August Thread for TTC Blue - Chit Chat!

[begonia]

DD3 had first day of school yesterday! She like it so Im happy! Good that this school has cameras so i came home log on and watch her on my laptop. Right now she is sitting by the table making some art.
Not so easy at home with DD4 she miss everyone and just hanging on me till we go pick up DD3.

Ok finally I got DH to talk what to do next month TBM or just DTD or both or WTH because he was not talking about it. And he said to DTD ...huh yeah ok Im scared but that's what we gonna do.
He also said he is horny must be that blue pill I give him all the time.( the ubiquinol coq10 ) I was like yessss it's working
So I hope sperm count is sky high next month !

LOL! Your DH is ready!!! So funny! I like Lola's quote ... CONQUER! CREATE BOY! You can do it!

I bet DD4 does miss the big girls! So sweet that you can check in on DD3; I'm glad she had a great 1st day!

Lola DD came home yesterday and let me know she wants a Tiger backpack, because no one else has one, and Tigers are her favorite animal because they are ferocious and like steak It took me like an hour online to find a tiger pack that didn't have some kind of college or pro-team associated with it ... I will say, the internet is great for making your kids dreams come true Sounds like your doc has really been thorough with your options which is nice. I still can't imagine that there's really a big issue; I think you've had some CRAP luck, but it just feels like it's going to happen for you naturally.. 35 isn't prime fertility by any means but it isn't like you've just got nothin' left in there, and you've obviously had 2 healthy ladies so your eggs aren't just incapable. This will happen, like you told Flava, think CONQUER! Definitely getting out the pom-poms for this month Hmmm, that could be a fun way to spice things up

WP thanks for the encouragement love! What did you decide to do on the supps?

4Blue are you going to change anything up this month or keep your sway the same?

Alexis did you test?

Ladies it is just crazy to me but I have lost every bit of caring about the gender lately. I was shopping for a friend's baby yesterday and got so sad thinking I might not get to buy baby girl clothes again. I'm glad I swayed but I really will be so thrilled with another little lady and I just can't wait to get to meet this little person!

So I tested this morning at 8dpo...and I swear I can see the faintest of faint lines!! I used a Wondfo. Hoping it's not an evap and it will be darker tomorrow morning!

My temp shot way up this morning. Hoping that's a good sign too.

[Flava]

begonia-good job finding a steak eating tiger backpack!

oh I had to find this mouse from "if you give a mouse a cookie" book and in a read pants! The school has one they got it from Kols with the book but Kols don't have it anymore. So i got 1 online today. Now she go looking outside every 5 min. for it. lol

Alexis!!!I told you your temps looks so good I hope it's not a trick!
Can you post a pick from the test? We got eagle eyes here!lol

[Alexis2007]

Flava I can try but I doubt you'll see anything. I even inverted it and can't see anything. Ugh!! Give me a few minutes to figure out how to post a pic on here lol.

[Alexis2007]

I really hope this will be a real BFP in a couple of days! It's probably nothing though

[Flava]

A line is a line! And that's a LINE right there!!!!I can see it on BOTH pics!!Wow Alexis you must test tomorrow again!

[Alexis2007]

Can you really Flava?! I can barely tell in these pics. It's there IRL though! I will definitely test again in the morning. I think I'll limit my water intake tonight to make sure my urine is as concentrated as it can be! lol

Hobbs, I didn't make DH get the SA yet. My doc has told me that since he's gotten me pg 3 times already, odds are that his swimmers work. I think if we have another 2 months of bfns, I may ask him to go ahead and do it. Thing is, I pump him full of all of the supps they give to low count and motility patients anyway, and if there is something wrong, we can't afford to do IVF anyway, so it's natural or nothing for us. I guess we could do IUI, but clearly his swimmers can swim, they've done it before. The one thing my doc said is that *sometimes* when the man has a "balanced translocation" where his chromosomes have an extra arm, although it doesn't affect him, it makes it hard to near impossible for his chomosomes to mix and make a good baby. She said he's need to do a DNA karotype ($800 out of pocket) to find out, and if that's the case anyway, we'd have to do IVF with PGD anyway. If that is the case, then we are shit out of luck. But on YOUR DH, I wouldn't worry too much, if he is taking a bunch of supps and eating well, that's good! I kwym about the extracurricular. I guess if he won't quit, you just can't worry about it too much and hopefully the supps are helping cancel that out!

I guess I see the logic in your Dr.'s plan. Hopefully you won't have to worry about doing anything high tech. I have my fingers crossed for a BFP for you, Lola!! It WILL happen!!!

[WashingtonPromise]

Alexis: I have a crappy computer monitor, so I hope some more ladies chime in. Can't wait to hear about tomorrow's test!!!

Lola: We were on vaca when conceiving DS1 and eating a lot more than normal....lots of seafood. DS2 I had put on some extra weight, because of my m/cs. But, with both I was eating more meat than when conceiving all my DDs. I meant to tell you.... I had 2 miscarriages inbetween my DSs and they also found nothing wrong. I then suffered 1 more m/c after DD2 and none since. I only had to have a d&c with the 3rd (after 3 wks of waiting), the rest took care of themselves naturally. I know you had you girls with differeny swimmers, but things happen. There is no reason sometimes. Have you been feeling hungry? I have been eating less and I guys my body is getting upset. I am trying to stay level at least until AF shows (if she does). I have trained my body to expect more food....we need a hungry over-weight smilie for the TTC boy side.

Begonia: Too cute that DD wants her own unique backpack. Glad you are excited about meet you little one, too. Babies are so lovable and like you said, I love buying girlie things. Oh, the only thing I took away this cycle is the green tea...still doing gelatin, just not as much. And I added a bunch of new supp.

I was looking at my normal vitamins that I get from Lucky Vitamin. They have a lot of the same things I am taking already, but in smaller doses. Except more B12 and B6. I am not taking them now, but planned on switching after a BFP or maybe when I run out of all my bottles.....who knows....just a thought.

Still have EW, look like it may be turning....it has some creamy and watery mixed in. Hope my temp jumps tomorrow.
