♥ JULY 2011 TTC Boy Chit Chat Thread ♥

[LolaInLove]

I think I'm out ladies. AF is due tomorrow and got a BFN today along with my temps dropping Just ready for this next cycle and trying to get my cm worked out to boy friendly. Didn't get the gorgeous ewcm this time. Could it have been the soy? I was really hoping I could take it to get twins.

Sorry again, hun!!! I would drop the soy, I bet that was it. I'm wary of soy....Cemas tried it and had a long cycle, if I can remember correctly. Many take it for the twin factor, but I don't think it helps fertility much.

Hey lady, thanks for asking! I did lose some weight, not sure how much, but I feel better. DH and I started yoga again, doing 2x a week, and I can already see some muscle coming back. Not to mention, I told my yoga instructor that we are having issues ttc and she said yoga is excellent for that, gets the blood pumping in your pelvis and all over. I do remember being super fertile and had girls when doing a lot of yoga back in the day. We are now on diet again, and I think I may start some acv and such soon. UGHHHHHHHHH but not much else. We will likely do some boy stuff when we dtd (preseed, position, etc) but I am just so worn out with ttc and m/c stuff that I am not as in to it as I wish I was.

I just held my friend's 2 month old baby boy for an hour up in my office while she took ballet class and I thought I would be DYING over it, but right now, I just feel whatever. Clearly I am being self-protective here, telling myself I don't really care if I have a baby or not, subconsciously.

Anyway, I hope you are right, Babydes, and the luck keeps rolling. Blue crew had a big dry spell there!!!! I am SO glad you are doing well and baby is plugging right along!

Great stuff, you will get preggers hon so dont think otherwise. Well I'm crushed, just had Alestis look at my 7wk scan & she's predicted GIRL for me...

Hi Aleaxis,
how much soy did ya take and what days?
i took 160 mg day3-7 and it delayed my O to cd50. on the brighter side i had loads of ewcm and also got a bfp which unfortunately resulted in a m/c.....I do have long cycles to begin with....so soy is risky business....so dropped it...

this cycle i am not seeing any ewcm...let alone any mucus for that sake.....am on cd 17 already and no +ves....
wonder when i will O... i usually get good cm....what is drying me up...no hange in supps
does anyone know how to shorten cycles or get an early O....my cycles range around 40-42 days.....

Kris - What a great friend! And how fun if the kids had the same dad! Lmao at the thought of Sarah with the light and speculum.

Layla - I hear ya on the birthday thing, I'm not real thrilled about this baby coming 3 wks before dd1's birthday. If I hadn't gotten the bfp we were going to skip a few months to avoid other birthdays.

Lola - Congrats on getting back to the yoga. I'm sure there was a bit of self protection going on while baby cuddling but fear not hun, you'll get your baby

Baby - don't give up hope yet, what's that guess based on?

My bff is due in a few days and has asked me to join them in the delivery room. I'll be there basically to keep her dh from freaking out, run interference between them and family and take lots of pics. My sister did the same thing for me and it was amazing, we got to focus on the task at hand without any distractions. Glad to be doing this pregnant, a few months ago I don't think I could have handled it. Doesn't hurt that they are having a girl either lol

Well I got my Smiley face on CD14(Sunday) so That is month 2 of O'ing on CD14. I was a little nervous, I had all the proper symtoms but my fade in was just really light then it was from the month before. But it all worked out. I got my smiley at 12:30PM! I am so excited! Just have to get throught next month then I start the diet and we finally get to TTC!! I am so excited!!!

Hope everyone had a great weekend. We got a new puppy! We named her Kylee! She is cute!

[Alexis2007]

Cemas-I took 120mg cd3-7. It didn't mess up my cycle. Actually O'ed earlier on cd13. Just didn't get any ewcm just the creamy that I usually get. I may drop it too. Twins run in my family so maybe I'll just get lucky lol.

How much vitamin c are y'all taking in? I think I might be taking in too much. V8, oj, grapefruit juice, and lemon water.

Nice, Tink, you are pretty regular! Have fun with your new pup!

Babydes, don't sweat it.....that is a PREDICTION and not an u/s read, so don't get your hopes dashed. Did she say that based on the Ramzi's Theory?

3PNB, that will be amazing to help your friend with delivery day, I LOVE stuff like that!!!

Cemas, I don't know how to shorten them.....and strange about your lack of cm.....don't know what to tell you unfortunately. Have you been stressed or not drinking enough water or something like that?

As for me: went to awesome doc just now. She is having me do only 3 of the 8 blood clot disorder tests, since only 3 are aquired and not inherited, and I clearly didn't have any 6 years ago. And she is having me do a cycle day 3 FSH check, and having my thyroid and all checked again also. AND I got Clomid, so here we go, baby! I'm gonna give it a shot this next month and see what happens.

3PNB, shall we start a thread under swayed for boy because there's quite a few bfps here now. We can obsess about our symptoms etc

Sounds good, start it up
