September TTC Boy Chit Chat and Such Thread

[Hobbermittens]

Lola, your post made me so sad! I hate to see you feeling so down. I know you have been doing this a long time, and you have been through a lot. I can see that you feel fed up and exhausted. It must be really frustrating. Maybe stopping the supps and FF will help you, you know? Take off the pressure? SO many women get pregnant when they stop stressing about it... several people I know, who had tried for a long time and finally turned to adoption, then got pregnant when they WEREN'T trying!

You are such a great person; you deserve for this to work. Sending you huge (((HUGS))). I wish I could do more for you!

Oh, Lola. Your not a downer....TTC is a roller coaster and we are all here for you. I agree that FF can stress us out (I haven't temped in the past couple days) and all the supp can get so overwhelming. I agree go for it!!! If my friend can get PG at 42 (she only has 2 children and has a hard time conceiving at all) and she wasn't even taking any vitamins or supplements.....you can do it girl.....just go healthy and stress-free. On the TTC boy board on FF more than half of the girls told me they had been TTCing for too long and just cut everything out (maybe kept up with supp), but got pg right away AND got their boy. Our goal here is to have a healthy baby first and gender is just an experiment. This month I have tried my hardest to stay away from the charts on FF and my old pg charts....just try to stay involved with the things I enjoy and love in my life. What are your interests? Maybe you could learn a new skill that you could use once you are pg or have a new baby....like sewing or knitting. You will have another baby. Big hugs from us.....please stay around even if you are not swaying (unless you just need a break from us).

Take care.....go get a starbucks (decaf just incase )

Flava, don't take the FertileCM after O, and now Atomic is saying flaxseed oil is not good for ttc in general.

I will do so with the fertile cm .And I never take falxseed so that's good for me.
Sorry about the bfn but it still early and I see your temp looking good. MAy have been a ID on 9 dpo?

[Flava]

Daisy- Great news, congratulations!

Lola- SS about the BFN, fx for tomorrow!

WP- Good for you staying strong. I just ordered some more ICs so I know I'll be testing from 8dpo on...testing addict I am! I keep telling myself it's for science. Just to see how early you could catch it lol.

AFM: My temp is up and down so I'm thinking I'm safe. TCOYF just moved my cover up on my chart there and that makes more sense. I'll know with a couple more temps for sure and I went ahead and ordered some opks just in case. Oh and OT but we got renters with a 1 year lease for our house! I think they'll probably stay longer than that and that is just a huge weight off of our (especially Dh's) shoulders.

That is great new about the house! And I forget to say last time you guys look so nice together and the girls are just super cute!!!!

Hobber-the Rhogam shot is for my negative blood type. My husband is positive blood type. So if the baby has a + blood, my body will react and try to attack the baby with the different blood types. The Rhogam shot is given to the mother at 28weeks gestation, after delivery, after a mc, and after any time the mother bleeds during pregnancy. If not given, miscarriage is a definite possibility. The shot prevents my body from becoming sensitized and attacking the baby. I hope I'm giving a clear description of this lol.

Same here Im RH- and hate that damn shot ! It burns like hell!

I think this is excellent advice that piggy backs on what you said Lola ... that this past year has taken you away in some ways from who you really are since you've been all wrapped up in TTC. It's hard to take your mind off of it though, I know.

Keep at it girl. Like WP said ... you will have another baby. As long as you keep trying you WILL get there. It's just a matter of time and unfortunately it has taken much longer than you and DH thought it would Hope that you've found something enjoyable to do with the rest of your weekend.

Heather, congrats on finding renters!

Daisy I LOL about all you've been eating now! Here's hoping you have no nausea this time around (did you have it before?) and can keep enjoying food!

Flava how're you feeling?

Lola.....bigs hugs dear and i think u still got a few days. u never know
i hear u abt this never ending TTC.....and yet we don't want to give up. i think maybe a month off clomid might do the trick as u got quick pregnant the natural months. i heard a friend of mine have 2 m/c's and then a normal baby boy and she is 33. so the m/c does not means ur eggs are bad or anything. it was just not ur time then. its just that the union of sperm egg was not ideal and its a complex process so things go wrong with good eggs too. i tried to read some and talked to few people after mine and so thats what i think. i would say do the opks atleast so u don't miss the best times . the temps etc really don't matter. i have almost stopped temping after O as i get weird temps, as i sleep with an open mouth or my clothes or with the room door left closed/open. So i figured i can live without that tension and be more relaxed in the 2ww.

where did u read that atomic says no to flaxeed oil??? link? i was thinking of doing it in 2ww just for longer LP

OMG!! My arm hurt for 2 days!! Should have just made her stick me in my butt!! lol

[Alexis2007]

Lola-I'm so sorry you're feeling down. I understand about the diet. I feel the same way. Hugs to you girl!!

[b3blue]

Lola.

Of course I also feel like cussing bc I'm just so upset that this *might* not be your month ... I remember your 1st attempt back on IG and it just breaks my heart what this past year (and then some) has held for you on the TTC front.

I know your past BFPs came at 10dpo so this feels like a definite BFN, but we all know ... 10 dpo is still to early to call yourself out. So I'm going to hold a sliver of hope but I totally get why you're thinking of next month already.

I like the plan to drop the supps and go with a good ol' healthy diet, see what your doc says about clomid, and to go ahead with the SA. Y'all have talked about it for a while and if you're not going to pay for supps this month then the money can be used for that. I remember it isn't very expensive.

Ah Lola. Go ahead and vent away ... YOU aren't a bummer. This situation is a bummer. You are lovely.

You just word everything so well! I'm going to a do a serious "yeah that" Lola you are in my thoughts and WP's advice is great too about perhaps learning something new to take your mind off of things.


I'm so psyched to TTC I can't stand it. I've wanted this for months now and with DH finally on board (at least this week lol) and our financial stress eased we can really just go for it. Even if my test results come back unfavorable, I've already been through one pregnancy with lovenox shots and it's not that big a deal. DD1 has asked for a baby brother a few times lately and it just makes my heart melt. Hopefully though she won't mind another sister lol.
