September TTC Boy Chit Chat and Such Thread

[TTC5]

Hi!Thanks for all the congrats!!!
Looks like no spotting today so that's good! I really hope it's not coming back. Post another pic on the bfp place todays test is darker yeyyy!

I don't know anything about this mattress cover and halo sacks ...all this good? How does it works?

YAYY!!

[My Fabulous Children]

Thanks!!

Did you sway for your son?

Yes I did, and very hard. Its posted here.

[My Fabulous Children]

AWWWWW I would love to have the same happen!!

I hope so, so are you trying in Dec?

[My Fabulous Children]

ttc5- I just got bored with the gelatin, I was sick of the cost and having to make it just everything really. We were going to take a break for a while so I decided to quit it and then at the last minute we attempted and here we are :)
ITA with iluv, I was eating 1+ avacados a day. Lunch was typically a chicken breast and half an avocado. And oh yeah scarf those omelets!

iluv- its both bil's actually, the one no money got sad and the jerky one, well he was a jerk. Problem is he and everyone but us thinks he's funny, "oh he's just teasing". Um no he's an ass.
Yeah, we don't care what they want name wise, dd2 has my mil's middle name and dd3 has dh's deceased sisters middle name (by their request). DH is a jr and we are definitely not going for a 3rd but my fil thinks the boys must be all his family. And let me tell you they are a legacy worth letting die lol
We've come to expect it. My neighbor cried and hugged me, my mil said oh good. I don't really care as long as long as we get love and support from somewhere. Honestly I'd rather get it from those we see every day then those we try to avoid kwim ?
As for Princessap, she's been having a real hard time with the fact she's not getting pregnant. After m/c her son in Oct she just wants/needs it so much. We m/c at a few days apart at almost the same gestation so we've become loss buddies and have been emailing for months now. I'm going to rat her out though, she finally got her bfp Monday, I told her she should check in but she's so scared.

MFC- I'm all about the fish oil for ewcm, of everything I tried it created buckets for me :)
I've been loving shopping for an actual blue baby, it's so much for fun then hopeful outfits :)
FX for a bfp before your edd, it's a rough day to hit if you're not pregnant.

Gizmo-Thanks! fx for your attempt, hope you're feeling better soon :)

I'm so happy to hear that Princessap finally got her bfp , What a wonderful news! CONGRATS to her.

How much fish oil did you take? I'm taking 1000mg daily.

Thanks a lot Jen and Thanks for the update about Princessap. Enjoy your pregnancy ..Have fun buying BLUE hun. I still love shopping for blue. Its a dream come true :happy:

[LolaInLove]

Hey everyone,

Took me a while to read through also! I've been so busy at work....we have opening night on Friday for our first production....and I'm just kinda depressed anyway.

3P1B, love the name change, love the weiner shots, love it love it love it! xxoo

Begonia, I hope you are doing well with the news, and I am so happy your baby girl is healthy! Congrats! I will tell you, I would give anything for a healthy baby girl. All will be right with the world.....on Father/Son Camping weekend, go get a big ass pink tent and have a Father/Daughter weekend somewhere amazing. There is nothing a boy can do that a girl can't, and I bet all of us have a daughter that qualifies as the tomboy in the family. I do like your strategy of easing him into it and thinking of a girl name, etc. HUGS, you are a lucky girl, B!

Princess, CONGRATS to you! Don't be nervous, nothing to worry about yet, but I know how you feel. Many positive sticky thoughts and prayers coming your way!

And FLAVA, CONGRATS to you also! So many bfps here now! Maybe you had a little spotting from implantation....I had some on 12-13dpo with the first pregnancy. Hope all is well.

Gotta catch up later, must run.....xxoo everyone!

[My Fabulous Children]

OMG!!! CONGRATS FLAVA! Wow ..I am SUPER happy for you dear ..I really hope you get your boy this time!

[TTC5]

I hope so, so are you trying in Dec?

Yep!! =D

[TTC5]

Yes I did, and very hard. Its posted here.

Will look for it, thankyou!

[My Fabulous Children]

Fab- I really hope you get a bfp this time !!!

congarts to princessap !!! Hope she come back and post.

Jen- I don't see how is that pic is a nub shot? Can you explain?

Thanks xxx

[My Fabulous Children]

FX for you MFC; I think it will be easier for sure if you get pregnant. One of my BFF's IRL was due the week after me (with her 3rd too) and she lost it :( I am SO hoping she gets pg quickly and that you (and ALL our girls!) do as well.

Thank you xoxo ..

[My Fabulous Children]

Thanks begonia! OMG no more blue diet huh?? That is good because after like 5dpo I had chocolate craving...it was weird because I don't really eat chocolate at all .(exp. the dark for the diet) so I had to go buy puding and yesterday a tiramisu lol.

Funny I thought I don't really have any symptoms!

YAY Flava no more diet :D

[My Fabulous Children]

Begonia - I will be finding out as soon as I can, lol. I have no patience. I found out at 14 weeks with my last one. Only 9 weeks to go! :p

I can't wait ...Congrats again Foxy!! Did you sway this time?

[My Fabulous Children]

I went to the bathroom and have some spotting:sad: I just posted my bfp and now...should have waited I guess.
Im going to lay down , not sure what is going on. So very sad :sad::tissue:

So sorry, how's everything today? I hope you're feeling better and the spotting has stopped.

[My Fabulous Children]

B-have us tell you :rofl: you are the queen of hair splitting, I love it! Oh and I'm with ya, kids have different rules lol

ttc5- do a Jen lol

Flava- lay and relax, I'm sure everything is fine :)

Got NBP to change my name!

Cute name! :cool:

[My Fabulous Children]

So seeing as Jen ratted me out! I just thought I would pop on and say hi.
I got my BFP last week and am soooo nervous. i am taking progesterone and doing feequent betas to make sure all is okay.
I am not really concerned with gender just want a healthy baby.
Sorry Icannot catch up with everyone.
B-cannot wait to hear news today!

will try to pop by more often.

So glad to hear from you hun, hope everything continues to go well with your pregnancy. Congrats.

[My Fabulous Children]

I am back on supps and diet etc and we TTC December!! =D

Good luck.

[My Fabulous Children]

Girl #3 for me!

DH is going to be bummed; I'm glad for him we are waiting because at delivery he wont care. But poor guy has referred to the baby as our boy name a couple of times so I know he was really hoping.

I'm ok, not shocked, and glad to know because finding another girl name will take me some time.

Congrats on your little girl xx I'll massage you.

[Flava]

WP- thanks! no spotting now!

[Flava]

Lola and Fab- thanks so much! I really hope you guys come now with that bfp and we can hang out together on due date buddies!
No more spotting for now! I think it was from the inpl? hope so...

[Hobbermittens]

Flava, don't leave and go to the other thread! I want you to hang out here with me!!

[begonia]

Thanks for all the support ladies. I really am good; I would not have done anything differently so it kind of is what it is, KWIM? I don't know that we for sure would have had a 3rd had we had BG already, I probably would have still wanted one more but DH maybe not ... I think the big hope for him was for a boy this time around, but I'm still happy to have her ... whoever she turns out to be :) And I know he will be too. I said it on another thread but one of my best friends lost her 4th child, a 4 year old boy, earlier this year, and I'll be darned if I'm going to spend any more time grieving a son I never even had. At this point in my life I have the perspective to know how very blessed I am.

And as for DH, I figure he's a pretty lucky man to have 4 women who will think the world of him :)

Really, the thing that bugs me most is like I said, all the comments about what a surprise ... another girl ... blah blah blah. My best friends will be amazing but there are so many people who don't mean to be insensitive, but the comments will sting nonetheless, and I know there are lots of you who know exactly what I mean. That's what I am not looking forward to. But I'll deal with it.

Good luck to everyone else! I hope there are lots of blue announcements and bfps soon! I probably will move more to posting to the pg threads (and the TTC girl threads ... I clearly have lots of pink dust, LOL) since I don't think I have as much to offer on the sway advice these days :wink: But I'll definitely pop in to check on my peeps! :kiss:

[My Fabulous Children]

Lola and Fab- thanks so much! I really hope you guys come now with that bfp and we can hang out together on due date buddies!
No more spotting for now! I think it was from the inpl? hope so...

Thanks Flava, It's good news that the spotting has stopped, I think it was just implantation spotting nothing else.

I Love your ticker! I would REALLY love to have summer baby :happy:

[My Fabulous Children]

Beautiful attitudes and Your husband, girls are lucky to have you :awe: PLEASE stay here don't leave. I really think you had a great sway, but God had other plans. :HH:

[My Fabulous Children]

FLava, Did you use EWs? If yes how did you use?

[skrimpy]

Congrats on your BFP princess!

[begonia]

Beautiful attitudes and Your husband, girls are lucky to have you :awe: PLEASE stay here don't leave. I really think you had a great sway, but God had other plans. :HH:

Thank you MFC! I won't LEAVE ... I'm like, totally stuck here, especially since all of you are the only ones who know my secret :)

I posted this on the pg thread too, but am going to share it here since a big reason I'm glad I found out is so I can make sure DH's expectations are good:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok ... round 1 of lowering DH's expectations complete, LOL! And as you'll see he really was already pretty low... in a good way given what I know now. He's still at work (going to have to pay for 3 colleges plus weddings, now :rofl:) so we were just talking on the phone.
Me: "Ok so I had a dream last night that we had a girl. And she was born, and we had no name. At all. We called her Three."

Him: "I've been telling you for 4 months now it's going to be a girl; we don't make boys. So yes, we should probably pick a name."

Me: "I know. I just kept thinking, since I've had 2 boy dreams (that is true by the way) that we could maybe bypass it this time. But it definitely could be another girl and I guess I need to get ready for that."

Him: "It is what it is, and whoever it is God chose for us, and it's going to be amazing to have it in our arms next year. But you can't rely on Him to pick a name so yeah, you better start thinking about it. And seriously, just go buy something pink and expensive, you know you want to!"

He really is the best. It's a shame he won't have a son but I couldn't ask for a better man to raise my daughters. And yes, I am crying :tissue:

[TTC5]

What a beautiful man!!!! He sounds alot like my DH!!

My girls ADORE their Daddy so so much! And they do boy things too, they are right into footy and they even do martial arts every week =D

[TTC5]

Thanks Flava, It's good news that the spotting has stopped, I think it was just implantation spotting nothing else.

I Love your ticker! I would REALLY love to have summer baby :happy:

Yep I think it is IB too :)

[TTC5]

WP- thanks! no spotting now!

Horray!!!!! I love your ticker too ;) When is your EDD?

[TTC5]

Good luck.

Thankyou! I'm so excited =D

[begonia]

ITA with the IB thing, Flava. I'm sure you'll be checking like crazy so KUP, but I bet the bean is getting all cozy in there :) Don't you worry about those fat pants either ... remember what Jen said, LOL, that she didn't get fat for no reason! FX you have your son in there!

Thanks 5, I think he's a catch! And DD1 is taking karate now too! DD2 so far will sit in his lap and watch sports with him so long as he shares his popcorn :) I do agree with what Lola said about girls, the great thing is they can do just about anything!

[TTC5]

That they can! And as for the weddings, I told my girls to marry a rich man LOL kidding :P

[begonia]

5 my pics aren't really interesting, I didn't want any gender shots, and she just kept MOVING so much! I'm kind of glad though because if they were really cute I'd have a hard time not showing them off, and since I technically never had the u/s I had today, I need to keep them hidden :)

My next scan is 10/24 so hopefully I'll get a sweet one then!

[begonia]

That they can! And as for the weddings, I told my girls to marry a rich man LOL kidding :P

LOL! I paid for our wedding! We'll only pay for theirs if it doesn't cramp our retirement, KWIM? If we have the funds absolutely, why not! Same goes for college. But really, the only thing my dad ever did for me was pay for my college and it was a great gift to start my professional life with no student loans. So IF we can we do plan to do that for them, but again, not at the expense of our own retirement. As any financial planner will tell you there are loans available for college, but not for retirement!

[TTC5]

I paid for everything myself, college, car, wedding the lot!

thx for sharing that waslike listening to a cute radio commercial...for....name picking i guess..
love it!

[Hobbermittens]

Begonia, your DH sounds so awesome!! I bet he is going to be thrilled with another pink bundle! SO, get cracking on finding that name!

HOLY CRAP, B! I almost went into labor I was laughing so hard. You are awesome and I can't belive you totally made that up. We just called her "3" is genius. You must just be a riot to be around. I see where you #2 gets it from, it's all you baby! DH rocks too!

[Foxy]

Begonia - Congratulations on a sweet baby girl! I have 4 girls myself and I love it! I did the secret scan thing too with #4 and never told DH. Just told him that I felt it was another girl.

[princessap]

So I am 5 weeks today and woke up with light pink spotting on wiping. There was none in my underwear and it hasnt been everytime i wipe.
I dont know if implantation bleeding can happen at 5 weeks but I think i am too late for that.
Am so scared right now.

Again I am sorry, princess....just try to rest, you never know as it could be normal and no big deal. I am sorry though, I know it is tough. Been there. Big big hugs.....:pray:

[LolaInLove]

MFC, when are you testing? Do you feel like the Clomid worked??? I am excited for you!

WP, we did get the SA results in the mail. His morphology was only 18% also, which I've read is not that bad in reality, although the standard "normal" results are 30% and up.

Flava, glad your spotting stopped!

Begonia, that is such a sweet story....you have a fantastic attitude about it all, and she is going to be an amazing kid! Your DH is a champ, too. You just need to come up with a comeback for the comments....that's what made me feel better when I got them for that brief time in April (the "hoping for a boy?" crap). And by the way, I am so not a mean person, but when people say idiotic stuff to me, I feel much better when I come back with a good line to subtlely put them in their place. When I was pg with DD2, I got a couple of comments and was so annoyed that I said something to the tune of, "Yea, I know, it is such a drag to be having another healthy, beautiful girl. I should just sell her on the black market and hey....maybe I can trade her for a boy?" People would be so shocked, it was lovely. I love me some shock value.

B, I understand about your not wanting to post here anymore, because I don't feel like much use either. Hell, I can't even get pregnant and probably never will, and I definitely cannot sway anymore. It's kinda pointless. I am about to start reading on the girl threads and see how they lost so much weight so fast. I am just sick to death of having gained 35lbs for absolutely nothing. But, I will stick around, I want to see how everyone turns out. I feel like a drag, though.

[Flava]

Hi girls

fab-I did use some ew like 2ml in a syringe. I had ewcm but used a little anyway lol

ttc5- I really have no clue when is my EDD because all my cycles was different since I used FF this year! So I put in that it was 26 days long and it give me June 4. I don't really care DD4 was almost 2 weeks late anyway LOL

And thank for the comments about my ticker I think it's cute too hehe:p

begonia- your HD is nice! I would love to see some pics anyway!
And I really hope I did not get fat for nothing because I did last time! Not liek it's for nothing because I have a baby and DD4 is the only one with blue eyes and she look like me BUT to get a girl I could just stay size 1 and have a fun night that's it!

[Flava]

So I am 5 weeks today and woke up with light pink spotting on wiping. There was none in my underwear and it hasnt been everytime i wipe.
I dont know if implantation bleeding can happen at 5 weeks but I think i am too late for that.
Am so scared right now.

I had spotting to and it's so scary! Hope it's nothing really just try to rest it was very little so that's good.

[Flava]

Lola- don't go anywhere! i like your posts and really you can be pregnant too!
I don't know what to do either I guess I hang out here...posted in the sept. chit chat but no one talked to me and there is no due in June place.

[LolaInLove]

Aw, thanks. I just feel like I belong more on some infertility website where there are women who are going through what I am, but I will stick around. I really don't think I am going to ever get pregnant, to be honest, but thanks for your optimism. I am gearing myself up for that, which is why I'm more interested in losing this f'ing weight and moving on with life now.

Why don't you make a new June group?

[princessap]

Well just got confirmation that I am having miscarriage #3.

I cannot keep doing this so we are done our family. As
sad as it makes me I cannot keep going on like this.

I wish you all the best.
Thanks for the support through all this.
You gals are great!

OH NO, this makes me so sad. I am so so sorry, Princess. I totally understand how you feel. Maybe you guys can do what we are which is NTNP, and just see what happens over time? We are giving up in our minds, but not going to quit dtd around O time, know what I mean? But maybe it is easier for us to just give up totally, that way you can move on with life and not think about it anymore. I am just so sorry, I am sending you lots of virtual hugs. xxxxxoooooo

Princess, that is sad news. :( I'm so sorry. We are all here to support you.:hug2:

[ELP]

so sorry Princess:(

[nuthinbutpink]

I'm so sorry, Princess.

[Foxy]

Princess, I'm so sorry for your loss. :(

[DebH]

I'm sorry for your loss princess. :sad:

[Hobbermittens]

OW! That BSF burns! Was I supposed to dip my finger in water and then BS, and then stick it in my vajayjay? Because I did, and maybe it was too much BS? It hurts!!!

[Hobbermittens]

But, I will stick around, I want to see how everyone turns out. I feel like a drag, though.

Please stay! You are NOT a drag! We love you!

[DebH]

I'm guessing maybe too much or you touched your cervix with it. Try and not touch your cervix. It never hurt when I did it. Good luck!

[Hobbermittens]

BUT to get a girl I could just stay size 1 and have a fun night that's it!
You are a size ONE? Jeez, Flava, you are so lucky! I was a size 10 before this diet, and now I think 12 is getting a little small....

[DebH]

Moms with many girls (3+)... do you do hand me downs all the way down the line or do you have to get new clothes at some point? Any advice on brands or strategies for making clothing last for 3? I have a lot of stuff I am pulling out for DD2 that isn't going to make it past her. I'd like to start getting nicer stuff for DD1 that will actually last. Even some Gap and some Hanna stuff is wearing out before its time.

[Hobbermittens]

I'm guessing maybe too much or you touched your cervix with it. Try and not touch your cervix. It never hurt when I did it. Good luck!

I know I didn't touch my cervix, because I was really careful about that. But I probably just used too much. :( I will do less next time. Did you get your finger wet before you put the BS on it?

[Flava]

lola- I think only like 3 ppl due in June so that's why there is no group.

princessap- Im so sorry!:sad::bighug: But I hope you don't give up .

[princessap]

OH NO, this makes me so sad. I am so so sorry, Princess. I totally understand how you feel. Maybe you guys can do what we are which is NTNP, and just see what happens over time? We are giving up in our minds, but not going to quit dtd around O time, know what I mean? But maybe it is easier for us to just give up totally, that way you can move on with life and not think about it anymore. I am just so sorry, I am sending you lots of virtual hugs. xxxxxoooooo

thanks lola. I feel like someone has ripped my heart out. i dont understand why this keeps happening. We had all the genetic testing done and it is all normal. I was on progesterone this time too. I am just sooo sad and frusturated. My dH wants to stop trying unless we can get some answers. It hurts him too much to watch me be devastated again.

I always wanted four kids and now that wont happen. Three probably wont happen. It sucks and hurts so much.

So now I sit and wait for AF to come and remind me of another loss.

[princessap]

lola- I think only like 3 ppl due in June so that's why there is no group.

princessap- Im so sorry!:sad::bighug: But I hope you don't give up .

Thanks. But i think we are done unless we get some answers. my heart is broken and i am trying so hard not to cry in front of my girls.

[Flava]

You are a size ONE? Jeez, Flava, you are so lucky! I was a size 10 before this diet, and now I think 12 is getting a little small....

Nope not anymore!:hair: that's why I said I hope I did not get fat for nothing like Jen said! Normally Im size 1 but I put on over 20 lbs and Im fat all over and yesterday I had to buy new jeans size 8!!!!!!!!!!!!! so hate it!
I know girls a lot bigger then me and they look a lot better because I have fat rolls on me and they don't.
I got fat for #4 too and she is a girl...so for sure I will be sad about all this fat if this is a girl too .
Im reading right now how to loose weight or at least don't put on any in pregnancy.
Looks like it's should be easy and safe just have to eat a lot more healthy food . I really just hope not to put on or just a little. So I will try.

[Flava]

I know I didn't touch my cervix, because I was really careful about that. But I probably just used too much. :( I will do less next time. Did you get your finger wet before you put the BS on it?

It never hurts me so I dont know...and yes I use water.

[Flava]

Thanks. But i think we are done unless we get some answers. my heart is broken and i am trying so hard not to cry in front of my girls.

Ohh I know it hurts so much I also lost 7 ! We don't know why all happened ...but was thinking I not gonna let this win for sure and the thing about loss we can just have a perfect pregnancy next time.
But for sure it is very sad! Hope you guys feel better soon!

[zanacal]

Oh, Thank you so much for that! I don't know anyone that has used the Snuza. What hammock did you use? I also plan on using the Miyo (Moffi) hammock and I did kinda figure they were sort of useless after they roll over but s/b great in the beginning when I'll be the biggest stress case.

I have an Amby. I used it for all 3 boys and absolutely loved it, they all slept great as newborns too. I'm in two minds about whether to use it again - but actually I'd forgotten about the Snuza so that might help me make my mind up! It's definitely a great reassurance. It's quite funny when you forget to take it off though (I also found it reassuring to have on when carrying DS3 in a sling!) and you start wondering what the ticking noise is then realise it's your baby!! Confused a few grandparents and aunties too!

[princessap]

Wow you are a stronger woman than me. Did u get any answers for any of your losses? what are they doing differently now with this pregnancy? I hope in time i can be strong enough to try again but it just hurts so much to have two healthy pregnancies and then have 3 miscarriages in a
row!

[zanacal]

I'm so sorry for your loss Princess x

[LolaInLove]

thanks lola. I feel like someone has ripped my heart out. i dont understand why this keeps happening. We had all the genetic testing done and it is all normal. I was on progesterone this time too.

Oh, honey, believe me, I know exactly how you feel. I have been grappling with the same thoughts of never having another child. I always wanted three, and now I just have the two girls with my ex-husband and none with my new one who is the love of my life. And those m/c are so heartbreaking, because just when you think your dream is coming true, it's gone. I am so sorry, and if you need to chat, let's PM some more. Try to pamper yourself if you can, rest, eat ice cream and watch movies in bed, whatever you can do to get through it.

[Flava]

Im not so strong at all...I got angry I guess . Had no answers because they wanted to do test if i would lost teh next one too and it was DD4. ( I didn't have all 7 in a row)
This time I plan to go back to the birth center not to the doc. I switched there with DD4 when I was 35 weeks and got a home birth because they wanted a c/s for me. And I said no.

[Tink18]

I am so sorry for you loss, Princess.


WP- I finally ovualted, I am currently 4DPO. I did the BSF all 3 times, my ph was a 8.5 and Dh was a 9 without doing anything. He rocks hard. We did it DS all 3 times as well. SO I have my FX big time!!

Begoina, I wouldn't worry about what anyone thinks about you having a 3rd girl. I am convinced I will have all girls. And so be it. Babies are such a blessing. There is so much pressure from DH's side of the family to have a boy since DH is the only one that can carry on the last name. We told DH's parents that we were done and they got so upset. Funny thing is my SIL just had her 3rd boy last week and they are upset with her for getting pregnant again.. No matter what gender of a baby i get I will be thrilled. People don't seem to get this. Because we have a little girl, they assume I will be devistated if I have another girl. I wont, also why we haven't told anyone about the Gender swaying. I think you are doing what you need to do and Fuck what anyone else says...Excuse my french. XOXO

How is everyone else. I need to keep my mind off what DPO I am or I will go nucking futs.

do u mind me asking how far along u were with your losses? Mine have all been 3 in a row since my daughters. I didnt sway only did timing to get pregnant. I can see myself getting angry and trying again but right now I am so sad.

[Flava]

I think the earliest was 5-6 weeks and I had on at 15 weeks late.

[3Pink1Blue]

B- love your attitude but don't you dare leave! Love dh's attitude too! Mine loves his girls to bits too, he had no interet in trying again that was all by my begging. Boo for no pics, mine was wildly uncooperative at my 16wk u/s and sadly wasn't much better at 20 lol

Lola- I love that answer lol I used to ask them back "why on earth would I want a boy?" this was extra fun when they had a heard of boys with them. Sometimes being shitty is the only way. You are never a drag darlin' and get the hopeless feeling but am confident you'll get your stcky bfp! Join another site but keep us I'm the loop :)

Prinncess my love, big big hug. Don't give up hun, I have enough faith for both of us.

Hobber- I did get my finger wet but yes too much will hurt. It'll also dry out the outside something awful and leave crusty white stains in the panties. Fun stuff lol

Deb- I try to have things trickle down but with kids growing differently and different seasons there's always some holes to fill. I'm a big fan of Target, things hold up well and aren't pricey. I've had pants that lasted through 4 winters on two kids before knees popped through. I've got tall lean kids and their clothes tend to cater to that.

Tink- I was positive I'd have another girl, always hoped but never actually thought I'd hear boy.

[begonia]

Hey girls! Re: the comments, I guess the fact is I will probably just say "I love my girls" and leave it at that. After all, no one will be wrong when they say "Wouldn't you have loved a son?" So I'll probably just say "I love my girls. If I had a son I would have loved him too." And leave it at that. Because it's the truth right? I did TRY to have a son. I wanted a son. Heck, in my dream world, I would have had 3 sons. But I have GOT to leave that want behind now because I don't want a 4th child, and I don't want to spend the rest of my life (or really, more of my time, at all) wanting something I'm not going to have, and God forbid, leaving my girls EVER feeling that they are less than perfect to me. I'm glad I found this board and glad I swayed, if I had girl #3 w/o swaying I always would have wondered IF I had swayed ... would I have had him. But now I know. For reasons I don't know, DH and I weren't meant to have a son.

I posted this on the pg thread and am just going to copy it here ...
I'm torn as to whether it is good for me personally to be here anymore. I feel so tied to so many of you that I want to know what happens, I want you all to get your DG, but for me right now this feels like a place where I came when I had hope, and not to be all Debbie Downer but I don't have that hope anymore. I have my reality, and my reality is I'm never going to have the son I wanted for all of my life, my DH is never going to have a boy to raise. And that's hard, and while this is a place where I get support on those feelings, I also feel like it might be healthier for me to get on with my life offline and move forward. I never ever saw myself with 3 daughters. Even though I knew for sure it was a possibility and a strong one that our third would also be a girl, I just had that hope. I'm still really glad that I found out because not knowing was worse for sure. But now that my hope is gone, and I'm not having any more kids, I think I need to move on for my own mental health. I'll no doubt lurk here and there to check on everyone and maybe one day (especially once she's here) I'll be able to come back fully to catch up, but right now, I need to focus on what I have, 3 healthy girls, and coming here reminds me of what I don't, and that's not healthy for me. Like I said, I'm sure I'll pop on, but it's not going to be daily or anywhere close to it. All that to say, I'm out for awhile. I love this place, and love y'all, and wish everyone the best! :kiss:

[skrimpy]

We love our Amby too!

[cemas]

Dear B,

i am happy and sad for you. happy for ur healthy girl! and sad to see u sad:(
I totally understand ur not wanting to be regular here.....i went thru the same.....just ttc though....i see new people come and go and makes me sad. But there are so many friends here that it makes me happy to come once in a while and get an update on people.

Will miss u B

[begonia]

OH Princess, my heart aches for you so much. I am so profoundly sorry for your loss. I hope your doctors can give you some answers.

And thank you guys for understanding where I'm coming from. Truly the blessing is in having the baby, and I know that ... but coming here right now I do lose some of that perspective. I know I'll pop in here and there. Tink, as ever, you have a way with words that I love :) FX for you!

[Foxy]

Begonia - I think everyone understands your need for a break. I did the same with DD#4. I wish life didn't have to be like this :( I know you will love your sweet baby girl once she arrives though. Take care hun and I hope you will give us updates on how you and your little one is doing! :)

[TTC5]

So I am 5 weeks today and woke up with light pink spotting on wiping. There was none in my underwear and it hasnt been everytime i wipe.
I dont know if implantation bleeding can happen at 5 weeks but I think i am too late for that.
Am so scared right now.

I hope all is ok xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[TTC5]

MFC, when are you testing? Do you feel like the Clomid worked??? I am excited for you!

WP, we did get the SA results in the mail. His morphology was only 18% also, which I've read is not that bad in reality, although the standard "normal" results are 30% and up.

Flava, glad your spotting stopped!

Begonia, that is such a sweet story....you have a fantastic attitude about it all, and she is going to be an amazing kid! Your DH is a champ, too. You just need to come up with a comeback for the comments....that's what made me feel better when I got them for that brief time in April (the "hoping for a boy?" crap). And by the way, I am so not a mean person, but when people say idiotic stuff to me, I feel much better when I come back with a good line to subtlely put them in their place. When I was pg with DD2, I got a couple of comments and was so annoyed that I said something to the tune of, "Yea, I know, it is such a drag to be having another healthy, beautiful girl. I should just sell her on the black market and hey....maybe I can trade her for a boy?" People would be so shocked, it was lovely. I love me some shock value.

B, I understand about your not wanting to post here anymore, because I don't feel like much use either. Hell, I can't even get pregnant and probably never will, and I definitely cannot sway anymore. It's kinda pointless. I am about to start reading on the girl threads and see how they lost so much weight so fast. I am just sick to death of having gained 35lbs for absolutely nothing. But, I will stick around, I want to see how everyone turns out. I feel like a drag, though.

You know, I feel like I have grown so close to you ladies that I would be so sad to see anyone leave esp. you and Begonia :'(

[TTC5]

Well just got confirmation that I am having miscarriage #3.

I cannot keep doing this so we are done our family. As
sad as it makes me I cannot keep going on like this.

I wish you all the best.
Thanks for the support through all this.
You gals are great!

I am sooo sorry :(

[TTC5]

OW! That BSF burns! Was I supposed to dip my finger in water and then BS, and then stick it in my vajayjay? Because I did, and maybe it was too much BS? It hurts!!!

Ouchie! You may have got to close to your cervix or used too much!!

[TTC5]

Moms with many girls (3+)... do you do hand me downs all the way down the line or do you have to get new clothes at some point. Any advice on brands or strategies for making clothing last for 3? I have a lot of stuff I am pulling out for DD2 that isn't going to make it past her. I'd like to start getting nicer stuff for DD1 that will actually last. Even some Gap and some Hanna stuff is wearing out before it's time.

I buy new clothes at xmas and birthdays and also school uniform :)

[TTC5]

I know I didn't touch my cervix, because I was really careful about that. But I probably just used too much. :( I will do less next time. Did you get your finger wet before you put the BS on it?

I dipped mine in pre seed made it go in easier I found it crumbled or clumped up with water.

[TTC5]

I am so sorry for you loss, Princess.

When will you test?! Can't wait! FX you are next in line hehe! Seems to be something in the forums water ;)

[TTC5]

do u mind me asking how far along u were with your losses? Mine have all been 3 in a row since my daughters. I didnt sway only did timing to get pregnant. I can see myself getting angry and trying again but right now I am so sad.

I know the pain you are going through aswell. We have had several miscarriages now, one in 2002, 2003, 2006 and we are 110% sure we conceived this year too and ended in a loss.

[Tink18]

tt5 i am not sure when i will test. i have the worst headache right now. with dd i didnt get a bfp until i was 20 late....i think im in for it.being in the same boat if af is late.

[WashingtonPromise]

Oh, Begonia....I think your right and completely understand. Please drop by and give us an update on you when you can....lots of hugs xxxx

[WashingtonPromise]

Moms with many girls (3+)... do you do hand me downs all the way down the line or do you have to get new clothes at some point. Any advice on brands or strategies for making clothing last for 3?

Even some Gap and some Hanna stuff is wearing out before it's time.



I like to buy as much Gymboree brand as I can. I notice a huge difference in how long it wears. Most of the clothes have went threw all the girls (some is still too big for the youngest). I also don't dry their clothes (or my good clothes) all the way....just long enough to steam out the wrinkles and then line dry.

[WashingtonPromise]

Princess: I am sooooo sorry for your loss. Like most of the women on here I have had 4 miscarriages, from 9-14 wks. My Ob said most of the time they just are not viable and would not make it in the outside world anyway. Losses are like lossing a piece of your heart every time, but try not to give up hope.

[WashingtonPromise]

Lola: I have a cousin that got preg when her husband sperm mobility was 2%, they even had a IVF sceduled fir the next month. I do understand why you guys are guarding your hearts.

[WashingtonPromise]

Wow, this thread really took a turn over the past couple weeks. I hope all the losses end well for all.

I know someone ask about the BSF....it burned bad for me too!!!! I never did it again.

[DebH]

Did you get your finger wet before you put the BS on it?

I did, but I think it was just the tip that I dipped in the BS. I used just enough that it made a difference in my ph.

[TTC5]

Ok so I am coming up to my first ovulation since coming off the pill and noticed I have gone from dry to a little wetish in just a few hours.. checked my pH and it was a 7!!!! I can not believe that, I have not done any bsf's nor did I have a bsb today either. I am STOKED! Have only been back on supps for around 3 weeks now but must be doing something right compared to earlier this year when I was struggling to stay in the 6's...

[Kris217]

Thanks for all the support ladies. I really am good; I would not have done anything differently so it kind of is what it is, KWIM? I don't know that we for sure would have had a 3rd had we had BG already, I probably would have still wanted one more but DH maybe not ... I think the big hope for him was for a boy this time around, but I'm still happy to have her ... whoever she turns out to be :) And I know he will be too. I said it on another thread but one of my best friends lost her 4th child, a 4 year old boy, earlier this year, and I'll be darned if I'm going to spend any more time grieving a son I never even had. At this point in my life I have the perspective to know how very blessed I am.

And as for DH, I figure he's a pretty lucky man to have 4 women who will think the world of him :)

Really, the thing that bugs me most is like I said, all the comments about what a surprise ... another girl ... blah blah blah. My best friends will be amazing but there are so many people who don't mean to be insensitive, but the comments will sting nonetheless, and I know there are lots of you who know exactly what I mean. That's what I am not looking forward to. But I'll deal with it.

Good luck to everyone else! I hope there are lots of blue announcements and bfps soon! I probably will move more to posting to the pg threads (and the TTC girl threads ... I clearly have lots of pink dust, LOL) since I don't think I have as much to offer on the sway advice these days :wink: But I'll definitely pop in to check on my peeps! :kiss:

You have a great attitude about it! Another girl is a blessing and as you said before 3 sisters is awesome! Girls tend to be more family orientated, they keep ties with the family even after they're married. I have 4 sisters and 4 brothers.....I don't see any of my brothers. Glad your bub is doing well too!!

[Kris217]

[Kris217]

OW! That BSF burns! Was I supposed to dip my finger in water and then BS, and then stick it in my vajayjay? Because I did, and maybe it was too much BS? It hurts!!!

I did that too, then tried a little with some preseed and it was all good.

[Hobbermittens]

[Hobbermittens]

Begonia, I really enjoy having you around, but I understand why you would want to take a break from this place... but I hope you pop in now and again to keep us updated! Especially when that baby is born. :) We will miss you!

[iluvmyman]

You gals are great!

I don't know what to say but crying and hurting for you. I'm so sorry!! :hugs:

[iluvmyman]

Thanks. But i think we are done unless we get some answers. my heart is broken and i am trying so hard not to cry in front of my girls.

This may be a weird suggestion but have you considered a hollistic practioner or naturopath. they look at things so differently than the medical community and might give you a different perspective. I totally think it's worth looking into, Princess.

[iluvmyman]

I have an Amby. I used it for all 3 boys and absolutely loved it, they all slept great as newborns too. I'm in two minds about whether to use it again - but actually I'd forgotten about the Snuza so that might help me make my mind up! It's definitely a great reassurance. It's quite funny when you forget to take it off though (I also found it reassuring to have on when carrying DS3 in a sling!) and you start wondering what the ticking noise is then realise it's your baby!! Confused a few grandparents and aunties too!

I think I remember that being recalled or a replacement part needed for that 1 when I was researching hammocks but could find them in the states. I had to order mine out of country. Crazy. My sis picked up the Snuza for me today from a couple who had premature twins and they really liked it too. I might never take it off of the baby. :) Funny w/ the grandparents. Who knows what our kids will have for their babies when it's time. :)

[iluvmyman]

I'm just getting so bummed out right now. The 2 people I love the most are talking about leaving. I understand but I don't like it. Will miss you and Lola but I get it. I'm so hurting for so many of my fellow swayers here. We need a new place to hang then! I'm addicted to my online friends and care so much what happens to everyone.

[iluvmyman]

I buy new clothes at xmas and birthdays and also school uniform :)

Gymboree is the best and there clothes are such a great price if you shop right. I get $6 shirts often, I also go to the local resale events and love to garage sale for clothing. I love dressing my kids.

[iluvmyman]

I like to buy as much Gymboree brand as I can. I notice a huge difference in how long it wears. Most of the clothes have went threw all the girls (some is still too big for the youngest). I also don't dry their clothes (or my good clothes) all the way....just long enough to steam out the wrinkles and then line dry.

I also buy and love gymobree especially for my son. I also don't dry my clothes I bought new and hand dry. My dad has great fruit trees that serve as wonderful clothes lines. :)

[My Fabulous Children]

Thank you MFC! I won't LEAVE ... I'm like, totally stuck here, especially since all of you are the only ones who know my secret :)

I posted this on the pg thread too, but am going to share it here since a big reason I'm glad I found out is so I can make sure DH's expectations are good:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok ... round 1 of lowering DH's expectations complete, LOL! And as you'll see he really was already pretty low... in a good way given what I know now. He's still at work (going to have to pay for 3 colleges plus weddings, now :rofl:) so we were just talking on the phone.
Me: "Ok so I had a dream last night that we had a girl. And she was born, and we had no name. At all. We called her Three."

Him: "I've been telling you for 4 months now it's going to be a girl; we don't make boys. So yes, we should probably pick a name."

Me: "I know. I just kept thinking, since I've had 2 boy dreams (that is true by the way) that we could maybe bypass it this time. But it definitely could be another girl and I guess I need to get ready for that."

Him: "It is what it is, and whoever it is God chose for us, and it's going to be amazing to have it in our arms next year. But you can't rely on Him to pick a name so yeah, you better start thinking about it. And seriously, just go buy something pink and expensive, you know you want to!"

He really is the best. It's a shame he won't have a son but I couldn't ask for a better man to raise my daughters. And yes, I am crying :tissue:

Hey B, Your hubby sounds like an amazing man :)

[My Fabulous Children]

MFC, when are you testing? Do you feel like the Clomid worked??? I am excited for you!

WP, we did get the SA results in the mail. His morphology was only 18% also, which I've read is not that bad in reality, although the standard "normal" results are 30% and up.

Flava, glad your spotting stopped!

Begonia, that is such a sweet story....you have a fantastic attitude about it all, and she is going to be an amazing kid! Your DH is a champ, too. You just need to come up with a comeback for the comments....that's what made me feel better when I got them for that brief time in April (the "hoping for a boy?" crap). And by the way, I am so not a mean person, but when people say idiotic stuff to me, I feel much better when I come back with a good line to subtlely put them in their place. When I was pg with DD2, I got a couple of comments and was so annoyed that I said something to the tune of, "Yea, I know, it is such a drag to be having another healthy, beautiful girl. I should just sell her on the black market and hey....maybe I can trade her for a boy?" People would be so shocked, it was lovely. I love me some shock value.

B, I understand about your not wanting to post here anymore, because I don't feel like much use either. Hell, I can't even get pregnant and probably never will, and I definitely cannot sway anymore. It's kinda pointless. I am about to start reading on the girl threads and see how they lost so much weight so fast. I am just sick to death of having gained 35lbs for absolutely nothing. But, I will stick around, I want to see how everyone turns out. I feel like a drag, though.

Hey Hun, I'll be testing soon. I'm sitting here just hoping that I get a +OPK soon. How do I know if the Clomid is working :think:? I have some hot flashes and had heahaches.

And please don't go anywhere stay here ..I know how you feel :fami03: I really do. I'll be praying for you. I really hope you get your BFP very soon.

[My Fabulous Children]

Hi girls

fab-I did use some ew like 2ml in a syringe. I had ewcm but used a little anyway lol

ttc5- I really have no clue when is my EDD because all my cycles was different since I used FF this year! So I put in that it was 26 days long and it give me June 4. I don't really care DD4 was almost 2 weeks late anyway LOL

And thank for the comments about my ticker I think it's cute too hehe:p

begonia- your HD is nice! I would love to see some pics anyway!
And I really hope I did not get fat for nothing because I did last time! Not liek it's for nothing because I have a baby and DD4 is the only one with blue eyes and she look like me BUT to get a girl I could just stay size 1 and have a fun night that's it!

What kind of eggs did you use? And what was the pH of the EW?

[My Fabulous Children]

Well just got confirmation that I am having miscarriage #3.

I cannot keep doing this so we are done our family. As
sad as it makes me I cannot keep going on like this.

I wish you all the best.
Thanks for the support through all this.
You gals are great!

I am so very sorry for your loss ((Hugs)) There must be some tests they can do to find out why this keeps happening to you? Talk to your Dr about this. I really hope you get get some answers.

[My Fabulous Children]

I'm guessing maybe too much or you touched your cervix with it. Try and not touch your cervix. It never hurt when I did it. Good luck!

I agree ..Me too.

[My Fabulous Children]

You are a size ONE? Jeez, Flava, you are so lucky! I was a size 10 before this diet, and now I think 12 is getting a little small....

Flava you are a size one?!!! OMG ..I am exactly just like you hobber :(

[My Fabulous Children]

Thanks. But i think we are done unless we get some answers. my heart is broken and i am trying so hard not to cry in front of my girls.

(((HUGS))) I feel so sad for you hun xxxxx I hope you can get some answers soon. I feel your pain and know it's hard but please don't give up.

[My Fabulous Children]

Hey girls! Re: the comments, I guess the fact is I will probably just say "I love my girls" and leave it at that. After all, no one will be wrong when they say "Wouldn't you have loved a son?" So I'll probably just say "I love my girls. If I had a son I would have loved him too." And leave it at that. Because it's the truth right? I did TRY to have a son. I wanted a son. Heck, in my dream world, I would have had 3 sons. But I have GOT to leave that want behind now because I don't want a 4th child, and I don't want to spend the rest of my life (or really, more of my time, at all) wanting something I'm not going to have, and God forbid, leaving my girls EVER feeling that they are less than perfect to me. I'm glad I found this board and glad I swayed, if I had girl #3 w/o swaying I always would have wondered IF I had swayed ... would I have had him. But now I know. For reasons I don't know, DH and I weren't meant to have a son.

I posted this on the pg thread and am just going to copy it here ...
I'm torn as to whether it is good for me personally to be here anymore. I feel so tied to so many of you that I want to know what happens, I want you all to get your DG, but for me right now this feels like a place where I came when I had hope, and not to be all Debbie Downer but I don't have that hope anymore. I have my reality, and my reality is I'm never going to have the son I wanted for all of my life, my DH is never going to have a boy to raise. And that's hard, and while this is a place where I get support on those feelings, I also feel like it might be healthier for me to get on with my life offline and move forward. I never ever saw myself with 3 daughters. Even though I knew for sure it was a possibility and a strong one that our third would also be a girl, I just had that hope. I'm still really glad that I found out because not knowing was worse for sure. But now that my hope is gone, and I'm not having any more kids, I think I need to move on for my own mental health. I'll no doubt lurk here and there to check on everyone and maybe one day (especially once she's here) I'll be able to come back fully to catch up, but right now, I need to focus on what I have, 3 healthy girls, and coming here reminds me of what I don't, and that's not healthy for me. Like I said, I'm sure I'll pop on, but it's not going to be daily or anywhere close to it. All that to say, I'm out for awhile. I love this place, and love y'all, and wish everyone the best! :kiss:

I'm so sad for you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I completely understand. Take care dear, We will miss you much :hugs:

[My Fabulous Children]

Ok so I am coming up to my first ovulation since coming off the pill and noticed I have gone from dry to a little wetish in just a few hours.. checked my pH and it was a 7!!!! I can not believe that, I have not done any bsf's nor did I have a bsb today either. I am STOKED! Have only been back on supps for around 3 weeks now but must be doing something right compared to earlier this year when I was struggling to stay in the 6's...

Great pH!

[My Fabulous Children]

Is anyone taking FUR? If yes which one?

[TTC5]

What is fur??

[LolaInLove]

Begonia, I understand how you feel. I hope you have a happy, healthy, and peaceful rest of your pregnancy and a wonderful birth. Please come back and chat anytime you feel like it. I'll miss ya, been a long time for us, yea? xxoo

[LolaInLove]

What is fur??

False Unicorn Root, right, MFC? I took it one cycle a long time ago and it made me ovulate a week late.

[LolaInLove]

TTC5, so impressed with your ph! Nice job! FX for you this coming month!

[princessap]

Thanks everyone for thinking of me. It is much appreciated as we arent telling anyone what happened. Everyone thinks we are done kids as it is easier that way rather than having everyone asking when we are having another one.

I am so sad and angry that this keeps happening. I am so cautious when I am pregnant and took it easy all last week hoping it would help. no such luck. i see patients all the time who drink and smoke all the way through (I have colleagues who are nurses who do it too), and their babies are fine. It is beyond frusturating. My dh is really angry as well. He hates seeing me like this and told me last night i havent been the same for over a year now. He is so sweet and said he would take all my pain for me if he could. I am just at a loss at what to do now?

[LolaInLove]

Princess, we very much feel the same way about the losses. I also get frustrated when I see much less healthy and caring pregnant mothers have healthy babies. It's just so hard when there are no answers as to why, and nothing you can "fix" for the next try. My DH has said the same to me, that I have been different this past year, and I know I have, life is more sad and fragile to me now (not to mention I've become fat!). You know, for me, the only hope I have is that someday we may have a little miracle baby, and I just have to give it more time. We need to try naturally for another year, and after that, we'll decide to continue on or scrap it. Like I said before, I have met SO many women who had a ton of m/c sprinkled in with healthy babies. There is no reason for it sometimes, it's just the nature of the human body.....sometimes the beans just don't make it. Sometimes they are abnormal, sometimes there is just a tiny glitch that you or no doctor could have ever known about and something goes awry. It happens so frequently, like 1/2 the time, I believe. Anyway, I know you are like me.....I WANT another one. Maybe a break would be good, or maybe just keep going with it? You never know, maybe your next little fertilized bean will make it. That's just how I have to look at it. I hope you are ok, thinking about you.....xxxoooo

[cemas]

False Unicorn Root, right, MFC? I took it one cycle a long time ago and it made me ovulate a week late.

Oh, and i had heard it helps shorten long cycles on IG.

[LolaInLove]

Oh, and i had heard it helps shorten long cycles on IG. Definitely did NOT have that effect for me! And it's expensive.

[Flava]

What kind of eggs did you use? And what was the pH of the EW?

It was EB eggs and ph was 8.8

[Flava]

Flava you are a size one?!!! OMG ..I am exactly just like you hobber :(

was...size 8 now!:worry:

[Flava]

hey girls! Hope everyone is fine! Big hugs!

[LolaInLove]

Um, I was a size 6 before, now a size 12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hobbermittens]

Welcome to the 12's Lola and MFC! Stinks, doesn't it? I would be happy at an 8 if I can ever get there again.

Is anyone giving their DH Ginsing? Is it boy friendly? I have been giving it to DH but I am not sure if I should be...

[skrimpy]

Gymboree is the best and there clothes are such a great price if you shop right. I get $6 shirts often, I also go to the local resale events and love to garage sale for clothing. I love dressing my kids.

I love dressing mine too. My cousin owns a Gymboree Play and Music and gets practically all of her kids' clothes from Gymboree - and we get the hand-me-downs. Most of them look basically brand new!

I also really like sewing dresses for my girls - they look so cute matching :)

[TTC5]

False Unicorn Root, right, MFC? I took it one cycle a long time ago and it made me ovulate a week late.

Oh right, and what is this meant to help with?

I'm not, what does it help with?

[Hobbermittens]

I think male fertility? Not sure, I jus saw it on a thread somewhere and added it, but now I am not sure if I should have. Maybe I will pull it.

[TTC5]

Maybe take a look through the sway section see who else added it too? I think I have seen others add it actually :)

[princessap]

okay ladies i have a question....I had a beta done monday and was 39 and was told i am miscarrying....I had two episodes spotting tuesday on wiping only and have had nothing since! when can i expect af to arrive? I posted on the loss board too but no replies. thanks

[nuthinbutpink]

How far along were you with the 39? That would be a HCG level around 15 days past ovulation or so based on what I know with HT betas. You might need to have it redone so you can either follow it down to zero or see if it goes the other way. Either way, you need to know and you won't get AF until it goes to zero.

[TTC5]

okay ladies i have a question....I had a beta done monday and was 39 and was told i am miscarrying....I had two episodes spotting tuesday on wiping only and have had nothing since! when can i expect af to arrive? I posted on the loss board too but no replies. thanks

How far along should you have been on Monday hun?

[My Fabulous Children]

False Unicorn Root, right, MFC? I took it one cycle a long time ago and it made me ovulate a week late.

Yes It's False Unicorn Root.
FUR helps regulate the cycle/ovulation and is alkalinizing and helps produce EWCM. I think this supplement helped me before.

[My Fabulous Children]

Definitely did NOT have that effect for me! And it's expensive.

Too expensive!!

[My Fabulous Children]

It was EB eggs and ph was 8.8

Thanks Flava. I used them before and I will get the same eggs soon.

[My Fabulous Children]

I think male fertility? Not sure, I jus saw it on a thread somewhere and added it, but now I am not sure if I should have. Maybe I will pull it.

I've read korean ginseng boosts sperm production and raises testosterone levels.

[My Fabulous Children]

How's everyone here? Hope you're all doing well ...

Do you ladies think it is too late to order Fertilte CM and FUR now? (I'm on CD12) I don't think my ovulation is close at all. Like always LATE! OR I should wait for next cycle if it didn't work out this cycle.

[TTC5]

I'd wait till next cycle :) But FX you don't need to ;)

[WashingtonPromise]

It has been a bit slow on here...

princess: So, you only had spotting for 1-2 days? I agree with everyone, get another beta. Or at about 6-7 wks, if nothig has happened get an u/s. With DD2 I started spotting @ 5wks (I had already had 3 miscarriages), so I just knew I had lost another baby. I only spotted for 2 days (and had 1 big gush...sorry tmi), so the doc ask me to come in when I was almost 7wks. The wait was aweful, then on the u/s there was a healthy little bean with a h/b. There also was another smaller bean with no h/b, so that was why I had the spotting, I was m/c the twin. After that it was a normal pregnancy. Keep us updated....fx.

I would wait until next cycle....if there is one :) When do you expect to O?


My cycle has been all off. I had tons of + opk and my temps have been so up and down (I have not put them into FF yet, they just looked so weird). Then FINALLY, I got my second high temp in a row today.....hopfully I finally Oed on cd 18. I think it is because of the chemical I had last month

[cemas]

Um, I was a size 6 before, now a size 12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ditto for me too :((

[Foxy]

Hobbermittens - I took ginsing and so did DH. We took it with our last sway too. It's supposed to increase testosterone.

[LolaInLove]

MFC, I'd wait till next cycle also, just see what happens now. I don't think a supp works unless you take it for a week or two at least, but I could be wrong.

It has been a bit slow on here....I guess the preggos have moved on, which is understandable.

WP, how are you feeling? I am CD20 today also, 7dpo. Of course, not holding out any hope any more, just trying to be chill about it all.

I am so disgusted with how much weight I've gained, it's like I look like a totally different person now. Every time I look in the mirror, I am freaked out. I think this drive for a boy, this belief in swaying, has kept me ok with it for a long time, and I just told myself that someday when I have my son, I will think it was all worth it to let my body totally change for a year or so. But now, I can't do it anymore. Heck, I'd be happy to have a girl at this point, any baby as long as it was human! So, I have been torturing myself with the girl diet now, LOL.....shrinking my stomach back to regular capacity and teaching my body to have 1/2 the food it is used to is HARD! I'm starving!

[LolaInLove]

Hobbermittens - I took ginsing and so did DH. We took it with our last sway too. It's supposed to increase testosterone.

I had heard that also. It's an ingredient in my DH's super sperm vitamins.

Hun, I think it takes a while to work? Like 3 months to get the full effect? Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I used it for 2 months last time before my attempt.

[LolaInLove]

Foxy, I think the Fcm can take anywhere from a month to more, you are right. I noticed nothing but my cm DRY UP when I took it back in my early days of swaying like a million years ago!

You go girl!!! You will feel so much better about the situation if you loss a bit of weight. Like you said, a healthy baby is the goal. At least a slimmer waistline will make you like the mirror again. Maybe you should slowly wean yourself off food. Are you still using your fertility cookbook?

I am getting a new exercise system soon, The Firm Express. The cardio is less than 20 mins, so it should be boy friendly, and you do it with weghts. The scale seems to be going up again, so I have to do something. DH is not up for new clothes unless they are maternity and I only have one pair of jeans that fit as it is....and they are tight. I have boxes of smaller clothes though :( Blah. At least I think I am in the 2WW, though. Might not be the best time for me to change everything....hmmm.

[Hobbermittens]

You could always try the Atkins... I don't know how pregnancy friendly it is, but it works--and fast!

[Hobbermittens]

WP. I hope you are in the 2WW now! When can you test?

[princessap]

Hey girls, Well I am officially out...passed the little bean this morning....saw it and knew right away...it was preceeded by really bad cramps and heavy bleeding....so sad....I won't be back on here anymore...good luck to all! I hope we all end up with another little one soon! take care

[Flava]

Im here! But really now it's like what to do? No more sup taking , drink counting ect ect. I log on every day a little bit but ttc blue grads are slow , and I don't want to post all about preggo stuff and Q. here because I don't want to hurt no one.
Also still scared from m/c here...

Lola I hope for your bfp and WP too !

princess Im so very sorry!!XXXXXX

[WashingtonPromise]

WP. I hope you are in the 2WW now! When can you test?

I think I am 2dpo....tomorrows temp will tell, although EWCM is pretty much gone. The green tea worked wonders this cycle!!! I stopped drinking it until next cycle....if I have one.

If you want to be here, please keep posting!!! B left because she just needed some time to adjust to her changes. We all want to know how you are doing, and I know I won't be visiting the preggo board until I have another bean.

Any symptoms? Did you have any symptoms before you tested?

[WashingtonPromise]

Where's Jane and Tink?

Z: Great!!! A cycle buddy!!! After the heartache last month, I might just wait until AF, but I do have some FRER and digis calling my name from the closet. I need to box them and send them with DH to work before I get too close to testing. When are you testing?

[hope.ful]

Tink is on the Sept 2WW board hanging out.

AF came today, so I'm officially out for a June baby. We will ttc again next month. I've never had any problems before. Does anyone have suggestions for me? I'm only 30 and DH is 31 so we're young, my temp always shifts and I have a normal AF so I think I'm ovulating. Are there any natural fertility things besides green tea that won't mess with our sway, that could help the fertility?

[Flava]

hope- Im sorry! I don't know what to suggest maybe take DHEA? I did that too.

WP- Im fine thanks for asking. Just sleepy and today I did not feel so good when i was hungry.

[TTC5]

Hobbermittens - I took ginsing and so did DH. We took it with our last sway too. It's supposed to increase testosterone.

Pregnant mummas - please stay!

To the ladies who are moving on, will miss you all :'( But understand xxxx

ASF - CD 14 and just temping and using the CBFM and still on low - no sign of ovulation? Must be because I came off the pill?

I completely understand....

DD1....unexpected pregnancy, so didn't have to try.
DS1.....first month TTC
DS2....had 2 miscarriages while TTC (very hard that time)
DD2....we were going to start TTCing the next month, but had unprotected sex 5 days before Oing
DD3....oops, never had a cycle because I was nursing DD2 still
DD4.... BIG ooops, also didn't have a cycle....bf DD3 (notice a cycle?).

So, the only child we have ever really had to "try" for was DS2. We are on our third month TTCing (the second month resulted in a chemical preg) But, things happen.

You sound healthy and young....it will happen. How many months have you been TTCing?

[Tink18]

hi girls! wp said i was being missed. i could have sworn i wrote yesterday...but i guess not. anyhoo...i have nothing to report other the im 6dpo. i swear my boobs hurt but its probably because i have been feeling myself up so much checking i made them hurt! last night and this morning i had pains that made me say hmmmm...almost felt like a knife or a cold sensation. i cant really explain it. im just trying to not read into every little thing and get my hopes up.

lola how many dpo are you?

i stopped working out as much and i think i have gained weight but i am.still like a 6-8.i also have.huge boobs too sooooo thats another factor. oh well dh thinks im hot and thats all i care about!

I'm waiting!!!

I would wait until next cycle....if there is one :) When do you expect to O?


My cycle has been all off. I had tons of + opk and my temps have been so up and down (I have not put them into FF yet, they just looked so weird). Then FINALLY, I got my second high temp in a row today.....hopfully I finally Oed on cd 18. I think it is because of the chemical I had last month

I have no idea :( My cycles are crazy!!! plus I took clomid.

[My Fabulous Children]

MFC, I'd wait till next cycle also, just see what happens now. I don't think a supp works unless you take it for a week or two at least, but I could be wrong.

It has been a bit slow on here....I guess the preggos have moved on, which is understandable.

WP, how are you feeling? I am CD20 today also, 7dpo. Of course, not holding out any hope any more, just trying to be chill about it all.

I am so disgusted with how much weight I've gained, it's like I look like a totally different person now. Every time I look in the mirror, I am freaked out. I think this drive for a boy, this belief in swaying, has kept me ok with it for a long time, and I just told myself that someday when I have my son, I will think it was all worth it to let my body totally change for a year or so. But now, I can't do it anymore. Heck, I'd be happy to have a girl at this point, any baby as long as it was human! So, I have been torturing myself with the girl diet now, LOL.....shrinking my stomach back to regular capacity and teaching my body to have 1/2 the food it is used to is HARD! I'm starving!

Yeah I'm waiting, Lets just see what happens now.

I am so sick of my new look (sigh)!!!

[My Fabulous Children]

Hey girls, Well I am officially out...passed the little bean this morning....saw it and knew right away...it was preceeded by really bad cramps and heavy bleeding....so sad....I won't be back on here anymore...good luck to all! I hope we all end up with another little one soon! take care

I'm VERY sorry. Take care dear!

[My Fabulous Children]

Im here! But really now it's like what to do? No more sup taking , drink counting ect ect. I log on every day a little bit but ttc blue grads are slow , and I don't want to post all about preggo stuff and Q. here because I don't want to hurt no one.
Also still scared from m/c here...

Lola I hope for your bfp and WP too !

princess Im so very sorry!!XXXXXX

Hey Flava!

May I ask why you made TWO attempts? Just wondering I remember you were freaking out about going natural? ..I am really thinking about two attempts, but I have no idea about my O day so I migh end up with just one.

[My Fabulous Children]

Hey WP, I'm 2dpo :)
We have eternity before our testing :rofl: When will you test?

Good luck to WP, ZB! Hope you ladies get your BFP's!! Baby dust to both of you.

[My Fabulous Children]

Tink is on the Sept 2WW board hanging out.

AF came today, so I'm officially out for a June baby. We will ttc again next month. I've never had any problems before. Does anyone have suggestions for me? I'm only 30 and DH is 31 so we're young, my temp always shifts and I have a normal AF so I think I'm ovulating. Are there any natural fertility things besides green tea that won't mess with our sway, that could help the fertility?

I'm so sorry AF showed up. Are you making just one attempt? What about RJ/BP.

[Flava]

Hey Flava!

May I ask why you made TWO attempts? Just wondering I remember you were freaking out about going natural? ..I am really thinking about two attempts, but I have no idea about my O day so I migh end up with just one.

Yeah Im scared we did natural but msu didn't work either and DH said not to try again.We did like many others here every 2 days to build up sperm count. So 6-4-2 day before O. Not on O day because DH had an ooops...anyway I think only the O-4 and O-2 counts because lot's of ppl get pregnant with dtd only O-4 or only O-2 but very few from O-6.
I write down my sway but decided not to post it because there is no way I want ppl taking it a part and chew on it like they do on IG. I only post it IF it's a boy. Actually Im so happy I didn't post my sway with DD4.(not that anyone was interested on it)

Aww i am sure noone here will attack your sway! I would LOVE to read it :)

[Zivic-Bubac]

Thanks, WP! This was month #5 so it's just different than the last two times, but all in God's timing! I have a dr appt Oct 19so hopefully I will either be pg by then or my dr can help!Hope.ful, I think it's just bad luck and you will eventually get pg, like you said all in God's timing! :agree:

[LolaInLove]

If you want to be here, please keep posting!!! B left because she just needed some time to adjust to her changes. We all want to know how you are doing, and I know I won't be visiting the preggo board until I have another bean.

Any symptoms? Did you have any symptoms before you tested?

Yea, ITA Flava, you're not hurting anyone with your preggo talk!

[3Pink1Blue]

5- woohoo for a pH of 7, I couldn't get nearly that high without bsf.

Lola- i hear ya on the weight, the potential blue result makes you ignore the growing ass. I'm not going to lie that I hate my body much less this last week, I'm choosing to believe every lb mattered. I agree drop that weight and feel more like you. Try paleo, great weight loss and its high fat high protein so you feel full and can eat all the veg you can handle. I did it right before my attempt (because we weren't going to) and dropped 5 lbs in a week! I also think it may keep you in a very boy friendly way, you know just because :bigsmile:

Flava- post your sway, I can't imagine any here attacking like on IG. I would have never posted mine on IG as they would have chastised me for ignoring so many factors.

On the angry about losses, two weeks after my loss in Oct I saw a very pregnant woman smoking and chugging a red bull. I'm still amazed I managed to resist the urge to punch her in the face.

Holy crap I go MIA for a few days and it seems like so much has happened! So many in the 2ww and a few have left :( I'm still here and will not be going anywhere for more then a few days. Both dd1 & 2 had field trips this week and I was lucy enough to get to go on both but man they kicked my ass. DD1 was yesterday and they told us there was walking but it was actually more like hiking. Even the kids were exhausted! I needed my afternoons to nap and just couldn't concentrate enough to check in lol

[3Pink1Blue]

Oh I forgot to mention we're down to two names, dh favors the first one. Charles Robert, after my uncle who married us and my dad, we'll call him Charlie. Owen Robert, first name I love middle again after my dad. We probably won't decide till we actually see him, face and goods lol

[LolaInLove]

hi girls! wp said i was being missed. i could have sworn i wrote yesterday...but i guess not. anyhoo...i have nothing to report other the im 6dpo. i swear my boobs hurt but its probably because i have been feeling myself up so much checking i made them hurt! last night and this morning i had pains that made me say hmmmm...almost felt like a knife or a cold sensation. i cant really explain it. im just trying to not read into every little thing and get my hopes up.

lola how many dpo are you?

i stopped working out as much and i think i have gained weight but i am.still like a 6-8.i also have.huge boobs too sooooo thats another factor. oh well dh thinks im hot and thats all i care about!

I think I'm 8dpo today......can't wait till you test! It is nice to have a sweet DH who still thinks we are hot despite the weight gain. Mine is very cool about it also, but I hate it.

Not sure what diet I will do....kinda on the not eat much diet right now. I'm working my butt off right now, so it is distracting me and making me not have time to eat anyway.

Hopeful, I'm sorry.....sometimes I wonder if swaying is anti-fertile in and of itself, because there have been lots of women who take longer to conceive when swaying, but don't let that discourage you. Sometimes it just takes a while, but obviously you can get pg with your husband, so you will soon enough! I would do the green tea, maybe a wheatgrass supplement or smoothies, just fertility-friendly stuff like eating well and exercising, ya know?

And again, Princess, I will miss you, but totally understand. xxoo

[LolaInLove]

Glad you're not leaving, 3P1B! None of you who are pregnant make us upset....at least I speak for myself, and I'm the infertile one (well, couple) here, so no worries!

[Hobbermittens]

Hey, can I ask y'all a question? When TTC boy, is it preferred to DTD a bunch before your fertile window just to raise your T? I just read that in a thread somewhere. I haven't done that this cycle at ALL! I just had AF (we never DTD during that time--too gross) and am on day 11 (AF lasted 7 days) and we haven't DTD yet. I was planning on starting tonight...:nails: but now I am worried that I should have done it a few days ago! I was having DH hold off a few days to get some good swimmers stored up, so today is day 3 (possibly 4) of abstaining. (He can't remember if he released on Monday or Tuesday).

I am just stressed out. I don't know when I am going to O... and DD2 just got diagnosed with roseola, so I am worried about TTC while she has that.

[Hobbermittens]

I would love to read you sway, Flava! I don't think anyone on this site would pick it apart.

[Hobbermittens]

3P1B, I love both Owen and Charlie! Great choices!

All you pregnant ladies, please don't leave! I like having you around!

Thanks!!

On dtd a bunch before I'm pretty sure the theory is that's lots of O's will raise pH, not sure about testosterone. I wouldn't stress about it I conceived my guy with a pH of 5.5-6.

[WashingtonPromise]

3p1b: I love Charlie!!!

Hobber: I think Roseola (sp?) is more of a childhood thing....maybe I am mistaken.
Just dtd, you will be fine. How long until you O? CD14?

I don't know when I will O. Anywhere between CD13 and CD16. That's the problem. I guess we should have DTD day before yesterday, but I wasn't thinking about it early enough to have DH abstain from releasing for a few days, so I had him abstain Wed and Thurs, so today would be our day, right?

Well, we are fine if that's the case, because I have been giving myself a Big O the last few nights for just that exact purpose (weird to have to do it by myself--but I have to do it away from DH so he doesn't try to get involved since he is supposed to be abstaining for a few days).

Glad to hear it is possible with a low pH! I haven't had much luck getting over 6.5 w/o the BSF. BTW, how many times did you DTD after AF when you got pg?

We have a new thread for October:

http://genderdreaming.com/forum/showthread.php?5631-October-Chit-Chat-Thread-for-Blue-Swayers.-All-welcome!!

See you there :)

[3Pink1Blue]

Wp- thanks!

Hobber- I did do a bsf 30min-1 hr before each attempt but only the one. We had great timing by pure luck, 4 day obstain then an o-2 and o.

But did you do it any other days (with protection or whatever) leading up to your attempt? Or were those two times all you did the entire cycle?

[3Pink1Blue]

We used condoms until the 4 day abstinence then not for 3-4 days after the attempt. For us condoms require lube and I wanted to be sure there was nothing hostile in there around our attempt.

Can you use pre seed with condoms? This would be ok I hope as this is my plan :S

[3Pink1Blue]

You could, I just didn't have any.

[TTC5]

Oh good! I too need lube when using condoms.
