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

[Flueky88]

I see it on FRER gigs!!

 

[Keepsmiling91]

Giggle box I see it on ur FRER! Eeek congrats xx

I just caved and brought a digi this afternoon and more FRER, so here it is

It took what felt like a life time for that stupid timer to disappear! X

Both were taken wih the same afternoon sample (12dpo AF due tomoz) x

 

[DobbyForever]

Gigs! That is so exciting!!! Have you shown hubs yet?! CONGRATS!

Keep, that line looks good. I get shit results with fmu on frers.

AFM, we did not do it at my parents. Well, more like two strokes and I was like nope too anxious. Then we got home and got in a huge fight because we started having at it and I guess at some point he passed out and it turned into this whole thing. Then we tried again and he was like I want to get you pregnant, I want you to have my baby, blah blah blah even like grabbing and massaging at my uterus... but he got the whiskey D so that's the end of that.

Congrats Keep

Dobs, sounds like you had a very exciting night...but it does sound like he's into the baby idea, even if he admitted it when drunk. I'm curious to see how he'll be about it when sober...

I haven't told hubs yet. He's at work. I really want to surprise him, but we're having money issues right now and I'm scared of how he'll take the news. He hasn't gotten many hours at work recently and it looks like he might need his wisdom teeth pulled (they are causing him pain).

I'm going to grab another box of frer's and make sure the line gets darker first. Gotta use my buy one get one rebate

For now the line looks like it did with my chemical so i hope it gets darker, not lighter...my boobs still feel awesome though so at least I remain symptomatic.

 

[FutureMrs]

Omg congrats to both you ladies!!!

Gigs- Omg I see the FRER one!!! Get the frer gold cause it incudles one of the old design and wow! Apparently you only get pregnant by pulling out! I'm so excited!!! Can't wait for your next test!

Dobby- oh god that must be all so confusing to you Dobby, one minute this then that! They say truth comes out when we're drunk though right? Looks like deep down he wants a baby but looks like he's just scared shi*less

 

[gigglebox]

Lol! I'm thinking more likely it's from the sex earlier in the week, but who knows...but I'm at Walmart right now with a frer 3 pack (i like to see progression) and their last three cheapies on the shelf.

Blah this timing kind of sucks! I was really getting comfortable with the idea of putting a second on hold, or maybe not having a second at all lol

 

[DobbyForever]

Awww Gigs. It'll be ok. There is never a perfect time like y'all said and you and hubs are going to make it work. How are you thinking of surprising him? / When are you testing again? Loving the line porn.

He sobered up and was like NOPE no baby. So I'm over it. I don't know if he finished. I don't think he did, he was too drunk to tell, but I did leak something after we were done. The problem was it smelled like semen, but it didn't have the look/ consistency of semen. I don't typically leak. so I have no idea.

 

[campn]

Dobby- Sometimes when we're ovulating we leak a mix of semen plus cm so it's hard to tell really but the smell is so distinguished so if you smelt semen it probably was!
Does he not give you any clue when he's done? Like Samantha sings the opera when she's done.

(Sorry ladies I've been watching too much sex and the city)

 

[campn]

Gigs- Looks like it was meant to be baby!!

 

[mrs.green2015]

Gigs- can't wait to see more test!

Dobs- hugs. Men are stupid but I'm secretly hoping he finished and you ovd or will very soon!

Afm- had some sticky cm yesterday but today it's creamy. Still VERY negative opks. So I'm starting to loose hope.

 

[campn]

Green- I've had cycles where it'd go from ewcm to creamy cm then to ewcm. Don't lose hope hun.

 

[gigglebox]

LOL Campn, you're too funny. I watched through season one and I had to turn it off. I don't know why but I just never feel good after watching an episode so I gave it up and started watching food shows (cupcake wars, ace of cakes, chopped) lol



Dobs, that is confusing...definitely sounds like it could have been "it" though. Like campn said, that odor is certainly distinct.



I talked to hubs on his lunch break. I actually took another test just before he called...He's convinced his paycheck is going to be well below 1,000 this week and wants to start seriously hunting for a new job. He's there on his break talking about our financial tightness and I'm sitting there starting down at the pink line showing up on the test He also suggested we drop insurance, which I think is going to be a great thing. I ran the numbers and we're paying (just for me and Des) $5,000+ a year just in premiums, and my deductible is about $5500. So if I have a baby, I'm going to be eating that massive cost. I called to get a price check from the hospital and they quoted 8500-10500 on a vag birth (c section starts at 12000), THEN they have a 54% uninsured patient discount!!! So i'll save a boat load by not having insurance, we can get a loan to pay off the bills with a low interest rate through our bank, and we'll have (for now until the loan pay off) over $400 a month back in our pockets. Even paying the loan will be less than insurance.



SORRY FOR THE RANT! Ok, so, hubs is swinging by a local mechanic shop after work to see if they're hiring. When he gets home, I'll gauge his mood and see if it's the time to tell him or not.

Green, agreed, it can change in a day or two drastically. Not sure if it matters but my ov days range from 14 to 20. if you're anything like me, you still have time!

Oh, not to keep y'all in suspense...but the test again had a second line, only a hair darker than this mornings (on a 2 hour hold). I'm happy because last time when I took a test later in the day it was totally blank (with the c/p). So a faint line is still a line and I'm still in...can't wait to see what tomorrow morning's test looks like.

 

[gigglebox]

ugh, in all my ranting I forgot to answer how I was gonna tell hubs!

I think I already explained this...but the plan is to tell him there's a surprise in the duck house, and there he'll find an egg (or eggs) that say something like, "We're incubating an egg of our own. You're going to be a Daddy again!"

maybe i'll skip the theatrics of dragging his ass out to the duck house and just do it to egg carton eggs.

 

[mrs.green2015]

Post a pic!!!

 

[campn]

Wow gigs that insurance is expensive! It's really sad we're the only first world country with crappy healthcare and maternity leave, we are probably one of the most worked nations in the world that barely ever gets paid vacations. Sorry I'm going political on you but it just really puts me in an angry mood to see how much we have to pay to have babies!

We're gonna be down to one car very soon and just hoping and pray DH gets a raise and a promotion this year cause things are tight here too. I'd get a job but with preschool being crazy expensive it makes no sense.

Rant over here too!

Yes yes post the pic heck yes!

 

[FutureMrs]

First time doing an OPK Would you guys say this is positive?
