September TTC Boy Chit Chat and Such Thread

[TTC5]

Just a quick pop in, I'm trying to keep busy today so I don't sit and obsess lol Anyway in contrast to B, here's my 20wk belly

Sooooo cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[skrimpy]

Aw, TTC5, hope your sis is ok, and Kris, your nephew.....I'm sorry to hear that!!! Hugs to you both, always hard to deal with family in the hospital.

Jane, I'd just go for it!

Tink, who knows with the cycles, best thing you can do is just track your O with the signs, ya know?

Dudes, I have been so busy it's crazy. I hate not having the brainpower to make lots of fun commentary, but I am reading through the posts at least! We ended up dtd last night at about 11pm. I just took another opk (1:30pm) and it is still positive, yet looking a little less dark than yesterday. I had some of the weird bloaty ovary pains this morning, so I am thinking I'm ovulating like, right now. We'll go for it again tonight. I hope one of those DAMN SPERMS made it up there last night!!!! I had one of those crazy moments right before we were about to do it where I got super hopeless and upset about the whole sperm thing, and could barely get it done. ARG! Not putting too much stock in getting pregnant, and I'd really like to not be fat anymore, too!!

Rooting for those swimmers (the blue ones in particular - move it boys!)

Thanks lola. I hope you are doing ok. I hope last night was it for you!!!!! FX~ TTC sorry about your sister.

I am having major O pains right now. SO I think we will dtd tonight. My Opk's have lines. They aren't faint but they aren't super strong. Last night I got crampy on the right side which is total signs of O for me...Aside from not getting a smiley I am still going to DTD I just want to be pregnant at this point!! Gender is slowly starting to not matter! Gotta get Keith suited up with a rockstar and icing his goodies! Wish us luck! I will take pics...haha JK

Wooo lots of swimmers on the move tonight! FX for Team Blue to take the win . Good luck Tink!

Go again Lola, definitely! C'mon sperm!!! It's nuts to me that 2million couldn't be enough. FX!

FX for you too, Tink and Jane!

Flava I get what you're saying about if only one more try, why try at all. That's tough! Maybe see how you feel if you get a BFN this time ... if you feel sad then maybe it is a good plan to give it another go?

And FX this &^%$ migraine leaves. I've never had one but it came on last night and is STILL wrecking me. And making me nauseated. Going to get DD from school and then lay on the couch for the rest of the day

I hope it goes for you B... Feeling bed is never fun ((hugs))

Such a cute belly. What time is your scan tomorrow?

[TTC5]

Ladies, have a question to ask but do not laugh ok!!!

So temping vaginally is meant to be most accurance, right? Here comes my question LOL - just how far do we insert the therm.? I have a BBT therm. with a nice soft bendy tip, do we just insert it like in the flaps a little LOL or do we need to actually insert it inside the vagina???....

Yes I know sounds like a silly Q !!!!!! :P

[Kris217]

Heavens TTC5, glad to hear sis seems to be doing better ... FX she is well soon; sounds as though you still have your concerns for her. Hugs!

Jane how frustrating! Did you DTD last night?! With 4 days abstain that would be just perfect timing it seems. I had a short surge the cycle I got pg. Only 1 +OPK (I do smileys too) at 2pm, and we DTD about 8 hours after I got it. I didn't test again that night but it was neg the next am.

WP I love camping and I'm so envious of your trip! We are going in November when it will hopefully have dropped into the 80's, LOL. I have still been exercising. I do light weights and mostly walking now, every now and then I might run a mile but for the most part I walk or do the elliptical machine. I ran through my other pregnancies (like up until 39 weeks!) but since I quit running to sway boy I just haven't felt like running this time! Exercise is totally my stress release though.

Jen this is like Christmas Eve!!!!

Lola what're the OPKs doing?

Kris I wouldn't be able to wait on Sarah either! Find out and don't tell her

Re: my boy diet weight gain (I did update my sway with this too) I did the boy diet 9 months. BUT ... when I was "girl" diet I was still eating 2500 calories a day at least, but loads of it, literally half of it, was sugar... candy, etc. And I ran 40-60 miles a week so I just burned everything off. When I started the boy diet I dropped the exercise to 10 miles a week, plus 3x a week weight training, and kept my intake around 2200-2500 but it was all good, nutrient rich foods. I gained about 5 lbs (I think due to the loss of so much cardio) and then the last 3-4 weeks before our attempt I really amped up my food intake to gain another 2. Since the BFP I've gained about 7lbs.

Well I was thinking I could find out the day before she leaves. That way I don't have to wait and she doesn't have to miss out on being there. I will be 15 weeks exactly on the 7th so would that be ok to get a definite answer you think?

Thanks Lola, he's in a better place now so we're hoping he gets the care he needs.

I used to put it a few inches in just do it slowly so you don't poke anything.
