TTC a BOY March Chit Chat Thread!

[Princess of Pink]

Thought I would start a new thread as it is March today on my side of the world....good luck ladies!!

[Cinss]

Hey PoP is the lucky thread starter !!! Goodluck this month PoP, and everyone else trying this month !!!

AF is finally GONE :bigsmile: Now the count down to O is on. I am really hoping and praying that i just have a normal cycle this time. My last 2 have not produced an egg :sad: Please give me some luck and hopefully we have many many more BFPs to see :bluecheer:

[My Fabulous Children]

Good Luck to all you lovely ladies hope you all get your BFPs this month!

Cinss- I so hope you get your BFP hon. Fingers crossed for you. March is a lucky month and you all deserve it :)

[Princess of Pink]

Hope you catch the egg this cycle Cinss!!

[Plum3]

Good luck to everyone this month! :D

[Kris217]

Yeah good luck ladies, I think we're due for another BFP!! :)

[Foxy]

Good luck ladies!!! :bluesperm::bluecheer:

[Kris217]

Yikes, found out today that I'll probably need to be admitted into the hospital on Tuesday when I get the first steroid injection. Apparently it can mess with my diabetes and I'll need to be monitored until Friday when I have the c-section.
9 days in hospital isn't what I wanted to hear! Oh well, it's all for the baby's benefit so I can handle it.

[b3blue]

Oh my that's a long time in the hospital Kris! I'm glad they're being proactive and monitoring you. I hope you have a wonderful delivery!

Good luck to everyone trying this month! I've got to find something to occupy my time while I wait this cycle out.

I asked in the last thread, but I'll post here too. I'm pretty sure I feel AF about to start but I wonder if either Bee Pollen, Royal Jelly or RRL can extend your lp? My o date is uncertain this month (flat temps after pos opk) but if it's right then I gained another day in my lp.

[bubbaboo]

Good luck everyone trying this month.....just think there may be alot of little Christmas babies if it works this month.
Sending you all baby dust.........Cheering for you all.:cheerteam:

[dloui128]

Good luck ladies

Cinss-hope your cycle doesn't screw with you this time, good luck :)

[OnlyPraying]

:)GL everyone! Hope you all get preggo with healthy blue beans by April! Dont forget to pray!

:bluecheer::bluecheer::bluecheer::bluecheer::bluec heer::cheerteam::cheerteam::cheerteam::cheerteam:: cheerteam:

PS: dont forget to post those BFP pics! I love to see them! :nyd:

[Hobbermittens]

Good luck ladies!! I hope to see a lot of BFPs this month!!:luck:

Wow Kris, that is a long stay... but you can catch up on your sleep before the baby comes! :)

[Flava]

Hey ladies thanks for all the good luck ! I also say Good luck to everyone this month ! Hopefully we all get a blue bfp!

Cinss- you poor love I really wish you get a great egg this cycle!!!

3- I don't know about RJ and LP Im taking B6 for that.

[Flava]

kris- that's a long stay but at least they care about you. Hopefully you will have lot's of time to post lot's of pics!!!

[Cinss]

Kris bummer about having to stay in hospital for that long. Will you have your own room? At least you will be getting all your meals delivered to your bed, i thought that was pretty good when i was in hospital when DD was born, but it can get quite boring hey. Do you have a good book to take with you?

b3blue i don't know about those supps effecting LP. Everyone is different too, so it may or may not effect you, i guess you just have to chart for a while to know for sure.

AFM - temps are back in the low range after AF, yippee :)

[bubbaboo]

Sorry forgot to say sending you all blue baby dust......DOH.....forget my head if it wasn't screwed on...!


Rest up Kris while you can.....enjoy those cooked meals and quiet time - try not to worry. The big date will be here before you know it.

[TTC5]

Hi all I am 10 weeks today :)

[Hobbermittens]

I am right behind you at 9 weeks, TTC5! Are you excited about your upcoming scan?

[TTC5]

Very!!!

[skrimpy]

Yay for March! Today is my birthday :D

I hope all you ladies who are swaying this month get blue BFP's!

I'm so excited we have so many preggies :)

[dloui128]

Happy birthday :)

[Kris217]

Wow Kris, that is a long stay... but you can catch up on your sleep before the baby comes! :)

I wish that was the case but the hospital beds hurt my body, I have Scoliosis and need my soft bed to be comfortable. I stayed there 1 night a few weeks ago and woke up sore all over! Oh well, can't do much about it I guess!

[Kris217]

Yeah that's true, will probably be the first and last time I'll have breakfast in bed for a while lol. I'm not sure if I will have my own room. I have selected that on my paperwork but it all depends if there is a room free. If not I will share with 1 other woman. After the c-section I will have my own room though. Guess I should go out and buy a book or something, I did buy internet access so at least I can get online if I'm that bored.

[Kris217]

Happy birthday Skrimpy!! :)

[Yahmama]

Yay for March! Today is my birthday :D

I hope all you ladies who are swaying this month get blue BFP's!

Hey ladies, I'll try to catch up tomorrow. Today is DD1's b-day so between that and this whole newborn thing I've been distracted lol

Happy Birthday Skrimpy!

[My Fabulous Children]

Happy Birthday Skrimpy!

3p1b` Happy Birthday to your DD1, Hope she had a great day.

[My Fabulous Children]

Bec` When is your scan?

TTC5` Yay for 10 weeks! How are you?

[TTC5]

Bec` When is your scan?

TTC5` Yay for 10 weeks! How are you?

Good thanks!

[TTC5]

Happy Birthday Skrimpy!!!

[TTC5]

FX for everyone trying this month!!!!

[Princess of Pink]

Happy Birthday Skrimpy!! Yay for reaching 10 weeks 5...only 30 to go, you are 1/4 done!!

I am dying waiting for O...I will make first attempt on Sunday night (2 more sleeps), then Monday night and Tuesday night. I hope thats not too frequent?? I just really don't want to miss is this month! I really feel like I missed O last cycle. I am pretty sure that test that everyone said wasn't positive yet (on Monday) actually was and I O'ed on Tuesday and not Wed...meaning DH coming home was 1 day too late. FF has adjusted my O day to tuesday and I think it's right based on when AF showed up. Not to mention that I had hardly any of my own EWCM wed and relied on preseed.

Good luck everyone!!

[Plum3]

Happy Birthday Skrimpy!

And Happy Birthday to your daughter, Jen :)

[Plum3]

Bec` When is your scan?

TTC5` Yay for 10 weeks! How are you?

I have my first scan in 5 days!

[Flava]

skrimpy -happy birthday!!
also happy birthday to Jen's DD1 !!
Funny it was also my bothers BD.

kris-you see at least internet is free in the hospital here lol Can't wait for that baby!

[Flava]

PP- your plan is great! I also did the same 3 attempt before O. It means more spermie up there.All good don't worry.:agree:

[Foxy]

Happy Birthday Skrimpy!!! xx

lol Oh wow you get free internet, better than nothing I suppose! Our hospital doesn't even have it, let alone for free.

[Princess of Pink]

For the past 2 years, since my last pregnancy loss my body has been kind of backwards and I get PMS when I am ovulating rather than before my period. Does anyone else ever get this? Makes it hard to get pregnant if you get sad, teary and argue as lot when TTC...lol

[Flava]

PP- I don't have that but I also never really had PMS ( or just very mild) till recently and it sucks ! OMG like 2 months ago I was like everything is so bad hopeless ect. I don't care and all. A BFP would be nice so i don't have to deal with it lol.

Ok so this lace is so quiet everyone is on vacation or what??

[Princess of Pink]

I had never had it before either Flava! And of course I go and get it at the wrong time of the cycle!!!

[Cinss]

PoP, well that sucks, i know what you mean, i used to get PMS bad the week before AF, but now i am on EPO it seems to be less intense. Our poor OH's cop it hey... Just keep your goal in mind, and try try try not to let PMS take you down.

[Cinss]

Ok so this lace is so quiet everyone is on vacation or what??

Yes, been very quiet around here lately.... Have you had your attempt this month Flava? I am about 10 days pre O, so just playing the waiting game.

[Flava]

Cinss-yes I did Im in the 2ww but don't have much hope for a bfp because my temps are so low FF didn't even gave me a O date because of it. But I think I O'd so now I wait:worry:

[Cinss]

Flava, i have my fingers crossed for you then, are you still temping and DTD? Maybe O is still coming?

[Flava]

Im temping but no more BD Im sure I O'd very late cd15 or early cd16 but my temps are funny so FF did not give me a line. Well it's just a program so I hope I know better...

[Cinss]

Flava - that is true :)

[TTC5]

I'm here lol! I have gone back to work today :)

[Cinss]

I'm here lol! I have gone back to work today :)

Hi 5, that must be a nice change from bed rest?

[Kris217]

Yeah her bed rest finishes and mine starts! Have my first steroid injection tomorrow and have to be admitted! I was hoping that wasn't the case but my Ob just called and said I need to be monitored for 24 hours after each shot. She thinks I will be let out Thursday but I have to go back Friday for my c-section anyway!

[Flava]

hey 5 how do you feel?

kris-good luck to you! Going home for 1 day ?lol But maybe it is nice to have a break and sleep home .

[Kiara]

Hi! How are you all doing? Already March! I got my period 10 days earlier my last cycle and now it is time for O again. Im not sure if it has already been though. The tests says no, but the body shows a lot of signs. So Im not even sure if i am ovulating this month. But i sure hope so. Im still breastfeeding so i think that could mess upp the cycle a little bit. Has it ever happened to any of you that the opk test showed negative but you still ovulated?

[Princess of Pink]

Got my first attempt in last night...expect the opk to go pos today so will do another tonight and maybe tomorrow night too. Swaying really takes the fun out of it doesn't it lol

[dloui128]

Got my first attempt in last night...expect the opk to go pos today so will do another tonight and maybe tomorrow night too. Swaying really takes the fun out of it doesn't it lol

it sure does

[Cinss]

Kris - goodluck today in hospital. Did you get yourself a book or anything?

Kiara - Just keep up the tests, sometimes it looks like we did O but then we actually O later. I have never personally had a - OPK and did O, but there is a possibility that you missed the + OPK. Got my fingers crossed for you.

PoP - Best of luck, i hope you catch that egg! I know what you mean about the fun... My DP now asks "Do you want me, or my seed?" haha.

[Hobbermittens]

Hi! Yes it is strange..I hope it get positive soon so I can stop being worried. It's just strange because the tests are stronger some day and more weak some other. It has never happened before. I just hope the BF won't make it impossible to get pregnant. My daughter is big now, 1,5 years but she still wants to bf during the nights and some times in the day.

[Cinss]

Kiara, you definatly can get pg while bf. And the lh surge can go in waves up until you get your +, i know it is so frustrating when trying to pinpoint O.

[Kiara]

Kiara, you definatly can get pg while bf. And the lh surge can go in waves up until you get your +, i know it is so frustrating when trying to pinpoint O.

That's good to hear!:-) But why the body shows a lot of symptoms of O when the tests say negative?

[Cinss]

That's good to hear!:-) But why the body shows a lot of symptoms of O when the tests say negative?

You may have missed the + test, or you may not actually O, or O is still about to come.

[TTC5]

I fell pregnant while breastfeeding dd3 :)

The countdown begins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TTC5]

hey 5 how do you feel?

kris-good luck to you! Going home for 1 day ?lol But maybe it is nice to have a break and sleep home .

Good thankyou!!! Very tired today after work though but you get that haha!!

How long till you test Flava?

[iluvmyman]

Yikes, found out today that I'll probably need to be admitted into the hospital on Tuesday when I get the first steroid injection. Apparently it can mess with my diabetes and I'll need to be monitored until Friday when I have the c-section.
9 days in hospital isn't what I wanted to hear! Oh well, it's all for the baby's benefit so I can handle it.

I just pm'd you girl!! Good luck with everything!!!!!

Are you getting steroids for your heart?

[Flava]

Kiara-hope you catch that O!!

cinss-my DH is the same so funny. After he read my personal plan he was like I don't understand this what is DTD and BD and so on...so I told him and now he only talks like that . He says when we gonna DTD ot it is time to BD??
But just like that the first letters :rofl:

[Flava]

5- I have no idea when I test I don't even have tests. Don't know if you read about my problems this month is sooo different. FF didn't even gave me a O day because my temps are so low. I was sure I O'd but I don't know...I wait.
You can imagine Im so sad. I mostly cry about it in the baby blue club...:(

[Kiara]

You may have missed the + test, or you may not actually O, or O is still about to come.

Yes, im starting to think it is about to come (hoping)
Thanks Flava! The same to you!
TTC5 hope I can do it too:-D

[Princess of Pink]

Put in another attempt last night...using FMU got a + opk today...I am pretty sure it was + yesterday too...gonna use FMU from now on!! Might try again tonight just to be safe. I hope I catch the egg...this TTC is no fun!!

[Cinss]

PoP i am not completely sure why they say not to use FMU, someone else may be able to clear that up? Definatly do 2 or 3 tests per day so you don't miss it. I have a really good feeling for you this month :) I am about 8 days behind you, so will commence stalking now lol.

[TTC5]

FX for you POP!

[Kris217]

Hi girls, everything is going ok....steroids are making my blood sugar levels go higher than usual but so far my highest is 9.1 about an hour ago. If it goes about 10 I need insulin or an IV to bring it back down. I guess I'll see after dinner how it goes, the effects don't usually kick in for hours later. The 1st one hurt a lot! Made my face and chest all red and hot so I look like a tomato today lol. Oh well, as long as bubs lungs get the effect it's all worth it. I bought internet with me so I'm not too bored, plus the midwife gave me some stuff to read and suggested I express some colostrum to store in the fridge. I tried that today and got .3 of a ml. Not a lot but it was my first go so I will try again after a warm shower. If I can get enough of it bub won't need formula so I'm hoping it keeps on comin!
I should be going home tomorrow, will be nice to get some rest in my own bed before coming back Friday for the birth.
I'll probably be too excited/nervous to sleep though! Only 2 more days, all these babies in here are making me clucky and really wanting to meet our bub :)

[Princess of Pink]

I never get an OPK where the test line is equally as dark or darker. Yet I am 100% sure I O every month. It's bloody confusing to be honest!! I would class my opk as + on Monday at 10am....was negative Monday night (I think I drank way too much and watered it down too much), then + again this morning....but negative now. Cervix was soft high and open this morning but now at 3pm is low and firm again...CM is creamy now too. By looking at my chart I would say I will get the big temp rise tomorrow morning.

But to be honest some people wouldn't class my tests as positive...maybe I have less LH than the average person maybe? But the whole rest of the month they are stark white or a line only a POAS addict would ever notice! So I think I either O'ed last night (TUE) or this morning (WED) which seems identical to last month. Which was why I missed O when DH didn't get home until Wed during the day. Fingers crossed I actually have a chance this month!!

[Cinss]

PoP what kind of tests are you using? It is a shame that you have never seen the second line darker than the control line, that is really great when you see it, it's like All systems GO. I was asking the same questions about OPKs last month because i didn't get a +, but everyone assured me that you can't dilute LH with water or ural or anything.

[Princess of Pink]

I have played with them for about 6 months now and I am yet to see it that dark, I don't believe I haven't ovulated in that time. Back when TTC#5 I also never saw it get as dark or darker...

A friend at work is ttc and has used my op.'s and she gets a dark + but I never seem to???

Mine get this dark max..

http://genderdreaming.com/forum/trying-conceive-boy/7836-ttc-boy-feb-2012-chit-chat-thread-15.html#post141668

[Flava]

POP-I never had problem with using fmu it only gave me a + when it was time for it not before or after. My opk strips looked like yours never dark enough so I only use the smiley test now.

[Flava]

kris-sorry about the shots...why would the midwife tell you to express milk before birth? It can start labor right? I never heard of this.

[Flava]

For me it feels like AF is here any minute .I even run to the bathroom to check it! it is early for it but you never know...I think it's a BFN for sure.:(

[Hobbermittens]

PoP i am not completely sure why they say not to use FMU, someone else may be able to clear that up? Definatly do 2 or 3 tests per day so you don't miss it. I have a really good feeling for you this month :) I am about 8 days behind you, so will commence stalking now lol.

LH (the hormone the opk tests for) is more concentrated in urine later in the day. They say to test between 12pm and 10pm for best results. However, I have gotten +opks with FMU and early morning (2nd MU) pee.

[Princess of Pink]

I have my fingers crossed for you flava....stay away AF!!!

[Cinss]

PoP maybe you just have a really quick relese of LH then and unless you are testing multipul times you may miss it? In those pics you can see when it is close so i wouldn't worry if you don't get a super dark 2nd line. How are your temps this morning?

[Flava]

I have my fingers crossed for you flava....stay away AF!!!
Thanks. I have very bad mood today maybe it's PMS . Also feel like I can't keep up the eating anymore so sick of it.Feels like I can't do it anymore.I don't know...maybe DH is right we are fine like this really we don't need more kids.
Just the taught of going on for a next try makes me sick...

[3Pink1Blue]

Kris - ahhhh, this is so exciting! Can't wait to see baby pics on Friday!

Flava - fx the red bitch stays away!! Are you going to test or wait till you're late?

FX for everyone this month!!

[LolaInLove]

Hi everyone! Kris, so excited for you! I bet you went nuts in that ward with all the babies in there. Hope all goes perfectly!!!

Good luck everyone......I'm not Irish, but wishing you all the luck o' the irish for bfps! :luck::luck::luck:

[Princess of Pink]

Good luck tomorrow Kris!!

Flava I totally hear you with not being able to keep this eating up....I want to go on a diet!! I also HATE charting!!!

After everything this week....I am pretty sure I O'ed today...2 days late....My OPK's have been weird and I think my body tried to O on Tuesday....but succeeded today Thursday. I wasn't getting a true +....but my temp plummeted this morning and I got a + with FMU and at 10am. I had cramps mid morning and late this arvo along with HSO cervix and EWCM.

It really messes with your head!!! I want a baby already....with working full-time and 5 kids to look after mostly on my own with DH away for work a lot....I don't have time to keep doing this much longer!!

[Kris217]

kris-sorry about the shots...why would the midwife tell you to express milk before birth? It can start labor right? I never heard of this.

I've read that too but so far it hasn't caused labour for me. Got a few little syringes of colostrum for bub, will be good if she's in the special care nursery and I can't breastfeed her, and it will mean no formula hopefully.

[Kris217]

Thanks for all the well wishes and sweet comments, I will definitely post a pic or 2 and let you know how it all goes!
Gotta be there at 11:30 am in the morning and the c-section is at 1:30pm!

[Hobbermittens]

Good luck Kris! Hope all goes well!! How exciting that your baby will be here soon!

[Flava]

kris- good luck love! Why do you think baby have to go to the special care nursery? Hopefully not! OMG it's so different being pregnant and actually holding the baby you will love it so much! And don't forget to smell her head all the time! Nothing like a newborn smell!! And it only last for a couple days.Wish i have that smell forever!

[Kiara]

I never get an OPK where the test line is equally as dark or darker. Yet I am 100% sure I O every month. It's bloody confusing to be honest!!

Fingers crossed I actually have a chance this month!!

Hi! I have heard that some women never get a positive test even though they do ovulate. I've also heard that for some women its enough to change the testing time of the day. I usually get positive but this month it has been all weird. Still hoping though;-)

[Cinss]

Thinking of you today Kris !!!

I give up!! My cycle is usually like clockwork. I get AF every 4 weeks on the same day and have for 2 years....a saturday morning. Then the cycle before last I O'ed on a wed and therefore got AF on a wed...but the next cycle was perfect again and I got my AF 4 weeks later on a wed. I have no damn clue what has been going on?? I thought I had a + opk on tue, wed....but then it got slightly darker (the darkest I have seen yet) on thursday! Cervix was HSO and I had heaps of EWCM, cramps, etc...then I woke this am to the darkest opk i have EVER gotten...still as dark at 9am after only an hour hold...crampy as today. So snuck in another attempt this morning.

Maybe my body tried to O earlier in the week....but is Oing today/tomorrow?? I have NEVER EVER had the test line darker than the control...it is normally a shade lighter and thats as dark as it gets. Today it's darker and shows instantly...no waiting!

[TTC5]

Kris congratulations to you and Sarah Kennedy is just beautiful!!!!

[Flava]

ELP- I sure hope it comes true! Did another test this morning and it's darker but I have a little spotting , im so scared.

[ELP]

What color spotting, hopefully pink or brown?? I have my fingers tightly crossed that its just a little implantation bleed, and that little egg is just getting super comfortable in there:)

[Flava]

It's light like pinkish brownish I guess. I hope it's not gonna be darker and it goes away!really hope it's IP only
I try to rest but DH is at work and all my kids are home.yeahhh:suprise:

[ELP]

I've had the pinkinsh brown with previous successful pregnancies! This ones a sticker for you, I know it is:), bring on the nausea lol!!!

[Flava]

What?? No nausea this time plz!!!!!!!!!! It was so bad with DD4 and lasted forever! No way ! I still feel a little but goes away when i eat so i hope that's it lol

[Hobbermittens]

FLava, hope that is just implantation spotting! Stick little bean!

[Foxy]

I got a BFP ladies hope it's a sticky on this time.

[Flava]

I knew it!!! :D Congratulations my dear!!! Sending you lots of blue dust!!! :pregnant:

Thanks foxy! I sure need lot's of blue dust!

[Cinss]

Hang in there PoP, i know how frustrating it is, it is good that you saw that dark line though, go for gold!

Flava - it is not uncommon for there to be a little bleed right when your period would have been due while you are pg. I am crossing my fingers for your sticky bean. Good idea to take it easy for a couple of days if you can.

dloui sorry for you bfn, your still in the game though, and i think the cooling on the jewels is supposed to be done just before dtd.

Today i have a little ewcm... not long now till i O, i hope and hope and hope that i do O this time. I have been really slack with the HE diet for the past week :( i really hope i haven't ruiened my sway, but the past few months have taken a toll on me mentally and when i feel down i don't eat, i have actually lost a little bit of weight.

[Flava]

Cinss-thanks! Only I have more spotting today and a little darker...I hope it stops!

I really hope you O! Try to eat very good now do the HE diet ! Especially around O ! That's what I did ! I was good on the diet but extra good around O on O and some days after O.

[Cinss]

Oh Flava, i am praying for your bleeding to stop too!

[Cinss]

I got a +opk this morning yipee :bluecheer:

[dloui128]

What is the concept behind having the Big O a bunch of times before ovulating? Is it because it increases testosterone and cervical mucus?

[dloui128]

I got a +opk this morning yipee :bluecheer:

YAY!! bow chicka wow wow time

[TTC5]

Hi ladies my laptop is out of action ATM and I hate posting from my phone lol.

[TTC5]

Oh and my 12 week scan is in 4 days!!!!

[Cinss]

What is the concept behind having the Big O a bunch of times before ovulating? Is it because it increases testosterone and cervical mucus?

Yes and yes



YAY!! bow chicka wow wow time

haha yep, i think im just going to go for gold for the next 3 days.

[Flava]

What is the concept behind having the Big O a bunch of times before ovulating? Is it because it increases testosterone and cervical mucus?

Yes but I had O's with all my girls so who care? This time I did NOT had any O .Not because I plan it that way (was thinking about it but that's not the reason) It's just who on earth can have O in caveman style??? Not me for sure.

[Flava]

Cinss-good luck!

5-I can't wait for cute pics!

Im so happy no spots today!!!! Hope it wont come back!

[Princess of Pink]

Yay Flava thats great news....stay away spots!!

Good luck Cinss....I hope you catch that egg this month!!

[Foxy]

Oh and my 12 week scan is in 4 days!!!!Remember to get a nub shot, girl! :bluecheer:

[Foxy]

Ciness - Good luck!!! :bluesperm:

Flava - yay for no more spotting!

[Hobbermittens]

Yes but I had O's with all my girls so who care? This time I did NOT had any O .Not because I plan it that way (was thinking about it but that's not the reason) It's just who on earth can have O in caveman style??? Not me for sure.

That's what a vibrator is for! :wink:

[Cinss]

My temp went slightly up this morning, so i think yesterday was definatly O day, opk has gone back to - this morning too. We dtd last night and the morning before, so i have my fingers crossed we made it happen.

[3Pink1Blue]

dloui & Cinss - frequent O also raises pH :)

Flava - YAY for your bfp!!!! So glad the spotting has stopped, fx it's a healthy sticky one!

5 - can't wait for a peek at your little one!

Kris - Gorgeous baby, glad you are both doing well. Congrats!!!

[Princess of Pink]

That's what a vibrator is for! :wink:

I need new batteries after this months attempt :rofl:

[Flava]

That's what a vibrator is for! :wink:
I don't have one and no way I would use one and DH is sitting next to me lol

[Flava]

cinss- I love you ticker it just look so good!

[dloui128]

That's what a vibrator is for! :wink:

Guess I should stock up on batteries :)

Is it true that red wine is suppose to help with implantation?

[Flava]

I have no clue about the red wine help but i did drink it around O. Even docs are saying drink a little red wine is good for us!

[Cinss]

cinss- I love you ticker it just look so good!

Thank you, yours is cute too :)

[Flava]

Thank you, yours is cute too :)
Thanks! I just love the color together .

[dloui128]

I have no clue about the red wine help but i did drink it around O. Even docs are saying drink a little red wine is good for us!

Thanks
I haven't drank any alochol since I started TTC, but sometimes I could go for a nice cold beer, but I thought red wine would probably be better :)

Hi ladies, Hope you're all doing well :HH:

TTC5- Good luck with your u/s, I hope everything goes well. I can't wait to see some pics!

Cinss- Am so glad your finally ovulating, Hope your attempt went well.

Flava- Yay to no more spotting and hope it stays that way for you dear xxx


I have my 20 week ultrasound tomorrow!! I am SO excited and scared at the same time. I hope everything is okay and he is still all boy.

[Cinss]

Yay My Fab, more piccies :)

[TTC5]

2 days!!!! So nervous!!

[Flava]

dloui-this is what atomic told me in my personal plan (hope it's ok to post just this here?)

"It is best if DH gives up alcohol all together, but you may drink 1-2 glasses of wine a day until your attempt. Wine is a great source of antioxidants and potassium. If you like beer better, that’s fine too."

So Im sure you ok with 1 cold beer!

[Flava]

5-everything will be fine! we need pics!

[atomic sagebrush]

Guess I should stock up on batteries :)

Is it true that red wine is suppose to help with implantation?

1 glass or even 2 around implantation is ok but you need to stop drinking as soon as you get a BFP.

[LolaInLove]

Hey Kris, congrats on the beautiful daughter! She looks like an angel, just like her u/s pic in your profile! Hope you are all doing just amazing!

And congrats to you also, Flava!!!!! FX for a healthy little baby!

Looking forward to your u/s TTC5 and MFC!

3P1B, Charlie is a doll!!!! Hope he is being a good boy for you.

[Flava]

Thanks lola! Any news?

[LolaInLove]

Thanks lola! Any news?

Nope, we are not ttc anymore. I am working on the emotions of being baby-less....I have good and bad days. Trying to still be present here, but some days it is hard. Thanks for asking, though!

[Flava]

Im so sorry Lola! But you guys don't use protection right? So i still hope it will happen for you!FX forever

[LolaInLove]

No, we certainly aren't using any protection! This past month, we ended up dtd when I was super in the mood, which so happened to be on CD13 and CD14 (I was doing a little experiment and did not record it until later....I just marked my calendar to see if my horny days coincided with O). And my DH held it in for over a week (from what I know!), but we are not actively trying. I am not taking tests or anything, or assuming that I will get pregnant, just dtd when we feel like it. I am thinking of trying this hcg diet with the drops (not the shots) and getting this tire off my waist before summer. Thanks, though, Flava! I will try to keep up and answer questions here though. Lord knows I swayed both hard-core and laid-back for a couple of years and have tried many things so hopefully I will help someone!!! I am actually finding it easier to think about not ttc anymore with starting to think more about donor sperm as an option in a year or so. I have started that research process. It is something we can afford, and if we can get over the emotional part, I think something worth considering more. Heck, if you would adopt a baby in a heartbeat, why not use donor sperm?

[My Fabulous Children]

Hi ladies, I posted this in the Blue Crew Grads thread, but thought I'd post it here, too!

I had my 20 week ultrasound this afternoon. My baby boy is still a BOY and growing well, BUT right now I'm terrified. The Doctor told me that my placenta is a 'little low' I have to go back in 3 weeks for another scan and also I will get an MRI next week I have had 2 previous c-sections scars and Doctor said placenta can grow into it. I was told not to lift anything heavy and not have sex, it can cause bleeding. I am so scared, and freaking out about it.

Has any one else has had this problem? Please give me some infor.on it. How did you get on with this condition and what should I expect - is it bad?

Here's some pics of my sweet baby boy :babym: :awe:

[Hobbermittens]

Congrats on seeing the willy again MFC! He looks beautiful!

[3Pink1Blue]

Lola - thanks, he's got some sleep issues i.e. wants to be cuddled constantly but other then that we're loving him to bits. I like your attitude and still hope you get a surprise :)

MFC - Love that he's still a boy, I only got one peek at Charlie so I didn't believe till I saw the goods at delivery lol I'm sure everything will be fine, take care of yourself and try not to stress too much.

[Kris217]

Bubby enjoying her first bath at home :) she's going great and so am I, thanks for all the lovely comments!

Thanks Hobber and 3p1b!!

I am trying to take it easy and rest :)

[My Fabulous Children]

OMG Kris!!! Your little girl is so cute! look at her hair, so pretty :awe:

I'm so glad you're both doing great.

[Cinss]

Oh Kris what a little Angel, i love those toes !!!

[skrimpy]

Kris, congratulations, Kennedy is so beautiful!

Flava - congrats on your BFP hun!!! FX for a H&H 9 months for you <3

MFC - I have not had experience, but my cousin's placenta was a little low and when she went back for a repeat u/s it had migrated up a bit. She wanted to and was able to have a vaginal delivery with that babe and there were no complications.

[Princess of Pink]

Awwww....I want one!! How cute are newborn babies!! I want one with hair too...4 of my 5 have been bald.

[Flava]

Lola-if you realllllly want another baby I think you should use donor .Is there is no way to use IUI or something else with DH then he need to see what is better no baby or a baby with donor. Does he has a brother? Just asking because I know ppl ask brothers or sisters fro donor sperm and egg .I think that's so special.
What is this hcg drops ?

[Flava]

Kris- wow she is sleeping at bath time? My girls are screaming lol She is just so cute!

[Kris217]

First bath she screamed but she loves them now!

[dloui128]

Kris, your little girl is beautiful :)

[Foxy]

MFC - I'm glad everything is going well with your baby boy! He's a cutie!

Kris - She is so cute! I love that she is sleeping while taking a bath. What a doll!

[Foxy]

Lola - I think it's a healthy attitude that you have. Donor sperm sounds like a great idea if you can get your hubby on board. I used the HCG (injections) to loose weight. The diet stinks, lol! It's really hard on your body and your energy levels are almost 0. That being said you loose a ton of weight very quickly.

[auroara78]

Kris, your baby is soooo adorable! How awesome she loves the bath already!! So precious, and love the hair...i always have bald babies!

Lola, I think donor sperm would be a great option in the future. I think the experience of him raising a baby, of you two together with a baby would be an fantastic!

MFC, that sounds very scary...Eek! I've never had that issue before but I have had two C-sections....Taking it esay is prob. the best course of action, and it's good that you'll be mointored so they can keep tabs on it. I hope it rises the next time they see you, and I hope that everything goes well :) So happy to hear that he's been confirmed a boy again!

I'm not finding out what I'm having until 19 weeks (13 weeks now), but if I do end up with hearing "boy", will this group adopt me?

[Hobbermittens]

I am actually finding it easier to think about not ttc anymore with starting to think more about donor sperm as an option in a year or so. I have started that research process. It is something we can afford, and if we can get over the emotional part, I think something worth considering more. Heck, if you would adopt a baby in a heartbeat, why not use donor sperm?

Lola, your DH shouldn't mind the donor sperm if he is okay with adoption. AT least that way, he is still part of the baby's entire development process, and he can watch you get bigger and talk to your tummy, etc. I think that would be a great option for you two!! I hope he goes for it. I wish things were easier for you.... your siggy makes me sad. :( I don't think the low sperm count has "won"--I just think it is making you find a new path. And who knows--maybe a donor is going to be the easiest, best choice for you!

[Hobbermittens]

Kris, that baby girl is gorgeous! I love that she is sleeping through her bath! That's precious.

[3Pink1Blue]

Kris - Awe that pic is too sweet! Sounds like you are in heaven :)

auroara - of course we will adopt you! fx you hear pink :kiss:

[LolaInLove]

KRIS! What a little beautiful angel!!!!!!! She is simply gorgeous!

3P1B, I would be spoiling the heck out of a baby myself, so consider that Charlie just can't help being spoiled by all his mommies. He is darling, too!

Flava, like Foxy was saying, the HCG diet is one where you take HCG (like a synthetic form of the prego hormone) and eat a 500 calorie a day diet for like a month or so. You can lose 20-30lbs in a month. The hormone makes your body target your fat stores first, so you end up losing the hard-to-get-off fat really well, and it supposedly makes you not as hungry also. The diet does seem like hell, and I am not looking forward to it if I go through with it. Foxy, I may pm you about it and get your personal take!

Thanks, everyone, for all the kind words. You know, when life hands you lemons, you gotta just make vodka lemonade out of it, right? When you have a meager budget, it is hard to think about your options with infertility. There are so many what ifs also......what if we just kept trying? But also, what if my eggs run out while we do that? When I look at our life, I don't see anything but good stuff surrounding having a baby with DS. There are some emotional things that have to get settled in our hearts before we do that, like the obvious of my DH being ok with it as a man (although he raises my girls like his own and doesn't love them any less, of course, I want him to be 100% ok with it and feel like the baby is his)....then there is the issue of if we tell the kid about the DS some day, do we tell other people? Do we just go about life and act like he/she is our own bio child? Of course, we'd pick a donor who looked like DH so that is a possibility. I don't think we could use his brother's sperm.....that is just too weird for me. I want the donor to be completely anonymous, and for it to be closed so the kid never tries to "find" his bio father, kwim? Anyway, I know you all are swaying and pg and all that stuff, but I hope I provide a bit of perspective on this site.....be so so SO grateful for the beautiful babies you all have and are about to create. I would give anything for us to have a biological child that is both ours, boy or girl.

On a different note, MFC, your little man looks handsome already! Try not to freak out.....millions of women have placenta issues and thank goodness for modern medicine- it will get you through it. Do take care of yourself and know that your son will be just fine!

[LolaInLove]

Aurora, forgot to add also that we will adopt you anytime!!!!!!!

[Flava]

aurora-sure you can come here!
Lola-them maybe this HCG would not be for me because I don't loose weight when I BF.

[TTC5]

Healthy bubby standing on its head yayyy

[Son4meplz]

Kris your baby is a doll...that's the cutest pic I have seen of a baby taking bath.

Flava: congrats on BFP...hope it's your blue bean.

MFC: late to congratulate but you rock.....twice successful....that's awesome.:bowdown:

[Plum3]

Hey ladies, have been having pretty bad morning (all day!) sickness so have only been posting here and there. Trying to catch up on everything now :)

Lola, I hope that your DH will be all for the donor idea. I know someone who used donor sperm and they haven't told anyone (even parents) that they child isn't biologically the dad's. I guess it's a personal decision though, a very hard one to make.

[TTC5]

Pics in gender guess section xx

[dloui128]

Healthy bubby standing on its head yayyy

seen the pic of the baby, just wanted to say so cute and congratulations. I stink at looking at sonos but I am hoping its your little boy :)

[auroara78]

Thanks ladies for the adoption! :hugs:

Lola, your post made my eyes teary. Yes, I've taken it for granted, but what I'm really working on now is being grateful. When I go to my ultrasound, if I hear boy or girl, I want to feel at peace with it, and just be so happy that my babe is healthy and is going to be ours :)

TTC5, I posted it in the ultrasound board, but I def. think your baby looks boyish and is so cute!

PS: Being on this side of things reminds me of why blue is so special too! It helps keep everything in perspective!

[LolaInLove]

Thanks, Aurora and Bec- I don't want to make you guys sad! :kiss: I just don't want anyone to have GD ever, so I want to inspire you guys to be totally happy with your baby regardless of gender, ya know? And truthfully, I NEVER thought I'd be one of those infertile ones....I never really gave it a thought in my life, and just assumed that I would get pg in a heartbeat with my new DH. I was way overconfident in my ability to get pregnant and also super obsessed with making a boy. My perspective has changed a ton, so I hope I can help influence you all to not fret as much if you don't get your boy.

I am kinda afraid to start talking about the donor sperm thing with my DH, to be honest.....and by the way, so don't mean to hijack this thread with infertility talk!!!!!......but it is a big step, and there are a lot of things to mull over. Like you said about your friend, Bec, I think I would rather just never tell anyone, but I worry that is totally dishonest to the child. Would you be upset never knowing that the man you call your father isn't actually your biological father but you came from a frozen sperm pop? I might start a thread asking opinions. Anywho.....we'll see......a small part of me still hopes that we end up as one of those stories where it goes, "And we tried and tried, and then were about to order vials of donor sperm and then I found out I was pregnant that morning!"

TTC5, I am going to scope out your baby now!!!!! I am so glad everything looks perfect!!!!!

MFC, I hope you are hanging in there. I really think everything will be just fine, and you might need to just make a few little adjustments to your activity level, etc and all will proceed as normal. xoxo

[LolaInLove]

Lola-them maybe this HCG would not be for me because I don't loose weight when I BF.

Well, I don't either....but I think the HCG does 2 things- helps curb your appetite while you have a 500 cal a day diet for a month and also makes your body target your hard to lose fat stores better.....because when you have HCG in your system, your body thinks it is feeding a baby constantly, and there is some mechanism with the human body where it will delve into your thigh and belly fat (the bad fat, not your "good" fat) first to both nourish the baby and keep your body from deteriorating. That is the methodology behind it. Makes sense to me, because mother nature has a way of working well in situations where you can't eat because you have m/s but your baby still gets plenty of nutrition- your body is feeding your baby from your extra unneeded fat stores instead of stealing from your system. At least, this is what I understand from all of my reading about it online. Flava, maybe something to try after your baby comes? I am thinking of trying it for a few months while I prep our minds and hearts for the possible IUI with donor sperm thing (and save money for it).

[LolaInLove]

TTC5, I am so excited about your nub guesses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your baby is adorable already, that is all I can tell you!

[Princess of Pink]

Aurora we would love to have you here...besides we can swap you with me...no doubt I will end up with girl#6 and at least on the TTC Girl board I will feel like a success!! lol

5....super cute baby!! I think Boy but suck at reading u/s unless they are blazingly obvious!! hehehehehe

Lola, check out Micheala's weight loss blog if you haven't already! It's awesome. She went on the HCG diet and lost a lot of weight! It made me motivated to do another round now that I'm not TTC.

[TTC5]

Thanks guys :) xx

[Flava]

lola-thanks for the info. I sure really really want to try this when is my time to loose weight. Only problem is I think i can't get my hands on it...

[Princess of Pink]

OK..I had a temp dip today at 12dpo...BFN this morning so I am writing off this cycle! Next cycle I am leaving out the BSF completely cause I can't see why I wouldn't get a BFP using preseed and DTD O-3, O-2, O. When every other time I have TTC I got BFP first go with a lot less attempting (only 1 time in the cycle for my last 5 pregnancies). So it has to be BSF messing stuff up for me. I know 2 months trying is nothing...but for me it's huge. I feel like it's never going to work!!

[TTC5]

Pop - the month I did not use baking soda VOILA baby!!!! I would never tell anyone to use it again and I don't even believe it is needed in swaying!

Lola - maybe have a chat with Kris she used a donor and you just have to see her on facebook to see how much love that baby has already from her family and friends!!!! :D

[Flava]

Why so quiet here? No one ttc a boy anymore?
PP- I did not use BS or EW it was some pre-seed. So just drop that sh**!

I did not know kris is on FB .Guess Im not in the club...

Next cycle I am leaving out the BSF completely cause I can't see why I wouldn't get a BFP using preseed and DTD O-3, O-2, O. When every other time I have TTC I got BFP first go with a lot less attempting (only 1 time in the cycle for my last 5 pregnancies). So it has to be BSF messing stuff up for me. I know 2 months trying is nothing...but for me it's huge. I feel like it's never going to work!!

sorry POP:(
I agree, with the BSF I have used it the past few cycles and no BFP, so f that stuff!!:mad:
I should be O'ing this weekend and I will not be using it, so we'll see if that helps

Thanks, Aurora and Bec- I don't want to make you guys sad! :kiss: I just don't want anyone to have GD ever, so I want to inspire you guys to be totally happy with your baby regardless of gender, ya know? And truthfully, I NEVER thought I'd be one of those infertile ones....I never really gave it a thought in my life, and just assumed that I would get pg in a heartbeat with my new DH. I was way overconfident in my ability to get pregnant and also super obsessed with making a boy. My perspective has changed a ton, so I hope I can help influence you all to not fret as much if you don't get your boy.

I am kinda afraid to start talking about the donor sperm thing with my DH, to be honest.....and by the way, so don't mean to hijack this thread with infertility talk!!!!!......but it is a big step, and there are a lot of things to mull over. Like you said about your friend, Bec, I think I would rather just never tell anyone, but I worry that is totally dishonest to the child. Would you be upset never knowing that the man you call your father isn't actually your biological father but you came from a frozen sperm pop? I might start a thread asking opinions. Anywho.....we'll see......a small part of me still hopes that we end up as one of those stories where it goes, "And we tried and tried, and then were about to order vials of donor sperm and then I found out I was pregnant that morning!"

TTC5, I am going to scope out your baby now!!!!! I am so glad everything looks perfect!!!!!

MFC, I hope you are hanging in there. I really think everything will be just fine, and you might need to just make a few little adjustments to your activity level, etc and all will proceed as normal. xoxo

Hi Lola, if u really go down the donor sperm path, what you can try is mixing your DH's sperm with the donor vile and then iui.Many docs do that. That way you would have a chance with it being ur own and you would never know for sure that its not DH for sure. The bulk sperms with donor could help push ur DH's sperm ahead...
u don't have to tell no-one...not even the child or others as u do not know for sure too. it can help u have mental peace and self justification. just my 2 cents....GL to you and still hope it happens naturally though...

[auroara78]

PoP, I say nay to the evil baking soda finger! I bet this next cycle if you drop it, you will end up preggers!!

Cemas, I like the idea for Lola...hopefully she will too...that still gives the chance that the baby could be her own DH's! Tho I do hope you are one of those success stories Lola of ppl who stop trying and volia...pregnant!

Lola, this sounds like a great idea!!

POP - Yeah skip the bsf, I did 1 30 minutes prior to our attempt but don't think it made any difference. Swaying can add stress to ttc therefore making it take a bit longer. FWIW of my 6 pregnancies 5 were OHW the other was Charlie :)

Lola - I had a friend who was ttc for over a year had a m/c and a few months later finally agreed to try fertility meds. She'd been spotting so filled the rx and put it in her purse, spotting stopped and 2 days later she got her BFP. Olivia just turned 10. FX the same thing happens for you if you decide to go the donor route.
Oh and I like the mixing sperm idea!

dloui - FX for your attempt, blue dust for you!!

Flava - Don't feel bad, I'm not in the FB club either

Well ladies I have my 6wk postpartum on Friday and I'm having a hard time believing he's that old already and in just over 2 wks I'll be getting my IUD! WOOHOO!

[Kris217]

There are a couple of pregnancy and TTC groups on facebook :)

[Cinss]

I think bsf is an owt, i have never done it. I'm going to do my 1st test tomorrow at 10dpo, i am expecting a bfn but i am so bored in this 2ww i just have to do something!

[TTC5]

FX Cinss!!

[TTC5]

Why so quiet here? No one ttc a boy anymore?
PP- I did not use BS or EW it was some pre-seed. So just drop that sh**!

I did not know kris is on FB .Guess Im not in the club...
I only knew coz we met off another forum lol are you in fb Flava you can add me ;)

[Flava]

5- I just made a FB maybe 2 months ago or so and don't really know how to use it :rofl: so you can add me if you like hehe

did you test yet Cinss???

[LolaInLove]

Lola, check out Micheala's weight loss blog if you haven't already! It's awesome. She went on the HCG diet and lost a lot of weight! It made me motivated to do another round now that I'm not TTC.

Ah sweet, thanks!!!! So, did you do the drops or the shots? I want to try the drops so I don't have to get supervised or well, have shots.

[LolaInLove]

lola-thanks for the info. I sure really really want to try this when is my time to loose weight. Only problem is I think i can't get my hands on it...

You can order the drops online or maybe get at a health food store....I will let you know, still investigating. The shots you have to get at a weight loss clinic, I believe.

[Foxy]

Lola - I did the shots. I wasn't supervised and they are pretty easy to do :)

Thanks, Cemas.....we talked about the donor sperm and he is not at all wanting to think about that yet. He still holds out hope and says he'd rather figure out a way to pay for IVF over that. I can see his point....if I were the one who would have my eggs replaced, I would have a lot of emotional stuff to work through also. I actually found an infertility site that I have been reading a lot on and seems like a good option for us may be to go to Czech Republic, actually. I think I am going to start a journal or blog here so I don't keep posting and sounding like a weirdo.

[Foxy]

Lola - I don't think you sound like a weirdo. I love reading your posts and I often think about how you are doing. Hoping everything will work out for you and your DH somehow. Please don't stop posting. I would love to hear your update and how you are doing. :awe:

[Cinss]

did you test yet Cinss???

Doh... i totally forgot, now my FMU is gone :( i will test a little later though.

Aw, thank you Foxy! Sometimes I feel like a debbie downer, but I did make a thread for myself in the infertility section so I can kind of blab away and maybe help someone in the process. I will definitely stick around here, though. xxoo

And how did you get the shots yourself? Online?

[Foxy]

Lola - I got the HCG through a doc, but did my own shots. And you are not a debbie downer, hun. We support each other through thick and thin.

[Cinss]

Doh... i totally forgot, now my FMU is gone :( i will test a little later though.

BFN

[Cinss]

Sea salt potato chips or dark chocolate, no wonder im so fat !

[dloui128]

Sea salt potato chips or dark chocolate, no wonder im so fat !

I just bought some dark chocolate with sea salted almonds in it and it is sooooo good, but it doesn't fill me up so I eat it and then like 30 mins later I want something else. Are we allowed to have a bowl of honey nut cheerios or special k cereal?

[TTC5]

I used to eat a bowl of museli at night :)

[TTC5]

Sure, oats are really good for boy swaing too

[Flava]

Lola-thanks a lot! Really i love to know what you find out and where to get it! I have no doc who will give me this Im sure of that so I have to find another way.And after this baby i just must slim down. I even do the shots , I hate shots but I don't care.Whatever works best.
I also love when you post here.Wouldn't be the same if you are gone.
And you DH is right he wants his OWN baby not some one else's. I know others said to mix sperm is a good idea , I would not do that because it would make me crazy and soon or later I want to know who is the dad.
Then better save up DH's sperms and do IVF or IUI or what with all that saved sperms.
Or go to the Czech clinic and you guys do a nice trip you always wanted to go there anyway!

[Flava]

Foxy- so you did the shots, how was it? You know I just wonder what we can order online is the real stuff ? Same what the doc give you or something else. And omg you will ttc again:running: that's so cool! Why in 6 months?

[Flava]

Cinss-sorry for bfn but you still have time!FX

dloui-cereal is good for night snack. I mostly always eat dry fruit and nuts. And green tea .

[Foxy]

I know a couple of girls from a FB group got it online. I can get the link if you like. It's the same as the docs prescribe, but you have to be very careful where you get it. The shots are easy to do. I did them in my belly fat. Didn't hurt. I know some do it in the muscles. Ouch!

TTC in October, because then I will be able to finish my exams before the baby comes. :fingers:

Yes, Lola, I feel exactly the same as Foxy! I miss having you around. What will you do in th Czech republic?
