TTC boy Feb 2012 chit chat thread

Sorry soni! It sucks TTC. I think more attempts are good. Are you using preseed? I got pg the first month I tried that!

Hobber, I used egg whites the last couple of months. Yes - I think we will try preseed this month and maybe drop the BSF too. Did you do BSF?

AFM... ladies can I just brag a minute? I hit my goal weight! 40lbs down!! I'm so happy I feel so very much better about myself. I also set my goal so I can add a little padding back on when I start an active swaying diet Honor is also thriving so well... I am making tons of milk and she's also eating solids like a champ. I just love her so much. She's an incredible mama's girl still - I can't leave her with anyone but DH but don't really mind.

My cycles are still being strange. After the bleed I had I've had nothing... no more periods, no nothing for well over a month. I can't figure out what my body is doing which is a little frustrating. Breastfeeding and fertility is just weird. But in a way I'm happy my body seems to figure it's not quite ready for normal cycles yet. A little nerve-wracking wondering if I might O at any time, though. Thinking my cycles were starting and then having them not really do so has given me a weird case of pregnancy/babylust though!!! I just keep cuddling my little Honor close

Skrimpy - Great job on the weight loss! Your days with Honor sound so great too, i am so clucky and wanting that little snuggley baby in my arms. I agree BF and fert are so weird, i was unlucky with DD i got my regular periods 1 month after giving birth, i BF full time for the first 6 months, and didn't stop until she was 14 months. Everyone was telling me that BF makes you have no periods!

As for my temps, i am still puzzeled, i have not added anything to our bed, we actually sleep with no cover at the moment because it is so humid where we live, maybe that is the reason. I usually have 1 glass of wine before dinner each night so it wouldn't be that either. I am pretty positive it is not pregnancy, or maybe i will end up on that "I didn't know i was pregnant show" haha.

BFN at 11dpo. Tested with a FRER using FMU

We have been TTC for 2 months and I am getting so impatient. DD was a oopsie, so wasn't even trying then. I just thought it would be easier to get pregnant esp if we are tracking O etc and trying to do it close to O. I am so depressed! TTC is no fun. I wonder if I am not conceiving because I am so consumed by the TTC thoughts and being pregnant - maybe I should take it easy.

The first month we had 1 attempt, this month we had 2, but still BFP. I think ill change it up next month maybe DTD every other day for the entire month.

I know it's discouraging, but maybe it's a late BFP with a boy!

Great job!!!! It might also be your weight loss affecting your cycles...I had some strange cycles when I lost weight and it seemed my body didn't ovulate a few months. I'm sure you'll be back normal soon! A lot of things going on can really combine with each other!

I love that show!!! But I wouldn't want to be on it! Lol...are you maybe coming down with something?

yes, I did the BSF 1 hr before each attempt. I used EW every month that I got a BFN, and the first month I used preseed I got a BFP. I don't know if it was just coincidence or if the EW was keeping me from getting pg?

The month i fell I dropped the BSF and upped the pre seed

[Hobbermittens]

Skrimpy, nice job on the weight loss!! I am so impressed. I bet your cycles are out of whack from losing 40 lbs-- it will probably take a while for them to regulate. Good luck!!

How much preseed did you use 5?
