TTC a BOY May Chit Chat Thread

[LolaInLove]

Alexis, thank you! We are planning and saving for IVF in Prague next summer, so that is our last resort and hopefully will work if we don't get lucky before then. It's so funny how many couples, like you guys, start to pull out some bigger guns and then they find out they are pregnant a couple weeks later. Love it! And you'll never know if the supps helped, but hey, your DH's "bad boys" (LOL POP!) did their job just fine. So consider it a challenge conquered!

POP, it is high time someone here gets knocked up! I am stoked to see how the soy affects you next cycle. I am debating trying it this coming cycle myself, but I'll do a super low dose. I don't want to screw up my system at all!

Cinss, love your chart of 7s, you are a hoot! FX this is your month!!!! Someone's got to get knocked off the ttc list here!

POP had to laugh at your comment "evilbay"

I swear today was the first time I EVER TRIED to bid on an item, and i kept getting out bidded! So I gave up! The obstuse asshole who kept raising up the price can have the damn thing....I'm so over it already!

Then I tried to bid on some maternity clothes because I am desperate for acceptable work shirts (I need a L or XL) and another cow is outbidding on a lot of great looking maternity clothes....GRRRRRRRR

So far my experience on ebay have truly been evil!

Any tips for bidding on an item and getting it for a good price without it going crazy high?

And anyone else know where to get XL or L maternity work clothes for super cheap? I don't mind gently used because I only got another 4 months left to go but my belly is too big now for my old work clothes.

If I ever bid on stuff on ebay, I don't touch it, and then put a bid in when there is like 5 seconds left. I have gotten a few things that way without jacking the price up with a bidding war. Aurora, are you in the US or UK (I can't remember....). I got a few cute work tops at Motherhood Maternity, which is pretty cheap stuff, in the local mall, but I think they have online stuff now.

Snipe Website
I use the above website to set a "snipe". You enter the item number and the max you are willing to pay and the site bids for you in the last 5 seconds of the auction. People don't have long enough to outbid you!! Works fantastic!! Been using it for years!


I had a temp rise this morning...not huge but a definite rise!! I don't think I O'ed yesterday though....I think I O'ed during the evening before as I had my typical stabbing pain I get when I O and yesterday by 9am my cervix was back super low and creamy CM, where as the day before I was high, mushy and I had heaps of EWCM....so maybe I did O. Got a 2 day cut off though lol

I always snipe!
It's the best way to go for what you REALLY want!

I wish I had known you needed that kind of stuff--I just turned down an entire box of maternity clothes because they were too "fancy" (I only wear jeans and T shirts). The lady who offered them was headed to Goodwill afterwards, so I know she got rid of them already.... bummer! Have you tried Goodwill? or a consignment shop?

As far as eBay goes, I use that bidnapper site, as well as waiting until the day the auction ends to start bidding. No sense in bidding early on, as it just drives up the price.

Yay for O, POp!! Finally!!

Congrats PoP, see you aren't out this month!

TWW yAy!!!!!!

I usually do that bid at the last 45 seconds thing if it is an auction, but i rather look at the "buy it now" items.
