OOh and meant to say i feel the same way as dh.
ELP! The nub guessers are all saying boy!!! I am so excited for yoU!!!
WP... I would keep testing. I think if you got a + from a test, it is probably just a matter of time before the other tests pick it up! COngrats!!
Flava, what was so bad about your attempt last night? I hope your next attempt goes better!! YOU CAN DO THIS!! MAKE YOUR BABY BOY!!!!
Have any of you ladies been drinking Alka Seltzer Gold? Does anyone know how much BSD and COT I can drink along with it?
Sorry Tink! :( But you can be really ready for your next attempt!!!Quote:

Tink, yay for being 4 weeks then, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world for you to have a beverage or two.
Still no AF....
Lola, still no AF? THat's nuts! Maybe you have a Mr. Lola Jr. in there??
Just checking for the AF/no-AF saga of Lola ... and of course, hoping for no AF and a BFP .... oh that would make my whole month, I swear!!!
And looking for the update on Flava too ... how are the OPKs? Did you BD last night? FX for you!
Hobber I did ASG 1x a day AF-O but only the cycle I tried to get pg. I also did 1/2 tsp of BSD 1x a day. And I did ACV, 2T, 2x a day.
Tink, sounds like your timing for your attempt will be perfect next month!!
AFM I'm dying to know what I'm having, LOL. I am NOT cut out for waiting. I WANT the surprise, I think it will be amazing, but how on earth am I supposed to wait that long?!?!? I think if I find out I can see myself being like "ok. so I know now. Whoop de doo." And if it IS a boy, I'll kind of wish we waited til birth for that amazing announcement.. though lately I don't think we'll hear boy, I think it is a girl. Last night DH was like you know if you really want to find out of course you can ... but I know how badly he has always wanted to have the surprise and so I really want to hold out for him. But it's soooo hard. I wish I had at least gotten a nub shot. All I have to obsess over is Ramzi and I really don't think that matters at all.
It's going to be a looooooog 25 more weeks!
Hey girls
Im also stalking Lola and WP here! hope it's a bfp!!!
begonia- no BD last night we do every other day so today and I hope I O after tomorrow and that is 1 more then.
Im the same like you! We always find out before and never had a surprise baby .This will be the last chance to do it so I really want it. BUT what if a miracle happen and it's a boy?? Would be so awesome to know Im pregnant with a boy !!!
And also do my dream room for him. I think it's so good when the room is done and not everything is yellow white and green.(or so) But the surprise is awesome too and there maybe no GD then if it's a girl.
Waiting to hear about Lola this morning. :D
I'm getting anxious girls! My attempt is coming up. Hoping my O is not delayed or anything due to the chemical. I am not having a full on sway this time. Still doing the lemon water, bananas, tomatoes, and potatoes and some V8. Keeping my blood sugar up and making sure to eat healthy. Going to the gym this time lol. I decided not to take my EPO this cycle. Maybe I need a break from it and if need be maybe it'll work for me next cycle. Still taking the fish oil, folic acid and all that other stuff. Also added in the baby aspirin once a day.
I'll be taking an opk in about 20 mins. It was positive this time last month. FX!!
I am so sorry to be a downer, but yesterday I took a FRER and it was neg....then right before DH comes home (I was going to tell him the good news) Af came full force and then some. I was at a loss to begin with, it was in the evening....all the children were in bed and it was so quiet.....just me crying on the tile bathroom floor. But like I said, I don't stay down long.....I am counting my enormous blessings.....an awesome DH, 6 children that I can love and hold anytime I want, and soooo many other things. The little bean just didn't hang on quite tight enough. The only thing DH said was "Well, it must have been a boy....they have a higher m/c rate, right?" I guess he has been listening as I pour out all this info to him. I just hope the nausea goes away completely by tomorrow....just a bad reminder....time to move on.
I had this happen once before, the month before conceiving DS1. I started to spot at 5wks and went to the ob...they assumed I was never preg and had imagined a line on my test....yeah come on, anyway long time ago.
Is there anything different I can do to help with implantation?
Oh WP!!! :( I'm so sorry for your loss!! It is devastating to get all excited and then have it crushed. I do know exactly what you're going through :( It seems to be going around a lot lately.
My doc told me to take a low dose baby aspirin once a day everyday. Supposed to help the uterine lining. Also I've increased my calcium/dairy intake significantly. I read somewhere (I'll have to look it up again) that you need adequate calcium intake to get pregnant and prevent m/c. I am officially off the boy diet this cycle and while I'm not really a dairy person typically, but that is why I've increased my dairy now. I'm at the point of wanting to get pregnant and not worrying about gender.
:hugs: WP. Dh does make an intriguing point there... regardless, I am so sorry for your loss :sad: FX this is like the month before you got pg with your DS1 and you have a nice, sticky blue bean soon.
Alexis, FX for you! Keep us posted. FWIW I believe full fat dairy should be very much a part of the blue sway. The Oxford study showed more boys born to the women with a high intake of calcium. And full fat dairy is excellent for fertility. I think overall it is great that you added it in.
Flava it's funny isn't it, because like you I'd LOVE the surprise! But getting there is HARD! And I agree ... if I knew it was a boy, I'd have such fun getting a room ready for him. But ... if it is a girl, it will be so sweet holding her in my arms on her birthday. I just wish I coulda gotten a great nub shot so I at least had a hint to hope on, ELP's has made me all kinds of envious :mad: Envy about the nub shot, not the boy, I'm super happy for you ELP!
Honestly I can see why Babydes backed off the forum because it can make you think MORE about gender than you otherwise would. I am sure if I wasn't hanging out here I'd be less obsessed.... but I'm too invested in all the gals here to leave!
WP, I am so sorry!! :( What a rotten thing to have happen.
Flava, good luck tonight!! I am thinking of you!! I hope DH sends in a bunch of blue swimmers!:bluesperm::bluesperm::bluesperm::bluespe rm::bluesperm::bluesperm::bluesperm::bluesperm::bl uesperm::bluesperm::bluesperm::bluesperm::bluesper m:
Begonia, I have to say, the only baby that I found out gender with was my 3rd. It was not nearly as fun of a birth, since we already knew what she was. I also had GD, which made the whole pregnancy suck. My first two were delivery room surprises, and I HIGHLY recommend it!! Way more exciting.
Lola, any news?
Alexis, I think your plan sounds good. Lots of people are doing the full-fat dairy.
Has anyone had any issues with hair loss after starting all the supps? My hair is falling out like CRAZY!! I can't think of what else could be causing it. It fell out after the baby was born, but then seemed to get better. Now it is bad again.
Also, a question about DHEA. Who is taking it? Is it good for the boy sway, or just good for fertility? I got some, but haven't taken it yet because of the scary warning on the back about causing facial hair and hair loss (which I am already having without taking the DHEA!!!)
WP- Im so sorry for AF:sad: I also lost 7 and sometimes I cry for it still....
hobber-thanks ! I sure hope we have lot's of xy up there this time. Isn't it funny? I was just thinking yesterday that we have them in up there. There are right there hanging out!!! All we need is to 1 xy to jump in that egg first.
I better tell my egg don't she dare let a xx in this time!:nono:LOL
Oh Im taking DHEA 50 mg. No hair problems for me.
:bighug:WP, I wish I could give you a big hug. So sorry you are going thru this.
hey ladies Im on my second day of af and Im having major.blood clots...i have never experienced anything like this. it really freaked me out. any advice? im thinking of calling my.doctor just to make sure.
Thanks guys for the support.
Is baby aspirin the same as baby tylenol?
No I don't think it is. The kind I have is Bayer Low Dose "Baby" aspirin. It is 81mg and I take one per day. My OB said lots of women take this to help the uterine lining get ready for implantation. I found it at Walmart on the aisle with Tylenol and Advil.Quote:

Tink- I'm not sure. Hope all is ok though, that would worry me too.
Hobber- No hair loss here. I think mine is actually growing for a change.
ELP- What sweet pictures of your baby!
Thinking of you Lola, I spied your chart mama. :hugs:
Lola- Im so sorry for AF!:sad::bighug:
You know I read that for professional dancers is harder to get pregnant. Now this was about the woman dancers but maybe it's true for mans too?
I have Q ! Do fertile-cm delay O?? I thought I will O tomorrow but still no sign. Low monitor and no smiley test. ( I can see the strips a little darker blue buy that's it) So I stop taking fertile cm today.
Im happy because tomorrow is full moon and we will dtd again , but don't want to O days later!
Oh last night BD was ok.:owl::p I thought it's gonna be bad again but it was ok at the end.
Thanks Hobber, this is super encouraging! I have to say I do really want the surprise. I still might find out though, LOL. I had a dream last night where I went to find out at a private scan, and heard it was a boy, and instead of getting all excited I was mad at myself for ruining what would have been an awesome delivery surprise. So I don't know ... deep down I really would love to have that experience. And again, I'm not going anywhere, but I'm certain if I wasn't hanging out here and didn't have all of you to share the news with, I'd be able to stand the wait much more. None of my friends IRL are TTC or pg, so this is really the place that makes me think about it more.Quote:

And I thought I will O early haha
Tink, I always get clots with AF, and I never realized it wasn't "normal". But if you are worried, ask your Dr, maybe?
Lola, Sorry for AF!! :(
Begonia, glad you aren't going anywhere. We like having you around! :)
Flava, did you see the post on the Harvest moon?? I think you will O that day--Woo hoo!! Fertile CM didn't make my cycle too long. I took it 3x a day this month after AF, and I O'ed on Day 12, when I normally do 14-16! Weird?
No clue about harvest moon! I try to find that post.
I find it wow so cool! Oh please let me get a blue bfp!:pray:
I have my fingers crossed for you. Flava!!Quote:

Well at least it's full moon tonight and from now on so that's good! And we have another try tonight:p
I'm on Flava :) New mon, new moon, new moon yay!!!! You made it to the new moon! Thats got to be a good sign hasn't it!! Have you looked up what moon sign it will be just to be extra superstisious lol:) I'm so hopeful for you! I see no reason for it not being perfect little man time for you:agree:
I just looked it up for you Flava!! Your not gonna believe this but at 7am the moon moves into 'Aries-the strongest male moon'!!!! Exactly the same moon that my bump was conceived in!! Its a sign, without doubt its a sign:suprise::bluecheer: And it lasts for 2 1/2 days!!

You may have to change the location somehow as its set for London:)

What new moon? NO full moon! yeah! (well it's new full ok I get it now) LOL
OMG I thought Aries is a girls sign I write it down some years ago and put it to the wrong side !
This is great I never had this lucky month ! Now I just need to O and a bfp! PLZ!
ELP- you got full moon and Aries too? wow that's cool!I have the same calendar lol
I know not everyone is affected by the moon and so and I maybe be not but it makes me feel good anyway.
And it's just feel so good that you guys are happy for me.:awe::hug2:
Anyway tonight we are on again!:owl:
I told DH to get a monster drink so he wont be so tired and sleepy.:rolleyes:
Hope it's works! he never drink one before but I read that others used it so...
LOL, thats what I meant!! Full moon, full moon!!!:oops::rofl:
And it is just nice having that little extra bit of something covered isn't it:) I wonder what the solar flares are doing? while we're being random:bigsmile:
:omg:THEY ARE MASSIVE!!!!!! Well the biggest I've ever seen it show lol!!! So thats your ions covered if you believe in that aswell!!!!!!I'll keep an eye over the next few days but we want to see lots of red!!:agree: Mine were low green!Quote:

I have no clue about solar flares at all. Looks like today is yellow? What is that? But I may O tomorrow or after that no color for that days yet. Ohhh I really hope tomorrow because the day after is taurus at 20:24 pm. Ok I can O before 8 pm !LOL
Anyway at least for sure in full moon !
It's not like I believe in ions much Im just happy for the moon because it never happened before . (for me)
But the bio chart is all girl !:rofl:
Funny about this bio chart if you look at charts that show the whole month it's all red.But there are charts that shows day by day and the you got all the colors every day.
So I guess I don't care about biorhythm.
Flava-I may be Oing today/tomorrow as well! Hope this full moon/solar flares are good for both of us to get our BLUE BFP!!!
So, I got my +opk this morning at 10am and a temp drop. Hoping today is my O day! We dtd yesterday morning, will tonight, and (depending on temp tomorrow morning) will tomorrow night too! Yay!
Question: anyone ever get only one +opk and have that be on O day? I'm just curious with my opk today AND my temp drop (at my usual O temp). Usually my opk is + for one or two days before O? I guess I'll know for sure tomorrow with whatever my temp is!
Hey gals, had a really busy weekend and could barely pop on.
WP, I am so sorry about the chemical, honey. It sucks and I hate how it gets your hopes up for a few days. I hope you are doing ok, girl. xxxxxxxoooooooo
Flava, hope your bding has gone well and you are feeling confident about your try!
Tink, did you get any answers about your crazy AF? I would also recommend taking the baby aspirin in the 2ww if that is the case. My doc has had me on that in the 2ww for a while. I have a very un-clotty AF now myself. So, trying soon eh?
How's everyone else doing?
So yea, I had AF come on Saturday, it was not cool. I am fine, just each month that goes on makes me slip deeper into a WTF/hopeless mentality. But, DH did the SA this morning, so we'll have the results on Friday I think. And poor guy, right when he was about to get it done after I left for work, I got a call from DD2's teacher saying she barfed all over the place and he had to go get her (he's off on Mondays), so he had to do his "business" while she was there watching tv and go with him to drop it at the lab. I am sure he just loved toting a little carton of jizz around while with her. LOL
And I'm on Clomid round 3 now, starting today. Let the hot flashes begin again. Know what is weird though, some mom at the studio asked me if I was pg yesterday, and I told her no, but I was on a "fertility" diet that is making me gain weight. She goes on to tell me that she has two teenage kids, and then had 5 m/c and ttc for like 4 years in between, and then she got pg when they weren't trying and had dropped the Clomid and were really giving up, and then got pg AGAIN the month after she was born!!! There girls are 10 months apart, crazy huh? Anyway, she didn't give me the whole "just stop trying and relax" bullcrap, but just said that you never know when it will happen, but if you give up, you have no chance. She made me feel better.
Anyway, I am busier than a one-legged man in an ass kicking contest at work now, so I will try to stay up with everyone when I check in in the morning!!!
I checked out your chart....I think you gotta wait and see what your temp is like tomorrow. Sometimes the O day temp is a slight bit higher than the drop. Mine usually drops the day before I O, and then is like midrange on O day. But, you are dtd plenty, so you'll cover it! I wouldn't worry about it too much. GL!!!!Quote:
