September TTC Boy Chit Chat and Such Thread

[TTC5]

I want to make TWO attempts O-2 and on O, but I have no idea when I will ovulate, messy cycle plus I'm on clmoid this cycle, but usually CD19-20 And I get three days of + OPKs...WHat should I do? I'm very confused ..Any advice please? I think I just have to wait and see.

So hard when you have an unpredictable O hey! I would go for CD 19 and CD 17...

Do you usually have CM? What day is that highest? I would plan on maybe 12 hours after your first and third +OPK, and on CD 19 definitely. It's harder to plan timing with a messy cycle!

Skrimpy thanks again for your posts re: finding out; I really do think I need peace, and just knowing will give me peace. Tonight tucking my girls in I felt incredibly good about potentially tucking in a 3rd girl. And I'm going to bring some sweet baby pics of each of them with me that morning, so that if I open that envelope and need reassurance all I'll have to do is see their darling baby faces to remember EXACTLY why I wanted another baby in the 1st place. Because I adore them to BITS! Re: DH, if he knew I knew, he'd want to know. The fact is if I told him how it's driving me nuts he'd say great, let's just find out. But I don't want him to sacrifice his one shot at something that he's always wanted just for me. He totally would though. But that's also why I'm not telling a soul IRL, because I don't want anyone to know before he does. Other than me obviously ... and all of you

Oh I think the picture idea is wonderful!! It is so true that it's the babies that are sweet and lovely - regardless of their gender.

I'm so excited for you to find out and glad to know you'll have that peace of mind. What time did you set the scan for?

OH MONDAY!! Good luck hun ..I have a good feeling that you're having a boy ..I don't know why, but I really do. I hope I'm right.

Awww, thank you MFC! I hope you're right too! I'm central time US so will probably post around lunchtime. The great thing is we have a nice full weekend, and my appt is right after I take DD2 to preschool on Monday so it'll be here before I know it!

MFC the wonky cycles make timing so hard!!! Mine weren't super crazy, but my O did move around between 13 and 14 regularly, and the cycle I attempted OF COURSE ended up being 13 when I planned my timing around it being 14. So I ended up with an 0-1 and an 0. With 3 days of OPK's though that helps! I read somewhere that usually means you O the day of the last OPK, so I would say DTD the 1st day you get an OPK, and the day of your last one.

I think it may be more inclined to sway pink than blue. In the past I have been on the pill and had girls, and my sister did the same, so did my Mum lol..

Me too! One DD while on BCP's, one DD the cycle directly after coming off of them. It might be coincidence but it is enough that I didn't want to chance it either.

ITA! This is what I think I was trying to say but it seems much more clear from Skrimpy

Hey Ladies catching up a bit.

I just noticed I was so excited I said It's boy instead of it's A boy lol Here's the story and few things I left out over the last few days. I had completely convinced myself I'd hear girl, I had no hope I'd ever hear boy so I was anxious all morning knowing as soon as I went to the u/s even the slightest hope was gone and I'd be left with the reality of 4 girls and I was pretty ok with that actually. Well we went to the midwife appt where my mw kept referring to the baby as he. From there we went over to the mall for some lunch and a trip to Build-A-Bear before my mom took the kids. Well right when my mom was rounding up the girls to take dd1 to choir dd1 had a change of heart and said she wanted to come. Well since my mom was there we all headed back over to the hospital where we got a tiny room, we wedged ourselves in and waited for the show to begin. The u/s tech asked right off if we wanted to know and we said yes. She started to measure and then tried to get a peek, no luck. Measure, try to get a peek, measure, try to get a peek, measure try to get a peek. It went on for a while, I thought I would have a heart attack. Finally the little goober gave her a good view, she looked at me and I said "it's a boy?!" and she said yes. I started to cry for a second, the only thing I could say was "I didn't get fat for no reason" my mom busted up laughing. I looked at the screen and she was measuring again, I whipped out my phone and sent a quick text, an e-mail to princessap and posted here. Yes that's right I posted while still on the table I asked her about the size of the baby since I'd measured a bit big, she showed me the estimations and he's dead on to my O date. Dr came in and by now he was all for showing himself off, every time they tried to look at the legs boom penis, show us feet boom penis. He was determined to let us know he was most definitely a HE. On the other hand he (man I love saying that ) was not willing to give us a decent profile, the dr and the tech tried repeatedly and we got the one face shot I posted but not a full body shot. We went to Kohl's and we bought a few outfits based on fact not hope, I can't tell you how amazing it was to buy things for our actual son! The girls were now running around looking at everything blue and cute, they have luckily warmed up super fast. Jon flew in from Texas that morning so it was now 4ish and he'd been up since 2, after only a few hours sleep he was as happy as he could muster. Everyone is going over to my in-laws today so we can tell them all at once without having to assemble them ourselves. I can't wait to see the looks on their faces in that evil way lol

B- I totally get your feelings on finding out. I had gd something awful after dd3, I really think swaying gives you an "at least I tried" feeling. I honestly don't think men analyze like we do, they just don't sit there wondering if everything means something. So excited you're finding out MONDAY!!! Ah my chance to stalk you!!

TTC5- I gave up temping, way to frustrating. Boo for YI, nasty little bastards!

Flava - actually he's looking down, which explains the abuse to my hipbones and cervix lol

Iluv - I'm no good at guesses but that is a great looking baby ya got there! So glad it's doing well!

[Flava]

I think this 1st pic looks a little scary. The 2nd looks like a hand is reaching out to touch him, spooky.

I think that's the nub on the first pic? You should post it on the u/s thread. Very cute baby!!

[Flava]

jen - can't wait for the BIL story LOL

So nice that your DD1 was there too! what about baby names?

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend!
