Christmas Babies!! TTC Pink April

[girliedreamz]

Good luck, Abifasc!

dreaming...have you thought of DTD every 4 days? I had a total crap time of pinpointing O last month (even with a +OPK!), so if I get a bfn this month, that’s what atomic suggested might work well for me next try. Essentially, it’s still 1 attempted in the fertile window, so it should have good girl juju.

Fingers crossed for all of you in the 2ww! I’m on cd25 today. I figure I have about 3 more days before I become obsessive about symptom spotting.

Yay! Goodluck for this month. Hope to hear that you get that BFP. Have fun, relax as much as you can and fingers crossed for you. 😀

Hi ladies,

I am finally joining in for christmas baby. Have been so torn between attempting or not but last night we did and today I got a super strong +opk (knew it was coming, had strong line plus ewmc). We didn't do fr this time but dh realeased in the morning as well (on his own), would that be good or bad?

Took antihistamines 4 hours before bd and will take some today if noticing any ewcm. It just makes me so tired though, I slept for 12 (!) hours to night! Fell asleep at 9 pm and while dh took kids up in the morning I just couldn't get myself awake! I am taking Cetrizine and it shouldn't be like this as from what I've heard.

When I woke up this morning Dh had a fever, so only thing bad about bd last night is that It would have been better now, due to his sickness. Not sure he would have agreed though.

GL to all of you!!

Marika, can you buy chlorpheniramine where you are? That's what I take and it doesn't make me tired...cetirizine does, though, even though it 'shouldn't'. Try 4mg at first, you can up that to 8mg if it doesn't dry you out enough. It only lasts 4-6 hours so you do need to redose fairly often.

Lilith, yes, I will go to HRC in SoCal. I badly need to get some stuff from my house in NC and ship stuff over, so really I should make a trip ASAP. Unfortunately it's now too late in the year to ship my wine collection over, but I can go over in Nov and spend the Winter in the US. Although if I want to do a FET in Dec/Jan I guess I should cycle well before then...if so I will try to get at least 4 high quality embies of each gender and I'll feel set for life. I guess I can use a sperm donor with ideal sperm, too, if I go that route...or at least one of my American friends.

It would be nice to cycle sooner in CZ (closest option) but after all I've read on the HT board, HRC really seems like the way to go.

At least I got to eat lamb last night! There's no point in me continuing the diet and in fact, low carb is best if I go HT. Atomic did recommend I start there, not sway, if I have a strong gender preference, while I'm still under 35 (just turned 33).

Maiden - thank for advice. I looked for chlorpheniramine (Klorfeniramin here) but it doesn't seem to be sold anymore (since 1985?!).

I'm just glad it's saturday so I don't have to be at work this tired. Noticed ewcm now so will have take another cetrizine soon... Better tae the kids outside then and bring some coffee to stay awake :-)

Maidentomother, please excuse my ignorance if you have said this, but why do you need to use a donor? I can see from your profile you are ttc no.1. Hope you don't think I am rude for asking! x

What have learned from symptom spotting: apparently I have PMS for the entire 2 weeks from O to AF. I never paid much attention before, but I’m on an emotional roller coaster and my boobs hurt like heck the entire 2ww. (TMI?) It’s no wonder women haven’t taken over the world yet. Half the time we’re hormone-nutty.

(I say as I have a huge business deal coming up and I’m supposed to be working on acquisitions all weekend but somehow my browser keeps going either to this forum or to the cute pink baby girl clothes on the babies r us site. Sigh. I need chocolate...)

Hey Ladies!
I think we are finally ready to join the christmas babies! I am soo worried i have not done enough.. Trying to stick with this diet is soo hard and i have been getting so confused with when to dtd. Has any one had success with o + 12 method? When are you all planing... Should i try before my positive opk and the after o day? ... This is my last try for a baby girl and i really want to do the best sway i can! Maybe i should wait until next month... AF will be over tomorrow so i still have a couple days to figure me plan out a little more!
Any advice would be very much appreciated!

Congrats to all the BFPs

I forgot how annoying the 2ww is. Ugh, I already want to start my poas addiction and I'm not even sure if I've o'd yet!!! Strong opk on Thurs am (dtd wed night). I'm prepping myself for BFN... Not at all confident But I'll test a gazillion times between now and AF anyway :P
