On a side note... I was at my two older son's swimming lessons today and sat down next to this women with her children. We started talking a little. She had a little girl about the same age as my youngest. I asked her how many kids she had and she said she had six and I said that was great ( I know a lot of people can be somewhat negative when you have 3 or more kids, so I was trying to make sure I sounded like having a lot of kids is great, which I truly believe.).... She told me she had 3 boys and 3 girls. I told her that I had 3 boys... Do you know what she said to me???? "Oh, I am sorry." You should of seen the look on my face. It was saying, "what the f*** does that mean???"

I was so pissed, I even started tearing up a little after I basically turned the other way and started playing with my youngest son who was fussing up a little because he wanted to get out of the stroller and play. I noticed she proceeded to sort of act like oh my little baby girl is so good. WTF??? No offense to anyone here, but today a pigeon pair mother times 3 really pissed me off.

You are strong to hold your tongue! I probably would have said "I'm lying, actually I'm sorry you have 6 kids" And that pretty much means she favors her girls over her boys!!!! How sad!

Thank you for sharing that re: DS2 DM! That makes me feel better to know I'm not the only crazy one. And I'm really such an optimistic, happy person ... I think I'm still just grieving so much for my friend's loss; I thought I was handling it better but within a day of the BFP all I could think of was her. Sorry to be such a downer!!! I know the odds are overwhelmingly in favor of me having another healthy little one. And I love the idea of our kids "waiting for their turn to come" ... pretty precious concept. It's funny b/c I always KNEW I'd have three kids so I'm super excited to meet this next one!

That's funny...I knew I would have 4 kids too My hubby didn't know that when he met me though- LOL! I've always wondered if I'd had a girl for my third, if I would have gone on to have a fourth baby.....
Wanna hear something strange? I've ALWAYS thought that I'd have BBGB and when DS3 was born I was shocked. I really do think that he pushed ahead of my girl because he was scared that he might not get a chance to "come down" Also, the medium that I see here in my town told me that my fourth child is really looking forward to joining us, and that she's getting impatient LOL Cute to think of it like that I have to just keep believing that she's going to join us one day...

On another note...wishy washy girl signed up for the conference today LOL So I'll be trying in late Aug/Sept. Can't wait to come back and obsess again....with the 50+ pregnancy tests I ordered off the net today...
I'll be following along the March DD club So excited for you!!!

Hey girls i usually have a 31 day cycle , If i use a first response test how many days past o would be the earliest to test?

If you test earlier than 10-14 dpo and get a negative you could still be pregnant.. still so early but I have heard of ladies getting good +'s at 9dpo

[3boys]

For all the girls feeling dizzy.... That is a FANTASTIC sign. That was my first symptom with DS3 and I am major dizzy this pregnancy too. Can't wait for the tests!

[Mochagirl]

I have a short 26 day cycle, so I'm rationalising testing at 8dpo even more since I figured out it will be 5 days before af is due! Quick question: my O was delayed by 2 days this cycle, I think because of Vitex. I assumed that meant af would be delayed too, but FF predicts af coming at the normal time. Does O timing not matter to the rest of your cycle?

Oh, and I'm feeling queasy again this morning, 7dpo. I also noticed my delated boobs are looking slightly more full .

[3boys]

Yeah def test at 8DPO hun. FRER say they can sometimes pick up BFP's 6 days befor AF is due so you can totally feel justified. LOL. Hope this is the real thing hun. I have all my fingers and toes crossed for you!!

[Mochagirl]

Awww....thanks, 3boys! I'm salivating thinking of all the yummy food I can eat this long weekend if I get my BFP tomorrow!

[Mochagirl]

3 boys: I just realised if I get my BFP, we'll both have 4 kids under 6 a year from now (well, depending when your ds1's birthday is). Pretty crazy, eh?

Your LP should stay the same, so technically your AF would arrive 2 days late, yes. How weird that FF didn't change that!

So excited for you to test tomorrow!

Well, ladies...I'm finally peeing on something now!!! Too bad they're only OPKs but at least that's something!

DM, I also like to think that our kiddos are just waiting to come to us. The Tibetans believe our kids actually choose us to be their parents. I think that is such a sweet concept. True or not, I like to think that…it makes me happy and gives me peace. I’m so excited for you to attend that conference! What you said about having your boy push his way ahead makes sense...That's what I alway think about our #2...We've always wanted at least 3 but were going to stop at 2 if it was a girl since my pregnancies are really rough. I'd rather have our boys closer in age anyway since they're more likely to be closer when they grow up. Hopefully they'll dote on our pink caboose.

PP, I’m so sorry about the pain surrounding your sister’s death. I’m sure you look at things like that as I do…a kind of reminder of how NOT to be with my kiddos. Positive and negative things steer me as a parent and as a person. I try (emphasis on try) to be thankful of the bad stuff since I know it’ll ultimately make me a better person/Mama. It’s really tough to do sometimes but for me, it works b/c it can bring me a bit of peace. HUGS I think you’re sway sounds great and I’ve got FX for you and I hope you guys nail it this first time!

Alexis – sorry you’ve got it rough…Hoping it’s a good thing!!! It’s still early so you may be getting BFNs for a while…Don’t let it bring you down, though!

Jjc – ARG! People can be so mean and insensitive! This (GD site) is the one place I know I can come where people understand the pain of GD and how hard we struggle to get the little ones we long for. We’ve got nothing but love and understanding here for eachother…just wish the real world was like that as well. I really think you’ll get your girl, whether it be a BFP her in a day or two or next year. All that running is AWESOME for girls!

Mocha – Hope you’re hangin’ in there…Just a little bit longer…

Pinkin – My cycle is annoyingly about 35 days (give or take a few) since I just got it back. This first time, I started testing at 8 days but I know that was too early. My earliest BFP was a really faint one at 12dpo. I had to do the “DH” test…as long as he can see a line too, it counts, lol. If you could hold out and wait until about 12dpo or so, that might save you some frustration if you don’t see a BFP quite yet. HTH!

Begonia – I’ ve been really nervous this time around, too. I just keep thinking, both of my boys are so healthy and normal so something bad is bound to happen this time around, especially since I’m older. I just need to relax and get in a good place…I’m so sorry about your friend.

Big shout out to my girls, GG and TTC5!
