TTC a BOY, June Chit Chat Thread

Bec Congrats Hun, here's to a HH pregnancy

Babyblessings, i understand the dilemma, you figure you could be preggers so there is really no need to continue on the supps. Just to be on the safe side though i would say continue a prenatal, Vit D is fine unless you are getting lots of sun, and folic acid is always good to take. Ural can be dropped for sure, it really shouldnt be taken for more than 5 days in a row before O. Sounds like you have the right idea though continue the HE diet, and if you are not working out it wouldnt really make a difference at this stage if you are pregnant. Buuuuut (im sorry to say it) if you are not pregnant (i hope you are) but if you arent, it would be a good idea to do a little workout every couple of days, so that next month you have that under your belt too.

As for me my OPK was almost + last night so i think it will be + today and i seem to O on the day of my + so we did 1 attempt last night with a teeny tiny bit of preseed. We will try again tonight, i am thinking about TBM tonight just because DPs load will be smaller. His load last night was huge (sorry TMI warning) I was spilling so much of it out, it was like a flood, i had my knees up and even tried crossing my legs but there was such a huge wet patch on the sheets

Good luck Cinss. I put a couple pillows under my butt after and held my legs up in the air that seemed to help and it gave DH a good laugh

(Aurora and dloui too) I am afraid that if I start now, my body will think its in 'losing weight' mode?

babyblessings sorry by workout i mean lifting weights not cardio. The reason lifting weights is good for a boy sway is because it raises our testosterone levels. Examples of excersises would be -

Calf raises, Sit ups, Push ups, Squats, Bicep curls with weights, Triceps with weights. Just for about 15mins 3 times a week.

But its not extreemly important and don't feel like you have to if you dont want to.

Ahhhhh, ok! I get it :-)
Thanks so much Cinss -- I really don't think I am UTD -- having quite a few cramp-type feelings yesterday and today - exactly how I usually feel a week before AF is due :-(
So I will definitely add your exact suggestion into my sway for next month - sounds not only do-able, but exactly what I need to be doing on the HE diet lol! can't handle this flabbiness on my belly!

Thankyou all for your wishes I think my due date is Feb 27th.

Babyblessings, just back onto ural again... I know it's safe to take during pregnancy for a short time but I wouldn't take it during the 2ww unless it was necessary. The salt content is too high to be taken for a prolonged amount of time. Like Cinss said, weight exercises will only help your sway.

Cinss, the TBM might be worth a shot if you leaked so much last night. My DH wanted to give it a go too but we were too 'in the moment' to stop and do it.

PoP, Lola, how are you ladies?

I am having a blood test tomorrow, feeling a bit nervous!

Just what Cinss said. If you are doing the HE diet and eating the protein and everything else you should be then lifting weights a few times a week is not going to make you lose weight, you will build muscle and that raises T levels. I worked out 2-3 times a week for 30 mins and did all weights no cardio, but I'm sure you could do some cardio if you wanted to.

So i did end up doing the TBM last night haha. It was a funny different experience. I had DP release into a cup then i sucked it up with a syringe, had a little preseed inserted already, put my finger in to find my cervix opening and realised it is actually angled a little to the left, i never really knew that before, so it was a little difficult to get the syringe in the right place, maybe i should have that checked out? Anyway after it was over i didnt spill a drop, but as i was laying there with my legs up i realised i didn't have the big O, ahh well nothing i can do about that now. I had a temp rise today so i definatly think i Od yesterday. FX

FX'd this is your month Cinss!!!!
