Oh, and someone on the Dec BMB board basically just said that my DH is a sex freak, doesn't understand pregnancy, and doesn't care about the baby as much as sex ... because a few of us said that our DHs are bummed that we're not as interested in sex right now ... and because some of us offered BJs in place of sex to accommodate.
Wut?
Are you fucking kidding me?? What the hell is in the water?
Sorry for my language. Teacheritis is starting earlier this year which means my filter is slipping

Oh HELL no. But in a twisted way I'm glad that your BMB isn't super awesome like this one. Because if it was you wouldn't be here with us as much! *now leaving to go lurk that board because seriously, wtf? i have to see this for myself*

I tried to be nice and replied with "I know you didn't mean anything by that but ..."
But seriously, she talked about how she's nervous to have sex after her last MC but that her fiance could care less about sex anyway, which she loves. And she frankly prefers that he not and likes that he's not a sex freak and understands pregnancy and cares about the baby more ... basically implying that all us sex lovers are sluts and irresponsible.
It could just be my hormones so I'd love your guys' take on the comment!
@kyleneum13 So I read the thread and I really don't think she meant it the way it sounded, but you can tell she's paranoid and misinformed. Having never had a MC, I can't really speak to that, though I can kind of understand why she might be freaked out about sex after something like that, no matter what the science says.
That said, I totally agree her post did imply everything you said (intended or not) and that's still unacceptable regardless of the circumstances.

You're probably right and that's probably why my initial reaction was to comment but not to really call her out -- just be nice about it and show that her post can be read wrong. I feel like she made a few other comments on other posts that irked me which is probably why I had my initial irritated reaction, or I could be mixing her up with other people like I did on this board today. Who knows. Bottom line, I'm over it already and really want to take a nap.

Edit: because thread =\= board
Or I could be reading this one post by her and she could totally be a witch when considered in the context of all her other posts. I think your response was spot on.
Also, and this is more of a confession than a rant ... there is a chick on there who posted last week trying to figure out her ovulation/conception date ... she was using LMP but was also throwing in the days she had sex. It was explained that without temping you can't know for sure and to just wait until her appt to get measurements and the doc would tell her a more accurate estimate of due date.
She posted again today that the measurements gave a date four days different from the lmp ... and wanted to know what her actual conception date was ... again. It was reexplained that there is no way to know for sure if you weren't temping and to just go based on what the doctor thinks is most accurate.
She was so insistent to figure out her conception date on the original thread ... and now that she's asking again ... my first response was that maybe she's so adamant about finding out the actual specific conception date because she's trying to figure out who the daddy is I'm a HORRIBLE PERSON.
I am already temping though for when we start up again.. but still
I kind of just want to know either way now
>.<
And I want all the cookies!
My Cousin was told that she was going to have a boy for her first, was a girl
womp womp
My mom was actually told I was going to be a boy. I was "shy" but the doctor was like he has a strong heart beat and is measuring bigger so therefore must be a boy!
me and DH will be Team green all the way! WE already have the take home outfit. I t was mine take home outfit when I was a baby, mom gave it to us when she came to visit last time.
But this does remind me of a convo I had with DH. He wants to start buying baby items now so we can space out all the things we need to buy. I think why? It may be a while longer for us to Have a baby. Any thoughts?
Reading today's "I think I'm pregnant" posts ..why is this a daily occurrence? I don't understand what would make someone think we would be helpful.
What if I went on a car forum and said "I think I need an oil change!" I could even post a pic of the dip stick, you know just because who doesn't like pictures?
And how in the hell would you know whether or not I need an oil change?!
I do need an oil change, but that's totally besides the point.

No. Because before I finished reading that was my thought.

I love the idea of team green but I like knowing. it helped me bond with the baby, and to know the sex helped figure out names (I could toss half the list). Not really 'planning' though.
@mrsespigreen that is super cool that your mom saved that stuff! I'd love a take home outfit that was mine!!
As for buying things early, I have never had a baby so I can't say, but I do wonder if it would make me sad to have too much stuff waiting for who knows how long. BUT, I would never pass up a great deal, or an awesome hand-mhand-me-down, yard sale find, etc!

LOL- nope you're not horrible. I also made me think of this.

So what was with all the crazy today? Did Ryan bring them?
MY FAULT ... so sorry. I should never have taken on that challenge.
Ryan couldn't have brought them. They were coming before he got here. Plus, just look at that face.
Edit: picture not working
I'm wondering if they looked at that face and then wondered if they were pregnant. He has that effect.
Darn it! I didn't even think of that scenario. Yeah, it might be his fault.
Soooooooooo, is there someone else we can use?
Edit: words are not my friend today.
@27alex wants Charlie Hunnam Day but I feel as though he may have the same effect ... especially being British, which I'll remind you, I JUST FIGURED OUT.
Perhaps we should just have a rule that ANY hot guy needs to show up in every thread ... example:
Post: OMG OMG OMG, I have a cramp in my big toe and I totally bawled my eyes out at Grey's last week. I must be totes preggz, right? And check out my pee stick. I don't see a line, but I'm sure someone does, RIGHT!??!?!!
Response: I'm going to lessen the blow by allowing Shemar Moore to provide my response ... he says, "Bitch please, you're crazy. And NOT PREGNANT."
Why did I not start reading this thread earlier? I think I've said this before but just in case.... I love this board! I love that even tho most of the conversations are TTC related we can veer off into the most random crap and it takes my mind off of TTC for a bit.
Then some noob would-be teen mom pops in with an "am I pregnant?" post, completely ignoring the guidelines and general atmosphere of this board and pisses everyone off. Seriously... Anyone else feel like ever other thread today was symptom spotting?

TTC #1 - Nov '14
DS born 10/18
...I'm going to get wine...
@kyleneum13 I stopped dirty lurking the BMB's because they're ridiculous. Although TTGP isn't much better.

Last time I was on things were calm and then BAM!
Stupidity sure is flowing around here :-t

I thought about commenting but got to "even with temping there's a window" and needed to walk away.
