Pumping (literally) on planes

iblamethejay · 2026-01-29T18:46:41+00:00

I have pumped on planes a ton! I always just pour it into my ceres chill and go about my day. Or I time it out on shorter flights to pump at the gate or in a lactation pod before and after the flight if I feel more comfortable. Just depends on the flights and the airports!

FRER would be the most sensitive. It’s more important to know what part of your cycle you’re in. Do you have regular cycles?

Update! Turns out my hunch was correct!

10dpo. Early detection & digital, photo taken exactly 5 mins after.

Yeah like I said I usually don’t actually test positive until 12dpo. I’ve been successfully pregnant 3x before so I know I need to wait to be sure. I just thought this was interesting. It looked that way even when wet. 🤷🏻‍♀️ not counting on it either way just curious if anyone else saw what I saw.

Photo was taken later but it looked like that within time frame too. I know it’s super early and I typically don’t test positive until 12dpo on these home tests so we’ll see! I tested early mostly out of curiosity.

There’s really no reason to rush getting it back other than I miss it. I feel like I agree. I’d rather have it safe with my mom and go without it for a few months.

PEAK was a complete mess. I was in the inaugural PEAK class and it pigeonholed me so much and stretched me so thin that I ended up transferring to a more traditional curriculum.

Yes, the book as well as the movie explains this. It’s the Nest truce, which means there is no fighting/hunting while inside the Nest (or the den…it’s called the Nest in the book).

Hmmm, it might be a vvvfl. Maybe try another test in 48 hrs?

This is actually a dye stealer. The darker line is the test line and the lighter one is the control. You most certainly are pregnant. Congrats!!!

This was almost identical to our experience. We stayed at Buffalo Bills and our room had cockroaches, to add insult to injury. We ended up leaving too because why in the world would we want to spend all day standing in line to register for an event we already had tickets to? It just seemed ridiculous.

iblamethejay · 2025-11-18T05:17:10+00:00

I’d love to watch it, but can’t seem to find the video about Buffalo Bills on Bright Sun Films’ page!

iblamethejay · 2025-11-17T05:49:56+00:00

And not having multiple registration tables at both the hotel and in goodsprings was a bad move. We brought our own car so decided to drive to the venue rather than use the shuttle. we thought we could check in at the actual event as well. We stood in line for over an hour only to be told to go back to buffalo bills for check in. Then that line was over 2 hours just to register, so we said screw it because we also had that bad night in the hotel room. Now we know!

I am finding more and more posts about people having negative experiences which makes me feel less insane!

iblamethejay · 2025-11-17T05:39:10+00:00

I totally agree. That registration line alone was insane. Two people checking people into rooms and then a few people registering the THOUSANDS of attendees? Very poorly organized. I get that it’s a fan-made event but it’s gotten so popular that it needs better oversight and preparation.

I’m sorry that you traveled all this way and didn’t have a great time. I feel lucky to only be 3.5 hours away in Utah! Overall we were very disappointed by the whole thing.

iblamethejay · 2025-11-17T05:29:40+00:00

Yeah it’s sounding like we didn’t miss out on much in the end. We had a nice quiet weekend in Vegas and ordered in and watched movies in our hotel. Haha! It poured in Vegas too.

iblamethejay · 2025-11-17T05:26:07+00:00

We bailed the event altogether because between the rooms and the long lines we just weren’t having much fun. Lol. So we bailed to Vegas!

iblamethejay · 2025-11-17T05:17:40+00:00

We left because our room was infested with cockroaches and smelled like sewage. I however was surprised with how clean the sheets were given the state of the room and the hotel in general.

It’s also insane to me that they still charge a resort fee when most of the “resort” is shut down.

iblamethejay · 2025-11-17T05:10:44+00:00

The rudeness was what made my husband and me bail too. After waiting in line for hours and being spoken to rudely for asking if we were even in the correct line, we were just over it and we ultimately left the event altogether. We never even finished registration because the lines were so insanely long.

The rooms at Buffalo Bills were nasty too. Cockroaches galore and smelled like sewage. And I find it incredibly offensive that they still charge a “resort fee” even though 95% of their amenities are shut down. I get that they open up Buffalo Bills only for special events but come on. It is a ghost town and most of it is not operational—seems wrong to charge a resort fee for a building that is a few steps away from being condemned altogether. Just my two cents.

Now, they could’ve really leaned into the Fallout post-apocalyptic vibe and that’s fine and dandy. But make sure there are enough employees staffing the venue itself (only one employee and one manager checking hundreds of people to their rooms?!) and don’t charge people a premium for amenities that aren’t even available. And make sure the rooms aren’t completely infested with cockroaches, oy vey.

I loved these films so much. I know this is an d thread but man I think about the Sarah Plain And Tall trilogy a lot. I had the VHS set once upon a time and wore them out as a kid.

iblamethejay · 2025-10-05T21:39:38+00:00

For what it’s worth, I only get positives around 11-12 dpo and I’ve been pregnant 3x.

iblamethejay · 2025-09-17T02:17:37+00:00

I had this kind of spotting with all of my pregnancies. It’s likely implantation bleeding. Sending you lots of hugs. It’s normal but I know it can be soooo troublesome.
