♥ JULY 2011 TTC Boy Chit Chat Thread ♥

LOL, iluv, to your DH and his contributions to swaying. And of course you're perfect! All of us are, I'm pretty sure!

Alexis sorry about the BFN love! They are never easy. Soy is such a tough call ... good luck making the decision! And happy birthday to your sweet girl! I would have a bit of cake and ice cream, especially if she wants you to join in.

TTC5 fear not the BFN at 8DPO! That day is just for fun, right?!?! Tomorrow has a little more hope but still, even 9 is rare. FX you get it though!!!

OH and Iluv I might try acupuncture if my ms gets crazy ... I forgot about it. I've never done it but a friend of mine had GREAT success with it when TTC.

Of course we are almost perfect, B :) I need to do that and yoga but I'm broke for the acupuncturist and too lazy for yoga. I was doing great w/ yoga but DD1 had horse riding during the lesson and it's just been busy. I'm kinda scared and embarrassed w/ my weight to go back, plus I'm sort of avoiding commitment right now. I like not being so busy every day. I have counseling tonight too so I can't go. Bummer.

Iluv bummer you can't fit in yoga! It is hard to schedule things for yourself around things for your kids. I wouldn't trade it but man, sometimes I do miss being able to just up and do something. Now it's all about what they have going on or finding child care. DD1 likes to go to the gym with me but only bc she can sit there and play on the ipad w/o DD2 bugging her, LOL!

I am off to read Skrimpy's blog!

Oh and Cemas, vent away! That's definitely one of the reasons we are all here. Keeping my FX you get a BFP soon; you certainly deserve one.

8dpo bfn but im still holding hope!!

oh man ILUV you have been through it, I am just sending you tons of love and hoping you get a BFP soon!

I agree. Your positive attitude is so encouraging Iluv. I have everything crossed for you :)

The only reason I need Clomid is to make me O so if my cycles keep up like this then I won't even need to see a fertility specialist. I don't know what it's like elsewhere in the world, but here in Australia a OBGYN can only prescribe Clomid.

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.

---

Other than drying up CM I don't see how else Clomid could sway? That's the way I'm thinking and sticking to it anyway. Hopefully the Clomid will give those nice mature eggs a big boost. We were told to BD every second day as well from CD10 onwards.

GL on your appt. I'm sure the reason you have to see a specialist sucks but I'm glad you get great info before ttc so you know how best get your body ready. GL!
