TTC a BOY March Chit Chat Thread!

[LolaInLove]

TTC5, I am so excited about your nub guesses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your baby is adorable already, that is all I can tell you!

[Princess of Pink]

Aurora we would love to have you here...besides we can swap you with me...no doubt I will end up with girl#6 and at least on the TTC Girl board I will feel like a success!! lol

5....super cute baby!! I think Boy but suck at reading u/s unless they are blazingly obvious!! hehehehehe

Well, I don't either....but I think the HCG does 2 things- helps curb your appetite while you have a 500 cal a day diet for a month and also makes your body target your hard to lose fat stores better.....because when you have HCG in your system, your body thinks it is feeding a baby constantly, and there is some mechanism with the human body where it will delve into your thigh and belly fat (the bad fat, not your "good" fat) first to both nourish the baby and keep your body from deteriorating. That is the methodology behind it. Makes sense to me, because mother nature has a way of working well in situations where you can't eat because you have m/s but your baby still gets plenty of nutrition- your body is feeding your baby from your extra unneeded fat stores instead of stealing from your system. At least, this is what I understand from all of my reading about it online. Flava, maybe something to try after your baby comes? I am thinking of trying it for a few months while I prep our minds and hearts for the possible IUI with donor sperm thing (and save money for it).

Lola, check out Micheala's weight loss blog if you haven't already! It's awesome. She went on the HCG diet and lost a lot of weight! It made me motivated to do another round now that I'm not TTC.

Thanks guys xx

lola-thanks for the info. I sure really really want to try this when is my time to loose weight. Only problem is I think i can't get my hands on it...

OK..I had a temp dip today at 12dpo...BFN this morning so I am writing off this cycle! Next cycle I am leaving out the BSF completely cause I can't see why I wouldn't get a BFP using preseed and DTD O-3, O-2, O. When every other time I have TTC I got BFP first go with a lot less attempting (only 1 time in the cycle for my last 5 pregnancies). So it has to be BSF messing stuff up for me. I know 2 months trying is nothing...but for me it's huge. I feel like it's never going to work!!

Pop - the month I did not use baking soda VOILA baby!!!! I would never tell anyone to use it again and I don't even believe it is needed in swaying!

Lola - maybe have a chat with Kris she used a donor and you just have to see her on facebook to see how much love that baby has already from her family and friends!!!!

[Flava]

Why so quiet here? No one ttc a boy anymore?
PP- I did not use BS or EW it was some pre-seed. So just drop that sh**!

I did not know kris is on FB .Guess Im not in the club...

sorry POP
I agree, with the BSF I have used it the past few cycles and no BFP, so f that stuff!!
I should be O'ing this weekend and I will not be using it, so we'll see if that helps

Thanks, Aurora and Bec- I don't want to make you guys sad! I just don't want anyone to have GD ever, so I want to inspire you guys to be totally happy with your baby regardless of gender, ya know? And truthfully, I NEVER thought I'd be one of those infertile ones....I never really gave it a thought in my life, and just assumed that I would get pg in a heartbeat with my new DH. I was way overconfident in my ability to get pregnant and also super obsessed with making a boy. My perspective has changed a ton, so I hope I can help influence you all to not fret as much if you don't get your boy.

I am kinda afraid to start talking about the donor sperm thing with my DH, to be honest.....and by the way, so don't mean to hijack this thread with infertility talk!!!!!......but it is a big step, and there are a lot of things to mull over. Like you said about your friend, Bec, I think I would rather just never tell anyone, but I worry that is totally dishonest to the child. Would you be upset never knowing that the man you call your father isn't actually your biological father but you came from a frozen sperm pop? I might start a thread asking opinions. Anywho.....we'll see......a small part of me still hopes that we end up as one of those stories where it goes, "And we tried and tried, and then were about to order vials of donor sperm and then I found out I was pregnant that morning!"

TTC5, I am going to scope out your baby now!!!!! I am so glad everything looks perfect!!!!!

MFC, I hope you are hanging in there. I really think everything will be just fine, and you might need to just make a few little adjustments to your activity level, etc and all will proceed as normal. xoxo

Hi Lola, if u really go down the donor sperm path, what you can try is mixing your DH's sperm with the donor vile and then iui.Many docs do that. That way you would have a chance with it being ur own and you would never know for sure that its not DH for sure. The bulk sperms with donor could help push ur DH's sperm ahead...
u don't have to tell no-one...not even the child or others as u do not know for sure too. it can help u have mental peace and self justification. just my 2 cents....GL to you and still hope it happens naturally though...
