January 2012 Chit Chat Thread for TTC Boy

[Hobbermittens]

You think so? Well, we DTD CD11 in the pm, and then CD 13 in the am, so I guess we will see what happens with the temps. I usually don't O that early... and my cervix was open last night (haven't checked today). I had a glob of EW this morning, too.

I really HOPE I didn't O on CD12... I never have that early before, and if it was early that day, it could have been in a female moon sign! That's so lame, because one of the things I was excited about this cycle was that I should have O'ed smack dab in the center of a male moon sign.

Plus, I was drinking ASG and BSD for two days after that! You aren't supposed to do that after O!

So am around a week after O now and no symptoms but going to throw this in anyway, I can't stop blowing my nose!!!!!!

[Cinss]

Hobber, yeah i thought cd12 sounds really early, and it is strange that FF isn't saying anything about O at this stage, never know maybe you are still going to O?

[Cinss]

TTC5 is not testing doing your head in, or are you fine just waiting to see if AF comes?

[Hobbermittens]

Hobber, yeah i thought cd12 sounds really early, and it is strange that FF isn't saying anything about O at this stage, never know maybe you are still going to O?

CD12 is early for me, but I do normally O between CD13-CD15. Once on CD16 when we were going ob vacation and it was delayed by stress.

I will add that while DTD this morning, I could feel DH hitting the cervix, but not yesterday morning, and it was the same position, same time of day, so I guess it is possible that I O'ed yesterday and the cervix had dropped down this morning.... CD12 is early for me, but I do normally O between CD13-CD15.

[Cinss]

Hobber - Well at least you have it narrowed down to a couple of days, i think all your bases are covered and you really have a great shot this time, oh how i wish i O'd on cd anythingteen, i have to wait for cd20-24.

[Hobbermittens]

Cinss, I wouldn't care at all except that I was really hoping to O in a boy sign, and it seems if I O'ed on CD12 then it was on the cusp, so that bums me out. CD13 would be great, so I hope that was the day. I guess I will wait and see what FF says, but sometimes I don't agree with them. That first high temp I was sure was because of being up a bunch, so I fully expected a lower temp today. I wouldn't have DTD this morning if I knew I already O'ed! I hope we didn't do an O+12 by accident, though I think that is impossible with swimmers waiting in the crypts. Right?

Sorry you have to wait so long for O day, but you know what, I think you get more time to prepare!

OK, I have a zillion comments since been working like crazy this week!

HELLO AND WELCOME to Sam and BabyBlessings! You might get dubbed "BB" for short. Sam, sounds like you are ready to go! I haven't heard much about how long it takes the typical cycle to get back into gear after Mirena, but hopefully it is soon! BB, couple of comments above, but glad you ladies are here! Like the others said, do not feel bad for a second asking anything here. We are all here to cheer each other on and help you give your best shot to swaying for a boy. Definitely recommend reading through all of the sticky posts on the ttc boy forum for all the "base" info about swaying. There are a lot of methods and beliefs out there, but I will say that the methods on this site are really based on science and experience....not so much on old IG methods or wives tales. But we are here for ya!

3P1B, I am sorry you are having to deal with Charlie being a stinker already! I think you are right on though....try the inversion, and then if nothing, just have a c-section and think about the silver linings: no worrying about him during a high-risk delivery attempt, no labor and rushes to hospital, and you will look lovely in the photos. I remember my doc telling me that franks breeches don't often turn- not to bum you out- and honestly, as a mom who has had both a c-section and vaginal birth, it's not THAT big of a deal in regards to the experience. Recovery, yes, a bit harder. But if you need a section, don't worry about it. If he is big and frank breech, seems like your 1st decision as a good mama to him is to just do the section and get super pumped about your baby boy's birth.

Kris, buggar about the glucose test! I hope all is well....is Sarah ttc now or are you just waiting for your little lady and putting that on hold?

MFC, I totally agree with everyone- do not worry about the size. I know it is easy to worry when you've had m/c, but all looks well and your doc is not alarmed at all, so that is a good sign that there is no need to worry. And what a cute little wiggler you got there! I love that you saw him/her moving around so much! That is a GREAT sign!

TTC5- girl, don't be feeling bummed yet! When you know you have to potentially ttc for a while, you just have to let go of signs and feelings and being obsessed with it in general....trust me. It's hard to let go of, but you will be much happier when you just live your life and ttc on the side. But you are not out at all....your hormones are clearly working, so who knows, maybe that's a good sign? And I think it is an EXCELLENT idea to investigate suing for damages to cover IVF should you want to do that. With a good lawyer, a hospital will settle on that super quick versus having to deal with negative press and having to pay you millions, kwim? Of course, millions are bad, either, but you will have a shorter, quicker go of it all if you are just asking for the IVF to be covered. That is my 2 cents, at least! (I have a bunch of lawyer friends, obviously.)

Cinss, sorry about AF. Gear up for this month! FX for you!!!

Iluv, good to hear from you! I like the Delphine name as well. Super cute. They are all cute, actually! Carrigan is just adorable, sounds like a strong girl name. How are your others doing? DD2? xxoo

As for moi, we dtd again last night, so ended up 4 times in 3 days, O-1, O and O+1 just to be sure we caught an egg. I am going to test on my bday, which will be 12dpo (the 21st). I had a m/c on my bday last year, so I figure the universe should be cool to me and let me have a bday bfp. (: Best of luck to everyone!!!!

I had my second glucose test yesterday so we'll see tomorrow what it says! Sarah isn't TTC at the moment, we're just concentrating on this one baby for the time being. See how we go with her then we'll decide if we want 2

Hi Ladies,

Wanted to introduce myself - I have a 3 yo DD and we would dearly like a son next as it will be our last baby. I have been reading up on all the great info here on this site. DD was an oopsie and I had no idea I was pregnant till I missed my period. So, I am now educating myself on our cycle, ovulation, etc. We wanted to start TTC next month in Feb and I was using OPKs to try to figure out my O day. We did bd 24 hours after I got a +ve OPK because I got really excited and did not want to miss a month of TTC.
Now I am a little bummed that I did not give my body enough time to prepare for a boy sway. I am currently on DPO2 and this waiting game is driving me batty!
Thanks so much for listening! You are a great bunch of ladies here

[Cinss]

Hi Soni... Best of luck with your attempt, the odds are in your favour anyway having 1 girl already.
