ELP!!! HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORAY! Congrats on the BFP dear, I am so happy for you! And wonderful that you're fairly low-key about the blue/pink thing. That's the best! FX for a sticky bean and a lovely 9 months!
Alexis I am sorry you're thinking you're out this month! I know you didn't have loads of EWCM though so maybe look forward to having a chance to up that this time around. Trying to find a bright side for you!
Baby, don't worry about the ramzi theory, really! If there was TRULY something to it then all our doc's would be telling us at 7-8 weeks the gender. I'm sorry it bummed you out though; I totally would have been bummed to hear it too, even though I don't buy it.
Iluv, welcome to the 2WW! I'm OK with my sway; I was more just hoping for a BFN bc the timing in terms of the birth month was off... we really just tried this month for fun; it would have been far better in terms of our life events for me to have a baby next fall instead of next spring. But whatever, DD1 was TOTALLY unplanned and couldn't be a better surprise, so I'm happy to roll with it this time too. Though I will say that my BD timing wasn't ideal either, since we BD 24 hours apart and I know most go for 0-2 and 0, which is what I was shooting for. My O came on CD 13 instead of 14 though so whaddya do. At least we had a 4 day abstinence prior to the 1st attempt. And what's done now is done!
Visited a friend today with an 8 month old boy (after 1 girl) and she was all "you SO need to have a son. It's a totally different experience." I love her to bits but wanted to punch her in the face. She doesn't know we are pg again but does know (and she's one of 2 friends who knows) how badly I want a son. I think she meant it as encouraging but it was more a slap in the face.
Lola are y'all going for it in August?!?! I am getting so excited for you to jump on the TTC train again. I know it has to be hard after all you've been thru these last 12 months but I am rooting for you like crazy.
Jen, how exciting to go to the birth!!!! Oh I hope you just have the best time! And I hope like heck you've got a nice, sticky little bean nestled in there, just healthy as can be. FX they give in to your demands for an u/s. Surely they will!
Welcome Layla! FWIW one of my DD's was full moon and one was likely new. I don't put much into that stuff. I think the best sway is diet for sure. But the rest of it is fun, and I tried to get as much right as I could just for the heck of it.
Cemas FX that CM is great for you this month! What CD are you?
TTC5 your restraint is impressive this 2WW! LOL! I loved your POAS addiction last time ... it was super fun!
Tink, FWIW I was a clockwork 14 day ovulator (that sounds like a machine) but after several months on diet and supps I kinda ended up more like Lola, with a window. Mine went to being as early as CD10, but usually CD13-14. FX you stay regular, it'll make timing so much easier!
So I am sure I left some peeps out. Cheeky I feel like you were about to have an attempt or were at least doing OPK's when I last checked in? And Kris I hope things work out for you this month, sounds like you definitely got the swimmers in the right place and right time! FX!
