September TTC Boy Chit Chat and Such Thread

TTC5, you are definitely a busy mama also. DH and I both take 200mg of CoQ10.....it is a good antioxidant and great for sperm.

Begonia, thanks also for the encouragement on being busy also. You guys are all right, and Flava, probably just a good idea to get as much sleep as I can and keep up the healthy diet and not worry about it.

I also love the ring idea! I am totally going to do that someday, because I just have one ring, so if that sucker comes off, I won't even have a band. And my ring is vintage so I don't want it cut at all. 3PNB, you should go to Claire's too! I always get way swollen after about 32wks and can only wear flip flops and such, I hate it. Hmmm, that is interesting that you never had this before though.....

And 3PNB, you are very sweet to worry about causing others pain, but you don't.....trust me lady, I want nothing more than for my sweet cyberfriends to have bouncing baby boys (or girls!). And ya know what's funny, for some reason, I get really happy and hopeful when someone gets pg and all is well. So don't worry about that here! You totally deserve to have a wonderful baby this time, and you will! :baby:

Begonia, yes i started the prenatal today. and ttc5 both me and DH take 100mg Coq10 2x a day.
Lola ,no i did not take estradiol,sorry cannot help there. but i do have enough ewcm. i make sure to drink 6-8 glasses of water the week before O and that always helps. so try it consiously. i also do mucinex but only a day or so before O when i get a smiley.

Ok DH told me to get the test and no smiley for me. This means I already O'd or will very soon or what?? Im not good with opk's .
Still have high pH and lot's of ewcm and some O pains.

Lola- you may be right just get some more swimmers up there but if it's already after O then it don't matter right?

Ok I went to research about O and find that I had a long Lh surge this month.
And find this about O :

Research has shown that women ovulate, usually, around 24 hours after their last positive test if they have a long Lh surge(12-36 hours is the time frame, 24 hours being the average). When we refer to a long Lh surge we are referring to one that lasts more than one day. Research has also shown that with a long Lh surge you are more likely to release more than one egg during ovulation.

-Well I guess Then I did not O yet and will during the day today. But hope I only release 1 egg here! I guess only Lola is around to help me out with this so thanks:hug2:
We screwed up this month and I so angry at DH why he had to do this? ( of course he don't know) Everything was going so good!
For sure Im not gonna be sad if I get a bfn this month because I don't think I get a boy with this BD 2 or 2.5 days before O ! And if we do today then that's maybe right on O but only a half day between release for DH ...so I would just let a bunch of girls swimmer up there ??( should I do this anyway??)

I really hope it's a BFN so I can try next month!

I think I will delete this 2 new post because it's just to sad and I don't want to say bad thing about DH but right now Im so very sad about last night.

Flava, i would go for tonight still. Mine was a 2 day cut off, and any extra's can only be a good thing! Hope you get 2 eggs lol!!!

You think I can wait till night? I was thinking that maybe to late...but at least that would be 1 day wait and not just a half.
But again it may be after O by night and it won't matter at all. omg I have no clue anymore.
And no 2 eggs plz 1 is enough!
So you got 2 day cut off ? That's makes me feel better ! thanks

Flava don't forget timing is the least important thing here - I would go again for sure!! His sperm bank would still be ample enough!!

Im not worried about the timing! Im worried about the sperm count! Thinking it will be low because there is only half day abstinence for DH. So do i want to send up all that pink swimmers there? ( im thinking there would be more girls in the group)
But on the other hand O is like right now so this may not matter at all because they would be late to get to the egg anyway. So if I would get a bfp it would be from the BD on CD 15...like a 1 time try.:think::shrug:We also did CD 11 and 13 but I think that is way to before O to hang around up there. DH says he think they are there. Of course he thinks like this about his strong sperms.:sigh:

B- yep my appt is next Friday! Boo for gd test, I've already taken one and will be taking another one in a few more months. I HATE that stuff! Here's the funny thing about the ring, I lost my original wedding band ( luckily not my engagement ring) so dh bought me a new one, it's white gold with diamonds. Over the years my engagement ring wore thin on the bottom and split, it was cheaper to buy a new setting then try to repair my ring. We found a new gorgeous setting we were both completely in love with so we put my original diamond in the center. A few years ago he replaced my old diamond with a bigger one. So I'm currently wearing my replacement wedding band but I still squish on my other one at times. My sil and bil gf have ring envy so I always wear it to family stuff. Yes I'm kinda a bad person lol Anyway I'm hoping once it gets cold my fingers will shrink enough I can comfortable wear it without the muffin top.
Yay for crazy active babies!

Ttc5- omg you're so close to your attempt!!

Flava- i say go for it again tonight! Fx!!

Lola- my BFF got a bfp 12 days after my m/c, watching her pregnancy was so painful for me. I wouldn't want to put anyone through that. I know it's different since this isn't rl but still.

Flava - you've been so amazing this month with your attempt and have made me smile so many times with telling us all about it so I just wanted to butt in and agree with everybody else to say do it again! DTD less than 24 hours apart doesn't mean there are more girl sperm, it just means there are less sperm overall - but you will have less sperm in you (which is what sways pink) if you don't DTD again than you will if you do!! If you still have O pains and EWCM then even better - I say do it as soon as you and DH can :D
