Pink swayers' December thread

[auroara78]

Oh, Mocha, wouldn't that be awesome!! I keep thinking about getting like a mother's ring or necklace when I'm thru having kids, and the sapphire would look so cool in it :P I'd have the diamond/cubia Z for April (DS2) and I guess rose quartz or opal? (October for DS1) and then sapphire would look so neat with it...hehe I'm getting ahead of myself but it'd be sooooo cool if all of us got preggers at end of month / early next month and ended up with gorgeous september bundles of *pink* hopefully!

Also, I really want to hurry up and get a BFP becuz if our late Dec Christmas attempt is a NO, I will be skipping Jan, as I don't want my two kids to share a birth month if possible!

My bleeding's continued all day today without a break, so I think it's safe to assume that HPT really was negative and this is af. I certainly hope so, because I bought some wine to have with dh tonight! I'm feeling a little better now that I'm at CD1 - it's a fresh start, and hopefully a less confusing cycle. Only 2 weeks or less (hopefully) until I O!

A question for the ladies who've had losses - did your O after your first af come at the regular time?

Mocha you can check out my O charts. The very first one was the first AF after loss. It's august. Had O regularly since. Check it out if you like.

[QUOTE=zanacal;112110]I'm sorry Hope, I had high hopes for you this month. I'm still hopeful it ain't over for you this month yet!

Thanks Z. I'm definitely out though. Had a blood test to confirm. Really disappointed bc noe I'm in a crohns flare which makes me not even able to ttc for December. Feeling a little better will start fresh for January. Our sways where so similar. Glad you heard pink!!!

Thanks, HopeandDream - I did check them out. One question - I notice that for the two cycles after your loss you O'd around day 16-17, but in your Nov cycle you O'd on day 12. Which one of those is 'normal' for you? Did you find you O'd later than usual on the first couple of cycles after your loss? I'm reeeeeaaallly praying for an early O because our attempts are going to become logistically difficult once we leave for our trip on the 22nd.

I also notice you had a short af in August - just 3 days of heavy bleeding? Today is my third day of real flow, and it's definitely tapering off. I think it will just be light tomorrow and hopefully disappear shortly after that.

Today I went to the dr for a check up and I told him I am ttc again , He is our family dr and a very good one... He laughed and said well I can already tell you the gender it will be a boy he said coming from your husbands family there are only boys and he laughed.. My 3 yr old son then went on to say I want a baby sister which he always says and my dr laughed at him and said yes maybe oneday. I always read so much into what everyone says now i feel like giving up as my MIL believes I will never get a girl and tells me not to even mention anything about having a baby girl because its just not going to happen.. Really upset my day it has! So I had a cheese and bacon roll for lunch and now I feel worse!!!! I just feel like whats the point putting myself thru this not just the diet but the stress of everything else that goes with it when I will get another boy anyway. Sorry but I am just down about it all now..

It seems a lot of girl sways I'm seeing only involve one attempt but I really want to do more than one. Will this "cancel out" the sperm lowering measures (frequent release, rephresh etc) or are others doing this as well?

[Mochagirl]

pinkin - sorry you had a rough day. That's very insensitive of your doctor and MIL to say that. My brother's like that - he always jokes that I'm going to end up with a troop of boys if I keep trying to have a girl. Try not to feel down. Lots of boy moms get their girl against supposedly unsurmountable odds.

I think it probably depends on how quickly you want to get pregnant. Personally, I'm older (37) and after this m/c particularly want to be pregnant again ASAP, so I'm not going to leave it to one attempt. It took us 4 months to get pregnant last summer, and that was with sometimes up to 7 attempts in one month, so I don't like my odds of getting pregnant with one attempt.

I think I remember you saying you're young? Maybe one attempt would be enough for you.

For me, my big question is whether to do fr or rephresh or both. Last summer we didn't get pregnant until we dropped the rephresh. I wonder if frequent release in combo with rephresh and all the other stuff we do to lower sperm count was just too much for dh's aging sperm. I think we'll either do frequent release with no rephresh, or not do fr but use rephresh. So many decisions....

thanks Mocha I just want to prove everyone wrong I so wish I could.Why cant they just keep their comments and thoughts to themself.. I have been doing so well on this sdiet I am also finding around my nails the skin is peeling and I heard that is from a diet lacking in vitamins. wounder how true that is. should be true anyway because i pretty much eat the same thing everyday!!!!!!!!!!!! How are you going anyway Mocha when are you due for your next attempt?
