!

AFM: looks like AF hit this morning, and a day early!!! Ordering OPKs tomorrow and started temping again. Went golfing this morning and my man is making a feast with some friends tonight, so I'm distracted enough to feel OK. Now for the wait to O! Argh!

 

[gigglebox]

Uggghh wait to O is the worst! Glad that you at least have some silver linings going on there

I'm starting to get a little discouraged, only because i was feeling hungry tonight and my boobs still hurt, as they usually do

I wish there was some way to know how long ttc would take. Like, if someone told me, "you will get pregnant in 11 months", i think the wait would be so much more tolerable. It's all the guessing and the waiting and the unknown that is so challenging to my soul, man.

 

[RexMom2Be]

Seriously! Then you could plan it all so much better. 11 months to plan a shower, get the necessities, load up on pregnancy books and Doctor research and all the goodies.

 

[campn]

Rex- So sorry about AF hun, first day is def the hardest so I'm glad yours wasn't too bad. Whenever I got my period I kept thinking "on to the next one!" That really helped motivate me. Now come on egg!


Gigs- Omg I was just thinking the exact thing, if someone told me I'd have been calmer and more optimistic about it all, just like now, I wish I could see the future and see if this pregnancy will be a happy and healthy one or not. I am pretty confident you'll get a BFP super soon though.

 

[JLM73]

Rex Sorry the bitch showed up....

I always use FMU, but generally as long as I have cheapies I test 12 hrs apart.
Was really hoping the lines on the cheapies this morning meant something, but no way they show faint and frer6ds can't pick it up too, as it is MUCH more sensitive.
I will do a cheapie each morn until AF.
Honestly tho- I did EVERYthing as perfect as could be this cycle!
I even broke down and bought PreSeed- which I def didn't have the $ for at that time. Stood on my head nearly lol for an hour!!!
temp confirmed O so no idea what I could do diff
