Makes me again believe timing doesn't matter, as long as DH isn't shooting turtles or blanks, LOL!

I actually like the plan of tonight and again tomorrow night, that probably does give you the best chance of getting that egg! But then again I am with you on the whole timing thing so no surprise I would think that plan sounded great, LOL!

I personally think, if you are ok with a break, that it can get your mind centered very well, as Ramadan is supposed to be a month of observing peace, humility, patience, spirituality...you know. But, don't you have to continue to fast if in 2ww? I know you get a "pass" if you are pg or nursing......just saying, with your O right at the beginning....you definitely don't want to fast then. I don't know.....I think it depends on how much you want to observe and also sway in Aug, ya know?

thanks Lola , you are right , i will ve to continue diet in 2WW...... and offcourse BSF :( , but then i ve to take break for almost 3 months , as i cant sway in august , need two months for swaying , OH GOSH , long waittt coz im gonna visit my parents and wud stay there for 4 months , off course then DH will not available there for dtd :(

Oy, Light, that is a tricky one. I would say that if you really NEED to try in August, then just do it. Forgo the fasting for the reason that you MUST nourish your body to ttc and sustain a bean. Observe Ramadan in every other way possible, and I do believe that God will indeed understand. I think He's that type of guy. :wink:

Lola, SUPER news about the +OPK! Hmmm ... I like the advice of maybe staying up late tonight to DTD early am? You can snack (protein and carbs, LOL!), watch a romantic movie together ... and sleep in tomorrow w/o worrying about hitting o+12 or getting up early to BD! Either way your timing is great, you'll have a nice abstinence! I'm just so happy you're back in this :bluecheer:

AFM I had my 1st appointment this am and it went perfectly (no twins, PHEW!); had a dating scan and my O date lines up perfectly with the dating on the scan, how crazy is that? Anyhow got to see the little nugget heartbeat and all looks good in there. Have my 12 week scan scheduled for 8/25.

The appt left me a little rattled though ... I think the reality of it all just hit me. And I remembered last time I was on the u/s table and learned I was having DD2, and that was a REALLY hard time for me, so I think it brought some of those feelings back. I am definitely NOT going to find out this time around and part of me is thinking I don't even want to nubsess, because if it is another girl I really will be MUCH better off waiting til birth... I'm not sure I would do well if all my nub guesses say girl, because even though it's just a guess, some of those nubs are pretty clear I think.

So we shall see ... for now I just keep staring at the u/s picture ... I can't believe we are REALLY having another baby :nails:

Though I am looking forward to using this super cute smilie ...
:3kids:

Good to hear u/s went well & you got to see the little heartbeat! I'm so with you about finding out but DH wants to find out. When i posted my 7wk scan on IG & was told girl that really upset so i've decided not to post my 12wk because i just want to enjoy my pregnancy

Yea, I am kinda torn now. Dangit. Maybe it would be better for DH for us to just do it early in the morning, like 8am? I already told him to go buy a big red bull, ha. He's got to go choreograph and dance at 10am anyway.

You guys will get a kick out of this too: he is creating his own multimedia dance piece, something that won't be done till April, but he's composing the music and using stop-animation video in the background, and there will be dancers also, of course.....but he just told me what it's about, and it is the story of ttc, of creation with the theme of a tree and seeds. He said our journey is the ispiration for it. The show will debut at a huge film festival here in April, so maybe I will have a baby in my arms by that time. LOL But isn't that sweet? I will have to post it for everyone on YouTube then.

Oh, and Begonia, FABULOUS news about the good scan! ITKWYM about having flashbacks on the u/s table. Lots of them now! I think I am with you on not finding out....I am starting to like that idea for me in the future. I think it's the best way for my personality to deal with another girl. Plus, I would love to keep everyone guessing and avoid as many stupid comments as possible. ALSO a big bonus is that I will be much more apt to get that baby out when I am in labor to see what's between the legs, so I will be better at laboring. I'll do the super "effective" stuff instead of wallow around like last time!

my dh says the same that lola said, since we are TTC, i have to prepare my body to make sure the health of the baby is well. my 1st pg i didnt even know i was pg and i fasted the whole month. she turned out find thank God but its not good esply the 1st trimester. i personally think even if youa re planning to TTC you shoudl still consider nourishing the baby even before its actually there. but everyone thinks diff, Light. i could never tell you not to fast, you know? this is just how *i* justify it, and i plan to make it up, etc etc. in fact i was going to TTC in sept, but pushed to oct bc of ramamda, but im still not planning to fast God forgive me, bc of all the knowledge ive gained with regards to blood sugars. iw ouldnt be able to do it while fasting esply esply witha fast in AUGUST where the days are pretty long. hope your answer is easy!
