TTC5, you a good daughter! Hope you find your mom housing etc soon. 11 people in the house, wow! If you dont mind me asking how do you dtd when there's so many people around, haha!!

Iluvmyman...have you POAS yet? I am not sure when I will do it. Trying to wait and see if I miss AF but I dont think I have the
willpower. I am trying to think I am not pregnant so I am not disappointed. Man this was easier when I wasnt tracking everything!!

Good luck to anyone else in 2ww.

I'm trying to catch up with you all so sorry for the many posts. Princessap, when are you testing? Are you the only one in the 2ww, please update me, thanks

Princess, I did POAS a few days ago (BFN) and will POAS in the morning but I really don't think I'll get a BFP. I think tomorrow will be 11dpo. I should start AF on Wed but there is NO WAY I can wait that long. You should POAS in the morning w/ me. :)

OK Begonia, I know you see right through me. I did POAS this morning (I couldn't help myself) and it's still negative. I'm bummed cuz I don't want to eat the diet anymore. I've been drinking carmel frapps again and I feel guilty either way and I don't want to do the diet again. It's so all consuming for me (everything but the kitchen sink of coarse). I like milk, and sour cream gosh darn it! :) I wasn't really prepared for this to take longer than a month once we tried.

I really don't know how people do this for so long, but I know i will cuz I really, really want this! :) Ok, I'm done w/ my fit now. I really doubt I'll get a BFP in the morning. :tissue: :bigsmile:

Sorry for bfn, you only out when AF arrives so keep checking. Can you imagine how i feel about the diet, i've been trying for over a year, this time last yr i had a m/c & have tried to have a baby since with no luck. Been seeing fertility doc who put me on clomid which i know sways girl but what can i do i just want a baby now. I'm 38 so that's another worry, we'll see how this yr goes.

Another thing is the money i've spent on all supplements etc over the year, it's hard. I miss eating yoghurt & cheese & am really tired of diet but i have to keep on doing it. I think i'll be really p*ssed off if after all this diet for a year & all the money i've spent i get a girl....oh well at least i'd have tried

Babydes...I think it is just me and Iluv that are in 2ww. I am not testing until AF is late (fingers crossed she is). I am trying not to get excited about a BFP and be disappointed if it is BFN. So I am thinking I am not pregnant and hoping for the best. Make sense??

GL, any symptoms?
May 8th, 2011, 09:10 AM

a little bit of cramping on 7dpo and nothing since.
May 8th, 2011, 09:41 AM
babydes56

That could have been implanting cramps, they usually happen around that time. Do you temp?
May 8th, 2011, 12:19 PM
iluvmyman

OK, this is dpo11 w/ a high quality prego test and I got a BFN. I'm calling it! AF should start Wednesday. Bummer!

Princess, did you POAS this morning?

thanks. Havent tested as I started cramping tonight so think I am out :(
My BFF cramped the week before she got her BFP so she is trying to keep me positive. But I think I am out. Only good thing is my cervix is unreachable it is so high which can sometimes mean pregnancy right??
May 8th, 2011, 11:48 PM

I can't imagine doing this for a year! I think it's more of the mental strain that goes into this rather than the diet itself for me. I'm 35 and there is definilty a bigger rush then in my 20's. So sorry to hear about your m/c, that is so rough. :( Our son died in December, the day he was born, and at this point we have no idea why. It's certainly put having children in a new perspective. This has managed to be a pretty big investment somehow, just seems to add up.

I really had no calcium much during the 2 months or so when starting to sway but not sure how much going forward I'm going to avoid dairy. I think I feel like if I'm not unhappy swaying then I'm not swaying hard enough. After my BFN, I'm re-evaluating my sway. I've totally blown the dairy in the 2WW for sure anyway, and it'll be only 2 more weeks before it's time to try again.

If it came to a year, I think I might have to really evaluate where I'm at on swaying for a boy or just getting pregnant. There's still always a 50/50, right? I've read about clomid swaying girl and twins!

Have you tried both EW's and/or Pre-seed? I'd love to pick your brain on what your thoughts are on the different sway options. I think at this point I'm still going to sway for boy but in the end, I'd really love to just have the blessing of another child. Of coarse this is only talk, who knows. I was bummed to get a BFN regardless of wether a BFP was a boy or girl. I don't know, less options when I'm in my mid-30's.

I sure hope you are not out of the game, too. Still gonna wait to test till you miss AF? You have amazing will power. :) I know we have till we get AF to know for sure, but I'm not feeling it either.

Thanks, light, TTC5 and everyone for the encouragment

I may test tomorrow. Trying to have will power but dont know if I can do it! LOL
Weird thing happened last night.....I woke up around 3 to pee and sat by the toilet for about ten minutes thinking I was going to vomit. Came back to bed and was talking to DH and he said "maybe you are pregnant!" I didnt eat much last night so dont think it is anything I ate. so what do u think??

I hear you girls about being 35. I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your son. Big hugs to you. I cannot imagine how painful that must have (still is) been.
I am 35 and just want to be pregnant now too. I think things change with age and the loss of a child. Hoping for BFP for you!!!

mm I hope your DH change . Kids are not the end of the world.
ttc5 sorry about your mom! hope they can find a safe place soon.
begonia Im really thinking not to ttc and not have any more kids...Im not willing to have babys after babys until I get a boy. We are already over limit we don't have much place and money... I know atomic says it's 50/50 every time but I don't believe that. I have 4 girls 2 was a sway...doesn't look like 50/50 to me.

I also hate to be on the diet long so Im taking it easy for now and eat some cheese and so.

Hope the ladies in the 2ww get a bfp!

Sorry to hear about your son, i have been catching up with the posts & did come across the one you wrote about your son. You are a really positive person, good for you! Also sorry about bfn.

Yep i've been at it for a year but have only taken clomid once & have two more goes of it until we look at some other avenues. I always cheat in the 2ww & to be honest i am more relaxed about the diet than when i started, the reason i dont have much dairy is because i'm trying to do different things to when i conceived my girls.

I tried EW & wot a mess so i wont be doing that, i'm actually going to try preseed with bs this time around. I'm hear you about just wanting to be preg now but i also know that once i'm preg i'll start obsessing about the son i've always longed for so for now i'll do wot i can to help me get one & if it fails then i know that i did my best

baby what is the selenium good for ? I have no info about that. And the D3? I learned that it's very good for depression but why for ttc?

Any one have info about MACA yet??? I read somewhere it may be not for ttc blue...atomic said she do research about it but I don't think she did yet.

find this in one of atomic post

Quote:

Y sperm and lighter and thus, faster
The proportion of X and Y (male) bearing sperm in semen are equal. But male embryos and fetuses have a higher risk of dying in the womb. Consequently, scientists have been trying to find out why there are more male babies. Dr Smits and his team say their work supports the theory that conception depends on how viscous, or "sticky", the mucus in a woman's cervix is. The stickier it is, the harder it is for any sperm to get through. But Y bearing sperm are lighter(2% smaller), and swim faster. Therefore, if a woman takes longer to get pregnant, it may be that she has thicker than usual mucus. This would mean it is harder for any sperm to get through, so conception takes longer. And, when it does happen, it is more likely to have a boy because of male sperm's swimming abilities. Dr Smits said: "Women whose cervical mucus is relatively viscous would not only have more difficulties conceiving naturally, but also have a higher probability of male offspring if they do get pregnant. "This may explain why there is a higher chance, in general, of having boys."

ok I don't get it:suprise: we suppose to have lot's of ewcm for a boy right? But this here says the more sticky you have the higher a chance to have a boy?
Or it's just only if you always have sticky CM then you chance is higher for a boy but of course the best is to have ewcm?

Ooo, you are 35 too. So cool. That could totally be a good sign for you. There are 2 really good ways to find out. :) I feel sick and emotional when I'm overtired and I just get mean when I don't eat. :)

Can't wait to hear and 1 of us needs to have a BFP, so it's up to you. :)

11 CRAZY!!! I can't handle that. I would take care of my mom, but my brother & sisters welcome only for few days. I can't handle it for a long time because I have a husband & kids. Good luck, I hope all goes well with her appointment.

Still waiting for O ...I will NEVER take L'rg again. I don't think its helping me to get more CM, but it messed up my cycle. I'll just take Mucinex also fish oil It's supposed to help making more CM.

I remmeber one of our BC girl had two m/c so she found the taking supplements like :Q10, selenium can help with future pregnancy. She got pregnant with healthy baby boy.
