August Thread for TTC Blue - Chit Chat!

[iluvmyman]

Hey Ladies I'm Back from the big bachelorette weekend! It was a ton of fun but I am soo glad it's here and gone. Now I just have to concentrate on the wedding in Oct. I think my life will finally so down since I don't have so many things to plan. Anyway. I ended up getting a smiley on CD14. SO I am hoping that I am in the clear from DH's little episode! If not, it's just meant to be and ill be thrilled!

How is everyone?

I'm OK but would rather be in bed today. I'm glad you had a great time w/ your friends! Enjoy drinking and wild abandon while you can.

Oh yeah, had my DD2's big IEP on Friday. We had her do a bunch of different testing. She is continuing w/ speech + once per month social interaction group to work on some social skills and will also be starting 45 min once a week of OT for writing. They can't diagnose ADHD through the school but the psychologist is sending us back to Kaiser (they said she didn't have it already) or a physclogist to have her re-evaluated. Fun times!

TTC5, what is it that your daughter has and what does that mean for her if she does?

Flava- glad your feeling better but sorry dd is still under the weather. I can't believe your attempt is so close, so exciting! I've never dreamt about any of my kids before they were born, in fact I'm rarely even pregnant in my dreams lol

Tink- glad your weekend went well and omg the wedding and your attempt are sooo close!!

B- ooh the prizes you could get...

Iluv- glad you've been sharing the news, its so great to be surrounded by others excitement when you're a bit scared. Screw dh move on in to those comfy pants lol I've been in mine for far longer then I'm willing to admit

Thanks ladies! The us ticker is purely self indulgent lol Some days I check in just to see my preg ticker and now I can be reminded how soon we find out too

[iluvmyman]

3PNB, I think the U/S ticker is awesome and I might use one too. Indulge yourself!

[Tink18]

The wedding and the attempt are so close...Let's just see if I can keep DH on track. Last night when I got home his kind loving words for my girls weekend were " Did you have fun whoring it up one last time before I get you pregnant..Unless My shenanigans worked the other day, Do you think I got you?" He is so crazy, but so funny..makes me laugh so hard. So we shall see...either way it's all so close!!!!!

[Flava]

Never mind ladies. I have af here so it's CD 1 for me.
iluv -dont ask DH what to put on! I'm right there with you i have 3 shirt!!

[LolaInLove]

Begonia, thanks for the optimism! I sure hope you are right and this is my month. I am SICKKKKKKK of ttc and super sick of this diet and I honestly don't have much more in me.....maybe I can just start ttc with no swaying, but I am just SO OVER being 35lbs heavier than normal and having no clothes that fit and ya know, stuffing my tomato-hole all damn day long. Anywhooooo....rant over. Thank you for your support!

Iluv, I hear you about the unexcited parents.....mine are kinda like that also. I guess they are tired of hearing me announce I'm pg and then lose it. The thrill is wearing off. My sister is ttc right now also, and she told me to not tell them that she is, and that she won't even tell them she's pg until after 20 weeks if she does get pg! I guess she's seen too many losses and doesn't even feel like invoking the parental pity at this point. Anyway, all that matters is that YOU and the fam are excited....I know it's nice to have others care, but in reality, sometimes they just don't. Man, I wish you could get that carrier back, that sucks! I'm sure you've thought of this, but can you call the police dept and make a request? At least to get the thing examined and photographed or whatever before you have this new baby? I hope you are doing ok, thinking about ya.

Tink, what's up, girl? So not feeling like your oops came to fruition? Glad you had a good bachelorette weekend! You are attempting in another two months, right? I was just griping on the 2ww thread that I got invited to a dancer's bachelorette this Friday night, and I'll be 8dpo, so won't know if I should have a cocktail or not....PLUS I'll be the sad old fat lady there watching the 20-somethings whoop it up and guzzle alcohol....I may give it a go except that I am sort of the boss and they do like me enough to invite me....I'm normally fun at events like that with a few glasses of red in me, LOL. Well, I'm excited for your ttcing anyway, I am sure you will have a funny attempt story!!!

Flava, sorry bout AF.....you are trying in a couple of weeks, right?

[Hobbermittens]

Lola, I think you can have a glass of wine! I know plenty of people who had a small glass of wine occasionally during pregnancy. No one had any issues with their babies. But don't do anything you aren't comfortable with!

I hope you get a BFP s you can stop TTC. You have been doing this a LONG time!

[SweetLily]

Lola, I had some with ds3--I had an irritable uterus and contracted for 6 months, and another preggy mommy suggested. it worked like a charm and stopped contractions dead for a whole 24 hours each time--sweet relief!

that said, I heard if you are implanting it can effect the baby and wreck implant so unless you have had a nice ID, I thinki would skip it.

Lola, have you had a bunch of mcs? I am on #5 now--can't seem to hold a bean to save my life. waiting for it to pass and feeling awful. Please let me know if thats the case--I am surious what your drs are doing. after 4 kids myself you;d think i'd be fine. I am turning 35 in 2 weeks so my dr said to start taking 5 mg of folic. not sure if thats the recurrent mcs or the age factor, but she said to...

hugs... ps, I also emailed you today so go check!

[Kris217]

Flava definitely don't count CD til full flow no matter what color the spotting, and if your full flow starts late night, count the next day as CD1. FX your O lines up nicely with the full moon!!! Sorry about the frustrating dreams where you're not having the baby... I keep wanting to dream about this baby but don't ...

WP I was the EXACT same with DD2; kept dreaming she was a boy, in spite of the u/s, and was therefore kind of thinking that maybe, just maybe, the u/s was wrong. It wasn't, LOL! WHOO HOO for mad amounts of ewcm! Fantastic about the temps too!

Any symptoms Lola or are you trying to avoid obsessing? I am SO believing this is your month. I get that it's easier to be optimistic for others. So I'm just going to be super optimistic for you; this is IT. I can't wait to see that BFP this time next week! You and ZB both!!! How great would that be?!?!

Jen what a great pic and ticker! Aaarrgh it is so close! I can't believe it! My DH is sure we're having girl #3 but so I told him we could have a bet, and I'll take boy. I have to come up with something good to get when I win, LOL!

Jane when is your next attempt, do you know yet?

Kris I'm also one that had no tearing. You have to do what is best for you. Is the Maxalon still keeping your nausea at bay? Hope so!

Thanks Begonia, most days the Maxalon is working and I hope it keeps up because the Zofran is $100 for 10 pills!
