January 2012 Chit Chat Thread for TTC Boy

Lola the Bar Method was developed by a dancer, and it does use a bar for support, but it's not actually ballet. It's strength training and toning. I use the dip bars on DH's pull-up unit for my ballet bar lol! I really enjoy it. The kids like trying to do it right along with me, hah!

My cycles with the first three started while they were nursing and got normal right away. With #4, they started back around this age, but took like 6 months to get normal. I've nursed all of them til past a year, two until two, and one (#3) until 32 months... but my periods came back long before they weaned. I am kind of hoping if they come back soon with Honor they will hurry themselves up and be like clockwork. I don't like the wondering and wonkiness! She is enthusiastic about solids, so I am expecting it to come back anytime.

Oooo, that is cool! We have a barre at home, of course. LOL I will check that out. I just can't get myself to the gym after a long day at work....I would so much rather be home with my family making dinner and doing homework and hanging out. I have to figure out how to work out during the day.

That is nice that your cycles come back while nursing.....mine don't at all! And I just keep the weight on until I wean also. It literally melts off within the week of weaning. But eh, so worth it. So, do you guys have ttc again on the schedule?

3P1B - OMG...how do they physically do some of those positions? I looked at that site for an hour!! LOL

RIGHT?!?! I think I'd look like a hippo getting a veterinary exam in some of those positions.

[LolaInLove]

LOL Bec!!

I have been so good this cycle have not tested at all... DH has me on a ban now we got this latest fertility news.. just can't go wasting more money for more BFN's

I am the same way....I only use 1 per cycle, and try to test 12dpo or later. I get 10 in the pack of Wondfo I get along with 40 opks from Amazon, so it's not that big of a bite. Heck, that combo pack is cheaper than a box of 2 FRERS. Sorry though, hun. Keep trying. All you can do.

I have never counted backwards to get my O date, but I guess if you know how long your LP is typically, then you probably could do that. My LP is usually 12 days, but occasionally it will be 11 or 13, so even that isn't exact. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

This is exactly right. Not everyone has a 2 week LP, so it is inaccurate. It's like the whole "just dtd on CD14 and you'll get pg" crap. My LP ranges from 11-14 days also. Best to try to pinpoint your O with opks, temps, and cm. I would not use expired tests myself. They expire for a reason, just like food and meds.

No idea I have never had a BT for pregnancy before?

Oh, and also, my doc always just does an hpt....that is probably the first thing they will do anyway rather than draw blood and send to the lab. I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier- mine won't do a beta unless you are having problems and are definitely confirmed pg.

Who is testing soon?

Me! I'm testing on Saturday (my birthday). Yikes.

Hi MFC! Hope you are feeling well, love!!!!!!!

[Hobbermittens]

Me! I'm testing on Saturday (my birthday). Yikes.

Happy early birthday, Lola! What are you doing for your big day (besides getting a BFP! )?

[Hobbermittens]

BFN :'(

Oh no! I'm so sorry... I thought for sure this was your month!

[LolaInLove]

Happy early birthday, Lola! What are you doing for your big day (besides getting a BFP! )?

I would be happy with just that! I actually have to work for a bit, but then hopefully doing something groovy with the kids and old DH. I am sooooooo being ridiculously optimistic this month, which is maybe a bad thing. I tend to take getting my hopes dashes pretty hard, which is why I usually employ some self-protective crap like telling myself all day that I don't really want any more kids and then downing a bottle of wine after another bfn. LOL

Lola - yeah I too was a big fan of a few to many glasses of wine the day af appeared. FX you won't be drinking on your b-day
