Thanks for the well wishes! I'm calling my OB in the morning. Should they be able to call me in some antibiotics without an office visit? The office is half hour away

@mytrueloves if not, can you go to a closer pharmacy 'minute clinic' for one of the rapid strep tests? I know most Walgreens and CVS locations have them (Cvs now also being Target)
Omg, catching up from a day away and if course drama happens!! I'm really curious what the two posts removed for violations were.. that woman was super insensitive, and it was so kindly explained to her why. I honestly Didnt realize how many people struggled to conceive until I joined this bored as well. I know I am incredibly lucky, I would NEVER flaunt that or suggest to someone that they just weren't "In tune enough with themselves" that's such a slap in the face.. Now off to catch up on the rest of our lovely board!!
Reading through the first half of that post was heart breaking. I can't imagine what some of those ladies have gone through. I expected a hard road to fertility but was extremely lucky. I will never take that for granted.
@sammierose464 I felt that way too. I was kind of surprised it was made into a thread because I feel like that's so personal and I honestly thought it would've gotten heated much sooner...
Great that she can “feel” when she’s about to ovulate, but being “in touch with my body” doesn’t do me any damn good since I don’t ovulate - unless I’m on heavy dose meds. Grrrrr.
@mamabearcj and @sammierose464 the 1st one (the one that started it) said something like she's been lurking for a while and saw that the other woman (kayjay or something?) Is always rude in her posts and knew she would respond that way. She kind of back tracked on her words a bit but still didn't underatand why she was out of place and gave a GBCB. I don't really remember what the second one was unfortunately.
It's great if you can tell when you ovulate (I could, I was in immense pain). So many don't at all though, and I don't understand how someone could be so insensitive to that.
I've read that cramps or other uterine sensations around ovulation don't actually tell you the moment you ovulated. They can happen days before or after it. So it's not really all that helpful when TTC anyway.

I could tell when I ovulated. Somehow that didn’t stop my 4 miscarriages.
@mamabearcj I was also wondering why OP posted it to begin with. It sounded like she had one mc and then went for testing, which seems weird to me since many people have trouble getting ok’d for testing after a second mc and have to wait for a 3rd, and then she was put on clomid. Either I missed something, she left parts out, or she was looking for something that could end up with some drama without looking too obvious.
It seems like a really weird thing to ask people you don't even know, even on a platform like this where I feel like I know most of you decently, I don't know any of you nearly enough to ask about your ttc journey.. if you want to talk about it I'm all ears, but I have nothing to input and no reason to bring it up.
I think the topic and conversation should come more naturally over the course of getting to know each other. Also most people post their story in their introduction or signature if they wish to share. I agree the OP was most likely looking for a bit of drama

@knottieamusements mobile screwed up my formatting and put the pictures between the words. I couldn’t fix it.
@chopchop25 Thanks! I’ll be repurposing most of it for DD’s nursery so I’ll put the final product in nursery thread when it’s done. That will be late August at the earliest I’m sure.

Ovulation feels more like a pop at about the location of the ovaries than cramping, at least for me. I never relied on feeling it though. I’m actually pretty sure I didn’t feel it the month I got pregnant with my twins and I definitely didn’t feel it when I got pregnant with this one.
I agree with the 'pop' sensation. For me at least...I get terrible ovulation cramps for a day or two until eventually they are almost unbearable and I feel a pressure/pop sensation. I've also timed it along with OPKs and CM and it seems pretty darn accurate. Interestingly, this feeling only comes when I ovulate from the right ovary. My doctor said that's very common to only feel ovulation on one side or the other...or not at all!
Before my 20's I always just thought those cramps were menstrual cramps and I would take a tylenol.

Totally agree. Tbh it’s not something I would ask anyone. The handful of people I’m close enough with to feel comfortable asking that, I would already know it because they’d have told me as they were going through it. For newer friends, it’s the kind of thing where if the conversation is in that area, people share their stories if they’re comfortable doing so. If they’d rather not talk about it, they don’t, so I’d definitely never ask.
Wowwwww, that post in Feb made me super salty. I know some of the girls in that thread and I know all the shit they went through- taking you temp every morning up your vag at the exact same time every day (goodbye sleeping in on weekends!) first thing when you wake up before you move for months on end with no result. Spending hundreds of dollars on OPKs only to see you are ovulating great each month...but still nothing. Sticking your finger inside you once or twice daily to feel the position and texture of your cervix, aaaand nothing, but a yeast infection to show for it. But please, internet stranger pregnant after 2 months of trying, tell me/us how we need to be more in touch with our bodies.
PSA - If any of you guys are fans of the Netflix show “Nailed It!”, season 2 comes out next Friday! I, for one, am way more excited than I should be about it
I think I was more feeling after effects. Starting the cycle after BC I had horrible pain the Saturday mid-cycle that I only felt on the right side and crippled me. The month I got pregnant I didn't experience it. It was my first tip I might be pregnant. (My period usually starts on a Fri, so this was always the Saturday before).
Re: Randoms 6/15
Ugh, that Feb was definitely drama. I was feeling a bit bored, but not looking for a GBCB this way.
@cdepperschmidt I LOVE the nautical decor!
@mytrueloves feel better!!!
