-

Waning Crescent

Did you use any Old Wives Tales?

Tried Lunaception, but did not O during the "artificial" full moon, pineapple core on 1-5 dpo

Things that make me feel great about my sway:

The fertility massage/acupuncture immensely helped my CM become not only abundant (which I didn't have a problem) but incredibly clear. I had so much and it was so perfect looking that I decided not to add preseed this month.

Things that make me nervous about my sway:

My diet was slipping because I have been concerned about my weight gain and how long it could take for me to get pregnant. I was not willing to continue risking my health in that regards if I wasn't going to get pregnant.

Things worth mentioning:

Still breastfeeding toddler 2-4 times within a 24 hour period. Short LP at an average of 9-10 days.

[Rabbitmama85]

Oops, should have been 6 attempts if you count 4 days before O.

I should add that by cycle 4 I was just ready to be pregnant, regardless of result, so we have decided to do team green! A least, that's the plan.

I promise to update with sex when the information is available.

Planning a homebirth after cesarean

[3littleladies]

looks great, all the best!

[dloui128]

Congrats on your BFP!

[Adia]

Congrats! So excited for you! A vaginal birth after c-section is wonderful!

[Rabbitmama85]

Yay! Thanks! I dreamt of a screaming naked baby boy the other night, so here's hoping!

[Rabbitmama85]

We did not do team green like I wanted, and we are having a little GIRL.

I'm actually totally fine and don't seem to be as upset as I was with dd1, but dh is having some pretty hard gender disappointment. Anyone have any advice for what I can do to cheer him up? He's out of state and was on FaceTime for the ultrasound.

[yogi&booboo]

Hi there,
I have three girls & I can guarantee you that nothing will cheer them up. I cried my eyeballs out when he gave me the meh look so I had to make him feel guilty and this is what snapped him back to reality and would accept it. I think he accepted my youngest the easiest because i finally was fed up buying neutral gender colors when we knew 100% it would be a girl and i refused to buy other colors thank pink or purplw. I think once he has her in his arms she will melt his heart. Congratulations and thank heaven for little girls.

P.S the only suggestion is to buy him something he is into like hobby wise but, that is only going to push him farther and focus on other things which will only make you feel

Aw Rabbit I'm so sorry it didn't work out. My husband was really bummed after hearing ours was a girl (he wanted all boys - greedy) and the only remedy was getting to know her, now he's perfectly fine with it, or at least he's faking it better than he was there for awhile LOL. Wishing you the very best of luck and hoping you are able to have your homebirth!!!

[Rabbitmama85]

He's convinced that he can't "make" boys and so he's not sure he wants to ever have a 3rd.

I always imagined three kids, but I also can't imagine having 3 girls....it's kind of a gamble when you know that you will definitely be stopping at 3. I am sure we could love three girls, but the only families I know with three girls have so much chaos...I don't know if I can handle that...girls can be a lot of drama.
