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

[babydes56]

That's right.... I am going to review my supps this time change of plans lol

Why are you changing your supplements, did you have lots of ewcm? I remember you having great ph so why change it? You have to remember that one only has a 10-20% chance of falling preg each time you try so dont panic too much because it hasnt happened on your first attempt, it took me 1yr to get here. I'm not saying it will take you ages but just remember that if it fails this time it will happen soon & if you had great ph keep doing what you've been doing

Soooo I did some googling and it seems that a dip at 13 dpo does not mean it is over yet, lol

You better believ it is not over!! Until AF appears your still in the game
BTW TTC5 I just Luv it- you are totally obsessed just like I get I can't think about anything else either ! I am still hopeful- your temp didn't dip below or even on the coverline soooo FX

[Cheekymoo]

DebH- when are you testing? Imaginary or not your symptoms sound good....

Bec- good news on the ovulating- it could be the supplements...I guess if it continues you will know !

Iluv - congrats on becoming an auntie again- are you guys identical or fraternal?

Babydes- What a bad friend wishing that - we all get jealous sometimes but really we should want our friends to be happy shouldn't we? I hope it is a boy just to annoy her LOL

As for me feeling crampy Af will arrive tomorrow- and I am happy about it prob for the last time EVER LOL
As it marks the begining of my first swaying month of TTC YAY!

[babydes56]

Cheekymoo, you must be excited about your first sway. How long have you been on diet? I know my friend gets annoyed because i'm a go getter so one thing she's wishing for is that i have another girl so she can tell me all about how having a son is great. To be honest i'm happy with whatever i get & if it's a girl then i'm sure my daughters will one day give me a grandson. The only person i'd be upset for is DH because i'd love him to experience raising a boy as well

[begonia]

Hello ladies! OK first a disclaimer ... if I suddenly disappear it is because my computer is acting VERY odd lately. It's only a year old but my last iBook also died an untimely death. Hmmm.

Anyhow, TTC5 I don't know why I keep hanging on to hope, maybe because your symptoms were so promising, but I swear until AF shows I'm believing you are pg. I really hope you are. In the meantime I'm with Baby, what're you going to change and why? Your pH was rocking!

Cheekymoo FX for you this cycle! My 1st attempt was just a couple of days ago... it is very exciting after all this planning to finally dive in. Hope everything goes according to your plan!

iluv you did give me great advice :-) and girl you have got to get some boundaries going it sounds like! You can have boundaries without being a bitch. You know? You can be kind without being too open... if people ask about the COD I would just tell them that you appreciate their concern and care for your family, but that you and DH have chosen to keep that private at this time. I have to have some pretty high boundaries with my mother but never want to hurt her feelings so am constantly searching for tactful ways to keep her out of my business, LOL!

OK too fun that Tink and iluv are practically neighbors! Y'all need to get some picnic action going! Tink we join in the sidewalk chalk fan club! Super fun stuff. Although last time DD2 drew something that looked EXACTLY like, umm, a certain part of a man. It was a "dog toy" for the dog she drew. DH came home and was like, WTH is that in the driveway?!? It didn't help that she made it like 4 feet tall. Oh how I love having kids :-)

Kris sorry your partner is out, FX for you! DebH is sounds like you're getting close to testing as well! And my dad will be here late next week; I totally get the not being able to get on the computer because when they are here I likely won't be on much at all. Which will be tough b/c it'll be right when I'm POASing but I promise to at least post results for y'all from my phone!

Good luck Sunnyebush!

Babydes I'm kind of in the same place ... I really think I will be OK to have another girl (I think...) but I really, really want DH to have a son.

OH! You know what DD1 told me about DD2 peeing on the couch yesterday? "You can never trust a person in diapers, Mom." Excellent. I plan to apply that to my daily life. Because she's right. People who pee themselves can't be trusted. Anyhow DD2 is in a weird in between potty training stage where she doesn't want to wear diapers but also doesn't want to sit on the toilet, so we've had a lotta pee in a lotta places. Thank goodness this is a rental and my couch is slipcovered!

[Cheekymoo]

Yes Babydes- I feel the same I love my girls and it really isn't that i don't want another one - i just would like to experience a son and this is def the last baby for me

I have been on the diet etc for 6 weeks it will be 8 weeks when I ovulate and try though....so excited it feels like I have put in sooo much effort just to get to this point esp as I hate salty food and lived on chocolate and lollies ! LOL

Begonia- Thanks- so do i!

Hey girls,

I NEED your advice. So, DH has had some weird stuff lately. He had some inflammation with his balls 2 weeks ago and then a week ago he had a fever. Every once in a while I look at his sperm through a saliva microscope and I always see a lot of swimmers moving fast!

Yesterday, nothing, but a few ones swimming in circles chasing their tails. I have been reading online and there was a published journal showing that a fever can reduce sperm count about 35-65 percent. Dh was really sick for about one day. He definitely had a fever and we treated it with meds (of course, this is NOT boy friendly).

Anyway, I am feeling like his count is going to be low for a month or so because of all of this stuff. I am considering skipping a cycle so that he can recover. DH sees the logic in it, and according to the study, you need about 35-56 days to recover- which is about the time I will O next month.

I really want a this time! I wouldn't mind a girl if we did all we could, but I feel like trying this month would certainly end in BFN anyway and with such a low count, heavily sways girl. We are going to check tomorrow after a release to see if there are any swimmers, but I just don't want to see another month of BFN or conceive a girl if we could have skipped a month.

What do you think!?

[babydes56]

Spicy, i'd say maybe wait if you feel his count is low because if you go for it you may end up with regrets. You want to give it your all & then if you have a boy great & if it's a girl you can live knowing you did your best.

I say that i'm not too bothered about what i get but that isnt entirely true because if it was i wouldnt have swayed. I'm happy i've managed to get preg after a year so maybe that's why i'll be happy to have a healthy baby. A boy would be great because i'd love to have a mixed family, i also have to realistic that it's 50/50 chance

[Tink18]

When are you making your attempt? Sorry if you've answered this already. Your suuplements look good, i wouldnt take l-arginine because it dries up cm

Depending when my cycles fall, Either September or October. If I O in late Sept, we will go for it, or If I O in early Oct, we will go for it. But definitely in Oct!! I am hoping I O in late Sept and not early! FX!!

[begonia]

Spicy I say to give it your best shot I'd wait ... sperm count does have scientific studies showing higher does favor boys, so it is certainly one of the sway factors that is IMO more reliable. Keep us posted with what tonight shows! That is hilarious to me that you're oogling his swimmers under a microscope! That's serious business :-) And now I'm totally curious what my DH's would look like, LOL!

Babydes you're spot on... if we *truly* didn't care we wouldn't go through this. I do care. But I also think I won't have serious GD, which is why I say I'll be OK with another girl. I'll just have my FX for a boatload of grandsons.
