Oh don't worry about feeling thing! Having symptoms is the same like not having any. You can be pregnant both way .Or not.Remember how many girls here thought they are pregnant for sure because all this symptoms they had and the got a bfn.
I never care about it because they can trick you. You can be pregnant don't worry!

Hey! I have been SO busy at work lately, and weekends packed also.

4Blue....I had no idea you had those issues....I was tested for the clotting disorders also due to my losses but thankfully am clear. Do they have you on any drugs for that? And baby aspirin? I wouldn't take the abx unless you absolutely have to as well, but maybe they are for your clotting? And glad to hear you are starting Femara, from what I understand it is similar to Clomid. Good luck!!!

WP, LOL about your hub spitting out the eggs, that is too funny! Sounds like it's bd time for you, sister. FX!

Alexis, you are not allowed to feel out until you bleed, ok? I didn't have symptoms except the creamy yellow cm with either of mine recently. And lots of ladies don't, so just try to relax. When are you testing?

TTC5, nice job on the weight loss! I'll be excited when you start ttc again!

Flava, no worries, we are all here to cheer you on. You've got nothing to be afraid of, just give it your best shot!!!

And to everyone about the DH's: I do agree that it is better if he is on board with supps and a healthy diet also (at least a high-protein and high-fat diet, I think), but if he's not, don't think it's the end of you getting a boy. LOTS of boys are conceived by men who smoke and eat terribly and don't take a single vitamin. You could do the SNEAKY little things like maybe squash up a fish oil capsule and mix it in his salad dressing or even find a liquid multivitamin and put it in a fruit juice or smoothie.....I don't know, just some suggestions. Even if you just get him to take a multi based on it A) being healthier for him in general and B) making a healthy baby of either gender, I think most men will go along with that at the least. About the smoking: I got my DH to quit, but like I said, not without some threatening. For you guys, I think it may boil down to just a frank talk about how it's REALLLLLY BAD for sperm in general. I found some articles that I showed my DH (and he was freaked out) about how the sperm of smokers can be MUTATED and although can make a baby, can make ones that have dead gonad cells and the like. Meaning your DH's smoking can cause your child to be infertile. Anyway, of course know that not every smoker has this, but it's a better safe than sorry kind of thing. Maybe this will help convince them to stop....at least while you are ttc.

As for me, I am CD10 and already bding every other day. I am pretty chilled out about it. Hoping we get some bfps this month!

Hi laides. Sorry I've been gone. I've got a lot of things I'm studying and reading lately in my spare time (ha!) and then I'm tired pretty early but I think about everyone often. There is no way I can catch up w/ all the posts but welcome to some new members.

Any BFP's in the last 2 weeks. Lola, I'm soooooo bummed no BFP last cycle GL to you on this cycle. I'm sure DH isn't complaining too much about the every other day.

Hi Begonia!!!

I got to have 1 more in office U/S last week and heard the heartbeat on Friday. That will be it until my 12 week NT U/S in 4 weeks on Sept. 20th. I realized I'm due right around when I possibly conceived DS2, so that's kind of neat and a week or so after my brother's b-day (he died) so it's kinda neat for me. The in-office U/S put my due date at March 31st which is at least several days after my O date and certainly FDOL Menstrual. Oh well, I'm sticking w/ my ticker for now.

4blue, I'm soooo sorry to hear about the loss of your son at 2 months of SIDS. I don't even know what to say about that but my heart breaks. I sure hope you get pregnant right away and no more m/c.

[LolaInLove]

Hey Iluv! WOWZA, 9 weeks already! Can't wait to hear how your u/s goes on Friday. Have you started teaching your kiddos yet? I am sure you guys are busy!

Thanks for the well wishes....yea, DH is not at all bummed about the every other day bding, LOL. I am hoping it works this cycle too, I am getting SUPER ANCY. But trying to remain calm. Unfortunately, I only feel like I can sway for another month after this try, and then I need to just eat normal, work out and be normal me, and just dtd when I get a +opk and use some preseed and that's about it.

[Flava]

Go on the BD Lola!! Hope this is it for you!

Sorry Lola, I had my last in-office U/S last Friday and heard the heart beat. Next one not till Sept. 20th for the NT U/S then the "normal" U/S around 18 weeks. My dr. appts should be monthly now for a while.

Homeschool started last week but really not till this week since I am doing something very different for DD2 this year for her writing & spelling. It's brain integration therapy, right-brained teaching. Really neat but harder then I thought and I got a little discouraged last week. And we still were doing some summer outings last week. This week I've started working M,W, F w/ only 2 of their kids and till 2:45 instead of M, T till 5:00. their 2 oldest are in school as of today. I need to still figure out how DD's schooling is fitting into this new schedule. Oh well, yes busy, busy, busy. We get to go to our friends lake house and hit the boat so it s/b a great weekend.
If you don't get a BFP during that time frame will you still stay on the clomid but stop everything else?

So try this on for size. DH and I were getting down on the 19th. Since on not on a BC we have been using condoms until our attempt. This Asshole, decided to just go for it and he, well you know didn't pull out. I was so Fucking pissed. No warning at all. He said he just wanted to go for it. He doesn't care if it's a girl or a boy. OMG. I could kill him. The only thing that makes me feel good right now is, A. LMP was one the 12th, so I am due to ovulate this Thursday. SO I think i have may escaped his getting me pregnant...But you know never know. He could have slipped one by. and as we all learned back in 6th grade all unprotected sex leads to pregnancy. Oh man. Plus the wedding in 2 months. Oh well...whatever happens happens! right...It's gods way! SO what do you ladies think my chances are of actually getting pregnant 8 days after LMP?

[3Pink1Blue]

Flava- I agree, this thread used to fly and now we're crawling!

Alexis- ita w/Flava about feeling nothing. Both Babydes and I were sure af was coming, no symptoms at all! In fact i didn't have any symptoms till I was 6wks. Like Lola said don't give up hope, it's not over till the red b*itch arrives!

Lola- love your attitude! I think being busy is good, gives you less time to over-analyze and obsess. Fx this is your month but if not think long and hard before you drop the diet. You want to know you got another girl by chance not because you got impatient and gave up. Believe that's a regret that'll stick with you after all you've done.

Iluv- yay for u/s peekings and little heartbeats! Love the positivity about your edd, which is a great day ( it's my b-day )

Tink- odds are low but if you O early.....I wouldn't stress about it to much, nothing you can do about it now but threaten him, I'd tell him he pulls at crap again and he's cut off till the actual attempt lol

As for me I've got an appt on Wed where I'll be getting another quick u/s and hearing the heartbeat. Being 15wks 6 dys I asked dh if they offered to peek should I have them check the gender and write it down for us to look at together and he said no, he wants to wait for the big u/s which will be in 2-4 wks. It took so long to get to 13 wks but now time is flying!
