Re: could be...
Wow, you are really sweet...and so mature...thanks!
Haha, LOL, that was cute...I give you that:)
I felt I had to respond since they asked for an article proving it could happen. couldn't leave my fans waiting.
Actually, yes!
Ahh yes, the good old shadow of a doubt standard of proof, I believe that's how OJ got off.
TTC since August 2011, Me = 40, DH = 38
Unexplained IF. Tried Clomid for 3 cycles. All BFNs. BFP 1/6/13. Chemical pregnancy.
Moving on to IVF#1. ER 11/26/13, 16 eggs retreived, 12 mature and all fertilized. 2 blasts transferred on 12/1. All other embies arrested so nothing left to freeze. Beta 12/10 = BFN. IVF #2 March 2014. BFP!!! TEAM BLUE!!!
I'm going to skip over all the other bs and focus on this gem. An egg lives for approximately 24-48 hours. You think you can get pregnant outside of that time? Meaning, when no egg is present? I'm even giving you a pass on the whole "getting pregnant while having a period" thing because I really want to know how you think you can get pregnant when you're NOT ovulating.
Me: 32 DH: 31.
B/W: good. SA: good.

You took the words right out of my mouth
Actually, my grammar is phenomenal in my legal briefs..b/c you guessed it, I am an attorney...good for you! You get a gold star! The issue is that when I get flustered b/c I'm being attacked, and criticized incorrectly I type on my computer very quickly..so learn the difference between spelling mistakes and typos! I've seen some from you all, too!! Oh my, the horror! And what I have been saying is intelligent. I guess you should find someone who got pregnant when she didn't chart her ovulation, and her guy pulled out in time?! B/c then maybe you'll believe that a person can get pregnant other than those 2 charted ovulation days! Ciao...it's been real (and obviously, this board has some really stressed and bitter people on it, so I think I'll move on....) You all need to relax and take a vacation. Trying to get pregnant makes you really quite nasty and critical...
Again, another polite reader of this blog....
Here is a medical article I thought you'd all appreciate reading...again, to reiterate, I am not saying a woman can get pregnant with no egg present (as someone tried to imply I was stating), but that it can happen at any point during the month. And yet, it is me against the world. Not one of you can admit it is possible....wow, you really are dead set on those ovulation charts, and refuse to sway from anything else, huh?
"A woman can become pregnant from having sexual intercourse during menstruation. In fact, recent research conducted by the United States National Institutes of Health (NIH) suggests that women have the potential to become pregnant at virtually any time during their cycle. While the chance of pregnancy is greater on certain days of a woman's cycle, it is never completely absent. "
Thank you, and you all have a nice day....Good luck!
The study is quoted within the source, and I'm not making crap up. What's the matter? Worried that what I've been saying all this time could be true? Get over yourself, and look it up on your own if you don't belive me.
Check out kidshealth.org, and a ton of other medical experts/sites that say the same thing. Unprotected sex at any point during the month can lead to pregnancy. That was my argument from the beginning, and no matter how many people refuse to accept it, it is true!
It aint strange...its science
I would hate to be represented by an attorney who cant stand up to verbal attacks and criticism
Duh, right. I was so wrapped up in this twat that I mixed up the OPK prediction window and the life of the egg. But that helps my argument even more
This is why attorneys have paralegals, isn't it? This and the counting. . .

She really should just go all Ann Coulter on us and say "According to a Lexus Nexus search ovulate appears 1111 times in the same sentence as menstruation therefore bootstraps and pregnancy, biitches!"

You guys can make fun of me all you want, but the fact of the matter remains the same. You are so ignorant, and so set in your ways, that if you don't attempt to conceive during that brief window of time charted on your ovulation calendar, it won't happen! Well, newsflash, wake up already! It's such a shame that the name calling, and the arrogance possessed by this group, continues to happen....apparently, no one can handle the truth..Just want to criticize, mock my career choice (and grammar, which doesn't even make sense since I've seen how people write here, and this isn't any formal document, so excuse me for not writing up to your expectations!). Regardless, even with any articles or medical journals that I'd present here, you only want to believe what you want to believe. That's fine.... So be it. Just grow up already. Name calling is so juvenile...I think that your only 'outlet' are these blogs. Find a new hobby. Don't be so bitter...there's no point. LIfe is too short.
Hi all, I'm new to this board, and kept quiet long enough as I was reading through this. First of all, am I the only person who thinks that what Laura has been saying this whole time could definitely be true? Is everyone here against her? Or are some of you scared to be treated as nastily as she has been treated? I thought these forums were to be helpful, but quite frankly, they are the opposite. All you guys have done is call her some horrific names, insult her profession, and her grammar. Really? Nothing better to do, huh?
Let me just say that, without medical journals to back me up, that, my best friend actually got pregnant the day before, or first day, of her period (she knows the difference btw implantation bleeding, thank you!)! Yes, her husband was away in the military so that was the only day they could have conceived her son...her dr. said she probably released two eggs that month, or it occurred at a time close to her menstrual cycle. Therefore, with sperm living for a few days, pregnancy happened!
All that Laura has been saying from the beginning is that it could happen. But by calling her a name that I can't even say as it makes me blush, and criticizing everything she has said and done from the start, is disgusting to me.
I didn't realize that women who are trying to conceive are just so extra hormonal or something. You should be nicer to her. She didn't do or say anything that many of us don't know. We just can't all accept it, I suppose. She only got defensive when you guys all attacked her at once. I don't blame her. You were all very harsh.
I thought that she needed someone on her side, and someone who knew that her argument was valid.
But you guys really turned me off from these boards b/c the way you treated her was so nasty, rude, and quite honestly, unnecessary, b/c she was right! Yet, no one can accept that! YOu are asking for scientific journals and proof to back it up? Really? What is wrong with you all?
Good luck to you in your pregnancy dreams. It is time for me to move on...
FFS you're still coming back to this? I thought you were done with us like 10 posts ago? What point are you even trying to make anymore? That we should all totally try to get pregnant during our periods because there's a remote chance that we could ovulate? Yeah, we'll all get right on that.
And BTW? You're the only one sounding bitter.

Yes, this is a great source. And again, all she said was it could happen. Did you not read her argument?
And who are you to comment on whether it is a blog or forum, and make fun of her that way? Wow, you are so wise. Did you attend an elite college? If so, didn't they teach you some things about manners? You have some nerve.
I can't see why she wouldn't have linked her source, since it was the super-reliable, 100% accurate WiseGeek.com!
And if she had linked it we would have seen that the very next sentence in the article (if you can call it that) was, "While the rhythm method may be appropriate for couples trying to become pregnant, it often fails when used to avoid pregnancy." Does she not understand that there's a big difference between the rhythm method and what most of us do to detect ovulation?

Lots of love and luck to my TTGP IVF Buddy Kathy4678!
Firstly, I call AE.
Secondly, your friends DH should probably request a DNA test.
***EVERYONE WELCOME***
Yeah no kidding!
You guys really can't accept anything other than what has been drilled into your heads for so long, huh? And let me ask you, how is that all working out? Maybe, just maybe, some of you should just learn to address the issue at hand, and not simply find something to attack in another person who posted comments: such as her being an attorney (which I think she would be excellent at since I bought her argument with flying colors...and I think she presented it well, much to all your chagrin), her grammar (also, which seemed fine to me as this is a board, not a letter to the president), and call her dumb, and other awful words. Are we in grade school, here? You have nothing better to say, so you just say how stupid she is? Esp. when her points are valid ones! I think many of you are the ones who look pretty stupid, quite honestly.
Look, everyone should do whatever works best for them, but don't bite people's heads off simply b/c they are pointing out that there are other possibilities out there (not necessarily the norm, but definitely possible!).
Just learn to not always insult, attack, demean, etc.... You all ganged up on her. And for what?
Good luck TTC. Some of you really should think twice about being parents based on how you've been acting.
If you'd be so kind as to point out where I called somebody stupid, or bit somebody's head off, I would really appreciate that, thanks.
I can assure you that I have done my research on how the female and male reproductive systems work. It sounds to me like your friend is trying to cover up the fact that she got pregnant by another man. I'm just being honest.
And I am an awesome mother. I've doubted myself since before DD was conceived, and I'm sure I'll wonder if I'm doing my best until I go to my grave, but she loves me and is happy and well-adjusted. So thank you for reminding me of the fact that I need to tell myself that sometimes.
***EVERYONE WELCOME***
Exactly! I didn't want to say something like that because I'd be sinking to their level.
Thank you, thank you! Someone, other than myself, who actually has said something worthwhile here (without name calling, telling them how dumb they are, or abruptly attacking the people directly)! :)Thank you for understanding, and agreeing with me on this. Some people just cannot accept the unfamiliar! Or, they cannot at least acknowledge that there's a 'chance' that something else could happen! And congrats to your friend...I'm sure the baby is her DH's, but some people who can't admit that they might have been wrong, can only find something nasty to say instead! It's sad, really. Good luck to you, MLane.
What kind of law do you practice if you have all this time to have an imaginary friends?
