September TTC Boy Chit Chat and Such Thread

[TTC5]

Someone please take a look at my chart! I swear this is the never ending O or what?? Last night there was no more smiley so a -opk and I did not test one this morning because of that. But I tested the monitor and it's high! I always go from peak back to low but now it only went down to high! And I still have EWCM omg for 9 days now! And I *think* Im HSO up there but will check later on...oh and still have small O pains...I hope this is some after pain. C'mon now!

I told DH now I really hope it's not 2 egg...and he said we gonna be ELP too or what? He just love the name ELP here lol

MMM looking at your temps I'd say you O'd on 17th..

[TTC5]

Flava, I would just keep doing it if I were you! But you may be ready to stop, LOL. Do you feel like you had O pains and already Oed?

Hopeful, I would bd anytime from 12-24 hours after. I don't think it matters much. As close to O as you can, and even a bit after (like a few hours) is fine too. You could also do it two days in a row. The timing thing is kinda debunked now, so don't worry so much about that!

I try to have a big O before and after, but if I had to pick only one, I'd do after also. I believe that "up suck" theory is pretty legit.

Kris, did you have a NT scan yet?

Maybe this is the secret key to getting my boy lol coz with my girls I NEVER had an O before, or after!!! If only it were that easy to get a boy, lol ..

Aw, thanks hun.....no, unfortunately insurnace covers no IF at all, so we would be on our own with that. The local IVF joint here gave me a price on the phone for ICSI/IVF and it's $15K.....but our plan is to get DH on some super vits immediately (I just ordered the Naturally Smart for Men that Dr. Potter and the ivf docs recommend for dhs with issues....it was $70 for a month!!!) and continue to try each month. After a year or so, we will re-evaluate and look at IVF, see if we can afford to finance it or borrow from parents or grandparents. I actually feel a bit better today.....DH and I seem closer than ever now, oddly. It's like we now have a more defined goal and he is determined to get me pregnant.

WP, thanks for that sweet post....you are so right.....all I can do is hold on to some hope. I honestly googled success stories and saw a lot. One of my old IG pals wrote me on Facebook today about it, that she thinks there is something working right, that even with that ridiculously low count, he's gotten me preggo before is a good sign. So, I'm going with that hope. I love reading the stories of miracles, though, thanks everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Iluv, excited for your ultrasound on Tuesday!!!!! Are you finding out the gender? I can't remember.....

I sure will be praying for you and DH Lola. I'm so glad this is bringing you closer. Ouch on the supps. Mine are about $200/month. It's hard to justify but worth it.

Just the 12 week U/S but yes, we will def. find out the sex! We didn't find out w/ DD1 cuz the u/s was too early to tell but I don't have the patience and like to plan. I hate when my friends don't find out. Although it is fun to wait for that annoucnement at the hospital but it's not for me.

Have you heard of those sex predictor tests you can take? I saw them at Walgreens during my last pregnancy but didn't know if they were a crock.

Lola I really feel for you. Looking on the internet is just about the worst thing for people....it almost always gives you a worst case senario. When my period was 2 days late a couple months ago the "ask the docs" website I went to said I had an egg implant in my tubes and I should go to the doc right away. I know the two are completely different, but the fact is, it is hard to have hope/faith when every site or everyone says not too. Honey, our bodies can do some extraordinary things!!! His sperm did get you pregnant twice before...I know they didn't stick, but the fact is...they made it there. All it takes is 1 healthy swimmer. I think you have a great plan.....live your life happy with all the blessing you have and have faith that God is gong to bless you again. It is His timing not ours. I know it is so hard to you to see all of these ladies getting pregnant on the first shot, but everyone is different.

My cousin (who is a little...ummm....Jezebel) was messing around with her husband's best friend and he just got semen on her underwear. Well, she fell pregnant and her DH found out about her messing around and made them do the biological testing....it was the best friend's baby. Everyone was soooo shocked, the best friend kept denying that the baby was his because they did have "sex".

Remember my DH's brother had an aweful sperm count and almost 0 mobility and missing tails....they got pregnant the next month....and have 3 children now. There are soooo many stories of women getting pregnant after a bad report on a SA.

So....it only takes one. You guys will have a baby and then you will be the story that everyones tells to give other people hope!!!


Oh, and get mad....and sad. You should be, but don't stay that way for too long. There are so many people in this world that have it so much worse than we do.

Karma is a bitch lol hey (in regards to the jezebel lol)

Can't wait to hear what you are having!! Any thoughts?

[iluvmyman]

LOL!!!! Tell him to enjoy it now....what's with these DHs who gripe about getting laid a whole bunch in a week? Wouldn't that be a hoot if there was a man's GD site....I would have to crash it and read all the posts. It would be like our brother site for daily comedy.

That would be so fun to crash. I'll call myself the bigboink. IDK, it was the 1st thing that came to mind.

[TTC5]

who is attempting soon and what are the things you are doing to prepare! we are going for it next week. friday morning...7days from now if i get my smiley thursday afternoon. i have so many things running through my head. i hope i dont forget anything. so remind me, the penis goes where? haha

hahahahahahahha!!!! :P

[iluvmyman]

WP--that story about the girl getting pregnant through he underwear is crazy! I bet that is a teenager's worst nightmare!

Lola, glad you are feeling better today. I bet your family would love to help you reach your goal of IVF, if that is what it comes to. 15K isn't really that bad (not that I have it laying around!)--I owe more than that in student loans!

3PNB--I am excited to hear what you find out!!

Flava, you still haven't O'ed? What's going on? Maybe so much stress about swaying?

Amen to that on the student loans. I pay $300/month and I'm at stay-at-home mom/nanny/housekeeper. LOL! What a waste!

[TTC5]

Thanks for the advice. I ended up staying home from work 1/2 day today so we could BD at 10am this morning. I really wanted to get the timing right and I think we did ok. I am a little confused because I tested this am and got a digital negative, but it was a digital positive I got yesterday, so maybe something was screwy with it being first morning urine? At any rate, if you were me, would you BD again tonight? I guess it can't hurt???

Lola, I'm sorry you didn't get good news! Keep your chin up and remember that just when you give up and relax, maybe even talk about adoption, if only because just the audible word seems to give couples the boost they need to make it happen! =) Prayers!!

HMMM I am not sure on this one sorry!

[Flava]

Not too bad, just busy. Not as tired now but still struggle and I'm not very hungry and healthy food always sounds yucky. I've never felt that way before. Had a blow out w/ the teenager and she was talking to my MIL about running away. We spoke w/ our pastor yesterday and have a new plan of attack. He told us that rules w/o relationship build rebellion which seems very true in this case and w/ the little ones taking all the time and attention she has been left out in some ways but we have a plan and will re-evaluate which battles we will fight for. S/B good and DH is on board. Other than that, Just stress that seems to follow me.

I caught up on all your posts and I'm glad you went for it one more time! GL to you!!!

My DD1 is 14 and crazy sometimes so send me some good tips!!
Our last try may not matter looks lie it was after O! (and I dont mind it for sure)
