TTC Girl- April 2012

[HopeandDreamG]

I think you should definitely dtd tonight and tomorrow night. Timing does not sway, and you want the bfp. o-4 is a far fetch one, sometimes it can be enough but sometimes it can amount to nothing.
You have been so strict on the diet and taking your supp's -- its time for bfp. If you want to be conservative, then dtd tonight and tomorrow night, and get up and wipe after 5-10 minutes both times. But I would definitely do it - it won't mess up your sway. And if you get a bfn then you will wish you had, and this way you'll know for sure you did everything you could to get your bfp this month.

mydream~ Ditto. I would have told you the same thing. If you get a BFN, diet is hard to be as strong as the months go and that sways the hardest. Better have more attempts and 100% diet.

Hope, I really think this has to be it for you. It seems very unlikely to me that you're still getting positives from your trigger. I can't wait to hear the results on Wednesday!

I have always found out gender at 12 weeks. I go to an u/s doctor specialist -- not just a tech. So he is always able to tell me at 12 weeks for 90% sure what gender it will be. And he has not been wrong yet.
Most the time at 12 weeks the genitals are there, and if they are not quite there then you can still tell. All babies have the same sex organ until around 11-13 weeks when it starts to become either the penis or vg. So, if the sex organ is pointing up, then it will turn into the penis and become a boy. If the sex organ is pointing more downward, then it will become the vg and be a girl. With my boys, it was always pointing straight up towards their belly button and it was obvious it would be a boy. I remember with ds#3 I had my check up with my ob after my u/s scan. I was crying hysterically knowing it was a boy. She told me things might change and its still early. I showed her the picture and said that there is no way with how far up that "thing" is pointing that'd its going down now and becoming a vg. Sadly, she agreed. It's very obvious at 12 weeks if you get a good shot -- you can be 80-90% certain.

Did you gals see the 60 minutes episode with Dr.Potter -- ivf/pgd? It aired in February but you can view it online.

I am so happy for the woman but she made it all look so easy. Had 6 or 7 boys, then just flew to CA and on her 1st cycle got pg with a beautiful baby girl. Had froze one, and 18 months later flew back to CA to do a frozen cycle and boom, now she's like 10 weeks pg with dd#2. So so so lucky! It does make me jealous. I wish it was that easy all you need to do is make a xx embryo, transfer it in and boom you are having a baby girl. If that was the case WAY more women would be doing ivf. Unfortunately, only about 20% of couples that do it get pg on their 1st shot.
Why can't I ever make the positive odd's, I always seem to make the negative low odd's though.
Like, I had back surgery in March 2011, only 5-10% chance at most that the problem would reoccur. Wouldn't you know, it did and I went in for surgery again this past January. My 1st ds was born with gastroschesis (he is 100% perfect now, u'd never know), but only roughly 20 kids in the whole world (that they know of) are born with this yearly, and of course -- he had it.
For once, pleeeeease -- can I fall into those "good" lower odds???

PFP- I go to specialists too and he knew at like 12/13 weeks my boys were boys. Can't see him this time. I'm with a doc he trained. Will see if he's as good with u/s. Would b the best bday present ever to hear girl or looking really girlie!
I too am the one with the 1% chance it will happen to you. Actually its rely been for this past year but Its been one thing after the other happen.

I taped the wrong episode of 60mins. She's a member on our site. It was in a magazine too I think womans day?? Gotta on demand it or check the link!

[prayforprincess]

you can watch it on the link. its only like 13 minutes

[HopeandDreamG]

Thanks pray. I'm gonna check it out. Saves me from having to search

well CD13, no +OPK yet but my temp is very low 97.33 so I am hoping I O soon. I am wondering if I will O early or late taking the clomid from 3-7 instead of 5-9? Anyone know if this might happen?

[amari]

Not sure KD. I think usually you O a little earlier, but I just read you usually O on cd 15 when you take it 5-9, and that is a normal/good time to O so it might not change it for you. How are your O pains/opks? KUP!

so, my 3 tests must have been all evaps. CD1 today. really thinking of dropping the rephresh this month. plus, I had a slice of chicken pizza on Sunday. but I know that won't completely mess me up. going to mainly keep up with diet and not worry about timing or much else. March was way too stressful for me and I'm making sure I'm as relaxed as possible for this month.

HopeandDreamG.. I hope this is your BFP!! so excited and can't wait to hear.
