I have been thinking about Daisy's story have not been able to get it out of my head actually how horrific. There have been a couple of similar ones here. These stories affect me so much more now that I have kids of my own. That poor darling baby...
I can't even concentrate reading the other posts after that. How awful.
I hope you guys are all well and Flava welcome over here. Sounds like you will be attempting before me. GL.
@ Begonia - I read earlier that you were feeling down and really feel for you. I know how it is when your hopes are dashed. I really do hope and pray that you get your :DS:
@ WashingtonPromise - So sorry about the BFN....don't give up!
@ Lola and EVERYONE -
I've started a new thread on the Gender Swaying Forum regarding EGS MSU for those who are TTC boy, so please come and join me here:-
EGS MSU TTC Boy...JOIN ME!
Thank you so much ttcboy! I really hope the same for you! I peeked on your EGS thread and it looks like Flava might be able to give you some good tips and info.
Iluv I'm glad the u/s looked good! Great news! And I'm glad you're getting the weekly appointments. The homeschooling is a huge commitment and I'm impressed that you do that for your kids... we have to make so many tough choices as parents that I never really considered before having my own kids.
DD2 is putting peanut butter on the dog right now so I expect this is when I should go parent her.... that child :mad:
Welcome b3blue, ttcboy and lisanjrose!
Layla, Alexis & WP sorry about the bfn's
Spicy- hoowoo! congrats on the bfp!
B- I hate preg dreams! W/dd1 I dreamt I gave birth to kittens :rofl: I basically had to beg dh for this baby, he was 100% happy with his 3 girls. He knows once it's here he'll be thrilled but making the decision was hard for him. I think your instincts for a girl are fear based. I honestly believe the only way you can trust your gut is if you are truly free from desire. I knew #1 was a girl at 8wks but we did not care, since then I've been positive it's a boy and well 2 and 3 are most certainly not lol
Iluv- hooray for stopped bleeding and your u/s today! I forget did you see the heartbeat?
Lola - So excited to be obsessing about symptoms with you again!! I may be joining you in the next month or so complaining about universal injustices when my bil and his useless gf find out the gender of their baby. I'm already preparing myself for them to have a boy and us a girl :(
Daisy - no words, absolutely no words :(
Alexis - I never tried epo but fish oil gave me crazy amounts of cm!
Jane - fwiw I had no symptoms before my bfp, in fact I had no symptoms till 6wks! I was positive af was coming, I tested at 12 dpo because my bff harassed me lol
ttc5- yay for the gym and feeling better! ooh update me to bfp swayer too :kiss:
Happy to see you Jen! Great point about the gut thing ... I didn't really think about it from that perspective but I do agree. FX for a great appointment for you tomorrow with another view of your bean :happy:
Yes I too want to obsess over symptoms with Lola!!! Bring 'em on lady!
Saved the dog from MOST of the peanut butter ... our poor dog... DD2 really loves her aggressively :worry:
Hey ladies!
Begonia, your kid rocks! Hope you are feeling better today. Damn those pg mood swings.
Alexis, B is right, the royal jelly and bee pollen are just chocked full of excellent nutrients, which sways blue big time. They are fertility boosters. And the Vit E helps with your uterine lining, and again, is just a good thing to take when swaying blue. I don't know if they affect your cm much, but they certainly add to your nutrient intake. Do you know about the rj/bp? I hate to reiterate if you do, but this is probably good info for the board in general:
Royal Jelly: This nutrient dense substance is a secretion that comes from glands in young worker bees, and is used to not only create a queen bee for procreation, but is also fed to honey bee larvae to provide them with optimal health and growth. Royal Jelly is rich in amino acids, lipids, sugars, vitamins, and most importantly, proteins. It contains high levels of vitamins D and E, and also has ample levels of iron and calcium. As all of these are essential to proper health and organ function, it is very easy to see how Royal Jelly can help with in assisting with fertility.
Bee Pollen: see this article, it's long- http://www.nutritional-supplement-tr...-benefits.html
I would say these two are some of the oldest boy swaying supps there are. Ladies who are doing IVF and dealing with infertility take them, so you can see why they are great for swaying blue.
ANYWAY....
Ttcboy, great new thread! I hope you get some ladies who answer. I know you don't want to hear about how it is not supposed to be any better, and I think if you want to try it, go for it....but just know that there aren't too many on this site who do that anymore. Not that we don't want you here, but just so you don't feel like no one is answering! Anyone who is, or has tried will certainly see your thread though, so good job on that.
ILuv, great news about your nice fat sac! LOL So glad all looks ok, and I agree with B, you are lucky to have weekly appts to keep your mind at ease. I am glad to hear that my don't worry mantra made you feel better. I am a worrier/obsesser/ general type A personality, so I HAVE to just take lots of deep breaths and repeat that to myself so I don't go insane. :bigsmile: What are you going to SoCal for? Have a good trip!!!
Hopeful, I think it is a great idea to take August off and heal and chill. Another month for you to become a boy machine. I hope your wrist is healing up and you are feeling well, hun.
As for moi: 5dpo. Picked huge fight with DH last night. It's a good sign for me. Sigh. :drama:
I opted for 2 big posts instead of one giant one :bigsmile:
I'm 13 wks tomorrow and can't say I'm not completely freaking out. For you new ladies here's my abridged story.
I got a bfp in Aug last year, I was pretty sick but having a normal pregnancy. Had my 10 wk appt and all was well. I went to bed at 12wks 6 days feeling great, nausea had lifted over the last few days so I was pretty happy. I woke up very early the next morning with wet panties (I now know my water had broken). I went into the bathroom to check/change my panties, when I wiped there was blood, a lot of blood. As I sat I could hear it running into the toilette, not dripping, running. Within 90 minutes I had blacked out three times and was in the ER. My arrival bp was half of normal, just above coma. U/S determined my uterus was empty but some left over tissue was the problem, my body was desperately trying to flush it out. While hooked up to machines, an IV and laying flat on my back I blacked out again, dh though I was dying. I was rushed away for an emergency d&c with the warning if they couldn't stop the bleeding they would have to take my uterus, I was 32. I woke an hour later missing 1/4 of my total blood but gratefully in tact.
Tonight is the equivalent night that that happened. I know it's irrational thinking that it could happen again as I only had a 1-2% chance of it happening in the first place, but I can't help it. I've been having trouble sleeping for the last week. I'm a little scared to go to bed tonight so I'll be taking something to help me. I have an u/s tomorrow, I just hope my little friend is still ok and I can relax soon.
Oh, you gals know I will gladly obsess! LOL But I so not getting my hopes up yet. I do have the same bd pattern that got me pg both times before, took the Clomid, and DO feel things are afoot in the old uterus/fall tube region. My nips hurt, but I don't have the huge aching boob thing yet. I have some of the yellow CM, but since I take a progesterone suppository up the vag, I can't really tell. (Yes, I have to wear panty-liners all day, every day. It sucks.) Other than that and fighting with DH for no good reason.....really, I made him cry last night, I am such a b%$#h at times in the early weeks when my hormones are surging. So, those are my signs. I don't have the cold yet, which I have gotten before, but I am still taking all of my vitamins, minus the DHEA, so hopefully I won't get it.
3pnb, EXCELLENT point about the gut feeling. I had a gut feeling about #1 being a girl, but #2, I told everyone I had a gut feeling it was a boy, but I really wanted a boy....and my then DH referred to it as our boy, so I was biased. Now that I think about it, though, I never felt a true, settled gut feeling it was a boy. I think the important thing for us all to remember is that we should prepare our hearts and minds for either, just as if we never swayed. That is the only defense I have for GD.
3, when's your scan? Did you have it yet? Am I losing my mind and missed that?
Oh my God.....I know you must be feeling that. Listen, Jen, you are going to have a great night, believe it. Your little bean is doing just beautifully, you know it. I will be sending you peacefully juju tonight, hun. xxooQuote:
