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

[iluvmyman]

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!

NOOOOOOOO! I'm so sorry Princess! I feel like I'm dragging you down w/ me. I know how you feel about the sway thing. Don't be surprised if you still go back to the sway though. I think I've just re-evaluated my sway and changed my priorities and mellowed the heck out for sure. I think there are a couple of us that feel the same way. I'm so bummed!

[iluvmyman]

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 ;-)

We totally plan to try, the only problem is this month I'll be out of town when I should O. I hope not, since my system is all wacky, maybe it will work in my favor next cycle. I need to look at my other cycle when this happened and see when I O the last time these close AF's occurred.

You are trying this month too, right? That's not right, you are waiting till July to get your diet on? I just think that's awesome that DH is ready to go for it.

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!

I just read about that book in my research too. I'm glad you liked it, I emailed the name of it to myself.

I'm glad you saw your Dr. and that you have some hope. I just spoke w/ a lady from my church who was married at 27, tried for 2 years w/ no luck getting prego and then lost 2 1st trimester babies. I think she then lost 2 18ish week pregnancies, that were in between her successful births. She had now 4 healthy children but was 40 when she had her last. Her Dr. told her that 4 m/c were abnormal and to stop trying but she went on to have healthy baby #4. I thought it was a tragic but encouraging story and some hope too. GL girl!

Congrats on DH. My husband is such a crabby jerk when he quits I'm nervous for him to try again. You sound so great and full of hope, Lola. I'm so glad to hear it and the new found energy to get healthy. Yoga is great and I miss doing it too. So happy for you girl.

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?

That's so cool Lola. Sounds Like a great gig. I couldn't do my make-up nice to save me life.

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!

Thank you! You're so right we are all here for the same reason love that

[iluvmyman]

LOL we were done at 3 too :P

We said that too! The lady I talked to today said she knew when she was done having children when she wasn't jealous when other women had babies. I have never hit that although when ds1 was under 2, I was singing that song too.

Hi ladies

FX for blue for all

I'm CD16 & still no ovulation...i'm tracking with CBFM & OPK...& am still 'low' on CMFM & - OPK (am testing 2 - 3 times a day)...I had DH abstain 3 days ago cause I thought I would ovulate today or tmw....what should I do?...i have no idea when I"m going to ovulate...I have attached my charts....can somebody please help!! I'm pretty much taking all of the supps too!

I can't help w/ charts but I wanted to say hi. Hi.

[My Fabulous Children]

OMG, congrats Jen!! That's fantastic news, blue team needed this good news

MFC, I've been trying for nearly 1yr 4mnths now

Lola, i would wait on your blood work results before thinking you really have high FSH. I like your plan of healthy eating & yoga

TTC5, i think you've made the right decision to not dtd again i bet you'll be knocked up soon

ELP, where have you been girl?

Tink, if i were you i wouldnt get too caught up with trying to have every aspect of your sway perfect. I'm not saying you shouldnt ask your DH to stop smoking, by all means try & if you succeed good for you but i wouldnt force someone to do something they may not want to do. As long as you've given him all the info about how smoking affects his fertility then you've done your bit. Sorry if my opnion has offended anyone, it's just how i see things

I missed this post. God 1 yrs 4 months now, Hope you get your BFP this month hun, you so deserve it. It's been along time for me too.

[My Fabulous Children]

ITA! MFC you're a super valuable member here ... after all, you've done this once successfully! I think this is for anyone who wants a boy, whether they already have one or two or forty-seven. Though I would seriously question the sanity of someone going for their 48th child. That's a whole lotta car seats.

Thanks B, xx Your posts always make me laugh, LMAO @ the 48th child.

[My Fabulous Children]

MFC - you are very much wanted around here, you give us HOPE!

There is absolutely hope for you ALL, I'm telling you JUST follow the swaying tips and tricks, lol. Hopefully you will all get your boys. I know how you feel, I've been there. xx
