TTC a BOY, June Chit Chat Thread

[auroara78]

POP, whether you are up the duff or not, (God I can't stop saying that ), your chart is truly amazing. You had a perfect dip on 7 dpo, and now it's rising again, it's like the example charts they show you in that how to control your fertility book of a BFP cycle. I really hope your feeling is wrong and that this is YOUR month!!

Cniss, I can't feel the pain exactly of getting BFN's after BFN's but my Nov. cycle which was a bust was a BFN, and it started to panic me about my fertility since my two boys were pull out accidents. I really thought if hubby dropped a full load on O day nonetheless that it would BOOM! instantly happen. I tortured myself during that cycle and the one that I did get pregnant on, wondering what happened to my fetile myrtile status! I know that you have seen so many cycles of BFN, and I can totally understand how discouraging it must be. *hugs*

Bec, yay for O'ing!!! yay for trigger! go make that handsome baby boy now!!

TTC5, have you bought tons of boy clothing yet or u waiting? I got some things but waiting to really go shoppin once the Fall/winter stuff arrives. I have a few cute dresses that I can get a turtleneck or something underneath it so it can be worn in the Fall but def. need some Fall baby girl clothes!

Bec, DO IT, girl!!!! Are you doing the SMEP this month?

POP, all I can say is that it blows completely not getting pregnant when you want to, but on the VERY bright side for you, you have made a handful of healthy babies already, so there is no reason to think you won't fall pg again. I'm forgetful today, but did you get a hormone check at the doctor? I was reading that sometimes it's the littlest thing like your Vit D level is deficient or maybe you need a little progesterone boost in the 2ww like I do? I'm sorry you are frustrated, hun. But, everyone is right on, your chart looks spot on and backache is a sign of pregnancy. You never know! I know the most common complaint right before a bfp is that AF felt on its way and that is it!

Cinss, good for you for quitting and for starting the workout plan! I know, it's kind of taboo on preg/mothering sites to admit you smoke (or used to). I used to also, on and off, mostly socially, but it's been a while. You do feel so much better, especially after working out. That's a good sign that your arms are super sore! Once you start working out regularly, they won't get sore anymore as your muscles will be used to it.

Bec, that's awesome that you have a treadmill....that is so the way to do it when you have kids and a busy schedule, just have one at home and hop on when you can. We go to the gym and take the girls, and they go to a kids care area for a bit while we work out, and then we all go to the indoor pool and swim laps. I've been teaching my kids to swim and my oldest is getting really good, and it's good exercise for her since she seems to be in a growth spurt and eats like a horse....I'm worried she'll start to gain a little weight if I don't get her doing more than ballet twice a week. Anyway, it's fun for us all.

Aurora, I love shopping for my girls, I have to say. I'm kinda funny lately, I almost want another one more than a boy!

Hahaa aurora I am loving the "up the duff" comments. Everyone should be getting that way ASAP, do you hear me gals????!

Bec I hope you catch that egg, the dark OPK sounds fab to me! Will the trigger shot not do much of anything if you've already O'd, or will it possibly trigger a second O?

Hopeful congrats on your BFP. Praying for a sticky bean for you

Lola thank you for asking how we are doing, will update below. I know what you mean about the stubborn mama belly. I was fighting mine so hard and felt like I was really making progress. Now you can't even tell I was close to a washboard... BFP and my body just gives it up! Have you looked at Julie Tupler's tummy exercises? Those really helped my tummy.

PoP I hope this is your month even if you're not feeling it

AFM - we got an offer on our house! I am so thrilled. It is essentially a full price offer, we're just going to help with about 1,500 dollars in closing costs. We are waiting on an inspection and bank appraisal right now, but as long as those come in good we should be closing on this house in about a month and will be the proud owners of only one house, woohoo!

We move next Thursday and I am so very excited and ready! I'm really feeling the first trimester fatigue at this point and that's tough, but I think I'm doing pretty well. I've gotten some entrees into the freezer to cover us the first few nights we're in the new house and I think that will help a lot.

Honor and the other kiddos are doing great. I'm still nursing her and it doesn't feel painful. I still have plenty of milk so we'll see how long this keeps up. I'm trying to get her to take a sippy cup but so far she just chews on it. Hopefully she figures it out soon in case my milk supply tanks!
