August Thread for TTC Blue - Chit Chat!

[Tink18]

I O'd early last month too for the for time on da 12.. sorry it was early morning on the 20th. I am really not too worried about it. But it's so weird that my stomach feels all crampy today. I'm sure it's me over reacting. And just wanting everything to work out perfectly then he does this!!!

Hi Iluv!!! Good to see you Glad to hear you got to see the heartbeat last week and have your NT scheduled. And the timing on the baby's due date is just precious, I love coinciding events like that. I had DD2 on a date when, as a child, someone precious to me died, and it just made me feel a peace to think they are in some way connected. You're a mom IMO for the homeschooling and working; the new approach for DD2 sounds great.

Tink so long as you don't O early you are *probably* Ok. I know OOB (pink swayer) got pg from BD about 7 days before O though, and then DoulaMama had her O come WAY early one cycle and ended up pg too. Bottom line ... IMO if this is your time, it'll happen ... FX you get to keep it on YOUR schedule though. Odds are DEFINITELY very much in favor of not getting pg that far before O so don't stress too much.

3PNB your DH is smart to wait it out! I have a friend who was told girl at 16wks but lo and behold ALL BOY at 20. You're so close though, I can't believe it! We'll know SOON if your DD is right again

4blue I can't recall why abx sway but I think it is a pH thing? Either way, sorry your AF is on the way. FX for September!

Lola nice work showing DH the research on smoking! I'm sure that was a wake up for him. Here's to you getting pg this month girl. I'd love love love to see you with a BFP

Skrimpy glad the AF seems to be sorting itself out, and glad I could provide some comfort re: Honor's nursing pattern. As long as she's growing you know she's doing well

WP, too funny re: the eggs! We never even considered using them. My DH wasn't down with swaying in the 1st place so no way on this green earth would he have touched me with egg white in my lady business, LOL! CD13, you're getting soooo close!

Alexis FX! Don't count yourself out yet!

AFM DD1 started kindy today! She did GREAT at drop off and I can't wait to go get her and hear all about it. A good friend of mine was a lunch/playground monitor today and called me as soon as lunch was over to tell me DD was having a blast She's my sweetheart and it just makes me so, so happy to know she's doing well.

Have my NT scan Thursday morning... nervous as all get out and just praying I can be three times lucky in the healthy baby department Either way I know this baby is meant for our family and it'll all be for good, but obviously we hope for everything to look perfect.

Flava! Just realized my novel left you out ... girl you know I'll be here in a month!!! No worries, I am sure you will have LOADS of support for your upcoming attempt. I was out a lot this weekend but during the week I am on here at LEAST once a day to post and frequently read on my phone, so I promise to do all I can to help you out when you get nervous or have questions. I want so badly for you to get that blue BFP girl!!! You're so close!

I think your OK Tink. No worries and you probably wouldn't feel anything this early anyway. Husbands can be such pains but he sounds like a fun guy too. Good to hear from you Tink.

Thanks ladies about the due date. I wanted to get pregnant so the next child will be due around his b-day but this is nice too. Some reference makes me feel better.

Thanks B! Super Mom I am not, but thanks for the support. Thanks for the hug too, I could always use more. Sending kids to school is so bittersweet. I'm so glad she's having a blast and mommy feels better now too.

NT U/S on thurs. Yay! I will be praying for you and sure hope all is well with the new one. I never knew before to be nervous at those U/S but I'm sure it will be fine.

I miss the ignorance I had when pg with DD1 ... now I know so many friends whose kids have fairly substantial health issues (including one whose son was born with DS that was NOT picked up in any of the screens) that I don't take anything for granted. I know odds are heavily in favor of all being a-ok with #3 but it sure will feel better to see it. Thanks so much for the prayers

Off to go get DD! I am going to be the first mama there. DH took the afternoon off so we're going to get snowcones and the rest of her school supplies together. She didn't want to get a backpack before school b/c she wanted to make sure she got one NO ONE else in her class has, LOL!

I've been doing so much research on what to eat and what supps to take and holistic approaches to pregnancy and health. I know more now then w/ DS2 and I knew a lot w/ him. Although, I knew nothing with my 1st 3 and had no problems so maybe it better not to know. I'm waiting for my krill oil to come in so I can get on that ASAP. All these supps, grass fed meat, free range eggs, organic fruits and veggies are so crazy expensive but trying to balance and give the best to my growing baby and my others too. Balance is hard to find sometimes. Pregnancy is more expensive then swaying.

iluv: HI!!! I don't know how you do it. Homeschool and work outside the home!!! You are super woman. Congrats on the heartbeat...what a sweet sound.

Begonia: I am sure you guys are enjoying the awesome snowcones in this hot weather. My DH would never go for EW either, obviously that is why I didn't tell him about it earlier. I hope you get a cute pic on Thursday, we need something to feed off of.

Lola: I didn't drink any green tea this month. I figure, I keep adding something new every cycle....why not take something away? Plus, it may have pushed back my Oing. I also haven't eaten as much gelatin this month. Who knows if it will do any good, but might as well try.

Flava: We will still be here next month, don't worry.


We normally BD every other day, but I was think maybe we might try tonight, too. I just would like to BD on O day, too. Do you guys think we should just wait until tomorrow....cd14?

[Alexis2007]

WP-Go for it!!

Lola-I'll probably start testing tomorrow lol. Maybe I should wait till 10dpo?

[Tink18]

Well, I have been having Cramping since this morning. So I just peed on one of my Ovulation Sticks. Today is CD11. And I am fading in. Last month I got my smiley right around noon on CD12. So if I follow what happened last month I will most likely get a smiley tomorrow. I am almost tempted to see if I get a smiley today. But the cramping has only been since today and I usually only get the smiley the next day... Since we did the on the 20th that was 3 days ago...4 would be my day of 0. What is your opinion. I'm pregnant with a Girl. lol. hahah. Either way..I would be THRILLED!!!! SO weird for the past 3 month I got a positive on CD14 and then last month CD12...and now a potential CD12 again..and my Dear sweet husband pulled this stunt. Well I was along for the ride..It is was it is. I didn't see it happening this way..If it happens this way.

Alexis: 8 dpo is super early. Have you ever got a positive that early before?
