Hi ladies, hope you all well! Seems there's more women trying for girls than boys, we've done well then havent we? I feel under a lot of pressure to have a boy since 2 of my friends have had their DG confirmed in the last 2wks. I also feel i shouldnt have told anyone that i was trying for another child because i'm so sick of being asked if i'm preg yet, aaargh!

Oh I feel ya. Every one of my friends knows we want one more baby and they are CONSTANTLY waiting to see me quit drinking wine on the girls night out! I swear once I am there will be no way to hide it among these super sleuths I surround myself with ;-)

Iluvmyman....so about our debate! LOL....we are going to end up doing it CD 12 and 14...just the way it is going to work out with DHs work schedule etc. Fingers crossed for BFPs for us this month!

Jen, that is awesome...maybe your body is trying to tell you something! Good luck, when is attempt?

[TTC5]

GL with your attempt, i really hope this is your month!!

Thankyou!

[TTC5]

Hopeful, you want to wet the tip of your finger, then dip it in the baking soda, so there is like a little white "skull cap" on your finger, then put it in, but don't touch your cervix, it burns. You do want to go close to the cervix, though. So far in there, but not all the way.

TTC5, I know that must have been SOOOOO hard and I hope you are doing ok. I agree with you that it is probably best for everyone, and don't feel bad that you couldn't provide more help to your mum, she needs a lot of mental therapy to get over the abusive relationship, trust me, I've been there. And, with it being a safe house, you know she will be safe. And, this allows your immediate family to get their lives back to normal and you to be way less stressed, so GOOD all around!

Begonia, I am going to start the opks and tracking again probably next month. I do the same thing and skip our "skip" months because those suckers are indeed expensive!

And who was talking about performance anxiety? I think Spicy....well, you just gotta spice it up to make it less "I'm ovulating, let's go!" which it does get to be for us since we've been ttc so long! My magic trick is lacy panties, although they don't look as hot as they used to!

Thanks Lola xx

TTC5 - You're doing the best you can hun, keep you're head up.

Begonia - I bought 40 opk off ebay for about $8 and they've been working just fine. You may want to check this out instead of getting them from the store.

So funny thing going on here but it is a little tmi. DH is very susceptible to those "come get me" pheromones released around O, well for the first time since my bfp last Aug he's been crazy horny the last few days. I've had a ton of ewcm and my opk's are getting darker. I think I should have waited for him to tell me I'm fertile instead of spending all these months making myself nuts lol Since I've still been taking the sups we've decided to go for it. I haven't eaten any potatoes the last week but have still eaten tons of high potassium foods. I haven't eaten the jello or any grains either but I've been stuffing myself with meat/veg and fruit so I feel pretty confident I still have a pretty solid boy sway going on. At this point I so just want a baby, blue would be amazing but I just really want a new tiny one.

Wow that is so cool, must take not myself see if my hubby does the same, lol x

[TTC5]

Wow the pheromone thing is crazy cool! SO excited for all these attempts we have coming up! I would LOVE to see every single one of you get a BFP!

Daisy, I think I either never O'd or totally missed it with the OPK's this time ... which would be hard since I took them at least 1x a day since CD8. I'm super glad we weren't trying but at the same time so confused! My CP/CM are definitely telling me the O window closed; I am still going to do an OPK today and tomorrow but I will be beyond surprised if I get a +. On the one hand I am happy I had so much EWCM but on the other I don't know WTH happened with the actual egg!

Jen I think if you've still been doing the supps and eating a good amount of nutritious food then you've got a fab shot at blue! Given that I think I missed the OPK this cycle I might just take your advice and get the ebay ones. I just can't believe that I missed it taking 1 a day... they were darkest on Sunday so I am wondering if maybe I had too much liquid or not enough time between potty breaks? I've never not gotten a +.

TTC5 ITA with others that while I am sure it was just crazy hard to do, it sure sounds like it was the RIGHT thing to do, and that is what is most important. Here's hoping your mom gets all the help she needs. And FX June gives you a BFP! Your DH sounds like he's been a sweetie through all of this :-)

Oh we had a moment last week or so but think the stress was getting to him. In all honesty, if I were not married I'd have Mum with me forever =( But that it just not good for her, either hey? she needs to get independant again, without a man. The last two have both been abusers :'(

[TTC5]

Well I just took an OPK and it was flat out white, so I am SURE I either O'd on Sunday/Monday or just didn't O at all, because they were pretty dark Sunday. I have a pretty standard 14 day LP so we'll see when AF starts. I wonder though, if I didn't O, will that impact the LP?

I am not sure?

ITA - she does need to get independent again, without you or anyone else as a crutch ... hard as it might be to watch. Same with kids, really, right? As much as you want to rescue them when they get into an altercation on the playground you KNOW you have to let them learn to defend themselves, because one day you won't be there to do it for them. Not saying you can't be there to cheer her on when she succeeds or needs some encouragement, but really, she has to do this on her own IMHO. You're doing the right thing here lady!

[begonia]

Oooooo ... if my LP does stay the same and I'm right that I O'd on Monday, my next O should be right on my birthday in June! How can I possibly pass that up?!?! Must get lacy panties and seduce DH ;-)

And since it is a running theme on here I will throw out that I squeezed into a bathing suit today to take my girls swimming, even though it was still quite chilly ... I looked VERY squidgy :-( So I guess the diet is working ... I hate weighing myself (after years of obsessing I finally stopped, I am sure many of you can identify knowing our histories) but hopped on today and am probably up about 5 lbs. It is amazing what a mere 5lbs can do! Why can't it go to my chest?!?! LOL! That would make the seduction next month soooo much easier ;-)

[princessap]

okay girls just a quick question. my mil made a casserole tonight and put parmesean cheese in it which I know is not on boy diet. I only had about 1/2 cup and only found out after that it had parm cheese spice in it. how much did this mess up my sway???
