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

[LolaInLove]

LOL, Begonia....sorry 'bout the couch! I had a dream the other night that I was poas and I actually peed a little, it woke me up. DH laughs, because he knows that 9 times out of 10 I peed myself if I just had a good sneeze. He'll bellow out the Billy Madison line "everybody's peeing their pants, it's the cool thing to do!" Anyway, yea, we go to Chicago a lot because my SIL who I am super close to lives downtown and also happens to be my favorite city in the US. My ballet company performs there sometimes also.

About early pg symptoms, I had NONE with my girls, and just creamy cm with these two recent pregnancies, but until about 16-18dpo or so, not much except some implantation cramps and minorly sore boobs, which I get every month anyway. Don't lose hope, my fellow POASers! (I say fellow because I picked up some FRERS today for this weekend....I just wanna be sure.)

Tink, if you are not in the 2ww or imminently bding, I say go out and have a rollicking good weekend, for real. It's not going to mess up your sway. If the weekend was during your attempt cycle, like AF-O time, I would maybe just have a few glasses of red wine but by all means, have a good time! But, you are going in August with me, right!?!

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH LOLA...you just made my life sooo much easier...because there is 15 of my closest girlfriends going of all that don't know DH and I are not doing any of this and my cousin who is basically my sister. I was going to be so stressed for 3 and a half days!! So bring on the tequila! ha! I mean i wont get too wild...hopefull I wont be on AF or O'ing Im going to looking into all that now according to my LMP and see if my stuff stayed in track if i would be good to go... That would be a good way go out for baby #2! Gosh the things we do for babies and getting drunk..isnt this how were suppose to make babies!! sheesh!

Morning ladies!

TTC5 you're not out yet, do you feel at all like AF is coming? I know I mentioned I get super hungry around O but I also find I get hungry around AF. Basically I'm always hungry, LOL. I am so glad that you got that procedure; it sounds like you were in crazy massive pain before! I can't imagine parenting 4 girls with that going on too.

Tink that cake was darling!

Bec I think you're smart to wait til you can focus on diet, etc more easily! I know I couldn't do it any other time this summer so I'm fine letting the next couple months pass me by. I am sure I'll be able to be Ok with a BFN bc timing really was going to be better for us this fall.

Kris how early will you start testing? Are you going to wait until the odds of a BFP go up or try for an early one?

Cemas how are you?!?! I know you were getting close to POAS time. I would love to see you get a BFP.

iLuv (ha, just realized I typed that like iPhone) how many DPO now for you? Any symptoms?

And where is our lovely Lola?

3 kids is definitely my max, unless of course we have 4 by nature of twins, which I wouldn't mind because I like even numbers :-) My FIL was one of TEN though! That's just crazy talk to me.

Ugh ... busy day today, must get going. Hi to everyone though and hope you all have a great morning! Laters!

Thanks for checking in B. I'm not sure how to count dpo, really. 1st + opk was 6/8 so O would most likely be on 6/9 but then is dpo so then you wouldn't count till 6/10 as 1dpo? If i count from 6/10 that will be 5dpo. I'm sure I could come up with some things that might be a different about my body but I would probably be making it up or making something out of nothing. I would say no symptoms and not expecting BFP but then totally expecting it since I did it all kinds of wrong.

We DTD on CD13 & CD14; 1st + opk was CD15 so O would then be CD16. I'm not really thinking I'm prego at all. Will wait till AF shows or doesn't. I suspect. I might test Sunday just to be sure before vacay, but I kinda doubt it.

How about you? I know we are in the same boat of kinda hoping it's not a bfp this time.

hi girls,
not a great morning here.....BFN for me at 11dpo on an FRER.....(...so i am out. this has happened many times now but it still hurts! i am so frustrated....i have tried everything HT , iui..etc but no luck....age is also not on my side. am 37...probably oldest here....what i only have left now is faith in god which keep me going and ttc.

thats for me...sorry for venting out my frustration......

ttc5 u have some symtoms so don't give up hope....praying for ur bfp

begonia, hope u get a surprise bfp on ur camping...are u going to poas there?

good to hear that Jen and baby are having good pregnancies so far...GL

So sorry, Cemas. total suck!

[iluvmyman]

Hey all, I've been working my butt of the last 3 days so I can go on vaca for 2 weeks, which starts today! So sorry I missed your imminent question, Begonia! I am glad you did it, I would have said to go for it also. FX!

Cemas, I know that sucks, I totally understand how you feel. Just keep trying. Did any tests show a problem from HT? Do you think it is just your age (which I think is my problem)? Maybe try the DHEA and some antioxidants like me if that is the case. You'll get there, just don't give up yet. Look how perseverance got Babydes her bfp! Big hugs to ya.....xoxo

Iluv, balls all around with all that crap you are dealing with. I actually think maybe the diagnosis for your thyroid is good. Now you can get it leveled and get pg no problem....not to mention you will feel a lot better all around. Sorry about little DS2, I know that is heartwrenching to even continue to think about. We're here for you with everything.

Babydes and 3PNB, glad you ladies are feeling well. And NO thinking about silly OWT, preggos! They are all rubbish, you know! Keep your minds focused on putting amazingly healthy foods in yourself for those growing little beans. You know it won't be long before we are nubsessing with you and then waiting on pins and needles for your big scan!

Tink, I am with the others, start them supps now. Definitely the fish oil. Look through some of the sways and you will find a huge variation of what people took. I used to do a bunch of stuff, but now mostly just healthy egg stuff, but I would recommend taking 3PNB's recs for sure. She is right on about tackling your "issues" whether it be ewcm or ph or uterine health and LP length. I would also begin the drinks, if you are going to do those, pretty soon also. I am on those once we return from our trip at the end of June. (I'll be in Detroit and Chicago for 2 weeks, yay! And will do my best to check in every couple of days!)

Kris, best of luck to you and your partner. I would love to see you both get pg together! Why not employ two uteruses towards the goal instead of one, hey? Love it! I have some good friends (guys) who are starting their quest for a "gayby" as they call it. I would carry for them if I could! I think they are going for adoption though. I know all that expense is crazy, but you two hopefully won't care once you have your bab(ies)!!!

Everyone else, luv ya tons.....gotta start packing/washing the dog/cleaning the house for the housesitter/putting duct tape over my kids mouths right now. XOXOXO

Oh, and as for me....I am 7dpo right now....I have no idea what is up, but thinking I'm in the safe.

I know it's not all about me but yes, yes, yes! I didn't give bad advice to B.....of coarse I think it was ultimately late advice but it wasn't wrong.

Im lovin all these vacay's ladies and totally deserved. Where you off to Lola?

Yay on the dpo! I'm feelin in the safe too. I have got to get back onto the diet, yo!

[iluvmyman]

DD2 just peed on the couch but I'm 99% sure you were hoping for OPK or preg test results!

Cemas no worries! I had a vacay back around end of May ... no more scheduled til 4th of july though. It's easy to get it all confused here!

Jen I loooooove coconut rum in pineapple juice! LOL! I always feel like I need to be wearing a bikini on the beach though. Which is not happening this summer what with my boy friendly figure and all ;-) If I do get pg there's no way I'm going anywhere near the pool by August; I can't imagine how bun #3 is going to stay secret til 13 weeks if I'm walking around in nothing but lycra! Yikes!

LO, B!

I've thought about like keeping a cheat sheet on everyone cuz I totally forget all the time and hate to keep re-asking people the same ?'s.

Good news for my twin sister. She tried for a year and finally got prego w/ DC2, then today found out that she is having a boy! She wasn't swaying and I'm excited for her. She has 1 girl already and this is their last and got a boy. Yay, Auntie again for me!
