Any blue swayers TTC in dec 2013

[oncue]

Go boysway! I'm so excited for u this month! Positivity and being relaxed will definitely help. We will remind u to take ur vitamins and brewers yeast if u need! I wld love for u to get ur BFP this month! It's good u have had two cycles that have been similar, hopefully this one is on track to be the same and u will have a good idea of when O is coming. With regards to ur DH, are the supps helping? I was going to suggest maybe trying something different to maybe spice it up more if u haven't tried that already? I know with my DH (prob most guys haha) that when it's spontaneous, random and something a bit kinky haha that he reacts like a wild beast hahahahha. That's prob TMI!! If he isn't expecting it and it's out of the ordinary, he prob won't ever relate it to timing and ovulation etc, so it may make it more successful. Bringing it back to primal urges instead of reproduction! Hahaha.
Like I said, I feel really good for u this month! I can't wait for u to join us. I hope u don't get morning sickness as it's just the pits. I hate it. I am basically rendered useless hahaha.
Yes, I get my blood results next week so will know for sure then about the genetic tests and also we shld know bubs sex too. I'm excited but nervous too as we've never found out, and it seems so early to know! Xx

Thanks oncue I won't ovulate till around the 5th or 6th which is a few days after my SIL's birthday party. Hopefully that will help dh relax for a while. We have tried mixing things up a bit and he gets very close (iykwim). The moment he gets near me it's a no go Right now, it's been almost a month since we have bd. I hope something changes with dh very soon. I hope your m/s eases soon. It is very exciting finding out the gender. I have found out with all of my kids. I am tempted to not find out when our time comes around but I can't help but think I might need time to adjust should we be told it's another girl. I had GD with #4. I wouldn't change her for the world but, it did take some time while pregnant to get used to another girl coming our way. I think I was really convinced because my pregnancy was so much more different to the others.

I finally got Dh to the drs regarding his problem. He will be having blood tests in a couple of days to check his hormone levels. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this without needing to go HT. I really don't think that is a path we would go down.

I hope it gives u some answers and also helps get things on track xo

My fingers are triple crossed for you Boysway! We too are done with this one, whether it's a boy or girl :-(

Ewpnx1 - you must definitely not be in the states, lol. A month vacation is unheard of over here!! We are lucky to get a week off work at a time for holiday, maybe twice per year. And as far as maternity leave, it's pretty sad around here. We get nothing provided from the government at all, and only companies with over 50 employees are required to keep your job open for you - an only for 12 weeks, tops. It's pathetic really how un-family focused our country is :-( Fortunately, even though I work for a tiny company, it's my family, so they are much better about it. Still, according to our policy, we pay for 2 weeks of leave for the mother and then allow an additional 10 weeks off unpaid and still return to your job. Of course being the sister, I did get better than that last time. I took 6 weeks completely off work and then ended up working part-time (maybe 10-15 hours per week) for the next 6 weeks until coming back full time, and my brother did not end up docking my pay at all. It was sort of unspoken though, so I'm not really sure what to expect this time around. I've signed up for s short term disability insurance policy that will pay 50% of my salary for 4 weeks, so I'll at least get that no matter what, but it still stinks. I would LOVE to be able to stay home with baby for a year, but in our family I am more of the bread-winner, so my salary is definitely needed. I am lucky that I work from home though, and now that we have a larger home I'm going to see about getting a nanny to come to our house to watch the baby so I can still nurse on demand and such.

Oncue - you're getting your results this week, right? Cannot wait to hear!!! :-)

Wow crazycat, those are pretty bad maternity leave conditions. I stopped working after dd2 but I think maternity leave in Australia has improved and it was pretty good when I needed it.
Yes, I shld find out my results by Friday so I will definitely keep u posted! I am going to ring my obstetricians rooms today to try and see if they are there yet. DH is really wanting to know too haha, otherwise I wld have been ok to wait it out. I actually feel nervous in finding out as I don't want to feel disappointed and this is def our last (just like u girls) so it seems so final too. It will be sad not hear boy as that's what we were hoping but it will also be sad not hear girl as we have been blessed with 2 wonderful girls and I feel like I know how to raise girls (so far!!)

[Ewpnx1]

Crazycat: i am in Melbourne Australia. Here its pretty good. You cam even extend to 2 years without pay. Govt also pays some 10000$ for working mums..i got that with my DD..plus get 6 weeks paid leave and then unpaid can be up to 2 years..I love Australia as this country is very family friendly..I migrated here 7 years ago..I will see how i go this time as i might take a break altogether for some 2 years to raise two kids..My DH wants that too..I am lucky that we can afford that. However i have always worked and kind of got bored at home after one year with first one but hoping this time around i will be so busy with two that i wont think of work lol..Hubby is really supportive and doesnt mind if i work or not...Oncue: are you talking about that genetic testing results?Good luck my friend had that too and wait is klling..My DH is funny as he wants more kids and would like twins this time and i said to him there is no history ever in family lol..8 weeks USG on Monday and he wants it to be twins lol i said to him cant imagine feeding two as i breastfed my DD till 14 months and it was challenge with one only.
