Steps to Avoiding Responsibility - Part 5

[Steps_to_STFU]

Ooo I think they're back to monitoring comments before they post. I have a few burners and commented with one I never used and it is not showing up. But at least they will have to read it

Doctor's Visit about Second Pregnancy.... THERE IS NO SECOND PREGNANCY YOU FUCKWITS!!!!!

I swear shes taking a page out of Ellie's book, calling a period a fucking miscarriage.

If the dr did zero test and no exam (yes she was rushed bc of the patient going into labor) then she KNOWS THERE IS ZERO CHANCE YOU ARE PREGNANT!

Maybe i'm just superstitious, but there is no way in hell i would be goofing around claiming infertility and putting that bad karma out there.... they are just asking for some cosmic payback.

Omg Kelsey is truly a moron. That is all.

Sound ls like the midwife gave her really good info, and it’s all the stuff people here were saying. Track ovulation and make sure things are working as they should. It’s likely the body adjusting post-IUD. But it also could be a hormone imbalance, so she offered to test progesterone levels. (Kelsey would need to know her usual cycle length and ovulation day to make a progesterone test worthwhile, but clearly that’s too much trouble.)

She’s so dense, I think it’s very likely the IUD thing was explained to her previously and she just didn’t listen. It’s like she heard that Paragard was “non-hormonal” and just assumed there would be no change or adjustment period. There are literally hundreds of resources out there. They started the pregnancy clickbait way before she even got her IUD out, and now they’re acting like she should be pregnant right away.

How can Kelsey still not feel better about it? Because she didn’t get the answer she wanted? It sounds like the midwife explained everything to her correctly, in addition to offering her advice on TTC and investigating any potential problems. Kelsey clearly learned nothing from this. How can she say that she didn’t get answers? The midwife didn’t do an exam or give you a blood test that day because you weren’t getting a positive pregnancy test at home. Dying at Kelsey’s frustration over this. Was she expecting the midwife to order a beta hCG test for someone who never got a positive home pregnancy test?

Right! I think she actually thought she was pregnant and sfe was expecting the midwife to treat her so delicately because of "the pregnancy" and the midwife was probably like "uhhhh, you're fine. Go read a book because you're clueless about fertility. Talk to me when you have a real issue." I think these 2 are really stupid. I truly think K thought she was pregnant. And now that she's not after 2 months, she's probably crying "why me!!! Life is so unfair! Infertility is so hard!!!!" makes me want to give her a good kick to the vagina!!!!

Did the midwife really suggest the exact same book as someone in the comments?? In fact, everything the "midwife" suggested were things mentioned in the comments. Did she even really see anyone?? Or is she just spitting out things she read in the comments and using the "midwife visit" as clickbait?

I dunno, Kelsey is pretty dumb. What kind of exam or test did she want the midwife to do? I seriously don't understand K's confusion about this. Just a week before Christmas they were sure she wasn't pregnant and they said they weren't going to worry...now she thinks she was pregnant and she's freaking out daily??? Huh?! They are going to lose a ton of viewers if they keep this crap up.

OK, so if it takes an average of about 6 months to get pregnant, then I vote they can't use another damn baby clickbait title until May!

Also, why are these FOOLS trying to get pregnant right now?? There is literally no rush. They are homeless and have virtually no income. If I were in their shoes I'd be praying to NOT get pregnant.

I also wanted to point something out to Corbin (since he reads here). If your income is really $10K a month, then why was the "dream house" you looked at out of your budget? It was listed at $270K, which would seem doable for someone with an income of $100,000+ a year. Maybe it's time to quit it with all the obvious lies.

I only just recently started watching this train wreck regularly again, mostly because, at the very least, they still make videos that aren’t directed at children.

I can’t decide if Kelsey believes she is/was pregnant and is just being overly dramatic by going to the midwife, or if they know for sure she’s not pregnant, but they’re desperate for content and willing to waste the midwifes time.

The other possibility is that they know FOR SURE that she IS pregnant, but they’re doing the whole “is she or isn’t she?” drama to drum up views. They don’t have much interesting content, so they can’t afford to hide the midwife calls/appointments, but they also don’t want to do a big pregnancy reveal yet. It would make sense for them to pretend that they don’t know she’s pregnant, perhaps even hint at a loss or chemical pregnancy, and then turn it into a SURPRISE! miracle pregnancy.

Either way, I’m here for this dumpster fire.

And she’s never heard of or read Taking Charge of Your Fertility….and yet they had a “natural” form of birth control for years? Yeah, I think that was just Kelsey playing a guessing game without any real concept of tracking or fertility.

Kelsey is the one who said they have no idea how long it took them to get pregnant with June, and she also stated in that same video from September that until now they’ve “never had to deal with, like, tracking of when’s the right time” so I highly doubt they were doing any NFP. I would be curious to know what her version of "actively preventing" entailed, because all the NFP methods I"m aware of center around tracking ovulation. I personally really do question if she has PCOS or some other hormone imbalance that makes her ovulate more sporadically, have longer cycles, and lighter periods. Not saying that she can’t or won’t get pregnant, clearly that’s not the case. But I also don’t understand how these two morons did their own version of “natural” birth control for years without a pregnancy until June came along, unless something else is at play, especially given the fact that she has repeatedly said her cycles are not regular. Fertility awareness-based methods have around a 25% annual failure rate, and I’m assuming most of those people are actually tracking and have regular cycles.

Especially since they were so surprised to get pregnant as quickly as they did once they started trying. They were seriously expecting it to take longer because they thought they wouldn't actually get pregnant until the van trip was done. At least that was their narrative at the time.

At the VERY least she should have started tracking her cycles with an app like CLUE months and months ago to get some sort of idea what her "normal" is. I'm not even trying to get pregnant and love using CLUE because you can easily track your periods and look back at least a year to see any changes, etc. There really is no excuse for her to not track this stuff when technology makes it so easy.

My guess is that they are just really unorganized in general...and that includes every area of their lives.

[HashtagBlessed]

I love Clue! That’s what I used recently for about three months when I came off the pill prior to TTC, and it was super helpful. I had been on the pill for 10 years...had no idea what normal looked like for me anymore. Within three months of tracking with the app it was very predictable. Super easy.

Yeah, I don’t think she wanted to be pregnant and receiving prenatal care while they were living in a van going from state to state. Never mind the fact that they didn’t even have prenatal health insurance coverage. By their own admission, they had been using a “natural” means of birth control for four years before they got pregnant. And yet had no experience tracking ovulation. Unless they think condoms count as “a natural means of birth control”? Hell, probably more “natural” than a copper IUD. She didn’t seem to realize that the copper IUD still changes the biochemistry of the body. But why not just say you’re using a barrier method? A “natural means” is just such odd wording. Anyway, anyone’s guess is as good as mine! I’m slightly curious to see if the midwife ends up finding any hormonal issues, because what Kelsey has said in the past just made no sense to me. But what else is new?

I'm guessing their version of natural planning was the pull out method! No joke. I bet that's all they did! And you're absolutely right, they know nothing about tracking and fertility.

Haha! Oh my gosh you're probably right. How did I not realize that?

[spiralstatic]

I don't think she actually went to see a Midwife.

This is so stupid. If he’s talking about this pregnancy stuff, he’s even more of a doucebag.

Kelsey seemed reticent and like she was hiding something when Corbin asked her about her appointment. I'm thinking it's because she knew she wasn't pregnant and was coerced into seeing a midwife in the hopes of producing lucrative content for the video, or getting a pregnancy test and being able to get another video out of this..."Waiting for pregnancy test results!" Instead the midwife gave her the most basic information that anyone could have found on Google. Now they can't make another video about this "pregnancy" (at least for a few more weeks).

It better not be. They have already talked about the pregnancy stuff 100% more than they ever should have. I can't wait for them to STOP talking about it. LOL!

I'm guessing it's $$$$, YT and Corbin going back to work. Wasn't there something he was supposed to do the same day Kelsey pretended to go see the midwife?? I thought it might be a job interview, but it looked like he was in his PJs all day.

If it's something else, like a sick family member, then SHAME on Corbin for trying to get attention, views and sympathy for private family matters.

Random side note: Did they see Kelsey's dad at all over the holidays?

[Steps_to_STFU]

Omg I hope it is Corbin getting a real job. If it is I will crack the fuck up and rub in on every burner I have that he claimed to be living the life not having to haves real job and we are just jealous.

Oh I think you're on to something. I definitely got the vibe that the phone call to the midwife was completely fake and staged for the camera. It's all so sleezy! These people will go to great lengths to avoid getting real jobs.

Yeah, I'm not sure if Kelsey really is that ignorant and overly dramatic. Or if they're putting on a show to "trick" viewers into watching. The tags/titles alone on those videos are super misleading. There is no pregnancy or announcement. They are definitely being evasive with the lack of any footage from the midwife office and the disjointed timeline.

Personally, I think she really thought she had a reason to go in (which is insane) and Corbin saw an opportunity for clickbait. She had that stupid coy smile when she said the midwife "didn't do any tests"...she's clearly holding on to the delusion. Is it just for vlog content? It's not like she has a lot going on in her life- no home, no job, no money, no friends. I think trying for this second baby is consuming her as a distraction from the shit show that is their life. If something "intense" is going on behind the scenes, it makes it even more puzzling that she would invest so much energy in this non-existent pregnancy. Unless they realize they can't film right now or talk about anything real, so they need a fake storyline to distract their audience.
