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

[3Pink1Blue]

Iluv- Congrats on your sisters little blue bean Back when I temped I would set an alarm so I took it at the same time each morning. I set it early so on weekends I could go back to sleep. I too do just what ttc5 said lol Thanks for the hairdryer clarification, I forgot the details but remembered getting yelled at lol

TTC5 - So when you going to test again???

Bec - Woohoo for O'ing on your own!! You never know, the green tea and fish oil may be doing it so definitely don't stop!

Tink - My inlaws criticize us like mad and think the earth revolved around dh's brother. Dh has a great career that he loves but since he's white collar they literally treat him like he's a fry cook at McDonald's, bil works construction and anything blue collar is better. Their house has leaky windows, mold in the basement and a bathroom I wouldn't use in an emergency but it's better then our house. Funny thing is my mil is about to get fired and they will probably loose their house before the year is up. Well guess who they are coming to for money(we won't give them any). My bil can't find work and has to borrow money from his inlaws to pay his mortgage, their marriage is falling apart and their kids are rotten. Yet somehow through all that we are still not as good. You just can't please some people.
That's a great start on the sups, and lol at 12-13 months.

Kris - no af means no one's out yet! fingers are still crossed for both of you.

Spicy - I think if you're that worried skip it. Wait a month and have the peace you did all you could.

Begonia - I joke too that hopefully I get grandsons. My in-laws lost their only dd to SIDS and now have 5 granddaughters and 1(fx2) grandson where my neighbor had 3 sons and 1 daughter and has all grandsons.

Baby - it feels a little hypocritical to say we don't really care what's cooking with all we did. I stand by that I don't care because I swayed instead of just leaving it up to chance again.

I guess we've been lucky as we've never gotten crap about having more kids except from my bil. He has the only boy and I know he wants it to stay that way. My parents don't say much about it but my in-laws have actually told us we can't stop till we have a boy. You know the keep it up till you get it right attitude
Starting to feel a little preg af being 2 wks late and all though I still check the tp every time I wipe. I'm having a few more food issues but nothing major yet, fx it stays this way. I swear I'm more tired everyday. How is it you forget this part? You'd think you'd remember yawning 24/7.

I know what you mean, i've told a friend i'm preg & she says "it's a girl again". She has a pigeon pair & of all my friends i think because i've always got what i wanted she secretly hopes it's a girl again

Ohhh, not nice. I know some a person like that too.

[iluvmyman]

Lola, hope you having fun on your holiday!

iluv, when are you testing?

I leave out of town on Monday morning so I figured I'd test Sunday Morning. Hey, it'd be a nice father's day present since Mother's day didn't work out for me. I don't think I'm prego at all, so I'm not in any rush to test. If I am I'm afraid my attitude might be a little less then desired since I did like no sway at all, it was doggy style the 2nd attempt is the best we did for sway and that means nothing. I wish I had just went to sleep that night before so I would've at least had a few days abstinence since we ended up DTD like CD12 & CD13, 1st + opk was CD15. The only symptoms is my tummy has been a little jacked up like little nausea and gassy (i hate saying that out loud) but I was sick and our friends kid was sick last week and now DS1 is running fever, so I'm just going with that as the cause and not reading into it.

I'm so happy I finally figured out how to use my spell check on this mac laptop! yay!

[iluvmyman]

I don't know if it's just a coincidence or not but I started drinking green tea a few months ago and have been taking fish oil for a few weeks now. But, surely those things on their own wouldn't help me ovulate? I don't know really. Nope, not taking Met.

Prayer maybe?

[iluvmyman]

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!

Very faternal. There is a picture w/ her behind me in a private thread here. We look nothing a like. My mom was on fertility drugs and got BFP w/ us. Hey, it could've been clomid since that's been around a long time and it does sway girl multiples, right?

[iluvmyman]

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

Doesn't appear to be a real great friend.

[iluvmyman]

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!?

Spicy, if you did confirm sperm count is low (I think that's awesome btw) I would wait. I'm sorry to say that but wouldn't want to risk it I guess.

[iluvmyman]

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

I asked DH if we could try 1 more time if he have a DD instead and he said no. I begged for trying the last 2 times, so I'm not at all surprised but it was a bit of a reality check and I really want to get my diet on again. Bummed I'm camping since it will make it a lot harder.

[princessap]

hi ladies,
I took a break from the boards here and now cannot catch up!!
Hope everyone is well. i needed a break from here to get my mind off my bfn.
I am trying this month and not sure what I will do for timing.
Today is CD 10 and I have ewcm today which I didnt have last month at all. My plan was dtd tonight and then abstain for 4 days and hit O day. But now I am thinking I may be oing soon.
What would u girls do??
I am not temping as I do shift work and it was too hard to
do consistently.
Should I dtd tonight or wait?

[begonia]

So you know these boards get stuck in your head when you're putting your child down for a nap and thinking OH NO! I forgot to congratulate iluv on her fun auntie news! And Bec O'd on her own and I didn't say anything! LOL. So anyhow, sorry to be tardy but I am SO excited for you both!!! Great news!

Princess the timing thing is so hard! I had an attempt this month and messed mine up because I did O early; I normally get a +OPK CD13, so was planning to BD that night and CD11 for an O-2 attempt. Well ended up doing my O-2 on CD11 as planned (after 4 day abstain) but then got my +OPK on CD12. So we just DTD again.

So are you wanting to do 2x? Or are you still hoping for a 1x on O day? If you're OK with 2x I would DTD tonight, and then you should get at least 48 hours abstaining in before an O day attempt. Really it just depends on if you're wanting 1x or 2, because if you're wanting 1x I'd hold out for the +OPK. I don't temp either but was using OPK's ... mine were fading in but went + much faster than they usually do this month.
