♥ JULY 2011 TTC Boy Chit Chat Thread ♥

Babydes will you get an NT scan? I think that will give you a much better guess than the ramzi theory. I think that is like the OWT ... it has a 50/50 chance of being right!

Lola I also have two friends with boys who were on Clomid! And only one with a girl. So it definitely happens. I think if you're doing other stuff to counteract you're doing what you can, especially the egg whites or preseed since the Clomid girl-factor is really the CM drying up.

Iluv I wouldn't worry about the drinking or not being perfect on the diet at this point, y'know? It is what it is and you can only do so much. Can't sacrifice your life for this! Well, I guess some people can, I think it just depends on what it is worth to you, KWIM? I'm glad your cycles seem to be sorting out again.

Cheekymoo hold out til at least 9dpo to test! You can do it!!! Are you having any symptoms?

TTC5 my baby girl ran into a wall and split her forehead open. It was pretty nasty. There was zero doubt when I saw it that she needed stitches. She's a crazy little animal and unfortunately seems to be as accident prone as her mother

Oh gosh!!! Hope she heals very quickly with minimal scarring. xx

Morning girls 7dpo and going to try my best not to test tomorrow as 8dpo is still very early right?

Came down with a sore throat yesterday... feels ok this morning but I did feel a little chesty this morning..

Glad your bean has no respect for your ass either, mine's been demanding sugar wafers.

For reals. It's a little ridiculous, the need for junk. I mean what is that?!?! We're having carnitas for dinner with guac and salsa and all the good stuff, and all I want to eat is tortilla chips with cheese melted on top. Lots of cheese. Like, maybe a full pound

(sorry for the dairy porn there to those of you avoiding calcium...)

[begonia]

Glad I'm not the only one, 3pnb! Denial it is, then. I think that is the best strategy at this point also!

B, I'm just about 2 or 3dpo now (no attempt, of course), so I expect AF midmonth, then will take the Clomid and go for it next cycle. Should be Oing around 7/31 or the first of the month.....RIGHT WHEN MY MOTHER IS IN TOWN. F&%K ALL. I would say that at 35 years old, and with a year of fertility bullcrap, I should be ok with telling her to enjoy a movie while we go do it, but alas, I just cannot handle that....so we will be maybe doing some early morning lovin.'

But I am getting a bit more excited now that I saw my dr and we have a "plan." I think I may do more boy-friendly stuff this month to counter the cm-drying/girl-swaying effects of the Clomid.

Ok this made me LOL too!!! The mom thing! I swear when my mom is in town I tell DH absolutely no touching me. Nothing ruins the mood like a mom in the next room. Maybe the O will move a bit and it won't be a problem! I'm glad to hear you're getting excited too ... I know the last year hasn't been the most encouraging but this (you with a nice sticky bean) is going to happen, darn it!

AND your next post about DD2!!! Oh my goodness yours, Jen's, and my DD2's would be besties!!! LOL! The mental image of her catapulting herself out the door, I love it! But with personality this big I don't worry one bit about her being a middle child, KWIM? There is NO WAY she will be lost in the shuffle, that's for sure.

Chesty like your boobs are bigger?!? I know that isn't what you mean but that is totally what I thought

WAIT til 9 dpo! A BFN is like, 99% guaranteed at 8 dpo. Not saying it doesn't happen and if you're just curious to see how early you can get one (which I will totally admit, I was) then test away! You're so close!!!

[3Pink1Blue]

ttc5- yes dear 8dpo is way to early

b- I would love to crave real food, I'm getting sick of my limited allowance. Things seem to be getting broader, I can actually eat cereal again.

Lola - I love hearing you more positive! Glad you're excited and feeling good about your next attempt.

Lola and B - how old is dd2? mine's 6 1/2, when she was 4 she very innocently made an 8 y/o boy cry, we know fun times are a comin lol

LOL I wish! They are bigger but that is from weight gain, LOL!!

Jen my DD2 turned 2 in May. She's been a hot mess since she started walking, really... today at the grocery store she asked me for a candy bar in the check-out, and I told her no. So she sweetly said "Ok, Mama" then turned around and asked the complete stranger "Puh-leeeeese, sir, wud you buy dis candy fo' me?" right in front of my face. Clearly I need to work on her and the concept of stranger-danger.

TTC5 I wish mine got bigger with weight gain! It all goes to my hips and thighs. Waaaaaah.

[Plum3]

Lola, that dose seems fine. I started on 25mg but didn't O with that. I conceived DD2 on 50mg cd4-8 first round. I know heaps of people that have conceived boys on Clomid as well. Is your doctor going to monitor you with ultrasounds to check for follicles? That way you will know if you have a chance if multiples.

Thanks for the advice on the fish oil Lola and Begonia. That's the only thing I have changed so it could be that perhaps. I never had to take progesterone during the 2ww as my levels were always fine. And as for the oopsie.. we did dtd unprotected about 3 or 4 dpo so I'm very doubtful that it would be implantation spotting.

I can't believe you haven't tested yet TTC5!
