TTC boy Feb 2012 chit chat thread

Hobber I would guess you conceived from the day 11 BD and to me that sounds like good timing. I know from experience that it's impossible not to obsess now, but try not to feel too many regrets.

My biggest regret w/ Honor is that I let myself have a really crummy pregnancy the first half...I wish I'd taken better care of myself and not worried so much that I didn't get my DG. I don't want to sound preachy but I would like to help another mama not feel so much pain (and I feel it was unfair to Honor).

Overall you had made the changes to change your own internal environment... I do think there is something to timing, but I think diet/lifestyle makes a MUCH bigger difference. Keeping you in my thoughts

I hope you are right, and the timing was okay. I really did change my lifestyle a LOT with this sway--I have noticed since becoming pregnant how differently I was eating while swaying. So I really hope that made a difference.

And I appreciate the advice about taking care of myself. I know I will love the baby regardless, but it is going to be hard if it is a girl. It took me a long time to come around to DD2.

I think your timing will be perfect! THat is what I was going for--I was hoping for O-4, O-2 and O. But for some screwball reason, I O'ed the same day I got + opk (that had never happened before--I always O 24-36hrs after a +opk) on CD12 (I also never O on CD12, always CD13 or 14 or occasionally 15), so I ended up with O-3, O-1 and O+1. Horrible timing. I thought the high temp on CD13 was a fluke, so that's why we DTD that day. But then my temp stayed up. I know everyone says timing doesn't matter, but I can't stomach the fact that I didn't DTD on O day! We DTD around midnight on CD11, so I guess it could have been close to O, depending on what time I ovulated that next day... but who knows. The only thing I am happy about was that I O'ed right on the full moon, but I doubt that holds very much weight. I also O'ed on the cusp between moon signs... I would have O'ed in a boy moon sign if I hadn't O'ed early.

I'm actually totally confused when I Od...I woke up this am with another temp increase, but started having really STRONG o pains...so I did another opk and it was extremely dark right away. So I think I Od this am which would make for o-3, o-1 and we're going to try to Dtd during the kids nap today....I hope we haven't lowered dh's sperm count doing it so much! My temps literally look like mountains! I'm so confused about this cycle! I have no clue what the moon signs are now just that the full moon was back on Tues and it's now Sat at least you got it on the full moon exactly! I really think the ions help the sway a lot, actually!

congrats, 3P1B!!!!!!! He's a cutie

[Flava]

Thanks for the tips ! Yeah taco , sandwiches and sauce could work .I will try

And just want to say since timing is more or less already proven not to be true you guys have to relax on it! I think it's very good y'all did more then one attempt so yeah it can be a boy from it!!!!

Yes, I had a lot of CM on CD13, as well as my cervix being "SHOW". I really thought I O'ed CD13. But because my temp never went down, I can't say for sure. The night before I had the weird high temp, I didn't sleep well, and was awake for a long time before I took my temperature in the morning (I was still in bed, but was awake about a 1/2 hr). So that could have caused me to THINK I O'ed on CD12 when I actually did O on CD13? But I will never know. It doesn't matter now, because what is done is done. But I am just such a catastrophic thinker. In hindsight, swaying was probably a really bad choice for me. I wish we could have afforded high tech.

Can you post your chart again so I can take a look? This temp stuff is so confusing.
