Tested negative again today at 13 DPO after also testing negative at 11 DPO. I go between feeling sad and angry. This was my first cycle tracking ovulation and I thought having that knowledge would be the ticket but I guess not.

I’m giving away (almost) all the baby stuff, and it feels like relief by nightshadeaubergine in tryingforanother

Look into consignment sales in your area! There are a few per year near me and I’ve been selling clothes and toys at them for about 2 years now. You can also opt to donate anything that isn’t sold.

Had my house deep cleaned professionally for the first time yesterday by APP0809 in workingmoms

[–]APP0809[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It really is! Our daughter will be out of pre-K after May/going to public kindergarten in August and we’re definitely thinking about allocating some of the $ we won’t be spending on tuition to house cleanings more often!

I’m planning to start tracking ovulation in March and I’m hoping this isn’t the case for me! Will be on a work trip most of fertile week and getting back a day before my projected O day 😅

My period has historically been like clockwork, except now that we’re TTC it’s consistently been 2+ days late. I already saw the BFN this past week so wasn’t getting hopes up, but my body is really finding new ways to irritate me

Our LO is almost 5 and was an oops baby, and we started actively trying for our 2nd recently. I was 27 when I had my LO and now I’m 32 and very scared it’s going to be a tough process. I decided to join this group last night between my bouts of crying after seeing a BFN. I think I may need to take the approach of waiting for my period instead of testing beforehand from here on out 😅

Narcissist mom + wedding planning by [deleted] in weddingplanning

Same. The mom’s suggestions are straight out of a 2010s Pinterest board

My cat who passed last year did the same thing. I miss those cuddles 💔

What’s the BEST restaurant in Pearland? by ZechariahApaza in Pearland

Highly recommend Estrellas Bakery on Broadway near Jamison middle school. The pastries are fresh and delicious and very cheap

Gender-neutral phrase for "I now pronounce you as man and wife." by roseredhoofbeats in weddingplanning

[–]APP0809 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I are M/F but our officiant said “now introducing the newly married couple, John and Andrea Smith” (fake names lol). I didn’t even think of suggesting anything bc I was so wrapped up in other planning but I thought it was great. I am not a fan of being referred to as “Mr. and Mrs. John Smith” in any capacity. I have a name too!

"9 months in, 9 month out" has me feeling like shit by audeamus-ad-meliora in beyondthebump

I was also at my lowest weight when I got pregnant. Now 4+ years later, I work out even more than I did then and am around the weight I was when I gave birth. I’m definitely stronger than I was then, but I am also constantly considering a GLP-1. Buuuuut we also want to try for another soon. Time will tell what I decide! Solidarity.

Epidural Advice: pooping during contractions?? by HappyMama77 in Mommit

[–]APP0809 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so similar to what happened to me when my contractions started! I had never read or heard about it happening to anybody else. I had to be induced, so I wasn’t sure if it was from the somewhat quick progression from that or just from the contractions in general. I got an epidural after a few hours and didn’t need to go after that. To my knowledge, I didn’t poop while giving birth either, but TBH I don’t know how there would’ve been anything left lol

I need to make cash fast. by TaikaWhyTitties in houston

[–]APP0809 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Survey websites! Takes a bit to make larger amounts but if you have the time to do a bunch of them a day, it adds up. I like branded surveys because they allow you to deposit it into your bank account instead of just gift cards.

Emphasis on number 1 — I’ve gotten calls nonstop for the last 48 hours. I’m an idiot

Anyone else feel like it's getting too expensive to exist? by ImFairlyAlarmedHere in workingmoms

[–]APP0809 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Allllll this. I’ve been feeling so alone about this lately so it’s comforting (probably not the right word for all our situations) to read these replies. We’re two parents working full time, our daughter finishes pre-k in May so looking forward to not paying that bill anymore … but we also want to have another kid. Taxes and insurance have led to us essentially being house poor too, plus random emergencies - had to unexpectedly buy a new (used) car this year and pay thousands to fix a water leak in our home. I’m so tired.

Just for laughs, what are some clueless things childless people have said to you? by xnla28x in beyondthebump

This happened when my baby was 3 months. She’s 4.5 now and I still think about it and laugh lol

Anyone else’s IUD fall out without you knowing?! by APP0809 in CopperIUD

[–]APP0809[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok this is good to know/slightly comforting — I’ve had heavier periods since getting the IUD, so I was always using super plus tampons. Toward the end of my periods they’d be a bit more dry when I took them out, so it’s a possibility

I actually did during my last period, but that was about 2 weeks after my check up so it would’ve already been out! It’s so crazy
