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

[gigglebox]

Cb, i just literally lol'ed. I was on my phone, i was using swype and tried to swipe the word, "insurance", didn't see it said toe until now, and i'm cracking up.

Hi panda! Looks like you and wookie are sharing a boat this cycle.

Where is everyone in their cycles?

 

[TexasRider]

Giggle I am pretty sure I ovulated this month... Need a few more temps to confirm but my Bd looks decently timed. I should have BD on Sunday and maybe last night too but im in with a chance. Especially since FF thinks I Od Monday if I get 1 more high temp. Looking back I had like 2 days of spotting that may have actually been AF before I marked cd 1 as AF. if that's the case then I would have Od on CD 14...which is "normal" Lord please let it be! At this point a BFP would be good but a regular cycle would be Awesome!!!

Dobby, I finally got the clearblue advanced test and it said "pregnant 2-3"
I was really expecting 1-2 since I'm only 15 DPO, I hope it's not twins!


I texted the test pic to my husband and he was like "2-3 what!? Kids!?? Woman get your eggs to go one at a time!!"

I can't stop laughing, he's probably about to cry now thinking I'm having triplets.

OMG I laughed so hard. I needed that. Shitty day. Sorry everyone else, not catching up. My head hurts so much. Just look at it as closer to 2 than 3. Or.... go get a beta hahaha. I have had both pregnancies with high hcg and single and high hcg and twins. The twins doubled every 30 hours whereas my singleton was high but just less than doubled every 48.

Popping in to say: gigs, don't give up yet! It's still early.

Claire: how ya feeling?

Mrs: sorry about the house- hopefully this happened to get you to the house that's meant for you!

AFM: still dealing with the witch. Crazy busy at work. Thank you all for posting so I have something to read when I need a break!!

 

[wookie130]

Can i ask honestly though, when did everyone here get their first positive?

With my daughter, not until 13 dpo, but I'll admit that I hadn't tested until that point, so I'm not sure how early I could have gotten that BFP.

With my son, I got a fairly visible (but still pretty faint line) on a blue dye test at 9 dpo...I didn't trust it since it was a blue dye test, so I tested the next morning with an FRER, and it was positive.

 

[gigglebox]

Good luck to you tex.

Heads up...there's a good chance i'll be going into ghost/lurker mode soon. You know, like ya do.

Glad it made you laugh, I should start writing down all the mind boggling things hubby will say these coming few months. Sorry about your head Dobs, I hope that persistent sickness goes away so you can catch a break

 

[DobbyForever]

Well talking to my mom made me realize I haven't eaten since ... Lunch yesterday and I slept 6 hours when I need 9. I'll be fine once so brings me dinner

 

[JLM73]

[gigglebox]

J, at least we can be sad together? Tell us more about how things with SO are going! And how long until DS can take the test again?

 

[campn]

Dobby- Goodness get something to eat ASAP and sleep! That's no way to recover, your health must be priority also girl! Hope SO brings something yummy.

J- I hope you get your business rolling around soon, financial stress is a big thing to deal with on your own, but you can do it!
DH failed his driving test TWICE cause he ran red lights, talligated and a bunch of other horrible things because he thought it was an indycar race apparently! Sorry you're gonna have to drive him around for longer, but it's probably the last weeks you'll even see him around, once he gets his license he'll be out all the time!

 

[mrs.green2015]

Hello ladies.

Sorry gig! Big hugs.

Campn the 2-3 things made me lol too!

Afm- I've been so busy all week I don't even know how I've had time to breath. Especially today. And wwwhhhhyyyyy won't these cramps go away?!? It's been like 3 weeks on and off. I just can't anymore. Ya know those days you're just grumpy and you have no reason? You actually have reason to be happy but you're grumpy? Ya that's me right now. lol think I need to go to bed.

 

[claireybell]

Hi ladies

Just under an hr to my first midwife apt eee! Hope they do the heartbeat as with Riley she didnt but i was less weeks so fingers crossed

Hope your feeling better today Dobby

Gigs, anymore frer testings???

Looking after my nephew the last 2 hrs, hes 18months & mega grumpy & wont nap, you kinda forget what its like when they get much older, all this to come again haha

 

[gigglebox]

Morning all.

Mrs, i think i'm in that state, too. We just got up but i'm already counting down the hours until Des' (maybe) nap time so i can rest a little and eat my favorite chocolate that i bought yesterday (however i've had no appetite for it, so we'll see) and watch extreme homes and dream about a house i'll probably never own.

To answer your question cb, i took one last FRER this morning. At first there was that shadow line and i wasn't even excited about it, i just instantly got pissed off. Imjust walked away for a few minutes and when i came back it was faded.

I'm done testing this cycle. Af should be here saturday, just in time for my trip out of town to surprise my dad for his birthday.

 

[campn]

MrsG- Oh yeah I know what you're talking about, really women have so many hormones prego or non prego that are always playing us without our attention! The week is almost over so that is awesome.

Claire- So so exciting hun! I hope you get to hear it! Did you get a scan yet?

Gigs- My life exactly. Every morning I'm sitting on the couch grumpy with a three year old who demands to watch monster trucks at 8 am... He watches it ALL the time. I love him to death but there's only so many monster trucks I can handle. When is nap time!? Come on already.

So there's something on your test??

 

[gigglebox]

No nothing on my test. There was a faint line while developing but it went away at about 4-5 minutes or so.

Des goes through tv obsessions too, lol. He picks one show or movie and just wants to watch is on repeat. Earlier this week it was Tangled...now it's old donald duck episodes.

 

[mrs.green2015]

Gigs- sorry. Big hugs! I absolutely hate testing.

That's so funn about your boys. My husband is that way.... lol and we watch the WORST shows! Like monster trucks or fishing.

 

[wookie130]

Bah, I just got AF. For the second time this week, I'm missing work, due to feeling like total crap on a stick...I think I may be on the verge of getting what my baby son had earlier in the week with the pukies, poopies, and general nastiness.

I'm not as sad as I thought I'd be that I got my period. I nearly bought some FRER's last night, and planned to take them over the weekend, but something stopped me...perhaps my intuition spoke to me, and persuaded me to wait on it. I still have baby fever do an extent, but I am also relieved that I'm not pregnant. Physically, it could actually kill me, due to the windows/thin areas in my uterus that nearly ruptured during my pregnancy with my son.

Honestly, I don't think the desire for another pregnancy stems for the actual desire for another child. I think it's actually the desire to relive the baby days, and perhaps just feel all of the wonder and anticipation, and that yearning to fall in love with a newborn all over again. It's selfish, really, because as I've learned, the baby days are short, and bringing another kid into the family would most definitely strain us financially, leave our current kids with less attention, time, space, etc. It's nothing more than whimsy, and I truly need to come to terms with the baby days being over, and that we should not bring a third child into the mix. I guess it will take time, and there is a grieving process that goes along with it.

But, it's for the best, and I realize that.

 

[gigglebox]

Mrs, boy and their shows, eh? Though my hubs is more of a gamer...not much on tv but HUGE on games.

Wookie, having children is such a tricky thing. The constant fight between logic and emotions is not an easy one. When you had your second, did you treat it as though it was your last pregnancy? Maybe try to look back on that experience.
