Support thread for all the atheist,agnostic,non-religious and secular humanist TTCers

[GingerPanda]

Yes! We love the medieval weapons as well. We have a one-handed, one-and-a-half-handed, and a two-handed sword. The two-handed is the one in the picture. We have at least three daggers, two bows, and two staves. I had a samurai sword when I was in high school and obsessed with Japanese stuff and anime. I gave it to my nephew when I moved North for DH.

We also have a TON of Nerf guns and two big Nerf swords that we wage wars with in the living room. We love toys, haha. No real guns, though, and I like it that way.

We love fantasy too. We've been cuddling in bed watching the LOTR movies bits at a time before going to sleep lately.

 

[GingerPanda]

I just took a Dollar Tree test.

 

[Sbmack]

You guys are cracking me up!

BFN's are not funny though. So sorry Gingerpanda. I took one too this morning and also got a bfn

I've been feeling pretty shitty all day, but this thread just made me laugh. Thanks, ladies!

I also look really young and my husband looks really old (he's 6 foot 6 and has a massive beard and a pony tail). He has been mistaken for my dad on many occasions and people are always shocked when they find out we're married... they always make comments about our massive age difference. I'm only a month younger than him! Poor guy!

 

[Skyler2014]

Lol that's hilarious vietmamsie.

One less religious person posting on my news feed due to the fact she sent me nasty messages for no reason and went hell on me on my profile. Even my parents deleted her. Why are woman around here mental? she complained about my cloth nappy post, called me names. Send me a nasty message about bringing a 3rd child in the world and how she felt sorry for my kids and insulted my parents. Well least I wont have to look at that bull about angel feathers and god on my news feed any more. Maybe she should take some of the advice she sends out.

I was at a block party in my neighborhood this summer. Some of the houses are seasonal cottages. One women asked if I lived in my house with my parents. I pointed to my husband and explained that we bought the house three years ago. She got a kick out of it, especially when I told her I was 31. The kicker (although it's more annoying now than funny) is that my mother and her husband are now living with us. So yes, I do live in the house with my parents, but it's my house.

Dragonfly, that women sounds crazy!

Sorry. Good for you for blocking her.

I once posted a status about how people should love their neighbors, and somebody commented on it telling me I was an athiest (I call myself agnostic), and I had no business posting something from the Bible. Really? Some of the stuff "Jesus" taught was good stuff! Do I believe he was the "son of god"? No.

 

[Dragonfly]

Like you cant be good without a bible ? yeah a girl who is a friend was shocked how nice I am for an atheist. humm.

 

[GingerPanda]

I've been told that, too! I always want to say "And you're very judgmental for a Christian."

 

[pbl_ge]

This thread is hard to keep up with now! I've been distracted by a very sick dog, too, but he's feeling much better today.

Sorry to all of you for having to deal with crazy people.

Sorry for the BFN Ginger. Sounds like you're not sure when you O'ed? Hopefully you're wrong about the timing, so this month isn't out for you yet.

Great news, Viet! When do you get another HCG test?

Glad things are looking good for you, Bubbles and Tsy! And I much prefer that those with BFPs stick around, as opposed to those who get preggers and never come by to even say hello again. You all know that I'm a fan of putting pregnancy tickers in spoilers, but I'd rather see folks than not!

Sorry you felt bad yesterday, Sb. I'm been feeling rather gloomy here, too. Today I feel really crampy and pre-AF, but I'm supposedly only 9 dpo, so I don't know what that's about.

to all you lovely Godless heathens!!!

 

[GingerPanda]

Eh, I think I'm out. I'm not sure when I O'd, but it was at least 20 days ago or so. My body hates me. I haven't been trying for a whole year yet, but I'm starting to feel like I'll never see that BFP.

And if I don't get one by the end of March, my doctor wants to start running tests. Probably expensive tests.

 

[hanibal766]

I just took a Dollar Tree test.

Oh that's rubbish. But if AF hasn't showed up don't count yourself out yet!

 

[GingerPanda]

Hah, thanks. I do think I'm out, though. It's been almost the time of a whole cycle for me just from when I O'd.

Whoah that's cool! I know where I'm going if there's ever a zombie infestation!

LOTR is excellent, watching it before bed is a good idea because hopefully it'll make your brain have excellent dreams. I often dream I'm a character in a book I'm reading and then wake up disappointed that I'm not, in fact, someone who can change into a wolf, have magic powers and talk to dragons.

Have you see The Hobbit yet?

I'm confused. I see only two possibilities:
1. You're pregnant.
2. You didn't ovulate when you thought you did.

Confused about any other option. Have you ever temped for a cycle to verify that you're ovulating? OPKs can tell you when your body is gearing up for it, but not confirm that it actually happened. Only temps or those expensive blood tests can tell you for sure.

Yes, we saw The Hobbit a couple of days after it came out! Martin Freeman makes an excellent Bilbo, haha. I liked him as John Watson in the Sherkock series as well.

I have never temped, and this cycle was the first time I'd used OPKs. I tried to use FF, but apparently my cycles are too weird for it or something. It kept messing up, so I quit. Maybe I should try temping, but I will be out of town in a hotel with DH during the time I'm supposed to O. He already says I'm obsessed with TTC. No way I can use a thermometer around him.


So I felt what I thought was CM and went to the bathroom, and it looks like AF has officially started now. Gooooodie.

 

[pbl_ge]

for AF. Booo!

Other halves rarely appreciate how difficult/consuming this stuff can be. Can you whip him into shape? It would likely be really helpful to have temps from a cycle or two charted when you go to see a fertility specialist. It's seriously the most informative thing you could do. I usually take my temp under the covers to try not to disturb my OH. Temping is soooooo common and important to TTC, so don't let OH stop you if you want to do it!

 

[bubbles82]

Glad your dog is getting better Pbl!

Another big thumbs up for temping over here, so glad I discovered it!

Oh no I'm sorry to hear that GingerPanda

I don't temp or do Obk's either so if I don't get my BFP this month I'm going to give them ago. So many women on here talk about them and how good charting is, but I guess it will take a while to get used to, especially if you do have irregular cycles.

FX'd for your next cycle! (and if your bloke gets funny about you temping, tell him that you'll take his temperature for him while he's asleep - where the sun don't shine! )
