TTC a BOY May Chit Chat Thread

[LolaInLove]

It must be frustrating feeling like that. I am very frustrated at having to wait and not being able to TTC right NOW. Who says I should wait? It's unfair. I just have to keep reminding myself I have two healthy kids and some people don't even get to have one child, let alone two. I don't know why I've been feeling so sorry for myself lately because I really have no reason to. But just seeing pregnant people makes me mad and sad. I mean I am happy for them, but I'm so jealous. I should have been pregnant now too. Arghh rant over.

This is exactly how I feel! Except I don't feel that way towards pregnants that I know here or irl....isn't that weird? It's only the pregnant strangers. You are right though, we are lucky that we already have 2 kids. I think the sad thing for me is that I want my DH to experience the pregnancy/childbirth/baby thing so badly (he met us when my girls were 2 and 5), but I desperately want one more also. It's almost like a mission at this point for me. I tell him sometimes that he doesn't even know how wonderful it is and what he is missing yet, and he just smiles, because he doesn't. Bec, if I can do it someday, you can too! And I bet you'll find you are pregnant soon enough without too much intervention.

Skrimpy, that is such a HE diet! Nice! How do you make the broth drink? Hopefully your move will be smooth....maybe the older kids can even help a bit? It's such a shame that people don't get as excited about your 6th as your 1st. I like your strategy for finding out and not telling, either. Glad you will indulge us, of course!!! LOL you must have been in heat, indeed! I can tell when I am and need to bd for sure. Aw, I am so excited for you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LolaInLove]

Ok, I am just going to do a multi-post here.

Cinss, get on it, girl!!! Good luck!

POP, wowsers, sounds like you are pulling out every trick in the book, good for you! I find some comes out as well, but we try to prop me up before he pulls out (do you guys remember the legs around the neck hold while he puts the pillow under there?). Sometimes I will put an instead cup in while propped up too and I find that not too much comes out. But honestly, even if some comes out, there is still oodles in there. You know, men have a range of volume from 1.5ml to 5.5ml (those are the normal ranges), and so if your DH has a "larger load" as mine does, then it's ok if a little comes out, there is still plenty in there. Heck, Skrimpy probably only got a drop and look at her all pregnant! Hope this is your month and Cinss' too!

And of course, come on AF of Bec!!!

I bet 3P1B is busy as can be. You know how life gets this time of year when school is almost out, and she's got her little Charlie man too.

So, not that we want to leave this site, but what do you guys think about a FB group for those interested? Bec and I were discussing and we think it would be cool, and we can look at pics and such. I have one from IG with about 7 folks and we still chat even though they all have babies now! If anyone is interested, pm me and we'll link up and I'll add you. And this is not just for boy swayers, whoever is cool.

Lola, I will join that FB group once I announce to my family that I am pregnant--otherwise they might find out through FB. I can't believe I am 20 weeks and haven't told my parents, in-laws or sister yet! they are going to flip!

[Hobbermittens]

I find when DTD and DH pulls out heaps leaks back out....like a waterfall.

Your DH must be...big?

[Hobbermittens]

LOL Hobber!! I promise there must have been some powerful hormones going on there... we are not normally so hot and heavy. I must have just been in heat, plain and simple lol. The time before this time had been a week before, too, since we were TTA, so there was some built up pressure, as DH likes to say

I do find him to be incredibly sexy though, it's nice to have a DH who still turns you on!

I am still really attracted to my DH too after 12 years, so that's always good!! We used to be like rabbits, before having kids, but these days we are so tired it is hard to make time to DTD! Kind of sad. I am glad your sex life is alive and well!

Yeah we try that but it still leaks out everywhere....I have pretty strong pelvic floor muscles and I find if I move or anything that makes those muscles tense it waterfalls out lol

I was exactly the same with my last 2 children Hobbs. I waited until 21 weeks and will do the same this time too!! I know how you feel about it all.

Your DH must be...big?

Lol...yup huge

[Cinss]

Lola yep i'd join the FB group 4 sure

POP i know what you mean about the leaking, how bad is it when you have to sneeze after DTD, it's like "oh no oh no ahhhh choo, damn!" hahaha. I didn't leak any from last night which was not normal for me, DP said before we DTD he is empty and really wasn't that into it, and it actually really hurt, my cervix feels all banged up cause he is not a small fella either. I dont think we will be going again tonight, im still in a little pain So thats it for me this cycle, i hope i did enough, i am sure you have and if just one of us gets a BFP this time it will be you.

Bec im sorry you have to wait to jump back on the TTC train, but your body is just getting ready, and by the time AF comes and goes you should have a nice comfy place inside ready to stick your little bean to.

Oh yes, I should specify that I don't feel like that towards people on here, it's just strangers or people that I don't know well. Like, there is this girl at work who fell pregnant first month, no complications or anything. It is her first and I am very happy for her but every time I see her I feel a little sad. Silly. I guess in a way it is kinda nice that you're DH doesn't know what he is missing. I mean that in a nice way. I'm sure he desperately wants a baby but until he experiences it for himself he won't completely understand. It's like before you have gone through childbirth, you have no idea what it is like. I would like to feel like that again Ahh to be niave. Thanks Lola, I really hope we don't have to go through too much fertility treatment. What will be will be though.

I can't believe your family don't know! I couldn't keep it to myself for that long.
