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

[kittykat7210]

Haha only half of it is our house but it’s still big enough, not bad for a 23 and 24 year old

Greenie I'm also thinkingthe thought of ttc is overwhelming you right now. Hope you guys can come to terms soon. Also, ttc can be completely different. My #2 was conceived pretty fast. We basically started ttc in february so we caught on our 5th month. This was the only month that we really tried/lots of BD in fertile window.

Kit it looks like it'll be a very nice house. When is it's estimated completion date?? Also I'm disappointed there is no lineporn this morning

Gigs happy 10 weeks! I remember when you said Des wouldn't get up without permission.

CB is it still mega hot there??

Pacific how'd your appt go??


AFM sorry had a busy holiday. V passed out before fireworks. Well she got super fussy from being tired.

No line porn for me. Will do tomorrow.

 

[claireybell]

Hi ladies!!

I am new here as this is my first time in the tww forums!! A little bit about myself. I am 31yo and have two beautiful children ages 11 and 9. My cycles avg between 28-32 days with ovulation tending to happen late usually after cycle day 21 giving me a luteal phase of about 11 days. After some time not conceiving I began to wonder if my hormones were at fault. I notice I spot for upwards of a week after bleeding ends, and my temps are always on the low end. This cycle I decided to start taking a vitamin B Complex to help lengthen my luteal phase and encourage implantation. I am currently on cycle day 18 and I am officially 2DPO! I am not sure if the b complex is working this quickly but my ovulation has moved from 21 days to 16 which i find to be awesome. I also noted a clear change in cm yesterday at 1dpo. It went from ewcm to a milky white lotiony cm. Other than change in cm My temp went from a plateau of 97.7 for two days pior to O to 98 yesterday and 98.3 today. I am crossing my fingers and praying hard that I see a at the end of this tww!!

Cb i never understood how Mexicans can eat such hot foods to stay cool. The theiry is you sweat which cools you down but i'm like...but your sweat is just as hot as your body! Unless you're going to stand in a fan or something...

Oh man now I want an authentic mexican taco...ahhh I might have to fo to the city for the next best thing. They make tacos with pickled onions and avacado omg *drool*

Hi SA! Nice to see you come over from the ttc#3 thread will you be testing early? We encourage that here haha. If nothing else I hope the vitamins help shorten your period. I also spot for a number of days and it's so annoying!

KIT OMG i forgot to tell you -- I told hubby about your story and how your hubs was a little shell shocked. He said, "She got pregnant with a condom? His swimmers are very strong. He should be proud!"

that’s made me laugh! Maybe I should tell that to hubby

 

[mrs.green2015]

Thanks ladies! It really could be ttc anxiety. I think I was just shocked that he wanted another, like right now. He's never even told me he wanted anothe for sure before. I always pushed it. In fact, I'm the one who kept pushing for the end of this year!!!
Also thanks on the toddler bed and potty training advice. If we have another I'd like it to be done before baby arrives... BUT we'll most likely be moving beginning of next year. So I want to wait until we do that and they get settled. I also don't want to rush them and make us all crazy, like gigs story. I'd rather wait and try again.

Kit- it's huge! Even with half of it! Lol congrats! Hopefully it's done on time.

Sara- good luck with testing!

Flu- when are you testing again? You're doing one more right?

 

[pacificlove]

Green, our family doctor recently adviced us to potty train before #2 arrives. L is already very open to the idea, but we aren't stressing it. We have also been very open about going to the toilet and show him how it works (because what mom really gets a quiet few minutes every time!). Every once in a while now, he'll tell us "big poop!" Which means it's either coming out or already in the diaper. Haha, we aren't stressing it's more so lead by him. He's now at a point where he'll squeeze when he's placed on the toilet, so he does know what it's for.

As for my mw appointment, something came up for next week where they could not keep my appointment.
I have a midwife team of 4, with 2 being my main midwives that I'll be seeing.

Ultrasound is still this Friday.

 

[gigglebox]

Friday as in TOMORROW?! Eeee!!!

Oh also ladies with boys and no close neighbors...we also let Des pee putside and gave him targets, like "pee on that weed". Boys love to pee outside! He still misses the bowl inside but i am told that is just life with boys lol

Also if it helps he learned to pee sitting down then transitioned to standing (i think after peeing outside).

Gaaah to stay home or go get tacos for lunch. Decisions, decisions...

 

[kittykat7210]

Just booked a scan for the 15th

 

[gigglebox]

YESSSSSSS!!!

 

[Flueky88]

CB omg! No way I could eat chili in the summer. I'm not sure if I'd manage a couple of bites.

Kit hope it doesn't get pushed back further.

Oh and you said you got 3+ on digi at 13 dpo. Holy moly!! Glad you have a svan booked for the 15th.

Sarah good luck!! If your temps are low even in luteal phase then maybe you have lower progesterone levels??

Gigs about what your DH said about kits DHs swimmers.

Tacos or stay home?

Greenie I'm going to try to move V to toddler bed before #2. As far as potty training not working on that until after 2 unless she's ready.

I'll be testing tomorrow and then Sunday or Monday witj my last 2 frer. I have a digi weeks estimator that I plan to use next Thursday. I'll probably do some IC every other day for a bit too.

Pacific oh I hope you mean Friday as in tomorrow!!!

 

[kittykat7210]

Yeh got a 3+ this morning i would have gone for earlier if they would let me, as it is I’m lying about my dates they won’t scan unless you’re 6+ weeks and I’ll be 5+2

 

[Flueky88]

Had to take care of v, she was getting fussy. She was ready for her juice and then nap time. Considering napping myself...

Anyways, she had spaghetti and garlic toast for the first time. She seemed to really enjoy it I ate too much though and have felt a bit miserable. My own fault.

My lab appt is tomorrow. I'm looking forward to getting things started. I plan to try to schedule my firsr scan for August 2nd. I'll be 8+2 but I'd rather see baby at 8 wks than 7wks. I'm hoping they will let me. If not 7+2 it'll be.

I'm a bit sad that my 1st appt can only be with midwife or nurse practitioner. Nothing wrong with them, but I really wanted to meet with the ob that delivered V. I'll try to get either my 12 week or 20 week appt with him.

I've been looking back on my hpt progression with V and this baby. Vs was lighter at 13dpo but she progressed very fast. So I'm leaing to my intuition of boy is right.

Alright, going to try to book ou cabin rental.

 

[claireybell]

Did the spag bol make u feel icky or just over full Flueks? Oooh cabin rental.. where u holiday’ing too?

Yay for scan Kit heheee!!!

Haha Gigs i was walking home with Riley on school run last yr in the summer & the lil chimp just started peeing up against a lamp post i was mortified as our house was 7 houses away lol! He just laughed, think he was showing off infront of his friends, but yes boys love peeing outside ha ha!

 

[claireybell]

Oooh Pacific is it a scan apt with mw tomorrow??

gigglebox,

I am happy to be joining the tww forum. I plan on holding out until 12dpo if I can, but given my history, I will probably end up testing early lol.

mrsgreen,

Thank you! I am praying very hard for my bfp. Its been 9 years since I gave birth to dd, so I don't remember what my symptoms were back then. I was 20 when my daughter was born, and now 9 years later at 31 and settling down with my partner of 6.5 years, I am eager to become pregnant and have another child.
