TTC GIRL- MAY 2012

[mydream]

Welcome Heavenlee...

My attempts are all in for this month.
Met with RE today to discuss MTHFR...I am now taking baby asprin daily and a prescription strength folic acid with B vitamins. I will see a hematologist to discuss possible lovenox injections for pregnancy. I think my brain is just exhausted these days...think I am gonna go and try to take a nap. DH is home early and with the kids.

URGENT URGENT HELP NEEDED!!!!!!!!! So lastnight was suppose to be our first attempmt, got home a little later, had dinner and put kids to bed. DP worked late anyway he came home, i said i was going to bed, he was having a shower and followed. By the time he got to bed, i was out to it, nothing could wake me! So we didnt have any sex at all yesterday, i woke up thru the night and thought that ok i can do it this morning, WE BOTH SLEPT IN! when he woke up he jumped out of bed so damn quick i got a fright, he had 5 mins to get to work before the inspectors arrived so attempt 2 didnt get done either! waiting on my OPKs, Damn courier company sent them to wrong town, so will be getting them in a couple of hours time. I am meant to be ovulatin either tomorrow or monday, heres hoping it decideds to be late! TELL ME WHAT TO DO! I gonna have to FR DP today then make sure he has a hot bath tonight and jump him when he gets out! (he does not really know we are trying!) He does not believe in swaying, and he doesnt want to "try" and make one as he thinks when focused on making a baby its like sex becomes a job and not an intimate experience iykwim? So he said, when im ready for it to go for it but he doesnt want to know coz it will stress him out! (i am sure he has figured it out but not said anything)
Any way, tell me what i should do today, help help help!

Kiesse, first of all - relax! It's ok, stressing out isn't gonna help you at all. It sounds like you still have time Do you have any other signs of O? Increased CM etc? What time does DP get home? And if he has already figured it out (it's kind of hard to hide this stuff sometimes!) the fact that he isn't saying anything and is still going along with it means he is being cooperative, YKWIM? I think you should be just fine, just go for it like you said tonight! Good Luck!

Ribbons - Oh, got it. I never really noticed that with my OPK's. I always just threw them away. LOL! I'll check mine's out to see if I get that fade-in.

mydream - thank you! I know what you mean about being exhausted! I haven't been on the diet very long but I think it's the diet that is making me feel so tired these days.

Atomic says benadryl is safe to use with zyrtek if you have a lot of cm. good luck!!!!!!!

Hmm... if I were to conceive this cycle, if I ovulate at a "normal" part of my cycle, then the baby's due date will still be close to my son's birthday! Oh well. I don't know if I want to put it off... I'm just going to go with it. Definitely AF is coming... so that puts my cycle back down to about a 30 day cycle, after all the wonky business. Going to start back up on Vitex tonight and hubby is starting Licorice root... but I think he's only going to take it 1 x a day because I want a good shot getting pregnant. Is there any point in doing that? Should we just stick with two/three times a day?

My plan:

I've not been on the diet long enough to make a big dent in my weight, but I am either maintaining or losing (depending on the day... but that's what I get for daily-morning weigh-ins!) so I hope that doesn't have a negative impact. But it's bound to be better for conceiving a baby than my jump down to 103lbs last time. I've gained all my weight back so it's been harder this time. But hovering around 1,200 cal, 15-30+ fat (really depends on the day!), and about 30-40 grams protein.

I'm on vitex AF - O

I'll take Cetirizine.

Frequent release... though unsure when we should start doing that!

Husband taking licorice root. Once a day? Or should we just stick with 3x? Want the "benefit" of it but don't want to make it too difficult to get pregnant.

Multiple attempts in the fertile window.

He'll take hot baths, too.

He's actually gained weight (he was complaining the other day!) since our son was conceived, and when he said it I sort of noticed it (he's still a healthy weight, but he does have the warm-cuddly dad vibe now! Soft around the edges! Heh) after he said it, so that should be good, eh?!

I've got OPKs but not enough to get real-real crazy... so I have to plan wisely. I've got a box of regular kinds and a box of digitals. *shrugs*

I've got NO pregnancy tests! So I can't obsess with testing until I'm ready to.

If I get pregnant this cycle, I wouldn't be surprised if it were a boy. I've just done so poorly this time around, but hey... at least my cycle is back to normal, I guess. Ho hum! I've not even had any peppermint tea or anything. Ugh. So, so slack. I might make up some strong iced peppermint teas to drink at work all day starting on Tuesday until ovulation, not that it's going to do much.

O on Clomid is just painful! I feel like my insides are coming out! Having a retroverted uterus sucks!!!!

[amari]

I can't wait for AF either so funny isnt it. And I just got back from buying slim fitting jeans and I gotta say I look fab! LOL, was thinking what am I buying these for? I just cant stand walking and my pants are literally falling off! Hopefully I'll b preggo, but I will get back in them ASAP!!

Hah! Enjoy! Of course I am happy being prego but miss my skinny jeans! I've gained sooo much weight already, (I needed too). You don't have long to wear them!

[amari]

KD-I'm glad you got a bunch of attempts in and with preseed too!

[Kiesse]
