August Thread for TTC Blue - Chit Chat!

[Flava]

Flava - smiley on the monitor means BD time right? It's interesting that you're getting your peak high reading and smiley the same day. If you are comfortable waiting to try I would def watch to see what it does in Sept. Even if it's different that what it does for most women, if it's a consistent thing for you, you can learn your signals and stuff to plan out timing.

Why is this interesting? I thought everyone get it this way. At least I do back when I was ttc #4 was the same. Only I got 3 smiley opk and not 1!
hmmm maybe Im older and not that fertile anymore that's why I got less + opk??

And no I don't want to wait any longer Im waiting since April and spend so much money on this already.DH is not happy...I just think Im not doing timing and that's it.

capricorn- Just try to do the diet best you can and if you worry about pH do BSF. My pH go up to 6.4 and this month was 7.0 but I still do BSF at least once even if pH don't matter much.

3pink-I hope it's your boy!!!Can't wait to see new pics!

Zanacal- fwiw we dtd every other day from day 10 to 20 and I've got 3 girls. I honestly think the lube we used (ky) played a much bigger factor then the frequency.

Hi 3Pink! Yes, it's obviously not the only factor but I think that some are scared of DTD that often for blue (every other day and not every day) but I've read that it's plenty of time for those sperm to recharge (or whatever they do!!). I hope your bump's doing well

Skrimpy - I just wanted to say that all my boys were guzzlers! They all fed very efficiently from the beginning, taking a full feed in 15-20 minutes and that quickly reduced to 10 minutes or so at a time. They were all exclusively breastfed but I got my period back at 13 weeks with DS1 and 9 weeks with DS2! I had a Mirena fitted with DS3 so I think that kept AF away with him.

So this is dumb but all the sudden dd1 doesn't want to fnd out the gender. She was only 2 1/2 when we found out w/dd2 but even before we knew she would only look a pink things, she was dying to know w/dd3 (she was 5) and again proudly told us before the us it was a girl. Earlier in this preg she wanted to know and was saying she wanted another sister so now that she doesnt want to know I've been pushing to find out why. She is afraid/sure the baby is a BOY! Now I'm really trying not to read too much into ths but it's really hard. I know it's dumb but I'm hoping this time its the kids who get the gd not mommy and daddy lol

Isn't that funny. Maybe she has some type of sense about your babies gender. My oldest (10 at the time) didn't want to know the gender of the baby last time, but after everyone else knew she wanted to too. I agree, I hate for anyone to have GD, but if it has to be someone.......might as well be the kids Besides you already gave her some sisters.

Oh Flava all these monitors get mixed up in my head - I was thinking it gives you a high reading for a couple of days before the smiley but it only goes from open to the smiley. So just ignore what I said, lol. What are you using to decide if you're going to test or not?

TTC, Im sorry someone made such a nasty comment to you. I would look into the Paleo. I'm not to familar with the Primal, but it must be in the same lines as the paleo. I have lost a total of 12 lbs and really fast. And It really falls in line with the boy diet. I think 3pn will agree. If go back to a few posts. She told me to just add in poatoates and milk and I will be good. DH is eating pretty hearty these days as well. I have been stuffing him full of steak, tri tips and all kinds. He need to up his fruit i think. But so far so good. I think we will wait till OCt! Thanks ladies!! XOXO

[skrimpy]

Tink paleo/primal are essentially the same thing

My plan is to add potatoes and probably some oatmeal when we start TTC (I still do milk now) to get a higher carb level. I'm hoping to lose some weight right now!

Awww hugs and kisses to you

How far pregnant are you TTC5?

TTC5 did you do any of the boy sway things??

Goodluck and I hope there is a blue bundle cooking in there.

No I am not pregnant that is the thing, I swayed for a few months and gained too much weight so now having a break to lose some.
