TTC a BOY May Chit Chat Thread

Bec, glad things are finally moving along for you!!

Lola, yay for the +opk! Did you DTD last night or are you going to tonight?

Pop, I hope your body is done playing tricks on you and you finally O!

Thanks for all the support guys and super happy you are Oing Lola!!! I thought this month that I was doing really good with the TTC stress, I felt really calm about it until O decided to not show up. But my job is stressful and I can't really do anything to stop that.

POSITIVE OPK FINALLY.....just later this month. Stress is not my friend lately....I think it definitely lowered my estrogen this month, hence the late ovulation and super dry vag, ugh. Going to try to be more chill now. FX you get your soon too POP!

You got your positive OPK!? FRIGGEN SWEEEEET!!!! :D

I had a u/s today because I was spotting they said everything looks fine though thank god. I am measuring 11 wks. When do people usually post their u/s pics and guess gender based on skull? is 11 weeks too early?

Well, of course we dtd last night (we've been dtd every other day, so it's been CD10, 12, 14 was last night) so now I guess we'll just either go for it tonight or just wait until the morning. It will probably be too late tomorrow night. Oh well. Probably won't matter anyway, we'll just go for it tonight, why not!

Yea, just a tad early. I think 12 weeks is the earliest. But hey, if you got a good nub shot, maybe worth a stab! I'll go peep it out.....and glad everything looks good with your baby, D!

LOL! We've tried that for probably half of the 24 months we've been ttc.....I think it doesn't work too well after 35!

I hear ya, lady, mine is too and I can't do much about it either. I just have to try to take deep breaths instead of tear heads off, etc. I really don't think daily job stress is that big of a deal, I think it's more of the big time stress stuff. Like I have to put my old dog to sleep and we were stressing about buying a new house (but we squashed that) and I was stressing about money stuff big time with the IVF....I've decided not to worry. I think the infertility stress was really strong this month also because of the recent bad morphology diagnosis. But, trying to just put it all under the rug for now and just KEEP LIVIN', right!!!!!!

7 interesting facts about the number 7

1. It's the number of spots common on a ladybug.
2. It's the country code for a phone call to Russia.
3. It's the number of wonders in the ancient world.
4. It's the number of deadly sins for Christians.
5. It's the most powerful number in magic as far as Harry Potter is concerned.
6. It's the number of points on a sheriff's star.
7. It's how many days Cinss has to wait to test :)

You DH's count may fluctuate, too.....my DH had less than 2m last September and 19m about a month ago, although he had been taking Countboost. His morphology went down the toilet though, and that is our main problem now. Only 1% of his sperm are normal. BUT- the point of all of this is that it is possible to get a boy without an off the charts sperm count, see? Your flip of the coin ended up blue just because odds are 50/50, which is fabulous!!!!! I'm so happy for you, Alexis!

Thanks so much Lola!!! I had wondered if the supps had even had time to work on him lol. I guess it doesn't matter now ;)

I've still got hope for you too girl!! FX for ya!!!

Thank you all for the congrats!

Glad work stress doesn't make too much of a big deal, cause in my job I could kill people on an hourly basis...not to mention all the dramas I have to solve!! We are gonna do this....once your DH's balls start enjoying their holiday and multiplying nice fresh, healthy bad boys...we gonna get knocked up hon!!! xxx


Cinss you have to get a BFP this month...you're the only one left standing!!!

Attachment 2817 <------I swear thats what they have been doing the past few months!!

Lola, great news that you are still O'ing. The soy isoflavones can only help, right?

PoP, it totally suck that you haven't O'd yet. So what's the plan? Just keep doing OPKs?

Cinss, if you get your bfp then May won't have been such a sucky month!

Sorry hun that sucks why do our bodies betray us like that :( I bet your going to have an awesome June :)

Alexis, thank you! We are planning and saving for IVF in Prague next summer, so that is our last resort and hopefully will work if we don't get lucky before then. It's so funny how many couples, like you guys, start to pull out some bigger guns and then they find out they are pregnant a couple weeks later. Love it! And you'll never know if the supps helped, but hey, your DH's "bad boys" (LOL POP!) did their job just fine. So consider it a challenge conquered!

POP, it is high time someone here gets knocked up! I am stoked to see how the soy affects you next cycle. I am debating trying it this coming cycle myself, but I'll do a super low dose. I don't want to screw up my system at all!

Cinss, love your chart of 7s, you are a hoot! FX this is your month!!!! Someone's got to get knocked off the ttc list here!

POP had to laugh at your comment "evilbay"

I swear today was the first time I EVER TRIED to bid on an item, and i kept getting out bidded! So I gave up! The obstuse asshole who kept raising up the price can have the damn thing....I'm so over it already!

Then I tried to bid on some maternity clothes because I am desperate for acceptable work shirts (I need a L or XL) and another cow is outbidding on a lot of great looking maternity clothes....GRRRRRRRR

So far my experience on ebay have truly been evil!

Any tips for bidding on an item and getting it for a good price without it going crazy high?

And anyone else know where to get XL or L maternity work clothes for super cheap? I don't mind gently used because I only got another 4 months left to go but my belly is too big now for my old work clothes.

If I ever bid on stuff on ebay, I don't touch it, and then put a bid in when there is like 5 seconds left. I have gotten a few things that way without jacking the price up with a bidding war. Aurora, are you in the US or UK (I can't remember....). I got a few cute work tops at Motherhood Maternity, which is pretty cheap stuff, in the local mall, but I think they have online stuff now.

Snipe Website
I use the above website to set a "snipe". You enter the item number and the max you are willing to pay and the site bids for you in the last 5 seconds of the auction. People don't have long enough to outbid you!! Works fantastic!! Been using it for years!


I had a temp rise this morning...not huge but a definite rise!! I don't think I O'ed yesterday though....I think I O'ed during the evening before as I had my typical stabbing pain I get when I O and yesterday by 9am my cervix was back super low and creamy CM, where as the day before I was high, mushy and I had heaps of EWCM....so maybe I did O. Got a 2 day cut off though lol

I wish I had known you needed that kind of stuff--I just turned down an entire box of maternity clothes because they were too "fancy" (I only wear jeans and T shirts). The lady who offered them was headed to Goodwill afterwards, so I know she got rid of them already.... bummer! :( Have you tried Goodwill? or a consignment shop?

As far as eBay goes, I use that bidnapper site, as well as waiting until the day the auction ends to start bidding. No sense in bidding early on, as it just drives up the price.

Yay for O, POp!! Finally!!

Congrats PoP, see you aren't out this month! :)

TWW yAy!!!!!!

I usually do that bid at the last 45 seconds thing if it is an auction, but i rather look at the "buy it now" items.

Welcome to the 2ww POP :)

I am 10dpo today, i thought about testing but i didnt, i must wait until June, i must wait until June !!!

Ohhh Cinss your self control is awesome!!!!



But TEST NOW HAHAHAHAHAH

LOL its too late FMU is long gone. I'd rather be ignorantly blissful than disappointed in another BFN.

Oooooh I got my BFP with evening pee 11DPO!! You know you wanna test before June!

Aren't we POAS pushers??

I have been scarce this week ladies, but we closed on our new house this morning, yay!!!!! We don't move for about 3 weeks but I have a lot to do until then, plus I have to keep our current house totally clean until we move or get an offer on it :p

Trying to do all of this is exhausting but I'm so excited about getting into the new place :)

Cinss how many DPO were you with all of your daughters when you got that BFP? ;)

Just wondering we at WWAPP on FB were having a conversation if we had all girls if we would sway for a boy...some moms said no, a few said yes but only go give their husband a son. So if you are swaying for a boy, is it because you want a boy or to give your husband a son? thanks!!

Michelle

Both of us and also the girls ;)

PoP, you're still in with a chance this month, awesome.

Cinss, you have good will power not to test!

So now all three of you (POP, Cinss and Lola) are in the 2ww. Surely someone has to get a bfp :)

I have answered already, but I am mainly swaying for DH.

Oh, what's WWAPP?

Michelle i answered in the other thread too but a little more info - i have 1 daughter, my DP has 3 so i was swaying boy for him.

Butterfly my first positive preg test was a week past AF i miscarried. Then my second positive was also a week past AF that was with DD so really i am just going to wait until AF is due and it will probably still be negative.
