TTC BOY November Chit Chat Thread - All welcome!!

[Bumblebee]

Lola- I would try to do it O-1 and O but I never know when is O! Sometimes I get O 2 days after the first +opk other times 1 day after .
At first I wanted O-2 and O but O-2 did not worked out last month so Im thinking O-1 would be better.
I guess we all have this problems now.

Hi ladies I just been reading about timing and ovulation, and I am so confused about when to do the dtd in december. I got a significant positive today and was saying to my hubby ooh I'm going to ovulate finally and hes like ok lets go make a baby, and I'm like nooo not yet next month!! lol
what is the overall recommended way to BD when you think you're about to ovulate? once 2 days before or or once 2 days in a row? I'm confused.....

Thanks, Flava. I'm REALLY hoping we get a lucky miracle natural pregnancy, you have no idea how much I hope this happens. Thinking about financing IVF just makes me freak out. Infertility is really a huge giant nightmare. I hope everyone here, despite wanting a boy so badly, realizes that being able to have a baby at all is such an incredible blessing. On the other infertility site I'm on now, you can't even mention a pregnancy, m/c, or child without a bold disclaimer ahead of your comment. It is really heartbreaking. And I am actually one of the luckier ones. There are so many women there who have DH's with ZERO sperm, and they have to do these super complicated IVFs where they surgically extract one from the testes, and lots of them just use donor sperm. They have been ttc for 5 years, stuff like that. There are a lot of DHs on there also. Anyway, just a shot of perspective for us all. (:

But we are just going with the flow right now. I'm trying to gather research about IVF, etc, and just starting the process rolling with gaining info. We haven't even had RE appts yet or anything, but I feel like it's best to keep the faith and keep trying and also start thinking about alternative options. I just don't know how we'll pay for it, but I have to keep the faith about that one also. God willing, we'll find a way.

Flava, don't YOU give up, though. Dreams mean nothing....there is no reason to think you can't conceive a boy at all!!!!

Lola, have to share this with you!!! A friend of ours and her man have been having unprotected sex for 18 months now. They knew he was deemed infertile as he was a prem baby and it damaged his sperm. They have been saving for ivf and guess what they have just found out they are 12 weeks pregnant!!!!!

Totally off subject, but since you mentioned gold coast, if I ever get to Oz, I want to check out this cool Tiger Land place (?) that is in gold coast....ever heard of it?

The one in Dreamland do you mean?

Bec and TTC5, don't worry about the ovulating too much, it will come, and just dtd when you get it! Even if your DH has a 3-4 day abstinence, you will be sitting pretty with sperm count. Just so you guys know, now that I'm in crappy sperm count land, I've found out that they advise for best counts for a 3-5 day abstinence, at least for best samples and for IVF. So, if you are keen on wanting to have a big sperm count, you COULD just stop releasing now and just wait till you get the +opk. Just an idea.

MFC, when are you going to the doc?

I might do this then! DH released last night and I am CD14 this morning. He said last night TMI *during oral lol* that I tasted very watery and flavourless LMAO so am guessing it is coming soon!!??? Anyway haha, last cycle I O'd CD19 so that is 5 days away... maybe we should hold dh off till then?!

Otherwise we will have to BD again in 48 hours and then there will be 3 days till O. Saying that we don't know for sure when we will O so am thinking it is good to stop now incase it comes earlier ...

OMG how cute of your hubby, I would have jumped him then and there LOL

I would go once two days in a row

Lola- they also said on IG 3-6 day abstinence 4 would be the best. So I was thinking actually to do 4 days but we want to DTD twice so Im not sure how to do this??

What is that anyone else does?? I was thinking 4 day wait for DH and the DTD and again 1 or 2 days later on O day...but it's so hard to know when is O! And I don't even O on the same day every cycle ...also not sure what is better DTD 24hrs after the first or 48? Do the first BD 2 days before O or 1?
Or maybe just do it once?
I have no clue how I gonna do this again...

I had a problem like this with our attempt. I had DH abstain for 4 days, but on the day that I should have seen the +opk, I saw nothing, so I had to make a decision to either have DH release, or to go ahead and DTD. We DTD, and I got a +opk 2 days later, and we DTD again that day as well as the day after. If I had to do it over, I think I would have done it differently. But unless you O the same day every cycle, it is impossible to plan!! If I had it to do over, I think I would have DTD the day of the +opk as well as the next day.

It's actually me that initiates it I haven't really told him about the timing/abstinence thing. So he just thinks I am keen (which I am anyway!) for it. I like it that way because it keeps the pressure off him, kwim? And it makes it more enjoyable for us both if he thinks its all just for fun.

Thats what I am doing aswell

I hope everyone here, despite wanting a boy so badly, realizes that being able to have a baby at all is such an incredible blessing.

I have never taken my fertility for granted. Over the years I've gotten some negative comments about how unlucky I am cause I DTD once and fall pregnant and I always say no way I am not unlucky. I am very lucky, some people can not have children.

[TTC5]

You are very lucky to fall that quickly!

iluv~ Glad to hear that your thyroid is under control ..OMG I'm so worried now. Tomorrow I will call the Dr. office again I can't stand to wait another week to find out, is killing me I just want to know ASAP!

Congrats on your baby nephew!

TTC5 - This is my sister's 2nd. She also has 3 year old daughter. This is her last child so we are excited she was blessed with a boy and a girl.

MFC - Everything seems like it's a wait, huh!? Remember the days of being a child. Ahhhhh! GL!
