TTC BOY November Chit Chat Thread - All welcome!!

[LolaInLove]

Hey TTC5, I know it SUCKS with the weight gain. You guys probably remember me griping about that forever. It's just the longer you do the diet, the more you will gain. Most of us don't intake this amount of calories in a day, be it good nutrients or whatever, it is calories. That was my problem....I was eating super healthy, just eating MORE, so I gained 35lbs over a year of swaying. I felt really bad about myself, I mean REALLY bad. Now that I am not doing that anymore, I have lost weight and really feel like the old me again, although I know that if we ever get pg, I can probably expect a girl, which I am more than happy to have. Actually, I have zero gender desire anymore, we just want a baby. I know exactly what I will name her already, and it makes me excited. But anyway, 5, maybe you should take a break and use the time while DH finished school to get back to the old you and save some $ and and then you can pick it back up. Just one option, I guess. It is hard to figure out what to do, but if you are so miserable about the weight, you should consider taking a break. I know you did that before, and did pretty well with it, right? Aw, big hugs, hunni......I know it is so hard.

2pnb, I took 50mg of Clomid from days 3-7. I think each doctor has their time frame....mine just said to do that timing, and she said to use preseed to counter dryness if I encountered that and to dtd every other day from CD10-18. I ovulated like clockwork on CD13 on the Clomid, and the first month, had more ewcm than usual, but my usual not much the next 2 months (I only did 3 rounds before we found out my DH is the problem so I quit the Clomid). Don't stress about it swaying girl so much, OODLES of boys are born to Clomid moms. When you take it, just use the preseed (or the ew if you want) and please do try to get pg as soon as you can as you know you can't take it forever. Not to mention the weight thing...

Well 13 dpo for me and bfn and starting to spot so AF will be here on the weekend. DH doesn't want to try anymore because our finances are so tight.

So now I am 20kilos overweight and no baby.

You know what we are exactly the same! DH said no because 1 he do not believe we can get a boy and 2 we have no money really...and you know what I know he is right this is why I was thinking only 1 more try in jan . and that's it.
BUT now I think maybe we are done...I weight my selfs today and I did not put on almost 30 lbs I put on 35 freaking lbs!! How on earth did I allowed this to happen?
Im so fat it's like Im some one else!
And just to think I get another girl like this makes me sick!!!
I read some studies here and none of them says we have to stuff our selfs for months to get a boy not even this 6 weeks everyone talking about here.(where did that 6 weeks come from I don't remember)
Studies says mothers who had high calories intake around O and around conception had more boys and more likely to have boy.
So Im thinking maybe it would be enough to eat the HE diet from after AF to O and in the 2WW??

Anyway I need to loose this weight I can live like this anymore , this is crazy!

[Flava]

I'm my biggest too but I've been so lucky not to have gained any weight so far! I could just imagine if I was like my sister and gained 20kgs the first 20 weeks! I'm not too worried about it at the moment though, I will take care of it once the baby is born.

That's just it! I can't even loose weight when I BF the baby I even put on more! Im not lucky like others they BF and loose all the fat.

[Flava]

I have put on 5kg since starting the diet so I guess it's not really all that much. I honestly don't know why some people put on more weight than others. Are you doing weights or any cardio at all Flava? I do them 2-3 times a week at the moment.

yeah I was doing weight every other day with 2 8 pounds dumbbells ! And Im freaking hungry all the time now!
I use to eat so little I hate this!!!

[2pinkNoblue]

Lola-- did you do opk's or temping to pinpoint O on clomid? were you taking supps with clomid? cause there are things your not supposed to take with it right like Vitex...I am planning to try the first cycle w/ clomid which will be Dec. I am having a hard time getting my DH to take all those pills, he says he would take allthe supps I want him to if he doesnt have to wear a condem lol then I am worried I will DTD at the wrong time and get PG. How did you attempt go? I prayed for you, and your DH...

[2pinkNoblue]

I have gained alot of weight too...it makes me depressed too but I think I would gain 100 lbs if I could just have a boy then I could lose it. I am very fortunate the my husband is very good about telling me how much he likes the way I look no matter what weight I am, that helps me but recently I have been cheating on the diet I sometimes have an "off day" I just feel very weighed down.

Have any of you done MSU I know some of you came from IG and I remember talking about it, what are your thoughts about it, until recently I thought that I would do that to try to get the highest chances I can but it seems like so much stuff to screw up...

[3Pink1Blue]

Flava- me either, I can't lose weight while great feeding without my supply suffering. It can take me a whole year to lose 10-15 lbs. after delivery.

2pnb- I believe flava did msu with her last 2 girls.

[Flava]

2pink-that's just it we gain all this weight and no guarantee for a boy! im thinking most likely I get a girl anyway Im so unlucky!
And yes I did MSU for my last try and got DD4! DD3 was Shettles try for a boy...so this is sway #3 and why would it work right?....
MSU is very hard to do if you can't get the semen float on the EW. And also have to be on IG diet do ions ect all. BUT I did it all and still got a girl!

[Flava]

3pink- you know what you still better of LOL because I do not loos ANY weight when I BF! And if I dear to eat less my milk is going down and never comes back! And I have a problem alredy with BF I don't have enough milk I have to give formula too! It's the only way i can keep on BF longer.

[LolaInLove]

That's just it! I can't even loose weight when I BF the baby I even put on more! Im not lucky like others they BF and loose all the fat.

I am the same way, Flava. I gain about 40lbs when pg and then after the birth, still have about 25 on me until I stop BFing. I am hungrier nursing than when pg! And literally, the week I weaned the girls, my body shrank down before my eyes, it was freaky.
