TTC5, I'm just throwing this out there.....and I may be way off base and this sound horrible.....but sometimes when things get overwhelming for me, I just have to cut some stuff out and do what is best for me and DH and the kids, even if it means putting other outside family members last. You sound way too stressed, and I know you can't kick your mom out because she is going through such a hard time, so maybe you and DH could brainstorm about ways that you can simplify and get them all taken care of and OUT of your house so you can breathe again. Heck, if for nothing else, just say you feel it's affecting your girls to have such commotion in your home, kwim? I think I can speak for us all and say we are worried about ya!!! And again, I know that may be undoable, but just consider some options because you shouldn't be crying and not eating all day, girl. XOXO

I can totally relate...I gained 5 kg and I'm closer and closer to my weight when I was 9 months pg w/my girls

Anyway, I want to share smthg w/you guys....
This morning I ran into a sort-of-acquaintance lady ( our daughters are going in the same kindergarten) and she is very obviously pregnant lol! She has 2 girls already so I immediately asked is this baby a boy or a girl
Guess what....It's a boy....they allegedly wanted 3rd girl ( right...Are you buying that story?) I was beyond jealous, she didn't even sway and I already spent a fortune on supps etc And she is younger than me ( well everybody is, I should get used to that fact )

I felt like this like she was deliberately trying to hurt me ( how disturbed am I ?)

It was so hard to say: Congratulations....

But I got new motivation, like- just wait I will get my too. Hmmm, this doesn't sound healthy lol!

LOL! I think that's normal to feel that way. When my DH was estranged for a while my SIL would refer to her DH as "my husband" all the time w/ me in conversation and it felt like it was on purpose. It wasn't but just say your DH's name, why call him "my husband in a normal conversation.

I don't want to tell you how I feel about my friends bump on a log/no personality/no will to live son who is turning 1 soon. It's not nice.

Two attempt. Ovulation -02 so that's two days before ovulation with a 4 day abstinence. And BD on O day with a two day abstinence.

If you are doing to BSD or BSF and EW, do you use those both times then. I'm assuming yes. Is overall the best kinda timing. Not the BD 12 hrs after 1st OPK or I've also read night on 2nd + opk

[iluvmyman]

Sorry about BFN, blue team not having much luck lately what's going on? I hope we all have better luck soon

Thank you everyone!

[iluvmyman]

Iluvmyman - sorry about af, I really hope someone puts a muzzle on her soon.

I'm thinking I need to go back to checking in a couple times a day, you ladies have been to chatty to fully catch up on lol
Feeling good here, need to watch my eating more as I've gone back to my old ways a bit. I really don't want my hiatus to destroy my chances so it'll be regimented meals and snacks for me. I've spent way to much time and put on too much weight to let my body to suddenly think it's famine time again. Sunny day today, the park is calling.

Amen to both of these comments.

Iluvmyman....thanks for the response, this sucks and I really hope we all get BFPs soon. I haven't been swaying for a year. I did have an early m/c and then stopped for a few months and then swayed a little for a month when we conceived our son who we lost at 14 weeks, so I stopped swaying the whole time I was pregnant and didn't think I would sway again so I TTC without swaying for a few months. I am swaying now but really only doing diet and some supps {folic acid is really the only one}...my OB advised against other supps and I trust her so we are sticking to natural. I am hoping it all works out!

14 weeks, so sorry! Augh! You hit that 12 week mark and everything is supposed to be Ok, right!? So sorry!

It really seems like diet is the most important so put 110% into that. Supps seem to be 2nd. I don't think something like Fish Oil could be bad for you, but totally do whatever feels right. It's scary after a loss to do anything. If I get a BFP, I'm going to the naturopath and checking everything with him. Timing and all of that is debated, I'm just trying all of it. Bummed I slacked on the diet but it is what it is. Sure am hoping for a BFP this month. AF just stopped 2 days early but expect a normal cycle for O.

BFP's in May!!!!

[iluvmyman]

have DH "release" on CD8 then DTD CD12, 4 days abstinence then DTD 0-2 on CD 14.

Ooooh, thank you, I have it calendered and will try this. I didn't like Only trying once. I know timing is least important but I like this.

[iluvmyman]

Oh TTC5 ((hugs)) there is nothing worse than feeling fat and yucky IMO....... you poor thing! When is your next attempt?? I will be sending some vibes your way!

My fabulous children thanks for the welcome! I will def be asking some stuff although i feel like I should be wearing 'L' plates or something! Perhaps I should have a sign that says forgive me my stupid questions I'm a newbie LOL

I have decieded to start the ASG 1 drink a day and see how that affects my ph.....anyone have any other things that worked particularily well for them...I have a feeling PH is going to be my nemisis in this swaying thing- and here I was thinking giving up the truck loads of sugar I was eating per day would do the trick- def a niave newby here!

URAL is great. There is a sticky about it, if you are interested I can link to it for you. Check PH near or on O, as that's what counts. giving up the loads of sugar will surely help. LOL. diet is the way to go and your supps.

[iluvmyman]

Yes I really want to be pregnant and so I am giving up on timing and DTD once. I dtd once on O day when we conceived DD1 so am hoping diet changes help. plus I am 35 and my clock is ticking. Are you still doing it once?

we are so the same, princess. I'm 35, tried DTD once and got BFN. I'm going to try what MFC suggested. Timing isn't supposed to mean much so I like upping my chances by trying twice. When are you trying this time? I s/b trying around the 22nd and 24th this month.

[iluvmyman]

So sorry, I know it is depressing. You are not necessarily out at 10dpo, that is still early for many people. I think the increased acne is a sign of both increased testosterone and good progesterone production in the 2ww, so good signs for you all around. Keep testing! And don't get frustrated if it takes you a while to get pg....take it from me, a long timer.....it can take women who are not swaying and just ttc the truly natural way months to get pg anyway.

I break out w/ hormones in general. PMS, then the week after AF. When I'm prego too. It's just hormones for me no matter what the cause. 35 and still breaking out, I hate it!
