hopeful- we should hang out in the 2ww I posted there but I guess Im the only one who ttc blue there so it's feel like Im in the pink thread.:worry:
Flava and hopful--yay for the 2WW!
Kris, can't wait to see your pics!
I have a potassium question.... are all of you taking the tablet? If so, how much, and are your worried about stooping it? That thread about it freaked me out so bad, I had a nightmare last night!
I'll catch up later I just wanted to post this pic. If any body shatters the carrying theory this is it. This lower then low belly produced a gorgeous baby girl.
When will you test Flava?Quote:

I'm 5dpo today. Having lots of creamy cm with some pale yellowish mixed in. Same as my chemical cycle. Trying not to get my hopes up and being here with my sister and her family is helping keep my mind occupied. May even be here to test lol. Leaving for home on Thursday.
Lola-I'm so sorry to hear the SA news. Don't give up!
Good luck to those of you also in the 2ww!!
Oh really! How come? xxQuote:

AFM, AF has arrived so we're just 17 days out from our attempt squee! I've been awful at the diet lately though so I'm going to really ramp up and try to stuff my face lol. I tend to skip meals when I'm under a lot of stress. It's a bad habit I have to break sigh.
Thanks ladies but that belly belongs to a good friend of mine. We were all sure she would be having a boy but no, a gorgeous little red haired lady emerged.
I can't believe how many are about to attempt or just have!! So exciting! And all you ladies asking for advice, I'll start chiming in after the u/s. At this point is seems to make more sense to advise once I know if my sway worked or not.
Hi everyone, DANG IT, I just wrote the longest post and then I accidentally deleted it somehow. I hate this laptop. Anyway, I will try again!
3, my jaw dropped thinking that was you for a minute, but I wouldn't be surprised if we get that big with our 3rd and consecutive babies. Are you going nuts waiting????
I am so excited for everyone's scans.....big FX all the bubs are healthy and perfect, and can't wait to see pics!!!
Tink, I say use the ew and give it a shot....it's kinda a pain in the ass, but why not? Hobbs, did you use that when you conceived your son?
TTC5, are you going for it this month?
WP, hope your AF has cleared up and you are excited to try again. You are supposedly extra fertile now!
And to all my lovely friends in the 2ww, may there be an abundance of bfps soon!!!
As for me, I'm starting with the ups and downs now. I think my initial reaction was to not let myself fall into despair, but now reality and lots of other thoughts are creeping in. There are times that I think I should prepare to not ever have another kid so I don't live in this weird purgatory of hope/despair/crazy. My folks said the same thing a lot of you did, which was wondering how I got pg twice with a count in no man's land like that, so that does give me some hope. I don't see many natural success stories with it that low. I just HATE the thought of having to get baby-poor at this point in our lives....it just doesn't seem to make sense. If we pay all this money and have one, then what are we supposed to do when we are strapped as all get out after that for years? Oh, and I must mention that I'm taking the estradiol now, the estrogen supplement which is supposed to work well with CLomid, which seems kinda pointless, but I figured I'd try it. Def makes me hormonal, duh!
Gonna be an exciting week, though! I am so grateful I have this site and forum and all of you to keep me happy and distracted and hopeful!!!!!!
3pink-wow only 5 days!!!:running::fx::bluecheer::luck:
Lol-a I saw a baby story on TV there was this man and they find out he got zero sperm! Then he had to do some treatments I don't know what and after that he got 6 sperm! Only 6!
They did iui or ivf sorry i don't remember and got pregnant first try and got a baby!
So 2 million is a way lot better! I really hope you get a bfp again just like that!!
Lola, I have been wondering if maybe you should do a second SA. I mean, he has gotten you pregnant several times and if their numbers are right then that really shouldn't have happened, right? Who knows if they even got it right.
I know a woman who ttc'd for a while and then got her DH's sperm tested and the morphology was horrible. They pretty much told them, it's IVF or nothing. Well, she cried and was miserable and depressed and everything else because they couldn't afford it. They just kept on dtd like normal and were trying to get a plan together....yeah, she got pregnant. The doctors basically told them there was no way. Well, that baby was born in 2003 and is now the oldest of FIVE kids they've had. So sometimes doctors don't know crap! Your DH OBVIOUSLY CAN get you pregnant so I don't think you should be giving up hope. Not at all.
Nah not this month this is first AF since coming off pill may try next month but may also wait till Nov or Dec.Quote:

Daisy- love that story! I'm always amazed at how wrong dr's can be. I was told I would have trouble conceiving due to my tilted uterus and tiny cervix, well jokes on them 5 of my 6 pregnancies have been ohw.
Had my NT scan done today, all went well except for my blood test last week. They messed that up and only tested me for diseases and left out the 1st trimester screening. I had another blood test today but all looks good so i'm expecting good results. Anyway here are a few pics :) got to see the baby in 4D which was amazing. They just rotate the image so you can see every angle of the baby. I did ask about gender but she said it was a bit too soon so i will have to wait a bit longer!
I am guessing BOY!!!!!!
Awe great pics Kris!
kris -very cute baby! Did you posted in the u/s thread? I think looks like boy!
We decided yesterday not to ttc anymore. Maybe 1 more in Oct. but may not even that.
DH is worried about work, money, and renting with 5 kids if we have to move out ect ect.
I just wish he told me this before I put on this 20lbs ! It will be hard to loose it again for sure.
But I know somewhere he is right...
Anyway that am I doing here ? I already had 2 sway and it did not worked. So who am I kidding?
I wish everyone get a blue bfp ! I hang out till AF due and then say goodbye.
Just to add it's 5dpo and Im trying to stop the HE diet(wanted to go till AF just to see if bfn but no point now)
but it's hard because I still damn hungry all the time now!
Also I feel sick like a cold again , DD1 is the same and DD4 still sick with ear infection!
Aww, Flava, I'm sorry! You never know - you could get a bfp in a few days here and then it would be very obvious this baby is a little miracle. Keep your chin up! =)Quote:

I could definitely not afford 5 kids at all, probably not even 4. Well, as long as you are hanging out until AF, that gives us some time to still chat with you.Quote:

Awe Flava, that's a rough decision but you gotta do what's best for you and your family. Seriously sad to see you go :tissue: fx for a bfp!
Lola- good attitude! Keep those 2 bf's in mind, it is totally possible!
Flava, seeing your post. I would hate to see you go but I understand you must do what is best for your family as a whole. Maybe this is it for you then(BFP?). Time will tell, I guess. If you do decide to go, I hope you will keep in touch.
So excited for all the scans and attempts coming up!!
Sorry I have been so out of the loop ladies - I just read through the entire Sept. thread but know I can't do everyone justice.
(((hugs))) to the ladies with loses and chemicals this month.
A couple of personals:
Flava - if you are using a monitor and OPK's I would use the monitor in the morning and use the OPK's in the evening. That way if you get a High on the monitor in the morning, you will have a chance to catch a LH surge that happens later in the day. If you hold your urine throughout the afternoon it will make it nice and concentrated for the evening and you might get a smiley then :)
This may be irrelevent since you are taking a TTC pause, but just so you know another option if you try another cycle :)
To me it looks like you O'd on the 14th - maybe later in the day or that night. Your temp looks like a classic ovulation dip, and the +OPK's are good sighns for a later-in-the-day ovulation. The fertility monitor gives you two peak days and an automatic high after the second peak when it detects the LH surge starting. So I think that lines up on your chart, too.
Lola - girl I am so sorry to hear about your DH's numbers. I would be encouraged, though, that you have gotten pg even if you haven't carried to term, in the past year. I think there is hope for you! Is your DH getting in plenty of fat. I'm going to sound like my normal broken record self, but I really do think that low fat = low fertility for both men and women! It makes it almost impossible for his body to use the good nutrients in his supps if he's not getting enough! My DH was able up fat and cut carbs and still lose weight, and his testosterone levels have increased (don't know about swimmer counts though)
and 3PNB - don't you go anywhere, you're so encouraging in the TTC threads!
AFM: I've been MIA lol, I haven't even been keeping up with my blog well. Working on stripping and repaint our house is a HUGE project, plus starting up school again (we homeschool) and keeping up with my website work has kept me super-busy.
Honor is almost 4 months old - I can't believe it!! She is gradually getting less fussy but still wants me to hold her all the time. She takes a good morning nap and that is about it right now! She sleeps well at night once I get her to sleep but lately has been really clingy in the evenings. By the end of the day I feel little "touched out" but I know that it's only for a little while. It helps me re: TTC though because I'm certainly content to wait awhile for another baby!
On that note I am finally losing weight. AMEN! Got a ways to go toward my goal but it's coming off and I can really feel the difference :)
I also decided to pull the fertility monitor out and use the Marquette Breastfeeding Protocol (http://nfp.marquette.edu/sc_breastfeed_monitor.php) for NFP while nursing. I haven't had any signs of cycling since that heavy bleed I had when Honor was 11 weeks, so I'm not sure if my body is cycling or if that was just from moving furniture and overdoing things. Anyways, I'm kind of enjoying charting and monitoring even if I'm not having regular cycles yet b/c I feel more in tune with my body and will be ready when my cycles return to normal.
Again ladies I am so excited to see the attempts and scans coming up. So many people are finally getting to their TTC months and that's so exciting!
