September TTC Boy Chit Chat and Such Thread

[TTC5]

Thanks Lola on the RJBP info. but i don't remember if i read on IG to stop all and just to folic acid and fish oils after O.
Anyways, i tried thinking hard abt what made me go from high fertility to low. Earlier when not ttc we had to take extra care and still flipped once and now,nothing right on O.
So i am thinking the cutting out calcium as much as i know may be stopping me from getting pregnant. The time i had a m/c in jan i was taking prenatals that had a lil bit, but then i heard on IG that people were taking only folic tabs and so went searching for them and got some.
My next plan is to add a lil calcium thru the prenatal and stop worring about veggies and stuff having calcium. I will avoid milk though as it makes me acidic.Cheese once a week. Also the b-complex that i added this time after O seemes to have helped as i am 14dpo with no full AF. I have some pink since today so i will check tomorrow and then stop the promet. Usually even with the prometrium AF is here on 13dpo. So the additions are some calcium(not too much) and B-complex 50 mg with rest of the supps.
am planning amedicated cycle this month if possible.....
Wish me luck all....

Congrats Ruby,lucky u 1st try!

Hey ladies....the loss hit DH and I a little harder than I thought it would. We were only going to TTC threw August and then take a break until December, but it looks like we are going to just keep going until we get a sticky bean. This TTC journey is what it is....

Oh, and we are going to be camping when on CD 14-17....Uhhhh.

Sorry to be so crabby, I will be back when this stupid AF goes away.

I was wondering if that's why you were quiet ... big ol' hugs and FX for a sticky blue bean soon, WP. FWIW there was a gal in our group on IG who got pg with her baby boy while camping Ah, the great outdoors!

Man, I will tell you all, my life just got 10 times busier than it used to be. I am afraid I'm too stressed and overworked to conceive now. We are up at 6am, kids to school, DH is teaching in the morning early, then going to rehearsal, then I pick the kids up, go back to work, work till 6pm, run home and make dinner while DH gets ready to go to class (he's finishing some prerequisites to apply for physical therapy school). We've been doing this for a few weeks now, and it is a life of total insanity. I won't get a break until late March when the season's over. Do you guys think this is bad? Have any of you been working your ass off when you conceived? I am kinda worried about it lately.....

Goodness, superwoman ... that is a lot. I was super swamped with work though when we got pg with DD1 (who was unplanned) ... I worked about 80 hours a week, including Saturdays, and traveled at least 2 nights a week. It was typically for me to be up at 4:30 am and work til midnight. Not fun, but like many things you weirdly adjust.

All that to say it is certainly possible to get pg and sustain it while going nonstop. Remember all that you're doing to keep your body healthy with the diet and the supps, try as much as possible to get your 8 hours, and find something that you can do to relax a few minutes a day ... even if it is just taking the time listen to ONE song and visualize getting pg, you know??

This WILL happen. For you and Cemas (and our girl ZB) ... if only we knew WHEN that would make it easier, right?!?

Cemas ITA with Lola. Get on a healthy diet. I don't think avoiding ca/mg is going to help anyone get pg, with a boy or a girl. I'm glad you're going to give it a shot with increasing your ca, I really think it will be great. Are you going to take a prenatal again? I took one preTTC and feel confident that they are good for blue.

Flava sticky, lucky, BLUE dust for you tonight (umm, I'll borrow some blue dust from my friend with 3 boys, we played with her today so surely some is here with me )... after all the planning your timing is really spot on! So go get DH tonight And then you can take a much needed BD break, LOL!!

[TTC5]

This is interesting! How did you get this job? Do you sell cute baby clothes? lol hope we all need some soon!

I started the business myself do you have Facebook?

I also got 4 msu m/c on the damn IG diet! May be for this...who knows!

Could be lack of calcium could be detrimental to a growing embie/fetus!

Lola- my sil conceived my nephew Xmas Eve and she's one of those "we have to do everything fun even if it puts us in a coma" kind of people. If you believe anything on IG they say stress sways boy.

Flava- woohoo for extra cm!!


Thanks ladies. I don't want to leave, and would stalk you all anyway if I did, but after my loss and the time is took for me to get a bfp I know how hard it can be watching someone get what you want. I would hate to think I caused anyone pain. Glad you all want me to keep posting not just lurk

All that being said I'm going to whine a bit. My fingers are so swollen I had to take my wedding ring off, I LOVE my ring and hate wearing a plain band in it's place but don't want to risk having it cut off. Never swelled before, not reading into it
