TTC boy Feb 2012 chit chat thread

[3Pink1Blue]

Wannahealthybaby - I was/am a big fan of the HE diet. I ate lots of fruits/veg and meats and stuck to full fat dairy. I didn't as much add meat as eat a greater variety. I used to eat mostly chicken and turkey burger so I made sure to eat more red meat and pork. Breakfast was always eggs, bacon and hash browns. I avoided all processed foods except bread and drank only juice, coffee, water and green tea.
Glad I provide hope, after 3 girls I honestly never thought I'd get my guy

Ladies with funky cycles, it's probably your sups and will hopefully even out.

I'm doing good thanks, only 12 days till bub will be here! Very curious to see what she looks like, I've been having all sorts of dreams about it. I think I've been having BH contractions for 2 days, haven't had them all pregnancy but I assume that is what it is.

11 days now!!!!!

[TTC5]

Thank you everyone for the congrats! I will feel much more at ease after getting my betas re-checked next week. On Thurs (13dpo) they were 24.3, so I go back next Thurs, at which time they should be around 300 something if they are doubling properly. I'm definitely more at ease with this one than my loss in Dec. b/c I've still got very sore bbs whereas they didn't stay that way in Dec., and my test is showing up on the less sensitive test that it never showed up on in Dec. Just praying and praying this is a sticky one!

Congratulations!!!!!!

My AF is gone...only lasted 3 days and now today I just have slightly brown tinged CM. Very weird for me...it used to last 5-7 days. After DD#5 was born it shortened to 4 days...but now 3?? Does that say anything about my fertility declining or anything?

Please don't panic, I would put it down to dietry changes and supps!

[TTC5]

So as for me ladies, sick with a flu and on strict bed rest have been here for days now but I am ok with that anything for my baby

We announced it too hopefully not jumping the gun but we are sooo excited!!!

[b3blue]

Congratulations Yah!!! stick baby stick!


Sorry you have the flu TTC5 but yay for announcing!!

Cinss-- SS about your cycle

3Pink- Thanks for the pep talk! I start my day with bacon & eggs with DH at 5am when he leaves for work. Then I have special k (which is actually not that bad..i've never had grown up cereal lol) when the girls get up at 8ish with a banana. Lunch will hopefully be some sort of salad with either soup or a sandwich. I also love snacking on hash browns with melted mozzarella cheese wrapped in a tortilla with homemade salsa. My MIL showed me that and omgosh it's so good and screams blue!

I've mapped out the whole month of March's dinners with beef twice a week. We pretty much never have red meat aside from meatballs so my DH is thrilled! I'm hoping that does the trick. We used to drink sweet tea by the gallon too (horrible I know) but it has been replaced with a gallon of water, green tea once a day and v-8 splash once a day. Please God let this do the trick! If anything I'm eating the best I ever have and perhaps it could be a permanent change. I haven't given up my morning coffee, but absolutely no soda otherwise (also huge for me).

3-I have to try this wrap sound so good! I don't like salsa but i love tomato so I just add that !
