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

[Flueky88]

Thanks for the hello, gigs! I hope your appt goes well today. How are your ducks? Did they like snow from Jonas?

Campn, I never watched sex and the city. As far as NYC goes, I don't like it. The culture there is a bit brash and I don't like big cities. Small town for me hope your ms gets better

Greenie, wow that's a great deal on lingerie! Also, happy your DH is on the ttc bus.

OMG THIRD retype, and stupid me copied the last in case it didn't send, but restarted computer without saving grrrr

will retype when back

 

[gigglebox]

Awww Tex, don't feel bad about it! I was a total makeout slut in high school. I lost count. It was....not a proud time in my life...but our choices shape who we are and who we're now with, so nothing to regret

Flueky, thanks for asking about the duckies! They were fine with the snow and spent a great amount of time just standing out in it. However, they were locked in their duck run all week because we couldn't get the door open to let them out into the pasture (snow was tood deep and the cold was making the doors stick). They were not so happy about that....but now it's mostly melted and they're back to happily waddling around in the yard again.

Ok so now that you know about us, you have to divulge a little info on yourself!

PL, did you move this week?

Have shrinky tonight...hoping it goes well. I hate having expectations for conversations though, since they rarely go in the direction you anticipate.

I also have des' last meeting with the school before he starts his speech therapy. Additionally, i'm looking again at daycare to put him in just for a couple hours a week. I really think the interaction with other kiddos will be beneficial.

BUT, all this has me nerved up really considering smoking again. I won't, but man, i want to.

 

[mrs.green2015]

Gig- i think childcare for a few hours a week is great for kids.

 

[claireybell]

Des will LOVE childcare interaction Gigs

 

[claireybell]

Hope the apt this eve goes well aswell Gigs, will you be going alone or is SO in attendance too?

Oh i forgot to comment on the wondfos--i like them, however i have no idea how they work since mine have always been (accurately) negative. They have pretty favorable reviews though. Seems the gen con is they're great for early detection, but not progression.

Ya know, i don't even bother with remakes of anything anymore. They just can't hold a flame to the original. I tried with sound of music live but....it's just not the same. And you can't help but compare! It's the same dang story!

Again, dobs, love how wholesome you look but naughty you are lol. Hope, let us know if you make any progress with him! I have a friend who was in a similar state. Her guy was super timid with sex, even though they'd been together for YEARS. I think they had the stereotypical fight followed by angry sex, and it was like a "f me like you want to or i'm leaving for someone who will" kind of set up...and he just let go. She said it was the hottest sex she'd ever had.

Not that i'm encouraging a fight. My point is sometimes they need a little push in the right direction.

That said, we're pretty vanilla in the sex realm, too. Well...kind of. What can i say, i still love a good toy used on me now and again. Call it leftovers from my lesbian days

Lol thats actually kind of what happened. Little thing though and we got over it pretty quickly... DH says my weight is a tiny bit of the problem so weve talked about it and were going to get gym memberships together... Cuz I want his 8 pack back too We also went online shopping together and I had him save a bunch of stuff that he really likes and would like to see me in... gasp.... big insight into what he likes... apparently hes been holding in a lot more than I though, but we picked out a few things were both good with at my current weight and saved about 100 more for when Im comfortable with my self enough to wear them... Actually kind of looking forward to it
not sure if im out yet this cycle... not really feeling any different... trying to not get excited I think i might have convinced myself that theres no way....

 

[Flueky88]

Gigs I think the interaction at daycare will be great for Des.

Afm, I'm 27 fast approaching 28 and DH is 30. We've been married about 1.5 years and ttc starting May last year after I stopped bcp. I've had a time regulating my hormones and still in process but getting better.

I'm a nurse and I'm really pretty boring. I like reading, gaming, and playing with my nephew oh and shooting guns with DH is fun too especially on a pretty day.

Oh and we have a Chihuahua. She really hated the snow we got we had to shovel a path because she would haven been buried in the snow.

CB I can't believe you are a lemon now! Seems like yesterday you got your bfp.

Mommy, good luck on your ttc and weight loss journey

 

[TexasRider]

My husband was actually the opposite. When I lost weight he wasn't thrilled. And now that i have put on about 10 of it back he's a happy camper.. Apparently he likes my big butt

 

[claireybell]

Wish i had a bigger butt Lol mines nothing there ha ha!

Hi Flueky! thankyou, its flying by eeeeek!! Are your periods quite scanty or just very irregular with diff length cycles hun?

 

[mommyhopeful2]

My husband was actually the opposite. When I lost weight he wasn't thrilled. And now that i have put on about 10 of it back he's a happy camper.. Apparently he likes my big butt

Ive unfortunately put on almost 40 lbs in the year weve been together... He likes my butt, but still thinks some squats would do me good lol

Its my muffin top and thighs that turn him away.....

 

[Flueky88]

CB, just long and varying length. I had a 35 day cycle then a 2.5 month, then 7 week then 6 week. My last was anovulatory due to stress, my body tried but I was so stressed my temps were erratic and I finally just had my gyn prescribe progesterone to restart my cycle. I'm just patiently waiting for O now and trying not to stress about when I'll O and focus on knowing I will O. Oh and I must weigh in, I love reading "falling" pregnant it's cute

 

[JLM73]

OK...third time trying this post since this morning!
ONE MORE TIME! with feeling (as my orchestra teacher liked to say lol)

Gah
Campn I'm sure your son will be fine with some skin still there.
Figure uncut, all the skin would "hide" the hole, but since boys "hold it" when peeing he will be able to pul that small amount back

Flueky and Fern glad you have enjoyed this spectacle , that we are lol.
We by far have the most interesting thread, so I am so glad to have a place to talk about something other than TTC at times.
I like the other threads, but they don't have much variety. It's all DPO, CM, CP, IUI IVF, AF, FF, BT, etc hehe lotta letters goin on.

Here we swerve all over the road like a drunken one eyed man with one leg on the pedal and a bad alignment
I LOVE these ladies. They make me laugh when I am at the low points!

As for circ stuff- I agree Flueky CLEAN your sh*t! WTF??
But then again I have cathed MANY a nasty crotch! We get a nasty build up between lips, just like uncirc men get smegma
ALL side - CLEAN YO SH*T!!

I have heard my dad was not cut, and when I had my oldest son at 18- it was back in the day where 2 new moms shared a room. When they came to ask about circ...I said not sure. Lady next to me said YES pls!.
They brought her son back a cpl hours later and he SCREAMED the next 2 days whenever he peed. Guess the urine burned the cut??
I was so sad for him that whe they came to me I was like NOOOO!
I don't want my baby screaming lol.
Now I know better, and he is 23. He has NO prob with the ladies, and told me he doesn't have any probs since when UP the skin retracts, and they look the same. I told him if a girl doesn't want to be with you over how part of you looks, then she's not the girl for you, and he agreed.
I mean it never crossed my mind to say "Um yea, I don't like the way that looks! Cut my daughter's labia!"
It's no diff to me with boys.

Funny thing- DS dad was the one I knew who had a botched cut(very jagged looking?!) and when we founf out I was having a boy, He said I want him circumcised. I said why? It's not medically necessary ?
He said"Well he won't be able to have sex bcuz he won't be able to have an erection later!
OMG I laughed SOOOO hard.
He comes from a VERY religious family, and they warped his thoughts on everything!
I was like "DUDE! Ever take sex ed in middle school?? WTF are you thinking?? The kid wakes UP with a woody every day!" Which is the natural way the foreskin loosens to move back.
Many ppl don't realize the foreskin is attached until they get older.
Ex hub had a botched circ, and had to go back at 8yrs old and have another surg. Apparently when original cut was done, the scar tissue healed so tight, it formed a tight circular band, causig him probs peeing, and many uti's
Also, his junk was UGLY with that jagged scar, and he as an adult was overly sensitive ( not in a good way) in some spots when getting oral.

I am def Team Blue, and look forward to not fighting over circ.
I think circ or not, guys need to CLEAN their junk!

 

[mrs.green2015]

My DH doesn't like me loosing weight either. Be definantly ia supportive but wishes I didn't. He loves all my curves.

Mommy- no judgement at all and I totally wish you the best or luck on the weight loss but I really also hope your DH learns to love your size no matter what. I know because I've put on weight in my relationship that it takes a toll on us emotionally and I'm sorry you have the extra roll of your DH saying that.

 

[JLM73]

OK - so I am not due to O until just after V day.
Got my prep today.
I am gonna use Guaifenessin to help thin cm from cd9-cd14.
I made my own Soft cup from a PBA free bulb syringe ( snot sucker for newborns).
I got only 2 opks, because I always O cd13/14.
I have preseed and will use that with my McGuyver'd soft cup.
I am gonna use muti donors this time, instead of banking on one who may cancel or do dumb sh*t.
Still charting and temping as always.
If I don't get a BFP next time I know I have done all I can.

 

[campn]

J- I wish I said no, as soon as they brought my son back to me I had immediate regret. Now most hospitals will advise you against it and tell you there's no medical need, so really by the time my son is a teenager the common thing would be uncircumcised boys in the locker room.

But I've also been on the opposite side of things and thought circumcision was the thing to do so I understand!

 

[Flueky88]

J, I like the macguyvered soft cup. You really are thrifty and creative. I really hope you can get donors lined up for O and you get your bfp.

Also yes, all genitals need to be washed properly. I just seem to have to cath men more. Guess it's that darn prostate getting enlarged causing retention.

I had to put a woynd vac on a labia once. Thankfully the patient was good about hygiene. It was interesting trying to get adhesive to stick though.

Thanks. He loves me no matter what and we have fun no matter what, just a general preferance thing... kinda hard for him to pick me up against the wall the way he likes when im over weight. and a few other things he really likes are harder if im heavier because we both get tired faster and it spoils the fun

 

[campn]

Fluke- Major respect! What ward do you work in? I know nurses see some of the worst things and sometimes not deal with the nicest people. My friend got his shoulder ripped out by a patient once and 2 years later it still hurts!

 

[Flueky88]

I'm home health so I'm in their environment. I'm pretty sure I've been to a method home or two. Also, some very insect ridden homes. That's what gets me. I'm scared up picking up critters particularly bed bugs and lice. It is rewarding though. I think my favorite day was when a goat jumped in my car and the patient said, "Oh that's Lily and she loves to go for rides."

I hate to hear about your friend's shoulder. It's sad that health care workers can be treated poorly. Everyone should respect everyone! Regardless of gender, social, financial status.

Oh and congrats on your blueberry
