September TTC Boy Chit Chat and Such Thread

[Hobbermittens]

WP! I see a faint line! I think that's a BFP!! CONGRATS!

Begonia and b3blue--hope the first day of preschool went well!

Begonia, I think you are doing the building thing right, having someone else do it! It was such a huge stress on my relationship with DH (everything is fine now)... we fought so much during that time! Plus, some of the stuff still isn't finished, 4 years later (the kid's closets have no doors, etc). You know the saying about how the cobbler's children have no shoes...

I have been trying to get my pH up! Drinking more BSD today, and I even tried the COT drink. But it gave me the sh!ts.

Oh Lola, honey, I am sorry. I was really thinking this would be your month. I think you have a great attitude and a great plan going forward though.

My nurse called me this morning (after saying Friday that my numbers were fine) and my doctor wants to do an u/s on the 14th when I go for my first appt. I will only be about 6 weeks. Can they even see anything then? I didn't have an u/s with DD until 10 weeks. I've never had a vaginal u/s and I'm really nervous about it. I asked if the doctor thought something was wrong and the nurse was like, no we just want to do the u/s to see what's up. So now I'm going to be a nervous wreck until then. I swear, I kind of think that God/fate/the universe/whatever you believe in makes getting pregnant while swaying and swaying pregnancies more difficult sometimes so that we will appreciate what we have. I know now I'm just hoping this baby is healthy, regardless of gender. Though I'm already thinking it must be a boy because it is being so much trouble! My girl was no trouble whatsoever until the very end when I had pre-eclampsia. And this one is worrying me to death from the start!

My Dr. had me go in every week for a couple of weeks to check on everything. They might just be able to see a black circle which would be the sac and they'll test your HCG levels again. The vaginal u/s is just like a penis really that they put into you vagina. It's no big deal. Your Dr. is just being cautious like mine was since my past history. I think it's a real blessing. They won't really measure till about the 9 week appt where you can hear the heartbeat.

I had them every week and now just want to go in again and see the baby. Its like a let down not seeing and hearing the heartbeat. I'm not that hungry lately and just want some re-assurance.

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.....

I was really hoping this was your month Lola! AUGH!!!!!! I'm glad you have a plan in mind but I wish I could do something to help. SUCK!

[b3blue]

I just want to say you must be strong really because no way I could leave her like that for sure I take her home.Im just not strong like that.
And I carpool for little ones ? I never heard of it. We only have it in elementary here. Omg no way I can dry away and she is watching me crying!
I guess Im so lucky because DD3 just waked in and started playing that's it . If she would cry for me I take her home.I just can't do it

When I took her in the summer I walked her in and the first day they literally had to peel her off of me. I found out she cried off and on for the entire time. The teacher was awesome and took her into the gym for one on one time to calm down. Then when everyone went outside she did fine so they didn't call me. I picked her up and she was crying again! Two days later she only cried a little. They made her the class helper which I think really did the trick. Two weeks later she was screaming in the car "I love school!! I miss Ms Angela!" and her teachers are telling me how great she does. It was definitely killer leaving her there but I just knew it was for her own good so we both had to push through it and the results have been amazing. Of course if she didn't change so fast I would have pulled her out asap.

Hugs about the opks, are you saying the strips don't work for you? Wondfos have been wonderful for me and so cheap.

Begonia: We go to a homechool co-op that gets together once a week for social skills and has some awesome classes that the kids love (like art and music, which I attempt, but don't have any natural skill). Anyway....we start Monday and DD4 is going to have some major seperation issues.....not looking forward to that, but it is only for 3 hours. Glad your DD1 is doing well, I am sure dd2 will follow.

Lola: If you go over seas for an IVF, would you please, plese sneak me in your suitcase ? I am only slightly over weight....I'll pay for the extra baggage fee

3pnb: Only 16 days!!!! Does that count today? Congrats on the nesting. I agree, get as much done as possible in the 1and2 tri. I always wait until the end to freeze meals, wash clothes, organize, etc.......big mistake. I think I have finally learned my lesson. I just can not help it, I always clean ligh fixtures when I am about 39 wks.

Thanks for all the congratulations!!!I am so glad you guys can see that line. I am still very nervous. I just hate that the line is so light. I won't be able to breathe a sign of relief until it gets darker.

I would love to tell Hubby with a digi test, we have never done one of those before. He called on his lunch break and I could barely keep it to myself. I figure that it will take a few days to get a + on one of those, right? At least he will be working, so I won't be too tempted to tell him.

I think you could be safe using a digi tomorrow or next day! Your line looks great really. Congratulations!

Hobbermittens- it's subtle it's definitely a tiny kick! I did everything to raise my pH, drinks, eat certain foods avoid certain foods, everything. Highest I ever got it was 5.5/6, I said screw it and stopped checking, I truly think diet is way more important!

B3blue- there's always drama on dh's side, our house is peaceful and drama free that's all I care about lol

Jane- sorry about the tooth, ouch! Glad your next attempt is right around the corner and I'm lovin the positive attitude

Lola- you are always welcome. I say stay on the clomid and make another attempt, can't hurt right?

Wp- I SEE IT, I DEFINITELY SEE IT! Woohoo!

B- sorry your little one is having so much trouble, but yay for helping in class! I love going in and meeting all their friends. Uh oh 14 weeks and the surprise is already killing you? You are in for a very looong pregnancy lol

Not much to report here, nesting has kicked in full swing so I'm going with it in hopes my house is spotless by the time the 3rd trimester sloth kicks in, yeah right lol I figure if it can get things into good shape now I can cruise through winter with little effort and a lot of big girl help.

i stopped testing my ph when my meter broke and i never replaced it.

nesting for me really kicks in during the 3rd trimester

Flava - how about DTD every other day starting at CD11 or CD13. I don't think timing is that important especially if you've been doing the other sway (diet & Blood sugar) and that's hard if it's bouncing around like that.

[Tink18]

Hi ladies. Still no af but still crampy. Not. Sure what is up...

[Flava]

3blue-I don't use strips just like that. I have a CBEFM so i use the CB strips with it.You can take it out after the monitor read it but it's not the same like the regular strips. And I use the smiley test too also digital so I can look at that too after it's done reading but I have no clue about the lines.

I had O before on cd 13 so maybe I have to start on cd 11....but also had O on cd 17 and I just don't want to dtd way before O thinking it's more for ttc girl? Oh I have no clue anymore!
