TTC Girl - March 2012

[HopeandDreamG]

Ya agreed. I read the whole study and the difference in hcg did not appear til 18, 19 & 20 dpo. At 14&15dpo there was no difference. And of course this does not go for everyone -- many women have high hcg and have boys and visa versa.
This 2ww is exhausting...I have never gotten a bfp early so why would I expect to now? Maybe just hopes to end this torturous wait.

And its one study anyway. I can probably find one that says theres no difference! Don't put any stock in it, your BFP's show later! and if the twins showed earlier thats bc they were twins not girls.

I am going to be STALKING you girls for these march bfp's!! I cant wait to hear all your good news! xo

Hi ladies....Good luck! I am TTC this month as well but with a little help with IUI and sperm washing for a girl! I posted a few pages earlier my story......I have 5 boys and have done all the extreme swaying before! Was gonna do IVF, but we decided that its too much for us to gamble all that money and NOT get pregnant! I am living proof that this GENDER dream just does not go away!! I have 5 boys which are my world but I just can't grasp not having my own little girl! Here's to PINK dust and everyone getting their dream! I will be starting clomid this month.....I think its day 4 of my cycle, which should be around the 10th or 12th of March. I am a little scared!! The dr. has me on 50mg with prog. I am so scared to over stim and not be able to do the IUI or even more having 2 or 3 babies from this!!! I am pretty fertile so that worries me and my hubby to death! I just want one little girl!! Please pray for me and pray that we see 2 or 3 follicles brewing when the time is near!!! So excited.....a little scared since I have been waiting for this day for the last year! I have a a 16 month old and I just went for an HSG where they check my tubes with dye and it's all clear in there!! Never had a problem before......Oh lastly, I am still taking supps and my hubby too! I know the IUI surpasses everything but I am taking no chances!! As for my hubby.....he is a must with Supps!! I had him originally of fert blend for like 3 months because we were going to do IVF. then when I switched to IUI the dr. said he didn't need it. So, now I have him taking 1 pill of calcium so 500mg with 1 pill of Mag which is 250mg and 1 pill of Cranberry which is 500mg. I am making sure that he's making those girls in there!!! Not sure what else I can have him do on day of IUI....any ideas??? He has to produce in the dr.'s office (He is dreading that) but any advice for anything would really help!! I have about 2 weeks....right?? Then I take the clomid and my dr. controls the rest!! Anyone know a good chinese gender calendar that is reliable?? Most say March is a good month for a girl! I know I am being superstitious but I am throwing everything in this!! Wish me luck!!!

PFP. i put this in the feb chat thread, but thought i should add it here....

i wouldnt worry about late implanting meaning boy.
my last pregnancy was an obvious BFP 9DPO and he is all boy.
and the one before him was 10 dpo, also a boy....

not sure with this one, as i didnt test untill 12 dpo...

also the testing times, vary depending on your LP.
my LP is longer, about 18 days, so my last pregnancy was a BFP 9 DPO, which was also 9 days before AF was due.

[prayforprincess]

PFP - you must be soooo frustrated by all this spotting. On the cycle immediately after my m/c I spotted through almost my whole LP and I remember how frustrated I was. Here's hoping you get that BFP soon.

Baby dust to everyone trying or waiting!

I am frusterating -- it si so annoying. Never had anything like this happen to me.
So I have been doing a crazy amount of looking this "implantation bleeding up". Most women have it anywhere from a one time wipe with a little blood, to on and off spotting for up to 7 days. It seems that most women who get spotting before their period is due is either because 1)they were on the pill and missed some/ or messed it up (NOT me). 2) They have low levels of progesterone causing them to spot/bleed early (NOT me, as I always have had 14-15 day lp's). 3) Their hormones are outta whack due to a miscarriage, med's etc (NOT me). 4)They are pregnant and it is implantation bleeding (HOPING that IS me!).

It just appears that pregnancy is the only thing it could be. The sucky thing -- all the women who experienced implantation bleeding did not usually get a bfp til at least 4 days after it stopped or til a few days after their af was due. This means more waiting around for me.
I mean, if Monday comes and no af -- then I have to be pregnant. I HATE this.
I know Suregena had a missed af and a hard time last month - but she was no experiencing "implantation" spotting.
There is nothing there now -- and has not been since noon today. But the same thing happened to me yesterday.
Here's to hoping that I see no more spotting and that I get my bfp soon.

Hi everyone, some of you may remember me from earlier; i decided i needed a break from all of this for a bit, but now i am back and excited to hopefully conceive my baby girl in March Even though i havent been posting I have been coming online and checking what you've all been up to every few days to try and stay in the loop, lol. I have stayed strong with my diet (despite a couple of cheats here and there) but my motivation is really strong. Whenever it gets tough i just think, would i rather have this chocolate bar or a baby girl? And all of us here have the same answer to that! I'm probably not consuming enough calories so i am mindful of that at the moment, and because i dont really have much weight to lose i want to up the calories a little bit so that the week before O i can restrict those extra calories and try to lose some weight before TTC. Basically i am just waiting for AF to arrive (prob about 4 days away). This month i missed my LH surge, i became a little slack/distracted and i think i just tested a day too late, grr. Anyway, i am planning on testing early and testing a lot this next cycle so i can be absolutely sure to catch that egg - DP and i are doing just 1 attempt after abstain - so I am planning to TDT right on O or just before.
Happy to 'see' some old faces and some new ones. Everyone is trying so damn hard on here you should all be super proud of yourselves, whatever sway tactics you're using.
Congrats on your BFP Pinkin, such exciting news!!
Now lets hope the world has an injection of little girls born in December all coming from the wonderful and dedicated mums trying to bring them into the world in this forum!! Let's go get 'em ladies!

Count me in for March:bike: cd1 for me im starting second round clomid tomorrow So back to the diet for me.
Good luck Everyone

Hey Lala! I did ask after you a while back. I was wondering where you went. I don't blame you for needing a break for a bit. It does your head in after a while. GL with your March attempt. I am only 4DPO but am already looking ahead to my March attempt as I mucked everything up in Feb. Ho hum. I'm sure one day it will all fall into place!

[Lassie1982]

so much support - makes me feel all warm and fuzzy

Fingers crossed PFP - and everyone else!

Hope you get a shot at TTC this month amari!

I have stocked up on FRER's to satisfy my POAS addiction.
I plan to start testing on CD 22, which is 8DPO.

Exactly Peony, it starts to become all-consuming and it was all i thought about, so i needed to take a step back and while i was still swaying with diet, rephresh, no exercise, etc, i had to remove myself from reading all the info and advice and sway attempts. But it feels great to be back with you all!
And just to update, about 20 mins after i posted today i went to the toilet and hello AF So i guess i am also CD1 today - 4 days early but not a surprise as my cycles jump b/w about 27 -33 days, i never know how long its going to be. No wonder i missed my LH surge last cycle! So i guess i better start really putting things into gear, i've got less time than i thought
