Surgena, I hope you can still do an attempt when you get your new cycle! I think a Nov. baby would be fabulous!

and LMN7, thanks for the encourgement!

OOTB, I understand totally....I really want you to join us in the Sept/Oct/Nov thread soooo badly! FX This is YOUR BFP cycle coming up!!

hmmmmmmmmm jelly tots by roundtree's sweets they say they have added fruit juice in them should i avoid them ?

I've had several little cheats this month so far because of feeling so frustrated. If my mom manages to make me feel at ease about moving the family Xmas gathering to a different month after December, I hope my food intake the past couple of weeks doesn't ruin my sway! Though I guess if I making my weight decrease again back on full-time strict dieting that it shouldn't matter much?

We'll see... I guess this next cycle is still up in the air until I have some sort of supportive reassurance from my mom to keep trying.

suregena, if I were you I would be sooooo tempted to try this month. We work so hard to get our sway just right, taking months off would be so frustrating! I almost didn't try the month I got my angel's BFP because my due date was going to be while my Mom would be on a 3 week trip to Spain, so she wouldn't be there to help us out with the older boys or simply to be nearby in case I needed her. I ended up trying anyway, and had no regrets once I got my BFP - I knew we'd figure something out.

If your Mom's suggesting that the Christmas celebrations can be delayed, I say go for it. Also, I think babies are technically allowed to fly after their 2 week check-up, but I could be wrong on that....

LMN7, it sounds more like a virus to me. It is likely unrelated to anything he is doing toward the sway. He obviously had a very high fever and rigors (shaking) and that can cause delerium and hallucinations. Firstly try some paracetamol to get the poor guys temp down and go from there. If you are worried about low potassium, feel his pulse on the inside of his wrist. With a fever, it is likely to be fast (over 100/min), but that is ok so long as the beats are regular. If his pulse feels slow, then fast, (jumping all over the place), or skipping beats, that can be an indicator of low potassium and/or low magnesium. GL- hope he feels better soon.

I was also going to suggest his symptoms could be related to having a fever. Sounds like a doc appointment would make sense... REally hope he feels better soon

Nevermind! I posted before reading the rest of the posts!! Will come back on later a catch up when I have more time!

AFAIK the main reason to avoid fish for us is the sodium, I don't see why he couldn't have fish

protein and healthy fats = boys...Both Dh and DW should avoid fish if possible.

I just seem to remember when I've booked flights about how infants under 6 weeks may not be allowed to fly. That was flights from the UK to Europe, though... so maybe I COULD go back. HOWEVER, I would HAVE to somehow organize a trip down to London to get her/his US passport AND then get the UK passport before I could. SO much to do when your babies are dual citizens. They absolutely have to enter/exit the countries on their respective passport. Sooo... I'd need at least a month to sort all of that out!

I think I will try this month. I've messed up on the diet the past two weeks, due to being so BAH HUMBUG about my lack of BFP. It's not been outrageous cheats... but have had breakfast more often than not, have had some burritos/pizza nights... but not too crazy. I've remained around 107 the past two weeks so I'm 'maintaining' right now but reverting back to the 'diet' full-one would see that number go down again... so that'd be okay, right? I've not ruined it?

If it doesn't happen this month, then I WILL wait until May. Sigh.

My mom wants me to not take vitex. But I tried to tell her you want your cycle to be a bit "off" and that this time I would use digital OPKs with regular OPKs AND temping to really pinpoint my ovulation...

At this rate, though, any baby would be born in December! Geez!

[Mochagirl]

I wouldn't worry too much about the diet as long as you get back into it 100% right now. I say go for it, suregena! I don't want you to have to wait until May!!!

now ive found in my family that the differences in each pregnancy relate to the gender, all my sisters were "off" with there boys and sick as dogs with there girls, so that sounds promising auroara hun !!!

Absolutely!! I was so sick with only dd ( on IV's for hydration every week). I only got sick one time with the boys.
