TTC a BOY May Chit Chat Thread

[auroara78]

skrimpy big congrats~!!!! My two boys were pull out babies, and I really thought my DH did a good job pulling out in time!(ROFL he must not have). My conception of this girl was the first time we got pg actually giving it a "full shot" chance, haha!

PoP, omg that product has awesome packaging...love the random single spermie displayed on it! LOL. Thanks for sharing!

Lola, so nice of ya to bring the TTC'ers some advice from a doctor. I do think every other day is better for sperm health, and I hope soon you and R can get busy with DTD'ing every other day to keep things mobile!

ITA that nutrition has something to do with it. I gave my DH this big ultimatum of sorts yesterday that he better get his ass in gear and really focus on detoxing his body and being the healthiest he can be if we are going to do this IVF thing. I told him that I think he can improve his sperm morphology through NOT putting toxins in his body, taking his vits and supps daily like he's supposed to......he's not a bad guy, but he IS a guy, and an artist at that, so he just goes about life on a colorful little cloud and does whatever he thinks is a good thing to do right then. Seriously, no stress about life at all. Sometimes it pisses me off because I have to do all of the bills, finance, worries, car and home buying, ALL of it or we'd be living in a cardboard box, I swear. Anyway, long tangent there to say that I do agree and would love to see what you have been feeding yours! I've got to have my DH take it seriously or I'm just not doing this IVF thing. To think that just because he wants to drink Coke and smoke cigarettes and eat pizza we have no shot at a natural healthy pregnancy and must spend a buttload of money on IVF. Not happening. I will seriously show him the Man Diet and point out that it helped your DH make gate-stormers!

And hey, all you can do is plan and enlist some help if you need it in the coming weeks. We are actually moving in a month also and I am just going to have to have my mom and MIL come down, and some of DH's buddies help also because he is out of commission with the knee surgery. Morning sickness- oy vey. I hope you circumvent that this time around!!!!!

Have you ever gone Team Green before? It's certainly frustrating to your lovely GD pals to not know (HOBBER!!!!) but I think it is a great idea to not deal with GD. I fantasize about going Green myself when the day comes. Is this going to be your last? Maybe it would be a fun way to complete your family?

PULL OUT BABIES!!!

I know, I was excited to be in the office of a reproductive urologist (and paying him well for it, too) so I could pick his brain!!!! You know what else, he said that as far as vitamins and supps go, the only ones he knows for a fact per studies that help are a good multivitamin and L-Carnitine. He said you can try antioxidants and all sorts of stuff, but it may not have an effect. He said there are studies that prove that men taking the multi and L-Cart all show improvement. So, make your DHs take a multivitamin at the very least!

I know this might be a dumb questieon but how do i reply to someone and have the reply on my post. Update. My temp went back up this morning so Im assuming that is good.

Skrimpy, so was it just that one BD with a pull out and you got pregnant? Wow, your DH has super sperm! Congrats again.

My DH is the same way!! He isn't an artist, but otherwise, the same. Annoying to have to be the only responsible one in the house, isn't it?? I hope R shapes up, and takes all this stuff seriously, so you have some good sperm in there for IVF!!

P.s. Did you get a new house like Skrimpy?

I think you are talking about "reply with quote" which is what you hit on the bottom of the post you want to reply to. See it there on the bottom right? Just hit that and it will open a new box for you to type in. (:

Yea, we did. I hope he takes it seriously at this point. I am so going to kill him if he doesn't. This is what happens when you marry a guy at 36 who is used to being a bachelor for that long! He is really super awesome, but he does have those man tendencies to sneak stuff when I'm not around. But he knows this is the deal: at Prague Fertility Clinic, if he has no good sperm for the fertilization, they can turn around and grab a sample out of the "fridge" that matches my specifications and use that. How's that for pressure to shape them boys up???????
