TTC Girl - January 2012

GL pinkin! FX for you.

[prayforprincess]

So today was day 1 of the le diet, and well I suck, I went over in my sodium and not all calories eaten, I still have to go food shopping which will happen on dh day off.
Trying to figure out if I want to take sudafed or benadryl to get rid of ewcm. If anyone can help me out that is appreciated. I plan to begin repHresh on the 10th since I ovulate late I want to make sure I am covered that time. Is there any other lubricant besides sylk that favors girl? If not can someone explain this sylk method to me? You use it how long before sex?

Noticed a change in bleeding earlier tonight so hopefully af is gone by thursday!! we are going to dtd up until 2 days before ovulation. Then again after ovulation.
Also is drinking coca cola ok?

I find it helps me to make my menu for the day in the morning and stick to it. That wasy I can alter things up before I eat them so I don't find myself at 10pm totally everything and saying "shoot, I need more calories, or less sodium..." etc.
I would take zyrtec. I am planning to take that from end of af til day before o. That should help you dry up cm. USe the rephresh every 3 days, that will help keep ph low. Sylk is the only lube I have heard that is girl friendly b/c is has a low ph. You can use it right before dtd. The best way is to put it on your dh's 'thing'. That way you make sure it gets all up in there and in all the nooks and crannies in you. You can drink coke, just watch you calories. Drink diet (that is good for lowering ph) and if you are in need of adding calories to your day you can drink the sugar coke to add calories.

pinkin, good luck!

Lemon, so sorry it's not a BFP I totally understand how you must feel, but I know you've been swaying a lot longer than me....

They have a biggest loser contest going on at work and the winner at the beginnign of april gets 400 dollars! I'm so going to try to lose all the weight I can so that when April comes, I can start TTC'ing again! I feel like this is just more motivation...I'm going to get a weight loss ticker since I've been dyinng to get some kind of ticker....I am going to start working out now, but I'm not going hardcore until I see AF show up next week...


I really don't think I'm pregnant, but there's this nagging little worry in the back of my head, LOL.

$400 is a great motivation!

AF has me super emotional, and seeing all those BFPs made me teary-eyed! So happy for you, Mocha!!

I seriously cannot keep up with this thread...Its been going crazy fast...

I KNOW!!! It's great that it's hoppin' but I can't keep up...I've gone back to page 22 to read what's been going on but by the time I make it to the end, I'll probably not have time to post... I'm just going to throw out PINK BABY DUST to ALL of us and send you all some in case I run out of time.

Also wanted to say that I am loving all the new avatar & siggie pics! You guys and your families are beautiful!

She knows I've always wanted four, but she just has to put her two cents in. I love her dearly, but I don't always feel emotional support from her. Of course, if I try to tell her how I feel I am this big bad wolf and she is so broken over it, and then we fight over it. I just want to know that if/when the days comes that I announce we're expecting that my mother will be happy for me... but instead I'll probably get lectured. If I admit we actively tried to get pregnant the lecture will be about money and how three kids is enough. If I shamefully lie and say it was a pleasant surprise, the lecture will be about how we should have been smarter and more careful. I can't win. We're 25 and 26 years old. We live in a nice house in a nice neighborhood. DH has a great job. My business is growing more and more successful with every passing day. We've got three wonderful boys who are growing into wonderful young men. Who cares if we have one more? We have the space. We have the money. We have the love. She'd say we don't have enough money though, and that four is so many, and blah blah blah. I just don't want to have to go through it with her, but it is what it is. Everyone thinks we're insane for wanting more, which is why we're not talking to anyone about it. If I didn't have all of you, I would probably go crazy.

HUGS, HUGS, HUGS!!! I had the same kind of thing going on w/my Mom. Why are the people who are supposed to love us unconditionally the ones who end up hurting us the most sometimes?!? My Mom has kind of backed off now after my m/c, especially b/c it was a girl and I know she's always wanted a girl grandchild (and I'm her only hope for that).

Mocha, I'm so sorry about what your brother said. HUGS to you too! I would have been in tears and probably said something I may have regretted. You've got a sweet bean joining you again now, though!
