September TTC Boy Chit Chat and Such Thread

Oh, and he's starting Naturally Smart vitamins tomorrow, they should arrive in the mail in the morning. Those suckers ain't cheap!

I was just so shocked, because at that level (below 2m), they send you straight to IVF/ICSI.....there is a ridiculously low rate of natural conception. People don't get pg two months in a row if they have a count that low. Or maybe I have super CM!

I thought that too when I looked at them, but if you add up all the other supps we have been feeding our DHs, it probably isn't that much worse, right?

For reals. I was thinking this weekend that a second SA seems like a reasonable investment of your $ and resources. How long did he abstain before he gave that sample? Because it really is crazy that if his count is TRULY that low that he's been pretty good with getting you pg before. It just doesn't make sense.

Kris, darling little bub! SO thrilled things look good!

Flava, thank heavens you'll still pop on if you don't get your BFP this month... I can't imagine you just leaving now, you're part of the GD crew! Not even just blue team, there are so many pink swayers on this site that I know would miss you too. It'd be so sad if you just left! I still miss MFC and was happy to see her pop on some with ELP's scan. Anyhow, I hope that whatever happens this month, BFP or BFN, you feel peace about it. The whole should-we-shouldn't-we TTC decision is such a hard one!

Tink, I'm a BIG believer in DTD more than 1x for TTC boy. I think 48 hours apart is ideal and if you will O 13/14, then yes, I'd BD tonight (CD11) and again on CD13. Didn't you and DH DTD only 1x for DD? I seem to remember that but could be thinking of someone else.

Jen I completely, 100% get how you both DO and DON'T want to know. Obviously ... if it's a boy ... you DO want to know! But if it's a girl ... well, maybe better off waiting til delivery. At least that is where I sit with it myself. FX this is the boy you've been hoping for!

Glad to see you Skrimpy!

WP I think you asked about Soy? I tried it once long ago, on a cycle we weren't TTC, just to see what it did to/for me. Nothing. Didn't change my O day (it can REALLY mess with your cycle) and didn't increase my CM. I know a girl on IG who had great success (delayed O, but LOADS of CM, and a boy conception) with it. I also know Alexis tried it here one cycle and gave mixed reviews; I think she had no noticeable change. And I'm pretty sure Atomic is not a fan of it for TTC boy.

I know I'm leaving people out and I'm sorry! I've been all over town the past 3 days trying to get house decisions made and it is taking every minute of my day, and just about all of my brain capacity, LOL ... I don't like decision making and I've had to make like, 347. Super fun stuff but still, it takes a lot of a pregnant woman's energy!

OH and I am finally getting an almost-pregnant looking belly! Still look just fat to strangers though, LOL! I'll try to post a pic in the next day or two.

[Flava]

hey girls thanks again you all so very nice!
WP- took lot's of soy isoflavonate when ttc #4 because the IG guru said so. No way I would do it again. Atomic say it may sway pink don't remember why...you should ask her.

[Flava]

begonia- you are just so sweet! XXX Im going to stalk here to see your baby pics!

[cemas]

Lola, have you thought about doing clomid with IUI. it cost mucchh less then ivf and the sperms are placed right in the uterus.
just a suggestion, i am sure you must have looked into it.

[TTC5]

Thank you, Skrimpy! He hasn't changed much....and has been on a bunch of good sperm supps for months now- like 6-12 months for most of them. That low level is labeled online as SEVERE, yet he has knocked me up before.....I will get the full report in the mail any day now, but the nurse did feel the need to call and tell me the count since it was so bad.

I am liking the idea of dtd tonight (CD10) and then waiting until O day (CD13) for the next one. That is a good 3 day supply and kinda along the old lines of thinking for upping sperm counts.

Also, we may do another SA at some point soon just to get a baseline.....could have been a fluke, could be he has an infection, who knows. The full report will tell more about that.

I'd def get a second test done!

Helloooooo ladies, It's been a while I really miss here, I'm back TTC (hopefully) in Oct'. I just took a break for a while. How are you all? I hope you are all doing well.

I have no idea what's going on here, but Congratulations to all those who got their BFP's and good luck on the 2ww girls!

Please wish me luck and send me good vibes ..becuz I am SO tired of my messy, crazy, LONG cycles. I'm now on Clomid!!!

[Tink18]

we dtd tonight! we will do it again in a couple days!
