♥ June 2011 ~ Swaying for Blue? This is the thread for you!! ♥

[begonia]

TTC5 that is CRAZY! I hope it is a good sign! Did you ever feel anything like that with any of your other pregnancies? Oooo and so fun that Cheeky felt that when she was pg! FX for this being a good sign :-)

Iluv I'm glad your doc wants to at least re-run the test. At least that means he thought about it enough to decide he wanted more info! So since you just had AF are y'all going to be trying again soon? Or are you waiting to figure out what is going on?

Flava I LOL about the mostly fighting ... my girls are at it this am, which is funny b/c they normally get along super well. I think it is time to get them out of the house. We're going for donuts b/c in case everyone didn't know ... it's National Donut Day! Whooo hooo! Do you think they make a donut made out of potato with a nice tomato sauce instead of frosting? Mmmm. The boy sway special ;-)

Will update for you!!

Thanks!

No way, don't feel like that. We are all here for the same reason and that is TTC a boy. It doesn't matter whether you have none, 1 or 20. My opinion anyway!

MFC, we are glad to have anyone here, but love you gals that have had successful sways for sure! And even non-sway boys, too. Bring em on!

So a BFN for me this month again
I think i am done with all this swaying and trying to conceive. It has never taken me this long with any of my other pregnancies and it has really become all consuming. It is all I think about. what food can I eat, when am I ovulating, when did he release last, etc. I think for me I am done swaying and will let whatever happen happen.

Hope everyone else is doing okay.

Iluv. hope u get all your answers soon!

Oh, hun, I am so sorry. I TOTALLY know how you feel. Trying consumes me also, and the longer it goes on, the more crazy it makes you, not to mention affects your marriage and all. Just believe like I do that you will have a healthy baby someday soon, and he/she will come just when you least expect it, of course. XOXO

Iluv, that is good news then....I bet he thinks your FSH is normal for having had a baby recently. I have been doing lots of reading about it the past couple of days (inlcuding this AWESOME book "Inconceivable" by Julia Indichova that all us long-timers should read....anyone, really, it was fantastic)...and it appears that all sorts of things can influence your FSH levels, as the woman in this book's go up and down each month. So, I am not really stressing about it either, and if you doctor did not make it a point to say anything about it, then you are probably just fine. And adding some iron is really easy to do, especially with food. My sister is aememic and eats a ton of spinach and apricots and the like to keep hers level.

I talked with my doctor yesterday also, my kick ass gyno (who doesn't do OB, so she didn't know I had the m/c as I had to go to the midwives at another practice once I got pg).....she is going to have me do a blood FSH for real test this next cycle, but she seems to think that we have just had crap luck and my eggs aren't necessarily bad. I told her we were loading up on antioxidants and I started up with yoga again and all, and she said that is perfect...the healthier your body, the healthier your eggs. But, we are still a go for ttc in August and she MAY start me on Clomid that month, just depends on the FSH numbers and her eval when I go see her in a few weeks.

So, I am now a proponent of being super healthy.....DH quit smoking last week and is doing great with it, and we are both on a big health kick for the next few months, just to see how it affects us (which will no doubt be positively, but if it yeilds a healthy pregnancy). I'm having an "amazing grass" smoothie everyday (wheat, barley, and alfalfa grasses) and loads of antioxidants, and have started with the DHEA again. I'll have a good 80 days in before ttc, and just gonna see what happens.

Good luck, chicas.....I'm so very happy for 3PNB and Chunksta, and hoping to add some preggies to the list to congrats soon!

Begonia - when you see your dermatologist make sure you tell him you're ttc, many rx acne meds can cause birth defects.

MFC - I'm with everyone else, it doesn't matter that you have a boy just matters that you want another one

Bec - I don't care how much info you have or how prepared you feel, you'll still freak out a little before your first attempt lol I would start the sups one at a time to figure out what works best. I ran out of a few sups at various points and found out that I didn't need them at all. I get great cm from just diet and fish oil which isn't increased with the guaifenesin, and the robitussin gave me massive head congestion after stopping. A little trial and error is a good thing.

Chunksta - woohoo for 9 wks and doing great! You should visit us more often

Iluv - here's hoping for good news on your thyroid test,and ita 24 weeks is too long at this point I'm sure any answer is better then no answer.

ttc5 - too weird, I hate how ttc makes you notice everything you would normally just blow off. FX for a bfp!

Princess - keep your chin up darlin', big big hug.

Lola - Big big kudos to dh for quitting, that is some serious devotion. I love your mega healthy plan and must admit the loads of healthy foods has made me feel awesome. Here's hoping my little bean finds the environment nutritious enough.

Well ladies, I still don't feel preg yet. It's only cd29 so I think I'll need to be much much later before I stop visiting my test every few hours. Here's hoping it doesn't take till the first heartbeat for it to finally set in lol I'm crazy hungry and thirsty and have learned my previously adored morning cup of coffee is no longer my friend. Apparently I'm a bit of a space heater too lol Last night dh said he was to lazy to close the window so he cuddled up next to me for warmth while I slept just fine. Other then that it's pretty smooth sailing but the fun doesn't usually start this early so I guess we'll see

Hi ladies. How is everyone I'm playing catch up! My DD and I had a big day yesterday, plus I was in my salon for a bit doing some makeup on some brides to be! I didn't get to play online at all yesterday, had to come home cook dinner and go work out!

Now I have to go back about 7 pages!

I feel so crampy today and I don't know why, AF WAS 8 DAYS AGO, I would be shocked if I ovulated this early. I do have a history of ovulating early...but that would be a little ridiculous. Plus we tested last night, as I am every 25 days and it was neg.

[begonia]

How fun to do bridal makeup Tink! Unless the bride is crazy I bet it's fun to see them all excited and happy! I've ovulated as early as day 10 before but never earlier. I would love to O early this month but have a feeling I'll be on track.

Jen I remember with DD1 I had crazy bad m/s, and with DD2 I didn't have ANY and was worried the entire 1st trimester that something was wrong because I didn't "feel" pregnant. I took at least a pg test a week to re-confirm until I saw my doc for the 1st appt, LOL! Thanks for the heads up on acne meds! He's kind of a funky holistic type of guy and has never given me a prescription for my pimples, but just done things like tell me to include fish oil, and quit eating so much %$#@ sugar! I go to him more for my crazy moles than my zits.

Lola I'm glad you got to talk with your awesome gyn! I love your health kick plan. There can't be anything better for TTC than just plain ol' being healthy. Have you tried the amazing grass for kids? My girls like the chocolate in smoothies. I have to say we're all eating better with this sway influence since I pretty much cut out the processed stuff for all of us.

Good to see you Chunksta!!! Thanks for popping in! Glad you're doing well :-)

[LolaInLove]

Tink, have you been taking opks? I have Oed earlier on these supps. You never know what your body will do. And bridal makeup IS fun with good people....with crazy bridezillas and bitchy BMs it is a nightmare. I used to be an account exec for Stila when I graduated from college before I landed my arts admin career. It was a blast, and I got trained by their NYC artists so I still do makeup on location for magazines and brides, for the right price, of course! What line do you work for?

Jen, it will kick in....I completely know how you feel, though. If I ever get pg again, I will be a NERVOUS wreck and convince myself that I am not actually pg until I see a heartbeat, and well, maybe till I see a live baby in front of me. Man, I just hate that so many of us here have had to deal with m/cs and deaths of babies, it is just heartwrenching. BUT I am a positive day so I am putting my faith in hopes that we all have a sweet healthy baby someday. There is nothing right now that says that this isn't and can't be your dc#4, so keep your spirits up. (You'll have to tell me that too one day.) And don't you hate the coffee aversion? I had that this last time, it made me SO bummed, because that's like my morning ritual thing. Oh well, on to healthy preggo smoothies for you, girl!

[3Pink1Blue]

Begonia- that's awesome that he's holistic. I'm a hippy at heart, meds are always my last stop. I've had 2 pre-cancerous moles removed so I'm all about keeping track of them. I kinda like m/s it lets you know everything is ok lol dd#3 I had none and if it hadn't been for the very early and quickly growing belly I would have been panicked.

Lola - I'm hoping reality will set it in the next week or so. I show really early, I usually can't button my pants past about 8wks so I'm hoping it'll kick in by then instead of me just feeling extra chunky. I really miss the bliss of my first pregnancy, I'd never m/c so I only had a normal amount of fear. I'm positive we'll both get our little ones


Well, I don't know if it's my tiny friend or that I've gotten used to eating all the time but I'm starving 24/7. I cannot seem to keep myself satisfied for more then an hour. I remember being a little extra hungry in my first tri with dd#3 but this is ridiculous.
