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

Campn : Have you already had some blood work done? We recently relocated so trying to find a new doctor is proving difficult! And of course I am stressing about what could happen. May just have to go to a walk in clinic and ask that they do some. This is our first child so the whole process is very new to me!
 
We've been away all weekend having a romantic get away where I got spoiled rotten. It was an amazing birthday. I even won $265! Anywho I'm kinda bummed that my cm is super creamy and only watery for like a day with no temp spike which worries me that I may not ovulate again. I think my body is trying to it's just not happening.
 
:hi:Future
Sorry, I bowed out a few days and missed your intro:blush:

I am def going low stress this time...after 14 cycles I just don't have the mental energy to give the 110% I usually do.
-Gonna stick to only 2 opks....since they are always + cd12/13
-Should get donor cups cd12/13 as well...
-will temp to confirm as usual, but putting all my energy into getting a local pharm to order me in some Softcups...
I refuse to pay $45 for the only one locally on the shelf...Not gonna happen[-([-X

My endocrinologist had me do some labs since I have an autoimmune thyroid disorder that can cause me to miscarry. That's all.
The OB said she'll do labs around 6-7 weeks, plus a scan!

Unless you have a pre-existing condition that might threaten a pregnancy, most gyns prefer to see you for the first time between 8-10 weeks. I've never made it to my first prenatal, but the nurses say they will do some blood testing including std and an ultrasound.

I have high anxiety disorder so I just bitch and complain until I get what I want. Plus, I have a history of challenging pregnancies with early bleeding and cysts. Blood tests are far more labor intensive and expensive than an hpt so doctors will usually try to talk you out of them.

J, keeping my FXed crossed. What do you use to insem again? would donor be ok with you insemming right there in the car? I wonder if that 5-15 minute block might be the problem.

Camps, when is your first appointment?
 
This is what I do in my free time while SO is on a motorcycle ride

I think she is adorable lol I sant to do something similar when I fall
 
Dobs I'm sure he would be fine with me doing the insem in front of him :flasher:
But yea...NO I don't know him like that, and I live like 12 mins from him.
With insems the semen actually liquifies after 10-20 mins which allows the :spermy: to swim better- another of natures safeguards...so I wouldn't put it in in the car anyhoo...rather do the old laying down hips propped.

If I can get hold of a softcup I can add a bit of preseed to the cup and jam it up in there within 5 mins- all kinds of stores near.
Otherwise they will be fine in the cup for the drive.
You figure when men bring specimens for SA or insems to the clinic they usually say within 30mins-hour.:shrug:

I have a full sterile home insem kit, but sterile syringe works much easier.
 
She was very cute in the vid Dobs, but I am Sooo not in the mood watching those when I'm still trying to get a sticky bean lol.
I would likely do a colored cake as it fits my cooking biz and they have super cool colors now- neon pink ( which I won't be needing lol) and bright blue, even in pink and blue camo.
I wouldn't even do a reveal thing tho.
I always find out so I can pick my names, and we saw DS's boy parts sticking up at my 11wk5day scan. I wanna know first:brat:
Not to mention I wouldn't say anything until at least 16-20 wks.

Somehow missed this! Glad you had a fun getaway weekend!!! Hoping you do O and soon. :(

J, I hear you. I find it oddly helpful. Like a reminder that no matter how long it takes it will happen, and when it does that's how happy we'll be :). Did not know that about sperm. Can you get a softcup in stores nearby? Hopefully you don't end up needing it
 
Dob- I really want to do every single midwives tell I hear of once I get prego. Since we're team green (since we don't like yellow lol) it'll be so much fun guessing. I had never heard of that gender predict kit but I'll definantly be doing that. I also love watching videos like this. I start watching the vlogs about people journey to parenthood and it gives me the same calmness and hope.
 
Nope only one here local in stock is $45...not doin that.
I'll get with a private pharm or cvs nearby- they have it on the website for $16...just not in store.

Dobs :-k are you in the TWW hun?? Cuz your chart is nice and high!
 
Mrs- Sounds like a wonderful weekend, so glad you had so much fun and a relaxing non stress time, I'm sure that would help your cycle a lot too!

Dobs- I had an appointment on the 12th but all they did was a pap, I have another appointment on the 25th with a completely different practice, I really want to deliver at this hospital that has a NICU just in case and the first doctor I went to delivers at a hospital without a NICU. Maybe an even better hospital but I couldn't risk it, if the baby was born with any problem that required NICU the baby would be air lifted to the other hospital while I would have to stay behind until I get discharged and that would seriously kill me. I thought about it before we even started TTC and that is the decision that makes me feel at peace. Hopefully everything will be okay though!
 
I was just about to ask campn lol some user keeps posting weird threads surprised the mods haven't shut that down. I'm not about to click on any just to report it.

I am really sick though. My temp is only 99.24 but I feel feverish and congested and sore throat and miserable

Thank you Dobby! I thought I must have gotten hacked if I'm the only one who sees it and kept clearing my cookies and deleted my web history :P anxious much??

So sorry to hear you're still sick Dobby :( Are you taking it easy?
 
J, yeah $45 is crazy if you can get it for $15.

Campn, you have to do what makes you feel most at ease. Hopefully you will not need it though but better prepared and relaxed than playing the what if
 
Trying. I was feeling better enough to go out to breakfast with SO but then I just started sneezing uncontrollably and been a wreck since. Eyeballing the NyQuil. I don't even want to stay up to watch teen mom

Oh and greenie I see the gender kit at cvs/Walgreens/target whenever I am buying opks or hpts. Never tried it though. You have to be 10 weeks
