Thanks! We cloth diaper because he can't handle whatever is in the disposables, and I normally don't use cream or powder, but we may need a prescription this time. He has lots of swelling in very sensitive spots. :(
I had a severe diaper rash with my two oldest boys and this is the only thing that worked even after the prescription failed. They had a virus and had places that were actually cracked/bleeding from all the diarrhea that they had had, so after using all over the counter creams and prescription that I could, the pharmacist told me to try this.Quote:

Take both tubes and empty them both together into a seal-able container. Then mix them both together until they are blended well. Put this on the bottom each time you change the diaper. And you should see improvement shortly. For my kids I had to put this on and lay them on a blanket without diapers with the cream on bec of the cracked skin and then once it was better, I used diapers again. I hope this helps your little one.
Nooooo! So sorry kd:(
Aww Krazy, I am so sorry. That sucks. Next month belongs to you, though!! ♥
CravingSalt, I'm so sad to hear that. Not because I want to force another child on you, but because I love your company here. You are young and you may feel differently later on. I did. AND you can stay here and chit chat with us while you wait and make an even bigger, better, badder sway :) XX
And so another morning home pregnancy test goes on the books....as negative. Blah.
Thanks for asking. It is too early for symptoms, but I don`t have a good feeling about this cycle. I have no tests here (and I won`t buy any), also I took my last temperature this morning. AF is due Friday in one week, we will see.Quote:

UGH! I just looked at the calendar...
I hope this month is it for us!!! Next month when I ovulate we'll be at the beach. The exact week. UGH. Way too hard to do with my mother-in-law in the condo with us and the boys running around.
PLEASE, please, PLEASE let me be pregnant right NOW.
Thank you, Kraizy! I will try that. We've had to use lotramin before due to yeasty rashes, but this time the dr says it's just irritation and to try something that is not medicated, like Vaseline. I don't even have any in the house, so we had to go to the store. I generally let him run around pantless for an hour or so every day, just to air it all out, so that sounds like it will help too. Thank you all for the advice!Quote:

Go on girl...be fruitful and multiply! Besides we don't want to lose our obsessing buddy, lol.Quote:

Beadin I understand how you feel dear. I just knew I would be O'ing while we were in Texas this time around. Thankfully, we made it home in the nick of time. We were cutting it close...any longer and we would have been in trouble. DH and I sneaked around and DTD in Texas. We just waited until our son went to sleep and did what we had to do. No one was the wiser...there were 13 people in that house by the way. That put a new meaning to "by any means necessary" LOL!Quote:

And for you, BeadinMom! Yes, it would be difficult to get anything "accomplished" in that sort of environment. ;)
He's napping, so at least for now he's feeling better. We'll try some naked time when he wakes up. Has anyone tried the diaper rash bath soak stuff? I've seen it at the store but have never bought it. Maybe it's time to try, just to see if it eases his discomfort any. None of my other kids ever had problems like this, so I'm willing to try anything as long as it won't make him worse.
Man Kraizy I'm sorry! But a new start yes? AF sucks and she definitely knows how to ruin a party. Uggh! Well here's to a successful cycle this go round!Quote:

Yes, we'll do what we have to do, but I'm just REALLY hoping it doesn't come to that. Plus, there are outlet malls where we'll be and I was hoping to do a little shopping at Carter's...just can't justify it to myself if I'm not.
Lassie I definitely did that with my first...went overboard. Bought a slew of gender neutral stuff. You are not crazy! I would love to go to BRU's and buy a little dress for my "little princess" who is not yet in existence. Nothing wrong with being prepared for the future, lol. 10DPO for me tomorrow also Lass but I am not testing. Can't wait to see what you get!!!
Kasey welcome back! It will be over before you know it. Hopefully ending in a BFP!!!
Hey Shellbelle and Beachy! What is new with you ladies?
Well nothing to report today. BB's or what my son likes to call them (bewbies) feel a little sore but not as bad as last month. I don't know if that is a good thing or bad thing. I don't remember them being sore with my first. No additional cramps since the ones I had at 7DPO. At least I have this whole relocation thing to keep me occupied!
Beadin...I think you can ALWAYS justify shopping at Carter's! You ladies are really making me itch to shop for a little dress :shemademe:Quote:

LOL, Praying4Pink, my oldest ds used to call them "bubbies." Nothing new here, thanks for asking! I actually feel really good and am not having any of my regular "symptoms" from the past two months, except for those ovarian twinges.
I'm watching "A Baby Story" while my 2yo sleeps. Why do I do this to myself? And now you ladies are making me think about stopping at my favorite baby store when I'm in the city this weekend. I won't have any of the kids with me except the baby, and he can usually keep a secret.
Oh but no! I cannot watch A Baby Story if I am NOT pregnant...even 5 minutes after delivery, I have to turn it off. LOL. Always makes me want another baby!!!
I don't care to watch it unless I have baby fever. Which I do. Badly.
I do, too...I think it would be torture to watch it right now. :(
Ladies I completely concur. By the way...since we are NOT obsessing...I am utterly exhausted today! I got plenty of rest last night but I am literally about to fall asleep at my desk. Hummm?

cravingsalt *hugs* im so sorry you are feeling so deflated. Just give it a bit of time, i think tensions and emotions run really high with TTC and sometimes it darkens our view. My dh has said before now 'lets just forget it' but that feeling in him only ever lasts a couple of hours. Maybe switch to a lazy, non regimental sway, just enjoy being husband and wife and then if it happens it happens...maybe that will make things easier for you and for DH?
sending you lots of love and hope you smile again soon :)

Never mind - super soy for next month, here i come!
I am not counting you out, girl!! It's still early!!!
I'm waiting too! But after I o'd I wasn't watching what I'm eating. I figure if it's meant to be then it will, and I won't be trying next month most likely anyway due to us moving so I had a big fat steak while out with some girlfriend. I can't tell you the last time I had a steak! I rarely eat red meat as is! But it was good! Good luck ladies!
Craving this is how I felt month 2. But I told myself I'd try for 3 so I followed through and here I am! I did loosen up a lot during that 3rd try so it's probably a boy but I am glad I wont have to wonder or waiver anymore cause this will be it!!
Sorry Krazy, but new month, fresh try. Lots of dust for you next month!
Craving, I have been trying for over a year. I have my first RE appointment next week. I gave myself a cut off of 18 months from the first date with my RE, and if I am not pregnant I am done. But 2 months when TTC a girl isn't long. Remember you are making yourself less fertile, so maybe cut yourself a little slack and try a few more months. If you are sad that this might be it, then that must mean that you want another baby. :) There is nothing selfish about giving your sons another sibling.
CD 3 and sore boobs. I am not googling but instead obsessing over my chart from when I was pregnant with my DS. I am going to hold out until 12 dpo again to test. I don't even have a test in my house.
Sorry I haven been on in the last few days ladies, I have had a lot of meetings but am hoping that the next few days are going to being a wave of bfp's to the July 2WW.
Not an awful lot really except cramping and a lot of egg white/watery cm. Sorry if that is too much info. The only other thing is tingly nipples which I never had on any other pregnancy and have no morning sickness which I suffered from massively last time.Quote:

Good Morning Ladies! I am officially 10DPO today and totally obsessing! I'm trying to just tell myself that I am NOT pregnant so that I won't be disappointed.
Things that I am doing to keep myself occupied: reading Fifty Shades part II, working on my homework for next week, thinking about my sway for next month, finding us a bigger house to rent.
Things that I am obsessing about now that I am 10DPO: If the baby has implanted yet (those cramps at 7DPO have really got me curious), why I feel super drained, why I am craving salt, why I am super cranky, if I should design a t-shirt for my son that says big brother to tell the family once I find out.
Ok so that last one was super random but I have thought about it :shrug:
How is everyone else chugging along?
Its never too much info, lucky. I can't look at your chart right now, but I will when everyone is fed and dressed.Quote:

I keep trying to remind myself that my chances aren't great this month, but it's hard not to obsess, isn't it. If I had your symptoms it would be super hard. They sound promising!Quote:

I'm also really gassy this morning -- my chest and ribs hurt from it -- but I didn't eat anything weird last night. Maybe hormones? It sounds like you're doing pretty well keeping yourself occupied!
Oh Shellbelle...it is never to early to get excited, lol. The only thing I hate about promising symptoms is that they don't always end up producing what they promise. :rolleyes: I would be very :suprise: if I am pregnant this go round. DH is already getting excited again. I hate disappointing him most of all...Quote:

-Saw Palmento
-Vitex
-Crystal light
-ph strips
-rephresh
-new basal thermometer
-negative ion bracelet and car plug in
These wouldn't be readily available in my area in Ireland (I never heard of any of them before last month) so I ordered them all online from the UK and US and they are all arriving now in the last few days after I got my bfp. The only thing is if we are lucky enough for this to be a sticky bean this time and I get past my first 14 weeks I will not need them again so will give them to someone on here. I won't want anything for them and they are all brand new with tamper proof seals still attached so no point wasting the guts of $150 dollars..... lol
Girls I was really gassy and crampy a couple of days before my bfp. I posted here a few times about it I think a bit back. Have fingers and toes crossed for you all.
