A somewhat timid hello.

[mrsmechanic]

Good morning.  I was on TTGP, then N14 on TB, but left due to some... erm... differences in the BMB long before being due.  This happened to coincide a bit with the issues with censorship and blah blah blah, so I moved for a few minutes to TCF.  I didn't stay long, though, as I was friends with many folks from TTGP still on Facebook, so we kept in contact that way. 

I had a colposcopy and LEEP in April and May of this year, which led to my IUD being taken out.  Thanks to that and my early ovulation my last cycle, our OAD status has apparently changed.  I had a little trouble accepting it at first, but am able to now bitch at my husband about how he did this to me and I need a fucking shake from BK, right meow

I don't know how often I'll be around, to be honest, but I'm going to give this BMB thing another try.  Thanks for having me

Welcome! It seems to be a pretty good crew here so far (especially my July 15 ladies!), so I hope you have a good experience here. I can only imagine the flood of emotions you're having right now, being pregnant after planning to be OAD. YH definitely needs to get you all the snacks after having done this to you.

Oh, and what's your EDD?

Yeah.  It sounds ungrateful as hell, but it's a serious change of plans.  It's ok, but I'm clinging to the logistical side of things right now.  I'd literally just sold a ton of our stuff the week before finding out we were pregnant on a rummage sale.  So some stuff I have to start over with.  Luckily I kept most of the necessities, including NB cloth diapers and the swing.

My EDD is March 16th by LMP, March 18th by OD.  We hit O-5.  I seriously don't even know how this happened.

I remember you from TTGP! And this may sound weird, but I think I also remember your old avatar or pic in your siggy (was it a wedding pic by an old car? If not, ignore me. If so, I swear I'm not a stalker)

Oh hai! Welcome!

I too was OAD. I still feel that way sometimes, TBH.

A bit like you, only my copper IUD failed while it was correctly placed and well...here I am.

We seem to be a chill bunch.

I feel like an asshole when I admit that I'm not completely thrilled yet.  I'm sure I will be, but there's a lot of change to accept in just a 5 minute pregnancy test.

Why hello twin.

But seriously, 95% of the time I'm not totally thrilled. My Dr. told me I have 35-ish weeks to get used to the idea. This is my second birth control failure though.

I've told DH I'm getting my tubes tied and he's getting a vasectomy. I'm not even kidding.

Depending on specifics, with my cervical dysplasia issues, I may explore similar routes.  Since we were OAD before, I'm pretty certain we're DONE after this.  If I keep have recurring issues, it's gone.  I'm not going to risk my health.

Hi there! I remember you from N14! But apparently I was not aware of the issues- so I'm glad you are giving the BMB another go. Welcome!
