August Thread for TTC Blue - Chit Chat!

[jane]

No symptoms for me and a strong positive at 11 dpo- could have been positive later in the day at 10 dpo! Could be you!

thankyou,it gives me hope

[begonia]

Layla I'm glad you are feeling so great re: the french diet! I hope it does the trick for you. LOL about your DH saying you were hot then ... DH's. Sometimes

ttcboy that makes me feel better though; at 1st I thought IVF/PGD got you pregnant with a girl. So have you swayed before? This is the link to Aqua's sway that I mentioned. She did TBM not MSU. Most of us are just swaying mostly through diet, and then some ions, timing, etc. There is another poster, Flava, who has 4 daughters and she swayed with MSU but got DD4. You are not alone in this! FX for you in this journey. When will you ttc again?

Keeping FX for our 2WW! Jane I absolutely think it can be a symptom free 2ww, here's hoping your BFP comes soon!

You guys have been so busy will be hard to answer all:

First thank you so much all for your warm words I really appreciate them. Will attempt next in October and yes I have changed my mind and am doing the FGD. I just feel really good about it and it is not that different to what I was doing before at all just no dairy and will eat dried peas instead of nuts. I bought myself some french earl gray tea with rose petals ohhh ce tre bien the smell, the taste. I pulled out a photo of DH and me in St Tropez on Cote de Azure. I was sooo tanned, everybody thought we were french even these aussies we saw first tried to speak to us in French lol. So I reminded myself how good I looked after the last time I went on french diet (it was a weight loss one at that time of course). Dh goes: ohhh you were hot back then (you mean as opposed to what I look like now ).That made me feel better and now I definitely feel good with my decision. Almost excited about eating all the salt and the meat as I am living French right?

to all the new ladies look forward to reading from and about you.

Begonia I read your dream first but saw that you are doing well about it now so no need for my pet talk. But I always got weird dreams during pregnancy too.

Iluv good to hear from you was worried about you.

Lola, Jane and WP for you too. Stop worrying jane please.

Daisy what an awful story stuff like that always happens only to people we don't know on TV or something but someone that we actually know must be very disturbing.

yes,i will stop worrying,there's nothing i can do but wait,1 week to go!

Daisy : I am so sorry, that is so hard to deal with. Praying for you and that family. I totally agree.....God is the final decider in what gender we have. I will be happy with a girl too. I hope your day gets better.


Well, BFN......I am a lot more upset then I thought I would be. I woke up at 5am(eastern) and had to pee, so I had to test.....I just counldn't get back to sleep. Now I am tired and upset.......and on top of all that I have to wait for the awful AF. Sorry, I had to vent.

[begonia]

Awww, WP, big hugs. That totally bites FX it happens soon for you.

I'm in a funk today. DH said something last night about hoping it is a boy and I just felt really awful because my gut is this is our 3rd and final girl, and I just wish he (we) could have a son. I wouldn't trade my girls for the world (I know you all get this) but I have always wanted a boy, even more than DH has, and it just sucks to think this is my last shot. Once she is here I will be so much more OK with it, but I'm afraid pregnancy is going to be a long, moody road for me I also full well know I'm a grab bag of hormones so in about an hour I might be all smiles again

Both my girls have an activity today so I think I'm going to go shopping for some sweet gender-neutral layette stuff. That might cheer me up

[LolaInLove]

Hey everyone,

In an effort to not have a million posts, I am going to try to make one big one!

Lisaanjrose- welcome!

Daisy- that is absolutely horrific. I think I heard about that story, to be honest. Something like that happened around here not too long ago, and I almost get nauseated thinking about it. The only thing that turns my stomach and makes me crazy, like start shaking, is when people abuse children. I am on the board of directors of an anti-child abuse org here and I have had to step back and just donate ballet tickets and raise money for them, because I can't deal with it. I am a bleeding heart anyway, and this stuff just makes it worse. I am so sorry, Daisy, that you and your family is having to sort of deal with that. And I totally kwym about feeling like cow......you guys know I have the skinny ballerinas around all the time....all I can do is take a deep breath and just tell myself that I am on a mission and part of it is to change my body and eating habits. And I know how frustrating it is to see people who get their dg and don't sway....it makes you feel crazy because you feel like what the hell are you even doing all this for? Maybe you could get your son without it? But ya know, maybe that girl who is pg with a boy would be on this site swayin' away if she had another girl, or 3 or 4 of them.....

Alexis, I say YES to royal jelly/bee pollen (I have always taken both, I think they are just super vitamins and would def take them for ttc boy), and YES to vit E.....have you tried the EPO yet? It's not too expensive, so you could try some out starting now and see how your cm turns up around O time, which I believe is in maybe 8-12 days for you? I take a ton of oils, I think the more the merrier since they are all good for you anyway....so I do EPO, fish oil, and flax oil. I know you had good ewcm on the fish oil, so maybe the epo will make it even better?

B3blue- glad you are feeling well on the diet! I know, eating more food- and good food- does make you feel better. Your metabolism is probably kicking up, too. And don't fret about a soda here and there.....the nice thing about the diet on this site, so to speak, is that it is high EVERYTHING....unlike IG, this "method" allows for a little sugar here and there, as long as you are eating some protein and carbs along with it so you don't have a big blood sugar crash, kwim?

Iluv, hey honey! Glad you had a great time @ the convention! And SUPER glad your bleeding stopped! I know you must have some reserve about this pregnancy since it hasn't been too long, but just try to relax and tell yourself there is nothing to worry about until you are told there is something to worry about! That is my absolute #1 pregnancy rule! Do you have another appt soon?

TTCboy- hi there, sorry you have had such crappy luck with IVF and all your boy attempts! Jeez, I think you are even above me on the difficult ttc road, hun! I don't think many of us are doing EGS on this site, but there is no reason you can't try. I do know there are some posts by Atomic about how EGS is not supposed to really give you an edge over natural swaying and natural attempts, but if I were you, I would post in the Gender Swaying Discussion forum a big QU about that and see who answers. Either way, we are here for you, and glady welcome you into our ttc boy family!

Jane- Lots of people have no symptoms.....just hang tight and we are all KFX for you, of course!!!!

Layla- You made me drool thinking about the islands. I need a tropical vacation SO badly. I think I am going to have to start saving up for a good one. DH and I still need to have a honeymoon.....maybe after (FX!) a baby comes, we will have to do it after I stop eating for 3 months and become normal Lola again, LOL. But girl, sounds like you have a great plan with the FGD, and I am excited to see your results, both on the body and in the womb!

And my dear Begonia- how I know exactly how you feel. When I was pg the last time, I was up one day, optimistic about a boy, and the next, depressed thinking it was another girl, and the next, happy and peaceful about another girl. It's your hormones, you know. It is just hard- I know there is not much you can do about it but try to find some peace and enjoy your pregnancy. Of course, you and DH hope it's a boy, but we all do. The best thing you can do is find your "happy place" for when you start to have those dreadful "another girl" feelings, which is what I will need to do.

And TTC5, go lady, GO! I am so happy for you that you've lost some weight already! You are going to feel like a lean, mean, boy-making machine pretty soon!

XOXO everyone!!!!!!

[QUOTE]

Yeah, EPO is what I started with at the beginning. I didn't get the ewcm until I added in the fish oil along with the EPO. I think maybe the soy messed up my cm. So I'm not gonna take that anymore at all.

So, you think the Roayl Jelly and Vitamin E would give me good ewcm? Should I take that in addition to the EPO and fish oil or pick between all the choices lol? Just trying to figure out my game plan for this next cycle. Thanks!

[iluvmyman]

I will test in tha AM and let you guys know.....

iluv: what type of HS conference did you got to? I am so glad your bleeding is slowing.

ttcboy: I am so sorry, but I don't have any info for you. Looks like something has to work though.

Begonia: Yes, we will still farm. We are looking for more acres.

I feel the same way about finding out the gender. I was a little disappointed last time (we were not swaying, just praying). If I had not found out at 20wks everything would have been fine at birth. I love the whole surprie at birth and we are not telling names either. I know the kids are going to bug us to death though. DD1 told me today that she has been secretly praying for twin boys, so funny because they have NO idea we are TTCing. Never a dull moment here.....I could write a book....if I had time.

Goodnight......see you guys in the morning.

It was a HS conference in Modesto w/ speakers and vendors galore. The bleeding has completely stopped now.
