TTC BOY November Chit Chat Thread - All welcome!!

[Cinss]

cinss--When are you due to O? What is your sway plan? Supps? Ph? etc...

2Pink I am going to have 1 more AF around the 8th of Dec, so O should be around the 25th, last month i had a 42 day cycle which really threw me off, i normally have a 34 day cycle, so hopefully it goes back to normal. What date are you trying? Basically i have been on the HE diet for 2 months already, Supps i am taking are Vit D, EPO, Flaxseed, Fish oil, Folic acid, Brewers yeast, Wheatgrass, Elivit. Drinks i have are lemon water, v8, green tea. I am going to drink Ural for the week leading up to O, in an effort to raise my ph which is low around 5 - 6. I am not on a strict training schedule but i do little bits here and there of exercise, and just to throw in a bit of mumbo jumbo as my DP calls it, i have started burning incense in the house to breathe in + ions, seeing as the moon will be new right around O date. With timing i havent really set anything in stone, i have to do some more reading about it before i decide.

Sounds like a great plan, C!

[TTC5]

Sounds horrible I'll stop complaining now!

Yeah it is awful! I will need surgeory on it at this stage

5- I hate dr's like that. I asked for someone that won't hurt me and will only take you a second so roll your eyes if you must but run the damn test.

2PNB- glad to give you hope but no I won't be swaying again, 4 kiddos is plenty for us since we actually ever only wanted 3
My advice is check out the high everything or HE diet, cut out processed foods and focus on the sups that give you ample cm, fish oil worked wonders for me. Compared to IG this thread flies and we are never short of responses lol I don't know anything really about clomid but we've got a few ladies here well versed in it, I'm sure they can chime in and put your mind at ease.

Bec- you didn't make me think that I just wanted to be sure I hadn't heard that about whey protein but dh doesn't use it so I had no reason to look into it.

5 & Bec - either of you taking mucinex or robitussin? Part of why I quit using it was a week of so after O I would get a vicious sinus clogging cold. Of course you could both just have a cold like me but I thought I'd throw that out

C- wow that's a hell of a sway! Fx for ya!

[Hobbermittens]

Well that was a waste of time, money and emotion.
I saw a locom dr as my usual one is away sick, he made me feel like a complete IDIOT
Basically told me that nothing could be wrong because I have CLEARLY had children before. He said he wouldn't do any bloods either as I am only a week after ovulation (I am 9dpo today) and it wouldn't show yet, he doesn't do bloods until periods are late - WTF?!
I actually sat in my car and cried!

That is so frustrating! I would talk to your regular Dr. when he/she returns. I hate being made to feel like a fool at the dr.

[TTC5]

Thanks guys xx

Jen - yes I took cough mixture.

Hey ladies!

Bec, I am so sorry to hear about your dog. I have one that is on her last leg and is on painkillers permanently, and I just know we may have to make that decision soon as well. She is my 1st baby- almost 13 years old. Glad your Dad is ok also. About whey- not sure, I know soy is not good for guys and sperm production. I am going to look that up and I'll post again, because I am totally interested as well. We were thinking about adding whey in to our diets.

Bumblebee, I had the worst time eating so much also. Today I am trying to eat every 2 hours just because I'm ovulating tomorrow (yea, right, the boy diet will work in 2 days, LOL). Not to mention I am hungrier as a vegetarian....the food I'm eating seems to go right through me! I feel great, but it's hard not to want to eat all day again.

3p1b, I think we are newlyweds still. We still sleep entwined and like to hang out a lot.....haha! We have started farting around each other though. And UGH about your shower situation with your sil, I hate that kind of stuff. Are you just letting it be? Hopefully if the mother comes, she won't be a bitch. It's ridiculous to think a woman would go to a shower and be bitchy, but ya know, wonders never cease. I LOLed about seeing the "goods"....

TTC5, don't pay attention to signs, some never have any symptoms, you know! I want to fly to Australia and march in that doc's office and slap him upside the face. That is just horrible. Bec is right, not to freak you out, but things can change and your various levels of hormones and such in your body can change from year to year.....who knows. Hopefully you are just fine and it's one of those freak things where it will take you a few months to conceive. I agree with the others, though, go see your regular doc when she is back and in the meantime, try to relax and hopefully you'll get a bfp before you need to see her!

2pnb, welcome! I remember you from IG. Gosh, I haven't been on in ages but I can imagine it's a ghost town now. Sounds like you may need some Clomid, which is really NO big deal. I know of tons of boys conceived on it. I took it for 3 cycles (before we found out my DH has bunk sperm), and the first month, I had tons of ewcm still. If you get on it, just use preseed or ew and mucinex also. It counteracts the drying effect, but not everyone experiences that. I think Bec has used it also.

WELL, as for me, this is my new sperm strategy for the month: I have a +opk today, so I will O tomorrow on CD14. We last dtd on CD11, so I think we are going to try the 3 day abstinence and just dtd like 3 times tomorrow. Seriously, we have a nooner planned out. Someone on the infertility website I'm on now said I should try that, so I'm gonna see how it goes. Hoping that a good amount of sperm get in there in the morning, and then we'll add a few more million later in the day. So everyone please say a prayer tonight for my husband's balls! LOL

[TTC5]

I will pray for his balls - Lola hehehehehe!

[TTC5]

Oh I tested this morning bfn, 10 dpo. Pretty sure I am out this month!

[nuthinbutpink]

Good luck, LOLA! Your post was our 100,000 post!
