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

[campn]

Wookie- I envy your strength. I'd have tested 500 times already! I'm secretly hoping you get a BFP but I know you're torn between both, so I guess whatever it'll be will be destiny.

Gigs- I feel good about your next cycle! I gave myself 6 months before I thought about getting help from a doctor cause I'm the type that quickly runs to worst case scenario so give it a few more cycles! But I've already decided cycle #5 is yours!

Pacific- You're so bad ass! That owl is super pretty though, too bad he's naughty!

MrsG- I'm sure you'll ovulate hun! It's common to have an off cycle but it's also random so I don't believe it'll happen again. March couldn't come sooner! And 5 lbs are a lot! Go you!

AFM- exhaustion has really hit me, I told my doctor I'm always tired since I'm a mom at my appointment but now it's doubled. I took a 3 hours nap when my son napped and then let DH entertain him a bit. Thankfully DH has been super understanding! I did manage to make home made pizzas, which honestly takes all morning to make but so worth it.

Claire- I'm glad your appointment went good! It makes it so much real and definitely assuring when you hear all is going good!

Dobby and J- I hope you ladies are great! I hope your headache is gone Dobs!

 

[campn]

Texas- I knew I forgot someone! I'm so glad you ovulated! Are you on Clomid!? I hope this is your cycle and won't be long until you get cuddles from your own little baby!

 

[TexasRider]

Campn- No I'm not! My new OB ran bloodwork and it all came back ok so he gave me provera to kick starts cycle and he wanted me to chart to see what my body was doing or not doing. so I'm happy to see that I O'd without meds and hopefully this means there isn't anything "wrong"

 

[gigglebox]

Mrs! Omg 5 lbs is awesome! Well done! I told myself if i wasn't pregnant i'd get my ass in gear so i'm going to try and stick to that starting tuesday, when i get back into town.

Campn, do you have a good recipe for crust? I haven't found one. Also, i totally remember a couple weeks ago i was seeing double lines in my third eye, and i was serious! Specifically wondfo...i was thinking it was mine but turned out it was you so hopefully it's your turn to be right about me this cycle

 

[wookie130]

BFN tonight after a 3 hour hold.

If Sunday morning rolls around and I still don't have my period, I'll rest then, and then a week from then if AF still hasn't shown up. My boobs are KILLING me, and I'm kind of crampy, so perhaps AF will show up here in short order. We shall see! Thanks for hanging in there with me, and I'm praying that those who have been actively ttc get all of their BFP's within the next few cycles! I've been a member of this forum FOREVER, and have belonged to several ttc groups, and PAL/PARL groups, and advanced maternal age threads. I'm pleased to say that the vast majority of ladies I've made friends with on BnB HAVE gone on to get their much-desired bfp. I'm just throwing that out there, because it IS hard to get those bfn's month after month. I have been there, and I've been directly in the rat-race that is ttc, infertility, miscarriage, and then pregnancy after loss, and I definitely empathize with those of you who are feeling discouraged and drained by the process of trying to become pregnant. Best wishes and good luck to you all!

Gigs- this is the one I use, https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/bobby-flay/pizza-dough-recipe.html

Then I knead, rest, knead, rest for like an hour. I also like my crust thin and crispy so I cook it at 500 degrees and it takes no time at all!
I hate all fast food pizza places cause the crust and sauce aren't ever that great so home made pizza is such a treat!

And I know you'll get your BFP so soon and all of this will be behind you and you won't even care that it was stressful or took long! Now that I'm pregnant I forgot all about it, now my only worry is to just stay pregnant and have a healthy baby. Yours is so so near you know it deep inside!

Wook- Sorry about the bfn, even though you kinda wanted it, I know there's a part of you that's sad, even when we weren't trying after DS and had a few scares, I still got bummed to see a bfn.

 

[mrs.green2015]

Campn- I love making pizza but I have to admit I don't make the dough. I buy the premade fresh dough. It's in a bag and all you have to do it spread it out on the pan. It's sooooo good and less than $2.

Gig- glad you're jumping on the fitness boat! I honestly feel like if I get a sticky bean it'll stick no matter what. I'm tired of putting my life on hold for a hope.

Wookie- sorry about your bfn. I know you're really conflicted but it still hurts.


So i measured and I've lost a few inches already!! 1.5 on my hips

[claireybell]

Gig- sorry she's on her way in. Always is rough.

Pl- so excited for you!! That owl is so pretty. Glad he was caught safe.

Cb- any guy feelings on what you're having?

Afm- such a busy weekend planned and I'm so excited! I'm praying I ovulate this month and on time. Hubs is off Sunday and Monday. With cd 14 being Monday so.... Here's to hoping. Lol
With fitness I've lost about 5 pounds and I feel like I've lost some inches but I'll be measuring later.

Well done MrsG treat ye self to some babymaking lingerie hehee!

I think it'll be a boy again but heres hoping for a girl lol, il be thrilled either way, boys are very cuddly

 

[claireybell]

Esp in evenings & late afternoons, never had it first tri with Riley but i guess with lil ones running about we notice it more, keep taking ye pre natal vits for the Iron

[FutureMrs]

Hi guys! So I have been creeping this thread for a bit and need some help with lines, I can't tell if I am just imagining things on this test, anyone?

 

[campn]

Future- I see it! How many DPO are you?

 

[FutureMrs]

Thanks for looking Campn! To be honest I am not sure exactly, I am on CD 29 (I have even saying that because I know how much effort some of you are putting into getting your BFP). I am totally not symptomatic in any way I just expected to be spotting today for AF but nothing so thought I would test, to be honest I am a bit surprised by this so I am wondering if its just in my head or there's something wrong with the test!

Can't wait for your next test! Hope AF stays away!

 

[Breeaa]

Hey girls! Hopw you're all doing well!!! Im having a hard time keeping up lately.

Hope you all catch some this cycle.

 

[DobbyForever]

Future there is no mistaking that line. I can see it in the dark as a thumbnail on my phone lol. Congrats!

Headache turned into full blown cold. The misery is real. Been trying to keep up but can't

 

[wookie130]

Hi guys! So I have been creeping this thread for a bit and need some help with lines, I can't tell if I am just imagining things on this test, anyone?

I see SOMETHING...but I'm not sure if it's pink, or just a really nasty evap line. I would wait another 12-24 hours, and retest, and things should be a bit more visible/pink if it is indeed your bfp!

 

[FutureMrs]

Thanks ladies! I'll definitely be testing tomorrow so I will be posting! It's definitely hard to tell wookie but I guess I will have a better idea tomorrow morning! Let the wait begin

 

[DobbyForever]

Sooooo no judgement (or do) but for reasons that may or may not be rooted in the old saying ask for forgiveness not permission I might be 1dpo in tww hahahaha. I didn't think he would actually finish inside of me given he has been pulling out since the loss if we even have sex.

 

[TexasRider]

Hi ladies... Im freaking exhausted. My sis in law hd her shower today but due to her having contractions she had to stay close to her house and couldn't travel to her home town where I live and that's where the shower was going to be. So she moved it to her house which is 3 hours away. I just got back. She was very appreciative of everything and even bought me a bottle of nice wine as a thank you. No one came but family since it was short notice of the change of place but it was still nice.

As far as TTC goes my temp is still up so I'm very sure I ovulated. And I have a good chance with my Bd timing.

Dobby- no judging I think it's awesome and if it's meant to be it will be. I'm sorry you feel bad. I'm not feeling great myself...I'm hoping it doesn't get worse.
