January 2012 Chit Chat Thread for TTC Boy

[My Fabulous Children]

Happy 2012 my friends! I hope you all had a nice Christmas!

Hey 5- I am so sorry again, this blows. I like Bec's wording, and agree with Cinss....you could get at least some compensation if you were indeed robbed of your fertility. You may be able to find a lawyer via that service who will take your case and just take a percentage of your compensation. But hey- let's be positive and hope we both get a miracle baby in 2012! xxoo

Hi everyone, been a few weeks. Was traveling and tried to just concentrate on centering myself and heading into this year with a good balanced attitude about this whole ttc thing. Was super nice to pop back on today and see ZB's long awaited bfp!

Skrimpy, DO TELL your weight-loss secrets!

Iluv, good to hear from you also- sorry to hear about your girl and your gest diabetes....sounds like you have got a good plan for dealing with both. Will keep you in my prayers, luv. xxoo

Will have many more comments, still reading through....

Missed you gals and glad to be back!

Hi Lola Welcome back! You have been missed around here

[Hobbermittens]

Lola, nice to see you! Hope the New Year is good luck for all of us.

Cinss, did you test again?

Bec, when can you test?

Iluv, it sounds like you have a lot of good resources for your DD, and that you have been doing a lot to help her already. Good job, mama.

TTC5, I think what Bec suggested is great for a letter. I also agree that you should contact the free lawyer services and see what they recommend before you send the letter, in case there is another protocol you should follow.

Yahmama, my last cycle was a chemical too so we're in the same situation. They say you are extra fertile the month following so fingers crossed for both of us. I know it's meant to sway girl as well but I actually don't really care anymore.

I've heard it sways girl too, but I had my son after having 2 miscarriages within 4 months, so I think you have to just view it as one of many factors! I'm not going to skip a month trying just because of it, and I'm just hoping for a sticky bean soon and praying it will be a baby brother! FX for you too! I found the chemical pregnancy to be just as devastating as my miscarriages that were a little farther along. Hope you're coping well. I find that naming every loss helps me to grieve and not feel like I have to forget them, but that they were meant to be in heaven instead of with me!

Hi, welcome, and sorry about the m/c....you are so right, they all suck just as much. It's because you get excited and envision what is to come, and then it is ripped away from you. FWIW, I wouldn't skip a month either due to worrying about it swaying. I only skipped because I wanted my uterine lining to be optimum with the 10wk loss, but with a chemical, I would go for it right away. Glad to see you here!

Hi Lola Welcome back! You have been missed around here

Thanks, lady! I needed that break from work and well, ttc and all. How are you doing? Got a 12 wk appt scheduled yet?

BOO! I'm sorry. I'm gonna give you the old "you're still early" though!!!

[3Pink1Blue]

5 - not much to say but so sorry and big, big hug

Iluv - so glad your back and all is well. Bummer on the diabetes, hope it won't be too brutal. I like Carrigan, fx dh sticks with it.

Cinss- sorry about the bfn but like others have said, early

[Cinss]

I am going to test again tomorrow morning at 12DPO, i know it's still early, but i am still crossing my fingers

[daisyfay311]

Just popping in here and there these days but wanted to say that I only know two people who have gotten pregnant the month after a chemical and both were boys. So definitely not a reason to skip a cycle in my experience.
