September TTC Boy Chit Chat and Such Thread

[Flava]

WOW Alexis this is so cool!!! I did not get a +opk yet but have a very small temp drop today. I will test tonight again so we see if I get one. I feel like Im testing forever here! Look at my chart lol and because it's the monitor and the smiley test it's a lot's of $ ! but I just can't read the cheap test strips.

I looked back my charts and I get a + before O day and a peak on the monitor .

[Flava]

Lola- big hugs to you! I said this before but now I really really hope you get that bfp this next try!!! And DH test comes back ok!

[Flava]

Im also having small O pains for 3 days now. Dont know what kind of O is this but I sure hope it's comes tomorrow or latest after that.

I guess the BD on CD 11 don't even matter because it's at least 6 days before O or more. Right?

We do every other day so if cd11 is out the this will be second bd tonight.
IF I O tomorrow I would love to try again but I scared of low sperm count if we do only 24 hours apart. We need 24 right??

Ummm sorry if I post too much about my problems here! Im just so nervous and scared and would love to have some help.

Alexis, these past couple months i got a smiley only one time and no more. like +ve in morn and -ve in afternoon....or
+ve afternoon and -ve in eve....and i seem to O the next day of after that only.

Anyway, she didn't give me the whole "just stop trying and relax" bullcrap, but just said that you never know when it will happen, but if you give up, you have no chance. She made me feel better.

You know, I like her ... even if she did ask if you were pg, I forgive that bc she does make an excellent point. KUP on DH, poor fella ... and poor DD! Hope you all stay well and she feels better soon!

Flava you keep posting, whatever gets you through! It is super stressful to finally have an attempt after planning it for months, I know. FX you get your BFP this month with all you have going for you! I would say 24 hours apart is a minimum for waiting it out, yes ... my 2x were 24 hours apart... though ELP, didn't you do an am and pm bd? I think so. And I agree that the BD on CD11 is unlikely to be the swimmer that gets you pg! Just keep checking those OPK and keep us posted!

Yay for that OPK Alexis! I normally get 2 days but oddly enough the cycle I got pg was when I got only one ... +opk at 2pm and 6pm, -opk the next am. I'm pretty sure I o'd overnight.

Flava, how awesome that you will O during the full moon AND an Aries moon! Good luck tonight!

Lola, it is nice when people say things that are reassuring... especially when they have been through what you are going through. So don't give up hope! Oh and I hope your DD feels better soon, and keep us posted on the SA! Poor DH having to do his business with DD in the next room... that would be less than relaxing!

Alexis, good luck with your attempt!

Can someone tell me more about the moon? Is it boy territory from full moon on, or leading up to the full moon?

[Flava]

hobber- from the day before full moon till the day before new moon is boy friendly.

[LolaInLove]

Thanks, Hobber. I know, poor DH. He was not that excited about the SA in the first place. You know you can't use any lube to help out there....I can imagine it's not nearly as easy or fun to do it "dry," kwim!

About the moon, I think it is the whole phase, which started last night and lasts till the 26th. You know you are a huge nerd swayer when you have a moon phase app on your phone.

Well, It appears I will O next month in the Waxing moon (from new moon until full moon) which I think is a girl phase, right? So annoying. The only thing that makes me feel better is, I looked up when I conceived my son, and it was the same phase. Plus I *think* he was conceived in a pisces (female) moon as well (not totally sure, because I can't find my charts from that time).

There are too many factors!!!!!! Why can't we just take a magic pill and get the gender we want?!?!?!?

p.s. if I had a phone that had apps, I would totally get the moon one!!

[Tink18]

with all the moon talk..where can i figure out this stuff for me. Im do to O on the 23rd if all goes well. its game object! Im nervous and excited..hope it all goes well.
