Ok, so if I don't get KU this cycle when can i have a bottle of wine and not feel like I may be harming something that is happening inside of me. ie, i am going camping in NY in July and if I'm not preggers i would love to enjoy the weekend with friends, drink beer etc...but only if i knew i was in the clear......all you experienced ladies. Can you shed some light on this? Would it only be during AF that it would be completely safe to do so?
Thanks!
I'm feeling pretty blessed

Re: Random question
Thanks ladies! I'm still learning all the lingo around here...."drink till it's pink" copy that! I wasn't going to binge drink or anything, just thought sitting around the camp fire sipping on a frothy beverage versus a lemon water sounded way more more fun.....
When you read all these articles about trying to conceive they tell you to quit drinking, no coffee and stop smoking. I'm fine with no smoking as I'm not a smoker, but no coffee? Really? So, i had to kick that to the curb, i dont see anything wrong with drinking a cup o' joe in the a.m. and if there is then i'm screwed!
Fabulous! I drink a cup a day and I don't do soda so I'm good on that.
On another note.....my sister had an occasional glass of red wine while she was preggers (with both of her babies) or a single beer with dinner. Nothing more than that but some people scoff at that. With all the contradicting information out there, how do you know what to believe? One doc says it's fine, one says absolutely not. GAH! So confusing.
If I can't find a definite yes or no answer, I err on the side of caution. It just isn't worth the "what ifs" IMO.
Wow! Lighten up a little! You get scolded around here for the silliest things....... I can see why women drop off this board.Preggers= pregnant, same number of letters yes but if i prefer to use it over pregnant because i think it sounds cute, that's a no no and my intelligence is questioned? Gimme a break. Looks like you need a drink! Lame reply and really not necessary.
All of the useful and nice answers you received earlier and this is the one you chose to pick out and blow up? Geez
This. And if you choose not to drink, send the wine this way.

Its right up there with "prego" or its variation, "preggo."

I seriously don't get the annoyance with preggers/preggo/etc. and yes I've been around TB long enough. I hate when people say KTFU/KU but I don't waste my energy correcting people.
Eh, it just sounds juvenile to me. Like when adults call their significant other their "Boo." Just doesn't sound like something an adult says. ::shrugs::

Pshhhh you're not annoying anyone. Don't let it bother you. Its just a word and just an opinion. :-)

I totally agree with you and think the same about KTFU. I just don't get the need to correct people. If everyone corrected every thing they found annoying, this board wouldn't function. People should just post what they want, and others should keep their mouths shut, IMHO at least.
I find all the abbreviations annoying and the fact that everything isn't spelled out and if you're new on the board you have to consult the glossary to figure out what someone is saying. haha. I'm a poor newbie
But where is the fun in that!?

You'll get used to it....and then you'll still find abbreviations that you swear are just made up craziness. lol

I guess I'll just save my energy for the drive-bys and the "special" posters.
That sounds like an efficient plan to me. LOL

Oh my word, please tell me what a "drive-by" and a "special" poster is. I do NOT want to be in either of those categories.....perhaps I already am. Now wouldn't that be funny..,...LOL
No. I'll save that for you. I'm sure TB will send it along for stepping up to correct people. TB's opinion on all sorts of things changes frequently, considering the nature of the boards.
You're fine, I'm sure. Or at least I hope. Just don't post that you're secreting saving your urine. And you're already participating and making yourself a less likely drive by.
I guess I'd like to know if the majority actually care about this, or if its just an outspoken minority who feel the need to correct people. Feel free to start a C/P.
I am 12!
I secretly LOVE the feistiness of this board, especially Ghost Monkey. It's the little things in life that make me a happy woman...err pre-teen. The fact that this much energy is being put into this post is thrilling. Thanks everybody else besides her, you all have been kind in explaining the difference. Now, of you'll excuse me I have to go watch the latest One Direction video on Youtube and put on some Dr. Pepper flavored lip gloss. *high five*
Gotcha! I think i'm good then. I'm not psycho Sally (for now at least) and I'm not just lurking, not posting and just randomly dropping by to tell everyone I got a BFP. Thank you for the explanation
Thanks for your feedback!
LOL. I forgot to mention that you seem like a very mature for your age, except for the fact you use the word "preggers"
I have learned a valuable lesson today indeed : Preggers= bad and P-R-E-G-N-A-N-T = acceptable
Thank you Lob! I thought I was mature as well IMHO, just a sarcastic smartass when the opportunity is offered. I still use Dr.Pepper scented chapstick by Bonne Bell though, that stuff is amazing.
I lurrved the A&W flavor... Mmmm root bear
Oh sheesh, here we go. Really? Let the cat fight begin. I haven't dissed anyone on here, I'm an extremely nice person and have been respecful and THANKFUL to those who speak in a respectful manner. I think we can all talk like adults around here, no need for name calling but thank you for calling me a crapa$$ anyway.There's a way of saying things to people. The way the old wise GM approached it was in a condescending manner. I think some people like being a$$holes to people just because they're behind a computer screen. If it had been said like this "just a heads up, a lot of people on these boards prefer the word pregnant to preggers or preggo" that is completely different. But when you're "rude/blunt" expect a response. Just because she has been on the boards for 4 years doesn't mean anything. I'm a newbie, I had no idea it would cause such an uproar. It's sad really. I just wanted an opinion
Can't we all just be friends...I really dislike all this negativity floating around ;-)
Are you trying to be funny? Because this wasn't at all.
You know, if you just let it go and back away from this thread, it'll blow over. The more you keep picking at it, the less likely it will be for you to get kind, knowledgeable answers when you do need them.
Dude. Take a step back and take a breath. This isn't a hill upon which to die. Preggers, or any variation, is generally looked down upon here. It's a reality of the board. Listen to it an move on.
You can't read tone over the internet. Chillax!
Actually, GM told you pretty nicely that you would sound more intelligent if you didn't use the word "preggers" and you flipped your sh*t.
