January 2012 Chit Chat Thread for TTC Boy

So, I got another high temp this morning, and FF says I O'ed on CD12 like you ladies thought. I still can't believe it, though! I feel like I should discard the temp for CD13, because I honestly was awake for quite a while before I took it (I woke up at 4 and wasn't planning on getting up until 4:30, and I didn't want to take my temp too early (I usually take around 530 or 6) so I waited to take it until 4:30 I think. I don't know how much difference that makes.

Anyway, the whole thing annoys me because I NEVER O that early, so I feel like I was robbed of doing a propper sway--we atempted on the odd days, so CD9, CD11 & CD13, so I had two attempts in there before I O'd if I actually DID O on CD12... But that means no attempt on the actual O day! Plus, the opk didn't go positive on that day until the afternoon--is it really possible to O before the opk goes positive, or so quickly afterward? I usually O about 24-36 hrs AFTER a +opk!!

Hobbs, I don't think you can O before a + opk....I'm pretty sure your LH must surge in order to push ovulation to occur. I really think you did on CD13, maybe even later. But, tell you what, don't worry about the timing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know you are really doing a hard-core sway, but you know that the timing has not at all been proven to be of importance. Don't stress about it!

Hobber- it is an interesting name choice, we all pretty much hate it. Even my girls think it's dumb lol Thanks Hun, I love the belly too but man is it getting huge lol

Flava - good to hear from you, glad you're feeling ok about not ttc anymore. Sometimes it's just easier to move on.

5 - lots of snot huh lol could be fx 12 days?! Wowsa!

Soni- welcome! Keep working your diet and safe sups that way if you are preg no harm and if you're not you're better prepared for the next attempt.

Skrimpy - thanks for the info!

Holy crap ladies, so excited today! HE TURNED!! Based on the location of the heartbeat and a good belly groping my midwife was sure he was still head up (as was I) but didn't want to schedule the version till we were sure so off to the in office u/s room. She went to where we both thought the head was and low and behold no head, went to the bottom and there it was! She was so surprised she checked three times. Found the head followed the spine, legs and back down lol I can't even tell you how relieved we are!

YAY!!! I don't know if you were using Spinning Babies tactics, but they totally work! Every mom I've suggested it to has had theirs turn! (My doula recommended that to me to keep my 2nd from going wackadoodle just in case.) GO CHARLIE!!!

And yea- Silver? WTF? They are some weird birds. And CRAP- I forgot to ask Sarah about the TX thing.....going to FB her right now. Sorry, the holidays got in my face there and distracted me. Just thinking about how nice to be away from that clan.

I am happy to have another girl, and I know a reading (or two) is just a reading. But now they have left me wondering if all the effort of planning and diet changing etc is worth it if I am just going to have another girl you know! Not feeling down about the girl part....but down about the fact that no matter what I do apparently always ends with the exact same result!! And Cara even predicted ANOTHER girl down the track after this next one...WTF?? I have NO plans for another baby at all. Am I just some weird girl producing freak lol

Thanks for the reassurance... I know timing isn't as big a factor (which is why I went ahead and DTD 4 times this cycle) BUT I am pissed about possibly Oing on the cusp of a girl/boy moon sign. I know not a lot of people put stock in that, and I guess I wouldn't care so much, but I had been so excited that the moon sign changed CD12 in the pm and stayed in a boy sign until today, so I thought for sure we were in the clear! It was the first cycle that I had gotten to attempt during a boy moon sign, so I guess it is an extra let down that it possibly didn't happen.

5 there is a girl at my work that only goes every 2-3 weeks and always has. But I have a feeling it's a pregnancy sign!!

How soon can a pregnancy show with a blood test?

[TTC5]

Holy shizz, 12 days? Are you eating much? What constipates me in pregnancy is the iron in prenatals....I've never had it in the 2ww though.....are you feeling ok?

Yep eating plenty not taking pre natal, only folic acid. I feel fine. A little crampy in the uterus but that is prolly cos AF is on it's way?

[TTC5]

So I got an app at 3.15 this afternoon... should I ask for a blood test or is it too early? Don't even know why I am letting myself get hopeful!

I totally get that. I had a few tell me girl, too, and i thought the same thing...why bother doing anything if I am just getting another girl? It ends up making you feel like the whole chicken and the egg thing, right? Like would you get another girl if you swayed, or is it that you won't bother swaying because you are predicted a girl, so then you get a girl? (Does that make sense?)

Three of my girl predictions are already passed because I didn't get pregnant when they said, so I am hoping that means I am in the clear!

POP, haven't the psychics been wrong a good bit? I have to say, I would not base my decision to not have any more kids or stop swaying or whatever on what they say. Heck, one said I'd have 2 boys after my 2 girls. Like that is going to happen. You know what I mean......don't get discouraged by all of this, and PLEASE don't feel like you are a girl-making freak. It may be that you and your DH are programmed to make girls, but MAYBE with swaying for a bit your tides will turn blue! Don't give up!

Aren't you only like 7dpo or so? I guess just ask about the beta. I would say probably too early unless you are like 12dpo or so? Keep us updated!
