Me. Every time I get my hair cut. 😂

TW PG(fictional characters)

What the heck is up with these characters on Grey's Anatomy having so many unplanned pregnancies? They're doctors, are we supposed to believe that they don't know how this all happens?!? For some reason this is making me irrationally annoyed today. 🤷‍♀️

NYTino24 · October 2019

Ah @emeraldduchess I was thinking the same while watching last night and finishing today before work.

Then a dumb phone commercial came on with a family with like 6 kids and the mom was talking about how hard it was to keep up with schedules.

blackgirlmagic · October 2019

@emeraldduchess I had the exact same thought. And I don’t get how people don’t know that they’ve missed a period. No one is that busy in life.

chaos-and-coffee · October 2019

@emeraldduchess @blackgirlmagic um, right? How do you not know? You know how it works...

emeraldduchess · October 2019

Apparently everyone at Grey Sloan missed the class on birth control in medical school.

NYTino24 · October 2019

I donated to a Homeless Shelter and a place that collects shoes to send to third world countries yesterday after cleaning out the basement and bringing some things to storage. Then I got a message that a project was funded and mail / message that more books were purchased for our class today. Come on, good mojo!!!

blackgirlmagic · October 2019

So I have one random pregnancy test from I have no clue, but it’s not expired yet. I told myself that I would not buy the cheap hpt like I did last time and that maybe this will give me some self control and only test if my temperature reflects that I may be pregnant. I told my husband that I wanted to buy the cheap ones and he looked at me like I was crazy and told me to wait till my missed period. Why don’t men get it and feed into our desires?! Lol. I’m going to see how many cycles I can hold off for before I pull the trigger and buy some.

inthewoods23 · October 2019

@blackgirlmagic omg what the hell was going on in 2016 that made someone come up with the siggy idea of "weird hot dog situations"

What other wonderful things have I been missing not seeing people's siggys on the mobile app??

millpe · October 2019

Well today is probably the last nice day of the year where I live. We have a high of 72!! And a winter storm watch starting tomorrow 😒

kpearse99 · October 2019

@millpe a winter storm watch already?!?!

That is both insane and unacceptable!!

millpe · October 2019

@kpearse99 Yes! I am insane for living here...

inthewoods23 · October 2019

@millpe I definitely remember a year where it was like 70+ and the next day there was a snowstorm. Go home mother nature, you're drunk!

Our house is cold right now (probably 62) since we haven't turned the heat on yet. Still have regular cotton sheets on the bed and DH complained this morning that he was so cold getting into bed last night. Yeah no shit I learned that going to bed an hour before him. I told him "don't make me tell you again that I'm not your housekeeper, you can change the sheets too!". Husbands... So useless sometimes.

emeraldduchess · October 2019

@inthewoods23 my husband always asks me to help him put the sheets on the bed, which inevitably turns into me doing it myself because he can never figure out the fitted sheet. 🙄

mvt2003 · October 2019

It's the most wonderful time of the yearrrr!

Jezebel posted the annual scary stories contest! Time to scare the snot out of myself!!!!

kpearse99 · October 2019

Anyone else afraid or hesitant to work out in the TWW? Especially after an IUI?! Gah... I'm just so afraid of messing up any chance I may have!! But I did manage to calm myself down and get a workout in on my lunch break today (jogging on the treadmill and an upper body workout with 5lb weights, so nothing crazy).

feather_heather · October 2019

@kpearse99 - I wasn't until this past IUI when my doctor told me to keep my heart rate under 140 for the next two weeks... Apparently I missed that piece of information the first time around lol

kpearse99 · October 2019

@feather_heather oh man!!! They didn't say anything to me other than I can resume my normal life lol (But then again I didn't ask this question to them either....) I emailed them just now haha

ETA: The nurse responded and said "Yes, exercise is okay

" so I guess I'm good... but I'm still going to take it on the light side and go easy.

inthewoods23 · October 2019

@kpearse99 I was never given restrictions after my IUIs. I did have restrictions after the ER and FET. I don't work out anyway so.... 😅

chaos-and-coffee · October 2019

@kpearse99 I feel like my energy is just generally lower during TWW so I find myself working out less anyway. I try to at least go for a walk or something because I figure that’s better than nothing!

My morning was spent being held hostage by this unwanted houseguest. Bless my mother for rescuing me.

@tyrion_ I take back my offer to house swap in January.... Sorry, friend.

kpearse99 · October 2019

@tyrion_ OMG!!!!!! I would have burned my house to the ground!!!

tyrion_ · October 2019

I am SHOCKED the neighbors didn’t call the cops with the amount of screaming happening.

jennifer_louise · October 2019

@tyrion_ What is it?? A snake??

Also, in my head I was like "where does tyrion live?" and then I remembered you ALSO have lizards in your house and I was like, oh right. Florida obvi.

tyrion_ · October 2019

@jennifer_louise yep. It’s a snake. And I’m in Florida. That gif is very accurate for what you’ll find here.

NYTino24 · October 2019

@kpearse99 I was told no restrictions. There are plenty of cross fitters and Olympic athletes that have worked out at a high level and have been fine.
@tyrion_

inthewoods23 · October 2019

Go me for nearly forgetting I have a dentist appointment today 😆 thank God for text reminders!

emeraldduchess · October 2019

@inthewoods23 I would miss every appointment ever if those reminders didn't exist! My dentists sends both a tex and an email, which have links to confirm your appointment. They don't play.

inthewoods23 · October 2019

@emeraldduchess even funnier, I was getting emails about openings from cancellations and I'm like hmm... Do I have one coming up soon? Sure enough, a few days after the appointment reminders showed up. They also message an hour before the appointment and that one triggered my panic of "crap I gotta leave work NOW!". Made it just in time 👌

charmedlifex3 · October 2019

I have a flu shot and a filling re-do both next Monday. Apparently I decided to hate myself on the 14th of October.
@inthewoods23 we have a heated mattress pad. It is the BEST. 100% going to put on flannel sheets tonight too.
We've had our pellet stove going, but not our main heat, so far so good on that!

mvt2003 · October 2019

@whatsbumpinpumpkin I think the pellet stove is the thing MH misses from our old house the most! It was just more work for me, but he really loved it 😂

blackgirlmagic · October 2019

@inthewoods23 You made me break out my iPad to figure out what you were talking about 😂. The old bump days were fun! Now I need to participate in the signature challenges to find other good ones!

blackgirlmagic · October 2019

And the bump hates me and won’t let me hide my signature. It’s also cool that the ff link still works and still updates itself.

blackgirlmagic · October 2019

I have a question and I may be the only one that feels this way, but is it a bump rule or a group rule that states you have to participate for three months before announcing your pregnancy? I know we want to keep the drive by’s out, but I just don’t understand it. If there is a thread dedicated to positive pregnancy test, then why have limits on who can share, especially if they have been active during their ttgp journey? I know how quick and easy it is to create bonds with ladies in this group and it would be fun to share in their joy and excitement. I know I’m new but it’s fun interacting with everyone, watching their temperature raise or following their tww period, and then poof they disappear and it’s almost like you get no answers. It took me a couple of days to realize that I should check the bmb to see if that is where they moved on to.

I’m not looking to change how this group is ran, I just have a question. I like having the dedicated thread instead of having them in the tww daily thread.

I couldn’t save this thought till Thursday because I would have forgotten. 😊

inthewoods23 · October 2019

@whatsbumpinpumpkin we used to have a heated mattress pad but I think it broke! I'd probably overheat using it though

blackgirlmagic · October 2019

@whatsbumpinpumpkin we have heated sheets and we love them! Our room gets freezing cold at night, so it’s a life saver in the middle of winter!

keikilove · October 2019

@blackgirlmagic I support your point of view 100%. I felt this way when I first joined & got burned for asking the question. Now, more than a year later, I still feel the same way as you. However, I think there should be a graduation thread for newbies that people can skip over if they don’t want to see newbies graduating quickly. And we keep the thread we have for vets who have been here 3+ months. (ETA: I think I brought this up again in a UO or FFFC sometime over the summer. That was a lively day!) However, I understand the feelings of those who have been here awhile feeling that it hurts too much to see people come & go so quickly when their own roads have been very long & hard (my own included). I think it just depends on how a person emotionally responds to things, no right or wrong about it. I’m ok w your idea but most vets here are not.

ETA: Spoiler below for mentions of PG/loss

Fun fact: the 3 full months rule was added as a clarification

after myself & some others posted our positives after being active less than 3 entire months. In my mind I’d been super active (lurking for a month after a loss and then) interacting heavily from late November into January. Some people frowned on it (but other vets sent me private messages saying that they didn’t mind me posting, they were happy for me) so I asked for public clarification on what warranted “active participation”. There was a thoughtful group discussion and that’s when the group decided on a full 3 months required to post your happy news. Unfortunately, myself & those others returned to TTGP shortly after our announcements & have been sure to follow that 3-month rule ever since.

keikilove · October 2019

@kpearse99 I’m going very easy on the working out during this TWW. My acupuncturist & that Chinese Medicine book “The Infertility Cure” both recommend keeping your body warm but not hot & not letting your HR get too high. My RE & old OB said the same for this waiting time, then after things settle it’s ok to ease back into it. Just another perspective, I guess.
I’m making sure to get at least 10,000 steps per day & also lifting 5-pound weights like you. But honestly, I’m fighting the urge to go running.
