♥ JULY 2011 TTC Boy Chit Chat Thread ♥

3PNB, sorry you feeling detached & i kinda felt that way until i saw the heartbeat so i'm sure next week things will change for you. You probably unconsciously detaching because of what happened the last time & maybe when you hear all's well you'll be fine. Yay for the up coming birth, it will be good for you. My work collegue's daughter's just gone into labour today, she's 9 days overdue & guess what she's still been having morning, afternoon & evening sickness can you believe it so i hear she cant wait to give birth

Bec, thanks for the reassurance about the Clomid. I am pretty convinced now that Clomid really doesn't sway, but it *could* affect it somewhat if there is no cm or no fake cm added, so I am def doing that now. I hope all pre-testing goes well for you!

Begonia, you guys are killing me with your junk food cravings....I always have that too. I think my body wants to stock up on fat right away as it knows it is going to pummel me with m/s shortly after. I love your attitude about not freaking about the kids, and WOW I hope your friend's kiddo is doing well! (And your munchkin, of course.) My DD2 just turned 6 in March. She turns to us last night and says, "Mom, why do they have to make chicken nuggets with buttholes?" DH, DD1, and I all buckled in hysterics. Turns out someone told her they make chicken mcnuggets with the chicken's buttholes, which I am sure is not far from the truth. (Have you guys ever seen SuperSize Me?) But yes, she is a trip. I frequently tell them they can't grow any more and need to stay little forever, and they are like noooooo, we want to grow up! I do hate the thought of not having enough time with them. I am ALREADY getting all anxious about them going off to college.....but at least I cherish every day. I didn't always have that attitude when I was a harried mom with 2 little ones.

Skrimpy, i hear you about losing baby weight but just take it easy for a while. I'm already thinking about how i intend to lose it all lool. By the way i've looked on IG & the predictions are all 50/50 so i'm more chilled about it now than i was a few days ago. Also i've reminded myself that it took me ages to conceive so i should be grateful for whatever i get as long as the baby's healthy. I think we get caught up with so much that we forget the real things that matter in life.

AMEN, sister! And if your tech says right side, that is supposed to be a boy! But regardless, all that does matter is your healthy baby. I am going to have to remember this also if I get pg....after all we've been through, I need to be grateful for any beautiful life that I am given.

Nope, not having any monitoring.....she just said pop them pills and dtd every other day starting day 10 through day 18 and call her when I know what happened. I mean, she said I don't really need it, but it may help a good egg pop out (or may not), and that it is really unknown if it helps egg quality much, but it will definitely make me pop a solid and mature egg out. I am getting a little more excited, and am glad I am feeling that way. I've had the weirdest time since my m/c in May....a lot of bummed days, not to mention hearing the ex's wife is pg and due when I was. BOO! She is 16 wks now, should be hearing the girls come home announcing gender in the next 4 weeks. Super.

Skrimpy, awesome blog! Glad you are doing well. I totally think swaying does have an effect also. I hope you are right about the bulk helping. I certainly don't look as "fat" as I used to, which is what shocked me with the weight, so I bet I've turned a good bit of the fat to muscle. Thanks for the input! Is your old sway on here? I think I remember reading it on IG. Sorry to hear you have to wait to exercise, but a little more healing never hurt.

TTC5, I hope you feel better soon! FX you have the early preggo sickies like I usually do!

3pnb, I am sorry you still feel detached. As I said before, I will be the exact same way if I get pg. Just try to stay positive....nothing to worry about until you have something to worry about, right! It's so interesting how our minds and hearts try to protect us by creating detachments....which I've been experiencing myself as you guys have read.

1 year at this is a really crappy 1 year anniversary. I've started heavily looking into swaying the beginning of March and have had a few attempts but a year....that blows my friend. I think I would be very lightly swaying too. I don't want to take any real breaks since I lost so much time w/ my cycles (although I did still O it was just all over the place) and at 35 I really would like to just have another chance at holding a new life again. Who knows though I'm all over the place w/ what I want but I'd really still like to have another boy, my focus just isn't 120% like it was. 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.

Ah, the joy of being 35. I am glad to hear that time has healed you a little bit. It is probably much healthier for you to go into ttc with a laid back and "just want a healthy baby" attitude. You just gotta give swaying what you got, that's all I can do at this point also. Getting pregnant and keeping the baby will seem like the greatest gift ever at this point.....so funny how my attitude has changed from a year ago. Back last July, I was studying IG like I was taking the most important exam in my life, and thinking, pffft- this conception thing is no big deal, just worried about how to do this bsf shit! And here I am a year later, not giving a crap about bsf and about to take Clomid. Ah well, such is life! Don't worry if you don't have a fire.....sometimes I think all we just need is a nice simmering log burning under our butts to get along and be ok versus a roaring fire. We'll get there!

Ok so you taking the clomid cd3-7 then. I think they say you should expect to ovulate a few days later so i'd start those opk's sooner rather than later. I hear cm is only really affected when you take huge doses of clomid so talking from my last experience of taking 50mg i dont think my cm was less than normal. I REALLY hope it works this time, cant wait to talk about our symptoms etc. I bet you hope your ex has baby girl, right? I too hope so.

HELL YES I want him to have another girl! LOL He hates women and thinks we are worthless....info that I would have appreciated knowing before we got married. He was one of those sneaky ones that acted all sweet until he "got" me and then the real him came out. But, I'm sure it will be a boy.

Yep, day 3-7. I read you O anywhere from 5-10 days later, but I think we may dtd every other day like my dr suggested starting day 10, but good idea, I will start opks right away. I bet it will make me O on like cd10 or something. I know, I hope it works, too! Glad to hear the cm doesn't get too affected. We will likely do the preseed or ew anyway....I don't know if I can do ew every other day, might get sick of that shit after a couple times and just do preseed. Did you gals start a pg thread for the blue crew preggos?

Oh, and have you seen FB? Holly is having her baby in a week.....Sarah told me that Nicole had a m/c and is trying again right away, poor gal. She's had it rough too.

[babydes56]

I hope too that he has another girl, arent we cruel? I just couldnt keep ew up there, i dont know how others have managed to do so. Yes i did see Holly's post about c-section on the 14th. Poor Sarah i feel for her because she really has a had a hard time, it must be soul destroying.

I can only keep a little ew up there, but I guess it doesn't take much. I may alternate, just see what I'm in the mood for. I know, Nicole has tried everything, been at it longer than we have I think. Sarah is still on her break also, been a long road for her too.

[babydes56]

I hope it works out for Nicole/Sarah in the end. So you going to dtd every other day, at least you'll have a spring/summer baby unlike my Feb baby.
