January 2012 Chit Chat Thread for TTC Boy

[Hobbermittens]

I think I need to be doing something different than the IG diet I had been doing before this chemical pregnancy. I had been so off the diet during Christmas when I knew I was preggo that this is stressing me out right now. I think I'm on cd7 if you count the day I started spotting from the chemical and if my cycle isn't wacko this month. So, if what I understand is correct, just eat very healthy, full of vitamins food and avoid all artificial? I apologize if this is somewhere else on a different board, I'm just confused what to do this next go around. Maybe the lack of key vitamins played a role in the chemical?!?

Have you seen the threads about the HE diet?

That is what many of us are doing. Always eat protein + carbs together, and eat large meals plus 2-3 snacks a day. Always have breakfast (eat within 30 minutes of waking up) and a bedtime snack.

Cinss--have you tested today??

Bec, how about you--is it test day yet?

Skrimpy, what happened?? DId you O?

TTC5, I hope that all the BDing you are doing will get you pregnant! FX for you! I am glad you got hopeful news from your doctor.

Lola, that sucks about your ex. I hate when lousy people get things they don't really deserve, and good people like you are struggling!

LBAM, did you DTD last night? I would tonight if you haven't yet, and then every other day through O. That's what we are doing this cycle.

So it is CD9... I think we are doing our first attempt tonight, but maybe tomorrow am. I can't decide. I usually O on CD13 or 14 (occasionally 15) and I was planning on DTD every other day. So either tonight, and do CD9, CD11, CD13 (and CD15 if necessary); OR tomorrow am so it would be CD10 am, CD12pm, CD14am. What do you all think?? I don't have any EW yet, but things are getting wetter down there, so I wonder if waiting until tomorrow would be better? I just haven't gotten pregnant from the last two cycles of only DTD 2x. so I want to add at least one more BD.

I also can't decide what to do about using eggwhites or preseed!! I feel like whichever I chose will be the wrong choice!!

Hobbers, you could also do the SMEP/Deanna's plan if you just want to get pg....but I think dtd every other day, even if starting now or tomorrow is also good. Even if you O on the "off" day, you will have dtd right before and after too. I really don't think the SMEP (sperm meets egg plan) is bad for a boy sway either. I asked my gf last night what they did to conceive their son, and she told me they dtd every day once they got a +opk for like 4 days. She's a ballerina and a super picky eater, so she is totally not on any sort of boy-friendly diet, either. BUT-she is healthy, and she said they used preseed. Interesting, no? Either way, Hobbs, good luck!!!

POP, that is completely horrific....I am so sorry you had to experience that! I had a bad 8wk u/s also where there was nothing in my sac, but that pales in comparison to your experience. I am so sorry......here's to us having GOOD 8wk scans someday in the very near future (*holding up my V8 to you*).

Skrimpy, thanks for the sympathy. It does suck. People keep reminding me that I should not be jealous and we'll have one of our own soon, so I need to just try to have a more zen attitude about it and just keep myself focuses on our future success. Other shit thing- they named her almost the exact name I'd name a new daughter (which I only care about because they would be my girl's little sisters.....awkward). My DH says it doesn't matter, because we're not going to have a daughter. Got my FX that you are just having a scare....you are a great cheerleader! And I hear you about moving and whatnot....would be nice to get that out of the way and let Honor get a bit older. I hear ya.

Cinss, excited for your poasing tomorrow morning!!!! BIG FX!

By the way, I looked up the "new arrivals" of the hospital here and saw a pic of my ex's new daughter.....and my office poll is she's so not cute AT ALL. Many of them thought she looked like a boy. LOL!!!!

LOL..Love it!! He can have an ugly baby girl...you're gonna get a cute little boy!!

[skrimpy]

LOL Lola poor little gal though, not her fault has a jerk for a dad! I really do think you guys will get pg, and listen to your DH about you getting a little blue bundle. My DH seems to have a 6th sense about that sort of thing!

Hobber I think I would go for DTD on CD 11 & 13 personally. For our blue sway I O'd on CD 12 and we BD'd that day (were too busy moving on CD 10, plus my EWCM hadn't reached peak). But I would feel comfy BD'ing on any day I had EWCM. I personally would lean towards the Preseed, but the thought of egg whites is kinda icky to me... . If you have copious EWCM maybe you could skip lube unless you need the ph help?

AFM - well I don't think I O'd... No temp jump at all. The monitor gave a High, but I knew it would do that since it gives Peak, Peak, High regardless... Looking at the stick though (I know you're not supposed to but I do), it's back to a totally "Low" look with NO Lh line even detectable. I am thinking my body tried to O but the breastfeeding hormones just suppressed it maybe? I will def be on the lookout for a period and I'm still going to watch my temps to see if something shifts, but I really don't think it's going to. I think if I was going to O it would have happened by now since I got the first peak reading two mornings ago. Still keeping FX!

LOL Lola hehehe!

Cinss, tested yet?

[TTC5]

OMG my hubby makes me laugh, he sure does keep my spirits high in desperate times!
So we have been bd'ing every 48 hours for the last few days (around O) anyway... he is trying to lose this weight that he gained from swaying the past 12 months. He has been weighing daily and weighed this morning pre sex and then again after sex and comes running to me "Babe!! I dropped 400gms.. I deposited 400gms of sperm in you!!!" LMFAO he was so proud... if only it really was that much I'd be sure to catch the egg then HAHAHAHA

That's hilarious! I hope he did give you that much of a deposit!

[Cinss]

Thank you ALL for the good lucks... BFN this morning waaaaaa, no evap... nothing!!! AF still not showing her ugly head. I am thinking i still have a teeny tiny chance of being pregnant, it is just so hard not knowing. Guess ill wait another 2 days to test again.
