September TTC Boy Chit Chat and Such Thread

[3Pink1Blue]

Hobbermittens- omg your last cycle before your attempt!! Fx!

Flava- omg you're so close too!!

Daisy- I'm sure everything is just fine, kup!

Wp- testing tomorrow, so excited!!

Lola- how is it the few days I've been distracted you've had a complete crisis of sway/bfp faith? Everyone has pretty much covered it all but I will say I know it's been a long hard road and I'm sorry you're having such a tough time but you're not out yet! Fx for a bfp but if not I'll be eagerly awaiting the results of the sa. Big big hug hun, you are crazy tough, you'll be ok.


Sorry I've been absent, nesting has kicked in and we had to go to my fil's birthday brunch. I'll spare you the family bullsh*t and pass on the fun stuff. Jon felt his first kick last night! It was little but it was definitely a little thump. He loves the movement, it's like it's his first chance to bond. When the movement gets super crazy in the 3rd tri he will spend hours watching and touching the belly. The kids can't wait till they can feel it too. Anyway I've been cleaning like a mad woman and am completely pooped so I'm off to bed.

3PNB! How exciting that the baby is kicking hard enough for others to feel! Your girls will love feeling the baby move. Baby kicks are the best part of being pregnant!

Has anyone had trouble raising their pH? I am freaking out. I just checked mine and it was 4! Last time I checked it was close to 7, so I have NO IDEA what I am doing wrong??

3PNB- Aww that's really sweet he felt a kick! SS about the family dramaz.

Hobber- Can't help as I'm not bothering with pH! The strips I have are awful I think so I just said to heck with it lol.

Hi all,just a quick update.just had a tooth extracted so in a bit of pain!awaiting my 1st af since my chemical,then it's onto our attempt.hope af comes tomorrow then at least I know my cycles are still on schedule,then again what you want and what you get are not always the same when swaying hey!

[LolaInLove]

3PNB, that is so exciting! I am sorry you had some family crap, too. Always fun. Thanks for the encouragement, you are so sweet! I just hate this because I can't figure out how to fix it. I think we'll do the SA on Friday morning, so results take a few days. I can't decide if I want to stay on the Clomid or not in the meantime.

Hobbs, I don't do ph anymore either, but I do remember a lot of IG gals having trouble raising theirs also....I bet you remember that too. I'd say don't worry about it if it stresses you out. Ph isn't a big deal anymore, right? And about the day you O....it's all a crapshoot when you're swaying. That's my opinion, at least. Just start testing earlier next month and you'll be fine!

Jane, sorry about your tooth! I hope you feel better soon! I think my AF will come tomorrow also so we'll be on the same track next month.

My temp dropped and I got another bfn, it's 13dpo, so I'm out. I had cramps last night also. On to next month.....

[Hobbermittens]

Lola, sorry about the BFN. I was still hoping you'd get a late BFP. Do you have to bring in a sample from DH on Friday? Hope they have answers soon!

Jane, hope you are feeling okay after your tooth extraction! Sounds painful.

WP--have you tested yet today???

[begonia]

On to next month, Lola ... at least NOW you're really in prime TTC boy time right,?!?! We have to rejoice in the little positives sometimes. Let us know what you decide on Clomid. I think you're on round 2? I'd give it 3 before I chuck it for no reason other than 3 times seems to be a reasonable amount of time to give something a shot in my head!

WP and Hobber I'm super impressed y'all built your own! We have a GC who has a team of subs, LOL. DH and I haven't done a thing other than drive the architect crazy when we were planning it ... and of course picking out things now. And that's mostly me. DH will just get to live in my house

SO excited for you to test WP!

Ouch Jane! Sorry to hear the tooth thing!

Hobber mine moved from 14 to 13 the cycle we conceived ... I wanted 0-2 and 0 but got 0-1 and 0. Tis what tis at this point!

Jen the kicks are so fun for DH's! Glad yours have started!! 16 days, YAY!

Ok have to run ... DD2's 1st day of preschool. My heart is hurting a little bit and I'm not sure I want to even do it but we'll give it a whirl ....

[WashingtonPromise]

Okay, I was feeling really crampy this am and I decided to temp before testing, temp was still way up and so I test.....



What do you guys think, did it show up in the pics (my monitor is crap and I can't tell? Still so faint.....

What is the most sensitive digi?

[b3blue]

Begonia- We had our first day of preschool today too! She went there in the summer though as a practice run so while she did not want to get out of bed this morning (that starts at 3?! lol) she went in there happily. This is the first time I didn't walk her into the building, the teachers meet us at the car since there's little parking. She was totally confused poor thing but it was ok.

Lola- Gah, ss mama Here's hoping there's a slew of bfps in October (yours and mine included!).

Jane- SS about the tooth! I just made an appointment for a cleaning and after that will be the big wisdom teeth extraction. Soooo not looking forward to that. I have no idea how I'm going to manage the kidlets with DH working 24-7. But I have to do it before I get pg.

WP- Hoping for good news with your test!

ETA: Ah we posted at the same time, BFP mama!! Clearblue Easy digis are the best imo. The FRER ones are less sensitive.

[WashingtonPromise]

Okay I have a minute before round 2 of school.....


Lola: ....I can not believe your BFN. Like Begonia said (she has such a way with words) at least it will be prime boy time. I wish I had some advice, I think destressing will do the most good. I knwo soooo many people that got pg while on a break or after giving up, keep you chin up. So, are you going to travel abroad to visit Kris and get and IVF?!?! Oh, you guys are in SC, right?

3pnb:Thanks for posting....not too long until you u/s!!! I love the baby flutters and then full on boat rockers.

Hobber: I have been drinking lemon water for months and months, it seemed to do a lot of good for me, but like Lola said.....it might not be too important. Tons of people have low phs and lots of boys.

Begonia: GL on the first day of preschool. Trust me, at the time I wish we had a builder.....way too much stress!!!

I know I missed someone.....

I am trying not to get too excited, it is so faint. I guess I normally test after I miss AF. I am not going to add the + test to FF until I have missed my period, another way I am trying to protect myself I guess. I have had a little bit of gagging while changing DD4 diaper the past couple days and my cottage cheese didn't taste normal yesterday (I even got the kids to test it). I really thought AF was coming early after the cramps this morning....but nothing.
