♥ June 2011 ~ Swaying for Blue? This is the thread for you!! ♥

[begonia]

Bfn 8 dpo, lol! Shocking!! I might skip tomorrow and wait til Thurs... I only have two more tests and after that am waiting for af to appear or not. I wasn't bummed at all by the bfn though; I totally could wait til fall to try again.

Jane the diet is crazy different if you're used to eating like a girl mom! For me it was eating bigger meals that was hard on my tum. I was a small meal kinda girl. But like you said... For the cause! :-)

TTC5 any verdict yet on trying this month or next?

Good luck to you ZB! Excited for you to give it a go!

Bec, we jumped in early and tried this month .... Planned to wait til oct. Go with your gut. Maybe if you do try early and get a bfn you'll be ok since you have fun stuff to look forward to that will be better not pg? Re: alcohol I had a couple drinks in the days before our attempt, doesn't worry me. If everything else I did could be canceled by 2 glasses of wine then it wasn't enough to sway me boy anyway IMO. I know a gal on IG who had a glass of red every night and got her boy.

Sorry if I missed anyone, on my phone and it's hard to do, esp since DD2 keeps grabbing at it to play games. Hope everyone is having a good am!

[begonia]

Did my BFN kill the thread?!? :rofl: Where is everyone today?!? Hopefully off doing fun stuff :bigsmile:

[Zivic-Bubac]

Good luck to you ZB! Excited for you to give it a go!

Good luck Zivic!
Thanks guys! :luck:
Begonia, 8dpo might be too early for bfp to show. Keep testing girl!!!!! :luck::luck::luck:

[3Pink1Blue]

B- my first was a surprise, we loved it because we genuinely didn't care. I knew she was a girl though. It drove my in-laws and our friends nuts, that was the second best part lol
I had to reschedule my first appt because I found out dd2 is getting an award at school, it's now July 14th. I'll be 10 wks so should get a heartbeat and hopefully an u/s.
FX for you!

AMS - I'd test again tomorrow with fmu.

Bec- you're just going to have to go with your gut.

Jane - I have always been a ohw and even with my sway baby last Aug I got preg first try. Complications from my m/c and d&c is what caused us to ttc for 6 months this time around. Don't get discouraged and decide it'll take you forever, you could be one of the lucky ones. Oh and at 33 I'm no spring chicken.
The changes in diet can really mess with your gut for a bit, stick to it you'll be alright.

[ams]

Hi! Thanks for all your help! Well I will test tomorrow morning if still no af! And I will go buy a first response one intend of Internet cheapies. I am never late so a bit confused what's happening with my cycle! If no period today than I will be 3 days late so should definately know one way or another by tomorrow! Have a great day everyone!

[Alexis2007]

Begonia

Thanks for all of the advice!! I'm not going to stress over timing. Now on to worry about opk's lol!! Got an almost positive today but still have very creamy cm. Hope it changes when I get the +opk!! I keep dreaming about missing my O thus cycle. Geez! lol I think DH and I will dtd tonight as it *should* be O-2 today.

[begonia]

Good luck testing tomorrow Ams! FX you get a BFP! Or at least an answer for this crazy cycle!

Jen I love when my friends don't find out, it really is so fun, but I know it will drive my mom absolutely nuts, LOL! I'm so excited for 7/14 ... hearing the heartbeat is so soothing. Congrats to your DD2 getting an award, how fun! Are they in year round school?

[begonia]

Alexis I hope tonight goes well! So exciting for your 0-2! When did your EWCM come last cycle, do you know? Before or on O? I remember last cycle you were pumped to finally get some so I hope this cycle is even better for you and gobs of it show up. That sounds gross but we know we'd all love to say we had gobs of that stuff :-)

[Alexis2007]

I had ewcm on CD 14 last cycle and FF said I O'd on CD 15 last cycle. I really hope it shows up again!! It was really awesome to see lol!!

[3Pink1Blue]

Ams- fx for ya!

Alexis- I gave up on timing a long time ago. I aimed for O-2 and O because that was the best shot at a bfp.

B- both my girls are getting the award but dd2 is getting hers in a later ceremony (stupid pm kindergarten) which interfered with my appt. Yep we are year round.

Where the heck is Tink?

[begonia]

Jen your girls are so lucky to have year round school! I am keeping my fingers crossed that all of them will go that way eventually; I think it is so much better for their education.

I was wondering where Miss Tink went too! I didn't notice if she mentioned a vacay?!? Hope all is well with her.

I wish I wasn't having such bad allergies right now or I'd totally chalk up my nausea and afternoon lethargy to pg symptoms, but I can't... cause it could totally be from the allergies. But my bb's are a little sore today and that can't be allergies :wink: So.... I think I am going to go ahead and POAS again in the am, LOL. Once you jump on the train it is hard to jump off ... that reminds me though Kris should be testing again tomorrow I hope? Fx for her!

[ams]

Well it seems ic are no good for me!! Went and got a first response from the shops and it's a............BFP!!!

Came up straight away even not with fmu! Have been feeling like I need to be sick for a few days and oh so tired!!can't believe it!!! Thanks all for your help!!!

[3Pink1Blue]

I think 8dpo is too early too. There's still hope!

I am starting to lean towards trying earlier rather than waiting til Jan. I'll just limit the amount of drinks I have.

[Plum3]

Congratulations Ams!!!

Great news :)

[TTC5]

Zivic, how does a last quater moon look, lol, sorry to sound so stupid haha

It's just so far away!

Are you going to attempt this month?

[TTC5]

We were originally going to start next year too lol I just could not wait any longer!!!

Going to see how my pH is closer to O and decide from there :)

[Kris217]

I must be 16 dpo! And ic still didn't pick it up! Sure feel preggo though so fingers crossed xxx good luck to the rest of u!!

Well that gives me some hope, i'm 13dpo today and too scared to test! I will wait to see if AF is late then go from there. Once again congratulations girl, that's great news!

[Kris217]

How are you and your partner going Kris? xx

Not too bad, i'm currently 13dpo and will be testing if AF is late. Sarah is cd2 I think but she is second on the donor list for IVF! It came sooner than we were expecting but her obgyn wants her to have 3 procedures done first, a dye study to see if her tubes are blocked, another laproscopy sp? and another thing to check the inside of her uterus. We want to get that done asap so we don't have to tell the IVF we're not ready yet!!

[Kris217]

I thought i had symptoms but i'm not going to worry about them at this stage, my body could just be playing games with me.
So you're going to see how your ph is going and then decide if you'll go for it or not huh. I was planning on trying next cycle but if i get pg the baby would be an Aries and the ones in my family are nuts lol so i don't know if i will skip this cycle or not! :P

[ams]

Thanks to all for my congrats msg!!! I am going to go and have a celebratory hot chocolate and bag of mm's!!! Hope you all get your bfp really soon and I'll post my attempt soon!!

[Zivic-Bubac]

Woo-hooo!!!! Congrats ams, go team blue!!!! :cheer:

[Cheekymoo]

Well it seems ic are no good for me!! Went and got a first response from the shops and it's a............BFP!!!

Came up straight away even not with fmu! Have been feeling like I need to be sick for a few days and oh so tired!!can't believe it!!! Thanks all for your help!!!


Congrats Ams! :) Hope it goes smoothly for you !

What a roll this month! Come on girls we need at least one more! :)

[Cheekymoo]

ILuv & Begonia - thanks for the replies re my hormonal rant LOL It def made me feel a bit better...I am going to just stick with the vits and BSD/ACV and I am just concentrating on my try now which is a weeks away...:)

Bec - thanks for the vit d info- I might add that in now...how much do you take?

TTC5 - hope your PH is going good , I can't wait to hear if you try this month as I will prob O thurs 30th/fri1 which will be around the same time as you?

Kris- I am hoping you get that line and bring in another one for blue team FX!

TINK- sounds like your busy busy ! Do I detect a few vibes of wanting to start TTC earlier? LOL


Hey does anyone know when they say a low temp cycle is a boy cycle- does that mean the temps from beg of AF- O or end of AF to -O ?? just wondering.....

[begonia]

Hi Chickadees!

Welcome back to Tink! You were missed girl!

Cheekymoo IDK about the temps thing, but I can tell you I know of 2 gals from IG who got pg on higher temp cycles and had boys ... so ... I think that one might not be something worth worrying about!

For all those considering moving up their TTC date, it HAS to do with hanging out here!!! It gets you all excited, LOL! I was F-I-N-E waiting til fall and after all this GD chit chat I had to get on it :bigsmile: Get to it Bec, January is waaaay far away!

Kris I don't know if you or Sarah have heard but often the dye flush in the tubes is enough to clear up whatever it is that's been preventing her falling pg. There are LOADS of women who have it done and fall pg quickly after, with no other intervention required. FX for her, and FX your AF stays away!

I decided not to test today. I had a dream that I got a BFP this am (one of those really REAL dreams, like where you're SURE you're awake!) and was really upset about it so opted not to test this am... I'm so conflicted as it it about whether I wanted this cycle to work or not. The plus would be I'll be 33 still when I have the baby, whereas waiting til fall I'll be 34 once I deliver. Which isn't a huge deal ... but anyhow, if I'm not pg now I can really enjoy the rest of the summer! And I still will have TTC to look forward to! This will be our last and part of me will be sad to see it start, since I know I'll never do it again. Anyhow, I think I'll be fine either way but that dream spooked me a bit.

Geez Begonia way to convert it to personal therapy here :wink: I probably went and killed the thread again this am ... I swear no one posted for like, 5 hours after I posted yesterday am :rofl:

[begonia]

I thought i had symptoms but i'm not going to worry about them at this stage, my body could just be playing games with me.


Oh ITA with this!!!!

[Alexis2007]

Congrats ams on your BFP!! Yay!! Hope to get mine in about 2 weeks!!

I had a + opk yesterday and another one again today!! Maybe I'll get another one tomorrow and then O on Friday. That'd be awesome!! No ewcm yet but definitely more wet today. Haven't had a temp drop yet so I haven't O'ed yet. I'll kup!

Hope everyone gets their BFP that's hoping!

[babydes56]

Congrats to Ams!! How many bfps have we got now? 3PNB, Debh, Ams & myself, am i right?

Kris, if u tested at 13dpo i'm sure you'd had a clear answer, FX for you!

Begonia, are you testing tomorrow?

[babydes56]

Congrats ams on your BFP!! Yay!! Hope to get mine in about 2 weeks!!

Hope everyone gets their BFP that's hoping!

Are you making your attempt now? GL if you are

[babydes56]

Bec, what you decided to do with your attempt? Are you going to move it forward?

TTc5, hope you get your EWCM so you can make your attempt

Tink, how you doing with supplements?

[Alexis2007]

Are you making your attempt now? GL if you are

Yep sure am! Hoping for some ewcm soon!

[begonia]

Good luck Alexis!

Babydes, I don't know if I will test tomorrow. My gut tells me I am pregnant and part of me just doesn't want to know. I know that sounds completely weird. I might just wait and see if AF comes ... I usually get spotting starting 12/13 DPO so that will tell me something by Saturday or Sunday. I think part of it is I'm not really a spontaneous person, I like things very, very planned, and I feel like we were a little too spontaneous with this conception and I'm not ready for it! My mind was still wrapped around TTC in October!

Anyhow ... I might not be pregnant after all and then all this fretting would be for no reason :-) Then I'd probably start fretting over WHY I didn't fall pg, LOL.

I'm a mess.

[3Pink1Blue]

Kris - When's af due? You're 14 dpo so any second now right? Congrats on Sarah cruising up the ivf donor list, fx she's ready when she hits the top! BTW I'm an Aries and I'm awesome lol

Tink - Of course I missed you! You've got new family drama too, we should start a thread lol

Cheeky- I'm pretty sure it's low temps from end of af to O

B- no test today or tomorrow?! That's some self restraint! I'm a planner too, some days wish I could just go with the flow kwim. oh and wish granted, meat and eggs make me sick and I can't even look at veggies so here I sit sucking dorito cheese off my fingers in a simultaneous state of pregnancy joy and paleo shame. Girls gotta eat right :bigsmile:

Alexis - FX for mad amounts of ewcm!

[begonia]

LOL!!! Thanks for making me laugh; I'm super cranky today! I bet I end up testing in the am. We'll see though. That dream really freaked me out.

I hadn't even thought to look up the sign of my potential baby. Clearly I'm a terrible planner after all ;-)

[Tink18]

Bec, what you decided to do with your attempt? Are you going to move it forward?

TTc5, hope you get your EWCM so you can make your attempt

Tink, how you doing with supplements?

I am doing great with supplements. Do the fish pills make you extra horny. Or is the heat? I don't know what is wrong with me but I feel like I am overly something??..DH and I have done it twice a day every day for like 2 weeks straight. In the most random places too. I was getting a box of rice out of the pantry next thing i know I'm up against the wall...stuff like that...sorry if TMI?? But not that I am complaining! I mean normally we have a healthy sex life but it just went to crazy.

Anyway...What is this VIT D sways boy? I am taking that! wahoo!

Ya 3PN, I don't know ill have moment to wrap this one off, but it was a major fun one! lol. we should start and Inlaw thread! Fuckers.

[Tink18]

Wait Bec are you going to TTC earlier then the beginning of the YEAR???? I knew you couldn't hold out? ahah!

[3Pink1Blue]

B- Sorry your dream freaked you out but glad I could make you giggle. I've never looked up my kids astrology pre-conception. I get curious after the fact but never though about before.

Tink- We had a big brawl last night with my bil and his pos gf because dh asked her a simple question. All I can say about the in-laws is I love that all the drama isn't inside my house, I wish they weren't in my state but unless dh's company moves us that isn't happening.

[Kris217]

Congrats to Ams!! How many bfps have we got now? 3PNB, Debh, Ams & myself, am i right?

Kris, if u tested at 13dpo i'm sure you'd had a clear answer, FX for you!

Begonia, are you testing tomorrow?

I tested at 12dpo with an internet cheapie and got nothing but i had been drinking and peeing a lot before hand. I will wait a few days to see if AF is late....it's due today and i feel like it will come.

[Kris217]

Kris - When's af due? You're 14 dpo so any second now right? Congrats on Sarah cruising up the ivf donor list, fx she's ready when she hits the top! BTW I'm an Aries and I'm awesome lol

Alexis - FX for mad amounts of ewcm!

Haha yes you are awesome, and just totally changed my mind on that :P hehe
Yes AF is due today, i feel a little crampy so i'm half expecting it! I still don't want to test just yet...

[Kris217]

The changes in diet can really mess with your gut for a bit, stick to it you'll be alright.thanks for the encouragement!:happy:by the way, whats ohw?

[begonia]

Jane, OHW = one hit wonder ... getting pg on the 1st month trying.

Tink it's not normal for you to BD when getting rice out of the pantry? That's totally our regular foreplay :rofl: Could be the supps kicking in and giving you some extra testosterone ... either way, enjoy it :bigsmile:

Kris FX AF stays away for you, sounds like you're feeling her coming on though :mad:

Oh and my fam will be in town for the next week starting friday so I won't be on much ... I'll likely keep up with reading on my phone and might post here and there, but I don't like posting from my phone so it'll be limited. I do promise if I get a BFP to log on while the pee's still wet on the stick and let you all know :wink: I'm 10 dpo tomorrow but thinking I'm just going to keep waiting it out.

[TTC5]

Girls! We have almost 160 pages of chatting for this month, LOL. We are a bunch of gas baggers LOL!!!

AFM - about a week till O... feeling so excited again :)

[TTC5]

Haha yes you are awesome, and just totally changed my mind on that :P hehe
Yes AF is due today, i feel a little crampy so i'm half expecting it! I still don't want to test just yet...

OMG you have such self control!!! I so bet you are UTD ;)

Kris- I am hoping you get that line and bring in another one for blue team FX!

TINK- sounds like your busy busy ! Do I detect a few vibes of wanting to start TTC earlier? LOL


Hey does anyone know when they say a low temp cycle is a boy cycle- does that mean the temps from beg of AF- O or end of AF to -O ?? just wondering.....

Yep we sure will be O'ing together!!!

I had very low temps last cycle but this cycle is looking better.

[jane]

Jane, OHW = one hit wonder ... getting pg on the 1st month trying.

Tink it's not normal for you to BD when getting rice out of the pantry? That's totally our regular foreplay :rofl: Could be the supps kicking in and giving you some extra testosterone ... either way, enjoy it :bigsmile:

Kris FX AF stays away for you, sounds like you're feeling her coming on though :mad:

Oh and my fam will be in town for the next week starting friday so I won't be on much ... I'll likely keep up with reading on my phone and might post here and there, but I don't like posting from my phone so it'll be limited. I do promise if I get a BFP to log on while the pee's still wet on the stick and let you all know :wink: I'm 10 dpo tomorrow but thinking I'm just going to keep waiting it out.(your comment on tink)you really need to have your own comic strip! i look forward to your posts,they make me laugh:rofl:

[jane]

Girls! We have almost 160 pages of chatting for this month, LOL. We are a bunch of gas baggers LOL!!!

AFM - about a week till O... feeling so excited again :)you started it! is it going to just continue into july etc or will we run out of paper!:rofl:

[Kris217]

OMG you have such self control!!! I so bet you are UTD ;)

Well no AF yet but the day isn't over, last month i was 3 days late so i could just be late again this month. I guess i don't feel dtd and that's why i'm not testing like mad.

[Kris217]

Well i think i spoke too soon.....bugger!!

[Plum3]

Well i think i spoke too soon.....bugger!!

Did AF show? Such a cow.

[Plum3]

Girls! We have almost 160 pages of chatting for this month, LOL. We are a bunch of gas baggers LOL!!!

AFM - about a week till O... feeling so excited again :)

I'm so putting my money on you trying again this month. I don't think you can wait ;)

[Plum3]

Wait Bec are you going to TTC earlier then the beginning of the YEAR???? I knew you couldn't hold out? ahah!

Yep, yep, yep :) Moving our attempt to November!

[Plum3]

Bec, what you decided to do with your attempt? Are you going to move it forward?

TTc5, hope you get your EWCM so you can make your attempt

Tink, how you doing with supplements?

Yep, moving our attempt to November :D Yay! Just can't wait.

How are you feeling? So many BFPs this month. By the time I try you'll all be UTD :)

[Plum3]

Cheekymoo, I don't take Vit D yet but will be taking 400iu. I think when you sway you can take 800iu but you have to be careful because you can OD on it.

Begonia, will be hanging out for your peeing news. Oh and me pushing our attempt forward is so because of all of you. You're all accountable for that one.

Alexis, good luck with your attempts!

[Kris217]

Did AF show? Such a cow.

I think i will have to wait till morning to double check, i'm pretty sure AF is here and i feel a little crampy. So November for you huh, that's going to be hard to wait till!

[Plum3]

I think i will have to wait till morning to double check, i'm pretty sure AF is here and i feel a little crampy. So November for you huh, that's going to be hard to wait till!

FX she stays away. If she does show will you try again next month? Well November is better than January. I think I will be able to wait. I'm a planner so I want to have everything planned as best I can with the diet, supps, timing etc.

[TTC5]

I think i will have to wait till morning to double check, i'm pretty sure AF is here and i feel a little crampy. So November for you huh, that's going to be hard to wait till!

Oh I have my FX it is early preg cramping!!

[TTC5]

you started it! is it going to just continue into july etc or will we run out of paper!:rofl:

LOL that I did :P

I luv it tho!

[TTC5]

I'm so putting my money on you trying again this month. I don't think you can wait ;)

Most likely lol... so long as my pH looks favourable!! FX!!

[begonia]

(your comment on tink)you really need to have your own comic strip! i look forward to your posts,they make me laugh:rofl:

Awww, thanks Jane! That's super sweet. I think our group has the best comments, someone on here is always cracking me up!

And way to place blame where it belongs, on TTC5, for starting this mess. Which now leads to people trying to get pg before their plan (Bec! so exciting!) and then POAS at like, 5 DPO. And you KNOW you're going to try this month TTC5! At least I hope so! Then you can be in the June 2WW again.

I didn't POAS this am! I'm going to wait til 12 DPO. Nauseated as heck this am though. It's getting old.

Kris, sorry AF is on her way. Do you have a plan for next month?

OK probably off for the rest of the day, but hope everyone has a great one :kiss:

[Tink18]

Cheeky I am not changing my sway date which is sept or OCt. still haven't decided yet. it will just depend on when I O. I am just so excited. If it weren't for this damn wedding, I would have already started. SO irritating. But my cousin is like a sister and she NEEDS her moment. If i take anymore of her spotlight she will kill me. So i cant be pregnant or anything. I just have to stand up there like a mannequin and do my part. Wave, talk be polite and get drunk and throw up on the aunt everyone hates.

TTC, I am only taking those supplements That I mentioned before!

Today is my 4 year wedding Anniversary!!! I cant believe it's been 4 years of marriage and almost 10 years we have been together!! WILD!!!! AND he still gives me butterflies in my belly!!

[3Pink1Blue]

Happy Anniversary Tink! Any plans to celebrate? 10 yrs together, you guys must have met young!

[boyjoy]

Hi Ladies, i was busy with the laundry and cleaning house. you can imagine how bad it is after 6 weeks..
How u all doing.? My little girl is moving a lot these days. This helps me with the idea of 3 girls :) When i think 3 girls dressed and with the hair bows i find myself smile.. It s gonna be a nice experience.
It s good to be here again.

[boyjoy]

Jen, big congrats on your BFP, so happy for you. Hoping for a blue healthy sticky bean!

[3Pink1Blue]

Boyjoy- thanks! Glad your getting some peace. I will say 3 girls is so much fun, I was originally upset when we found out #3 was another girl but they are so fantastic together. The cuteness is off the charts some days! Mine like their sisters so much they told they only want me to have more baby girls lol

[begonia]

Boyjoy, I was with DD at an amusement park today and there were 3 girls there who had to be in their late 20's and one had a shirt that said "Big Sister" another, "Middle Sister" and the 3rd, of course ... "Little Sister" ... they were having the best time together. It totally made me a bit more OK with the idea of a 3rd girl.

Which is good, since I came home and POAS and got my BFP. HOLY *&%%$#. After 5 days of nausea and 2 days of sore boobs at least I know why ....

[ams]

Congrats!!! How exciting!!!!

[3Pink1Blue]

Woohoo B!! Congrats!!

[Plum3]

Hi Boyjoy, it's nice to hear you are happy with three girls :)

OMG Begonia!!! Congrats!!! So happy for you :D You ladies are on a roll this month.

Happy Anniversary Tink! What are you doing to celebrate? My DH and I have been married and together for the same length of time. It's amazing how in love you can still be isn't it? I think I love him more now than I ever have.

[Tink18]

well Tonight we are just going to bbq some Tri tip at home and have some wine. I am skipping boot camp tonight. Although I really don't want too! LOL DH wants to me to spend some time together. But this weekend we are going to the beach to go wine tasting and have some alone time. My mom will take DD and we are going to get drunk and do it all over the beach! wahooo!

Yes, it's crazy. I was 19 when i met him, he was 25. Now I'm 29 him almost 35. And I swear, i love him more now then I did almost 10 years ago. And he better love me he is covered in tattoos dedicated to me and our daughter. I have his nickname tattooed on inside of my lip. LOL my little secret. My DH tells people. "I'm always in her mouth" classy huh! Most people don't even know about it unless i tell them!because i don't have other tattoos except a few little ones that are mostly hidden as well. He just makes me laugh all the time, we still have so much fun together. which is so important. I feel lucky, I think the best thing about him, is he has always let me be me...most woman are with men that control them and Keith has always been so supportive of who I am. And i love him for that.

[Plum3]

Aww, sounds nice. I've never done it on the beach, it's on my places to do list.

A tat in your mouth? Farrr, did that hurt? My DH has tattoos of our girls names but not mine yet. I keep teasing him about it. I want my name tattoeed too! I'm too much of a sook to get one done.

[3Pink1Blue]

I too am a tattooed girl (ankle and shoulder blade) but dh is pristine lol

Tink - I met dh when I was 16 married him when at 20, scary young I know. After 17 years together and 13 years married he's still my favorite grown up. I think still loving someone so many years later is about picking the right someone and not trying to turn who you have into the right someone. Anyway congrats and enjoy your boozy beach boinkin!

[Cheekymoo]

Beg -congrats :) wow this has been a fab month! Are you finding out the sex or waiting for a suprise? I can't wait to find out what all you girls end up having and 8 months is a long long time LOL

[Kris217]

Well AF is definitely here, oh well in 2 weeks i can try again! I don't think we are getting the sperm close enough to the cervix...i will be looking into a different method or something as i believe the syringes just aren't big enough....well compared to a penis iykwim?

[Kris217]

When we first tried in America we bought some catheters that went into you uterus so i might see if i can buy more even just to get it right onto the cervix. Some women use turkey basters but i think that's too big lol

Are you using the 60ml syringes? They're about the right size I would think.

[Kris217]

Are you using the 60ml syringes? They're about the right size I would think.

No we use 10ml, i wasn't aware of a 6ml....might have to check those out. Thanks Bec, and TTC i will google it after dinner :)

[SpicyTunaSushi]

Congrats Begonia!

Just sneaking it, but taking a break this cycle after Dh's fever. Pos OPK today, so about a month away from next trial. Glad to see another BFP!

[babydes56]

Big congrats to Begonia!! I knew it, i knew it.. So thrilled for you

Boyjoy, good to hear you looking forward to your little girl. I'm sure she'll bring you so much joy!

Tink, you one crazy girl! Enjoy your beach bonking.. good thing you dont live in Dubai coz you'd be arrested!

Bec, Nov will be here before you know it & then it's baby making time

3PNB, i sooo agree with you about picking the right someone and not trying to turn who you have into the right someone

[babydes56]

When we first tried in America we bought some catheters that went into you uterus so i might see if i can buy more even just to get it right onto the cervix. Some women use turkey basters but i think that's too big lol

Kris, sorry about bfn. Could you tell me how you do the baby making thing. Do you have a regular donor, can the hosp do an iui for you to make sure it gets to cervix?

[Kris217]

That's awesome girl, congratulations!!! I'm so happy quite a few of you got BFP's this month!!

[Kris217]

Kris, sorry about bfn. Could you tell me how you do the baby making thing. Do you have a regular donor, can the hosp do an iui for you to make sure it gets to cervix?

Well i do have a new donor, used him this past month and will use him again if he's willing to help. The cost of IUI is roughly the same as IVF after the rebates so i didn't want to go down that path in case it didn't work. The sperm is $950 per vial and you only get one shot with it, but if i did IVF they'd fertilise as many eggs as they could with it and freeze them for subsequent attempts.

I will do IVF if home inseminations don't work. As for what we have done here is the method we've been using-
Track ovulation with opk's and clearblue digital to make sure the timing is right, head to Sydney and pick up the donor to come to our hotel to do his thing. Once he is done he calls us so we come back into the room and my partner drives him home. I use some preseed then suck up the sperm with a 10ml syringe...no needle obviously :P It's very fast so the sperm doesn't have too long to sit around in the cup.
Then lay down with hips propped, put it in as far as it goes then slowly squirt it in. have a big O then lay there as long as i can. When i need to pee i put in an instead cup for a few hours then do the same thing the next day. I do have a vag speculum like dr's use, the first time we used that it pulled all the sperm out with it so i'm scared to use it again.
I thought maybe my partner could find my cervix and squirt a little on it then remove the speculum and inject the rest??

[Plum3]

No we use 10ml, i wasn't aware of a 6ml....might have to check those out. Thanks Bec, and TTC i will google it after dinner :)

Oh the 60ml syringes will work so much better at getting those little swimmers closer to the cervix. They're quite big though.

Ok i get you now. I cant believe IUI is the same price as IVF, in England it's free of charge for IUI & roughly £2700 for IVF. It must be stressful to go through all that, i really wish you all the best & pray that you get preggers soon.
It's a good idea like you said to have your partner to help with injecting, you'll have better chances. Have you looked at web for people who are using the same method as you are, you could get some helpful tips on what they are using to inject

[Kris217]

Oh the 60ml syringes will work so much better at getting those little swimmers closer to the cervix. They're quite big though.

I just looked them up on e-bay and will be ordering some of those, thanks so much Bec!!! I'm curious though about their size, unless there is a smaller size i could use...let me check :)

Wow, i wish our IUI was free! I think they charge too much here but what can ya do. We have looked it up online and most people seem to be doing what we're doing. I will try the larger syringes to see if i can get closer to my cervix with those.

[begonia]

Thanks for the congratulations guys! It is slowly sinking in. I'm a little shocked still though and haven't gotten to tell DH yet ... probably won't for about a week since my parents are here and I don't want them to know.

I'll post my sway next week TTC5! There's just no way I'll get a minute to myself to do it this week, sorry!

Oh and Cheekymoo I will nubsess but we won't find out til birth! We found out with our 1st two and DH has always wanted a surprise, so I promised we'd wait on this one!

[ELP]

Many many congratulations B!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What an amazing month for bfp's:) H&H 9 months :HH:

[boyjoy]

Boyjoy, I was with DD at an amusement park today and there were 3 girls there who had to be in their late 20's and one had a shirt that said "Big Sister" another, "Middle Sister" and the 3rd, of course ...

Oh my God, Congrats B, hope you have a healthy and happy 9 months and as result hold your little boy!!

Those sisters sounds so sweet. My mom has 5 sisters no bro :) and i know how fun to have sisters, and my dad has 4 bro no sis and i can say i am at the lucky side according to my experiences :D Maybe this is just a self comforting but i am sure if i was an all boy mama i would find peace there, too. Life is short and we need to find a way to live it as good as possible. I can t spend my time with grief of my unborn boy :) Plus we are not done of having kid :) Hope 2 of 2 be boy :D lol .....

Jen, i have to say, your pic gave me inspiration of thinking of 3 DDs. I am sure it ll be fun..

[atomic sagebrush]

AAAAAAAAA I don't usually read this thread but it popped up and just wanted to say HUGE congrats begonia! I'm sending you a Sahara-worth of blue dust.

[boyjoy]

Hi Boyjoy, it's nice to hear you are happy with three girls :)



Thank you Bec, i don t think people can be unhappy with three girls, but the thing is to be happy without a son and i did deal with it for now :)

Wanna say hi to all new Blue Crew moms and mom to be s. Hoping to you all, healthy happy son-shines.......

[hope.ful]

CONGRATS, Begonia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So excited for you and all the other BFP's this month!!

Regarding my sway, does anyone have experience with not ovulating? I'm pretty puzzled that I haven't at all, especially cosidering we had a one shot wonder with our DD2 and it only took one extra month to get pg with DD1. But that's been 3 and 6 years ago and I'm now 30. Any thoughts, friends? The only supps I am taking is a prenatal with DHA, and extra folic acid on top of that. I am on the diet, and eat very little sugar and very little calcium with high protein, potassium, and salt. Thanks for your thoughts.

My Ovulation Chart (http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/35af7b)

[Tink18]

Ahhhhhh Begonia! Ommmmgggg! Congrats! Xoxo I can't believe you haven't told you DH yet? Haha but we all know! Tell him in a really cool way!

[DebH]

Well it seems ic are no good for me!! Went and got a first response from the shops and it's a............BFP!!!

Came up straight away even not with fmu! Have been feeling like I need to be sick for a few days and oh so tired!!can't believe it!!! Thanks all for your help!!!

Haven't been on in a few days - Congratulations!

[DebH]

Thanks for the congratulations guys! It is slowly sinking in. I'm a little shocked still though and haven't gotten to tell DH yet ... probably won't for about a week since my parents are here and I don't want them to know.

I'll post my sway next week TTC5! There's just no way I'll get a minute to myself to do it this week, sorry!

Oh and Cheekymoo I will nubsess but we won't find out til birth! We found out with our 1st two and DH has always wanted a surprise, so I promised we'd wait on this one!

Congrats on your BFP Begonia!!! Haven't posted my sway yet either!

[lightofmylife]

Ohhh Congrats Begonia , Good luck for sticky blue bean :)

[begonia]

You guys are really just the best, thank you soooooooooo much for all the congrats! I can't possibly tell you all how great it makes me feel to read it! I admit being a little slow to be excited myself bc I am a tad sad knowing this will be my last time to experience this, but you all have made me feel just wonderful about it and right now, I am super super excited. Xoxoxox!

Atomic I will take all the blue dust I can get :-). Thank you so much for chiming in when I needed help with my timing a couple weeks ago!

Boyjoy your perspective is fabulous!! And if you're having more kiddos then all the more reason to celebrate a healthy baby girl joining your family; you will stil have your shot at blue. FX you get it in the future!

Tink I know, right! I so need to tell him in a cool way! My dad and stepmom are with us til next thurs and it is cramping my style, lol. So I am brainstorming...

Fun thing is I will be due a week before spring break, so the girls will be out of school that week to see the new baby :-)

June has been a crazy month for our BFPs! Who else is attempting soon? I know TTC5 is days away... we have Alexis in the 2ww. And Princess...she should be nearing a test date, right?

[Zivic-Bubac]

Which is good, since I came home and POAS and got my BFP. HOLY *&%%$#. After 5 days of nausea and 2 days of sore boobs at least I know why .... Begonia, I'm so happy for you!!!! Huge congrats!!!! :cheer:
I guess June is our lucky month!!!! :luck::luck::luck:

[Zivic-Bubac]

My little girl is moving a lot these days. This helps me with the idea of 3 girls :) When i think 3 girls dressed and with the hair bows i find myself smile.. It s gonna be a nice experience.
It s good to be here again.
Boyjoy it's good to finally have you back!!!! Congrats on your baby girl :awe:
Did you know I caught myself thinking how much my life would be easier if I had another girl? I love having girls, they could share the same room and I have a lot of pink clothes :p I've asked my DH how he would feel with 3rd girl and he said: Honey, I've told you zillion times, I only want 2 kids. :rofl: Men...You have to love them...

It's a great thing you are planning more kiddos, esp if DH is on board :agree:

Enjoy your pregnancy! :luck::XX::luck:

[hope.ful]

No.way. I am on CD 19 and have been POAS for nearly 2 weeks. I just got my first OPK+, just hours after my DH left for a 4 day business trip. Seriously?! I can't believe it, but am so relieved that I actually am going to ovulate this month (and that he got to work!). It had me so puzzled! On to TTC in July after a little vacation to the in-laws! A little disappointed that we can't tell them our good news, but it would have been mega early anyway, and it's our third, so it's not as big of a deal. Maybe they will come see us this Fall and we can spill the beans then!

Begonia, I did a lot of searching on how to announce my pregnancy, and with the first I put a roll in the oven (dh calls everything a bun) and was acting like a blonde and told him to turn on the oven for supper, but make sure there's nothing in there and he opened it and said 'there's a roll in the oven?!' and I said yes, there is a bun in the oven. Then with the in-laws, I wrapped up baby shoes and gave it to them for Mother's or Father's Day or whatever it was. I love announcing it in a fun way!! So excited for you!!

[iluvmyman]

Congrats on your BFP Begonia!!! Haven't posted my sway yet either!

OMG, OMG, OMG B!!!!!!! Congrats!!!!!! I'm still camping and came to the lodge real quick to check email. YAY!!!!!! AF for me but maybe next month. :)

[jane]

Thank you Bec, i don t think people can be unhappy with three girls, but the thing is to be happy without a son and i did deal with it for now :)

Wanna say hi to all new Blue Crew moms and mom to be s. Hoping to you all, healthy happy son-shines.......thats a nice way of putting it:awe:

[TTC5]

CONGRATS, Begonia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So excited for you and all the other BFP's this month!!

Regarding my sway, does anyone have experience with not ovulating? I'm pretty puzzled that I haven't at all, especially cosidering we had a one shot wonder with our DD2 and it only took one extra month to get pg with DD1. But that's been 3 and 6 years ago and I'm now 30. Any thoughts, friends? The only supps I am taking is a prenatal with DHA, and extra folic acid on top of that. I am on the diet, and eat very little sugar and very little calcium with high protein, potassium, and salt. Thanks for your thoughts.

Have you been to your gp they can run tests to see if you are o'ing? xx

[hope.ful]

Have you been to your gp they can run tests to see if you are o'ing? xx

No, but right after I posted that, I tested on CD19 (I really think my mucus had already shifted 2 days prior, is that possible?!) just for the fun of it and I got an OPK + so I was just really, really late. My girls were sick when I should have O'd and I was up at night a lot, so I'm guessing it could have been that. Plus, work is nutty and finances are a tad shaky, so there's been some stress you could say. I hope that helps my boy sway!! =)

[TTC5]

Oh glad to hear you got a +opk! So did you attempt?

[ELP]

Did anybody see Sunnyinflorida's news on IG??;)

[TTC5]

I just saw it on here!!!!

[princessap]

Did anybody see Sunnyinflorida's news on IG??;)

No, keep us posted!

[princessap]

Begonia. congrats again and thanks for thinking of me.

I was originally going to wait to see if AF arrives but now i will be testing on monday morning. We are taking out girls to an amusement park that day so if it is positive no rides for me and if negative then I will be enjoying everything!
I have a feeling i am out this month. Just a feeling. Had a little cramping and twinge 8dpo and sore boobs today but that happens before my period too. It was so much easier when Ttc was not this stressful!

[begonia]

Happy to see you check in Princess... FX for you! I took DD to an amusement park the day I got my bfp so I will hope there is something lucky about it for you too. Keep us posted!

[princessap]

thanks Begonia!
How are you feeling?

[babydes56]

Princess, i hope you get your bfp this month! Cant wait to hear your news on Mon. We've been really lucky this month with BFP so i hope we can add you too!

Begonia, have you told DH yet? How you feeling?

Just saw on IG that Overthewind's having a girl, remember her?

[Zivic-Bubac]

Just saw on IG that Overthewind's having a girl, remember her?
Overthewind is boyjoy here ( at least I think so:think:) She announced here she's having a girl few pages ago lol!

FX for you princess that the amusement park is lucky for you too then!

[TTC5]

Fx princess!!

[babydes56]

Overthewind is boyjoy here ( at least I think so:think:) She announced here she's having a girl few pages ago lol!

I didnt realise it was the same person, thanks for letting me know

[princessap]

Fx princess!!

thanks!

[begonia]

Will be checking in tomorrow with FX for you Princess. I would LOVE to see you get that BFP this month after all you've been through ... it is your turn for sure IMO! FX FX FX!!!!

Ha, Babydes I didn't realize OTW and Boyjoy were the same either! Good to know! I feel OK, thanks for asking! Still nauseated and hoping the early onset doesn't mean twins. How are you feeling? More pregnant these days? Any aversions or anything?

Hope everyone is having a great weekend :-)

[3Pink1Blue]

Princess - eagerly awaiting tomorrow's news!

B- With preg #1 & 5 I was nauseated from before the bfp so fx it's not twins :wink:

What's Sunny's news I missed it? Please tell me it's a boy!

Almost have the m/s under control (I hope) but the exhaustion is still kicking my ass.
So extra lovin' my dh this weekend. Yesterday was our local race track's birthday party so free admission, cake, face painting and bounce houses all while having a bunch of different races going on. My dh, who has never cared about not having a son, packed up all 3 girls and took 'em to the track. Funny thing is all the boy pressure comes from his family but yet he has never said or thought he couldn't do any typical boy dad stuff because he only has girls. He could care less about the genders of our kids and I'm adoring him extra for that right now.

[babydes56]

Begonia, i cant believe that nausea can start that early! I hope it wont last forever. A lady i work with was telling me that her daughter who's preg is still throwing up & feeling nausea, she's giving birth anytime now. Apparently she throws up day & night & couldnt work the first 3mnths of her pregnancy..

3PNB, that's so sweet about DH!

I'm feeling preg now definitely. Feeling icky now & starving the whole time. The peeing at night time has also started. I'm going for a scan on thrs so wish me luck, hope to see a strong heartbeat

PHEW. Good to know re: the m/s. Twins run in the fam for us and I know the more kids you already have and the older you are the more likely it is, so my radar is always up.

And DH is just the same! Our DDs go golf with him, go camp with him (and his friends who have boys), go fishing ... and they totally love it. The DS desire is definitely more me than him. Though I know he'd be ecstatic if we did end up with a son, b/c he's super close to his own dad. Anyhow that is super sweet that he took them so you could rest. I've been hit with the exhaustion big time too. I used to go to bed at 11 and now it's 9. I'd happily go at 8 if I could get my DD's to sleep early enough!

Babydes I'm sorry you're not feeling great but also glad you're feeling pregnant, I know it just feels a little better to have some symptoms. So excited to hear about your scan! Seeing that heartbeat will be awesome :-)

Oh and Jen Sunny is pg! Just happened though!

I finally did just fess up and tell DH in a non-exciting way. It's been hard to find time with just the 2 of us since my folks are visiting, and I needed him to know why I wasn't drinking, LOL!

[hope.ful]

Oh glad to hear you got a +opk! So did you attempt?

No, hubby had just left for a 4 day business trip...maybe we'll get it done in July!

[princessap]

Will be checking in tomorrow with FX for you Princess. I would LOVE to see you get that BFP this month after all you've been through ... it is your turn for sure IMO! FX FX FX!!!!

Ahhh. thanks Begonia. It has definitely been a tough year. I am not feeling optimistic about getting a bfp this month
Crampy today :(
if we werent going to the amusement park I wouldnt test at all.

[Cheekymoo]

Princess- still hoping for you :)

Preggo ladies- All this MS/ tiredness stuff is reminding me what it's like to be preggo-( it's amazing how fast you forget)- It doesn't sound like fun at all I really hope it passes for you all soon :) mabye it is worse because they are boys baking in there?

TTC5- Any news? you trying this month? I wanted to ask you did you find the mucinex dried you up? I am freaking out as I have alot more creamy CM normally and the only thing different this month is the gelatine and the mucinex ? I soo don't wanna stuff this up!

Okay ladies I need some tips! How are you managing to 'o' 3x a day for a week? I thought i had a reasonable sex drive but man this is starting to feel like hard work LOL I am actually wondering if I will have a ummm 'you know what' left is it possible to wear it down from to much friction? I am thinking about cutting back a bit just so I will be good for the big day. Or do you just get used to it ? like your nipples when breastfeeding?

[TTC5]

Hi Cheekymoo, I have creamy cm yet to see any EWCM but O is still a few days away yet.. do you think mucinex dries you up?

ASF - you watch ladies I will fall pregnant this cycle all because.

1) I ran out of ural/wheatgrass/potassium and vit e this morning.. I had some money

2) My pH tester batteries must have died since testing last cycle AGHHH

3) I go to get in the car to buy these and my car has no petrol!!!!!

4) Walk to the petrol station and realise I do not have enough $$ in the bank LOL

Oh and my biorhythms and moon are all in strong girl zone - LOL!!!!!!

Hoping I can scrounge some $$ when DH get's home... I am due to attempt in 2 ish days!!!!

I knew last cycle was going far too smoothly to work out LOL

I can only O once a day - or once every two days at the most!

[Plum3]

Princess, FX for you!

Cheeky, I agree... I can't wait to have all the prego symptoms again. I say that now anyway. Do you O 3 times throughout the day or consecutively?

TTC5, what a bad run you've had today. Will you still attempt?

[TTC5]

I want to.... do you think I should? .... Hoping to grab those supps later today?

[Plum3]

Well you've been doing the same things as last month haven't you? I would go for it! I just remember you saying you were going to see what your pH was like and go from there.

[TTC5]

Yep! Will get new batteries either later this evening if DH has any cashola lol and test my pH this evening :)

[Plum3]

FX crossed it's as good as last month. You're DTD twice this month aren't you?

[Kris217]

Damn what a day, nothing but bad luck!

[TTC5]

FX crossed it's as good as last month. You're DTD twice this month aren't you?

No idea yet :S
What do you girls think?

[Kris217]

I'd do it twice if I were you, as close to ovulation as possible so both attempts are before O+12.

[Plum3]

I guess it depends on how long you are willingly to wait til you get your BFP. You could always try DTD just once again this cycle and if it doesn't work then try twice next attempt? But hopefully you wont need to worry about that anyway!

[TTC5]

Well I am not in a rush (just in a rush to end this damn diet lol) but yes if it didn't work this time I think I will be willing to try one more cycle and after that try 2 times.

[TTC5]

I'd do it twice if I were you, as close to ovulation as possible so both attempts are before O+12.

I am so paranoid though that knowing my luck if I go 0-2 I will get a girl, plus 0-2 would mean I have to attempt tonight, right?

[Plum3]

I spoke to my DH about how many times we will dtd and he wants to do it just once. Serious swayer I have there.

If you normally O on CD14 that would mean you would attempt tomorrow night being CD12... I think that's right?

[princessap]

Well ladies BFN today :(
I am officially done with swaying. I just really want to be pregnant!
Thanks for all the support on here and good luck to everyone. Hope you all have a healthy and happy nine months.
take care

[SpicyTunaSushi]

I did this one cycle, by accident, and then one cycle with just one try! Both didn't work. I think for my next cycle (I skipped this one) I am going to try to do 0-3 and 0-1. I O in the morning and I want them to be there waiting. DH is going to be out of town so I can't do 0-2 and 0.

I told DH if we don't get pregnant after two cycles of dtd just once we will be doing it twice thereafter. I can't handle getting BFNs!

[Cheekymoo]

TTC5-I agree with bec it would be tomorrow night cycle day 12 DTD then again on the day.....do you have a guess as to when in the day you ovulate? I have kinda worked out I ovulate generally late late evening CD15- morning CD16 ish ATM so based on that I would prob do CD13 then again late CD15 to avoid o+12 so It can kinda depend on your pattern as well as when you can manage to BD IYKWIM?

Also yes I am wondering if the gelatine/ mucinex can dry me up? I am drinking Tons of fluid ATM but am really dry ?? Its wierd I can normally just see what CM looks like when I take off my knickers but right when i need it it seems to have gone missing and I thought I should have MORE not less.... I am seriously considering going off one or the other for the next day or so and see if it changes anything but I am due to ovulate thurs ! Oh what to do?? Why did I not trial this last month???:rolleyes: so much for thinking of everything........I just want my normal CM back at least..... hey you don't think too many 'o's could have stolen my CM :suprise:LOL???

BEC- I am with you we will prob do the one shot thing 2 cycles then i will be going to twice I can't handle BFN either!

[TTC5]

I would be more inclined the geltine would dry you out as opposed to the mucinex?

ASF - well have a little look on my FF chart if you like, link in my sig. I tend to get + opk on cd 13 and 14... and FF picked up O on CD 14, I was going for attempt on cd 13 to avoid a O+12 territory and better to be earlier for a boy than later?

[begonia]

Oh Princess I'm sorry you got the BFN! I guess your intuition was correct. Here's hoping dropping the sway gets you knocked up in no time. Do check in and let us know how you're getting along from time to time, we'll miss you!

TTC5 if you can get the 1-shot deal according to plan I would totally try for it. If my DH had been swaying that would have been my goal, but since he wasn't I just tried to time our BD as best as I could so we ended up with 2x. 'Tis what 'tis now! I feel like I did so much else that I'm comfortable with it.

Iluv I forgot to say how fun it was that you checked in while camping! That is dedication :-) I hope you're having a great time!!!

[babydes56]

Princess, so sorry hun! I was feeling the way you are just before i got bfp so i hear you about giving swaying a miss. Do let us know how you keeping from time to time.

I feel fed up today, no nausea just fed up. I think it has a lot to do with DH not being home for a month now, also it's hot here for a change & i'm just feeling lethargic. The thought of what to cook for dinner's just making me feel worse aaargh! Anyway sorry for being so grumpy, it's just one of them days

Thanks Babydes. It has been such a tough year and it has never taken me long to get pregnant before. our loss was the longest with 3 months trying. I figured knowing when I oed would make it easier not harder :(
my dh thinks i am thinking about it too much which is easier said than done.
I am taking july off of ttc altogether as it would put my due date too close to my due date for my loss. Then in August I will decide what to
do. i am not a hardcore swayer really just timing and some diet changes. When I conceived my DDs my diet was very
girl friendly. maybe the small changes will be enough.
I can honestly say I just want a healthy baby.
Will keep in touch

[boyjoy]

Princessap, sorry for BFN, 1 year trying is a long time and need to see by a OB-GYN, Did you go for a check after your m/c. Hope you see double line soon..

[princessap]

Princessap, sorry for BFN, 1 year trying is a long time and need to see by a OB-GYN, Did you go for a check after your m/c. Hope you see double line soon..

thanks boyjoy. we havent been trying for a year. We
started trying last march and Igot pregnant first month and then lost it. We waited a
month and started ttc again. it took us three months and we got pregnant with our son who we lost at 14 weeks in October. We then started ttc again january.
I am a nurse and work with my OB so I followed up with her three times and she
did bloodwork, genetic tests, etc
She
didnt think it was necessary but did it for me as a
favour. Will see what the summer brings.

[boyjoy]

Ok, so keep trying girl, i am sure that hyper boy is giving you extra time to get some rest. Hope July ll be your month if it s not June! As you ll skip July so FX for August.

[cemas]

CONGRATS, Begonia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So excited for you ....Lucky you to get ur BFP on the 1st sway shot!!!
Sorry for the late congrats. i was out on vacation and just back today....Catching up an work mails all morn and now a peek here and i came across ur great news.
wishing u a healthy happy 9 months with a blue bean:)

[LolaInLove]

BEGONIA!!!! Congrats from me also!!! Just back at the office although I did read a few posts earlier last week on my iphone. You lucky duck, OHW!

[LolaInLove]

Ooops, hit send too quick there, I was gonna post a bunch of balloons and such! LOL I am so excited that we have so many bfps in the groups. Congrats to AMS also!!!!

Hope everyone is doing well and the morning sickness monster isn't getting any of you too badly.

Boyjoy, I hope you are doing ok and congrats on your little chica! I know it's not what you hoped for initially, but you are lucky to have a healthy little baby cooking there. She will be awesome!

So much to comment on.....forgetting where I am....so lots of attempts coming up soon also, yeah? Lots of luck to everyone, seems like the blue crew is on a roll.

TTC5, I know it's confusing with the frequency, but don't stress about it too much as you know TONS of boys are conceived with all sorts of bd patterns. And sorry about your crappy luck day! I did LOL about that, as I have them often myself. I just have to laugh now.

As for me, rolling into another o cycle now, about CD7 or so. Skipping this month, which is painful and hard to do, but just hoping my system has enough happy eggs by August to not make a bunk bean again.

Lots o' love, everyone.......check in later!

[Tink18]

Hi girls! How is everyone! Our anniversary was awesome! Long weekend, but fun! I uploaded so many pics to my FB my fingers hurt! haha~ WHat have I missed!! Im exhausted!!! DD, is watchign Tinkerbell and I am so ok with her watching TV right now. We have already been in the pool today, played play-doh...read books..MOmmy needs a break!

Anyways just checking in!! xoxo

[TTC5]

Princess sorry about your AF :(

[TTC5]

AFM ladies see my latest post in Critique my Sway.....

[Kris217]

Sorry about the bfn, best of luck to you when you next try. When ever that may be, you'll get your bub don't worry :)

[begonia]

Thanks Cemas and Lola! I'm still getting used to the idea. So is DH ... I swear the way we reacted you'd think we had NO IDEA we could have gotten pregnant DTD unprotected on O day, LOL. I think we thought it would just be fun to give it an early go, but that *really* we just wouldn't get pg til this fall, since *really* that was better timing for us. Like a couple teenagers thinking you can't get pg the 1st time you BD :rofl: But we're excited and there are some great reasons that March works well for us too.

TTC5 I think your reasoning for skipping is perfect, esp if you and DH are of the same mind on it! Good for you! That'll give you another handful of weeks of supps and diet for you, so you should be in great shape for getting that :ttcboy: next cycle.

Tink I'm so glad you had a lovely time! There's nothing better than a happy marriage :heart: I love hearing about people in love. 'Cause I'm a cheeseball like that.

You know you're pregnant when you type "cheeseball" and immediately wonder if you have any of those in the pantry....

[begonia]

LOL. I just had to double check my post because I was SURE I typed "panty" instead of "pantry" and had a nice little laugh here by myself at the idea of checking for cheeseballs in my panties.

Yes, I'm easily amused.

[TTC5]

ahh now I am not sure lol.. I just got new batteries for the pH tester and I am a 7!!! I have never ever ever been this high naturally!!!!!! :O

[TTC5]

Our concerns are:
We had 2 weeks off during the TWW last cycle and have only been back on for 2 weeks, although have been doing this since late January/February.
Hubby had 3 days off gelatine due to a tummy bug.. and he has not been cooling his jewels so to speak..
We have had a few treats here and there like a handful of lollies and a few choc biscuits.
Other then that, the diet has been back on track lots of meat, potato, tomato and banana, vegie, dried fruits, cereal, wholegrains, oat milk, eggs, salt, orange and pineapple juice.

[TTC5]

Oh and not sure if this is coi-incedence but today have given the gelatine drink a miss AND my EWCM is picking up a notch.. only a little but better than yesterday. Last cycle my ewcm was quite poor!

I do wonder if this stuff does have a drying affect..

[jane]

LOL. I just had to double check my post because I was SURE I typed "panty" instead of "pantry" and had a nice little laugh here by myself at the idea of checking for cheeseballs in my panties.

Yes, I'm easily amused.:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:youve done it again begonia!

Yes, I'm easily amused.

HAHAHAHA

[jane]

ttc5,have you any idea why im still getting loads of mucus even though i had my positive opk on saturday? i had 2 days of ewcm on fri&sat,then dry for a day then yesterday and today very mucusy(tinged with cream)????????

[TTC5]

I have read some ladies so stay like that after O.... and it can also be a sign of pregnancy. Do you chart your temps?

[jane]

I have read some ladies so stay like that after O.... and it can also be a sign of pregnancy. Do you chart your temps?
no,i didnt as my smiley opk was early(unexpected)i just thought that once you o you dry up?

[TTC5]

Some dry up quicker than others :)
Are you taking fish oil?
How many days to you keep testing with an opk for? Maybe you O'd later than you thought and you are one of those who get more than one day of +'s.

[TTC5]

Also, have heard you can build up to surge and then not ovulate and then build back up again and O.

[jane]

Also, have heard you can build up to surge and then not ovulate and then build back up again and O.oh,great!:mad:if i did, it would have been perfect timing as it wasnt good timing on saturday! i got a positive at 3pm saturday,by 7pm it had gone,then just to make sure, i checked the day after and yesterday cos of all the mucus, both negative. no im not on fish oil, i do take 2000mg of epo though. i didnt think we are meant to produce much mucus after o?

[TTC5]

HMM so hard to say would be easier if you charted so we could double check... did you test Sat morning or anytime before the surge at 3pm?

[jane]

HMM so hard to say would be easier if you charted so we could double check... did you test Sat morning or anytime before the surge at 3pm?i know, sorry. i tested at 4pm friday and no smile so it would have had to have happened between that and saturdays tests! cant beleive how discouraging this process is isnt it.

[TTC5]

It is stressful hey!!!

[sunnyebsh]

Hmmm. I noticed the same dots on myself today in the shower. And I'm still nauseous. But only 5 DPO. No cramping. Lots of CM though.

Ams I'm sorry you're out! 4 months isn't a long time TTC for most people, KWIM? I understand you normally get pg sooner but maybe take it as a positive that this is not happening like it did the other times, since those were girls and you're shooting for a boy... I don't think it is that some can't carry boys. Are you only doing 1 attempt on O day? Because that could also explain why it is taking longer. I'm not sure of the stats on how long it takes swayers to conceive; I think the best you could do to figure that out would be to look at the surveys posted on the various sites and see how many months it took the posters to get pg. FX next month is lucky for you!

CONGRATULATION BEGONIA....I just knew it....when you posted about those dots that I had....when is your due date?

[Cheekymoo]

ahh now I am not sure lol.. I just got new batteries for the pH tester and I am a 7!!! I have never ever ever been this high naturally!!!!!! :O

YAY! Thats fab! :)

[Cheekymoo]

Oh and not sure if this is coi-incedence but today have given the gelatine drink a miss AND my EWCM is picking up a notch.. only a little but better than yesterday. Last cycle my ewcm was quite poor!

I do wonder if this stuff does have a drying affect..

I am wondering as well as I skipped the midday one today and - seem to have picked up a bit in the CM department.....

[TTC5]

I have definately picked up heaps in just a matter of a few hours.. I am takin cough syrup so that helps. You know, I think gelatine is hindering my CM for sure!!!

[Cheekymoo]

tink - glad you enjoyed yourself!

Babydes- Hope you feel better tomorrow damn hormones!

Begonia - That is hilarious that you guys felt like it wouldn't happen :) just typical really that it did- but lucky you don't have to go through months and months more of diet etc!

AFM- started opks today :) and gave the gelatine a miss midday and CM has picked up a bit - coincidence?? Not sure but might do the same tommorrow What do you think is more important- Good CM OR Gelatine(testosterone) if I have to pick??

[TTC5]

I'm going with the good quality CM! I decided to drop it today too :)

[jane]

[TTC5]

Ok the pee'ing obsession has begun haha!
I have getting tons of EWCM YAYYYYYYYYYYY For once hehehehe
I highly recommend to anyone struggling with ewcm to drop the gelatine for the day of, or day before attempt as just by doing this I have a huge difference :)

Now back to pee'ing!

I tried one of my CBDigi tests and omg LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was - but put my mind at ease as I have tonns of ewcm!!!

Think we will DTD tomorrow, my confidence has now returned 10fold!

[Plum3]

Is gelatine known to dry up CM? It's on my list but I worry about things that will hinder EWCM especially since Clomid dries me up too.

TTC5, and so it all starts again, yay!

Cheeky, I think I would go with CM. But that's just me. Are you doing other things to increase your testpsterone?

Speaking of testosterone I did a big weight sesh tonight and boy am I one sore little lady.

[begonia]

Jane, on the CM post O, even when I wasn't pg I would get a some for days ... sometimes even the day before AF. I just chalked it up to being related to the dietary changes. Definitely had lots this cycle post O though with the pg. And getting lots still, which I don't remember with either of my others.

TTC5 what are you going to do?!?! Still skip?!? Give it a go?!? GO GO GO! Lol. So hard to pass up all that great CM and great pH, isn't it? What does DH think now?

Cheeky ITA - go for high quality CM, and if skipping gelatine helps you then I would skip!

Interesting that 2 of you are finding the gelatine to dry you up .... I never noticed that! I took it 3x a day but still had good CM for our attempt.

Bec good for you with the weights! Are you liking them? It is funny, for so long I never, ever did them, I found them dull, and now I love them. I plan to continue using them; don't want these lovely arm muscles to go away now that I'm pg.

Thank you Sunny!!! My EDD is 3/5! So strange about those red pin pricks, isn't it? Never would have thought of them as a symptom if you hadn't mentioned it. How are you feeling?

Babydes how're the hormones treating you? I can't wait to hear how the scan goes; hope you get to hear a nice strong heartbeat.

Jen how are you feeling? Did you kick the ms to the curb? It's kind of a good thing my parents are here visiting bc it is making me force myself to eat like a normal person, which is for sure healthier than the chips and Coke I would eat all day long if I didn't have to pretend food sounded delicious.

Lola I'm so excited you're back from vacay :-) Miss seeing you around!! Hope you had a lovely time!

[LolaInLove]

Some dry up quicker than others :)
Are you taking fish oil?
How many days to you keep testing with an opk for? Maybe you O'd later than you thought and you are one of those who get more than one day of +'s.

Jane, I agree with this totally. Sometimes I get a dry day or two, then a little bout of the creamy cm for a few days in the 2ww, when not pg. When I am pg, I get tons of creamy cm in the 2ww. The supps may be making you have more all around also. OR you ovulated a bit later than you thought.....they say you can ovulate anywhere from 12-48 hours after +opks, and I assume this means the latest +opk also. And many women get their ewcm a few days before they O, and it is not so much on O day, interestingly enough.

[LolaInLove]

I'm going with the good quality CM! I decided to drop it today too :)

:agree::agree::agree:

TTC5, way to go on your ph! Are you still giving this month a miss? I don't think 2 weeks off the diet or a few treats are going to mess you up, you've been (maybe loosley) but still doing diet for a while, yeah? But I hear you, I want to go for it this month myself but trying to do what my midwife suggested and give myself 3 full miss cycles. Plus, I've been drinking a good bit on vaca....my DH's family are crazy Polacks and love them some family parties with lots of cocktails!

[LolaInLove]

Begonia, I did have a blast, I feel so out of the loop! You made me LOL at your cheeseball comments, by the way. When I am pg, I am OBSESSED with anything cheese. So funny how you guys are still in shock too.....I would have been with a one shot deal also! But I am so happy for you that you didn't have to get fat as a house and do this agonizing ttc crap for months and months, for sure!!!!

So, read on, and see that TTC5, you may go for it! DO IT DO IT DO IT! Stars seem aligned!

And yes, ladies, if the gelatin is drying you up, drop that shit like a hot potato. I noticed no change with that stuff other than a much stronger gag reflex from choking down chunky ass jello beverages. And you know what about the cm......DON'T FREAK about it if yours seems sub-par....that is what the ew or preseed is for! Don't forget in swaying that there are 2 ways to do everything....you can get your body to do it naturally with diet, supps, etc, or you can fake it with bsf and ew/preseed. Of course, work for the natural as much as you can, no doubt, but add the fake if you need to in the end!

[Tink18]

Begonia, Did I miss anywhere that you told DH yet??

LOLa! I missed you!! xoxo

My calendar alerted me yesterday that i was suppose to start the boy diet, assuming were going TTC in Sept, thus while I was eating Ice cream. I thinking this diet is going to be really hard for me!

I have no idea what to eat besides lay next to my dog and chew on a steak.

[boyjoy]

Hey Lola, it s so good to see you again. Yes i am having another girl as far as we know :) I am ok and happy with that but still hoping for a delivery room surprise lol :) ykwim... How you doing? waiting for an august action and a spring baby .. Spring babies are so much easy to care.. DD2 is an end of April baby, not too hot not cold.. All best wishes for you.. GL

[boyjoy]

TTC5, i read that you are thinking of DTD twice. I did twice because of Ovulation trick. and got pg at my first try. You know the result. If you have patient and not close to menopause, try at least 6 times to get pg with one shot. I will do it for my 4th :) just my 2cnts. I know there are a lot of boy moms who DTD frequently but frequent BD gave me 2 princesses.. YKWIM. GL with your attempt. Hope results with a blue bfp!

[begonia]

Lola that's hilarious that you're obsessed with cheese when pg! I always end up eating candy. Massive amounts of candy. But so far it has been salt, and I think that is due to all the salt I was eating these past few months ... being on the diet for so long I think my tastes have just kinda changed! Love that you had a great vacay!

Tink I did tell DH! In a totally vanilla and dull way, because I didn't drink one night and he was like "oh come on, one beer? you love this beer!" (which is true, it was my fave summer brew) and since my parents were here I couldn't do anything super creative. So I just told him. And he was shocked and speechless, like me, and was kinda like, so much for waiting, huh? I wish at least one of our 3 could have been like, an amazing and wonderful event when we found out, but so far we've always been like "oh crap!!!" LOL. But then we totally adore them so make-up for our underwhelming initial reactions :bigsmile:

TTC5 I do agree with boyjoy, if you can time your BD to get a one-shot deal you might as well give it a go! I totally would have if I could have. We'll see how I ended up. At this point what's done is done :wink:

[Tink18]

hhahaha! That is so funny Begonia! When We found out we were Pregnant with DD. I took so many fricking rests. I was already late. Like 20 days late and had taken about 5 tests. All negative. Been to the docotr had blood work, negative. The day before DH's bday, we were getting in the shower. Just got back from a good friends wedding. I told dh "something is wrong with me, Im 20 days late and all these negatives" He goes "pee on one more test, if its come out neg we will go to the doc on the morning" i used my FMU, So I pee, one line, its neg, i get in the shower with DH, were both so sad, and just standing there, I am crying. I get out first, walk by the test. 2 LINES!!!!!!!! it had showed up while we were in the shower. I say OH MY GOD! DH goes what and pulls the curtain back i just show him he test, I swear he did a cartwheel in the shower. he gets out and goes I'm going to the store..comes back with just about every test you can buy, I pee on all of them, pregnant, pregnant, pregnant!!! It was so awesome! He picked me up and swung me around and we just mad out! She is now 2! I cant wait for that moment again! We are getting so close!! OMG I cant wait!!!

[begonia]

OH Tink what a great, great story!!!!! I LOVE THAT! See, DH and were talking about that .... like I know so many of my friends are just like, TOTALLY thrilled and over the moon when they get the BFP! But for DH and I both (thank goodness I feel like this too, or I'd probably smack his ass!) we get totally overwhelmed with the reality that we are having a BABY. Holy %^$@#. And we're going to have to take care of it?!?! What were we thinking?!?! :rofl:

When DD1 was born we were STILL shocked from the BFP 6 months before :bigsmile: But with DD2 I remember us both crying in the delivery room because we were just so happy to have another one ... and I'm 100% sure that it will be that way for #3, boy or girl :happy: SO FUN! I want everyone PREG now!

[begonia]

TTC5 am dying to know if you're going to attempt or not now ... I think you are but am wondering how your DH is feeling about it! So exciting!

When does Iluv get back from camping?!? She's been gone for-eva.

DD1 and DD2 found stamps and are covering each other with them right now and yelling "Stamp war!" LOL. I might should reign that in before my white couch gets some stamp action. Doritos are hard enough to get out. AAA! I just got stamped!

[3Pink1Blue]

ttc5- woohoo for your high pH! I don't think a few little things will hurt your sway.

Jane - once my cm picked up it never really went away till the few days around AF, it got a bit creamy after O and then went to more of a creamy ew.

B - sadly I have not fully kicked my m/s to the curb but I'm in a fairly reasonable state of queasy.

Tink and B - we never really tried with dd#1 we just stopped preventing and 6 wks later I as pregnant. When I saw the test I cried I was in so much shock it happened so fast, when I showed dh I thought he was going to puke lol We carefully planned each next pregnancy and we literally just assumed I was preg each first month and I always (until this time) was.

Well I've come to the conclusion I will never fully satisfy the needs of this fetus, it demands food all the time and if I don't eat the second it's requested I immediately cruise into nausea. I've had to abandon paleo and consult the food genie to be able to get anything in. And today, for extra fun, I now have a staggering head cold causing my right nostril to be simultaneously clogged and running while dd3 spent the morning throwing up. I was supposed to help with field day at the girls school but had to call and cancel :(
On the plus side Dh spent the last 4 dys home with us basically waiting on me hand and foot while taking care of the kids. I'm amazed he continues to impregnate me knowing how rough the first trimester can be lol
I'm officially past the point of my first m/c and just over 5 weeks from the second one. I'd like to say I'm relaxing a bit but that would be a lie, I still check every time I pee and lie down for a few minutes with every cramp. Hopefully getting to my 14 week appt (fx) will help me relax.

[Kris217]

Ok the pee'ing obsession has begun haha!
I have getting tons of EWCM YAYYYYYYYYYYY For once hehehehe

Yay you go girl! The clearblue digital tests are great, and so is ewcm!! :)

[Kris217]

Hey Lola, it s so good to see you again. Yes i am having another girl as far as we know :) I am ok and happy with that but still hoping for a delivery room surprise lol :) ykwim... How you doing? waiting for an august action and a spring baby .. Spring babies are so much easy to care.. DD2 is an end of April baby, not too hot not cold.. All best wishes for you.. GL

We all hear stories about our friends sisters friends cousin who had a surprise baby of the opposite sex...i know i have but now i've personally seen it. My sister had a baby girl 11 days ago and the dr thought all along she was a boy but nope. So there is always a chance that it's wrong....ya never know :)

[jane]

hi all, thanks for your reassuring comments:hugs: congrats to all those with bfp! ttc5,hope your attempt goes well,hope this is the one!

Wow that doesn't sound fun, glad your DH has been so good! Hopefully it will all be over in no time and you can enjoy the rest of your pregnancy!

Thankyou!!

:agree::agree::agree:

Yep going for it this cycle, my pH today half hour after bsf and an O hehe was just over 8!!!!!! Can't believe it!!

[TTC5]

Thankyou so much for that advice! Yes am too worried to go more than once too as we did the same frequent bd'ing and look how many girls we got from that ;)

[Kris217]

Yep going for it this cycle, my pH today half hour after bsf and an O hehe was just over 8!!!!!! Can't believe it!!

Woohoo that's awesome!

[TTC5]

So far neg opks but they are fading in and I do fade in quickly.. I tend to get +'s of an evening so have to see... do you think, of say I get a + tonight around oh, 7,9,9pm it would be ok to attempt around midnight or should we go for say 5am?? Otherwise we can't go till tomorrow night and I really do not want to risk an O+12. Sometimes I get 2 days + and sometimes I get just 1 day.

[Kris217]

I think if you left it till tomorrow night that might be too close to 0+12....

[TTC5]

That is my thoughts exactly!

So situation now is - opk just now at 6pm although when I tested at 2pm it is heaps darker since then :) I think it is close!
I am going to make a guess it will be + before midnight tonight.

Now, should I DTD when I get the + (am hoping it goes positive around 9pm like it usually does) so around midnight we will.. OR.. set my alarm and DTD around 5am that is, if DH will do the morning rush when girls wake at 6am..

[babydes56]

I would go for it in the morning if you get a +opk this evening. How many days abstinence has DH had?

[Plum3]

I think I would go for the morning as well, especially since you said you sometimes get +opk's for two days. And you're trying to plan your attempt on O day right?

[TTC5]

I would go for it in the morning if you get a +opk this evening. How many days abstinence has DH had?

Today is day 4! He is VERY sore and full to the max haha

[TTC5]

So you think waiting 5 hours will infact make a difference?

[Plum3]

Begonia, you know I am actually enjoying doing weights. I also did a heap of lunges last night and my butt is so sore. DH actually commented the other night that he thinks it feels firmer :) Go me!

Lola, sounds like you've had a good vacation. I don't know if you have read your post about FSH but I found some handy info re lowering FSH levels. Apparently wheat grass can lower them dramatically. Do you take it? I like your reasoning with the natural/fake approach to swaying. Makes me feel heaps more relaxed.

Tink, oh the irony! Your bfp story made me smile :)

Jen, sorry you've feeling so yuck. It must be nice to have DH home to look after you though. Make the most of it!

[Cheekymoo]

So you think waiting 5 hours will infact make a difference?

I don't think it will be a big difference if you do 'o' tomorrow but if you think there is a chance it may be the day after I would try and do the 5am.......

Man I am busting !!!! LOL I am waiting 20 mins to test again as i am getting a fade in too...If I get a positive tonight I should ovulate tomorrow but I have the same prob...when to BD? I am trying to convince hubby to do the morning then if by some chance it ends up being early day 16 it will be 24hrs before or 8/12hrs before if thurs......but he is NOT going for it ATM......I am waiting to see the results before I try to convince him.....I am so worried I will not DTD tonight and then end up with O + 12 tomorrow.....what to do....

[TTC5]

I am retesting in around 90 mins lol so will be 11pm here.. if + will try my best to stay awake and bd at midnight or even better 1am... I feel better being early than risk being in O+12..

How is your cm cheeky?

[Cheekymoo]

I am retesting in around 90 mins lol so will be 11pm here.. if + will try my best to stay awake and bd at midnight or even better 1am... I feel better being early than risk being in O+12..

How is your cm cheeky?

Bladder empty and panic avoided....OPK - !! and not even 'half dark!' so even if it comes positive overnight I seem to ovulate 24hrs after (so tomorrow night at earliest) which will be out of the 0+12 bracket should we leave the BD to tomorrow night- Mabye it was all meant to be as the chinese calender says girl if concieved in June and boy if in july ! The difference a day makes hey?LOL
As for CM it is still not fantastic but it exists which is wayy better than yesterday :) I will see how I am travelling tomorrow and make a decision whether to do any more gelatine...I totally stopped today! Hows yours?

I am getting bouts where on the outside of the vulvas and my undies are pretty dry yet after a bowel movement or if i go in to check I get plenty come away...

I am yet to pee again hehe oh the waiting.. looks like we may be going around 5am at this rate... is it even worth going to sleep!!??? LOL!

[jane]

I am yet to pee again hehe oh the waiting.. looks like we may be going around 5am at this rate... is it even worth going to sleep!!??? LOL!that happens with me too.(after bm) if you get a + at 11pm,shouldnt you dtd 12hours or a little more after?(11am etc) or is that a bad time for you?

[TTC5]

Yes they do say 12 hrs but I am sure I have also read it is ok anytime once it goes +?? I really have no idea what to do aghhh!! All I know is, i do not want to risk going near an O+12!!!!

[jane]

dont you find that you seem to have it all planned well then when its time, the panic sets in and things seem hard all of a sudden!:eek:

[TTC5]

This is what a poas addict looks like!!!!



And wait... is that a smiley I see!!! I was soooo excited to see that I ran and jumped around the room like it was the best thing since sliced bread LOL!!

Cheeky, hang tight. I would guess you will get a + today or tomorrow, maybe you will O in the next two days. If your DH is going on 4+ days of abstinence, I would have him release today asap (not unprotected in you, though) so he has about 48 hours at least to build em up. Keep testing!

[TTC5]

How funny that I seem to surge of a night and my waters always break at this time of the night too, lol!

[LolaInLove]

dont you find that you seem to have it all planned well then when its time, the panic sets in and things seem hard all of a sudden!:eek:

Welcome to swaying! LOL There isn't a single gal who doesn't feel this way. I FREAKED my first attempt, running around like I had to have my little bedside lab set up just right. DH was pretty amused. You get a bit more whatever about it each month that goes by. Best thing to do is have everything in order, so when you suddenly get your +opk, you can just go with the flow.

[begonia]

ITA with Lola Cheeky! Great advice all around.

TTC5 am so curious if you BDd night or morning! Either way I think it will be a great attempt; I really don't thikn 5 hours matters except in the case of 0+12 obviously. And you're not near that either way so you should be good to go! Whoo hoo!!!

Hooray for a firmer butt, Bec! :-)

Jen sorry there's so much sicky going around your casa! I am with you on the ick feeling. It just won't LEAVE. But my parents finally did so at least I can go back to drinking coke and eating chips because that makes me feel better, LOL.
