So, yeah, AF showed today. Rethinking strategy now. I think I'm gonna get some preseed mixed with some bs this time. Still trying to decide about taking the soy this time. It didn't mess up my cycle at all. O'ed early actually. It *may* have messed up my ewcm, but idk that for sure. I know for a lot of people it gave them tons of ewcm! It gave me a VERY strong O, I believe. Have severe O pains for 2 days. I may try it again. What do you ladies think? Maybe it'll be ok with me using the preseed too?

DD2's bday party is Saturday. She turned 2 yesterday! Wondering if it'll be ok to eat some cake and ice cream? Or maybe just the cake? lol

Sorry about AF :(

Begonia, you guys are killing me with your junk food cravings....I always have that too. I think my body wants to stock up on fat right away as it knows it is going to pummel me with m/s shortly after. I love your attitude about not freaking about the kids, and WOW I hope your friend's kiddo is doing well! (And your munchkin, of course.) My DD2 just turned 6 in March. She turns to us last night and says, "Mom, why do they have to make chicken nuggets with buttholes?" DH, DD1, and I all buckled in hysterics. Turns out someone told her they make chicken mcnuggets with the chicken's buttholes, which I am sure is not far from the truth. (Have you guys ever seen SuperSize Me?) But yes, she is a trip. I frequently tell them they can't grow any more and need to stay little forever, and they are like noooooo, we want to grow up! I do hate the thought of not having enough time with them. I am ALREADY getting all anxious about them going off to college.....but at least I cherish every day. I didn't always have that attitude when I was a harried mom with 2 little ones.

True that last comment, Lola. :)

Nope, not having any monitoring.....she just said pop them pills and dtd every other day starting day 10 through day 18 and call her when I know what happened. I mean, she said I don't really need it, but it may help a good egg pop out (or may not), and that it is really unknown if it helps egg quality much, but it will definitely make me pop a solid and mature egg out. I am getting a little more excited, and am glad I am feeling that way. I've had the weirdest time since my m/c in May....a lot of bummed days, not to mention hearing the ex's wife is pg and due when I was. BOO! She is 16 wks now, should be hearing the girls come home announcing gender in the next 4 weeks. Super.

Skrimpy, awesome blog! Glad you are doing well. I totally think swaying does have an effect also. I hope you are right about the bulk helping. I certainly don't look as "fat" as I used to, which is what shocked me with the weight, so I bet I've turned a good bit of the fat to muscle. Thanks for the input! Is your old sway on here? I think I remember reading it on IG. Sorry to hear you have to wait to exercise, but a little more healing never hurt.

TTC5, I hope you feel better soon! FX you have the early preggo sickies like I usually do!

Hey, maybe you could have wee little internal smile in 4 weeks instead. I would hate that situation and so feel for you!

I tested fmu 8dpo and bfn. Still early though, right :)

You just gotta give swaying what you got, that's all I can do at this point also. Getting pregnant and keeping the baby will seem like the greatest gift ever at this point.....so funny how my attitude has changed from a year ago. Back last July, I was studying IG like I was taking the most important exam in my life, and thinking, pffft- this conception thing is no big deal, just worried about how to do this bsf shit! And here I am a year later, not giving a crap about bsf and about to take Clomid. Ah well, such is life! Don't worry if you don't have a fire.....sometimes I think all we just need is a nice simmering log burning under our butts to get along and be ok versus a roaring fire. We'll get there!

I love it! Thanks Lola, I'm so glad you're here!!

Ah.yes....i am with you all....my journey has been 2 yrs now from my 1st ivf/pgd....:(....i took the reverse path...never had any issues conceiving and now i sometimes wonder if i will ever be healthy pregnant with a healthy baby....
yeah have come a long way from swaying hard to whatever....just do what you can ...after all there is destiny...we had almost stopped living our lives with don't eat this and that and what not......end result no baby yet and all FAT!

i am trying hard to get on with life and enjoy what we have....but ttc still keeps hauting me now and then.
my 5 yr hold is who distracts me and makes me laugh.....happy lil people. sometime i feel lucky to have her but still want more...

i see the newcomers so excited to get a +opk.....bd etc....which seems like a routine at this point...
Blah blah....sorry to bore u guys....but i know people here who can understand and venting helps at times..:)

Yep, day 3-7. I read you O anywhere from 5-10 days later, but I think we may dtd every other day like my dr suggested starting day 10, but good idea, I will start opks right away. I bet it will make me O on like cd10 or something. I know, I hope it works, too! Glad to hear the cm doesn't get too affected. We will likely do the preseed or ew anyway....I don't know if I can do ew every other day, might get sick of that shit after a couple times and just do preseed. Did you gals start a pg thread for the blue crew preggos?

Oh, and have you seen FB? Holly is having her baby in a week.....Sarah told me that Nicole had a m/c and is trying again right away, poor gal. She's had it rough too.

---

At least you have an excuse. I married DH the 1st time and I thought it was so cute that I got to balance his checkbook for him. Dear Lord, I had no idea what the really meant for my life. I married him again and there is no excuse, I sure has heck can't blame ignorance. :) I do LOVE my Dh though and I've put a lot of work into him, but it hasn't been easy at all and it still a work in progress. The fact that I'm perfect goes w/o saying. :)

My DH has said he didn't want to do ew anymore and that he didn't like it. I asked him what exactly he was doing to help me sway then since he is no longer taking supps either. All he has to do it do it doggy style and when I ask him to....awwww, poor guy. WTH! LOL!

And OH YEA, you were in the old crew! Kinda crazy that a few of them have had/are soon having their boys. I still wonder what ever happened with Maz on occasion....what her bub came out as after all that worry, bless her.

---

I definitely hope you don't lose you mind if it's a boy ... really it sounds like someone should just sterilize this man :mad: Just remember, better to have no son than to have had one with him, right? What a nightmare.

I really, really hope Maz got her boy after all. I doubt she'll ever go back and post though, especially since most of us are gone and the ol' CBBC thread has no doubt died.

I think finding out at 20 weeks is a great idea if you're still not quite attached to it; hopefully seeing a nice healthy little one, either gender, will help you enjoy the last half. I know this is your last baby and I'd hate for you to have to spend the entire pregnancy without really getting to enjoy it. FX you get there. But vent here anytime, you know we're all going to do our best to support and encourage.

And HOORAY for the new baby coming!!! How exciting to be part of that; what a special friendship the two of you must have. That's awesome.

I bet being in that birthing room will get you excited for sure 3PNB!
