TTC GIRL- MAY 2012

[HopeandDreamG]

Amari- hi! Love Vegas. I did grad school San Diego went to Vegas all the time. Don't even gamble just loved hanging by the pool with the water sprayers! And the shopping is great going out to dinners too! Now I'm down for dinners and a good show. Back in the day it would have been a club . No more! How ya feeling?

I am so sad today. I thought I would TTC in May (ovulating around May 10-13), but now after reading and learning more about the moon phase and it's effect on the babies gender, I am totally bummed. I feel like I have the diet and everything else on my side except the moon sign and moon phase. am I really crazy? why am I suddenly wanting to back out?? ..I just really left everything up to god, but at the same time I will be crushed if this is another boy..

Wishing, that is something we can TOTALLY not control!! I was so worried about this too, but in looking at my chart, I am near a full moon cycle all the way until NOVEMBER so it's not like I can do anything about it! And I would rather risk the full moon cycle than a fall month for sure, since both of my boys were conceived in fall months. I ended up putting up blackout curtains all around my room and that made me feel a little better From what I've read, the moon cycles sway very little, much less so than diet/sperm count anyway. Don't worry about it

Moon shmoone. Do not back out for moon sign garbage. If it's another reason then that's another story.

Suregena- that's great news! Means attempts are coming!! Yay I pray mine is not delayed bc of chemical. I bled so much I don't know if that will effect it being on time.

I am so lazy today and can't get off the site! Lol. I've been crazy busy recently and today was the first day I've done nothing and I've literally done nothing except post and shop on line for a mothers day gift I want!!! My fun is over soon as I go in my office shortly!

thank you ladies, your response makes me feel better. I don't know why I am so down all of a sudden. I have been wanting TTC for 3 months now, and it feels like every month there was an obstacle or DH was not wanting to try. after finally convincing him to try and following him around the house for 2 wks with LR and a glass of water to make sure he took (is refuses to take any of the other supps) and abstaining 9 days, I feel like I should rethink everything over and that really, this is probably a sign that I shouldn't go for it b/c DH isn't really too happy and that I might end up w/ another boy that I might have severe GD.. I am so sorry ladies, I don't know what has come over me. I will stop here and just don't wnat to ruin anyone's day.

Why do you think you'll end up with another boy? Are you happy with your sway (except for the moon, in which case, DON'T WORRY! )? Is it just DH? Do you think it will also be like this next month? My DH was a total sweetie at the beginning, but he's really starting to get tired of it all TBH... I think, especially since you have gotten him to follow along and you are ready to go - you should go for it! I know it is really hard to jump in... the diet seems so easy when you finally reach the finish line and you are faced with actually TTC! There are so many ways to second-guess and worry... and of course, swaying isn't 100% but if you feel like you have done the best sway you can... know that this month might be it, and you just might end up with your long-awaited DD! You certainly don't have to worry about ruining anyone's day, we are all in it together and we all understand!

Wishing – I hope you start to feel better soon sweets. Follow your heart and do what is right for you and your family. If you find you are stressing about moon and phases etc you may be raising you T Levels. You should try when it feels right and you are happy with everything.
I have been up and down with ttc for over a year and worried about the same kind of things, the Chinese chart, moon etc as well as everything else, my kids ages etc, now I have got to the stage it feels right, I am happy to ttc and am honestly happy with either gender. Ultimately I would LOVE to have a sweet baby girl but if it’s a wee boy then I am truly ok with that too, I just want to be pregnant and have another baby! NOW…. 6 months ago was a different story, If I had gotten pregnant and it was in the wrong moon sign or whatever and it turned out to be a little boy, my mindset would be so different, I would have had sever GD, regretted trying when I did and have so many regrets about everything! So I waited and now I have got to this point. I am not telling you what you should or shouldn’t do, just letting you know my own personal experience. Do what is right for you and your family and if that means waiting until you are 100% happy with your sway, then wait. Whatever you decide please remember that WE are all here to support you on whatever journey you decide to go on, we will listen when you need to vent, cry, want advice ANYTHING! So please do not feel like you are bringing any one down, We all go through similar emotions and some people out there do not understand…BUT WE ALL DO! So sending you big hugs chick, hope you smile soon xox

Lassie – I have NEVER charted in my life, do not understand it and way to complicated for me! Had a look into it a few years ago after 10 mins I threw it away and never looked again! I have ordered some OPKs which should be here today so hopefully that will give me some indication! We done FR 9 times (with condom) then have had unprotected sex (so I am actually calling them attempts) for the last 3 nights, shallow release, have waited 2 mins then got up and used a lime tampon. Had hummed and ahead about using one but decided to go for it as I usually produce a lot of CM, the antihistamines are drying me up but some is still there, also using KY with each attempt, will have another attempt tonight  and one each day until I get a fade in on my OPK. So tell me, should I have my last attempt On my Fade in? leave it? So basically will be DTD every night until I get my positive opk, question is do I try after the positive line?? Thoughts please?

Anyway hope everyone else is well

Thanx Ribbon, I know swaying isn't 100% and all..but I am giving it my best. DH is really supportive, but just thinks it's too soon for a 3rd child!?...he think's he'll be tied down like he was w/ the last 2..he was really involved..feeding, changing, etc etc...and financially he thinks it's tough..but I think we'll be able to handle a 3rd child and it's best to have em close in age and whle we are still bit young (i'm 30, he's 37). if we don't try this month (who knows if I will even get a BFP first time, right?)..he will not try a diet or pills...i'm on my own...which I don't mind. I just have lost too much weight already and if I get a BFN, then i'd wait another month to gain weight, then try again.....so all this stress is really not helping my sway is it? lol...I will just go for it and see what happens. ..Thanks so much for your support! and I really hope you get your BFP this month!

Wishing I would say go for it! I tried march and April but when it actually. And to dtd my dh was actually asking what I was doing during because I was literally pulling away from him because I was so afraid to get pregnant!!! Wtf?!? All this work and the I was chickening out at the last second?!? So I thought maybe I didn't really want this, but whEn that bfn came I realized how dissaponted I was and now would have to keep going where I could have it done already lol! So for you to go to all this effort and not try... In my experience, you'll be kicking yourself after! It is scary swaying for sure though!!
