♥ JULY 2011 TTC Boy Chit Chat Thread ♥

Alexis, I don't know much about vit c affecting cm and such......but I just have a "regular" amount. I don't drink a lot of acidic beverages, but maybe cut back and see if it helps?

Lola - I'm excited to help, I've never seen a birth before! What a great dr's appt! You'll be getting a bfp in no time!!

Thanks, 3....I hope you are right. I'm a little worried about this Clomid swaying girl, but just think I may use the ew now. My dr even told me to use something at least for lube. When is your appt and hopefully u/s?

Next Thursday and I'm seriously hoping for a little peace from it. I know I'm pregnant but honestly don't believe I'm actually going to have a baby yet.

Thanx Lola, i've not been on much since going on vacay. Good to hear from you as well. I'm on CD14 today. I had positive OPK's on CD12 & CD13. I had a+opk yesterday during the afternoon yesterday (CD13) but - opk at 11:30 last night. So we are done for this cycle. We DTD twice on CD12 am and pm but none last night since I fell asleep. MY CM hasn't been good since the a.m. of CD12 so I'm feeling OK about this month but I think we s/h DTD last night. Whatever, I really don't expect to get a BFP now.

Meds for thyroid seem so be helping since I've had 2 good months of cycles in a row and I was only having a good cycle every other month. I'm totally chill on the swaying, now although, I think I've gone too far the other way now and I'm trying but I don't feel like I'm "swaying" much anymore and I did drink this weekend. Not crazy but I did. We had a fantastic weekend celebrating my DH's 36th b-day and the 4th of July. In 6 weeks or so I'll go back in for another thyroid test to check if I need to go higher or lower on the meds or i'm good to go now. I'm just happy my cycles seem to be back on track again. I feel like it's killed a lot of good baby making months.

So I guess I missed your update. I thought it was Begonia who did an attempt this month but wasn't thrilled w/ her timing and I was teasing her about it but now I think that might have been you??? Was it a BFN last attempt? I think our attempts are close to each other. IDK. :)

She said my cervix was really opened which is good, she injected a little sperm into my cervix and the rest all over it. I laid with hips propped for 90 mins before i had to get up and pee. I put an instead cup in before i got up and will leave that in for a few hours.

You already know how excited I am for you!!!!! xxxxx

I am in my late 30s though. It took a while to get DD2 because of m/cs and if I get to over 40 my chances of another DD increase dramatically. Also I have had high cholestorol in the past. Never high blood pressure which is good but it does run in the family. So I am really not happy about being on this diet for too long. Also if we skip this cycle and next cycle we will be too close to DD2's birthday. I think it would be nice for both kids to have separate birthdays. Thanks again for your advice.

I hope it happens for you very soon!!!

Not to mention, I told my yoga instructor that we are having issues ttc and she said yoga is excellent for that, gets the blood pumping in your pelvis and all over. I do remember being super fertile and had girls when doing a lot of yoga back in the day. We are now on diet again, and I think I may start some acv and such soon. UGHHHHHHHHH but not much else. We will likely do some boy stuff when we dtd (preseed, position, etc) but I am just so worn out with ttc and m/c stuff that I am not as in to it as I wish I was.

I just held my friend's 2 month old baby boy for an hour up in my office while she took ballet class and I thought I would be DYING over it, but right now, I just feel whatever. Clearly I am being self-protective here, telling myself I don't really care if I have a baby or not, subconsciously.

Anyway, I hope you are right, Babydes, and the luck keeps rolling. Blue crew had a big dry spell there!!!! I am SO glad you are doing well and baby is plugging right along!

I bet you get a bfp in no time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry :(
