I really want to try but I don't know if I am just being inpatient?! We're also going to QLD next week and having a wedding the weekend after.

Go for it ;)

Did you guys have a good time?

I just watched the dvds of my girls' ultrasounds. They both had definite girl nubs at 12 weeks. Wish I had know about nubs back then, I wouldn't have had to wait so long to find out the gender!

What is this thing?

Well looks like no luck for me:sad: my temp is the lowest this month .Going down for 3 days now! (take a look I don't think we get a bfp with temps like this)Yesterday the spotting stop but this morning it's back again.
Temp should have gone up if it's a IB , right?
So I guess it's just early AF spotting? looks like it's all over...:(:SS:

I'm sorry Flava. :(

Welcome back, Princess!

Kris, how was your trip to America?

Bec, can you go to those events and just watch what you eat and drink? I bet if you take it easy on all the drinks you will be fine to attempt this month.

TTC5, when do you expect O? Good luck!

We DTD again last night and now we are done. In the 2WW.

Our last attempt last night didn't go as well as the first two attempts--I forgot to use the eggwhites, and then DH didn't wait for me and finished too fast. I added the EW afterwards--do you think that's weird? I don't know why I did it, it was a total impulse, and afterwards I worried I washed all the swimmers out so I put in the instead cup. I feel like it was a wasted attempt really. I hope I didn't screw it all up.

CA- not that I want you to go but the only way I was able to relax with my loss was to leave IG. I didn't come back until after the m/c then came here. Again not telling you to leave but it does help you put the sway behind you :) oh and fwiw both my inlaws smoke and they had 4 boys!

Flava- have you talked to your dr about the super short lp? I've read it can prevent pregnancy by not giving the egg enough time to really borrough in before being flushed away. Come on now no loosing hope till the floodgates open!

Ttc5- fx you can get the lower rate and yeah for full steam ahead on the baby makin' :)

Gizmo- can you imagine standing at the bank and suddenly you egg starts beeping :rofl:

Love- great start!
You never know what your friend did, maybe just tiny changes in eating and boom boy. Most people don't relate little dietary changes like I made an effort for breakfast to getting a boy. For some it could take as little as a couple hundred extra calories to tip their bodies into feast and typically we don't notice that. My sil conceived my nephew at Christmas so she'd been feasting on holiday foods basically since Thanksgiving but it doesn't even occur to her that it may have played a factor in getting her son.

Light- waiting till 14dpo, you are a beacon of strength lol

Princess- welcome back! Lots of bfp's and 4 boys!

Bec- yeah I'm the dd too :wink:

Kris- ah bummer!

Hobber- woohoo!!

thanks All for FX :) ................ 3P1B ! first of all did i miss to congratss you sweetie :)??? , very happy 4 uu , plzzz send us blue dust too ;).......it was quite easy untill i did not visit this site , now seems like im not that strong ;)

Given you had prior attempts I think you have a GREAT chance!!

We had a great time in America, did lots of baby shopping! Got married which was nice, and Sarah got to see all her family and friends so it was a productive trip!

Yes I was thinking that, but I just cant help myself, you know??
If I start getting too upset and worried I'll stop for sure.

Was googling pregnancy symptoms of women carrying boys, just to torment myself :sigh: So far dont have morning sickness, although my skin is starting to play up :mad: and thats a girl symptom :sad:

Dd1 :ballerina: Dd2 :giggle: & OMG Im :pregnant:

Kris217 - CONGRATULATIONS:celebrate:

Flava - Im sorry this wasn't your month.

Dd1 :ballerina: Dd2 :giggle: & OMG IM :pregnant:

Oh darlin don't torture yourself with symptoms. I had very little morning sickness and crappy first trimester skin too. This pregnancy isn't markedly different from my girls, I've had more significant food aversions, that's about it.

Well ladies our days of craziness begins in about 15 minutes. We are trick or treating at the zoo, going to two Halloween parties, baking a gazillion cookies for said parties, getting family pics taken and carving pumpkins. Monday brings school halloween parade and parties then of course actual trick or treating so I may not pop back in till Tuesday. Have a great weekend all and Happy Halloween!!

Hey girlies, how you all doing today? congrats on getting married Kris :)
I did my first ovulation test today lol just wanted to share it, :oops: oh it was negative too. I spent ages reading the instructions then staring at the stick, I suppose I had the same sort of anticipation you get when you do a pregnancy test. Pregnancy tests are the only home tests I have ever done before so I was quite nervous. I suppose after you've done it a lot of times the novelty probably wears off right?
I won't be ttc until late December so this is my trial run to see when I ovulate etc I got two periods left to trial run and the diet sway until late December. All this body awareness trying to read my body signs and moods is fun too. I brought some cassava crisps a few days ago just to freak my husband out and I told him they help conceive twins, the expression on his face priceless! :rofl: I still eat them anyway just to scare him! hahaha anyone else been teasing or freaking out their husbands? :bigsmile:

I got a BFN and AF is here so we are done. I stick around for awhile read the pink thread to loose all this weight.I cried a lot last night but it's better today. Hope everyone get a baby boy here!

Oh Flava you can't stop yet!! I was sure November was your month!! It seems very boyish to me....we have to try together for just one month don't we :wink: :hug2:

I can't do any exciting testing yet as I am on day 3 of AF lol.

Symptoms mean nothing at all...all 5 of my girl pregnancies were so different!!

Ok i promise not to look into my symptoms anymore.

So sorry Flava, i said that on the page before, i must have misread someone else's post, i do apologise i was a little early to say sorry. You never know Flava sometimes when people make their final decisions it just happens anyway, my mums tubes were tied & i was conceived!!

Wow you were one determined soul then ;)

I'm sorry Flava. :( I hope you stick around a while. I like having you here.

3P1B, you are having a busy halloween! Enjoy! We went to a kids birthday/Halloween party today (DD1 and I went). It was Pretty fun.

I love Halloween--it's my anniversary! :)

My pregnancies have been the same with all my children. Except for DD2 I got some night time nausea with her.

Sorry to hear that Flava :(
What day did you start AF after m/c? I am just waiting for af to show to ttc.
hope u feel better

Thanks girls, we're very happy. Well except for the fact I was feeling really good in America but get home and my nausea and vomiting came back!

Girls need advice! I am CD 9 today and due to ovulate in 5-10 days. Today is the 4th day in a row of DH releasing. I had read and was told that to release every day and then stop a few days before O... to increase sperm and quality? WDYT?

Congrats on the wedding Kris! So exiting! Where did you get married?

Our first went amazing. Heard out little nuggets heard beat and saw him/her! It was amazing. I am so in love!! Keith, my Dh recorded a video and I have watched so many times. I cry every time i see that little flicker and hear that noise. I wil upload pics for you soon!

Currently laying with Ava and Keith while they both sleep and I am enjoying my quiet time.

Thats what I was planning to do, but I had read to realease every 2nd day but I thought daily would be best. I was then going to abstain for 3 days before O.
Wasn't sure if we should BD everyday from O or more then once a day or every 2nd day.

Yep I think I will go for one shot and see....

How does this sound ?

DH release every 2 days from now until 1 week before O then release every day for 4 days then abstain for 3 days then BD on day of O

Hey girls !
Thank you for all the kind words.So nice...
I was very sad a drunk a bunch of red wine.yeahhh Anyway I never thought this will happen but DH said today he don't to see me sad so we can try again...ok I not sure what to do now...Im on CD3 and was of the diet for like a week.
Is this still could work? Help?
And of course Ruby told me I get a girl in August and this would be an August baby if we try.(I know it's stupid but anyway...)

Just to why Im not sure to do it because I don't want him to say yes just so im not sad...
he said we can be 5little pigs and counting lol .ok whatever dude

Why every day? I thought every second day ? I would do every second day and stop 3 days before BD.
