Thought we should start a new thread for a new month :D
sounds good--no news today but just wanted to stop by and catch up with all of you!
I was wondering if we were gonna have a Dec one!
Hello December!!! gosh, what a quick year I think 2011 has been!
Princess, that is a very special way to remember Evan. x
Mocha, FX for you this month...Ii could only take 1 attempt to get that bfp and u got 2 attempts in there! so FX FX!!!
Z, how is ur son doing???
Thanks, Inglewood. It's starting to look like FF is going to tell me I O'd on Thursday, but I'm not convinced I O'd at all. My body definitely felt like I was O'ing, but the OPKs were never close to +. If FF is right, I had a 2 day cut-off and another attempt on O-day (but probably after O had happened) + rephresh in between. Not ideal - I wish dh and I had dtd on the day in between as well. Oh well, if this wasn't our month hopefully af will arrive in a week or so and we can start planning (sigh) a Christmas attempt.Quote:

I want to put our Christmas decorations up this afternoon - DH says it's too early, pah!
I'm so glad he's doing better, Z!
I don't think it's too early for Christmas decorations! We haven't put any up yet other than a wreath on the door, but I think I'm going to bug dh to put up the outside lights this weekend. December days are so short and dreary - at least the lights outside make the 4:30pm sunset not so depressing!
If Ov had already happened maybe u got a 1 day cut off and a 0+??? attempt???Quote:

Our attempt on the night of the 1st could have been something like an O+12, but at 37 years old I doubt my egg lived long enough to be fertilized.
Here's my chart:
22b67e Ovulation charts on FertilityFriend.com
I don't have crosshairs yet, but if I have a temp tomorrow equal to or higher than today's the crosshairs will be on December 1st.
Oops - sorry ladies, here I am monopolizing the pregnancy boards with all my TTC talk :oops: - I'm just in that obsessive 'what the heck is my body doing' phase and looking for input from everyone!
Hi Everyone!
Can't believe it is December!
I think I had implantation spotting...anyone provide info on that? I am cd 11 I think.
Mocha,...this site is to obsess! hahahha
Princess.....I love your name for you little one. Beautiful!
Christmas decorations have been up for a week...DS1 was worried Christmas was coming and it would be too late. lol!
we finally put ours up tonight :) the boys are so excited :)Quote:

Princess I love the name for your little fella but even more I just love your ability to embrace this and be in love with him already. Fantastic; I couldn't be happier for you! I bet you're just a completely wonderful mom. Hmm... maybe in 20+ years we should all start matchmaking through this site. There are clearly women on here raising some fabulous boys ... and I'm making brides-to-be like no tomorrow :rofl:
Begonia,
What a cute idea!!!
DS 1 apparently looks like Justin Beiber...according to the grade 6 kids...and he is in kindergarten...lol!
Sunset, How do you feel?
Zan...thought your scan was on the 3rd......I will be thinking of you on the 8th.
Actually, are you in England? So, it will be morning for me right?
Begonia - how old are your girls? I have two handsome 5 year olds and a 2 year old up for grabs. I'm planning to train them to cook and do housework, so they'll make great husbands! :rofl:
Just up from nightshift, missed ur post last night in the rush for work!! Looked at ur chart! FAB!! so ur post above was right, little than a 2 day cut off and maybe a 0+12??? Do u know if u ov'd early on the 1st?? what time?Quote:

I'm guessing maybe ovulation happened in the middle of the night - that's why I think our attempt at 11pm or so on the 1st probably won't work - my egg wouldn't have lived that long!Quote:

You never know! FX for you tho... You might of 'just' caught it?? I spotted alot in my dpo...not every mth when ttc, it's confusing, maybe implantation spotting? FX it is. xQuote:

Mocha, if it was the end of ur m/c, at least ur body will be ready for ur next mth's attempt and what a magical time to conceive! Still have my FX x
Ready to pop lol my belly is definitely bursting at the seams, but i'm enjoying this part of pregnancy the most :) just started packing my hospital bag and getting the last bits for baby :)Quote:

HI SUNSET!
Must be exciting! Your boys must be thrilled about Christmas and a baby sister!
Too bad I am not a huge Beiber fan..lol!
Looks like most of you have trees up and everything! I'm still trying to buy gifts when the kids are not around and that's so hard to do cause I always have at least one of them with me when I'm out! My oldest is easiest to shop for cause he know what he wants, the others....well their list changes everyday hmmm I just don't don't want all these toys in the house :( Time to clean out their closets and donate to make room for gifts. So who's next for an ultrasound? We should get a list going so we know who to cheer on next and send positive vibes too!!!
That's a good idea, think Z is next on the 8th??? (correct me if I'm wrong Z!) and I'm the 13th (20 wk scan and FX gender will be known then).Quote:

I will be having my 20 wk scan the first week of January. I will be stalking Z and Ingle (any others??) in the meantime. Have a good Monday!
only 3 more days for Zanacal, how exciting! :D i'm going to see ds1's school play/nativity in the morning, but then afterwards i'll be here stalking :D
Hi ladies! My boys managed to do something near fatal to my laptop early on Saturday evening and it took me the rest of the weekend to Google a potential solution. I finally fixed it at about 1am today!! We didn't manage to get the decorations up after all and it's my work Christmas party this Saturday (the boys are going to my mum's and DH and I are staying overnight in the hotel - yay!) so who knows when we'll do it!
I'm really worried about Thursday - I'll be excited if I hear girl but if I hear boy, although I know I'll be fine in time, it'll be the end to the hope I at least have at the moment! I'm scared to come back and tell you all too! DH is coming I think and my sister won't come if he is - they were both going to be there for a time and I was worrying about that too. My sister had her NT scan today if anybody wants to have a guess in the ultrasound forum :D
I can really relate to your post!! I remember how apprehensive I felt about my gender scan at 16 weeks.. it really wasn't nice at all. I was so scared of how I would react, mainly because I was team green both times with the boys so i didn't know how it would feel to find out gender before the birth if it wasn't what i was wishing for, but at the same time I knew I had to find out before the birth. My biggest fear has always been to feel disappointment at the birth, even if just for a second so that's why I decided to find out... I never for a second believed I would be told it's a girl though.. i went into the scanning room expecting to hear it's a boy and when they couldn't tell me the gender when i first went at 16+3, it was torture to then have to come back and go through it all again 3 days later. I will be thinking of you when you go for your scan and i hope you know you don't need to feel scared to come on here and tell us all your news! because you know we all support you 110% and we all know how unbelievably scary gender scans can be! and boy or girl, it doesn't matter we will all think it's brilliant news!! i do hope you hear pink, but if not then you know we are all here for you!Quote:

My FIL is back to drinking again...after 15 years of being sober. It's been an emotional rollercoaster ride and my plans for getting stuff done for Christmas were shot. So I still won't be on here much for the next little while:( I miss you guys!!!
Z- I will be stalking on Thursday!! I think by the time I wake up here, you'll most likely know! Yippee!!!! I really hope you hear GIRL, but like Sunset said, know that we are all here for support and love:HH:
Mocha- So do you think you O'd??? I really hope so, Hun! xoxo Fingers crossed for a BFPINKP!!
To everyone else here, Hello!! Hope everyone's pregnancies are going well! I'm off to shovel 5 inches of snow:) xo
DM - so happy to see you back, even if it's only a brief visit. I'm so sorry you're still dealing with all that stressful family stuff.
Yes, I'm pretty sure I O'd. According to FF, you can't get a distinct thermal shift without O (although you can get +OPKs without Oing), and I now have 4 days of temps above my coverline. I'm not happy with my attempt, though, and think there's almost no chance I'll get a BFP this month. I guess I'll find out in another week or so....
Thank you for your lovely words Sunset x
Thanks too DM and I'm sorry you're having a rough time. Don't forget to take care of yourself and your baby girl :D
GL Mocha, I have everything crossed for you!!
Zan..I am nervous for you so you can relax...lol!
Doula mama...it is a tough time for a lot of people at Christmas and dealing with sobriety. I am sorry you have that going on!
inglewood, I am excited to hear about the twins!!
:wink:
YAY!!!! So we have so far:
Zanacal--Dec. 8th
Inglewood--Dec 13th
Tweedle-- beginning of january
Z you can relax about coming on here...I think almost ALL of us have experienced the emotions you are having now and in case you hear boy (Which I know you wont cause we all agreed yours looked girly!!!) you know that most of us have heard opposite of what we were wanting at some point--I know I have-- so we're here for you!!!!
Omy goodness,...I just realized this is a due date buddy board,.....lol!
No wonder I was so confused about two Dec threads. hahaha!
I hope you don't mind I am following you and your babies:)
GOOD LUCK....I am hoping I am soon. Not this month:( next!!!?????? I hope!
:rofl:Quote:

They are lovely!!!
No one told me I was a loser:) hahha:cool:
what? Is this a due date board?? hahahaha :rofl: I'm so sorry ladies, i didn't know this was a due date board for march-april ladies *feels really embarrassed* I thought it was just a general chit chat thread. I'm sorry i've crashed your thread!! :pQuote:

I am trying to prepare for the possibility of boy number three and it sucks. I am so tired of GD and want to just put it behind me and be happy with whatever gender of baby that I get. I just don't know if I'm there yet.
Okay, rant over.
DM - hope your family situation turns around. Such a hard time of year to be dealing with those kind of struggles.
Mocha - I really hope this is it for you! I'm just waiting for your BFP!
Z- hope you are able to relax before your scan. I am super stressed already and it's almost a month away for me - you must be so excited/anxious!
Hello to everyone else! Hope you are doing well!
tweedle - I always feel like pp's come so easily to other women too. It's always seen as 'normal' to have a boy and a girl and I know soooooo many people for whom it just happened that way. I get so jealous when I see those families - with fewer kids they can travel and do things we'll never be able to do with 4 kids. Also, they never had to go through the heartache of GD or the stress of swaying. Then again, I wouldn't trade my kids for anything, so I try to be thankful for what I have....
