TTC boy Feb 2012 chit chat thread

[Yahmama]

Welcome to my world! Ugh, I sometimes don't think FF knows everything. It is just a computer program... you know your own body better!

That said, you know how badly I have been freaking out about MY chart and my attempt... I could tell you not to worry about it, but then I'd be a total hypocrite! Hopefully you are better at letting things go than I am. You still had a good attempt!!

Yes, I agree we know our bodies better! It's hard for FF to pinpoint it too when things don't always fall into 24 hr. increments. I know it was early am on cd17, so it's close enough to what it says, but we dtd am on cd 16, which would be about 24 hrs. before O then we dtd at noon on cd 17, which would be about 6 hours after O...so I would have liked it closer, but oh, well. Worrying won't change anything now...

I hope it didn't affect sperm count doing it 2 days in a row. THat's the only thing i'm worried about...

Don't worry about DTD 2 days in a row. I got my first DS from BD 5-6 days in a row! What was the timing when you got your first DS?

Haha..that's funny b/c I actually have a yamaha piano It's my initials+mama We dtd on cd14,16 & 17 so hoping we caught the egg! I first thought I o'd on cd14 since i had the spike in temp on cd15, but it went back down again, so we dtd again, then I had a darker opk on cd17 and tons of O pain, so we dtd again (30 hrs. after dtd on cd16) so I hope it didn't affect sperm count doing it 2 days in a row. THat's the only thing i'm worried about...

I think you did just good! And don't worry about 2 days in a row. Actually Im planing to do that! Every other day if we can or 3 days and then the 2 days .Like before O and on O if I can well see.Atomic says to lower count you have to do it for like 7 days .2 is nothing.

With my son, we had just had 2 miscarriages in a row, so I was just plain old worried about having kids at all! We dtd every other day with him...I still have the chart (on paper) where I did my temps with him and I'm pretty sure I O'd on one of the days we dtd.

[LolaInLove]

I agree with everyone, don't worry about the timing. DTD every day or every other day is fine! Boys come from all sorts of patterns as we know from lots of surveys on this site. Hope this is it for you!

I was just thinking anyone know where is "lightofmylife" ? I didn't see her post for a long time. She was going to ttc this year?

[dloui128]

Ok girls I am CD 1 today, I usually O on CD 13 (usually) hopefully this will be my lucky month. Any pointers?

[dloui128]

Oh and also how do I add my ovulation chart to the bottom of my posts?

You put the link from FF into your signature. Go to the sharing button at the top of FF to get the code to copy. GL this month! How long have you been charting? I think that's the most important thing--to be aware of your CP, CM & temps to be able to determine when O has happened! Are you doing any sups, diet or other sway factors?

ok thanks I will try that
I have been charting for a few months
The supplements I am currently taking are
EPO 1000mg
Co Q 10
Prenatal
Vit D3
Wheatgrass tablets 2x daily
folic acid
fish oil
Vit E
My diet consists of at least 25grams of protein per meal with the same amount of carbs with a fruit or veggie 3 meals a day and then my snacks are usually almonds, rice cakes with peanut butter, fruit and veggies,dried apricots, and whey protein shakes, so I eat a total of around 6 times a day usually every 2hrs. As a treat before bed I usually have some dark choclolate.
I do weight training faithfully 2x's a week but somtimes I make it there 3
The only thing I drink is water or green tea, and sometimes I put lemon in my water but not everytime.
I haven't tested my PH because it was driving me crazy, but naturally my PH is pretty low I think like 6.5. So I was thinking of using Pre-Seed or doing the BSF, and going to make my hubs have a red bull or something right before BD.
As far as timing goes Im thinking O-2 and O? Does this sound ok?
