August Thread for TTC Blue - Chit Chat!

Congratulations Jane, that's great!

And Lola, I am really happy for you that ex-dh is getting another girl. I just hope he is able to appreciate all of his daughters and be a good father to them. And I hope his new wife is excited about the baby. But that is definitely poetic justice for him to have all daughters!

[WashingtonPromise]

Yeah, Jane!!!!

Lola : You should be our new TTC boy cheer leader !!! YOU CAN DO IT!!! WIN, WIN, WIN!!!
Oh, and congrats on your ex having a girl. My ex SIL thought I was having a girl with #2 and she was having a boy, but it was the other way around

I am sure the new wife is dealing with the same crap I did to some extent. He always made me feel like I let him down by having girls, even though it was not up to me clearly. I am sure she is excited though. She avoids me like the plague and is not a very friendly person so my daughters tell me (and other girls I know in our community that know her). Anyway, it is just a small little bit of happiness for me, even though I wish them no ill will. I just couldn't handle them getting a boy and me not getting a boy or ANYTHING at this point. Some of you divorced girls will understand, but I honestly deal with sometimes wanting him to suffer since he tortured me so much, but I really could care less about him and his wife and baby. So, just a tiny bit of smiling on my part, not to be evil or anything.

lola- thanks, thanks yeah maybe I can have a boy if some miracle happens lol I better go drink on this a nice gelatin shot

Your ex is just so dumb . He is rich so they can go high tech and get a boy.
Anyway I really hope you get that boy so his head can explode. lol

Ok I have a Q ???
I just checked my pH and it was over 6.5 Still have some spotting from AF so it's like a mix. Same thing was last month it was over 6.4.
Now the highest I ever got around O was 6.4 with EWCM.
So I was just thinking could this be because my egg had a nice high pH or it's just silly thoughts? (more like a wish lol)

JANE!!!! Congrats love! So happy for you; here's hoping you have a very healthy 9 months and FX for

Lola, LOL, I am so happy for you, too! It's a funny thing to be happy about but I totally am glad he's got girl #3 on the way. I hope he treats her well though; sucks to be the girl when your dad wanted a boy. Anyhow, I really REALLY hope you and DH get your son so that your ex will be eaten up with envy! FX for a BFP tomorrow or soon!

Flava! Wow what a great birth story lady! Super you! That pH is great; esp since you aren't even testing EWCM. Can't wait to see what that EWCM tests for you this month! I hope you do try in October. Did I tell you my FIL (who I adore and we will name a boy after if we are so lucky) has 4 older sisters? Totally could be you (and you, TTC5!) But I am with Lola on this, you HAVE TO BELIEVE this can happen. Get down in the dumps after the BFP if you must, but from now until then, you MUST be positive. I know your experience makes that hard, but really, it will do you so much good to believe with all you possibly can that you will be holding your son next year.

Speaking of pH I totally went all OWT and took my urine pH with FMU this am I was cleaning out my bathroom cab last night and found my phion strips from when I used to try to test CM. I gave up on CM but did try to monitor my urine while swaying bc pre-sway I was super acidic (5.0) and during the sway was optimal with a 6.5/7.0 usually. Anyhow I was shocked to see it come up an 8! It was never that high when I was swaying. And my diet has been super acidic because all I've wanted to eat has been fried food and soda So I'm totally, obviously having a boy now Between that and the needle test there is no way this is a girl I crack myself up.

The weird thing is the past 2 days I've been totally great with the idea of another little girl! I hope that continues. My hormones are in a happy place. How to keep them there?!? I would love love love to have no GD.

Anyhow ... WP when will you test again?!?! Still going with the good'ol no-af test?

Daisy how are you? Aren't you close to O again?

[WashingtonPromise]

I had to run out to the store, so I got a pack of Answer tests.....BFN, again. There is no faint, no nothing, just one lone line. I don't know what to do. I checked my chart from last month and I had a 28 day cycle. Now I am on day 33. I know I Oed a little later, but this crap is really starting to tick me off!!!! I think at this point, I may be just as happy to see AF. We are only going to TTC for July and August....my August cycle is being ate up my this crazy one.

Sorry guys, I am just in a crappy place right now. I guess it is the fact of not knowing what is going on. Should I still be on the diet? Supp?

Our cow is pregnant....I guess I should be happy for her.

[begonia]

My flipping computer ate my reply!!!

WP I am sorry about the BFN and super sorry about the crazy cycle. I would keep at the diet but what supps have you been taking? Did you start anything that could have impacted your cycle?

And when you said only TTC July and August do you mean you will stop altogether then or just wait until later this fall/winter to try again?

Congrats on the cow ... did you have her POAS too?!?! Seriously though... I have no idea how you even know a cow is pregnant!

[Princess of Pink]

Huge congrats Jane!!! Super excited for you!!!
