TTC Pink February 2014

[sisterplease]

Hello everyone! I'll be trying this month too! Purchased a plan in December, so been following that and diet for about 10 weeks or so. On CD6 now. Have 5 sons (ages 18, 11, 8, 5 and 1) and a daughter (age 3)hoping to give my girl a sister as she has started acting left out and literally attacks every little girl we come across with affection and admiration. I constantly hear her playing in her room with make believe 'sisters'. I'd like her to know I gave it my best shot!! I also had 5 brothers and constantly harassed my poor mom for a sister :-)
Hope everyone has a successful month!! Love is in the air :-D

Ah thanks Mamer that makes me feel better. I am just so impatient. I was last time too. I don't think ill get pg anyway due to the back painkillers I am on I have had zero cm and not being able to get pg is a side effect so it'll be a valentines miracle if I do!

Hope its worked for us both on o-2. I am praying my temp rises tomorrow morning x

I had kind of become resigned to having another son and figuring if this next pregnancy is a boy I'll be alright but I was watching a show where a daughter was going off to college and her mom was saying goodbye and it made me realize how different that mother daughter bond is and I definitely crave it. My husband and I are going for one more biological kid and there's something about being a mom of all boys to be sure but I'm open to adoption of a girl down the road too, but I need to do some more soul searching and living before we commit to that whole process. I had a dream that I found out I was having twin girls and it surprised me how okay I would be with that. Lol two babies at the same time terrifies me!

You've expressed my sentiments, precisely! I couldn't love my boys any more than I do, but there is a bond between so many mothers and daughters that I truly crave. I am anxious about what going through it all will be like (sleep deprivation and all!) but I secretly would be thrilled with twin girls! My one worry about another baby now is the age difference.... My boys are 6 1/2 and 5. That's a lot, and I worry about a baby being lonely as she/he grows up. Do any of you gave experience with age differences like that?

Bayoudancer, I am a little in the same boat as my DH had a vasectomy reversal 20 months ago. It's been a lot if trying and testing, and this is our one last shot. Good luck to you!

I do! My little sister is 9 years younger and there's 3yrs between me and my older sister is(yes ironically im one of three girls!) She was v happy growing up no issues. Now we are v v close as if no age gap. My older sister has 7yrs between her eldest 2 and 7yrs between her muddle add youngest. Again they play fine x

Yikes twins, triplets, quintuplets! Wonder will we get any of them this month!

We have a few on clomid i think! And Greeneyes and I are twins ourselves, Greeneyes the more pregnancies you have the higher the chance too so it could be you!!
I've also just gotten my coil out which some say can mean twins in first few cycles though I'm not sure thats true, and the taller you are so at 6ft that gives me another chance too! Yikes!


Hi to the newcomers :-)

Haha, I have breastfeeding in my corner, age, number of pregnancies, I think my last pregnancy started as a twin pregnancy, clomid, I did vitex last cycle, family (personal) history of being a twin... lol If there is more then on in there, it better NOT be more then two! I don't think I'll be able to handle it!! lol

Welcome Bayoudancer and Sisterplease! (And, might I just say I am in total awe of you having 6 kids already, sisterplease! Ohmigod, I had to think long and hard about trying for #4 just thinking how overwhelming that would be. You , go, mama!)


Dh was finally able to pull the trigger last night, so to speak. Yay! So glad as I was starting to worry this cycle was going to be a bust. Of course, I’m not thrilled with all the worrying – what a slippery slope! I worry, then worry more than I’m worrying too much, then worry about how to worry less... gah! It seems the more I try to chill and be the zen girl-mom, the more I obsess and worry. Anyway, at least I’m in the 2ww! We’re going out of town this week, which I hope help take my mind off of it. Other than that, I’m just going to continue the diet and exercise and still shoot for next cycle. Fingers crossed for all of us!

Oh, and I would be beyond thrilled to have twin girls! 3 might make me freak a bit, but 2 would be so much fun.

I am in awe at anyone having more than one child Haha!! I am terrified! My son was/isn't an easy baby though. He was reflux and allergic to diary (still is) top to toe skin shredded from it and left with bad excema. Worst was the crying and no sleep though. He screamed day and night sleeping approx 3/4 hrs out of 24 for months until he was diagnosed. He's been in hospital more times in this last 2 years than id like to remember too. He a little tantrum pants now but so loving nd I wouldn't change him. He's only just started sleeping through the night but still wakes a few times a week.

God we must be mad ttc again Haha!! So im terrified! Hats off to you mama's of lots of kids x

Out of five kids, I have had two with dairy allergies (the two I has with current dh). The one who is still nursing had soy, legume, dairy, pork, corn, wheat, tomato, strawberry, carrot, and we cut need out too cause of how close the protein is to dairy. He too was very colicky, has failure to thrive, had a tube feed at night with special formula but refused to give up the breast. He still nurses and I'm pretty sure I'm dry!! LOL

I think if it happened again is be much more prepared for it!
