January 2012 Chit Chat Thread for TTC Boy

Hobber- it is an interesting name choice, we all pretty much hate it. Even my girls think it's dumb lol Thanks Hun, I love the belly too but man is it getting huge lol

Flava - good to hear from you, glad you're feeling ok about not ttc anymore. Sometimes it's just easier to move on.

5 - lots of snot huh lol could be fx 12 days?! Wowsa!

Soni- welcome! Keep working your diet and safe sups that way if you are preg no harm and if you're not you're better prepared for the next attempt.

Skrimpy - thanks for the info!

Holy crap ladies, so excited today! HE TURNED!! Based on the location of the heartbeat and a good belly groping my midwife was sure he was still head up (as was I) but didn't want to schedule the version till we were sure so off to the in office u/s room. She went to where we both thought the head was and low and behold no head, went to the bottom and there it was! She was so surprised she checked three times. Found the head followed the spine, legs and back down lol I can't even tell you how relieved we are!

3P1B- Yeah!!!! So glad he turned!!!!

Hobber- usually when I have to be up and down during the night I see maybe a .2-.3 difference between when I check it later in the morning after I've gotten more sleep...in fact, last night I had been up since 3:30 and it was still the same temp as the day before (97.5) and my typical non-dip temp is up around 97.9-98. But that's just my body, maybe yours is affected more by being up. If it were me, though, I would assume I had Od on cd12.

I have been plugging my numbers into FF from what I've entered on my pink pad app so I could share on here. Hoping to see a temp rise tomorrow since we're going to BD tonight. This would be an early O for me too since I usu O on cd16 and this is cd14. You can also tell how my temps were still high at the beginning due to the chemical preg....they took a few days to get back to normal.

Im on weight loss and it's sucks Im hungry and lazy to workout lol. so it's going slow.

Aw nice, thanks for posting that, Flava! Your body will get used to less food intake and your "stomach will shrink" if you know what I mean. Keep at it, I know you will get back to old Flava body soon. Have you gotten a dvd to do at home or anything? I've seen a couple on tv that look fun....some Brazilian Booty thing and then some Insanity one. They are both like $80 systems. Kinda gimmicky and I bet you could do it on your own, but they look fun and don't take long to do the workouts.

Dang it, I'm always a day behind, but gonna say ITA with this.....you could also just skip this month, which is not anyone's favorite, but think of it as more time to get ready.

I really HOPE I didn't O on CD12... I never have that early before, and if it was early that day, it could have been in a female moon sign! :( That's so lame, because one of the things I was excited about this cycle was that I should have O'ed smack dab in the center of a male moon sign.

Plus, I was drinking ASG and BSD for two days after that! You aren't supposed to do that after O!

Hobbs, FF is of course going by your temps there, and if you were not sleeping well, they can be high because of that. I would venture to guess that you ovulated sometime on Tuesday (CD13) actually, but with your cervix being open last night.....not sure. I don't think it was CD12. But I think you did a good job with the bd timing. Don't worry about the drinks after O, no big deal I say.

Right on! I would do the same thing. I hope your results come out better this time!!! FX

DD was an oopsie and I had no idea I was pregnant till I missed my period. So, I am now educating myself on our cycle, ovulation, etc. We wanted to start TTC next month in Feb and I was using OPKs to try to figure out my O day. We did bd 24 hours after I got a +ve OPK because I got really excited and did not want to miss a month of TTC.
Now I am a little bummed that I did not give my body enough time to prepare for a boy sway. I am currently on DPO2 and this waiting game is driving me batty!
Thanks so much for listening! You are a great bunch of ladies here :)

Hey Soni! Welcome over. There have been a lot of good oopsies on this site lately, if it makes you feel better! (Mostly with the girl swayers.) I'm 3dpo so we can go batty together. :pray:

Turning Your Breech Baby>

This mom wanted advise on making a c-section with her LO more "natural" if the babe didn't turn:

"Natural" options during a c-section

Sorry so quick gals! Busy week!

Welcome to the new Swayers!

Skrimpy, re:natural c-section tactics, when I had my DD1, I attempted natural labor and did so...it was awful back labor, she was OP....for about 33 hours before they made the c-section call. When they pulled her from me, she had a killer cone head and according to a nurse did better than normal c-section babies because of the labor right after birth. She said the same thing you did about that helping them out. Just thought I'd throw my experience in there!

No, it was open still the night of CD13. But it is definitely closed today (CD15).Who knows? Yahmama, it was more than just beong up a bunch. It was that I was actually awake and laying there about 1/2 hour before I took my temp. I am not sure what that means. I also slept like crap ( you know that kind of fitful sleep where you wake up every few minutes). I had another similar night earlier in the cycle and it was my highest temp all cycle. Who know, I guess there is no telling, I just wanted this cycle to be perfect and then my stupid body had to throw a wrench in it!
