♥ JULY 2011 TTC Boy Chit Chat Thread ♥

[begonia]

I am SO hoping you get your BFP Alexis! I just posted to you in June (and July, cause I'm a stalker, LOL!) 2WW that I went from stark white neg at 8dpo to a pretty obvious BFP on 10 dpo (but late in the day) with a FRER. And I do think those are very sensitive; when I tested the next day (again in the afternoon and not sure how long I had held my pee) with a CBE digital, it came up negative. So I totally rec the FRER.

I go 7/28! I'll be 8 weeks and 2 days! Hoping for a nice strong heartbeat

Thanks begonia! I'm really hoping tomorrow is THE day too! I'm driving myself crazy already with all these "symptoms!" lol

Hoping for a strong heartbeat for your little one too!

I doubt i will be trying this month or for a few months maybe, my donor is messing me around so i'll most likely be going through a clinic to do IUI or maybe IVF. The out of pocket cost after Medicare rebate for IUI about $1,200 and about $1,800 for IVF so not that much difference. At least with IVF the eggs and sperm are put together and if they fertilise i get to use the rest in subsequent attempts if the first doesn't work. I don't know, I like the odds more with IVF but don't want to go through all the testing and meds.

Look at it this way, it will prob work out cheaper than having topay for hotels/travelling etc to get a donor!! Wish you all the best!!!!

I don't care about the costs, we're just so over donors! Sarah had trouble with a few as well so we'll just give it one last try with my donor if he is willing that is. IVF is tempting as the egg is fertilised before it's put back in. I just worry about the left overs, as i'm not sure if i'll be having more than one. If Sarah can't get pregnant then i'd carry hers somehow...not sure what the laws are in NSW so i don't want to have too many embryos frozen.
I should ovulate in 4 days so i will email my donor, as he said if he's not on his ski trip he will do it. If i don't get a response i will write him off and move on.

July already!? Come on AF, ready to try this next cycle!

Also, just FYI, I took my DH's sperm into the lab to check out the results under a microscope. Great straight swimmers! It really was a relief after he had had two fevers and maybe a clogged duct.

Great news!

Skrimpy I'm thinking milk and some fruit juice and I'm at least getting some protein and vitamins! It bums me out bc I really believe it matters what I eat even now, so I wish I could stomach some solid, well rounded meals for this little one. Hopefully that will come soon. It's interesting to hear that your DH always wanted to find out, b/c my DH never wanted to know, he's always wanted surprises ... though I think with this 3rd now that we have 2 girls he is more curious than he was with either of our 1st pregnancies. It is so wonderful to hear you go on about how happy you are with Honor; I remember some of your tough days and hope those are far behind you. And FX you get your blue caboose

Oh and so in pregnancy symptoms, I have NEVER had this much CM. Good heavens it is ridiculous. I've read that it is normal but I know I didn't have it with either of the other two. I'm not trying to read into it from a gender standpoint more just remarking on how crazy it is!

I don't want to tell people about our bean until I at least hear the heartbeat, but wow is it hard! We're going to dinner tonight with some friends and the wife was texting me earlier about how we'll be cheers'ing our margaritas in a few hours, LOL. I'm sure when I say "I just don't feel like a drink tonight" (which isn't like me... I'm usually up for one with dinner!) she'll be on to me anyway. Hopefully she won't make me fess up and she can sit there quietly thinking to herself about it... they know we want one more so I'm sure it will take her all of 1 minute to guess why I'm not drinking.

We are off tomorrow for a family vacay (where I am sure my IL's will guess I'm pg again due to the no-drinking) and I won't be back til Tuesday, so hopefully no one will be POAS while I'm gone. I'd hate to miss big news! But I think our 2WWers are early enough I won't miss anything... FX for all of you!

Have a great time. Hopefully you can keep your little bean a secret!
