♥ JULY 2011 TTC Boy Chit Chat Thread ♥

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.

Nice Lola! Clomid sways girl multiples, right? How do you counteract, just being really good w/ diet? I debate w/ asking my Dr. for clomid since twins would be great but I'm afraid w/ 2 of my other kids issues w/ breathing that twins might not make it. I would love to go out w/ twins though!!!

[iluvmyman]

FX for you!!! So your now in the tww yeah?

Yes mam. I don't expect to test till closer to AF, I just doubt it's going to happen I guess.

[cemas]

Sounds like a great plan Lola.....GL

Alexis i too do 2 v8, carrot juice, Oj and lemon water. i did it before too and got cm. but yes i upped v8 from 1 to 2 and it helps up my Ph!

i have started seeing lil cm since today....

Hi ladies! Back from a bit of r&r, which would have been far more relaxing had it not started with a trip to the ER for stitches for DD2. That child is a wild animal. I have the feeling this was the 1st of many visits for stitches.

ELP!!! HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORAY! Congrats on the BFP dear, I am so happy for you! And wonderful that you're fairly low-key about the blue/pink thing. That's the best! FX for a sticky bean and a lovely 9 months!

Alexis I am sorry you're thinking you're out this month! I know you didn't have loads of EWCM though so maybe look forward to having a chance to up that this time around. Trying to find a bright side for you!

Baby, don't worry about the ramzi theory, really! If there was TRULY something to it then all our doc's would be telling us at 7-8 weeks the gender. I'm sorry it bummed you out though; I totally would have been bummed to hear it too, even though I don't buy it.

Iluv, welcome to the 2WW! I'm OK with my sway; I was more just hoping for a BFN bc the timing in terms of the birth month was off... we really just tried this month for fun; it would have been far better in terms of our life events for me to have a baby next fall instead of next spring. But whatever, DD1 was TOTALLY unplanned and couldn't be a better surprise, so I'm happy to roll with it this time too. Though I will say that my BD timing wasn't ideal either, since we BD 24 hours apart and I know most go for 0-2 and 0, which is what I was shooting for. My O came on CD 13 instead of 14 though so whaddya do. At least we had a 4 day abstinence prior to the 1st attempt. And what's done now is done!

Visited a friend today with an 8 month old boy (after 1 girl) and she was all "you SO need to have a son. It's a totally different experience." I love her to bits but wanted to punch her in the face. She doesn't know we are pg again but does know (and she's one of 2 friends who knows) how badly I want a son. I think she meant it as encouraging but it was more a slap in the face.

Lola are y'all going for it in August?!?! I am getting so excited for you to jump on the TTC train again. I know it has to be hard after all you've been thru these last 12 months but I am rooting for you like crazy.

Jen, how exciting to go to the birth!!!! Oh I hope you just have the best time! And I hope like heck you've got a nice, sticky little bean nestled in there, just healthy as can be. FX they give in to your demands for an u/s. Surely they will!

Welcome Layla! FWIW one of my DD's was full moon and one was likely new. I don't put much into that stuff. I think the best sway is diet for sure. But the rest of it is fun, and I tried to get as much right as I could just for the heck of it.

Cemas FX that CM is great for you this month! What CD are you?

TTC5 your restraint is impressive this 2WW! LOL! I loved your POAS addiction last time ... it was super fun!

Tink, FWIW I was a clockwork 14 day ovulator (that sounds like a machine) but after several months on diet and supps I kinda ended up more like Lola, with a window. Mine went to being as early as CD10, but usually CD13-14. FX you stay regular, it'll make timing so much easier!

So I am sure I left some peeps out. Cheeky I feel like you were about to have an attempt or were at least doing OPK's when I last checked in? And Kris I hope things work out for you this month, sounds like you definitely got the swimmers in the right place and right time! FX!

Oh no what happened to your DD!!??
And lol at wanting to punch your friend in the face haha! :P

[cemas]

are you taking mucinex?

not yet....i take it a day or two before O.....like when i start seeing some mucus.

should i start right away?

does too much vit c affect cm even if its from food sources and not supplemental vit c. I have upped v8 to 2 small tins.

[TTC5]

Was just going to say coz maybe if you were taking it, you may find less ewcm because it thins it out to more watery iykwim?

I'm sure people don't intend to say such things, like you are purposely choosing girls only. Ask her if she'll pay for HT for you to ensure you get a boy. Sorry about the comment, that's tough.

[iluvmyman]

does too much vit c affect cm even if its from food sources and not supplemental vit c. I have upped v8 to 2 small tins.

I've been taking 1 1200mg Mucinex per day AF-O and one 1 hr before DTD to ttc. I've not heard about Vit C causing any problems.

[babydes56]

I thought Vit C swayed girl, could be wrong.

Cemas, i would start taking mucinex now. I would also take more fish oil

TTC5, when you testing?

Begonia, we are in the same boat with bding 24hrs apart but what's done is done. Bet you were annoyed with your friend's comment. Yes it was the Ramziz theory that Alestis used. I was upset yesterday thinking about the cost & time i've spent trying for a boy, i hope she's wrong but then i have to prepare myself that she could be right, not sitting well with me at the moment
