Another thing, for those who have used preseed how were your O, i had the most intense O the last 2 nights i've used it, wow!

[iluvmyman]

I wish I know 'maybe' because of the supps. :hair:

That's what I'm blaming.

[iluvmyman]

I am afraid this ttc thing with doggy all the time is going to convert my DH into an ONLY doggy guy. Yikes. (I had a boyfriend back in college who would only be hard if that was the case.) I guess I'll just have to lay down the law.

You are kidding about your college beau! Wow, I think I would start to get a complex....why don't you want to look at me :(. LOL! I think my DH doesn't like having to do that postion but then again I've heard no complaints. :)

Sorry about your ex. I know you know this, but I can garuntee his life isn't perfect and in front of you they will always put their best face forward.

[iluvmyman]

OK, this is CD17 for me and still bleeding. I put a tampon in this morning and I think AF decided so start on CD15 instead of O. WTH. We dtd on CD12 and I did have a too light of a line but very visable line on CD12 or CD13 (I forget when I posted about it) but when i got home at 5p.m., it was completely white negative and has been white negative since. Minus 2 days of very light test lines w/ 2nd Morning Urine only.

We dtd the dance last night but I'm calling it. This sucks!! I feel like I've wasted several months of ttc w/ these supps when I would've been better off on my own. DH told me yes in the beginning of March.

I take folic acid, zinc, B12, Fish Oil, Vitamin E, green tea extract and fertilecm, mucinex, URAL. I'm thinking about cutting out the fertilecm and anything else do you think like Green tea? I'm so dissapointed and this is total BS. I shouldn't have messed with what wasn't broken. :( I haven't been happy with the CM i've gotten for several cycles anyway.

What do you think? I really wanted to be pregnant by now. I'm gonna be nowhere near the time I gave birth to DS2.

[iluvmyman]

I guess my urine was diluted yesterday when i did the opk & got a negative because i've just tested today & it's +. So here's wot we've done, Wed opk+, 4 days abstinence so dtd, Thurs dtd again although i had - opk (urine diluted) & today opk +. My temps havent gone up but will probably tomorrow. Should i dtd again today?

I'm a bit bummed because the false negative test yesterday threw me off, if i had known it would be positive today i'd have waited 48hrs & dtd today. Well what's done is done, just waiting for ovulation confirmation. Cramps here & there nothing too strong

You got right around it either way, right. I would think you are doing good, but I know NOTHING. :)

[3Pink1Blue]

MFC - AF with no O, I'm frustrated for you :worry:

Lola - My dh isn't a fan of doggy. He knows it doesn't do much for me, it's easy to hurt me and it's sort of a "let's get this over with" pity sex kinda position lol He'd much rather watch :wink:
On Kahrma, dh's bro and wife have always been arrogant. He walks around telling anyone who who listen how much money he makes and she talks about their "perfect family" with one boy and one girl knowing we want a boy. Well Januaryish of last year he lost his job, he works construction and has had to do piece work and borrow tons of money from her parents so they don't lose their house ever since. I don't like to admit it but it's nice to see certain people knocked off their high horse.

Baby - are you sure it's the pre-seed and not the diet creating a more fantastic O? The longer I've been on the diet the more amazing they've become, thank you testosterone.

Iluv - sorry this is so frustrating for you, have you talked to your Dr about this screwyness?

[iluvmyman]

Iluv - sorry this is so frustrating for you, have you talked to your Dr about this screwyness?

I don't know that there's a point until I stop some supps. Maybe if it doesn't change. I'm thinking the FertileCM s/b the only supps that I take that should be messing w/ me like this. This just has never been an issue before.

Starting your AF 10 days after the last one is such crap either way. I broke out for 3 weeks and was so hormonal now starting again. It's just so wrong. :)

[3Pink1Blue]

Is this the first month things have been goofy? Sorry I don't remember:oops:

[My Fabulous Children]

I'm just praying to get it as close to 7 as I can if that is at all possible?

Yes you can mine was 7.0 with my last sway.

[My Fabulous Children]

It is so disgusting! I have to chug it with my nose pinched. Ugh!

That's what I do too :hair:

[LolaInLove]

They say being sick lower your pH, it could be from illness, GL on checking again, but 6.4 is good too.

:agree: Skip it if you can deal with letting this month go.

[LolaInLove]

I guess my urine was diluted yesterday when i did the opk & got a negative because i've just tested today & it's +. So here's wot we've done, Wed opk+, 4 days abstinence so dtd, Thurs dtd again although i had - opk (urine diluted) & today opk +. My temps havent gone up but will probably tomorrow. Should i dtd again today?

L, do it again!!! Keep going, catch that egg, girl!

[iluvmyman]

No, my March cycle was messed up too w/ 2 AF's coming too close to each other. I thought my body was still changing from giving birth to DS2 and last cycle was perfect. I have to assume my March cycle was messed up from supps too. I'm having heavy flow right now just like normal AF so I doubt there's anything but AF going on here. This AF is typical of normal except for the timing of it.

[3Pink1Blue]

It's highly possible you're still evening out from delivering but if it happens again I'd call your dr. I'm not a dr person but I'm crazy about keeping my reproductive system healthy.

[iluvmyman]

I just read some reviews from early pregnancy test.com where someone said that their cycles got messed up from FertileCm and this was the Merchant Response:

"Thank you for your comments. Just want to note that there are no ingredients in FertileCM that exert a hormonal influence, so ovulation/menstruation should not be affected by its usage."

THen what the heck else could it be!

[My Fabulous Children]

OK, this is CD17 for me and still bleeding. I put a tampon in this morning and I think AF decided so start on CD15 instead of O. WTH. We dtd on CD12 and I did have a too light of a line but very visable line on CD12 or CD13 (I forget when I posted about it) but when i got home at 5p.m., it was completely white negative and has been white negative since.

What do you think? I really wanted to be pregnant by now. I'm gonna be nowhere near the time I gave birth to DS2.

WTH?!! That's so crazy right? I can't believe what's happening here, so sorry girl. I feel exactly the same way I've wasted almost a year of ttc w/these supps. I feel so sorry for my self :(. I'm not happy with my CM either. It's gotton worst since my m/c.

I would cut down fertilecm and maybe green tea. Did you concieved your sons with swaying? If not then I won't sway, maybe just light sway, but that's just me I think you have a good chance to concieve a son again. I concieved my son with swaying I know without I will easy have another girl, but since I got my DS I would sway, but not hard.

Again I'm so sorry this is happening to you-hugs!

[LolaInLove]

Princess, hope this is it for you also....and you Babydes, I think you are fine but like I said earlier, I'd maybe do one more try tonight to seal the deal. And hey, if you are having a good time (thanks to testosterone and preseed!), they why not, eh?

Thanks for lifting my spirits about this ex baby thing. I think you gals are right, I just want to see something NOT go right for them, but that is a really crappy karma thing on my part. And they probably have a terrible marriage, I cannot imagine any woman being happy with him, he is a miserable crazy-maker. I literally almost went totally crazy until I finally realized that if I stayed with him, it would only be a matter of years before I was completely depressed and an alcoholic or something....and I didn't want that for my baby girls either, so I split. Anyway, he just continually jabs me at every opportunity. My current DH wants to SLAY him, but I tell him it's my battle and he didn't sign up for that, just for me and the girls when we got married.

Anywhoooooo......ok, SEX topic again......TTC5, I wish my DH wanted to do that. I am actually having a hard time getting him to try new things. I am afraid to damage his ego for many reasons, but I have told him that he needs to step it up in learning how to make me O. I used to do what Spicy did with others pre-DH (and even ex-DH) where while dtd, either he or I would help myself out. But current DH doesn't know, I don't think he's had a woman be like, "Ok, buddy, here's the deal, SOMEONE has to work this thing here or I'm not happy." Once he's back in town, we are going to work on this, because with ttc for the last 9 months and all, our sex life has not progressed like it should. I may go to the sex toy store after work and see what they have that might be enticing. But this is the only way we can make things more spicy, is to communicate and try new stuff, so I say go for it TTC5 and just don't be inhibited, it will probably be AMAZING!

Iluv, girl, I would post a thread on the ttc forum here about your bleeding in hopes that Atomic will answer.....I don't think it's possible to have AF 2 weeks early, but I don't know.....that makes me a little worried for you. You know, if you recall from her threads, she was pg with twins and lost one, which she thought was AF, then thought she was back to square one when the other twin was still doing well. I know you said you had a negative hpt, so that is likely not the case, but do post your issue because the collective wisdom on this site will definitely help!

TTC5, so sorry you are sick! I would not hesitate at all to do the vapor rub and steam. I don't know if you plan to still attempt this month in lieu of being sick, but if you do, just don't take any cold meds that dry you up! I REALLY don't put much stock in ions and moon phase and all that stuff, because like 3pnb, I would have boys. I don't disregard it completely, like, it makes me happy when it lines up for a boy now when we attempt, but I don't hold off because of it. I hope you feel better, hun! How's your momma?

[LolaInLove]

MFC, SOOOOO sorry you had an effed up cycle!!! Do you think it was the supps? I am going to go check out your successful sway for your DS.....hope your weight loss is doing well also. Still not on Atkins, just dealing one day at a time this week. I swear, every time my DH goes out of town for work, the worst shit ever happens. Last time was during my horrid m/c a month ago! But, I am a little freaked of the Atkins now that I saw Atomic say it can sway girl because of the low blood sugar issues. I think I'm just gonna keep up with my Metabolife and tiny appetite this month and see how it turns out. I'll even take a 5 lb loss, better than nothing. Are you going to the dr anytime about your cycle or just seeing what happens? I'm so sorry, hun, that is very irritating.....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrr

[My Fabulous Children]

I just read some reviews from early pregnancy test.com where someone said that their cycles got messed up from FertileCm and this was the Merchant Response:

"Thank you for your comments. Just want to note that there are no ingredients in FertileCM that exert a hormonal influence, so ovulation/menstruation should not be affected by its usage."

THen what the heck else could it be!

fertilecm contains L'arg, maybe that's why.

[iluvmyman]

WTH?!! That's so crazy right? I can't believe what's happening here, so sorry girl. I feel exactly the same way I've wasted almost a year of ttc w/these supps. I feel so sorry for my self :(. I'm not happy with my CM either. It's gotton worst since my m/c.

Again I'm so sorry this is happening to you-hugs!

Thanks MFC, I know you've been through your fair share w/ the sway. I did email my Dr. although, I think he's gonna give me some canned response back and tell me to stop everything and call him in a year. Maybe he'll be nice though. :) I felt like an idiot telling him I've been changing my diet to ttc boy. He's not an alternative kind of guy so we'll see what he says.

Debating about the supps. I think I'll start w/ the fertilecm and green tea. The rest should be nbd. Thanks, I'm an emotional cry baby today. :)

[LolaInLove]

fertilecm contains L'arg, maybe that's why.

That is exactly why. FertileCM not only made me O about 4 days late, but also DRIED ME UP something fierce, the, um, total opposite effect it is supposed to have.

[iluvmyman]

Iluv, girl, I would post a thread on the ttc forum here about your bleeding in hopes that Atomic will answer.....I don't think it's possible to have AF 2 weeks early, but I don't know.....that makes me a little worried for you.

GL w/ DH on the bedroom scene. Sounds like you know what you want and what you're doing just bringing it up in a loving on non-u suck kind of way. :)

Thanks Lola, I posted an Ovulation bleeding thread plus a little something on her sticky about it so hopefully she'll see it and maybe have some thoughts. I emailed my Dr. too but we'll see. This flow is just like my normal. 2 days of not too much then 3-4 days of really heavy then 1-2 days of very light old blood. Day 3 is heavy. I'll take an OPK later but it's can't be anything but AF. IDK.

[iluvmyman]

fertilecm contains L'arg, maybe that's why.

I forgot about that and yes, it does. I've read that L'arg can affect cycles.

[iluvmyman]

That is exactly why. FertileCM not only made me O about 4 days late, but also DRIED ME UP something fierce, the, um, total opposite effect it is supposed to have.

I was questioning it anyway since I haven't been happy with my CM since I started it but I was thinking maybe I was crazy and it wasn't the FertileCM. I'm stopping it today and we'll see what happens.

[princessap]

thanks Lola....I already feel like I am out this month. I am crampy today and I am only 4dpo so maybe af will be early. It sucks not getting pregnant.

Iluv. sorry to hear u are having issues. I was having bleeding every two weeks for a bit and my Ob said it was either stress or my body adjusting from my loss and d&c. It sucks when things dont go as planned. Hope your
dr gives you some answers.

who is in tww??

[3Pink1Blue]

I'm 7dpo and feeling a bfn coming on too Princess. We are two gloomy gus's this month :sad:

[iluvmyman]

I'm 7dpo and feeling a bfn coming on too Princess. We are two gloomy gus's this month :sad:

I remember w/ DD2 I was complaining to DH that I didn't get a BFP cuz I felt super super pms crabby and I pitched a fit. But I was in fact pregnant and hormonal from that, so you never know. I felt the same way last month when I got a BFN around DPO 7 though and called it at DPO 11. I sure hope someone gets a BFP. I got chills when I read someone's BFP on 2ww from the girl camp. It can happen just not to this wonderful group of ladies. There's still hope!

[iluvmyman]

I lost our son almost 6 months ago so I would be shocked but you never know. Last month was just so right on. I've been reading that it can be due to stress and diet too. I might just have to really re-evaluate my sway and maybe go light. I really want a bfp too. But I dropped the fertilecm today.

[Tink18]

well, I don't even know what to say seems like everyone is going through it. I would just like to say I hope come June we all get everything we are looking for and June starts off more positive.

Maybe this will start the positive vibe. The past few weeks were the scariest weeks of my life. A few weeks ago I went to the doctor because I wasn't feeling good. I had all kinds of blood work done, and then my Doctor feels my left breast and he finds a lump. He asks me if I had a mammogram before, I say no. He said do you have family history of Breast cancer. I said yes, 3 aunts have passed, my grandma and great grandma. He ordered and immediate mammogram. I am 29, apparently the youngest mammogram done in my doctors office ever. I waited 2 weeks for my result, when it came back negative I was obviously so happy. But I can still go in for genetic testing, they can find out if I am a carrier of the gene and I have options if I want. But What and eye opener at 29. I am very thankful for my life right now and what I have. Hugs to you all. xxoo

[princessap]

Iluv....we lost our son in October and my cycles were normal and then went crazy. My OB
said that after a loss it can take a while for
cycles to normalize again. My OB is against supplements and meds which arent necessary as i had asked for
clomid to straighten them out. Maybe it will just take some time. I have never taken supplements and actually dont agree with it (but lots of women on her do). i only take folic acid and conceived our son before so
dont think they are necessary to get a boy (again just my personal opinion). I have seen lots in my nursing experience and it just isnt something I am comfortable with. We all have to do what we are comfortable with. I am comfortable with just doing diet and will be happy with boy or girl. I just really want to be pregnant. We all have to
do what we are comfortable with. We are in such similar places in our lives, you and I, and I hope it all works out for both of us!

Jen, we are gloomy gus's this month. Maybe we are preparing ourselves so
we wont be disappointed with a
BFN.

I am emotional this week too so really thinking AF is going to show up early. I actually
didnt use OPks this month but pretty sure I am 4dpo.

Good luck to those girls in 2ww. who is
close to testing?? We need some BFPs on here soon!!!

Hope it all works out for you!! We are in such similar places right now that one of us needs a BFP soon!!

[iluvmyman]

Really puts things into perspective, huh. Sorry you went through that scare but so glad you are OK and they will watch you closely. Hopefully June will be a good month for all!

[princessap]

Tink. sorry you went through that and had to wait two weeks for results. Glad everything went went and fingers crossed for bfp for you soon!

[iluvmyman]

Thanks Princess! I think I'm way scared too since we are supposed to get the results of our autopsy as soon as maybe next week but still not sure. They said they would get to his results "next" and to call back if we haven't gotten a letter as of next Wed. I told DH last night that I was afraid if we didn't get a BFP before the results then he might tell me no again. And he just nodded like it was a possibility. It might overall the right thing in the big picture but I will be devastated if he changes his mind again.
Losing children is just the most terrible thing.
I will definitly be re-evaluating my sway. Clomid is a little scary with the girl sway part but I doubt my Dr. will jump on that anyway. I was glad to hear you had a cycle like this, it makes me feel more normal. :) Really bad timing though, Cycle!! :)

[3Pink1Blue]

iluv - My cycles were perfect for 5 months after my d&c then my body freaked. My midwife said your body can go right back to business and a few months later realize something is a miss so go crazy till it's fixed. I know the situations aren't the same but to some extend bodies all deal the same. FX you'll straighten out soon.

tink - so scary, glad you are ok. Are you going to have the genetic test done?


omg we, as a group, so need a bfp!

[Tink18]

Princess and I luv, I just want to hug you ladies so bad, I cant even imagine, And I know I can hug ILUV as we have figured out we are only miles away from each other. MAybe we need need to plan a day together to just cry this all out and give each other some good positive vibes and it will all be ok and then we can be pregnant together and go on this journey together!

As far as testing, yes I will be doing the testing. I would like to see if I am a carrier. I know what my options are if I am a carrier. I will cross that bridge later in life when i am done having babies and breast feeding. It's scary. but My family is way more important.

I agree someone does need a BFP soon, I haven't started my diet yet, I did just get all my stuff in the mail, my ovulating stick my PH sticks and my thermometer! it was like Christmas!! But AF is here! I cant play with anything! boooooo!

I really want to TTC right now! But i have to be in my cousins wedding in OCT. That is the only thing holding me back is a black dress hanging in my closet that is already my size. Fits me fine. And she would be mad if i was obviously pregnant on her DAY. SO i can get away with AUG at earliest!

[skrimpy]

Hey gals, I have been MIA from the blue club thread for a couple weeks due to just wanting to focus on getting ready for my little one. She is finally here :D Here's the thread with a pic for you - I know you girls wanted one! http://genderdreaming.com/forum/showthread.php?3597-My-gd-baby-is-here!

Looking forward to snuggling with her for a couple of weeks then I will get back to personals and keep up with you lovely ladies. Hopefully lots of blue bfp's coming :D

[iluvmyman]

Congrats Skrimpy and welcome back. She is beautiful.

[TTC5]

I guess my urine was diluted yesterday when i did the opk & got a negative because i've just tested today & it's +. So here's wot we've done, Wed opk+, 4 days abstinence so dtd, Thurs dtd again although i had - opk (urine diluted) & today opk +. My temps havent gone up but will probably tomorrow. Should i dtd again today?

I'm a bit bummed because the false negative test yesterday threw me off, if i had known it would be positive today i'd have waited 48hrs & dtd today. Well what's done is done, just waiting for ovulation confirmation. Cramps here & there nothing too strong

FX for you!!

[TTC5]

Eh, it just makes me sad. But I'm feeling sorry for myself, clearly. It stings because he was so abusive to me and now everything goes so well in his life....it's just hard sometimes (COME ON, KARMA!!!! WHERE ARE YOU????). Anyway, it is what it is. Diet is going fine...I have no appetite, so really not eating much at all. Will start being healthier and eating more and doing diet again at beginning of July. I think we will ttc in August, but I've only got 3 months left in me to actually try, then we are just going to NTNP (not trying not preventing) because I'm getting tired of this.

Ok, thank you Karma. That Natalie Merchant song "Jealousy" just came on the radio. Clearly that is my problem.

xoxoxox

[TTC5]

Well.....you could have a couple of glasses of wine and TRY it one night, I guess? I think you might enjoy that, once you get over feeling timid about it. Maybe tell him you are open to that but he must make you feel comfortable and all, not get up and stare are you like you are a porn star or anything. I know, right, 3pnb, that makes me icked out also.

I have the freaking opposite problem, though....my DH is more reserved that I wish he was.:mad:

The things we do to get a boy lol! No wonder I have soo many girls... all I had to do was lay there hahaha

[TTC5]

OK, this is CD17 for me and still bleeding. I put a tampon in this morning and I think AF decided so start on CD15 instead of O. WTH. We dtd on CD12 and I did have a too light of a line but very visable line on CD12 or CD13 (I forget when I posted about it) but when i got home at 5p.m., it was completely white negative and has been white negative since. Minus 2 days of very light test lines w/ 2nd Morning Urine only.

We dtd the dance last night but I'm calling it. This sucks!! I feel like I've wasted several months of ttc w/ these supps when I would've been better off on my own. DH told me yes in the beginning of March.

I take folic acid, zinc, B12, Fish Oil, Vitamin E, green tea extract and fertilecm, mucinex, URAL. I'm thinking about cutting out the fertilecm and anything else do you think like Green tea? I'm so dissapointed and this is total BS. I shouldn't have messed with what wasn't broken. :( I haven't been happy with the CM i've gotten for several cycles anyway.

What do you think? I really wanted to be pregnant by now. I'm gonna be nowhere near the time I gave birth to DS2.

I so wish I had the right advice to help you but I don't =( I am praying for you that your body gets a good clean out once this af leaves and next cycle will be "it" xoxoxo

[TTC5]

Yes you can mine was 7.0 with my last sway.

Wow! And that was just with diet and supps, no bs fingers/douches etc what about ural?

Last night I was 6.6 so it seems this flu has not affected me after all!

[TTC5]

Princess, hope this is it for you also....and you Babydes, I think you are fine but like I said earlier, I'd maybe do one more try tonight to seal the deal. And hey, if you are having a good time (thanks to testosterone and preseed!), they why not, eh?

Thanks for lifting my spirits about this ex baby thing. I think you gals are right, I just want to see something NOT go right for them, but that is a really crappy karma thing on my part. And they probably have a terrible marriage, I cannot imagine any woman being happy with him, he is a miserable crazy-maker.

Anywhoooooo......ok, SEX topic again......TTC5, I wish my DH wanted to do that. I am actually having a hard time getting him to try new things. I am afraid to damage his ego for many reasons, but I have told him that he needs to step it up in learning how to make me O. I used to do what Spicy did with others pre-DH (and even ex-DH) where while dtd, either he or I would help myself out. But current DH doesn't know, I don't think he's had a woman be like, "Ok, buddy, here's the deal, SOMEONE has to work this thing here or I'm not happy." Once he's back in town, we are going to work on this, because with ttc for the last 9 months and all, our sex life has not progressed like it should. I may go to the sex toy store after work and see what they have that might be enticing. But this is the only way we can make things more spicy, is to communicate and try new stuff, so I say go for it TTC5 and just don't be inhibited, it will probably be AMAZING!

Iluv, girl, I would post a thread on the ttc forum here about your bleeding in hopes that Atomic will answer.....I don't think it's possible to have AF 2 weeks early, but I don't know.....that makes me a little worried for you. You know, if you recall from her threads, she was pg with twins and lost one, which she thought was AF, then thought she was back to square one when the other twin was still doing well. I know you said you had a negative hpt, so that is likely not the case, but do post your issue because the collective wisdom on this site will definitely help!

TTC5, so sorry you are sick! I would not hesitate at all to do the vapor rub and steam. I don't know if you plan to still attempt this month in lieu of being sick, but if you do, just don't take any cold meds that dry you up! I REALLY don't put much stock in ions and moon phase and all that stuff, because like 3pnb, I would have boys. I don't disregard it completely, like, it makes me happy when it lines up for a boy now when we attempt, but I don't hold off because of it. I hope you feel better, hun! How's your momma?

No cold meds just some vicks rub and paracetamol for the pain. I am toughing this out big time and I feel like death warmed up =(
My Mum is ok thanks for asking, they are still in the safe shelter it is hard but things have to get better, right?

[TTC5]

thanks Lola....I already feel like I am out this month. I am crampy today and I am only 4dpo so maybe af will be early. It sucks not getting pregnant.

Iluv. sorry to hear u are having issues. I was having bleeding every two weeks for a bit and my Ob said it was either stress or my body adjusting from my loss and d&c. It sucks when things dont go as planned. Hope your
dr gives you some answers.

who is in tww??

That cramping could be a good sign too!

[TTC5]

well, I don't even know what to say seems like everyone is going through it. I would just like to say I hope come June we all get everything we are looking for and June starts off more positive.

Maybe this will start the positive vibe. The past few weeks were the scariest weeks of my life. A few weeks ago I went to the doctor because I wasn't feeling good. I had all kinds of blood work done, and then my Doctor feels my left breast and he finds a lump. He asks me if I had a mammogram before, I say no. He said do you have family history of Breast cancer. I said yes, 3 aunts have passed, my grandma and great grandma. He ordered and immediate mammogram. I am 29, apparently the youngest mammogram done in my doctors office ever. I waited 2 weeks for my result, when it came back negative I was obviously so happy. But I can still go in for genetic testing, they can find out if I am a carrier of the gene and I have options if I want. But What and eye opener at 29. I am very thankful for my life right now and what I have. Hugs to you all. xxoo

Gosh what a scare that would have been! xx

[TTC5]

Hey gals, I have been MIA from the blue club thread for a couple weeks due to just wanting to focus on getting ready for my little one. She is finally here :D Here's the thread with a pic for you - I know you girls wanted one! http://genderdreaming.com/forum/showthread.php?3597-My-gd-baby-is-here!

Looking forward to snuggling with her for a couple of weeks then I will get back to personals and keep up with you lovely ladies. Hopefully lots of blue bfp's coming :D

Lovely to hear from you Skrimpy and Congrats!!

[TTC5]

AFM: Still sick but not taking any cold medication, CD 9 so tomorrow we start our cut off!!! Getting close now guys ;)
My temps seem to be dropping heaps do you think this is ok???

[TTC5]

You ladies are very quiet today or is it the time zone difference?

[iluvmyman]

I'll be logging off soon too. Maybe everyone is heading off for memorial day weekend plans?

[TTC5]

I'll be logging off soon too. Maybe everyone is heading off for memorial day weekend plans?

Sorry to sound so rude, but what is memorial day?

[iluvmyman]

I cheated and copy and pasted this. :)

Memorial Day is a day for remembering and honoring military personnel who died in the service of their country, particularly those who died in battle or as a result of wounds sustained in battle. While those who died are also remembered

Most people in the states have Monday off for Memorial Day so it's a 3 day weekend.

[Tink18]

I'm only quiet because I am filling my brain up. Trying to get all prepared for September!!! LOL!!

We aren't doing anything for memorial day! staying home BBqing and hanging out! Taking our daughter to gymnastics tomorrow Family day!!

[iluvmyman]

My DH wouldn't let me go on my girls weekend so I decided to torture him by my sister and her 3 kids coming here for over a week. :) Not sure what we'll actually do for Memorial Day. It should be fun just a lot of people in a small space.

[iluvmyman]

OK, on reserve battery power on the laptop, good night.

[TTC5]

Night Night Iluv xx

[Cheekymoo]

Had to babysit for a friend last night and have been soo busy:) but I have caught up on the thread , and just had to say

ILUV- man you just can't catch a break ATM :( I really wish I had some good advice to offer but sadly i can't understand what is going on either it is def very strange! FX this is just a BLIP and it settles next cycle.

MFC- Thanks for the encouragement re my PH ! As a newbie I am still getting excited about the little things LOL

TTC5- Soo excited for you ......getting so close to your attempt now- You are doing so well not taking anything for your cold- I am sick and have had to take some stuff (but luckily our attempt isn't till next month!)

I also just wanted to ask if anyone knows much about the antibiotics/ ph stuff I know it raises ph but for how long after??

Gotta go fill my pill container for the week - yay this will be week 5 taking the supplements :)

[princessap]

I am logging off for a
few days girls. We have the burial for our son today so is going to be a rough weekend.
Good luck to everyone in tww.

[3Pink1Blue]

Big hug to you Princess, e-mail me if you need/want to.

Cheekymoo and tink - I love having newbies here, takes the edge off some of us seasoned swayers. Not to be a bummer but it gets really hard especially with losses.

Haircuts and grocery shopping today, mmmmm meat lol

[Tink18]

Thanks 3pink. I feel out of the loop trying to get to know everyone's stories and I also feel a bit selfish coming on giving my "here's what I need" But everyone so far has been so amazing. Even though ILUV's struggles she has already been so amazing offering such great advice to me, as well as TTC5! I only hope i can offer something in return sometime in the near future. I have only been on here for a short time so I am doing my best to learn and get to know everyone. I really hope June brings better luck to everyone.

and as I'm sure as everyone feels Atomic's info is incredible!

PRINCESS, my heart goes out to you and your family. I wish you peace and strength to get thought this difficult time. lots of hugs your way.

everyone else...as I am getting to know you..please feel free to PM with a little bit of info! I would love to get caught up!

XOXO

I love the support here..it makes me smile!

[3Pink1Blue]

Tink - Most of us started on another site where you got chastised for asking questions and never really got solid answers from the mods so I think it's made all of us extra helpful because of it. It's a lot of info to sort through so feel free to ask away.

So went to the salon to have all of us cut by our regular lady, we've been going there for 6+ years so we pretty much know everyone. I haven't seen one of the ladies for a while and she commented on how big my littlest one has gotten and how it's time to have another one. I politely smiled, she came back with "A boy next time. Aren't you going to have anymore?" Realizing this questioning was not going to end soon I told her about my Oct m/c. I really wanted to answer with "Well I m/c in Oct, nearly died and my poor uterus is still trying to recover from the trauma of my emergency d&c but yes, we are hoping for one more" just to make her feel like sh*t for pushing but my kids were there and I know she didn't deserve it. I honestly never thought I'd be not pregnant long enough for harassment, I really miss my ohw status :sad:

On the plus side my buddy's son told me I look pretty today (she curled my hair). He's almost 11, I kissed him for his sweetness:kiss:

[Tink18]

I would have made her feel like shit. People can be so thoughtless. Honestly. I have no shame. I am not a pushy person, but you tweak me the wrong way I can snap. I am Italian and I have 3 older brothers I raised to defend myself when needed.

I came over here from IG as well. I didn't spend much time over there. We thought were going to TTC around Jan of this year but called it off due to my cousins wedding in Oct. I am the maid of honor. She is like a sister to me, I really didn't want to be hugely pregnant at her wedding. I wanted to enjoy all the fun stuff. Not that I couldn't being pregnant, but you get what I mean. Plus around Jan when we thought we were ready my DH and I really weren't. We were really enjoying our daughter and It just being the 3 of us. Now that she is 2 we are really having the fever so it feels good to be where we are. I like that we are ready at our terms and not because "society says so" I like this group so much better then IG anyway. It's so mellow and so supportive. I am really into supportive women. I have a group of women I still keep in contact with from my pregnancy over 2 years ago with my daughter, there is like 25 of us. We still chat on our forum almost daily! Still send each other gifts, cards all kids of stuff. And we facebook. LOL, they are amazing. I told them I am getting ready to TTC and my mail box has been so full.

How fun about being in the salon, that is my line of work, I am a makeup artist! I bet you look beautiful today!!

[3Pink1Blue]

Tink - I may have snapped but my kids were there. Brief story for you new ladies. I was 13 wks exactly and woke up because my water broke, went to the bathroom and had just started bleeding. 1 1/2 hrs later I blacked out the first time, then the second, then the third. I was rushed to the ER with a blood pressure just high enough to keep me out of a coma. U/s determined my uterus was empty but some tissue remained that was causing the excessive bleeding. While waiting for my d&c I blacked out again, dh thought I was dying. I was put under fully for the d&c because if they couldn't stop the bleeding they would need to preform a hysterectomy to save my life. My girls only know I went to the hospital because I lost the baby, if I have my way they will never know more then that.

On a lighter note I too have a group of women I met while preg with my little one, 4 1/2 years later I've met 2 of them and still exchange christmas cards. I love these kinds of bonds.

[TTC5]

Thinking of you all xoxoxoxo

[TTC5]

OK CD 10, still quite dry CM but noticed today after a BM I had some discharge of brown?? OPK's are - so would not be that... I have however been having 1-3 O's a day the last few days (trying to raise my pH before O!!) perhaps it is from AF being expelled from that???? I don't often O so maybe I have never really had this before as my body has never had the chance to really push the last bits out iykwim??? :S

[TTC5]

Baking soda finger.. did I use too much? It doesnt burn badly but does a tiny little bit.. not on the cervix more on the inside/vulva area??

[Cheekymoo]

ILUV- I would have to say YES to that- although not having done it yet myself what do I know??? :) But I thought it wasn't supposed to burn - unless it touched your cervix- mabye the other girls can shed alittle more light on that? :) Just wanted to ask TTC5 when do you think 'o' day will be? CD 14? I am getting excited counting down the days for you ! LOL

I am hoping so! Last cycle I got + OPK on CD 12, cycle before was CD 15 and before that was CD 13/14.

[Plum3]

Getting excited for you TTC5!

I wish I could keep up with everyone on here!

[3Pink1Blue]

Yes you either over did it or are doing it too much. You can dry everything out and it begins to sort of tingle. Keep it to 2-3 x a day and and you'll be good.

[SpicyTunaSushi]

Congrats Skrimpy on your baby girl!

Have we officially moved to June yet?

Ok guys, I am on CD11- and got a nice ph 7 ewcm glob and things are moving (keep up with the diet- the first 8 weeks my ph was low and then it started getting higher with ewcm near O).

My digi smileys :happy: are starting their fade in pattern and I think I might get a smiley either tomorrow morning or 6pm tomorrow and I NEED YOUR ADVICE:

If I get a pos digi tomorrow morning, I will dtd tomorrow night- easy.:fingers:

If I get a pos digi at 6pm, I need your help. Hubby is going for an interview in another city and has to be up at 430 am the day after the pos OPK, so we can't dtd in the morning. He can't perform under pressure. He won't be home until 3-4pm that day.

So, I can either:

a. Dtd that night- around 11pm- 5 hours after pos OPK (4 days abstinence)

OR

b. DTD the next day around 3-4 pm- 22 hours past pos OPK :thumbsdown: (5 days abstinence)

What would you do?

:pray:


And just for fun, I really like this emoticon:

:nyd: (no you didn't)

[TTC5]

How much is on your finger? Are you just touching the baking soda or are you scooping and stuffing a ton in?

[TTC5]

Just wetting a qtip now and slowely putting it inside it gathers just a small blob on the end is that too little?

And lol sounds like I'm stuffing a turkey lol

[3Pink1Blue]

You're probably fine but maybe this is a sign that this just isn't the thing for you.

[TTC5]

Do you think? Even if it is brown could it be left over from af?

[My Fabulous Children]

MFC, SOOOOO sorry you had an effed up cycle!!! Do you think it was the supps? I am going to go check out your successful sway for your DS.....hope your weight loss is doing well also. Still not on Atkins, just dealing one day at a time this week. I swear, every time my DH goes out of town for work, the worst shit ever happens. Last time was during my horrid m/c a month ago! But, I am a little freaked of the Atkins now that I saw Atomic say it can sway girl because of the low blood sugar issues. I think I'm just gonna keep up with my Metabolife and tiny appetite this month and see how it turns out. I'll even take a 5 lb loss, better than nothing. Are you going to the dr anytime about your cycle or just seeing what happens? I'm so sorry, hun, that is very irritating.....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrr

I think maybe the L'Arg messed up my cycle, but I also think it might be from the m/c ..I am really not sure. I'm trying to see my Dr asap. I am not going on a diet to lose weight I am just not eating as much as I used to, LOL. I lost a lot of weight last year before doing the boy diet all I did is I didn't eat much and I don't eat after 6 PM. I'll even take 5lbs loss I agree better than nothing.

[My Fabulous Children]

That is exactly why. FertileCM not only made me O about 4 days late, but also DRIED ME UP something fierce, the, um, total opposite effect it is supposed to have.

That's exactly what happened to me

[My Fabulous Children]

thanks Lola....I already feel like I am out this month. I am crampy today and I am only 4dpo so maybe af will be early. It sucks not getting pregnant.

Iluv. sorry to hear u are having issues. I was having bleeding every two weeks for a bit and my Ob said it was either stress or my body adjusting from my loss and d&c. It sucks when things dont go as planned. Hope your

Wow! And that was just with diet and supps, no bs fingers/douches etc what about ural?

Last night I was 6.6 so it seems this flu has not affected me after all!

That's from the drinks. I was doing them like crazy. Really.

ACV 4-6 X day

BSD & COT 2 X day

ASG 2 X day.

With bsf my pH was around 8.5. The diet didn't help much.

[hope.ful]

Yes Jen how are you? Who else is in the tww?

I am...but I'm thinking it's going to be a BFN this month...but we'll see =)

[LolaInLove]

Hey ladies, it is US Memorial Day, and since I had a few minutes before hitting the lake with friends, I thought I'd check in. SO much to comment on....

SKRIMPY! She is gorgeous and so is her name....I hope she is being a good little newborn for you all and so glad the birth went well also!

Princess, I will be thinking about you this weekend....many, many hugs.

ILuv, glad you have reached out to your dr....I think you may have the normal crazy-post delivery cycles. Just get whatever tests they recommend done, because you will feel proactive and better about it. You'll get straight soon. And glad to hear your dropped fertile cm, I hate that stuff.

MFC, I have dropped some weight in the last week just cutting down on food intake big time. I feel better already at least seeing my stomach be somewhat flat and looking non-pg in clothing.

Tink, holy moly, glad you are alright! I had a cancerous tumor in my right breast when I was 18....they got it all and I have been fine ever since. I have had mammos for a long time, though! And yes, does put it all way way way in perspective. We are happy to have you join us here, this is quite an amazing group and so very supportive!!!

Babydes, hope you are baking a little bean in there and feeling ok.

Anyone else I forgot....sorry.....this is such a long thread!

As for me, I took one of those First Response Fertility Tests yesterday (CD3) to test my FSH level, and lo and behold, it is elevated, meaning I have shit eggs. GGGGRRRREEEEEEAAAAAATTTTTTT. There was no question about it, very positive. So now I have another fun thing to deal with. On to the research and probably more supps. Debating taking the DHEA again also. I have to say, in light of this now, I really think we are going to cut out all sway stuff that is not related to healthy eggs and fertility, like probably no bsf and all. I don't know if I will even use preseed at this point. Just antioxidants for us. Not gonna lie, this has been a rough weekend.

So, will be back tomorrow morning once back at the grind. XOXO

[3Pink1Blue]

ttc5 - asg is basically just baking soda and potassium

Lola - big hugs to you

Well here we are 10 dpo and I couldn't feel more normal. Think I'll test Wednesday (12dpo) just for "fun".

With bsf my pH was around 8.5. The diet didn't help much.

The diet is still needed to get the potassium and sodium for little boy spermies to be attracted to and get a head start, right?

Hey ladies, it is US Memorial Day, and since I had a few minutes before hitting the lake with friends, I thought I'd check in. SO much to comment on....

SKRIMPY! She is gorgeous and so is her name....I hope she is being a good little newborn for you all and so glad the birth went well also!

Princess, I will be thinking about you this weekend....many, many hugs.

ILuv, glad you have reached out to your dr....I think you may have the normal crazy-post delivery cycles. Just get whatever tests they recommend done, because you will feel proactive and better about it. You'll get straight soon. And glad to hear your dropped fertile cm, I hate that stuff.

MFC, I have dropped some weight in the last week just cutting down on food intake big time. I feel better already at least seeing my stomach be somewhat flat and looking non-pg in clothing.

Tink, holy moly, glad you are alright! I had a cancerous tumor in my right breast when I was 18....they got it all and I have been fine ever since. I have had mammos for a long time, though! And yes, does put it all way way way in perspective. We are happy to have you join us here, this is quite an amazing group and so very supportive!!!

Babydes, hope you are baking a little bean in there and feeling ok.

Anyone else I forgot....sorry.....this is such a long thread!

As for me, I took one of those First Response Fertility Tests yesterday (CD3) to test my FSH level, and lo and behold, it is elevated, meaning I have shit eggs. GGGGRRRREEEEEEAAAAAATTTTTTT. There was no question about it, very positive. So now I have another fun thing to deal with. On to the research and probably more supps. Debating taking the DHEA again also. I have to say, in light of this now, I really think we are going to cut out all sway stuff that is not related to healthy eggs and fertility, like probably no bsf and all. I don't know if I will even use preseed at this point. Just antioxidants for us. Not gonna lie, this has been a rough weekend.

So, will be back tomorrow morning once back at the grind. XOXO

Hope you had fun a the lake, we didn't do much here but family was in town.

I don't know anything about the FSH but sounds like you can help get your eggs healthier???

I think for me, it's between body regulating and the supps, I just am not sure what to take. I nursed all my kids for like the 2ish year marks so I have nothing to compare this to. It was just such a slap in the face going from testing for O to getting AF. Just another month in the dust.

That being said, so sorry and I hope everything works OK. there are worse things than me getting my Af. :)
