♥ JULY 2011 TTC Boy Chit Chat Thread ♥

Cheeky- I hate those taunting little ghost lines, I used to use the earlypregnancytests.com tests and got horrible evaps, everyone here thought one of them was positive, me included. If you get another questionable line go buy a frer for this month and maybe buy a different brand next time

Layla- great news!! fx on your attempt this month. FWIW I've always been a ohw, even my loss (which I was swaying) was a first month, one time dtd bfp. The length of my ttc this time was due to healing time from my Oct d&c, the first month things went back to normal I got my bfp. Yes I'm a freaky anomaly, 6 bfp's first month out and all, but it isn't necessarily going to take you a year. Like lola and I have said prepare yourself it'll take a few but don't think it'll never happen.
Yep people can be quite cruel about gd, it's definitely best to keep your feelings with those who can understand. I've told very few real life people, if I'm having a girl I don't want to hear "I told you it wouldn't work" or have people think I don't want her.

Thanks Ladies, I'm pretty excited for my appt tomorrow. Feels like it took forever to get here so I'm sure the next three weeks will feel longer then the whole rest of the pregnancy lol

What is frer, First response early???

My first baby turned 16 today my 2nd will be turning 7 on Saturday. Where does the time go??

[iluvmyman]

Yes, exactly! I would not want to see it on television....you know you will get some dissenters when presenting opinions/feelings of gd to the public like that. Just gives it all a bad name, which gd and swaying and all shouldn't have.

I don't think I would ever go on national t.v. for anything. What people say on website comments......uh, no thanks. People should be ashamed of themselves for the horribly cruel and judgmental things they say, cuz apparently a computer makes you entitled to say whatever you want.

My FIL wanted to have us go on the Dr. Phil show to talk about the name we chose for DS2 after he died due to all the family drama the name we chose caused (we still don't talk to my FIL). Yeah right, 1st of all, Dr. Phil is always the next logical step....NOT! And 2nd of all, I would be crushed from all the horrible things people would say about either party and then the world's weigh in on the name we chose. Screw that!

I agree you need to be careful where you say things but I also don't think when I'm frustrated w/ my kids or sometimes even crying, that people should come up and tell me I should just be thankful for having kids at all and get over it, either. Love people where their at. We shouldn't dwell and we need to be healthy about disappointment and such, but let's have a little grace for people too. We are all doing the best we can. (this wasn't a comment to anyone on this site, just in general)

PMS or pregnancy.....not sure but I'm getting pretty amped right now.

[iluvmyman]

I see the line cheeky. I remember being the same way when pregnant w/ DS1 about it being my last baby and I'm now hoping for baby #5. I'll feel the same way if I can get prego again this time too. GL!!!

[iluvmyman]

I thought I was just getting fat from the boy diet but my stomach looks 3-4 months pregnant (especially right now w/ pms). My Dr. doesn't think my thyroid has anything to do w/ a bloated/distended lower abdomen but I found a lot of info online saying it does. Makes me have very little faith in Dr.'s. I was crying to DH since I've never been fat and it's seems like this is very hard to lose w/ thyroid issues. This has been a crappy year in so many ways and now I get to feel old, ugly and fat too. ho hum. I'm tired and going to bed.

BTW - my OB wants me to wait till my thryoid is under control (this is all by email so no face to face for more info) before ttc but I don't want to wait months and months to get my meds right (they only re-test every 2 months while figuring out dosage). Maybe this all points to I shouldn't have any more kids.

I havent started the diet 100% but i have added much more meat and nuts to my diet, have lowered my milk intake. Havent been eating AS MUCH m&ms. SHit is that hard. I have been trying to change some things...to gear up for the diet 100%. I am thinking I wont be able to TTC in Sept according to my O day. I am thinking we will Shoot for Oct, which is fine with me, as it will be closer to my cousins wedding if I get pregnant on my first try FX, hopefully i wont be barfing all over her wedding dress! lol, I am the MOH!! Still taking same supps! Hubby needs to start his soon! I am getting really excited!

ttc5 , havnt been on here for a while, dying to know if youre preggers!

[TTC5]

Cheeky that is a sure +!!! Congrats!!!

AFM sorry ladies I got called in to work for the day so that was great distraction for me No AF??!!!!! Have not tested either!!! lol Will tomorrow if I am not bleeding by the morning. And yes the nose bleeds are very odd for me!

[ELP]

iluv, how many po are you?? On 2 bfp occasions I've got bad PMS on around 9dpo. I hope its a good sign for you!!

[Plum3]

Cheeky, definitely a positive you have there. CONGRATULATIONS!!!

3PNB, how did your appointment go? Oh, you might not have had it yet actually. It's night here in Oz so I'm not sure what time it would be there...

Cemas, so now the 2ww begins! FX for you.

Begonia, it's good to hear how great you are feeling about everything I was so paranoid about my preg with DD2 that I hired a doppler at about 11 weeks, it was nice to be able to hear the HB whenever I wanted. It did stress me out unessecarily sometimes though, when I couldn't detect the HB.

Lola, your doctor sounds like she is on the ball. Your plan looks great. I really hope Clomid will do the trick.

TTC5, it's looking good! How long is your LP normally?

Baby, did you post a pic.. Oh I want to see too! Aww your daughter is cute, they say such funny things.

Iluv, I think you are spot on in saying that we should respect people whereever they are at. People are entitled to their own feelings and shouldn't be judged. Try not to be discouraged about TTC and being on thyroid meds. I know it's easier said than done though. Surely they can test more often than every 2 months?? Especially when you are TTC. The meds should take effect a lot sooner than a that anyway.
