September TTC Boy Chit Chat and Such Thread

[begonia]

WP!!!! I can see that BFP!!!!!

YAY!!!!

I needed something to make me grin bc DD2 sobbed her little heart out at drop off. Aaaaaaaaaaargh. I held it together and smiled and told her I loved her and I'd be back soon, but as soon as I pulled away in the car I lost it. I promised DH I'd give it til Thanksgiving. My DD1 hated preschool at age 2 as well but loved it within 3 months so I am keeping my FX that DD1 loves it soon. If not I'll keep her home with me; she does great with babysitters so it's not like I can't get "time off" when I need it.

Heather I'm so glad your LO did well! We do a carpool lane too! There is parking and you have to walk in the under 2's, but 2 and over does carpool. I think it helps particularly with ones like my DD, b/c if I walked her in they would have literally had to peel her off of me and hold her back while I walked away ... this was MUCH easier for them to just unbuckle her out of her seat and cuddle her themselves. It's the sweetest school and I love it, I just hope she does too soon.

Hobber I forgot to comment, but I didn't bother with pH either. I just wasn't convinced it matters. But you have to do what YOU believe and if you want a high pH I think what seemed to work for more ladies was the BSD routine. I remember WLM drank hers not just AF-O but the whole month. She had a rockin' sway and did get a boy.

Had dinner last night with 3 of my friends, all of us have 2 of a kind, 2 of us have 2 girls, and 2 of us have 2 boys. Well one of my friends was talking about how she's SURE I'll have another girl because she "tried" with DS2 to get a girl (shettles book) and it didn't work, so she's convinced some people are just wired to get boys or get girls. I did not mention my sway nor do I plan to tell people even if it does "work" for us. Her comments didn't bother me but I can't wait to prove her wrong, LOL! And that is the ONE reason I wish I knew NOW what I'm having, so I could already be like, NOPE! Not true! Instead I have to wait til March. Boo for DH and his surprise!

But YAY YAY YAY for the BFP! Have you told DH yet??!? CONGRATS!!!!

OK off to volunteer at DD1's elementary school ... I am SO excited. This is my 1st time to be able to do that since DD2 hasn't had any school so I can't wait to get to meet some of her new little friends.

YAY! Congrats again, WP!!!! I love it!!!

Thanks for your kind words, everyone. Nothing I can do but keep going, eh?

Kris, if push comes to shove and IVF is our only option, I may do that!!!!

[3Pink1Blue]

Hobbermittens- it's subtle it's definitely a tiny kick! I did everything to raise my pH, drinks, eat certain foods avoid certain foods, everything. Highest I ever got it was 5.5/6, I said screw it and stopped checking, I truly think diet is way more important!

B3blue- there's always drama on dh's side, our house is peaceful and drama free that's all I care about lol

Jane- sorry about the tooth, ouch! Glad your next attempt is right around the corner and I'm lovin the positive attitude

Lola- you are always welcome. I say stay on the clomid and make another attempt, can't hurt right?

Wp- I SEE IT, I DEFINITELY SEE IT! Woohoo!

B- sorry your little one is having so much trouble, but yay for helping in class! I love going in and meeting all their friends. Uh oh 14 weeks and the surprise is already killing you? You are in for a very looong pregnancy lol

Not much to report here, nesting has kicked in full swing so I'm going with it in hopes my house is spotless by the time the 3rd trimester sloth kicks in, yeah right lol I figure if it can get things into good shape now I can cruise through winter with little effort and a lot of big girl help.

Begonia, I still cry when I drop my girls off at elementary school. That's why I make DH do it. I have a vivid imagination and am supremely attached to them....probably a product of the divorce and my hating when they are at their dad's. I hope your DD2 ends up acclimating soon! It's nice for them to start that socialization and separating from Mommy, plus, will give you some good time to rest! I hope your friend is wrong too!!!!!!

[begonia]

Awww, Lola, it's sweet that your DH drops them off though. He really sounds like a great guy so no wonder you two feel the need to have a baby together. ITA that it is good for them learning some separation and socialization ... DH is probably the one who pushes it more than me (weird, since it is me who is home with them) but I do think it has some great benefits for the kids.

3PNB I know, right?!?! I have a long way to go before I get to know! I am REALLY hoping I will see something on the u/s that will tell me Yay for nesting!!! It's a fun phase.

Seeing DD1 at school today was the BEST. She's loving it. I never thought she'd be so confident and comfortable in a new environment so quickly, so it is really fantastic for me to see her developing and maturing that way. In preschool if I came to a class party she would want to leave with me and not finish her day, but today, she just smiled and waved and intro'd her new buddies, then ran off to do her thing. Awesome!

AND you know what else is awesome?!?! WP's BFP! I want to hear what DH said!

Off to get DD2, hoping she had a great day in spite of the rough start....

[Flava]

3pink-that boy is kicking alright! So cute!

hobber- I always had trouble with pH back on IG . Now I have no clue what happened (must be the different diet ans such) but I tested today and pH is 7.3 ! I never had this before so Im happy for it. I also started drinking ural and acw this cycle. Oh and just test the ewcm pH because creamy is always low.
Oh and forgot to say I brush teeth with BS after toothpaste at night.
jane- sorry about the pain! XO

lola- I don't even know what to say this sucks! I still hope af don't show up.

[Flava]

Okay, I was feeling really crampy this am and I decided to temp before testing, temp was still way up and so I test.....



What do you guys think, did it show up in the pics (my monitor is crap and I can't tell? Still so faint.....

What is the most sensitive digi?

wow I was stalking your FF and did not see a + you have to put that in LOL
great news I can see that line for sure!!that's a BFP!

I just want to say you must be strong really because no way I could leave her like that for sure I take her home.Im just not strong like that.
And I carpool for little ones ? I never heard of it. We only have it in elementary here. Omg no way I can dry away and she is watching me crying!
I guess Im so lucky because DD3 just waked in and started playing that's it . If she would cry for me I take her home.I just can't do it

[WashingtonPromise]

Begonia: We go to a homechool co-op that gets together once a week for social skills and has some awesome classes that the kids love (like art and music, which I attempt, but don't have any natural skill). Anyway....we start Monday and DD4 is going to have some major seperation issues.....not looking forward to that, but it is only for 3 hours. Glad your DD1 is doing well, I am sure dd2 will follow.

Lola: If you go over seas for an IVF, would you please, plese sneak me in your suitcase ? I am only slightly over weight....I'll pay for the extra baggage fee

3pnb: Only 16 days!!!! Does that count today? Congrats on the nesting. I agree, get as much done as possible in the 1and2 tri. I always wait until the end to freeze meals, wash clothes, organize, etc.......big mistake. I think I have finally learned my lesson. I just can not help it, I always clean ligh fixtures when I am about 39 wks.

Thanks for all the congratulations!!!I am so glad you guys can see that line. I am still very nervous. I just hate that the line is so light. I won't be able to breathe a sign of relief until it gets darker.

I would love to tell Hubby with a digi test, we have never done one of those before. He called on his lunch break and I could barely keep it to myself. I figure that it will take a few days to get a + on one of those, right? At least he will be working, so I won't be too tempted to tell him.

[Flava]

Ok what to do?? In the last 3 months I had O on CD 13 the 17 then 14 .So I have no clue when I will O this month and so no clue when to DTD. Any ideas?? I will not do every day for sure and I was thinking on 2 try like O-2 and O day. (maybe 3 try but I don't want to do it to early before O)
Ok but when is my O day??
Im using CBEFM but the damn monitor don't give me peak days just high same with the smiley test to late for O-2.
And yeah I can look at the test strips when I take them out but really it's not much help .The lines are not showing up on it like on a opk strip.
Im just so lost here.
