TTC boy Feb 2012 chit chat thread

[Hobbermittens]

Hobber, please don't get disappointed about anything yet......you could be all worried and upset for the next 10 weeks only to find out that it is a boy and you tortured yourself for nothing. Try to stay on the fence about it if you can and stay positive....I think it is better for your baby for you to feel good inside.

I know I shouldn't stress about it, but I really feel that my sway didn't work. We are staying team green, so I won't know until birth anyway. Thanks for the pep talk, though. :)

[Flava]

I need a high quality prenatal .What would be a good one plz?

[purplepoet20]

Why do you need one??? I would go for an Organic Liq one since it would be chemical free and easily absorbed!

[Yahmama]

Yeah for team green! If we get preggo, I totally want to go that way! Enjoy the pregnancy without stressing over the gender. I think it would be easier for me not to get gd if I have a precious baby in my arms rather than waiting 5 more months!

[purplepoet20]

Well actually DH changed his mind...Im bad at keeping secrets:hide::oops:

I wonder why he changed his mind!

That was my thought originally, but my GD has already set in. I KNOW this baby is a girl, so I already wish I hadn't been so stupid as to sway. :( Plus, and I have had 3 psychics say this baby is a girl, so that just made me feel worse.

[3Pink1Blue]

Hey ladies, no baby yet but here's the view this morning.

because prenatal vitamins are on blue sup list. So anyone?:bigsmile:

[Flava]

I wonder why he changed his mind!

Because he just want that little boy so much I guess.:wink: But oh Lord if we get another girl like we always do...then I don't know ...I don't want to see his face when they say it's a girl...:sad:

[Flava]

That was my thought originally, but my GD has already set in. I KNOW this baby is a girl, so I already wish I hadn't been so stupid as to sway. :( Plus, and I have had 3 psychics say this baby is a girl, so that just made me feel worse.

Don't be like that! At least YOU already have a son! YOU know you can have a boy! I don't even have that feeling. And psychics are crap anyway how can anyone read you from a online post, email ect??? huh? They can't! i asked them too and some said girl some boy. Whatever. This can be a BOY for you.
And I love the ticker so cute! ahhh I always wanted a October baby. (boy lol) well not gonna happen. But I take any month!

[Flava]

Hey ladies, no baby yet but here's the view this morning.

Thanks for the reassurance, flava. I'm just not feeling it... I know this baby is a girl. I was hoping I could have a boy since I have a son already, but I think I should have just quit while I was ahead.

I hope your sway works and you get that baby boy!! WHen are you planning your attempt?

[Yahmama]

You're really too hard on yourself! If you hadn't have swayed, you would always regret it. And I've heard SO many people get wrong psychic readings. I'm keeping FX you have a boy!

[Hobbermittens]

because prenatal vitamins are on blue sup list. So anyone?:bigsmile:

I just took a regular over the counter one. It think any kind is fine?

[Hobbermittens]

Thanks... cross all your fingers for me. :) I am not getting my hopes up, though. I figure you can't be disappointed if you don't expect anything.

CHarlie! Come out!!!!

[Flava]

I hope your sway works and you get that baby boy!! WHen are you planning your attempt?

well you just think you know because you feel the sway didn't worked so it's a girl. But yeah could be a boy for sure!I hope it's your boy!
For me thanks I really want a boy but this is my sway #3 so what should I say?Im the one who should not sway anymore...so tired of "it's a girl" i love my girls but just once to hear "it's a boy!" would be so awesome! I guess that's why we try one last time.
After my second AF .Waiting for the first AF to show up I have no idea about my cycle so have to use FF again on CD1. Maybe next week i guess.

[TTC5]

DH said he is getting a vasectomy after this one :(

[TTC5]

No I haven't been tempting, I haven't been doing anything cause I am not swaying this cycle just going with the flow and see what happens. Yeah it is normal for my CM to switch back and forth all the time.


If I am not pregnant this month I am thinking of having a few months off, so I will probably start using OPT and try to temp next time I ttc.


So I went to the toilet and when I wiped I had some EWCM on the toilet paper and that hardly ever happens, usually have to check my cervix to find some.
My cervix feels softer then usual so not sure if O is happening.
We haven't DTD for about 5days so think we should do it tonight just incase, what do you think?

Yep go for it!!!

[TTC5]

hobber-for sure you can have a boy in there!

just like ttc5 but for some reason I think she is a done deal , she got a boy.

lbam- we have to start temping I so hate that alarm...and thinking oh if I was up to pee then now this temp is not right? ugh...I don't care I will only temp just to see my cycle and I pee all night if I want to! lol

For the weight loss yeah I lost 18 lbs but still have 19 left on me lol. I just eat very little and run around outside with the kids. This is the only cooler time around here so we can go out!

Oh I hope your right Flava!!! xxx Can't wait for you to start trying!!!

[skrimpy]

Thank you to everyone who looked at my chart. I have never had an Anovulatory Cycle before, but doing google searches it seems it is quite common. Never mind, i will just keep eating eggs and drinking pills blah blah blah.

Cinss I agree that your chart looks anovulatory. It is relatively common. Did you have a lot of stress this month? That can sometimes halt it. I've had one anovulatory cycle since I've been charting. I kept trying to spot O dates on it, but finally decided that it just didn't happen. I had a normal cycle the next month, though. FX for you!

[skrimpy]

I need a high quality prenatal .What would be a good one plz?

So excited you guys are going to try again Flava! I like New Chapter Perfect Prenatal, full of nutrients and easy on my tummy. I get it from Amazon via their Subscribe and Save program to save money :)

Such a sweet view though :) Can't wait to see the little man on the outside!

[dloui128]

OK ladies I am swaying blue and I am having a hard time coming up with lunch ideas on the boy diet. Does anyone have any suggestions? I will pretty much try anything.

[Cinss]

dloui - i usually have tuna on crackers, sometimes vegimite or peanutbutter on toast with fruit. Chicken salad would be fine, any protien + carb combo with added salt, the options are endless.

Skrimpy thanks for looking, i can't say i was under too much stress, i'm not worried about it anymore, if it happens again i will get concerned, but i just have this feeling that April will be my month.

I do not have the willpower to stay team green, It's so hard for me. I wish I could.

I don't believe in psychic at all, If they tell me this baby is a boy I would think how can this be true?! Or a girl I still don't believe in them. I have hope either way I don't believe in them, LOL! I believe in God that's it. I know its just for fun, but really I don't like doing this stuff :)

[My Fabulous Children]

Because he just want that little boy so much I guess.:wink: But oh Lord if we get another girl like we always do...then I don't know ...I don't want to see his face when they say it's a girl...:sad:

I hope NOT, I really hope and pray you will get your boy this time :pray:

I've missed my chance this cycle, CM has gone creamy

[Cinss]

Bummer lbam :sad: would you try DTD every second day next time ? That is my plan for this cycle.

Same here lunch is so hard to do!

[Flava]

I hope NOT, I really hope and pray you will get your boy this time :pray:

Thanks a lot me too!!! It's just after 2 sway and no boy so hard to believe I can have one.Sometimes I think we can do whatever we want not going to have a boy. Maybe something is wrong with us .Or DH can't make a boy , or I can't have a boy at all. Or just I can't get a boy from my DH. and so on so on....:sigh:

[Flava]

Im sorry XXX you try next month right?

Although this is my first attempt at swaying I feel just like you, that I just won't be able to make a boy or that my hubs won't be able to give me a boy, its stressful at times:sad:

[Flava]

Im sorry! XX See we feel the same . And after failed sways is even harder .It's like wth who am I kidding thing...BUT still hopping so so much! This is our last try for sure and it's a different diet what actually make sense for the first time really.
So maybe finally we get a boy!:pray::pray:

[Flava]

I have to go on the treadmill :sigh: ("I work out":rofl:)


I don't like avocado and really don't want to make guacamole all the time from it. Any good tips how to eat it? What else can i do with it how to cook with it?

tnx!

[LolaInLove]

Don't be like that! At least YOU already have a son! YOU know you can have a boy! I don't even have that feeling. And psychics are crap anyway how can anyone read you from a online post, email ect??? huh? They can't! i asked them too and some said girl some boy. Whatever. This can be a BOY for you.
And I love the ticker so cute! ahhh I always wanted a October baby. (boy lol) well not gonna happen. But I take any month!

I could not agree with everything Flava said here more. No getting GD already! You may have a boy, you never know!

[LolaInLove]

thanks I usually do tuna, or a turkey sub, sometimes chicken breast, but I am getting tired of the same thing everyday I am so bad at coming up with ideas :(

I know, it does get old! Just know on this site that the diet is really endless like Cinss said, you just want to be sure to eat protein and carbs together for lunch, and a nice side of greens and fruit is always good too. The rule of thumb is to be as healthy as possible for a boy, and intaking 9 servings of fruit and veggies a day is the rule, although it can be hard to do!

[LolaInLove]

I don't like avocado and really don't want to make guacamole all the time from it. Any good tips how to eat it? What else can i do with it how to cook with it?

tnx!

I put avocados in my salads....you can also drizzle olive oil and balsamic vinegar over it and eat it kind of antipasto style (like an appetizer). Maybe sprinkle a bit of salt on it also. I really think they are excellent for swaying blue.

[LolaInLove]

3P1B, love the view from above! I can't wait to see him and read your birth story!!!!

And you guys, no feeling defeated!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hobbs, I know you are already pg, but you very well may have a boy in there, and you are just making yourself miserable for nothing! For the swayers, you need to feel like this is a competition that you are going to WIN. Get that testosterone kickin'! Zillions of women have boys after having 2,3, or more girls....with no swaying at all. My mom did for one! And you all are upping your blue odds with swaying, so please don't feel dejected before you even begin.

[Yahmama]

I've missed my chance this cycle, CM has gone creamy

So sorry :(

[Princess of Pink]

It's hard not to feel like it is impossible when you have had 4 failed sways that got better and more in-depth with each child conceived....not to mention the 4 losses that happened during that time.

Most people don't even know what it feels like to get the same gender 5 times over!! While everyone else around you eventually seems to get an opposite.

My grandmother had 5 girls in a row, then her 6th was a boy! :)

[Yahmama]

Still here :(

So sorry :( Those last days are so miserable, I remember. And it never helps when people say, "just enjoy your sleep now because you won't get any soon"...those people forget how near impossible it is to sleep at 40+ weeks!

[TTC5]

I have never gone over due but can only imagine how uncomfortable it is :(

[Princess of Pink]

My grandmother had 5 girls in a row, then her 6th was a boy! :)

Thank you so much!! Some days it just looks so impossible...it's great to hear that it CAN happen!! :hug2:

[Flava]

If you don't like it don't eat it, is what I say!! ;)

But i want to. That's why I ask how to cook with it. I only know to grill it that's it.

[3Pink1Blue]

Yahmama - yeah the sleeping is brutal especially since I'm measuring at 42 weeks!

[Hobbermittens]

Flava, I don't usually cook with avocado... I don't think I have ever had it cooked that I can think of? It is usually in salads, in guacamole, in tacos, etc. It is also good on sandwiches! Try it on a turkey sandwich with bacon.... MMMMMMMMMMM!!

[Hobbermittens]

Thank you everyone for saying I could be carrying a boy... but I promise you, I am not. I am absolutely, positively SURE my sway failed. I will HAPPILY pay everyone on this site 10 bucks if my sway worked and I give birth to a baby boy!!

All I can do is offer my advice to everyone. Make sure you are set on your sway plan, and DON'T CHANGE IT just because it is taking you longer to conceive than you thought. I had perfect attempts for 2 months, and the one month I changed things up a bit, I O'ed early, and the entire sway got screwed. Now I get to regret it for the rest of my life. It SUCKS.

I'm trying to remember, what happened with the timing of your bd? Was it after O? I ended up with a weird attempt this month...had 3 low temps in a row and EWCM, so we dtd, and next morning had a temp rise, but then for some ODD reason, my temp dipped back down this morning and I still had a +opk and lots more EWCM, so we DTD again to be sure...I'm not holding much hope in my attempt either, and it seems strange things happen with everyone's cycles when trying to sway! Here's the link to my chart...My Ovulation Chart (http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/3967ba)
I'm sure I'll be feeling just like you if I get a bfp this month :(

[Princess of Pink]

I think your timing will be perfect! THat is what I was going for--I was hoping for O-4, O-2 and O. But for some screwball reason, I O'ed the same day I got + opk (that had never happened before--I always O 24-36hrs after a +opk) on CD12 (I also never O on CD12, always CD13 or 14 or occasionally 15), so I ended up with O-3, O-1 and O+1. Horrible timing. I thought the high temp on CD13 was a fluke, so that's why we DTD that day. But then my temp stayed up. I know everyone says timing doesn't matter, but I can't stomach the fact that I didn't DTD on O day! We DTD around midnight on CD11, so I guess it could have been close to O, depending on what time I ovulated that next day... but who knows. The only thing I am happy about was that I O'ed right on the full moon, but I doubt that holds very much weight. I also O'ed on the cusp between moon signs... I would have O'ed in a boy moon sign if I hadn't O'ed early.

[Princess of Pink]

Exciting...when I O'ed...

[Plum3]

Hey ladies,

LBAM, sorry that things didn't turn out the way you wanted. It's so hard when one of you is tired, feels like a chore sometimes doesn't it? Will you try next month?

Yahmama, FX for you! Looking at your chart, I think you O'd Friday. Is that right? I guess you have to see if your temps go up first.

Lola, it sounds like you have the right frame of mind. If you expect the worst you can't be too disappointed right? Well, in theory anyway. Still, I hope this month is the one!

babyblessing, thankyou :) That's great that the microscope is working for you. Are you temping as well? My pH is low too, around 5.5-6 but, I don't care anymore. I don't even really think it has any influence to be honest.

Flava, I take Elevit for my prenatal. I don't think it's available outside Australia though. I know what you mean about DH's face if they say this next baby is a girl, I don't want to see that look either. I will feel like a total failure, even though I know that the idea is absolutely absurd.

Hobber, you only 'think' it's a girl. How can you 'know'? You can't feel defeated based on a few predictions. You just don't know until the baby is born! Why do you think that timing is messed up? Was your CM still EW on your O+1 attempt?

POP, good luck! How's the 2ww treating you?

So, 7dpo for me today. Still having cramps every day. Hoping it's a good sign :)

[Cinss]

Flava - you can mush up avacado into any pasta sauce, creamy ones work really well, but tomato ones are good too, then serve that over grilled chicken on rice, or any meat or pasta.

[skrimpy]

DH said he is getting a vasectomy after this one :(

((hugs)) my DH has mentioned a vas for when we're "done" but it just sits so wrong with me, so I understand how crummy that can feel.

[skrimpy]

Skrimpy thanks for looking, i can't say i was under too much stress, i'm not worried about it anymore, if it happens again i will get concerned, but i just have this feeling that April will be my month.

I hope so Cinss!

Hobber I would guess you conceived from the day 11 BD and to me that sounds like good timing. I know from experience that it's impossible not to obsess now, but try not to feel too many regrets.

My biggest regret w/ Honor is that I let myself have a really crummy pregnancy the first half...I wish I'd taken better care of myself and not worried so much that I didn't get my DG. I don't want to sound preachy but I would like to help another mama not feel so much pain (and I feel it was unfair to Honor).

Overall you had made the changes to change your own internal environment... I do think there is something to timing, but I think diet/lifestyle makes a MUCH bigger difference. Keeping you in my thoughts :)

Hobber, you only 'think' it's a girl. How can you 'know'? You can't feel defeated based on a few predictions. You just don't know until the baby is born! Why do you think that timing is messed up? Was your CM still EW on your O+1 attempt?


Yes, I had a lot of CM on CD13, as well as my cervix being "SHOW". I really thought I O'ed CD13. But because my temp never went down, I can't say for sure. The night before I had the weird high temp, I didn't sleep well, and was awake for a long time before I took my temperature in the morning (I was still in bed, but was awake about a 1/2 hr). So that could have caused me to THINK I O'ed on CD12 when I actually did O on CD13? But I will never know. It doesn't matter now, because what is done is done. But I am just such a catastrophic thinker. In hindsight, swaying was probably a really bad choice for me. I wish we could have afforded high tech.

I hope you are right, and the timing was okay. I really did change my lifestyle a LOT with this sway--I have noticed since becoming pregnant how differently I was eating while swaying. So I really hope that made a difference.

And I appreciate the advice about taking care of myself. I know I will love the baby regardless, but it is going to be hard if it is a girl. It took me a long time to come around to DD2.

[Hobbermittens]

CONGRATS ON BABY CHARLIE!!!! I am so happy that he came without you having to be induced. And he's gorgeous!! You must be over the moon!!

OMG!!!! YAY!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! :cheerteam: He's beautiful!!! Can't wait to hear all about the birth! Enjoy your babymoon! xoxo

[Yahmama]

I think your timing will be perfect! THat is what I was going for--I was hoping for O-4, O-2 and O. But for some screwball reason, I O'ed the same day I got + opk (that had never happened before--I always O 24-36hrs after a +opk) on CD12 (I also never O on CD12, always CD13 or 14 or occasionally 15), so I ended up with O-3, O-1 and O+1. Horrible timing. I thought the high temp on CD13 was a fluke, so that's why we DTD that day. But then my temp stayed up. I know everyone says timing doesn't matter, but I can't stomach the fact that I didn't DTD on O day! We DTD around midnight on CD11, so I guess it could have been close to O, depending on what time I ovulated that next day... but who knows. The only thing I am happy about was that I O'ed right on the full moon, but I doubt that holds very much weight. I also O'ed on the cusp between moon signs... I would have O'ed in a boy moon sign if I hadn't O'ed early.

I'm actually totally confused when I Od...I woke up this am with another temp increase, but started having really STRONG o pains...so I did another opk and it was extremely dark right away. So I think I Od this am which would make for o-3, o-1 and we're going to try to Dtd during the kids nap today....I hope we haven't lowered dh's sperm count doing it so much! My temps literally look like mountains! I'm so confused about this cycle! I have no clue what the moon signs are now just that the full moon was back on Tues and it's now Sat :( at least you got it on the full moon exactly! I really think the ions help the sway a lot, actually!

[Yahmama]

congrats, 3P1B!!!!!!! He's a cutie:)

[Flava]

Thanks for the tips ! Yeah taco , sandwiches and sauce could work .I will try

And just want to say since timing is more or less already proven not to be true you guys have to relax on it! I think it's very good y'all did more then one attempt so yeah it can be a boy from it!!!!:bluesperm:

Can you post your chart again so I can take a look? This temp stuff is so confusing.

341465 Ovulation charts on FertilityFriend.com (http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/341465)

We DTD at almost midnight on CD11, so it was almost CD 12, technically. But who knows WHEN I ovulated. And the CD12 temp is the one in dispute. I tried discarding it, but FF still says that was O day.

[Hobbermittens]

I'm actually totally confused when I Od...I woke up this am with another temp increase, but started having really STRONG o pains...so I did another opk and it was extremely dark right away.

I think your timing is good if you get a shot in there today! I was worried about lower sperm count a little, but atomic says that you have to DTD a bunch in a row (like 4 or 5 days) for that to happen.

[Foxy]

Oh he is beautiful, Jen!!! Congratulations! What a big boy! :babym:

[Cinss]

Yahmama - Definatly DTD at nap time for 1 last shot, but i wouldn't be surprised if your egg has already been met by the little guys in there already.

Jen - CONGRATULATIONS, that time - 4.44am is SO cool !

Hobber - nothing anyone says is going to make you think you have a boy in there, but ill just say it one more time so that you might accept this - "You have a really really great shot at having a BOY in there, don't get down on yourself about your sway, there is NO point worriying about it".

[Kris217]

Aww so cute, congratulations 3!

I am stumped why it would tell you cd12...you had 2 positive opk days...do you remember it being darker cd13? Mine was def darker today even with temp rise...I really think you Od cd13 just like I think I Od on this temp rise day!

[Yahmama]

I think your timing is good if you get a shot in there today! I was worried about lower sperm count a little, but atomic says that you have to DTD a bunch in a row (like 4 or 5 days) for that to happen.

I'm so glad to hear that...it ended up being 30 hrs...

[Yahmama]

Yahmama - Definatly DTD at nap time for 1 last shot, but i wouldn't be surprised if your egg has already been met by the little guys in there already.

We did ;). And I hope you're right that the egg was met by "little guys"....the girlies better stay away! Lol....Im pretty sure it's just a 50/50 shot anyway even with swaying. It's in Gods hands now what He gives us!

[Hobbermittens]

I am stumped why it would tell you cd12...you had 2 positive opk days...do you remember it being darker cd13? Mine was def darker today even with temp rise...I really think you Od cd13 just like I think I Od on this temp rise day!

YES! It was totally darker on CD13, on the day of the second + opk. On CD12, when I first got the + opk, the lines were equal darkness, but by the next day (CD13) the test line was darker than the control line.

Glad you went for it during nap time. I think you had plenty of swimmers in there after a 30 hr hold! :)

[TTC5]

Feeling bit paranoid right now.. have had a tough day and have done alot of crying!! By this time I would have started feeling sick but so far nothing (I am 7w 1 d. MS started last week) please tell me my emotional health today has not hurt the baby..

[soni]

3PIB, Congratulations!! He is adorable!

Yahmama, sounds like good attempts - you filled the crypts and then some!

Hobber, everyone's been telling you but really don't know till the baby is here - there is a 50-50 chance still. I would be happy to just be pregnant.. sigh!

TT5 - aww - i hope you feel better soon but really babies are much stronger than we give them credit for.

[soni]

BEC, Hope this is your month! and mine :)

I am 4dpo but nothing is happening. I feel perfectly normal. Last month I had "symptoms" like cramping and hunger etc. - thought I was pregnant for sure.. oh well

[love being a mummy]

Im sorry XXX you try next month right?
Nope, this was my last attempt. Taking a few months off.
I have put on so much weight maybe thats whats stopping me from conceiving, who knows.
But I feel so unhealthy and have no energy.
I need to focus on myself and my health for a while and hopefully in a few months I may give it another attempt.

[Hobbermittens]

TTC5, I bet the baby is fine. :) Your little bean has beat the odds so far, and I am sure it will stay strong!!

[Cinss]

TTC5 - Don't even worry if you have an emotional day hun, the pregnancy horemones do it to all of us and have done since the beginning of time, your bubba is safe as houses!

LBAM - sorry you have had a rough time ttc, hope you pop in still to update us on whats going on with you.

As for me, AF is gone WOOHOO, she came early after an anovulotory cycle, and decided to leave early too. She usually hangs around for 7 days but only stayed for 4, now DP and i are back to our every second day schedule, he is so happy about that hahaha.

[Hobbermittens]

Cinss, are you doing BSF or anything with your attempts? Or Preseed? Just wondering, not sure if it would matter.

[TTC5]

LBAM huge hugs your feeling so crappy right now xxx

Bec - when are you testing?

[soni]

Well this month is different from last, with your symptoms, that has to be good :)

Cinss, I think the last month all the cramping was possibly due to the supps - EPO and flaxseed oil. My cycle also lengthened by a couple of days. This cycle I have given them a miss, so maybe thats why there are no "symptoms" lol

[Cinss]

Cinss, are you doing BSF or anything with your attempts? Or Preseed? Just wondering, not sure if it would matter.

Hobbs - umm, i think if i don't have a lot of ewcm i will definatly use preseed, and i will be drinking ural aproximatly 5 days before O, what do you think? I have never done bsf or douche.

Funny you should mention that, that is what happened to me the first month, EPO lengthened my cycle so i dropped it for the second month, then i didn't O at all, so i am now back on it, wonder what will happen this time?

[Yahmama]

YES! It was totally darker on CD13, on the day of the second + opk. On CD12, when I first got the + opk, the lines were equal darkness, but by the next day (CD13) the test line was darker than the control line.

Glad you went for it during nap time. I think you had plenty of swimmers in there after a 30 hr hold! :)

With the darker than control +opk on cd13, I would DEFINITELY say you O'd on that day!

[Cinss]

With the darker than control +opk on cd13, I would DEFINITELY say you O'd on that day!

I agree :)

[Yahmama]

Cinss- So glad the witch left you early so you can get on with your attempt this month! FX for you! Oh, and I did BS douche for all my attempts, and it is MUCH easier than BSF! I think it's safer too since you can't accidentally get the bs on your cervix! THe one time I tried bsf I did and it burned like crazy!

Bec & Soni- Hoping this month is it for you gals! When do you think you will test?

LBAM- definitely check in with us on how you're doing. I think I might take a break if I don't get preggo this month as I've put on too much weight on this high everything diet!! But then if I lose weight, I'll have to wait longer to put a little back on for a boy sway--oh too much to think about! But will be thinking of you!

TTC- I'm sure your little bean is coming along just fine! They are very resilient to stress, and God knows pregnant women are always on an emotional roller coaster ;) No need to worry IMO!

[Plum3]

Cinss, that's great that you can start BDing earlier. FX for you this month :)

[Plum3]

So, if you guys remember, I had a trigger again this cycle. I had it 12 days ago now. I tested 3 days ago and it was a bfn so obviously it's out of my system, well I assume so anyway. Tested again yesterday and there was a faint, faint line on a 25 sensitivity test. It was so faint that DH thought I was a little crazy, but he could see it. Tested again this morning with FMU on a FRER and got a faint line and tested with a 25 sensitivity test again and there was a clearly visible line, way darker than yesterday. I just pray it is for real and not the trigger lingering. It's a good sign it's getting darker I guess. Arghh, I hope this is it! I am only 9/10dpo today so it's really early as well.

[Hobbermittens]

CONGRATS BEC!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hobbermittens]

Cinss & Yahmama, thanks for the kind words on the + opks. Is that what a darker one means? That was the first month that I have ever noticed that. Usually they stay the same darkness once they are positive.

Anyway, if I O'ed on CD13, that makes me feel INFINTELY better about my sway. That means I O'ed in a male moon sign, and I had attempts on O-4, O-2 and O. :) Since there is no way to prove any of it, I will just hope that's really what happened. :)

[Hobbermittens]

Hobbs - umm, i think if i don't have a lot of ewcm i will definatly use preseed, and i will be drinking ural aproximatly 5 days before O, what do you think? I have never done bsf or douche.


I never did the douche (I think it would wash away CM) but I did the BSF. I don't know if it helped or not, but I did it before each attempt. It was easy and I know it helped get my pH up. I think you should just do what you are comfortable with. I only asked because I wasn't sure what the protocol was with DTD every other day after AF to O?

Oh i see what you mean, i guess we will be DTD using preseed while my cm is not fertile, then when i think O is around 5 days away i will start drinking ural, then when i get ewcm i will think about doing bsf for the 1 or 2 times it is like that.

[Cinss]

OMG BEC, wow !!!!! I hope this is your sticky sticky bean. Let those tests keep getting darker, woohoo :)

[Plum3]

Thanks Hobber and Cinss, I really hope this is a sticky one!

Gender ultrasound in 3 days I feel sick already :(

[Princess of Pink]

Massive congrats Bec...I so hope I can join you soon!!

MFC - I hope you see little boy parts!! Fingers crossed for you.

Still here waiting till it's time to test. Keep getting all these symptoms that you only notice when TTC but probably exist all the time. Trying hard to convince myself that testing on 5DPO is a waste of time lol

[TTC5]

Bec CONGRATS GIRL!!!!!

MFC you will hear boy ;)

[Yahmama]

Yah, Bec!!!!!!! Congrats! :running:

[Yahmama]

FF finally gave me crosshairs... My Ovulation Chart (http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/3967ba)
But it put O at cd 16 even though my opk was much darker than control on cd17 and I had the really strong O pains early Sat am on that day too. I know it's only a different of 6-10 hrs, but I wish it would line it up better!

WOO HOO! If you went to negative before, I would say you should be celebrating, Bec! Congrats, hon!!!! It is indeed a good sign if it's getting darker. So thrilled for you!!!! What month of ttc would this be for you now?

[Flava]

Yahmama -( I always want to type yamaha lol) anyway our temp go up and stay up after O so I think that's why FF put your O on cd16. When did you dtd? Hope you get that bfp.

Welcome to my world! Ugh, I sometimes don't think FF knows everything. It is just a computer program... you know your own body better!

That said, you know how badly I have been freaking out about MY chart and my attempt... I could tell you not to worry about it, but then I'd be a total hypocrite! Hopefully you are better at letting things go than I am. You still had a good attempt!!

[Yahmama]

Yahmama -( I always want to type yamaha lol) anyway our temp go up and stay up after O so I think that's why FF put your O on cd16. When did you dtd? Hope you get that bfp.

Haha..that's funny b/c I actually have a yamaha piano :) It's my initials+mama :) We dtd on cd14,16 & 17 so hoping we caught the egg! I first thought I o'd on cd14 since i had the spike in temp on cd15, but it went back down again, so we dtd again, then I had a darker opk on cd17 and tons of O pain, so we dtd again (30 hrs. after dtd on cd16) so I hope it didn't affect sperm count doing it 2 days in a row. THat's the only thing i'm worried about...

Yes, I agree we know our bodies better! It's hard for FF to pinpoint it too when things don't always fall into 24 hr. increments. I know it was early am on cd17, so it's close enough to what it says, but we dtd am on cd 16, which would be about 24 hrs. before O then we dtd at noon on cd 17, which would be about 6 hours after O...so I would have liked it closer, but oh, well. Worrying won't change anything now...

[Hobbermittens]

I hope it didn't affect sperm count doing it 2 days in a row. THat's the only thing i'm worried about...

Don't worry about DTD 2 days in a row. I got my first DS from BD 5-6 days in a row! What was the timing when you got your first DS?

[Flava]

THat's the only thing i'm worried about...

I think you did just good! And don't worry about 2 days in a row. Actually Im planing to do that! Every other day if we can or 3 days and then the 2 days .Like before O and on O if I can well see.Atomic says to lower count you have to do it for like 7 days .2 is nothing.

[Yahmama]

Don't worry about DTD 2 days in a row. I got my first DS from BD 5-6 days in a row! What was the timing when you got your first DS?

With my son, we had just had 2 miscarriages in a row, so I was just plain old worried about having kids at all! We dtd every other day with him...I still have the chart (on paper) where I did my temps with him and I'm pretty sure I O'd on one of the days we dtd.

[LolaInLove]

I agree with everyone, don't worry about the timing. DTD every day or every other day is fine! Boys come from all sorts of patterns as we know from lots of surveys on this site. Hope this is it for you!

[Flava]

I was just thinking anyone know where is "lightofmylife" ? I didn't see her post for a long time. She was going to ttc this year?

[dloui128]

Ok girls I am CD 1 today, I usually O on CD 13 (usually) hopefully this will be my lucky month. Any pointers?

[dloui128]

Oh and also how do I add my ovulation chart to the bottom of my posts?

[Yahmama]

Oh and also how do I add my ovulation chart to the bottom of my posts?

You put the link from FF into your signature. Go to the sharing button at the top of FF to get the code to copy. GL this month! How long have you been charting? I think that's the most important thing--to be aware of your CP, CM & temps to be able to determine when O has happened! Are you doing any sups, diet or other sway factors?

ok thanks I will try that
I have been charting for a few months
The supplements I am currently taking are
EPO 1000mg
Co Q 10
Prenatal
Vit D3
Wheatgrass tablets 2x daily
folic acid
fish oil
Vit E
My diet consists of at least 25grams of protein per meal with the same amount of carbs with a fruit or veggie 3 meals a day and then my snacks are usually almonds, rice cakes with peanut butter, fruit and veggies,dried apricots, and whey protein shakes, so I eat a total of around 6 times a day usually every 2hrs. As a treat before bed I usually have some dark choclolate.
I do weight training faithfully 2x's a week but somtimes I make it there 3
The only thing I drink is water or green tea, and sometimes I put lemon in my water but not everytime.
I haven't tested my PH because it was driving me crazy, but naturally my PH is pretty low I think like 6.5. So I was thinking of using Pre-Seed or doing the BSF, and going to make my hubs have a red bull or something right before BD.
As far as timing goes Im thinking O-2 and O? Does this sound ok?

My diet consists of at least 25grams of protein per meal with the same amount of carbs with a fruit or veggie 3 meals a day and then my snacks are usually almonds, rice cakes with peanut butter, fruit and veggies,dried apricots, and whey protein shakes, so I eat a total of around 6 times a day usually every 2hrs. As a treat before bed I usually have some dark choclolate.
I do weight training faithfully 2x's a week but somtimes I make it there 3
The only thing I drink is water or green tea, and sometimes I put lemon in my water but not everytime.
I haven't tested my PH because it was driving me crazy, but naturally my PH is pretty low I think like 6.5. So I was thinking of using Pre-Seed or doing the BSF, and going to make my hubs have a red bull or something right before BD.
As far as timing goes Im thinking O-2 and O? Does this sound ok?

Yes! That's a pretty classic sway there! Don't stress about the ph thing, that has also been proven to not matter. I would definitely add some preseed if you notice that your ewcm is lacking. The goal of the green tea and fish oil and lots of stuff is to increase your natural ewcm, but if you don't get that effect (I don't), you can just sub the preseed. Sounds like you got it going on , girl!

[Flava]

dloui-I think you are doing just fine , everything looks good.And 6.5 ph is not low lol not that it matter.

[Cinss]

Ok girls I am CD 1 today, I usually O on CD 13 (usually) hopefully this will be my lucky month. Any pointers?

Don't over analyse anything, keep up your diet and DTD when you have ewcm, you will be fine. Your sway looks perfect.


FF finally gave me crosshairs... My Ovulation Chart (http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/3967ba)
But it put O at cd 16 even though my opk was much darker than control on cd17 and I had the really strong O pains early Sat am on that day too. I know it's only a different of 6-10 hrs, but I wish it would line it up better!

I don't see what you mean, your chart looks great, if you keep getting temp rises it will look even better. You could take away the +opk's on CD15 and 16 to see if it will move?

[dloui128]

Cinss- yes you're right I do tend to over analyze, but hey my job is a sales analyst its in my nature, lol

Flava-I tried the whole checking the PH thing and it just drove me absolutely insane so I am done with that, I thought 6.5 was low but if you say its not then I will go with that :)

LolaInLove-we will see how my EWCM is with the green tea and fish oil this time, I usually don't get a lot

[Plum3]

Welcome to my world! Ugh, I sometimes don't think FF knows everything. It is just a computer program... you know your own body better!

That said, you know how badly I have been freaking out about MY chart and my attempt... I could tell you not to worry about it, but then I'd be a total hypocrite! Hopefully you are better at letting things go than I am. You still had a good attempt!!

ITA about FF not knowing it all. Just to experiment I sometimes change my temps by 0.1-0.2 of a degree and with just that little difference it changes my O date. Seems really silly.

And if FF is right for me this month then I was only 8dpo when I got a bfp, not 9dpo like I actually think.

[Plum3]

Haha..that's funny b/c I actually have a yamaha piano :) It's my initials+mama :) We dtd on cd14,16 & 17 so hoping we caught the egg! I first thought I o'd on cd14 since i had the spike in temp on cd15, but it went back down again, so we dtd again, then I had a darker opk on cd17 and tons of O pain, so we dtd again (30 hrs. after dtd on cd16) so I hope it didn't affect sperm count doing it 2 days in a row. THat's the only thing i'm worried about...

Nope, DTD 2 days in a row won't affect sperm count as long as the attempts were 24 hours apart.

[Plum3]

Your sway sounds great. That timing is good, but as we all know it doesn't always work out like that. You could always just try DTD every second day if you are comfortable with that, and that way you are guaranteed to get at least two attempts in the window.

Not sure if someone has mentioned it but Atomic doesn't recommend whey protein when swaying for a boy. It contains ingredients that may have an impact on fertility. My DH is a whey protein junkie and is dying to get back on it!

[Plum3]

Thankyou for all the congrats ladies! Makes me happy to be able to share the news with someone other than DH :)

Lola, this is month 4. But only month 3 of medication.

I am still cautious that it could be a chemical again but the lines are darker again today so I am hopeful. I am going to call my doctor tomorrow to arrange a blood test. I don't want him to think I'm a crazy lady for testing so early!

[Kris217]

Congrats Bec, when will you be testing again? We would love to see that BFP! :)

[Kris217]

I found out today my bub will be born on the 9th of March, C-section is all booked and ready to go. My placenta is still pretty low and that is why I'm having her a little earlier than expected.

[Plum3]

The first one is from 8/9dpo and the other two are from FMU today 10/11dpo.

[Plum3]

Thanks Kris :)

Yay, that's great that you have a date. How exciting!

[Kris217]

Wow, those are strong lines for so early! I had nothing at 9dpo then faint at 11 so that's great!

[soni]

Congrats Bec - love seeing your BFPs!

MFC Fx for your gender scan.

Yeah FF can be a little off I guess. I had 2 high temps and then a lower one the day after I got a +ve OPK. The lower one could be a fluke. The temps after that rose again but FF refused to give me crosshairs till I took off that low temp. I am a light sleeper and get up often during the night so I don't know if I should trust my temps.

6dpo - BD on O-1 and O or O-2 and O-1. The attempts were 30 hours apart.

[TTC5]

Bec Congrats again your so pregnant!!!

[TTC5]

I found out today my bub will be born on the 9th of March, C-section is all booked and ready to go. My placenta is still pretty low and that is why I'm having her a little earlier than expected.

I was just thinking anyone know where is "lightofmylife" ? I didn't see her post for a long time. She was going to ttc this year?

Have not seen her roundf for a while either?!!

[My Fabulous Children]

Massive congrats Bec...I so hope I can join you soon!!

MFC - I hope you see little boy parts!! Fingers crossed for you.

Still here waiting till it's time to test. Keep getting all these symptoms that you only notice when TTC but probably exist all the time. Trying hard to convince myself that testing on 5DPO is a waste of time lol

Thank you, GL on testing soon xx

[My Fabulous Children]

Bec CONGRATS GIRL!!!!!

MFC you will hear boy ;)

Thanks TTC5! I wish and hope and pray for another son, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up :(

Bec, don't start worrying about that before you need to! Everything is hopefully going to be just fine! A line getting darker means your hcg is increasing (which you know) so that is an excellent sign!

[LolaInLove]

Ok thanks I will check into it, does it sway girl, or is it that it affects overall fertility?

If I remember correctly, it's because it's like "fake" protein and not the real deal, but I may be way off about that. I think protein alternatives are not considered that great for fertility in general, but I will tell you that I drank a whey protein shake (and so did my ex-DH) every day when both of our girls were conceived!

[Yahmama]

4dpo and woke up feeling kinda crampy. Hoping that's a good sign! It's SO hard not to "symptom" obsess! Also, I swear I've been feeling twinges of achiness in my bbs--probably all in my mind, but I can keep my hopes up!

Like Lola said, the 'fake' protein isn't as good as protein from other sources. But whey protein also contains a heap of other ingredients and it's those ingredients that aren't good for you. I think it indirectly sways pink by potentially reducing fertility. It may not be that bad but I didn't want to take the chance. I'll see if I can find the info for you.

[Plum3]

dloui, I couldn't find what I was looking for but I found a few random things that Atomic said....

I LOVE Larabars (all the flavors are great, they really literally have only 3 or 4 ingredients and they are all natural) but some of the Odwalla bars are also good. (NOT the "original super protein" ones, but Blueberry, Chocowalla, Strawberry/pomegranate, ChocChip Peanut Butter, and Superfood are all ok.) The ones you have to watch for are the ones that are superhigh in protein, because they usually get their protein from whey proteins or soy proteins (avoid anything that lists "Isolated soy protein" as an ingredient - other sources of soy like soy lecithin, soy nuts, and soy butter are ok because they are less processed and only present in small amounts.) Soy and whey proteins are highly processed and artificial, and your body doesn't quite know what to do with them. Better to have 6 g real protein in a Larabar than 14 g phony protein in an "Original Super Protein" bar.

I think it's best to avoid the protein shakes/powder because they're kinda artificial and it's not certain how much of that protein your body even utilizes. Some people think that soy/whey proteins may even be bad for fertility.

Thank you for the info! I normally do the protein shake as soon as I walk out of the gym after my workout, I definitely don't do the shakes as a meal. I will have to see if I can do something else

Actually can I be greedy and have two? DH and I have been joking that if we have a boy we would probably have another baby to see if he could get him a brother. And if it's a girl then we might have another one to try for a boy again. Win, win really :)

I'm a bit excited that there could be more than one because I had three follies!

It worked, My DS is getting a brother!! Tech said it's 100% a boy. The baby wasn't in a very good position, but I did see his wee wee a couple of times. The tech looked a few different times to make sure it's a boy. She even told me I could go shopping and It's not going to change. It's so HARD for me to believe it. I will post the pics in a little bit.

Sorry to be such a downer but I was just driving to work thinking about MFC and how thrilled she sounds (I am so happy for you hon). I realised I have NEVER been thrilled like that over a baby gender. I wanted my first to be a boy, when she announced it was a girl I had a fleeting moment of disappointment then thought "I will have a boy next". Yeah right!! I would of been happy having 5 girls if I had had that first boy...the older brother.

I love my girls and am now happy to be honest that I have 5 girls...but OMG how I long to just experience that excitment to be getting EXACTLY what I wanted. I just have this deep down feeling that I won't be the one who gets a boy after 5 girls....I will be the one who has girl#6.

Sorry that you are feeling like this PoP. I think alot of us feel that we won't be 'lucky' enough to have a boy after having just girls. But we just have to think positively. There is always hope that we will have boys and we can't lose sight of that :)

When are you testing?

[Cinss]

Yeah PoP, try not to get down on yourself. You can definatly have a boy after 5 girls, actually the odds of that happening are extreemly high!

[My Fabulous Children]

Thank you all so much :)

I hope from the bottom of my heart that everyone here is getting their gender dreams to come true.

After 2 girls, My DH and I have now successfully swayed twice and got 2 boys!! I'm so happy to be giving my DS a little brother.

The most important thing was praying and praying, I pray alot and continuing to pray for a healthy baby and pregnancy!

I skipped many cycles just trying to do my best to get everything right, that was hard for me to wait and do it all over again.. I waited more than one year!!! I had a m/c then started ttc. Really it wasn't easy.

So ladies give it your all each month ..So well worth it for peace of mind knowing you did everything that you could do. I will post my sway later.

[girlmom]

don't give up P.O.P. i had 7 girls in a row before i got a boy this time. it will happen sooner or later you just have to decide how many girls you are willing to go through.

[Princess of Pink]

don't give up P.O.P. i had 7 girls in a row before i got a boy this time. it will happen sooner or later you just have to decide how many girls you are willing to go through.

I know what you mean hon...but I haven't just had 5 girls...I lost a baby after #1 (gender unknown)...then lost twins after #2 (gender unknown), then another baby after #4, then 2 more after #5....for all I know they could all have been girls too!!

[girlmom]

we lost 3 i didn't know the genders of. for all i know they could have been girls too. i honestly thought my husband couldn't make boys. as soon as i stopped stressing out and swaying i got pregnant with a boy. maybe it was all the stress? however i read somewhere that male embryos are more fragile then the females so even though you are more likly to get pregnant with a boy (52%) most times a miscarriage occurs its probably a boy. its natures way of making it a more even male to female ratio. so maybe we did have boys? good luck, your chances for a boy are super high now when you do get pregnant again! keep trying

[Cinss]

Wow PoP, pregnant 10 times, i didn't know that :sad:

Why is it so hard to believe ? You already had a successful sway before so you had a good chance!

This sway was less than my DS sway, that's why I was so scared ..With my DS I drank lot of nasty drinks like ACV, etc. This time I was sick of them I dropped some of them. My pH was a little low, I had no EWCM, no matter how much I tried to have some, but nothing worked. I used EW's anyways. I really think it helped me.

I did the same diet as I did with my DS (IG diet) I concentrate on alkaline and potassium food AND I also did the HE diet.

[My Fabulous Children]

YEAH!!! I am in tears of joy for you over here! I know how special it is for your DS to get a brother...I hope I can say the same one day :) Congrats again!!!

I love my girls and am now happy to be honest that I have 5 girls...but OMG how I long to just experience that excitment to be getting EXACTLY what I wanted. I just have this deep down feeling that I won't be the one who gets a boy after 5 girls....I will be the one who has girl#6.

POP, After many girls I think it's very normal to feel that way, but don't be sad try to think positive. You're swaying now so hopefully you will get your son this time.

((Hugs)) :hugs:

Thanks hon...but I swayed with my last 4 children, getting more in-depth with each one. I have been on the gender swaying boards for 11years now. I hope this one is the magic sway that I need.

mfc - congrats again hun!!

Flava - you've got as good a chance as anyone to get your boy, hell it took till my 6th pregnancy and two losses to get mine. Don't lose hope :kiss:

I'm only catching up to this page so ladies what did I miss, what do I need to know? Who's about to attempt, who's in the 2ww? Catch me up :)

[Flava]

Thanks Jen. I can hope but hope will not give me a boy. My 6th pregnancy is DD3...

[3Pink1Blue]

You never know how many pregnancies it'll take, sway your ass off and hope for the best :)

[Flava]

I sure do thanks :-) If we don't get a boy now then I will never know how many would it take because this is our last. We are already over the limit and old too. So that's it for us.

I'm in the 2WW at 6dpo...thinking positive as I've got a lot of cm and crampiness...probably going to test next Tues. or Wed.
Congrats again on precious little Charlie! How's everything going?

[Princess of Pink]

Yeah this will be my last too flava, we can't physically have more than 6 children. I am starting to believe I either can't keep boy pregnancies and all my losses were boys...or I just can't make em. My last 2 children were conceived on full moon's in the Leo sign, with preseed and BS finger, after 6 months of supps, massive amounts of my own EWCM due to sups, one was doggy style the other was legs over shoulders, both timed on day of ovulation and I had been charting for 6 months, I had been on a boy diet from another site for 6 months....the baby I lost between them had a similar sway too. I fell pregnant with all 3 first attempt. I have fallen pregnant with all 10 pregnancies on the first attempt and the only ones I haven't swayed with were DD#1 and my last 2 losses. I had honestly given up hope that swaying works, I have seen too many perfect sways by myself and others fail...and other people get a fluke without doing anything different. Then I came here and saw something different and how can you not hope maybe this is the trick!!

[LolaInLove]

Who knows if it really works....I think it all depends on whether or not you are willing (and able) to keep swaying and having hope about it.

And ya know what, there are SO many mamas with 3 of a kind or more having their 4th and their desired gender right now on this site....no reason to think you can't also!

[Flava]

Then I came here and saw something different and how can you not hope maybe this is the trick!!
Exactly the same what I was thinking. This HE diet make so much sense and it's different for the IG diet. So now we try and hope. I really don't think there is anything else out there what we can try. On HT but we do not have money for that.
Same options for me about the lost pregnancy's too. 1 -they where all girl or 2 -I lost all the boys .
Actually I hate hoping .I wish I can stop it because i really don't want to hope anymore after this last baby.

[3Pink1Blue]

Yahmama - fx for a bfp!! Everything's great, he's an awesome sleeper and a great eater. We are totally in love.

Flava- this was our last shot too, fx you get blue. As you know I'm a huge fan of the HE diet, I know it's a huge part of getting me Charlie.

Lola - as always I love your support and optimism :kiss:

[Plum3]

I'm too scared to find out!!!!! :S

Do you get a video at your NT scan? Sure to get some good nub shots in that!

[Plum3]

Jen, Charlie sounds like a perfect little baby :)

I got a bfp at 8/9dpo. Having my first beta this morning, yay!

[Princess of Pink]

Fingers crossed you get a nice high beta Bec!!
