[TTC5]

thanks girls. I want to
do 0-2 and 0 day. I usually get positove opks on cd 14 and 15.
Hubby released on Monday so was planning to dtd friday and sunday. does that sound like a good plan. I am 35 and really want a bfp but i know that dtd every other day got me my dd2 so just trying to tip the scales in favour of a boy but believe
what will be will be!

Sounds like a good plan!

[TTC5]

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 used my last test this morning lol I caved haha

[TTC5]

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

I didn't have fab ewcm like others seem to get so thinking of dropping l arginine wish I knew that sooner!!

[TTC5]

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

Thanks!

So my temp this morning stayed same as yesterday???????? 14 dpo af due today but BFN?????

[TTC5]

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!

How exciting!

[TTC5]

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!?

I would skip a month.

[TTC5]

Thanks Baby, me too. It would be nice not to have to rely on Clomid. But what will be, will be.

TTC, if you have to attempt again what do you think you will change with your supps?

Will drop l'arginine

Tink - my bil is a world class a-hole but my mil thinks he's funny and clever. I know I'll be karmically punished for it at some point but I take a little too much joy in his wife's ever expanding ass. I've really got nothing against her other then everything she does is sweet and wonderful and if I do the same thing it completely doesn't count. My mil broke her leg and had to have surgery a couple years back and I was there 8hrs a day, 5 days a week for 4 weeks changing her adult diapers, helping bathe her cleaning and making everyone dinner. Sil shows up one day for about an hour and sits on the couch the entire time and mil tells everyone how we both took such good care of her. My parents always treated me and my sister the same so I don't understand the obvious favoritism, it's so cruel.

Welcome Petey's girl!! Check out the link ttc5 posted and feel free to ask any ?'s ya got, we're a chatty bunch but very friendly

ttc5 - See now I thought you'd cave lol Another bfn but no af?! You confuse me. I'd definitely drop the l-arg, my cm went crazy after I did!

Princessap - when I have o cramps they occur 48 ish hrs before egg drops so maybe you're going to O early!

LOL @ ever expanding ass!! That is the best thing I have heard all day!! When i offered to throw a surprise 40th anniversary party for my in-laws at our house. I told SIL in-law about it. We were both pregnant. Little did I know about her major jealousy issues them. They were starting to surface. She was like yeah, ya sounds good we can just do it at my house it's easier that way. (plus it's not easier, she is just lazy and serves everything on Tupperware. Not how I roll) I said no, that's ok, Keith and I would like to do it at our house. She was soo annoyed with me because she wanted all the credit for this party. It was so weird. I was just trying to do something nice. Because my MIL and had mentioned no one has ever made a big fuss over them being married for as long as they had. So I made a fuss. MY LORD did that bother SIL!! And as I do on ever event I host at my house I set my table up nicely and decorate. When she walked in she made some rude comments "its just 40 years, you didn't need to go all out" I just had my nice china out and some flowers on the table it's not like I had it catered. She just isn't use to it, because she serves Christmas dinner to her guests on paper plates and Tupperware...no offense to anyone but it's just not how I was raised. I use paper plates daily..just not when I am hosting a nice dinner. It's just irritates me. I wanna kick her in her no no spot.

Anyways...welcome peteysgirl!

TTC- are you feeling AF ish, She is suppose to come visit me this weekend. Ill tell her to stay away from you! Ill put her in a headlock.

Princess, I just want to give you a big hug!

Where is Kris today?
