August Thread for TTC Blue - Chit Chat!

[Flava]

Hey, are all your DH's cooperating with the swaying stuff? My DH is taking his supps, but that is about all. He won't stop drinking his beer, or smoking, or anything. I am so annoyed!

DH is doing good but I told him to lose some weight and that's what he can't do...and now he is angry about all the money spend on this.So I really hope we get a bfp next month!

Tink- you need full fat milk not 2%. And sups are very important for DH even more then for us.Some ice and red bull is nothing next to it. Try to tell him he must take it.

I'm sorry, Hobber. DHs haven't read up on all the things we have, so they don't understand the importance of the things we ask them to do.

How is this for a kick in the face, got asked yesterday at work if I am due soon.... :S GAHHHHH I am SO FAT :'(

I have been asked that many a times this year....I know how you feel, K! Just keep working out, aren't you doing well with that?

Try not to get too mad at him.....I think every DH comes from a different place....mine is afraid the reason we can't make a baby is HIM, so he will do whatever. But, I also threatened to not continue to ttc if he was smoking or not taking his vitamins (which was also the advice of the doc after our last m/c counseling). Hobbs, your DH may think you already made one of each, so maybe he doesn't believe in it....IDK, but I think you can still have a great sway without him....just feed him lots of protein and hearty food and see if he'll at least take a multivitamin or something?

Zanacal, thanks for posting, that is so funny that you read that post of mine about your bding! I will say this again, and I know Atomic would back me up on this....timing doesn't matter. If you want to be further convinced, go on FF and search for charts with criteria "pregnant with boy" and see how many of those had a one time shot with a 4 day cutoff. Barely any. Most of them are ttc every other day or every day. Some twice a day.

I have SO many errands to run today, and just catching up from a busy week at work, but I just wanted to post a few things and say HI and LOVESSSS to everyone!

I'm CD8 today, and the bding every other day is about to commence. Trying to stay positive. Am going to pick up some ICs today, thanks for the reminder about those, Flava. And I lifted weights the other day, and now my biceps are so sore that I feel like a T-Rex with little curled up sore arms. Oh well. I am going to the gym in a minute to start the errands. TTYL!!!

[Flava]

lol Lola I feel like a T rex too only not with little arms Im just that big
I checked out FF too but if you search pregnant with a girl they also did a lot of BD.
Anyway I do at least 2 or more next month just because I never did it before and let's see if I get a boy like that. Well a bfp first of all lol.

Tink- thanks hun, the party was so much fun! Perfect your paleo sway and stick to whole eggs and full fat dairy. You'll keep your weigh gain under control by watching how much nuts and fruits you intake. Dairy is a moderation thing so no need to avoid it just keep it to a couple times a week. Remeber high fat, high protein, high nutrient for your sway. DH has been paleo for nearly a year now and the rest of us (yes the kids too) converted 5/6 months back. I was paleo + potatoes when I conceived and I honestly think it's great lifestyle and a good route to a boy, guess we'll find out in a few weeks!

Wp- yeah dh's family really values the sons, it's all about the family name. The you need to have a boy thing started when dd1 was 30 days old, she's 9 1/2 now. It's gotten real damn old.

B- LOVE the early morning cuddles, dd3 slept with me last night so we could snuggle all night! I can't believe she's 4

Flava- are you taking fish oil, it did more for my cm then anything else! Ooh yes try hummus, so good! I could eat my weight in hummus and pita chips lol
Here's hoping you're right about the junk food= boy, I've been living off French fries, chicken nuggets and Totino's pizzas lol

Lola- don't lose hope hun, I know it's devastating to get month after month of bfn. I know your journey as been so long but you have to have faith that you will get there. And ita not preventing IS trying, if you know there's a chance you'll still obsess.

B3blue- we love Fancy Nancy! dd2 had a Fancy Nancy party when she turned 4, it was so frilly and fun!

Alexis- bsf will turn your cm watery without washing it all away.

Yesterday was dd3's actual birthday so we spent the day doing at the zoo. It's her favorite place in the world so into the 90+ degree heat we went. The older two were at school so she got the royal treatment, I bought her cotton candy, she rode the carrousel and the train. In our house you get whatever you want for your birthday dinner and my silly bunny wanted homemade soup lol Before she went to bed she told me it was the best birthday ever! I love making their birthdays extra special but man am I tired today. In fact I think it's time for a nap lol

Glad the party went well and your dd had a great bday! We picked up pinkilicious at the library and it looks super cute. Reading it at bedtime tonight

Mine was ok for about a week. He hadn't touched the supps since! I'm going be zen for awhile since we have time and really get on him about it next month as he's iffy on ttc altogether and I don't want to rock the boat.
Diet is easy for us as we all eat the same thing.


We may have found renters for our house which is the best news ever on the ttc front! That mortgage stinks and having that financial pressure off for awhile will be splendid.
