I said thanks, but I was thinking what if I didn't want to be pregnant and she was saying that?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uh-oh-what-do-you-think-the-chances-are#post-147181 Thu, 03 May 2012 20:59:44 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 147181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrstilly: I had really good luck with TCOYF, hopefully you will too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uh-oh-what-do-you-think-the-chances-are#post-147165 Thu, 03 May 2012 20:48:43 +0000 mrstilly 147165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: that sounds sooo awkward! I would have said no too. </p> <p>@Mrs. Jacks: no, right now we can't afford the cost out of pocket. If DH keeps his job, then I'm definitely going back on some kind of birth control. I really want to avoid hormonal birth control, though having some idea of my cycle might be a good first step. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uh-oh-what-do-you-think-the-chances-are#post-146424 Thu, 03 May 2012 15:32:55 +0000 heffalump 146424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrstilly: Once when I bought a test at the grocery store the person remember me the next time I came in and asked if I was pregnant. It was pretty awful. I mean really, I hadn't even told my mom yet, why would I tell her? I lied and said I wasn't, so she said good since I just got married. And then I miscarried, so I was extra glad I didn't tell her, then she'd always ask me about the baby and I'd end up crying in the store! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uh-oh-what-do-you-think-the-chances-are#post-146333 Thu, 03 May 2012 14:37:55 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 146333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrstilly: Can you afford the $700 out of pocket for an IUD? It would be worth every penny! </p> <p>PS At this point I would completely lose it if I were to get pregnant! We are really careful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uh-oh-what-do-you-think-the-chances-are#post-146296 Thu, 03 May 2012 14:21:19 +0000 mrstilly 146296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish we had self checkout here. I had a college age cashier give me a funny look, but thankfully he didn't say anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uh-oh-what-do-you-think-the-chances-are#post-145626 Thu, 03 May 2012 08:40:20 +0000 Andrea 145626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is why they have self check out!! :-D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uh-oh-what-do-you-think-the-chances-are#post-145620 Thu, 03 May 2012 08:35:25 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 145620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel ya. I've had to buy Plan B with a baby in my arms. Ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uh-oh-what-do-you-think-the-chances-are#post-145619 Thu, 03 May 2012 08:35:00 +0000 mediagirl 145619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Penny Lane: haha the same thing would make me giggle when I worked at Walmart as a teenager. Condoms, pregnancy test, diapers and scrapple. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uh-oh-what-do-you-think-the-chances-are#post-145614 Thu, 03 May 2012 08:31:24 +0000 mrstilly 145614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! I did go out and buy condoms and a pack of pregnancy tests. I took one last night, but it was negative. I'm going to wait until next week to test again, since I think it's still really early. </p> <p>I've never charted before. I took birth control pills until the month we started trying. We got pregnant right away, and it was about 10 days before I thought I'd be ovulating, so I really had no clue. My cycle was really erratic for the first few months when it returned and has started to even out over the past months, but I still don't chart or record it. </p> <p>It was just really weird to spot yesterday. It was just once when I used the bathroom and then gone, just like last time I was pregnant. DH and I would welcome a new baby, it just isn't a great time (DH might get cut from his school at the end of the year) and we wanted to have our kids about 3 years apart. I thought about getting an IUD or going back on the pill once I was done nursing, but my current health insurance covers absolutely nothing to prevent pregnancy. I joke that they won't even toss you a condom. It seems weird to me, since they covered 100% of prenatal care and delivery, but unless I switch to my work's coverage (which is more expensive and covers less overall) I can't get any help with birth control. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uh-oh-what-do-you-think-the-chances-are#post-145597 Thu, 03 May 2012 08:18:46 +0000 Lozza 145597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a very similar fear a couple weeks ago (cycle was being funky and AF was late, we're careful but not perfectly so, DS is a year old and we'd like to wait another year before TTC again...) and I tested and was fine, and AF came shortly thereafter. I think it's just SO easy to see any potential signs as impending doom... I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that it's just a fluke! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uh-oh-what-do-you-think-the-chances-are#post-145591 Thu, 03 May 2012 08:15:43 +0000 heffalump 145591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make DH buy all the embarrassing stuff like that :) Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uh-oh-what-do-you-think-the-chances-are#post-145589 Thu, 03 May 2012 08:14:02 +0000 LivsMama 145589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL I checked out last week with Conceptrol gel and tests too. Luckily they had a self checkout so I did that. I had to giggle to myself though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uh-oh-what-do-you-think-the-chances-are#post-145566 Thu, 03 May 2012 07:49:34 +0000 LuLu Mom 145566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uh-oh-what-do-you-think-the-chances-are#post-145543 Thu, 03 May 2012 07:15:43 +0000 chopsuey 145543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrstilly: I got pregnant right after LO's 1st birthday! I'm still nursing too! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uh-oh-what-do-you-think-the-chances-are#post-145513 Thu, 03 May 2012 02:10:09 +0000 Penny Lane 145513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hehe, when I worked at a supermarket one of the most common things I saw people checkout with at night was condoms, pregnancy test (normally a three pack) and some alcohol. Made me lol every time.</p> <p>Have you tested yet?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uh-oh-what-do-you-think-the-chances-are#post-145502 Thu, 03 May 2012 00:53:41 +0000 Boogs 145502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go somewhere that you can do self checkout! Lol Were you able to test yet? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uh-oh-what-do-you-think-the-chances-are#post-145487 Thu, 03 May 2012 00:00:50 +0000 Mrs. Blue 145487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eek! Do you have any idea how many days in you normally ovulate? I don't ovulate until around day 13 or 14, but TCOYF says that sperm can live for about 3 days, so I would say it could very well be possible. How many days until AF is due?</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uh-oh-what-do-you-think-the-chances-are#post-145245 Wed, 02 May 2012 18:31:18 +0000 mrstilly 145245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok, so DS is 13 months old. DH and I do not want another baby right now, plus SIL is ttc and I don't want to steal her thunder.</p> <p>Almost 2 weeks ago, the day after AF left, DH and I got busy and weren't as careful as we usually are. AF lasted about 8 days. Today out of the blue I spotted. My cycles have somewhat evened out after returning when DS was 4 months old. I don't spot, never have, except when I was pregnant last time. </p> <p>What do you think the chances are I'm pregnant? Last time my breasts got sore too, and this time they aren't. I'm creaking and don't have any tests at home. Can't run out until DS goes to bed. </p> <p>Also, how weird will it be to check out with condoms and a pregnancy test? </p>
