Yikes, but now you make me want to take one! :/
Surgena, the only girl my sister had was because of a condom misshap! So maybe you just got your girl, lol.
Katie, I think it would be soooo cool if you had an oct baby around the time of Oct 7th in honor of your grandma! Birdella (I hope I spelled it right!) is so cool and unique, I totally think you could pulll that regardless if things lined up right, but if they did, how extra cool would that be?
Mocha, I think your temp rise is so awesome! I still feel you'll get your BFP! Jamie, I love your company, please stay around and delight us with your preg symptoms once they start getting stronger! We can obsess about gender as well :)
Jen, thanks for asking! I am thinking I may have O'ed late or early, or not at all, so given that I have no idea how many dpo I am (assuming I did O at some point), I'm not going to test, just gonna chill and enjoy things and see if AF comes. I'm totally relaxed and cool right now about everything. Those evil temps out of context of a whole cycle really made me feel miserable, but once I stopped them, I just feel like anything could happen, a BFN or even a BFP.
However, I told my husband that I wanted to take a break from TTC until April, for two reasons: A) I am 200 lbs and 5 foot 7. I am the most heaviest I've been. While I have lost some weight on the diet, it keeps coming back very fast when I take a cheat day or two. My body seriously does not want to give it up. So I am going to excerise until April to try to lose 30-40 lbs hopefully, if not more. I gain about 30 lbs exaclty each pregnancy, and I do not want to be 230 when I deliver, nothing wrong with that, but...I had a long soul searching session with myself, and I know it would bother me.
B) Our baby is just 8 months old, still not crawling, is sweet and smiling but generally a hand-full. He is very hands on, and demands a ton of attention. I think dealing with all day yuck during the first trimester and him would be too much. I was just so blinded by my desire to have a daughter and the fact that my husband was so willing that I threw everything out the window.
So I'm definitely gonna be here for ya'll and join all the pink swayers thread until our attempt in April...i'm excited about April, it's mine and DS2 birth month, and he'll be 1, and hopefully walking by then (or crawling, lets hope)....
Baaaah! I'll go take one!
It's getting harder for me to want to stay in the swaying. I want a girl but I also want a baby born before 2013... The number 13 has always been bad for me. I am not into the whole bad luck thing but lets just say the worst things in my life happened around the number 13.
I have been staying away from this forum just so it doesn't make me sad to see everyone else getting bfps and having their DG... I am about to give up on the swaying and just focus on getting pregnant.
With the exception of my great grandmother, I've never heard it before either. They called her Birdie!!Quote:

I am CD8. Started RepHresh on CD5 and will use it every 3 days leading up to our attempt to keep PH down. DH started FR on CD5 as well. He is releasing am and pm and also started licorice root 450mg 3 x day. I started the Saw Palmetto on CD7, cause I was just able to find it in the store. Not sure if the licorice and saw palmetto will help, but they could not hurt right LOL! Having an after AF dicharge like all the AF is still lingering in there, so might do a vinegar douche to clean things up (TMI, but what do you all think). I went shopping and got lots of HPTs and OPKs, SYLK, CBE monitor sticks and Phion PH testers. I am thinking of doing at least 5 attempts this cycle O-3, O-2, O-1, O (maybe not O?) O+1 using a little SYLK, Benedryl and hot showers before. Maybe a Diva cup too. Not sure but may skip Diva and do JAD? or maybe leave things be since the RepHresh and SYLK? Maybe I should not use SYLK I mean we are 37 and 40, and I have anemia, Vit D deficiency, as well as thryoid levels unbalanced? Or maybe I should skip it all and just DTD LOL!!! Any ideas are much appreciated.
well i tend to be a late ovulater (sp?) With the other boys I ovulated cd 19, when I stopped nursing Logan, I ovulated that month cd 19 and then last month cd 17 I got a positive opk and then the next day was negative and the day after that I had another positive test. So I don't know if I ovulated 2 times? And that was why I had 2 positive tests clear as day as dark as that line, it was weird. That was cd 17 and cd 19. So I am guessing sometime at cd 17 or cd 19Quote:

So many wonderful posts and so much support!
Katie..your names are cute and I love Birdie!
KD, I think supplements can't hurt but it seems so many women use rephresh and douche and nothing happens. I did use rephresh but I am not sure how much came out.
OOTB, maybe you can help her out. Did you overkill on the rephresh or do you think maybe this was just not the month for you?
purplepoet..I can't sway anymore.
I am eating cereal, chips and dip......maybe it is PMS though that is getting me down!
I am due for AF tomorrow. Does anyone know...can you use OPK as a pregnancy test?
I think the vitex messed with mine too lol. I normally have a 29 day cycle nope not this past time af came 2 days 2 early!
But... that's a good thing, I think... that it has fudged with my perfect cycle a little.[/QUOTE]
aww Birdella - growing on me! It would definitely be unique in this era!
auroara - hope you can lose the weight - losing it sways heavily pink anyway. Will you lose it before TTC again, or wait?
PP20- don't think of it as 13, think of it as 2013 - a completely different number!
Lemon & OotB - thank you both. OotB - good luck for BD-week ;)
Ttcad - yay! welcome!
Katie - we're the opposite, our girl name is set in stone but we struggle to pick boys names that we agree on and that go with our surname. There are simply no boys names that we *love* although a few that we *like*.
When we picked William's name it was just one on a shortlist of 5, and I still feel bad that neither of us loved any of those 5 names. Of course the name has grown to become him and I love it for that now, and it does suit his nature. He is VERY wilful.
sorry if I've missed anyone
Ok so I have a question about the repHresh, my period started yesterday it should end thursday.
If I start Friday, when do I have to take it again?
Just POAS... not pregnant, phew. Out of the Blue... you scared me! Hah!
I think OPK's can be used as HPT. Here is what the peeonastick.com site says about it: Pee On A Stick ~ OPK's as HPT'sQuote:

Are you also waiting til April because it is the best month to conceive girls? I was just reading this on another site and was actually thinking of waiting till then as well, but I also saw that more girls are conceived in March, April and May, so maybe we have three good months a year? Anyone have any ideas on this being true?
every 3 days, so MondayQuote:

It's fantastic to see this thread so busy but I can't keep up! Good luck to each of you trying in January xxx

how long are your cycles?
They used to be 28 days like clockwork, now every 26-29 days... though over the past couple months they've been pretty consistent at 26.
Hey Zan,...don't go anywhere....!
I dtd on o day just like you...I am cd 14 and just waiting for pg or af...just wondering when you get your bfp and what symptoms you had.
Not that they would compare but,...well, you know how it is with all the thinking and over thinking!!!!
Drives me crazy!
Hope you are doing well and enjoying the little princess bun in the oven!
Sorry Katie....good luck...your attempt is just around the corner!
I posted my symptoms here lemon!
http://genderdreaming.com/forum/2ww-...-symptoms.html
I think my BFP was at 9dpo - if not it was at 10dpo! Good luck that this is your month!
Well I have just come on here and there is pages and pages of posts i had to catch up on!!! So many of us this month so nice to be going through it together!!
Out Of The Blue.... D/H is doing great although he said to me it has to be only once a day because he just could not do twice a day, tho on day of attempt he said he will release in the morning and we will dtd that pm.!
Only 5 days to go for me I cant wait i wish it would hurry up and get here!!! My Rephresh problems have settled now, I guess until i use it again anyway!
So if af is here Katie when will you be due to o??
Is anyone else due to O around the 8th??
mocha, your chart is looking fantastic!!!! fingers crossed for a new years BFP..:)
I know! It seems like every time I check in there are SO MANY posts to read through. I love it. :)Quote:

OMG, ladies - I go offline for a day and suddenly there's 3 new pages of posts!! I haven't yet read them all in detail, but I just wanted to give everyone an update. First of all, Jen - don't tempt me to POAS tonight ;). Believe me, I've thought of it about a million times, but I haven't held my pee at all anyway, so I think it would be a waste of an expensive FRER. I have a couple cheapies I could use but they're the crappy ones that didn't show a BFP until 4 days past my FRER last time, so I doubt they'd be able to tell me anything.
And lemon - I think you asked me about the due date? It would be September 15th - I'm such a geek I always look that up immediately. Have you tested yet???? Sorry if you already mentioned - I haven't read all the posts yet.
I've been REALLY crampy all day and felt so wet down there earlier I thought maybe af had arrived. I was scared to death when I checked, but now it's sort of sticky/watery cm. I'm worried I'm getting my hopes up too much for this BFP. I really feel pregnant - I've felt queasy all day, though I haven't eaten much so it might have just been that. When I look back at some of my older charts, I've had high temps like this before and still not gotten a BFP.
I'm home now, so I can get back to eating normal diet stuff...but hopefully not for long :bigsmile:
Don't worry, ladies - I'll be testing first thing tomorrow and you'll be the first to know (probably even before dh since he wakes up later than me)!
You've got me wondering! Can't wait to find out tomorrow. :)
will be checking for your update mocha...:)
Dannikins......if your boys are this cute, seriously,......you can keep having babies, boy or girl, they are absolutely beautiful and charming!
Good job! A girl would complete this pic and I can only imagine how sweet she would be, but honestly, your boys are sooooo handsome!!!
LMAO.,......TMI,........NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Quote:

I forget that I'm talking to women who know what I'm going through!! I'm used to friends who get weird if you even mention AF. I'm thinking tomorrow will most definitely be CD1.
dannikins -- look at those handsome boys!!!!
Hello Mocha....I checked my due date....ugh, September 11th, sorry but that is not exactly my favourite date for obvious as well as personal reasons!Quote:

I still have sore bbs and no AF yet!
I tried an OPK, nothing to a slightly faint line but it cannot be trusted.
I feel a bit queasy as well....but travelling and eating too much etc.
I have been bad with some wine, food, etc. A normal holiday for me, but who knows what is happening down there!!!
Mocha,...OMG I went to the bathroom expecting AF and it was creamy cm....?????
We so have to plan playdates with our baby girls......lol, but that would rock!!!!!
Hope you enjoyed your moms and your own bed!!!
Will you bd just for fun now that you are home...hahha, kidding!
I will be CHECKING in tomorrow!!!!!
thanks lemon...:)
and TMI? are you for real...lol... i didnt think anything was TMI on here, thats what makes it so great....:)
nothing is taboo, i have seen ladies talking about far more detailed stuff than that.
i think every one needs to stop saying (sorry TMI), its these extra details that make it such a comfortable place to be.
Honestly Katie, the same message applies to your sweeties as Dannikins!
The little one,...precious!
Aidan looks mischevious and Colin looks like an awesome big brother!
Sometimes I start asking friends about stuff and it does not go over well, they get so uncomfortable.
Even my doctor thought I was crazy when I said OPK...oops, I meant Ovulation predictors!!! lol
I TOTALLY AGREE ABOUT TMI,.....and you are welcome!Quote:
