Pink swayers' December thread

[maybeoneday]

Well...maybe I spoke too hastily. I just started spotting again . I'm hoping it was just irritation from the internal u/s - it's really minor and just pink when I wipe. I'm so sick of this - I don't want to see any blood on my toilet paper again until after I have a baby in my arms!

I need a 'dislike' button for the spotting! FX it will go away quickly. xx

It has to be due to irritation....but, you do have the all clear.....when do you speak with the doc about the results?
I am tired for you!

I don't have an 'official' all-clear - just the comment from the tech that everything looked good. There's still possibility the doctor will see something in the pictures the tech missed. I think they said the results will go to my family doctor in 2 business days.

Mocha...i hope you are okay...this really is hard and considering Christmas is coming it must be emotional....you are ready to be done with this and move on I am sure.
Take care and relax....it will happen this month,..you certainly are ready for it and I think your body will respond.
Don't let travelling hurt your chances...if it were my inlaws I think I would be stressed.
Are you going to try to bd in the meantime or wait?

On a personal note...what should I do?
Have you ever o on cd 10 before?
I have no positive opk but strange things with my cm and bad o pains (not unusual for me).
We have to keep dtd I think.
I am ready to just be pregnant....it is embarassing to say but I am tired of bding! It is not good!
I am cd 10, low on cbfm but last month I had no peak!
I am sad bc I have no idea when or how often to bd!
Everyting I read contradicts something else!
It is too late to just dtd whenever...DH and I are both done with the swaying but now we want to do our best. Must be our personalities.
Anyone else feel the same way?
Or, is everyone just ready to be prego!
I think I am a lot of both!

Thanks, lemon. I think we'll wait to BD until I feel like O is approaching. I'm only CD6, and in the past I usually start getting EWCM around CD10, so that's when we'll probably start BD. In the meantime, dh is releasing daily.

Oh and I hear you on being sick of BDing. I have a low libido at the best of times, so having to dtd every night for many nights in a row is very unpleasant for me. Also, dh won't release unless I 'help' him, which is one of the reasons I'd thought of skipping fr this time around....

I just went back and looked at some of my old charts, and it made me feel a lot better. I had forgotten that 6-7 day periods aren't uncommon for me, and in fact, the last cycle I conceived, I spotted until CD7. I'm hoping that's all this spotting is and it will go away soon.

I did ask the tech today how my ovaries looked. She'd already finished the scan at that point, but she said they looked on track for me to ovulate this month. Now I just need to pray for an early O.... I realised that not only do we have the logistics of figuring out how to BD while we're away and I'll have no choice but to cheat on the diet, but I'll have to bring ALL my swaying paraphernalia with me and find some way to drink 3 cups of peppermint tea and 2 of RRL tea per day without people noticing and thinking I'm a freak, taking OPKs several times a day, etc. Blah. PLEASE let me O before my trip!!!

[lemon2012]

Anyway I ovulated and did not get an LH surge? Did I miss it???
That would mean I od on cd 9???

[lemon2012]

Just wondering bc I never got anything on OPKS, started on cd 9. I think I od on cd 9!
My temp went up cd 10 and 11....!
So, I did a perfect boy sway!

[rainbowflower]

lemon I have OVed on CD10 before, during my first full cycle after a MC (after my first post-MC AF)

the low on your monitor is reassuring as it means your oestrogen levels are low so perhaps you haven't OVed - oestrogen always rises before OV

I don't think timing sways one bit, but I do think frequency does. what about your sway was a perfect boy sway?

Mocha, the comment I liked earlier wasn't about your spotting, it was about when you said you hope you don't see blood again until after you have a baby! That was the portion of the quote i was liking, hehe. I'm glad you looked over your charts and had some reassurances that you have long AFs....I pray for an early O for you so you'll be able to O and get it out of the way.

Jamie & Dannikins, thanks for sharing your stories on intitution!!! It's cool hearing what other ladies say about maybe "knowing" what gender their baby is before they have them!

I confessed to my mom last night that we were going to try around Christmas. She was agaited at first but she really wanted us to wait until deeper in 2012, then I told her about how I had a good gyno annual recently, that my ob-gyn is supportive of another pregnancy, etc, and she started to relax. She's such a worrywart about health She just thought it was too soon to have another one being that my 2nd was born in April.

Then, she went on this tirade about how I was going to get my daughter, right? That I wouldn't dare think about an attempt unless I was pretty sure I'd get my girl?

I said to her that nothing was 100%; that there could be another boy that comes from our attempt, but we were going to try all we could to get a girl. She seemed very dissatified by the answer, and pretty much said she didn't think it was worth my getting pregnant again unless I was really, really sure I could make a girl.

Kind of made me feel down
As if she didn't want another grandson, I mean I definitely want a daughter, but if I am meant to be a Mommy to another sweet boy, then that is what life has in store for me
This is from the same woman who had told me before she thought having 3 daughters was too much and she wished she had had another son!
I love my mom to pieces, but sometiems she can be very abrupt and tell her opinion a little too much!
