I may be sitting in my robe watching Birth Day on the Discovery Life channel balling because I have all the feels right now. Nevermind that I have to leave for work in 15 minutes and I don't even have underwear on yet.

FFFC: I have one FRER left, which I have been saving for this weekend so I know the line will be dark enough to show up in a picture.
I'm at 22dpo and I peed on my 5th wondfo in 12 days today. The positive line is now exactly as dark as the control line and I did a happy dance. MH is doing a good job of pretending I'm not crazy.

Oh I have peed on a wondfo everyday since I got my BFP, I may stop or slow down soon. H already knows I'm crazy. I have just been saving the FRER for photo purposes. I want to take a picture of the chalkboard and pee stick thing I did to tell H i was pregnant, but I got the line wasn't dark enough to show up in the picture. The wondfos don't look as good in pictures. Also I have no plans for this picture, I just want it.

Edit: super hooray for the really dark line!!!!
This is why I TCF. A community of women who are smart, hilarious, and agree that sometimes you need to do things like pee on all of the sticks BECAUSE OF REASONS.

I totally plan on peeing on something when I get home.
I want to POAS but it got to the point where I was sneaking them in the house, hoping DH wouldn't notice. He totally thinks I'm insane for taking numerous tests. His last comment of, "How many have you taken?" left me in tears and pouting, "You just don't get it..." So yeah...I'm not going to keep spending money on tests, even though I desperately want to.

My best friend has been saying she will leave her husband for at least 4 months. She has also been having an emotional affair with a coworker for those 4 months. After about 10 false alarms, she finally left him last weekend. This weekend she is going on a trip to coworker's cabin with a group of people. I think she's being trashy and unprofessional (and told her as much) and I am afraid this will ruin our friendship.
FFFC: I ordered myself a 4th beta online from our local lab. It was worth the 30 dollars. MH things I am crazy, and would probably prefer that I keep peeing on sticks.
In my defense, I have no symptoms and it is freaking me out.
Other than being hungry ALL THE TIME, I have no symptoms either. It's weird but it's still early.

That seems reasonable for $30. It's not like it was 300.

If she's that kind of person is she really someone you want to remain friends with?

Honestly, a multi-pack of FRERs or CBDs, will run you close to $30, so I say go for it!
FFC: I save my pee sticks. I know this is probably crazy, and completely unscientific (especially after they dry completely), but I like to compare my lines. My husband thinks it's disgusting. PGAL brain makes you do crazy things.

peachesncream, I guess for me it would depend on a lot of other factors about her and your relationship with her. How long has she been your best friend? Is there a pattern of disrespectful behavior to you and/or others? Is this a temporary thing where she's going through a tough time and really needs someone to stick by her and see her through her mistakes? Does she ask for or accept advice from you or others? Has she stood by you when you did dumb stuff?
One of my best friends made some poor decisions like this when we were about 25 and she was in a rough place in her career and her relationship. She asked for advice but didn't take it, and it was a hard year. However, I never regret standing by her because we've been friends since we were kids and she emerged from that time stronger and took responsibility for all of it. It was not a pattern of behavior for her, nor has anything similar happened since. Our friendship is something I treasure, and I'm glad I didn't write her off just because she made a few mistakes during a bad time.
Another good friend who I'd only known for 3 years pulled shit like this constantly for the last year or more of our friendship. Meanwhile, she never really supported me when I had an issue. She's no longer a part of my life. It was a pattern and it was bone-deep in her personality, not an anomaly or a rough time in her life.

I still have all my pee sticks, except the digital because it died. They are sitting on a shelf in my bathroom closet. I like to look at them from time to time, weird?
I guess this isn't that weird because there are at least 3 of us. Lol. I like to put the one from yesterday next to today's as it dries so I can make sure it gets darker.

tl;dr It depends.
She's been there for me so much. We were coworkers when I got laid off at 7 months pregnant. She is my go-to babysitter. Honestly her husband was a real asshole - they had separated once before but she was too afraid to be alone to leave him again. I am THRILLED she is now without him. All of her other friends are encouraging this coworker relationship. I am just going to keep trying to be as honest as I can with her and I am going to refuse to be around her and coworker together. I don't have many friends that stuck by after DD was born (I used to be kind of a party girl, all my friends without kids still are except this friend). If it gets to the point where her and coworker are together then I might have a major problem.
tl;dr she's an amazing friend and this is incredibly uncharacteristic of her.

I threw out the pee stick from my pregnancy with DD last week.
I can't get into the randoms threads. We never did them on TD and they seem pointless and weird.
Huh. We definitely had a randoms thread on my BMB on TD...
My BMB here has it and I feel the same way. My BMB on TD had a mass Facebook exodus around month 5 or 6. It might have started on TD after then but I wasn't around for it.
I don't remember TTGP on TD ever having it either. Those were the two boards where I was most active.

Is there a reason you'd always be opposed to their relationship? (Is he a jerk, etc) Or you just think she should wait awhile if she's going to be with him because it's disrespectful to her marriage, given that she was flirting with him for so long before?

Honestly a lot of it is personal discomfort. The three of us used to share an office at work. I got laid off and then all of a sudden things got romantic between them. It's weird. He's a weird guy. I think he's gonna be super clingy/creepy. He's looking for a new job so they can pursue a relationship - in the meantime, he postponed his trip to Hawaii and rescheduled it for this fall on the off chance that they might be dating by then and she could join him. The whole thing just gives me all the weird creepy vibes - like a stage five clinger haha.
Also I am just selfish. She has been hanging out with him at least 3-4 days outside of work for a month or two (in a group setting, they have a volleyball team, play tennis, etc.) and I hardly ever see her anymore. I told her that hurt me, too.

Oh, okay, I was just curious. I think if you've communicated your discomfort, my advice would be to stick by her, especially if she's otherwise been a great friend to you and this is atypical behavior. This relationship may crash and burn, and she will need you! And if it doesn't, you may slowly get more used to him, especially if she doesn't change and stays a great friend to you. Good luck with it! I hope you get to spend some QT with her soon.

This makes you seem like a stage five clinger.
I see my BFF 2 days a month maybe and she only lives 15 minutes away. That's life. It doesn't mean our friendship is falling apart. Our schedules hardly ever match up and when she does have a second off she likes to spend it with her BF.

Dude, if I had that option I'd totally do it. Somehow I can justify that rather than the pee sticks, because SCIENCE!

I thought I was the only one who did that. I have 3 hidden under the sink in the bathroom. I look at them almost everyday, as if somehow they might change to neg? Ironically, the original pee stick that I got my BFP with was digital so it died and I didn't keep it.
