January 2012 Chit Chat Thread for TTC Boy

If i was to take a psychic reading seriously i would need to see testimonial after testimonial that this person has a success rate of 100% when predicting the gender of unconcieved children. They have as much credibility as Joe Blow walking down the street, taking a guess is easy, its a guess. My sister was told by 3 different psychics that she would have a girl for her 3rd, guess what, she had a boy. These people are taking money from vulnurable people who desperatly want to hear what they want to hear, and some keep going until they hear the right guess.

No, it was open still the night of CD13. But it is definitely closed today (CD15).Who knows? Yahmama, it was more than just beong up a bunch. It was that I was actually awake and laying there about 1/2 hour before I took my temp. I am not sure what that means. I also slept like crap ( you know that kind of fitful sleep where you wake up every few minutes). I had another similar night earlier in the cycle and it was my highest temp all cycle. Who know, I guess there is no telling, I just wanted this cycle to be perfect and then my stupid body had to throw a wrench in it!

I figure there's so many factors that we are never going to get a completely perfect month and that staying positive is probably best and to forget the rest that will drive us batty!!! So, here's to tons of for all of us this month!!!!

Hey Soni! Welcome over. There have been a lot of good oopsies on this site lately, if it makes you feel better! (Mostly with the girl swayers.) I'm 3dpo so we can go batty together.

Thanks Lola! This is the first time I am experiencing the 2ww and its killing me. All I can think about is whether I am pregnant or not. The days are crawling by.. LOL

[Son4meplz]

I am new here and catching up with posts at snails speed..
Yahmama: good luck for tonight.
Soni: welcome..don't worry too much...sometimes even with all the preparations and planning, one cannot perfect the attempt.
HobberMittens: good to know that the baby turned.

I am guessing my attempt will be on Sunday night....sadly, I ran out of all cheap OPks..now, the only ones I have are smiley ones...completely forgot About this...does anyone know some cheaper options?

I am also very worried about egg white and instead cup choices....never tried before...I am confused between these two options...any suggestions are welcome.
1) insert egg white inside and then DTD directly inside.
2) Collect semen in instead cup and then layer with egg white and push the cup inside.

please suggest which one is better.

I personally think it's best for DH to deposit as close to your cervix as possible instead of inside the instead cup. I put in the instead cup afterwards to hold everything up there for a few hours after BD!

I agree. I only used the instead cup when I needed to get up afterwards, but if I was just laying down for the night, I didn't mess with it. It is up to you!

I have a blockage/obstruction been given some FLEET (phospho soda) and if that doesn't work hopsital I go. Nothing is in my bowel hence the no urge to go its all blocked in the intestines. I'm also getting tested next week my thyroid and for diabetes (on Tuesday).
Dr will do a BT for pregnancy next week.

[Cinss]

TTC5, glad you got that checked out... hopefully the drink works. And Yay, if no AF next week you will get the BT

[Cinss]

son4me goodluck with your attempt on Sunday, i get my cheap OPKs on ebay, but they take a few days to arrive. Just keep checking your cervix, when it is soft and open you are really really close to O. I won't use EW personally, but if you want to i would just insert some the same way you would with lube and DTD the normal way (doggie) for deepest penetration. Then chuck the instead cup in if you really want to.
