Bec how many dpo are you?
Bec yeah about 4 days away from O. When will you test?
Pop headaches are the worst, hopefully it doesn't last long. Drink lots of water.
I'm 6-7dpo. FF says 7 but if I go by trigger timing I am 6. I'm not sure when I'll test. I don't really have the urge to test like I have in previous cycles. I don't feel pregnant this time, maybe that's why.
Think it is finally starting to sink in a little that I really AM having a boy.... lol..
Yes you are a lucky duck :) so will this be your last baby or will you try for another later on?Quote:

It's just all been so surreal! After so many girls it is just so weird.. can't explain it LOL
Bec - I am so confused.. I did another test yesterday evening and again this morning and neither time had any ferning at all. And the second line was no different that before - slightly lighter than control line which I am now looking at as a negative. I am assuming that the ferning was something I ate. Definitely going to DTD today, tomorrow and Friday as originally planned and just hope for the best!
Not long to go before you can test. Hang in there!
Can't believe that today is here!! SOOOOOO nervous!
Cinss - definitely DON'T forget to DTD! I have a feeling this is YOUR lucky month :agree:
I am sorry to ask, but what are these tests a couple of you are going for ? I hope nothing serious?
PoP - hope the headaches are subsiding?
TTC5 - can only imagine how surreal it must feel. so happy for you! :highfive:
Babyblessings, good luck!
The test I did yesterday (if that's what you're asking about) is the Gestational Diabetes test.
TTC5, you might change your mind and want another boy once your little guy gets here. What's one more? :wink: Anyway, you are super lucky to be having a boy. Glad you are finally getting used to the idea that he is actually on his way!! :bigsmile:
I just got the package yesterday and attempted to put it on at work, and realized that it was not comfortable on my skin alone, so I am kinda dreading the summer heat with a bottom layer, the splint, and then a regular top over it. I watched some youtube videos on how to put it on and one lady recommended the belly band, which I have, so I may see if that will suffice for the bottom layer. I noticed a muffin on the top and bottom, and am hoping that does go away sooner than later, but you are right, I think I will be more cognizant of doing the exercised and holding myself in properly. I am hoping it makes a difference! I have had the look-pregnant belly for a good year after both babies and again now with the swaying weight gain, and the only thing that made it better was a hard core year of working out daily. Are you going to wear it during this pregnancy? Looks like it would be very supportive with a bump!Quote:

5, hopefully the results come in all good!
Hope your results come back clear, TTC5!
You too, H!
Good luck tomorrow 5. What's one more kid when you already have 5 lol
Headaches much better now but I do feel a bit moody and slightly more aggressive.
I have a job interview on Monday for a promotion in my workplace. I am so torn. It's more money and more room for advancing further in my career. But it means more responsibility, checking emails and taking calls during family time and possibly having to work longer hours on days when I can't get staff to cover shifts. In the long term it's great for me. But my current job I can work 7am -3pm and just walk out and go home, not thinking about work until the next morning. It won't matter so much or look bad if I keep trying and fall pregnant at a time not so convenient for my workplace. The interviews are slightly rigged as our big boss wants me in the role. The hard choice women face....career or family.
Good luck Hobber and TTC5 - really hope all comes bacjk clear!
PoP - do what feels right, good luck with your decision.
Thanks Bec, 1 down, 2 to go ;)))
Thats definitely a hard decision. I work until 5:30 at night and I hate it by the time I leave work pick up the kids and bring them home get them fed and give baths its time for bed and I only have two right now. But my husband works until 12am 4 days a week so I am a single mother those days, if he had normal hours it wouldn't be so bad.Quote:

POP, I just want to say you are such an inspiration :)
I love that you have a career and a LOT of kids. I still long in my heart to have 4, and I am a career woman myself, with the sole income in the house (hubby is SAHD) and a lot of ppl think its crazy that I would want a 4th eventually because I "work"....I get so tired of the concept that if you work full time, ppl think you should only have two kids. It's such BS!
About the promotion, that's a toughie....more money is good, but more responsbility, as far as checking things when you're "off-duty" definitely tricky....the best perk about it is changing into a higher position won't restrict you from TTC'ing your heart out...what is your heart telling you is best?
Pop, good luck with your decision! More money and more freedom to TTC sounds tempting.
Cinss-how many more days to ovulation? are you doing the SMEP plan?
Bec-how many dpo are you now? will you wait until AF is late to test?
Ive lost 2kg woop woop :)
dloui i should O on the 17th, so yeah doing SMEP this time (sort of, it hasn't gone exactly to plan) and i keep forgetting to do opk's i will definatly try to remember to do one this afternoon)
Congrats :)Quote:

Bec any news?
TTC5 so your test came back pretty good?
Pop and Lola what are you up to?
Cinss yes better than we thought anyway! Only .3 in to the "impaired" range so midwife is happy to monitor for now and follow a low GI diet and see if it brings it down a little and FX it does not rise!!
Congrats Cinss that is excellent!!
I am on my last day of Soy today...hopefully it helps bring my O closer...insane to have to wait 3-4 weeks from AF. I sooooo need to fall pregnant this cycle, but I just feel like it's never going to happen.
Dloui I know how you feel totally....my DH works away so I am a single mother most of the time. He is able to come back for our attempts it is just really hard on both of us that week of attempts. Maybe one day this situation will change back to how it used to be....but I am just so used to it now!! I couldn't cope not working, my brain craves the stimulation, and no matter how exhausting it is and how I just would love to sleep in and drive the girls to school....working really completes me! I think it is giving my girls the right values in life too. Being independent, successful and working hard. Makes it all worthwhile....my 11yr old came to me last week and asked for some photo's. I asked her what of? She said "You mummy"...I was like ???? why? She said "Because I am writing a speech on my favourite inspirational person....and it's you mummy :HH: Makes all the hard work worth the effort!!
Awwww Pop that is so sweet!!!!!!!
So sweet PoP :-) And thats great news TTC5
Yay Cinss! fx for you! I hope you will be more successful than I was!
Bec - remember all my confusion at the beginning of the week???
I have been kicking myself and feeling sad since then - It's really starting to look as though I did ovulate then - a whole 5 days early!!!!
I have NO idea why, as my cyles have been spot on for at least 4 months?
So, in the end, my big attempt was actually my attempt to GET READY for my attempt :worry:
We ended up DTD at what looks like *36 hours* (eek!) before I O'd! And prior to that, we had DTD every 2 days.
Looking back, its not nearly as much as I was planning/hoping to do, but in my favour were that I stayed lying down for about 15 minutes after, a fair amount of EWCM although not "tons", big O just before and during (really sorry if this is all TMI), been on supps and HE diet (but only for about 4 weeks).
my biggest irritation at myself is that I feel like I ended up swaying pink by not DTD close enough to O and DTD only ONCE!
I am feeling so disappointed
babyblessings, try not to worry--timing doesn't sway. I got DD2 by DTD on O day.
Hello all. I joined the TTC boy monthly forum a few months back and have been doing the boy diet since and increasing my folic acid as I was wanting to TTC back then but then realised I had not topped up enough on folic acid (as needed when I cut of wheat etc) so now I am hope to TTC this month in June.....here's the start of the attempts anyway!
TTC5 congrats on your blue sway - what are the main changes you made between when you conceived your girls and now swayed blue?
Good luck to all trying and hope that June is a lucky month for a few of us, fingers crossed
Any general advice on timing against ovulation tried swaying blue with Shettles method and ended up lovely and pink DD2, last time BD'ed c.12+ hrs before ovulation so may try to get closer to ovulation timing this time but obviously tricky to tell exactly when I ovulate. I normally get Positive Ovulation test evening of day 17 / morning of day 18 but then temperature rise delayed until day 20?
Welcome back ChitChat123
Well ladies my psychic PoP was right, I'm having a BOY!!!!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...-its-a-boy.gif
Yay...I told ya!!!!
Yay for Dloui! Congrats on your baby BOY!! :DS:
Welcome back ChitChat, best of luck for June. Don't worry too much about timing, but if you really want to incorporate that into your sway you could aim for O-4, O-2, and O day.
Timing is the LEAST important factor :)Quote:
