♥ JULY 2011 TTC Boy Chit Chat Thread ♥

Thanks for all the congrats everybody :)
I know I will def feel safer when 14dpo comes and goes with no sign of AF :)

Funniest thing EVER though...after OPKing up ready for next month and getting extras in my order.......ANOTHER package came today with my correct original order LOL so i now have 70 opks and 20 pregnancy tests LOL !!! and because they are so cheap I am not sure it is even worth sending them back to them.....will have to ask i guess :)

TTC5- Hoping for good news for you tomorrow I have my FX for you......

Cheeky, CONGRATS! That looks like a positive test to me! I am sure you can find someone to sell or give those test to if you want to, LOL. Was this your first try?

Iluv, I am SO sorry you are going through this thyroid/weight gain crap....I feel the same way because my belly is definitely poofy now also. I used to be a size 4/6 and now I am almost in a 12! It gets me pretty bummed out also, but I just try to keep focusing on getting pg and telling myself I'll worry about it in a year or so. Which is way easier said than done when you KNOW everyone around you is thinking, man, she's really let herself go or something like that. And you don't feel very sexy anymore. But listen, I had to wait 3 months with the m/c and it went by really fast, so maybe just consider that you will take 2-3 months to let the meds work (if it even takes that long) and then ttc again? I don't know if that jives with your thinking right now, but a few months insn't that bad.....if I was told to wait more than 3, I don't know if I would like that too much, but 3 has not been bad. And you know what, you can even try during that time anyway and see if by chance you get pg, maybe?

Also, want to add that I hope my commentary didn't offend you or anyone either.....I have no idea who this talk show host is but my comment was based on thinking this woman got on the show to bad mouth swaying. I came from the perspective of a woman who is having a hard time getting pg and how irritated it would make me to see someone go on tv of all things to gripe. But yes, Layla, now that you mention that her issues were being distorted by the host and the show, I get what you are saying. Personally, I would never go on a show and talk about anything personal, but that is just my opinion. I do agree with you gals in that everyone has their own issues and demons, and people need to be accepted where they are at. Iluv, thank goodness you didn't go on Dr. Phil, that would have not helped you feel better about the whole situation, I am sure. Or even consider it!

TTC5, maybe this is it! GL for testing again today or tomorrow morning!!!

And thanks for the well wishes for the upcoming try everyone. xxoo

Congrat Cheeky!!! u did it.

ttc5 i am telling you bleedy nose is a very good sign. FX for u

i don't remember who has the thyroid....but my friend with thyroid has 2 boys.

this morning(TMI) i saw a pretty huge glob of white cloudy cm in the toilet after a bowl movement....very weird.
anyone had it at 3 dpo?

Iluv - yep frer is a first response early result. Happy birthday to your girls!! I would never go on TV either, you can't possibly come out looking good. How dare anyone say anything about your child's name let alone a deceased one, shame on them. Sorry this thyroid thing is turning into more problems :(

Tink - so exciting to start your way! Get on that diet, the longer the better.

TTC5 - omg so exciting!

Layla - I think we got and I totally agree that national tv is not the place to discuss something like this. With Opera or Dr Phil maybe because they would treat it with kindness, but in general you're leaving yourself open to look ungrateful and selfish. GD is one of those things that people either get or they don't, if people get it they'll be sympathetic if they don't they'll be cruel. It's not right it's just, unfortunately, the way people are especially when protected by anonymity.
FX for this months attpemt!!

Lola - no offense here! A few weeks after my miscarriage I saw a woman with a cigarette in one hand and a RedBull in the other. Took all I had not to punch her in the face and scream horrible things at her, instead I went off on a huge blog rant about how unfair life is. I think we all get it.

Well ladies my appt is in about 3hrs. I didn't sleep well and am using all my energy to not have a complete meltdown. I hate being so sure in my head something is wrong yet my gut feels all good. Last time I had a gut feeling that something was wrong and apparently I was right. Anyway I'm off to shower and get us all dressed but no the girls aren't coming with me. I need to be able to talk uncensored, they don't know anything more then I miscarried and we are determined to keep it that way. They will be taking care of my bff, she's home from the hospital but can't do much thanks to her c-section so they will be helping her while her dh is at work. I feel bad for them, he has such limited time off he could only take 3 full days off and will be working half days for the next week. Makes me grateful for the position we are in, dh will be taking 2 full weeks off when/if our baby is born and if he does need to check in he has a company laptop so he can work from home. Anyway my girls will be helping while I go to my appt and then I'll pick her mother up from the airport on my way home. Fear not though, I'll be posting here as soon as I'm done texting dh :bigsmile:

3pnb, just take a deep breath and go in there expecting nothing but good news, hun. I know how you feel on so many levels, I know I've said that before.....I had the same bad feeling this last time also, which is why I insisted on an u/s, and voila, nothing in the sac. But today, there is NO REASON that you should assume anything has gone awry. Big hugs and lots of luck today, and post back later! xxoo

Congrats cheeky!! How exciting!!!

I am so afraid to completely start the diet because I don't want to gain weight. I am still trying lose weight...Is it possible to lose weight on the boy diet. I read losing weight sways pink...ahh what a mess. I just feel like i will be uncomfortable pregnant, who know, but then everyone also tells me being a little heavy helps get a boy.

here is DD and I at a b-day party last weekend http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y98...8/62611155.jpg ...I carry most of my weight in my gut and i am Only 5'2 so I just really wanted to get a little more weight off before our attempt. I was so much smaller when I got pregnant with DD that I am afraid It will be really hard this time around with a toddler, and the fact i fell while pregnant and have 2 slipped discs and my hip is blown out. I'm trying to really prepare my body! anyway...hope everyone is having a good day!

I know how you feel. I've gained weight too, I don't even know how much because I haven't weighed myself. But I can notice it in my clothes. I'm 5'2 also and any weight gain can be noticed. I'm in the 2WW so hopefully I get a BFP.

Hang in there, it's for a great cause!

Hey hey blue crew!

Happy birthdays to your ladies Iluv! Your FIL sounds like a rotten apple. Boo to that. But yay to maybe, just maybe, feeling a little pg ... will you test or wait for AF?

Was hoping to see the update already Jen but will not-so-patiently wait until AFTER you've had your appointment :-) Since you can't very well update us before then. Super sweet of your girls to be helping out your BFF! I bet that baby is very well taken care of today.

5 am dying to see you POAS again; AF not showing and all those symptoms?!?! Aaaagrh, it's just too much!

Lola and Jen I think it is interesting that your guts were telling you something last time. I really do believe we have good intuition about these types of things. And Jen I am glad that your gut tells you all is well ... hopefully your head can get there soon.

Tink you're trying in October, right? I think when possible longer is better on the diet so I would say start it in August. You look fab in the photo! I know you said you carry weight in your middle... you know weight in the middle is a sign of higher T ... good for TTC boys.

Leaving early tomorrow for a long weekend with some girlfriends. Will have to fess up on the pg but ah well. It's a group that I'm quite close with so it'll be fine. And they don't live in my area (we all live in different states and meet up 1x a year) so it's not like the beans will be spilled to anyone and everyone in my area thru the gossip train. Looking forward to sleeping in for 2 mornings :happy:

Temp still up there this morning :D Can AF still come without temps dropping, lol? I am too nervous to test now lol
