No, ma'am. You're not allowed.

I wish I could say I came up with it but we saw it in a SNL skit. It kinda stuck lol.
You just reminded me, I had my underwear on backwards half the day Saturday. And I was wearing a thong. [:I] Yeah, not sure how I didn't notice that one!

I love both you ladies so much. You always say all the right things. I think a little fear or at least a knowledge of it helps. I keep DH in check but, I don't think him cheating would be the issue as much as him getting sick of my sh*t.
Now that is good advice!!!

Not gonna lie, I seeeeeriously rolled my eyes at the P&R in that post myself and thought that I wanted to pat a few of those people on the head with their precious naivete. I don't think it's a matter of controversy or that they didn't believe the article - just that they are ignorant to how bad things can get quickly. That said, I wouldn't anyone to go through IF just so they know how all of it feels... I can't put that in to words.
Truthfully, though, I had no idea this board used to be snarky and witty and I'd be all for that making a comeback. There's only so much Pollyanna I can handle before my brain atrophies.
I have been thinking about a post from last night all day. The more I thought about this post, the more uneasy I became. Though this post was prefaced with "Not a phishing post" numerous times, it CLOSELY resembled that of a post that is normaly bombarded with (deserved) snark and hilarious gifs. Not only was this resemblance to me more clear the more I read it, I also began to have the feeling of deja vu- like I have been reading something akin to this post once a monthNot only was this resemblance to me clear the more I read it, I also began to have the feeling of deja vu- like I have been reading something akin to this once a month.
I truly understand the desire that comes from the core to be pregnant again- desperately hoping to feel those symptoms again that let us know we were pregnant that first, magical time. No matter how strong that desire is, analyzing every symptom to a great degree is not going to make it a pregnancy symptom
It is common knowledge that progesterone causes many of the same symptoms for PMS and pregnancy. It is also well known the power of the brain's ability to convince you of something that isn't there. I know that we all know this, which is why this post started to make me feel uneasy. Asking if your symptoms leading up to a period are the same as pregnancy symptoms is phishy, no matter how much you say that it was not a phishing post
YDammit, I go to yoga and y'all decide to bring out the drama and I miss it all. Ah well, it's a pretty good read even after the fact.

January PAL Siggy Challenge: Good Advice
I don't believe in forced sterilization and I'm a big fan of reproductive rights, but I feel like one of my good friends needs to stop having kids. She just announced that she's having #5. They can barely afford #1 through #4. She and her husband are constantly going through a marital crisis. They're in debt up to their ears. One of their kids has medical issues and another is severely autistic. I don't know WTF she's thinking. I think she judges me about the fact that we only have one, because she has made offhand remarks about him missing out on "sibling love", or how even if we have another now, how spread apart in age they'd be.
This isn't the first friend I've had where I've given serious side eye to their baby announcement. Not everyone should be out having kids.
::raises hand as the offender of the pseudo-phishing post::
I do apologize if it came off as phishy, and I reworked it about 10 times before i posted, and inserted multiple "not phishing" disclaimers because I was afraid it would be misconstrued that way. Believe me, I have been around here for long enough to know how annoying those can be.
I am also well-aware that progesterone during the LP mimics pg symptoms.
If you look closer at my post, you'll see I am NOT asking if my symptoms were caused by pregnancy. Rather, I was asking a pure mechanics question - whether you could exhibit actual symptoms while still showing a BFN.
Perhaps if I had asked the question on cd5 or something and posed it as a hypothetical question, it would be better received. I honestly was not looking for P&R, but scientific answers. I like to know how things work, simply put. And while I do appreciate the support and encouragement in the answers I received, I did cringe at some of them that were overly optimistic, since I knew that would only contribute to the perception that I was phishing. I would hope that most of you "know" me well enough by now to know that's not my style.

And while we're at it, since I feel like a lot of Petra's annoyance with the article is directed at me, I do know my DH would never stray, because of some events that happened in his childhood with his father's infidelity that royally f*cked him up. Is our marriage perfect? Absolutely not. Does TTCAL cause arguments and stress in our marriage? F yes. But he would outright leave me before he cheated on me, this can say for certain, as the person who knows him best in this world.
I read the article quickly at work this afternoon, and responded quickly as well. I had no idea what I wrote would hit a nerve - I just simply thought the article was a little hasty in trying to imply TI would cause your SO to cheat on you or his weiner to go soft.

I am the same way. I don't think I'd survive if I didn't look at things the same as you. Like Petra said, there's a difference between P&R and glass being half full. P&R would be holding someone's hand when they're doing something that could easily be followed with 'told you so' when it doesn't work out... (ex: BFN @5dpo).
I do not recall anyone blaming anything on newbies. One could infer that, but unless I missed something I don't believe that was said.
