Begonia, where r u?

For real! I have MISSED my crew! I had zero time to pop on this weekend and DD2 turned 2 yesterday so I was a super good Mama and spent all my time fawning over her. I love this age. I confess I am not a "baby person" so much as I am a 1+ year old fan. I just adore hanging out with them when they are little people with thoughts they try to get out. Super cute.

Iluv ITA that if my sway isn't making me miserable I feel like it isn't working, LOL! Must.change.everything. Anyhow, I did get AF on Saturday so HOORAY! Never been so happy to see it! I am so bummed this appears to have not been the lucky month for you though. I guess the bright side is you can take some of those lessons learned from round 1 and maybe have a better go this month. FX! Anyhow did y'all like the 10 great dates series? I know a bit about it but we haven't done it.

Babydes I didn't realize it had been a year for you! I wouldn't fret a bit about Clomid; I am sure I'm not the only one who has friends who have boys conceived while on Clomid.

TTC5, love, you are in a tough spot right now! Wow. I hope as MFC said they at least help out a bit. Hope things go well for your Mom and siblings and they can be back on their own soon.

Flava are you seriously dropping out or just having one of those days? Believe me, I think if I swayed as hard as you did and still got another DD I'd struggle with trying again too. But I'm also totally the type of person that believes everything is possible ... so maybe, just maybe, #5 could be it for you? My FIL is the 5th of 10; his mom had 4 girls before him, and then 3 more boys after him. Crazy. Anyhow I am with you on the drawing a line somewhere, and I know for sure 3 is my end point. Even if I knew it would be another girl at this point I'm convinced our family is supposed to have one more, so I'm going for it. Even if you don't sway again please stay around to hang out!

Lola happy to see you pop on! We can try together in August :-) And ITA with your positive end point ... when you are holding that healthy little baby you are going to cherish him or her after all this.

Spicy FX for you!

[My Fabulous Children]

Lola, Glad to see you back sweetie! I think it is good to wait until August. Would be good to give your self a break from swaying. As far as the money..I spent A LOT of money!! Swaying supplements, etc it's too expensive. I've been buying all the stuff since June 2010 I'm tired. I'm thinking about taking break too.

[LolaInLove]

Thanks for the luv eveyone. Well, I remember Phoenix on IG told me she took a break and it was the best thing for her, because when she started swaying again, she went full out and got her little man. I think it will do us good, us long timers!!!! Happy 2nd to your little chica, Begonia!

Sorry I have been MIA. I am 5DPO. Today I almost vomited, a wave of nausea came upon me, and I have had no time to think about the tww since we are so busy around here. I also have terrible MS during my pgs. Anyone else notice this?

I sure hope you get a BFP!

[iluvmyman]

KFX for you ladies in the 2ww now....Spicy, barfing may be a welcome although uncomfortable sign, right! And Luv, you are getting near testing time too, if I remember correctly. (I just read through about 20 pages!). FXFXFX!

As for me, like I said, working a ton, which has taken my mind off of stuff a bit. I've just been kind of blah lately, and still not a huge appetite. I am just so sick of being heavier than usual. I think we will still go with ttc again in August, so I am planning on taking May to just relax. We're starting to take the antioxidant supps like Babydes was talking about this week, but I'm not doing anything until we are 6 weeks out. I can't believe that August will be one year of swaying for us, too.....with lots of bumps in the road. It is hard to keep up with swaying when it's been this long. I pulled an opk out this morning because, technically, I am on CD15 (although days 1-8 were m/c) but I felt a twinge in my ovary (the left one where they say some follies coming about at my ultrasound last week). It was interesting to know that I ovulated from the right because there was still a corpus luteum there and they saw the left with follies, so I kinda know what track I'm on, ovary-wise. Anyway, I almost cried when I got that damn opk out, just thinking HOW MANY OF THESE have I taken in the last 9 months? Good grief, I've probably spent a good thousand or more dollars on opks and hpts and supps and preseed. But, (and here is my positive part!), it will all be good if I ever get pregnant and actually have a healthy baby. Honestly, at this point, I don't even care what we get, too.

So, hope you are all well, am keeping up with everyone even if not posting frequently. XOXO

It's a BFN for me, Lola. A Big Fat Negative! I'm gonna try this month but I was sooo good last sway and totally blew it in the 2ww. Oh well, I just don't think I'm willing to wait till next month for the diet again.

I wish I had some advice to make it better for you, Lola. I can totally understand just wanting to get BFP at this point. Sounds like you are burnt and hurting. You and your body have been through a lot and I do want you to know that I have been praying for you.

Not sure if Mother's Day was a emotional for you as it was for me. I was hoping a BFP would make things feel a little more fair, but that's just not the way it works, is it.

Thinking about you, babe

[My Fabulous Children]

Iluvmyman, I'm sorry about the BFN but it's not over until AF shows her ugly head And, hopefully, she won't!!!

How many DPO are you now?

Congrats on Birthday #2 for you DD! I can't go with you on the infant thing. Sometimes I joke that I'd love more babies just not more children. It's a joke, no one get made at me. I l-o-v-e babies, I want to eat them with a spoon for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Although, I believe they can improve a little on the whole sleeping through the night thing, then they'd be perfect.

Darn it, Begonia!! I really wanted a little giggle if you got a BFP, you are taking all of my fun away. So are gonna give it a go this month too or wait till August? I really messed up in the 2ww, but won't wait till June. I really wanted to have a new baby close to DS2's birth in December. This month would push us into February already. Too close to girl territory for me if I don't get a BFP this month then I'll have to re-evaluate when to ttc again. I doubt I'll give it up though and wait till the Spring again, I'm too old and need to, you know what or get off the pot.

10 Great Dates is OK. Our 3rd date is on Saturday and I haven't looked at the lesson yet. 1st date was amazing, 2nd I didn't love the questions. Hey, if it gets you on a scheduled date with DH, it's worth it and it gives you some things to talk about that aren't revolved around work and kids. I like it.

Seems like lots of people are on Clomid, even people who don't seem to have been ttc for very long. Maybe they are just telling their Dr's they've been trying for a year? I like the twin aspect but I think that might push DH into hospital time.

[iluvmyman]

13DPO, I took one last test this morning and it was negative. Totally not prego this time.

[iluvmyman]

I'm gonna lay a little low for a few days or so and try to get through Atomic's great Sticky's, re-educate myself and re-evaluate where I'm at on my sway techniques. I'll still respond and keep up on here, but try and not stay up till 1 am every night yammering away.

But I LOVE your yammering! It's so fun to read your posts! Good to know on the 10 great dates thing. We do have a regular date night but it does end up frequently being about the kids or the house right now. Or DH's work. Anyhow I will likely wait til September at the earliest, only b/c we agreed not TTC until we get moved into the new house. But if not September definitely October, because for some weird reason I *feel* like that will be our boy month, LOL! I would have in some ways loved another accident baby ... DD1 was such a surprise and she's the best surprise ever, so I would probably shake my fist at God while he laughed at me had I gotten a BFP. 'Cause now I totally get that my plans aren't always the best :-) How badly did you go off the diet in the 2WW?

MFC I didn't realize you had been trying so long, too. We have a handful of longtime ttc'ers on our thread. I can't wait to celebrate the hard earned BFP's for all of you!

Thanks for the bday wishes for the baby girl Lola! It was super fun :-) So do you have any more doc appts between now and August when you TTC? The amount of $$$ on the OPK's is ridic. I haven't used them for several months since we aren't actively TTC. I'll start again 3 months or so beforehand to get the hang of it again, because they are crazy pricey.

3PNB where are you lady?! Hope you're a-ok :-) Hope you're on a fabulous vacay. I think most of us could use one!

Oooo! Here's a chatty topic (I can't help myself! I'm a chatterbox!) What is your dream vacay! Have you been on it? Where would it be? Would you take your kids On that note, would you even take DH?
