TTC Girl - January 2012

These cramps make me want to sit in a hot bath! They're not bad... but achey... almost feel them mildly in my lower back.

If I'm not pregnant, this is just silly. Ha.

Hopefully you are suregena

how many dpo are you hun ? oh i see well im so sorry its pooped up your attempt for next month, will you be having some cheat days now as you need to skip next month ?

I think 11dpo. Yes, I am having cheat days. I am not even hungry at all and I am eating like crazy anyways! My dh wanted me to gain weight anyways, so I decided to just eat whatever I want for a few days and then I still have a good 6 weeks of strict LE diet after that. It is the one nice thing about all this! How are you doing? Have you done your clomid cycle yet this month?

Amazing what some of the moms comments are. I happily cannot relate on this one. My mom supports whatever decision I make, and would be happy and support me either way whether I had more children, or not. The only reason she cares about the gender of my next is because I care plain and simple. This is a big part of why I desperately want a DD, I want to have the relationship she has with me, with a daughter of my own.

Auoara~ I like the way you are thinking about your little bean. Must be hard that it means so much to your mom what the gender is of the baby. I'd feel similar to you the way you are thinking about it makes so much sense.

Amari~ Hope your feeling better. I just came on to se how you are doing.

Out of the Blue~ your posts are great, you really make me laugh

I think its looking hopeful for all of you in the 2ww odds are at least some of you will get a BFP. STAY AWAY AF, STAY AWAY..

Thanks for checking, hun! Feeling a lot better. Looking on the bright side and just enjoying eating for a few days and then going to renew my LE diet with a fresh start for the next 6 weeks after that before I can try again. How are you doing??

Atomic said in the blue forum: " the pink swayers throw away the first batch and only use the second! If you DTD two times in succession, that will simply add more sperm into the vagina which would be GOOD for blue. Also the high pH of the semen may help max. numbers of sperm from the second batch to survive."

I'm soooo paranoid about my sway! We DTD all together 6(!!) times because I got all whigged out about my lack of positive OPKs and confused about when I was due to O but I didn't want to miss out this month.

I'm having a lot of "symptoms" (for whatever they're worth) so now I am looking at my sway in hindsight and feeling nervous!

He FR at least once a day and sometimes 3 times a day started January 8th. We DTD once the night of the 18th (he released twice before that attempt in the day), then again the morning of 19th, and then he went all day WITHOUT releasing himself and we DTD again the night of the 19th...
The 20th we DTD in the AM and at night (although now I'm starting to forget which days were what but I think that's how it went!)
Then 21st PM DTD... without any FR. During these attempts, the only FR was the first day, er, as far as I know.

The first couple of attempts I was probably just due to use repHresh so likely not in there as effectively, but put another applicator in halfway. All the while on antihistamines, etcetera.

I should just go to bed and stop analyzing!

I think doing the diet and the anithistamines and rephresh counteract all the other stuff of dtd multiple times. He also did fr to lower overall sperm count.

I hope I did enough! I know I wish I had been stronger in my diet HOWEVER my weight DID go from around 113 or 115 lbs to 103.8 last I checked while we started DTD!

My weight has rebounded a bit... back up to around 106 lbs, right now... though. I blame it ALL on my son's 2nd birthday! Oops...

Suregena~ I agree with Amari and was going to say the same thing before I saw her response.

Amari~ I am doing good too. I go back to my doctor on Wednesday. Each time I go for a visit we step down the steroids I am on. I started 3 a day, then 2 alternating with 3, now I am at 1 a day alternating with 2! Still healthy, so Should be off completely soon, and then have it out of my system for my attempt in February. I was so upset when I had to miss December! Then I got worse and had to miss January. In hindsight, its not such a bad thing. My plan is completely set, I did not have to be on LE through holidays etc. I think it will be the same for you. You can gain some weight back, enjoy eating a little, get your health in order and be ready for March. It won't feel so agonizing, once you've had a break! You'll have to do a ticker like mine!!
I read the thread you posted, FWIW I wouldn't wait for Friday for a sono. Can you call to go sooner.
