FX Ladybug!

4Blue, your chart looks like mine (I'm 7dpo also). I got a huge dip today as well. FX it's an I dip for us both!

DM, LOL about the best first date EVER!!! You two were obviously meant to be!!! If it makes you feel any better, on our official first date, my DH and I drank a bunch of tequila shots, I threw up in his car, and then we had sex. LOL He still loved me. But I think my top day is about 4 times, and man, my lady parts felt like they had been scrubbed with sandpaper for days.

Glad you all liked my dream story. I think we've all had some sort of experience like that whether we know it or not. I do like to think she is my guardian and I still sort of "talk" to her. Zanacal, I am sorry to hear about your nanny!

Yay for a huge dip today!!! I hope this is it for you Lola!!! AND about your first date!!! He still DTD with you after puking in his car....I think it was love at first sight!!!!! I agree about the sandpaper feeling....whenever I complain about it being a tad bit tender after a long session or multiple times my husband always jokes that it shouldn't be "cause those things are as tuff as a pigs snout". Yeah. Charming. BTW...for the most part he's pretty normal.....LOL

DM - Hubby and I talked for days but we met one day for lunch... 4pm dtd, ate dinner, and so on 7x's! So I know what it is like to feel a little dirty!

WOW! Impressive PP!!!

I didn't think I was going to be able to try again until but Sept but I changed my flights and we may have caught a o+12....Its was a weak sway for sure....I used replens Sat night and followed the diet and took supps...thats it....I am 4dpo and I feel nothing....let the waiting and peeing on sticks begin....lol...

Good luck ladies....I hope there are lots of BFP's this month!!!

Yay! So happy to have you on here Ladybug!!!! Fx'd for you, Hun!!! xo

OMG- LMAO about "tuff as a pig's snout" EWWWWWW!!!! I love it!

And yea, PP that is impressive also!!!!! That was a busy first date for you!

[zanacal]

Sorry AF arrived Mocha x

Good luck ladybug, I so hope this is it for you. How is your mum?

Lol at all the first date stories - DH and I also dtd on the first night and look at us all still together and making babies

Thanks, ladies. I'm really feeling ok now - I got the depression out of my system when I got my BFN at 12dpo and assumed this wouldn't be my month. I'm going to ease up a bit on the diet this month so I don't lose anymore weight and so I can allow myself treats every now and then.

The only thing that's still bugging me is the due date if I get pregnant next month - it will be exactly on my twins' birthday. I could potentially have 3 birthdays in one day, or in the very least 3 birthdays in one week! I don't want to delay TTC anymore since I'm turning 37 soon and the gap will be starting to get too big between ds3 and the third child. Also, I know that if I take a break from the diet I'll never be able to start it again - I need to keep the momentum going. But am I crazy to knowingly try for a baby that may come on an already shared birthday?

[zanacal]

I would try not to worry about it Mocha - you don't know for sure when you'll ovulate next month and a 'normal' pregnancy is between 37 and 42 weeks so there's a big possibility that you wouldn't have the baby on your boys' birthday even IF that was your due date

DoulaMama: We are thinking about doing UC with the next child. With baby #6 I almost delivered in the car, my labor was less than 1.5 hrs from the first conx until baby was out. Dh has caught children #2-6 and is a P.Officer and is trained in emergencies. I have a midwife now in a practice that will not allow her to deliver outside the hospital. We may still look into another midwife. Do you have any material you recommend (dvds, books)?

I really love the book, "Heart and Hands" by Elizabeth Davis. It's a fantastic resource for UC couples. It's midwife's handbook and I keep it on hand as a doula and during my own births. Another resource would be Laura Shanley's UC discussion boards- http://www.unassistedchildbirth.com/ click on the discussion board link near the top of the page. The video near the top is pretty amazing too I used to be a part of the UC boards on Mothering.com but they've become too main****** for my liking and many times women are defending their choices when they should be supported. If you are on Facebook there is a private UC group- https://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/125638227527912/ as well as other open unassisted groups- https://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/2340851877/ and this one( I like this one)- https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Un...h/226462721209. I also read Emergency Childbirth by Gregory White. It's simple....not something I think you need to read after having 6 kids

UC is more of a "follow your intuition" type of birth, so anyone can do it I had lots of supplies on hand but didn't need them all. I had herbs for bleeding(the more births a person has the higher the chance of potential bleeding) and really read all I could for 8 months straight...and then for the last month I just listened to my baby. I knew from the moment I got pregnant that it was going to be an easy birth. I think my little one just knew I'm also a fan of watching UC videos on you tube and reading UC stories on the net. I have my UC birth story here in the birth story section if you're interested. There are MANY stories on Laura Shanley's site I'm also trying to get my birth video downloaded...my stupid computer is not wanting to do it...so once that's done I can forward it on to you, if you want. Anyway...if I think of anything else I'll let you know!

I 100% agree with this. Most likely they won't share a Bday but to be honest...in 25 years down the road....how cool would it be if they DID share a Birthday! I seriously think it would be awesome! You can have a big BDAY get together with all your kiddos and celebrate with them, all at once. I know it won't fun when they are little...but they are only small for such a little amount of time. ((HUGS)) Mocha xoxo

Thanks girls - I know it's probably silly to worry so much about a due date. I just had visions of having my kids' birthdays split evenly with one in April, the twins in May and ds3 in June, and I think I'm realing form the fact I know that's not going to happen. I'm also getting worried since we're getting into boy territory date-wise - all 3 of my boys were (obviously) conceived in September/October (note: even though my twins were born May 11th, they were induced at 38 weeks (which is normal for twins), so they were actually conceived around Sept. 1st.
