Now that's a surprise, not testing . See you now behaving like us who swayed forever! Is AF due today?

[TTC5]

LOL yes I am kind of tested out lol... the thrill has worn off haha..
Yes due today she should be here between now and the next 4 hours..

So no test 5, booo!!! I saw your update on the 2WW thread though and just can't hold in the excitement, I'm really hoping you're a late BFP'er. I said it there too but those nosebleeds sure seem strange if not pg related.

Lola, that plan looks AWESOME. I totally dig it. All of it. You have a great list of supps there lady. You might should even post that in the TTC boy best practices so that those over 35 can see all the anti-ox. Good stuff and FX you get that healthy little bean in there soon.

Jen my DH won't be coming to the appt either. He'll be ticked if he misses an us but he's scheduled to be out of town. Really he didn't make it to any of DD2's or DD1's except for the us anyway! I don't mind. I'm a do-it-yourselfer, LOL!

OH but I'm super excited, my one friend who knows I'm pg has a doppler I can borrow! So I'll get to listen to my baby anytime I feel like it. She said she couldn't really use it til about 13 weeks but that's cool with me.

Baby did you post a pic and take it down? That's what I'm guessing to make sense of the comments :-) So cute that your DD has already "named" her brother! It's funny how kiddos have a gender preference isn't it? Have you asked her why she's hoping for a brother? I haven't told my ladies yet but my guess is DD1 will want a brother (bc she loves boy stuff anyway) and DD2 will waffle, because heck she's 2 and it's not like they are stellar decision makers. She'll probably be hoping it comes out a puppy instead of a human baby.

ttc5- OMG on the edge of my seat here!!

Baby - did I miss a cute little face?!

B- I used to be a do-it-yourselfer but now I have an entourage, I always have my girls in toe lol
a puppy lol

Baby - you're lucky, all my girls friends have jerky little brothers so they only want a sister. I keep trying to tell them our little brother would be funny and kind just like a little sister but they don't believe me

Just HAD to quickly post this got to run as I have an appointment kids to dress etc .....not sure if you can tell very well in pic but IRL faint line came up well within 5 mins! ...on two different tests.......I may cautiously begin counting chickens ....am feeling mixed emtoions...happy obviously and VERY lucky.... but feeling sad too as this will be my last baby...as well as a little undeserving.......How can it happen quickly for some and take so much longer for others who are just as deserving??? or in the case of a friend not at all for 7yrs all unexplained too....not sure how to tell her will be back later to read everyones posts and see what has been happening ...
TTC5- FX! I couldn't help but see that last post !

[3Pink1Blue]

OMG Cheeky!! WOOHOO!!!! Pot calling the kettle black here but don't feel guilty, feel fortunate and happy!

[begonia]

Cheeky that is FAB!!!! CONGRATS! And go sign up on our due in March thread now


And FWIW I TOTALLY get your mixed feelings on the BFP ... I felt much the same. And still do, but it gets easier as days go by

YAY for another blue BFP!

Hi ladies
Good news no thyroid issues. My bloods all came back very good, no diabetis either all is well. I have to tell you though the whole scare made me think about the possibility that I may not be able to have any more children and that scared the hell out of me. I want one more baby and asap. So I have decided to attempt this month. I have been on the diet for 6 weeks, I have been taking folate fish oil and B12. DH has been taking fish oil, B12 and zinc. I have been drinking lemon water and green tea. I did not intend to take any other supplements as such i do not need to wait for 3 months right? Also I am affected by ions a lot. And because of my freaky early period being the result of me stopping bf I should be ovulating very close to the full moon which never ever happens to me. I decided to take ural from today until O and make sure DH drinks cofee 1 hr before bd. I bought opk and will look for O but will bd on 2-3 days as well. You are all younger than me and it is taking you several months to get pg, I can't wait that long. So wish me luck I am doing this.

Sounds great layla! Are you using egg whites or preseed?

[iluvmyman]

well I thought I saw something 5 mins in but it was still dark here (7am)and that was under lights it got marginally 'darker' over the next 5/10 mins but really if you hold it a ruler away from you you would swear it is 'no line' you really gotta peer closely and you can see a faint line on the edge closest to the pee LOL more so if you look in natural light.............so I DUNNO...............will wait and see what the next few days bring........I am definately not counting my chickens yet.......but on the plus side I never get strong positives early on - DD1 was like day 14 and still faint for days after and DD2 was a 'squint i think i see something on 12dpo'...................

Can you get a digital then?

[iluvmyman]

Thanks Cheeky and Bec. Good luck to you too also especially you Cheeky for this month. Hey I was watching Kerry Ann this morning (yes yes I know I am old) but there was a woman talking about gender disappointment. She wanted a girl but got a boy did you watch it? She said she tried everything including douching it sounds like and did not work. But KA was looking at her like "are you joking what kind of a joke is gender disappointment." And asking her questions like what do you have to say to people who can't have any babies and you have 2 healthy ones. So I think it is best to keep quiet about this swaying business and have a good chat on this very nice and supportive forum about it only.

This comment upsets me way too much to hop on my soap box but I'll just say that yes, we should be happy with healthy children and the ability to conceive at all. God knows there are far worse things in this broken world then getting another child of the sex you didn't want. But you also need to love people where they are at, and the feelings are real. Stuffing them way way down doesn't help either.
