I had the mirena removed last week so waiting for my cycle to return and decide what its doing. I have opk's at the ready that i have been taking daily hoping to have some idea when i may ovulate again!! Taking Ferlicare as heard it helps sway blue, trying to up the bananas and tomatos as snacks and hoping to dtd as close to Ov as possible.

Looking forward to getting to know you all.

I had a friend who conceived the first month after having it removed, so you never know what your body will do! Welcome and GL!!!

Lbam- thanks

Babyblessings- I too am a huge believer in vit d. I was diagnosed with a sever deficiency after dd3 and have been taking a supplement ever since, I really believe it made a difference.

Sam- Welcome!! Make sure you read over the high everything diet when upping your food intake. A lot of success has come from nutrient dense foods and very little processed ones. Gl and fx you get your little guy!!

Lola- thanks Hun. I've been tormenting my midwife and reading through the good sites (webmd, americanpregnancy etc.) to get as much info about this as possible. So yes, I know that franks have the least chance of turning and are the hardest to manually turn especially when the baby is bigger. The silver lining is what I'm clinging to, the thought of being able to call the ones flying in and say ok here's the date book your flight is awesome. I've had two middle of the night hospital runs, a leisurely trip would be nice. And if we know the date I can let the kids school/teachers know and just keep them home as opposed to dealing with pulling them out. They want to be at the birth and as much as a c-section won't be the same we still want them there and waiting. I think I'm almost done crying and panicking about it all, it is what it is and getting him here safely is all that matters.
Fx a solid heathy swimmer caught that egg! Fx for the best birthday present ever!

Of course!!! I think that is perfect timing, to be honest. And seems like you can track your O like a champ since you got it last time. Hope it happens again and you get a sticky bean this time!

3P1B, I think you have an awesome attitude about it. And that would be way easy for family and the girls to be there. Heck, if you had it scheduled for X date at 8am, the girls could just be in the waiting room with your extended family and come in and see you in like an hour! I hope you are right and I get the best bday gift ever.....so so hope you are right.

Lola - thanks hun, i'm a half full kinda girl, it just took me a little longer to get there this time. I'm sending all my baby dust to you and have my fingers tightly crossed.

Oh I almost forgot. For those that remember my idiot bil and his gf who were having their second girl, well they had her late last night. I haven't heard much more then that but we'll be going to see her tonight. Did I mention her horrible name? Silver Marie. Yup I actually have to utter the words "my niece Silver" (shudders).

Lola, I hope you get a birthday BFP! That sounds like the best birthday present ever!

3P1B, I have met a Sterling, but never a Silver. Interesting name choice...

Can someone look at my chart? I am pretty sure today is O day, or it could have been yesterday? Not sure, but my temps are wacky! I got a +opk yesterday as well as the day before, and I usually O the day of the - opk (which would be today) but on occasion I O on the second +opk day. Either way, the temps for the past few days are high, BUT i was also sleeping poorly because I had to make sure I was up early enough to prepare for DTD (Do my BSF, had to make DH his coffee, etc) before the kids were up. I was still taking my temp around the regular time, maybe an hour or so early, but that's it. Anyway, I THINK I O'ed but won't know until I see tomorrow's temp. Tell me what y'all think:

Hey girls! sorry again I don't read back. I saw the pic from Fab on the page I was stuck lol hey that baby is cute already!!! Look like he is smiling :-)

Lola- I just learned that strawberry stimulates testosterone and sperm activity. So if a man eat a lot he will have more T and better sperms. Tell DH to start eating a lot of it it can only help. Hope he loves it and not allergic lol.

How is everyone else? Im sorry for the bfn's . There was any bfp? Who go it?
Hope everyone get a sticky bfp soon! Let's say on next try !
Im on weight loss and it's sucks Im hungry and lazy to workout lol. so it's going slow.

Hey Flava!! We miss you! Are you for sure not trying this cycle? I thought you were possibly going to come back after the Holidays and try one last time?
Weight loss is a pain in the ass. But it feels great once the weight is off. Good luck!!

No Im not :-( O is already over so that's it. This month sucks the most I wanted a October baby! Hopefully the "no more baby" thing will be easier now...
But on the other hand DD4 is playing more with her big sisters now not waking up every night (but still wakes up some lol) trying to learn to go potty and this thing are nice. Good to have some me time .very little but anyway hehe
Of course i would take a 100% boy , but we all know that's not gonna happen so we are done.
I think DH is happy we don't ttc anymore and I don't want another baby if he don't. So we are done.
