Hi ladies, sorry I've not been on.

Quick update on me: I'm on CD 9 I think and will start taking OPK's on Saturday. DH's 36th b-day is tomorrow and I told him Saturday night (his party) is his last night then cut off begins.

I've been on the thyroid meds for 2 weeks I think. Setting my alarm for 5am to give me the 4 hours before any dairy or iron. Suck. Oh well. I'll have to wait and see if my cycle is back on track or not this month or not. I will keep you posted.

Cheeky, how's the poas going? Fading in yet?

TTC5, that's some poas action that you have going on. The digi stick at 11.30pm doesn't look like a positive out of the actual tester. Is the bottom ic one from 11.30pm as well? I do love seeing that smiley. Going to have to get me one of the digis I think. Where did you end up finding it? Hope you are managing to get some sleep today after your busy night. How did it go?

Lola, just keep in mind that if you do take Clomid, you can't take EPO or wheatgrass.

Begonia, the ignorance would be bliss again wouldn't it? Can't wait to see your nub pics.

How's everyone else going?

Rememeber how last week I thought I was going to O? Well, I didn't then. But I am now 4dpo. So freakin excited that I am starting to O on my own. That's two months on my own. And I had really good EWCM too, go the fish oil! Hopefully my body keeps co-operating.

That's awesome, Bec!

Tink for food recs I ate at least 2 of these a day, packed with sodium/potassium and a decent amount of protein. I loved them! http://www.ballparkfranks.com/franks-turkey-franks

Also dried fruit + nuts is excellent. And beef jerky is another good protein + sodium snack to have with dried fruit. I grew to love v8 hot and spicy, buy the low sodium and just add a ton of salt. Hmmm, oh I ate cereal with whole milk every night, too. And lots of fruits and veg, obvi potato, banana, tomato, but also avocado is great IMO for ttc boy with the fat/potassium. For breakfast I usually ate eggs, bacon, and fruit salad.

So there's some ideas to get you started ...

Last night we were laying in bed and my DH was like, do you think there's any chance this one could be a boy? I felt so sad for him, in a way, because I know he wants a son so badly but doesn't think it is possible for us. He said that's why he wants to wait til delivery too. It's the first time he has admitted all of that. Anyhow, I don't know if I'm just protecting myself or it truly is intuition but my gut tells me it is another girl. That said I was sure DD2 was a boy so I've been wrong before ... here's hoping I'm wrong again, I would love for DH to have a son. And this is for sure our last baby so we're either getting a son now or never.

Awwww! I sure hope it is a boy for you and DH.

Yes, tonight around 10pm should be excellent timing

[Zivic-Bubac]

How many days of +opks do you usually get & why did you not wait you had +opk. Do you think the opk would have been + had you used a better brand? How many times are you planning to dtd?

I usually have 1 day of fainter +OPK and the next day +OPK, so I'd say 2 days.
Last month I've found cheaper OPK strips, so I couldn't resist and bought them What a waste of money....I'll post a pic of that crap so no one repeats my mistake.

Hun, if you are hypothyroid and taking medications for that condition, that sways blue ( there was a thread about it on IG, all hypothyroid ladies had boys, esp with Hashimoto Thyreoiditis. My sister also has Hashimoto and was on medications when she got pg with her baby boy who is 2.5 years old now)

[Zivic-Bubac]

So excited to obsess over symptoms with TTC5 and ZB!

Zivic, woo hoo! Let the 2ww begin. So excited for you and TTC5!

Hun, if you are hypothyroid and taking medications for that condition, that sways blue ( there was a thread about it on IG, all hypothyroid ladies had boys, esp with Hashimoto Thyreoiditis. My sister also has Hashimoto and was on medications when she got pg with her baby boy who is 2.5 years old now)

Thanks ZB. I googled hypothyroidism and IG and in 2009 Tamara said it doesn't sway but seemed liked a lot of the people w/ it did have boys. Hopefully you found better news though. FX!

You probably have not ovulated yet. I get two smileys in a row, but O very shortly after second. I think your timing looks great!
