October Chit Chat Thread for Blue Swayers. All welcome!!

[TTC5]

Foxy - thank you for sharing your sway. It looked perfect.

Question about supplements - I am seeing Vit D is recommended...how much is allowed as a supplement? what is the purpose of this?

I take the dosage stated on my bottle

[Kris217]

There are lots of places you can go for "fun". They do not require insurance and are pretty cheap. Where in the states are you coming to, I'd be happy to help you find one of these places

I'll be staying in Reno NV, and spending a little time in Sacramento CA. Thanks so much!!!

[Kris217]

Someone may have already written this, but YES, there are tons of independent ultrasound shops in the USA. They vary in price, but you can easily google and find one in the location you are going!

Thanks Lola, I wasn't sure how it worked with tourists but I can still do a web search and make a few calls

[Kris217]

MFC I agree ... I bet you O'd on the day of your 2nd OPK, so your timing should be great!

Kris, don't know about everywhere but here, the private sono places require you to provide proof of prenatal care. Mine required 2 sono photos from this pregnancy from different dates, or 1 sono photo and a receipt of payment to a OBGYN.

WP, I really hope these symptoms are it for you this time!!!

Dreamblue, most of us took 400 of vitamin D3, it's the common dosage you'll find in most vitamins. My prenatal had 400, but before I started that I was just taking a chewable. Honestly can't recall the purpose but I know Atomic has a sticky on it somewhere! Maybe someone else will remember!

Thanks everyone for thoughts on adoption, there are always such great stories with most of them. We have close friends who have adopted internationally as well, and one who did domestic. We looked into it after DD1 was born but DH wasn't as open to it at that point ... I think once he saw how much he loved our kids it became that much easier for him to see how easily he could love one we didn't "make" ourselves. The agency we met with back then said Russia has many more boys than girls, so clearly we could help them out We're just going to see how our family feels in a couple of years. We have the financial resources to raise a larger family, but I don't know about the emotional resources ... we're going to have to see how 3 feels. And how our girls would feel about adding another. And where we live families of 4 are VERY uncommon, so definitely have to think about whether we want to be "that" family, LOL.

Oh that's interesting, I will ask all those questions before I show up....would hate to get there and they tell me I need all this info! Thanks Begonia and I wanted to say woohoo for adoption! That was my first choice but sadly in this country I'm not allowed to. I've volunteered in many orphanages in Cambodia so I've seen the need and encourage anyone to give a loving home to a needy child.

B- see I love in Utah aka Mormonland and I swear we are still one of those families. When I say this is my 4th people go "oh wow ok" lol
That's crazy they made you prove so much to get your u/s, all I had to do was name my midwife lol

Lola - kudos on your pee restraint, after all this time not wasting anymore tests is a silver lining

Dreamblue- vit d- studies were done with cows where supplemented cows produced more male off spring then the unsupplemented ones. Here's the theory, more boys are conceived in the fall after the bountiful harvests and sun soaking behavior of the summer. Increasing your vit is another way to trick your body into thinking conditions are favorable to produce the frailer male fetus. On a personal note after dd3 was born I found out I have a severe vit D deficiency and have been taking supplements ever since. My mother, who also only had girls, carries a massive deficiency as well. You may want to get yourself checked, I'm a big believer in this one.

Kris- It'll probably be way cheaper in Reno as everything is more expensive in California lol What hotels, I'll find ya a close place and scope the prices Can you tell I used to work in travel lol

ooh WP!

Oh you're a legend! The hotel in Reno is The Sands Regency, that's where I'll be spending most of my time. Thanks so much!!

[My Fabulous Children]

Really well thankyou xxx But FAT!!!!! I'm currently the weight I delivered my last baby at I am trying to healthy eat but its so hard when the hunger kicks in isn't it lol!!!

And notice NO crazy capitals!!!!! Woohoo for new keyboards

MFC, where are you in your attempt?????!!!

I'm glad to hear that you are doing well C, My biggest problem right now is weight gain, I look 5 months pregnant already! I'm really so sick of the way I look, but enjoy your pregnancy now its all worth it, you will loss all the weight after your baby is born.

The attempt is done, I ovulated really fast after getting a positive OPK.

[My Fabulous Children]

Thanks fab! I know the prog. lvl can be higher but it also go down fast and I just hope with all the other stuff we do I can have a chance for a boy.I know lots of ppl got boys after a m/c .

I just know if we stop and wait 3 months I never try again. By that time I loose the weight and don't want to start all over again.Oh and suppose to be on the diet for at least 2 months that's 5 months already! No way I do that.

ITA, Good luck on trying soon.

[My Fabulous Children]

MFC, hope the Clomid does the trick! What CD did you ovulate on it? I always did on CD13.

As for me, BFN this morning at 11dpo, completely expected, but just had to poas anyway. I think the next few months I am going to wean myself off of testing so I only test after AF is late. Well, you guys know the deal with me. I'm kinda a lost cause at this point, but want to stick around for now to be encouraging to you all.

I think it looks like I O'ed on CD17 on clomid ...Usually with out it really anywhere from CD 20-unknow, LOL means really LONG 30+.

So sorry about your BFN hun, but you did get a BFP before so you never know it could happen at anytime and hopefully SOON. Good luck.

[My Fabulous Children]

ELP- how do you feel?? Omg my DH loves your name so much he said you gonna be NLP and we should be FLP

LOL, Funny!!!
