♥ JULY 2011 TTC Boy Chit Chat Thread ♥

[iluvmyman]

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.

OMG, B! That is fricking Hilarious and I shared it w/ DH. That is so A-dorable! You might be in for some trouble w/ her for sure. I'd tell you stories about my DD2, but it would make you weep!

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

Don't forget the stomach. Hips, thighs, ass and that wonderful sweet ol' muffin top! No boobs for me either, I have to be pretty prego to get those nice boobs and not these pancakes or deflated balloons I have on my chest. I saggy A-Cup, like WTF!!! That's just not even fair, what benefit did i get at all in life in the boob dept. Good thing DH's a butt guy....oh yeah, that looks like crap too. Ahhhhhh, getting older is so much fun. What happened to the days when I was asked if I was anorexic.

this cycle i am not seeing any ewcm...let alone any mucus for that sake.....am on cd 17 already and no +ves....
wonder when i will O... i usually get good cm....what is drying me up...no change in supps
.

Cemas I noticed that when I started my supps I had massive ewcm, then gradually with no change it got less and less each month, I added co-q10 and royal jelly this month and had zero! ewcm. I think that alternating the known effective supps each month will stop our bodies getting used to the supps and keep a fresh new source of ewcm each time if that makes sense?? So, EPO one month, fish oil the next month, flaxseed the next month etc, any thoughts anyone...

[ELP]

This thread has so much going on!!!!

Lola, my friend has 4 children and her only son was conceived on clomid Her girls were all natural, maybe it was the change over all which got him??? Definately top up your ewcm with a bit of robitusen and EW maybe!

5, glad your DD is ok, its horrible when they get hurt isn't it.

All ladies good luck!!!!!!

So the trick then is to use the ew's or preseed and get the CM going as much as you can to counter act that. twins would be great I just think that baby stage would seem to fly by w/ 2 and not get to appreciate it as much. I wish they would stay baby's for longer, but baby's that sleep through the night, of coarse. I hate every day that goes by and they are 1 day older. It goes that much quicker when you have other children too since you are just busier than the days when you could sit on the couch all day and hold your baby.

Argh, you took the words right out of my mouth. I feel like DD2 has grown up so much quicker than DD1. I feel bad sometimes for not just sitting with her and enjoying her be little. I just wish there was more time to get everything done and enjoy my girls more while they are still small.

Bec, Lola and the girls recommended I go in to the Dr. after a couple jacked up cycles and AF's really close to each other, and I found out I have hypothyroidism. I would say that a check-up couldn't hurt.

I have to see a fertility specialist before we TTC anyway so he will do all the pre work up bloods like I've had done previously. I have regular thyroid blood tests as I developed hyperthyroidism during DD2's pregnancy. And both my mum and nan have it too. Not looking good for me!

ZB I dont have high blood pressure, but everybody else in my family from both mum and dad's side does. So I know it is my girl friendly diet - no salt very little meat, a lot of good carbs (and some bad ones) and fruit and veg that has contributed to that. One year of this diet would be too much for me I would not be able to handle it. There is no way I will allow myself to contribute to my own early death. The 9 fruit and veg is good for you only if you are not drinking juice like crazy and then counting all as part of your 9. My dietician says you only count 1 glass of juice as one serving of fruit, if you have another one you canot count that as part of your serving of fruit. Everyone should have 7 serves of fruit and veg per day anyway 5 veg 2 fruit (to be exact). I like vegies so I usually do have 5 in day but the meat the salt the fat it is really bothering me.

Iluv - thank you for sharing. I went to c my dr (GP only) today. She sent me for a blood test which I will do next week. I was low in iodine when pregnant with DD2 and had to take supplements. So if I was told I had thyroid problems I would not be surprised. I really hope not though, that would be hard. I think I would just give up on TTC if it did happen, so wow good on you for still trying.

Good luck all sounds like a busy month for you all.

Weird, I would've killed for another boy and was in tears about it a lot, but time is healing me a little bit too I think from losing DS2. I just can't seem to get that fire lit like it was under my butt. I'm trying though.

I'm glad you feel like you're healing through time Iluv. You bring such a positive attitude to this forum that one would never guess what you've been through in the past months. FX you get that sticky, healthy bean soon!

[begonia]

Ahhh, I liked blissful ignorance so much better.

Amen to that!!!!

Me too, me too!!! To all of this ... LOL. The a-cup wasn't so bad when I was a size 2, but an a-cup with the curves on my lower half?!!? LOL! Good times.

DD2's are clearly trouble How funny is it that all of ours are crazy little people?!?!

Iluv, do you think my body is missing any nutrients from Starburst and Skittles? I hope so, because they have practically become a food group for me too
