Lola will you be getting the NT scan? It seems like they are so much more common now. When I had DD1 in '05 it wasn't even mentioned but with DD2 in '09 it was treated like it was standard.

Yea, if my doctor wants to do it. I have no idea what they will insist I do as far as testing since I'm 35. If I have a CVS, then I guess I won't need an NT scan, but I bet they will do a scan at some point around that time frame just to look at the baby. I don't know how I feel about a CVS yet. Part of me will want to do it, and part of me is scared of the m/c risks. Anyway, I am so chicken about finding out the gender...I feel like a multiple personality sometimes....I just don't want to be upset. But, the way our club is rolling lately, hopefully I will be blessed with blue also!

Great posts. Keep them rolling in.

As an aside- who is keeping up with pH? Mine won't budge beyond upper 5 and maybe 6. I have been doing this diet for 8 weeks!

3PinkNeedBlue, totally agree on your BD timing along with Lola. Oh! We stayed 2 days for thanksgiving with family and it was difficult. My cousin thought I was insane with all the food things. I had carried stevia, pinapple juice, V8, nutritional yeast flakes and the sea salt with me. I gave wierd excuses for them stating some health changes I am planning at. I said I always kept the salt in my bag and asked her to try it like a suggestion. I am hoping she forgot my little craziness by now...lol. I do have some blood clotting disorder and slight Rhreumatism which hardly effects anything, but I used them as a weapon for my dietary choices when I was there.

LOL I am the same! I have my Mum and 3 siblings living with us at the moment and they keep asking DH and I about all these vitamins and gelatin - lol. DH says "Oh DW is on some health kick I just take what she says" lol

Begonia, Congrats on selling the house adn good luck with the new one. I understand on waiting until the time is right.
Lola, Begonia..I did go to a NT scan on Friday with a little worry cos I was spotting. THat has never happend before. So we were so worried about everything.
After the peri said everything looks good and the spotting is common she asked if we wanted to know the gender. I acted cool and just blurted out "sure" but wanted to take it back...lol. But before I could say anything she threw us her guess after measuring the spine and with a potty shot!
I have the profile and the doctored potty shot posted on the U/S board.

OMG exciting! Must go find this pic

Glad you got those crosshairs back TTC5!

Aqua you're so saucy posting them over there and making us go look :-) But I'm glad I did! I am happy all is OK with the spotting; I know that must made you quite anxious but what a relief to hear all is Ok with the little one. Keep us posted!

Thankyou! Looking at this cycle compared to last two I *think* my post O temps are lower? What do you ladies think? This is a good sign right??

[TTC5]

Oh and Aqua I totally remember the Thanksgiving thing with you traveling :-) That was some funny stuff! Oh the things we do ... I've used the "health kick" excuse a ton when my mom comes to visit and I'm dumping what looks like fish food (NYF) into giant glasses of V8, when for most of my life I refused to ever drink juice.

Fish flakes hahahaha Come to think of it, this is just how they look

[begonia]

TTC5 I am not the biggest fan of the NYF! I was scoping out the cans of Brewers Yeast at the health food store Sunday and once I finish this jar of NYF I think I'm going to try that stuff out. There were some that were higher in protein and potassium than my NYF. And umm, no wonder you were saying you have some stress in the living sitch! That is a lot of extra peeps around!

Spicy my pH really doesn't budge much either. I'm not troubled about it. I will say my urine pH is definitely in a healthier range than it ever was before. But my CM pH is in the 6's normally.

My almost 2 year old has covered her arms with red ink stars from a stamper she found. It looks like she has poison ivy. I should probably go do something about that...

[begonia]

Lola I hope you don't have to make the CVS decision! That would be a hard one. I actually wasn't even sure I wanted to do the NT scan with DD2. Any of the tests that could show something negative always make me nervous, and the CVS with the risks (albeit low ones) would definitely give me some anxiety. Here's hoping your OB just suggests rolling with the NT scan, and that all comes back beautifully healthy. And with a big ol' boy nub :-) I am so fired up for Aqua! The CBBC seems to be having a good run of blue lately!

[mmsgirlie22]

Ok...what does CBBC stand for???

[TTC5]

Oh bummer went to multi quote but it didn't work - damn!
Was just going to say I might try this brewers yeast too, how much do you have and how do you have it? I don't drink the NYF's... I mash them in my mash potato or in with my soup =)
