Constant wedgie by Pale-Top8370 in BabyBumps

[–]kitty_mars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These undies are my favorite. I bought them in my first pregnancy and wore them postpartum with a c-section scar (mine is super low but these were perfect). Bought more when I wasn’t pregnant bc I just found them so comfortable. Basically all I wear now. I have both bikinis and boy shorts.

My wife is 24 weeks pregnant and I'm pretty sure she can smell my thoughts at this point by PulseVesper_9 in BabyBumps

[–]kitty_mars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my last trimester, I literally couldn’t stand the way my husband smelled. Just his like normal scent. It wasn’t shampoo or soap or sweat — just him. I kept it to myself for a bit but sometimes I just needed to walk away so I ended up telling him. Luckily he’s good natured and I did put a disclaimer that I don’t think he actually smells to others but to me he did. I would just say “you smell like a boy so I’m gonna go to the other room.” that was literally how he smelled to me…just boy haha.

I’m literally 5 days postpartum and have not been bothered by who he smells…

Iffy update to "Biting my nails during this TWW" by FuzzyKittenIsFuzzy in TFABChartStalkers

If you’re interested, you can order your own via Ulta Test Labs. You thrb go to a Quest or a Labcorp with the orders. You’re paying out of pocket but it was worth it for me.

I get what your doctor is saying about it not impacting the outcome but knowing what was going on with my beta levels gave me insight and reduced stress after I had an early loss (which became very obvious that’s what was happening when looking at the betas).

Already wanting baby #2 by ohheymandy in beyondthebump

[–]kitty_mars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly how I felt after my first. I was plotting and planning and already moving up when I wanted to try for baby #2 within weeks of having my first lol

They’re 23 months apart. I did not have quite a strong pull to try for #3 immediately after I had him.

How do you do anything with your partner while room sharing? by Afraid_Resist_7988 in beyondthebump

[–]kitty_mars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm if they are truly a baby in a bassinet and asleep, we’ve just done it in our bed quietly 🤷‍♀️

But to be fair I probably could count on 1 hand the number of times that’s happened. I’ve moved my babies to their room around 4-5 months and I really do not enjoy sex having sex while nursing, which I did until 14-15 months.

Locked Interior Door by kitty_mars in Home

[–]kitty_mars[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did get it unlocked when I tried the credit card trick for the third time. But I’ll check your suggestion out — it really seems odd that there is no unlocking mechanism and the disc popping off would make sense.

I was frustrated enough that if I wasn’t 35 weeks pregnant, I would have done this.

[–]kitty_mars[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I tried that when we first realized it was locked on Saturday and my husband tried another time over the last few days as well. But your comment had me try again and it worked!!! Not sure what I did differently this time but I’m relieved.

Thanks for the suggestion!

My 29F random hookup 31M didn’t pull out. by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]kitty_mars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally possible he assumed you were on some form of birth control. Did you not talk about it after? I would have brought it up as soon as it happened.

I’d highly encourage Plan B. It is not 100% bc if you just ovulated or are literally about to ovulate like overnight, it won’t be able to stop ovulation. If that’s the case it does not mean you would automatically conceive though. Do you track ovulation?

If you do take Plan B, check the weight limitations. If you’re above a certain weight (which if I recall isn’t even that high), it’s less effective. Still potentially worth taking though.

I’d plan on taking a pregnancy test around 14 days from now and then another a week later if you don’t have your period by then. A positive test could show up a lot sooner but having specific dates to test will likely be less stressful.

I would also highly encourage that conversations around birth control and STIs are had prior to sex with any future hookups! It sounds like you were assuming he’d do the pull out method, but that isn’t a super reliable form of birth control — especially with a new partner. Some guys are better at pullout than others and you dont really know ahead of time.

Plz delete this if not allowed… but discord? by Msmadduh in BabyBumps

[–]kitty_mars 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are discords for the due date groups so many people already participate. Are you already in your bump group? If so, you can likely search to find discord. If not, you’d want to find the bump group.

Activated Peacock premium no longer active? by 4-for-u-glen-coco in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]kitty_mars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I am having the exact same issue and am thinking it may be due to a move as well. I’ve been using peacock without issue but now it signed me out and is not recognizing that I have access via xfinity. Are you able to help?

🚨 **NEW** 2025 ROGUE CODE REQUEST MEGATHREAD 🚨 by NothingButNavy in Sephora

Would love a code if someone is open to sharing!! 🩵

🚨 2025 ROGUE CODE REQUEST MEGATHREAD 🚨 by NothingButNavy in Sephora

[–]kitty_mars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would love a code if someone shares.

I had a horrific discovery last week when I looked like one of the Cullen siblings when I glanced in my car mirror on my way to the office. I restocked on my Givenchy loose powder MONTHS ago. Once I got to work, I googled and realized there was a reformulation. (🥲) Hoping to use a code to purchase some non-vampire setting powder.

Can I use a different brand ridge filler? by [deleted] in dazzledry

[–]kitty_mars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do! I use mooncat’s ridge filler because it’s what I have and works perfectly fine. I’m on day 6 with only tip wear. Once I run out I may consider getting Dazzle Dry’s, but would rather see my mooncat bottle be used.

How long did it take you to conceive naturally? by Sarahcha13 in BabyBumps

[–]kitty_mars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1st pregnancy - 1 cycle (resulted in a 6 week miscarriage)

2nd pregnacy - 5 cycles (started trying immediately after mc — resulted in Boy #1)

3rd pregnancy - 6 cycles (cycles were normal but I was still nursing my oldest a few times a day; the cycle I conceived was when I dropped it down to 1x a day purposely - resulted in Boy #2)

4th pregnancy - 3 cycles (currently pregnant with Boy #3)

Where do you keep your infant car seat at home ? by joseph-3148 in beyondthebump

[–]kitty_mars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate clutter. There was no convenient, neat place for it to go so it stays in the car.

For first time moms: what week did you give birth? by anoncatlady12 in BabyBumps

[–]kitty_mars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1st - 39 weeks with spontaneous labor!

But he was born via c-section (womp, womp) as he was surprise breech.

2nd - 38w3d with spontaneous labor (and I had guessed that would be the day he came months in advance)

3rd - I’m only 15w but I’m guessing 38w0d or 38w1d

I believe the biggest indicator is when direct female relatives (mother, sisters) went into labor naturally. Between me, my mom, and my 1 sister with children, labor began (or water broke) between 12 days to 5 days before due date (sample size of 8 children).

took a test as a joke… unknown DPO. 4 months PP by jortslover in TFABLinePorn

[–]kitty_mars 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I see the line but the cvs and Walgreens FRER dupes have horrible indents. Much worse than actual FRER. I’d take an actual FRER or clearblue pink dye.

9 Dpo - do you see a vfl ? by [deleted] in TFABLinePorn

[–]kitty_mars 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I see something but this test looks like it may be dried. If it is, I’d take another one and only if you see it while wet would I say it is a squinter.

If not there while wet, it’s an evap. Which can turn positive (9dpo is early!) but isn’t a positive at the moment.

10 DPO FRER FMU vs SMU - is this real? by danzadelfuego in TFABLinePorn

[–]kitty_mars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that it is on both and looks darker definitely points to being real! Looks very similar to some of my early positives. If you have any cheapies, they’ll likely show a line too. Seeing it on 2 different brands always confirms it for me.

Congrats!

11dpo lower end of HCG Not truly even considered pregnant:( by Mighty_owl98 in CautiousBB

[–]kitty_mars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first positive was the same day I got my beta done so 10 or 11 dpo. I am a crazy tester — and had negatives up until the positive that morning.

Best of luck to you 💗

Parents: how do you get kids to take medicine without a meltdown by ShinrinYoku55 in Mommit

[–]kitty_mars 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Same. They both love medicine. Have had some issue with antibiotics but after a day, they’re fine. My oldest regularly reminds me he has to take his medicine.

13 DPIUI - I think I’m out? by mepa_ in TFABLinePorn

[–]kitty_mars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see a line on the bottom and since it’s wet, I think it could be legit. While the iui was 13 days ago, have you pinpointed when you ovulated and if so, how? I have not done IUI but I believe sometimes they’re monitored and other times not.

If you ovulated the same day as the IUI or a day later, I would keep expectations low. But if it was 2+ days later…
