August Thread for TTC Blue - Chit Chat!

[WashingtonPromise]

I miss the ignorance I had when pg with DD1 ... now I know so many friends whose kids have fairly substantial health issues (including one whose son was born with DS that was NOT picked up in any of the screens) that I don't take anything for granted. I know odds are heavily in favor of all being a-ok with #3 but it sure will feel better to see it. Thanks so much for the prayers

Off to go get DD! I am going to be the first mama there. DH took the afternoon off so we're going to get snowcones and the rest of her school supplies together. She didn't want to get a backpack before school b/c she wanted to make sure she got one NO ONE else in her class has, LOL!

I meant to tell you that I have had 6 wonderful pregnancies and 6 perfectly normal children. Don't worry, your little bean is going to be just perfect!!!

Hello everyone!!!!

Flava: Hooorraaayyyy for being 4dpo!!!!! FX for you!!! =)

WP: I was on the amoxi after O last cycle because I had a sinus infection. I don't take ANY meds unless they are prescribed. =) I just read somewhere that the abx can stay in your system for up to 6 weeks. I was hoping if this is true that at least it would hopefully work in my favor and not against me. =( Tooooooo funny about your DH and the egss!!!!! =) LOL!! Yaaaayyy for ewcm!!!! Go get em girl!!!!!

Alexis: 7dpo is still a bit early. Remember on average it takes an egg 7-10 days to implant. That being said though, I know what you mean. I get that "feeling" too. I hope that you are wrong and you are pleasantly suprised in a few days! =) When are you testing???

lola: I am on baby aspirin, extra b6, b12 and folic acid. Once I get pregnant they will switch me to Lovenox or heparin injections until 6wks postpartum.

Iluvmyman: Yaaaayyy for hearing the HB!! =) Good luck with your up coming ultrasound! I am also very soory for the loss of your son. =( (((hugs)))

Tink: I wouldn't freak out yet. Besides, whats meant to be will be. =)

Begonia: Glad to hear that your DD was doing well as of lunchtime!! How did she do the rest of the day??? Does she only do a 1/2 day or a full day???

EOE: Hello!!!!! =)

AFM: AF showed today. Not much else to report. I will try to catch up with you all again tomorrow!!

[Alexis2007]

Im4blue-debating on whether or not to start testing tomorrow.

WP-not sure when I've got my BFP before. Never tracked my cycles or O before. But I've got some ICs to use lol

Try not to get too mad at him.....I think every DH comes from a different place....mine is afraid the reason we can't make a baby is HIM, so he will do whatever. But, I also threatened to not continue to ttc if he was smoking or not taking his vitamins (which was also the advice of the doc after our last m/c counseling). Hobbs, your DH may think you already made one of each, so maybe he doesn't believe in it....IDK, but I think you can still have a great sway without him....just feed him lots of protein and hearty food and see if he'll at least take a multivitamin or something?

He is taking the supps--lots of them. ANd he is good about that. It is just all his "extra curricular activities" that he won't quit, and it is making me nuts! I am only asking him to quit until I am pregnant, and then he can go back to all his bad habits!

Lola, did you do a SA for DH yet? If so, how did it come back?

[Hobbermittens]

Hobbermittens- I was really lucky with dh, he did everything I asked. He took all the sups, ate whatever I told him to, stopped drinking coffee and didn't drink any beer af-o. I think he was secretly afraid of me blaming him if it was another girl. Explain exactly why you want him to do these things, overload him with the science and let him know you don't want to leave it 100% to chance.

.

You are so lucky your DH co-operated! My DH doesn't really care about gender, so I can't guilt him into doing better. He does know how important this is to me, so he is trying, but his personality is somewhat rebellious, so sometimes the more I push him, the more he pushes back... so I haven't been too tough on him about all of this, because I am afraid that he might just stop doing the stuff he is actually doing!

[Hobbermittens]

DH is doing good but I told him to lose some weight and that's what he can't do...and now he is angry about all the money spend on this.So I really hope we get a bfp next month!

I know, my DH is bitching about the money we are spending too... hope you get a BFP next month so you can be done with all this!

I agree, at least he is doing the supplements. My DH would like a boy, but it isn't important....no guilting him either. I do all the cooking, so he is getting plenty of protein, and it is fortunate and unfortunate that he ALWAYS likes what I am eating. So, I have to buy/cook double the amounts of coconut water, lara bars, p.butter, boiled eggs.....and all that. He even ate one of my bowls of orange juice gelatin last night. He is so funny....if it is food he is up for it, but EW and instead cups are off limits for him. Hubby is very competitive, so he just couldn't stand the fact that I was doing weights without him. Now we do them together and he has to do more reps than me....typical man.......but maybe that means he has high testosterone All the DHs are different, just like we are all different and doing different sways....it will work out.
You are going to start TTCing in October, right?

Sorry, just assumed you were taking amoxi for TTCing, I know a lot of women do try to get an anitbiotic for that reason. Not sure how long it stays in your system, though.

Sorry abour AF, are you trying anything new this cycle? How many cycles have you been TTCing?

[Flava]

So try this on for size. DH and I were getting down on the 19th. Since on not on a BC we have been using condoms until our attempt. This Asshole, decided to just go for it and he, well you know didn't pull out. I was so Fucking pissed. No warning at all. He said he just wanted to go for it. He doesn't care if it's a girl or a boy. OMG. I could kill him. The only thing that makes me feel good right now is, A. LMP was one the 12th, so I am due to ovulate this Thursday. SO I think i have may escaped his getting me pregnant...But you know never know. He could have slipped one by. and as we all learned back in 6th grade all unprotected sex leads to pregnancy. Oh man. Plus the wedding in 2 months. Oh well...whatever happens happens! right...It's gods way! SO what do you ladies think my chances are of actually getting pregnant 8 days after LMP?

WTH is wrong with this DH's? If you are going to O on thursday then this was just 3 day before O? Sure you can get pregnant from it!
I would kick him out of the room till is time to try again.lol
