Hey girls, been working a ton the last week and had no time to get online. TTC5, so sorry you have so many squatters and life is stressful....waiting till they go may be a good idea. Hopefully, at least, they are helping you around the house and with kids so you are not doing everything. I know how worn out I get when I have family in town staying with me....constantly washing towels and cleaning up, it is exhausting. I hope your mom is doing better. HUGS!
KFX for you ladies in the 2ww now....Spicy, barfing may be a welcome although uncomfortable sign, right! And Luv, you are getting near testing time too, if I remember correctly. (I just read through about 20 pages!). FXFXFX!
3PNB, sorry it wasn't your month, hun. I know how much it sucks to have to move on to the next one. Hope you are doing alright!
I doubt I can address everyone here, mostly because I'm tired and can't remember much.....but just hoping everyone is doing ok. And welcome to the new girls!
As for me, like I said, working a ton, which has taken my mind off of stuff a bit. I've just been kind of blah lately, and still not a huge appetite. I am just so sick of being heavier than usual. I think we will still go with ttc again in August, so I am planning on taking May to just relax. We're starting to take the antioxidant supps like Babydes was talking about this week, but I'm not doing anything until we are 6 weeks out. I can't believe that August will be one year of swaying for us, too.....with lots of bumps in the road. It is hard to keep up with swaying when it's been this long. I pulled an opk out this morning because, technically, I am on CD15 (although days 1-8 were m/c) but I felt a twinge in my ovary (the left one where they say some follies coming about at my ultrasound last week). It was interesting to know that I ovulated from the right because there was still a corpus luteum there and they saw the left with follies, so I kinda know what track I'm on, ovary-wise. Anyway, I almost cried when I got that damn opk out, just thinking HOW MANY OF THESE have I taken in the last 9 months? Good grief, I've probably spent a good thousand or more dollars on opks and hpts and supps and preseed. But, (and here is my positive part!), it will all be good if I ever get pregnant and actually have a healthy baby. Honestly, at this point, I don't even care what we get, too.
So, hope you are all well, am keeping up with everyone even if not posting frequently. XOXO
Glad to see you back! I think the break will do you some good because it certainly has done so for me. Talk about the money we've spent swaying, dont wanna think about it. How much does Q10 cost in the US, it isnt cheap in the UK. Oh the other thing i read on IG was that magnesium was very important for a healthy preg. There was a debate about whether someone trying to have a boy should take it & a lady went on to say that she had recurrent m/c's so she took it but did all other sway factors & went on to have a healthy baby boy
Actually logged onto IG today & saw that i had a 1yr anniversary mesg & it just made me sad thinking that it's been a whole yr since my m/c & that i havent managed to fall preg since that time.. I really hope that this yr has some good news for us Lola because if nothing happens i'm not going to carry on, i just cant keep doing that to myself. I dont know how to tell DH that this is how i'm feeling because he really wants another child & i know he'll be upset. I can only hope that it doesnt come to that
FX!! Good luck.Quote:

I am so bummed this appears to have not been the lucky month for you though. I guess the bright side is you can take some of those lessons learned from round 1 and maybe have a better go this month. FX! Anyhow did y'all like the 10 great dates series? I know a bit about it but we haven't done it.
Babydes I didn't realize it had been a year for you! I wouldn't fret a bit about Clomid; I am sure I'm not the only one who has friends who have boys conceived while on Clomid.
TTC5, love, you are in a tough spot right now! Wow. I hope as MFC said they at least help out a bit. Hope things go well for your Mom and siblings and they can be back on their own soon.
Flava are you seriously dropping out or just having one of those days? Believe me, I think if I swayed as hard as you did and still got another DD I'd struggle with trying again too. But I'm also totally the type of person that believes everything is possible ... so maybe, just maybe, #5 could be it for you? My FIL is the 5th of 10; his mom had 4 girls before him, and then 3 more boys after him. Crazy. Anyhow I am with you on the drawing a line somewhere, and I know for sure 3 is my end point. Even if I knew it would be another girl at this point I'm convinced our family is supposed to have one more, so I'm going for it. Even if you don't sway again please stay around to hang out!
Lola happy to see you pop on! We can try together in August :-) And ITA with your positive end point ... when you are holding that healthy little baby you are going to cherish him or her after all this.
Spicy FX for you!
Lola, Glad to see you back sweetie! I think it is good to wait until August. Would be good to give your self a break from swaying. As far as the money..I spent A LOT of money!! Swaying supplements, etc it's too expensive. I've been buying all the stuff since June 2010 :( I'm tired. I'm thinking about taking break too.
Thanks for the luv eveyone. Well, I remember Phoenix on IG told me she took a break and it was the best thing for her, because when she started swaying again, she went full out and got her little man. I think it will do us good, us long timers!!!! Happy 2nd to your little chica, Begonia!
I sure hope you get a BFP!Quote:

Not sure if Mother's Day was a emotional for you as it was for me. I was hoping a BFP would make things feel a little more fair, but that's just not the way it works, is it.
Thinking about you, babe
Iluvmyman, I'm sorry about the BFN :( but it's not over until AF shows her ugly head And, hopefully, she won't!!!
How many DPO are you now?
Congrats on Birthday #2 for you DD! I can't go with you on the infant thing. Sometimes I joke that I'd love more babies just not more children. :) It's a joke, no one get made at me. :) I l-o-v-e babies, I want to eat them with a spoon for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Although, I believe they can improve a little on the whole sleeping through the night thing, then they'd be perfect. :)Quote:

I really messed up in the 2ww, but won't wait till June. I really wanted to have a new baby close to DS2's birth in December. This month would push us into February already. Too close to girl territory for me if I don't get a BFP this month then I'll have to re-evaluate when to ttc again. I doubt I'll give it up though and wait till the Spring again, I'm too old and need to, you know what or get off the pot.
10 Great Dates is OK. Our 3rd date is on Saturday and I haven't looked at the lesson yet. 1st date was amazing, 2nd I didn't love the questions. Hey, if it gets you on a scheduled date with DH, it's worth it and it gives you some things to talk about that aren't revolved around work and kids. I like it.
Seems like lots of people are on Clomid, even people who don't seem to have been ttc for very long. Maybe they are just telling their Dr's they've been trying for a year? I like the twin aspect but I think that might push DH into hospital time. :)
13DPO, I took one last test this morning and it was negative. Totally not prego this time. :(
I'm gonna lay a little low for a few days or so and try to get through Atomic's great Sticky's, re-educate myself and re-evaluate where I'm at on my sway techniques. I'll still respond and keep up on here, but try and not stay up till 1 am every night yammering away.
But I LOVE your yammering! It's so fun to read your posts! Good to know on the 10 great dates thing. We do have a regular date night but it does end up frequently being about the kids or the house right now. Or DH's work. Anyhow I will likely wait til September at the earliest, only b/c we agreed not TTC until we get moved into the new house. But if not September definitely October, because for some weird reason I *feel* like that will be our boy month, LOL! I would have in some ways loved another accident baby ... DD1 was such a surprise and she's the best surprise ever, so I would probably shake my fist at God while he laughed at me had I gotten a BFP. 'Cause now I totally get that my plans aren't always the best :-) How badly did you go off the diet in the 2WW?Quote:

Thanks for the bday wishes for the baby girl Lola! It was super fun :-) So do you have any more doc appts between now and August when you TTC? The amount of $$$ on the OPK's is ridic. I haven't used them for several months since we aren't actively TTC. I'll start again 3 months or so beforehand to get the hang of it again, because they are crazy pricey.
3PNB where are you lady?! Hope you're a-ok :-) Hope you're on a fabulous vacay. I think most of us could use one!
Oooo! Here's a chatty topic (I can't help myself! I'm a chatterbox!) What is your dream vacay! Have you been on it? Where would it be? Would you take your kids :rofl: On that note, would you even take DH? :wink:
Bummer iluv, i know how it feels to see the negative result... Better luck next time, at least your cycle is on the shorter side, mine is 33 - 35 days usually :(Quote:

How important does everyone think timing is?
The only things i really was doing to sway was timing, 4 day abstinence and diet changes.
When I conceived DDs I drank milk and crystal light like crazy! I have since cut them out and only drink lemon water and no dairy. hoping it helps.
I am sooo disappointed that it is taking this long. It has been over a year now with an early m/c and 14 week loss in there. it sucks.
Hope I did not miss anyone wanting their details added - let me know!!
Ok.. I am on swaying hold lol but still following general diet and supps just not as hard core! I have landed myself a job, although "relief" it is great and keeping my mind of swaying while we have a full house here. I am doing relief TA with school children and in particular those with special needs/disabilities. Thoroughly enjoy it :)
Oh, and still temping too!
Oh, I´m very sorry princessap, I was wondering how you were doing.
Sparkling a lot of blue dust to all of you!!
I HEAR YA, SISTER. You need to do what is right for you. I remember after my 5th bfn month in a row, I gave up on swaying also. I thought I would get pg in the first try, I've always been super fertile. But, then I got a bfp in the 6th month with no swaying, and it freaked me out to think that I didn't do these few little things to push the odds towards blue, so I started back with it after that m/c, and was feeling pretty good about the sway for the last pg. I know, it is so very frustrating. But you know, you can't get your dg if you can't get a bfp, and I am close to being on that track with you. I am focused right now on stuff that will improve our egg and sperm quality and just make a healthy baby. Hugs to you, hun.Quote:

I had never used opks or anything, so I was all thinking, hey, if I'm hitting the nail on the head and putting sperm by my egg, this should take no time. Well, being 35 (34 then!!!), that was a crock. Just be patient....there aren't many of us who had a one hit wonder, no matter the age! Seems to me like you are doing an excellent job of researching swaying and getting a great plan in place, so you will get where you want to be soon, I am sure of it.
Oh, and about the diet and 2ww thing, ILuv....just get back on it now and don't fret about it. I did that lots of months. I believe that if you are nourishing your body with a wide range of nutrients and eating a lot of protein and keeping your blood sugar level, you are swaying blue like a MOFO, so you can start again right away! I am sure you haven't been starving yourself in this 2ww, so you are probably better off than you think!
That's awesome! Nothing like working to take your mind off of stuff, that is for sure! So, you are aiming for August now?Quote:

iluv Im sorry about the bfn:sad:
sorry about AF:sad: Diet changes is a good sway ! Hope you get a bfp next time!Quote:

Supplements include Iron, B12, Lots of FA, Fish Oil, Vit E, Mucinex (1200/day)
Using OPK, Preseed w/BS, and Shettles timing and position method
Started P90X to increase muscle mass (have none currently)
And last but most importantly in my opinion, I WILL NOT be jumping and dumping, as was successful for two girls (I had NO IDEA that would sway girls but I'm a believer!)
I <3 GD!
Sorry to be mia ladies had some chaos that enveloped my world for a few days. I'll fully read back later but it looks like a solid of bfn's, boy that sucks!
Dh and I have decided to take a break until my periods even out. The emotional roller coaster of late O and late AF is getting to me. I realized the other day that it's not swaying I'm sick of it's my own body screwing with me that I'm fed up with. I'm going to keep opk'ing just to be sure I continue to O but we have decided to wait at least two cycles before we try again, so I'll be joining you July/Aug swayers!
Flava, I hear ya. I know I would feel the same way if I have another girl. And you are not mean to want 1 boy, that is why all of us are here.....we just want ONE of the other gender, which I think is completely natural for any human being. I want the experience of raising both genders of children, and therefore, I want a boy, just like you do. Doesn't mean I don't love and want and cherish my daughters...I just really want the next one to be a boy, and if it's not, then we will live our lives happily as the parents of 3 girls and I'll probably always wish I could have had a son, which will be hard to get over but I am sure I will someday. We can't afford HT, so that's it for us. And jeez, I say all this as if I can get pg in the first place.
I think it boils down to this: it's a risk....you never know, unless you go HT, that #5 will be a boy. So, you gotta take that gamble. Is it worth it to you? I know you don't *want* another girl, but could you be ok if you did have another failed sway? BUT.....on the flip side....if you never take that risk, you will never have your chance of having a son. I think you just need to talk to your DH and see how he feels about the possibility of a 5th girl, and then go from there. I can totally see how you'd be pessimistic about it, BUT (again) you never know! Maybe this one would work!
Either way, hugs to you, Flava, I know this is a very very big deal, and I hope you guys come to a good and peaceful conclusion so things are bright and sunny for you. XOXO
Well I'm glad you'll be ttc with me then! I think it's a good decision to take a break, mostly because I feel good about doing it myself, I feel like it will rejuvenate me, so hopefully it will do the same for you.Quote:
