August Thread for TTC Blue - Chit Chat!

[Flava]

Flava! Just realized my novel left you out ... girl you know I'll be here in a month!!! No worries, I am sure you will have LOADS of support for your upcoming attempt. I was out a lot this weekend but during the week I am on here at LEAST once a day to post and frequently read on my phone, so I promise to do all I can to help you out when you get nervous or have questions. I want so badly for you to get that blue BFP girl!!! You're so close!

Oh ty ty! You are always so sweet!

[Flava]

WP-thanks! and I would wait till CD 14

[Flava]

4blue- thanks , but I only will try next month! and sorry for freaking AF!

[Flava]

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

your chart is looking good!!! FX!!!!

[Flava]

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!

Ty Im so hoping too! But to get a bfp first try well would need a lot's of luck!

[Flava]

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.......

omg this is so funny I wish my DH would do this

Mornin' Blue Crew!

Iluv, oops! Glad your u/s went well! I hear you about the money spent when pg, I am super anal about my diet then also. What supps besides krill do you take when pg? I am intrigued about your right-brain teaching, I will have to look that up. Good for you for doing that, you are indeed a SuperMom!!! Will I stay on Clomid? I don't know, I think she only wants me to do 4 cycles max....it is supposed to be bad for you longer than 6, but since my doc thinks I do ov on my own, the Clomid is kind of an experiment to see if it helps me pop out a good egg since we *think* my recurrent m/c are due to poor egg and/or sperm quality. So, I will likely do a couple more rounds, then on to natural.

Tink, I know you are going to hate me saying this, but I wish I could give your DH a high five. He sounds awesome. I love it! Although I know you are nervous now. Well, 4 days out....that is an iffy one. Some sperm can make it, some don't. You know I'm gonna give you the timing doesn't matter speech here. BUT, you could just go for it tomorrow? I know you wanted to wait though.....tough call. I bet you are fine, though. If you wanted to be "thorough" you could douche or something? Just some ideas, cuz I know how it is to have a potential oops.

3PNB, I CANNOT WAIT TILL YOUR BIG U/S!!!! I don't blame you for not wanting to know now....but hey, maybe you will get a glimpse of the turtle that you just can't ignore!!! Thanks for the pep talk about the diet.....you are right, I would kick myself. Problem is only that I have this weird feeling that maybe the weight is inhibiting me from getting pg, but I am not going to take a break again....too old for that. It would take me at least 6 months to get back to normal, and then I would start all over again and gain? I just don't think it's gonna happen that way, although that is kinda the ideal thing to do, like TTC5. I am keeping it up for now, just really trying to eat little healthy bits all day long, and did start working out and lifting more this week. (DH is also, he's gotta get bare-chested on stage in a month and is beefing up the pecs....nice to have a work out buddy.)

Flava, thanks for the luv, hun!!!! You know all of us have our Flava Pom Poms out for you.....

Begonia, again I say, your DD2 is my kinda gal. Waiting till she sees the backpack array in K before she gets one, I freaking love it. You know she is going to be a ballcrusher one day. So exciting about your scan on Thursday also! No reason to worry or be nervous....go in there assuming all is well because it probably is. Don't worry until you have a reason to worry, that is my motto!!!

WP, I think it's a good idea to switch things around, especially if you had such a long cycle last time. Dropping the gelatin is probably a good thing for ya. I would go ahead and bd tonight for sure, looks like you may be Oing today??? I would definitely bd on O day. I can't remember if you have answered this or not, but do you remember if things were different when you had your sons? I faintly remember you saying you were eating more?

Alexis, 10dpo is the earliest I will test. That is the day I got bfps this year, although I didn't get them until later with my girls. It's kinda up to you, if you won't be upset getting a bfn early (even though you may get a bfp in a few days). And YES don't count yourself out just because you aren't feeling pg!

4Blue, I didn't realize that you had 2 losses like that....not to be personal, but do they think they are because of clotting and other issues? I can identify with the recurrent losses, as you can see. Unfortunately, there is no reason for my losses. I've had a battery of tests done and all normal. I REALLY really hope we both get a sticker this next time!!!!

Hobbs, I didn't make DH get the SA yet. My doc has told me that since he's gotten me pg 3 times already, odds are that his swimmers work. I think if we have another 2 months of bfns, I may ask him to go ahead and do it. Thing is, I pump him full of all of the supps they give to low count and motility patients anyway, and if there is something wrong, we can't afford to do IVF anyway, so it's natural or nothing for us. I guess we could do IUI, but clearly his swimmers can swim, they've done it before. The one thing my doc said is that *sometimes* when the man has a "balanced translocation" where his chromosomes have an extra arm, although it doesn't affect him, it makes it hard to near impossible for his chomosomes to mix and make a good baby. She said he's need to do a DNA karotype ($800 out of pocket) to find out, and if that's the case anyway, we'd have to do IVF with PGD anyway. If that is the case, then we are shit out of luck. But on YOUR DH, I wouldn't worry too much, if he is taking a bunch of supps and eating well, that's good! I kwym about the extracurricular. I guess if he won't quit, you just can't worry about it too much and hopefully the supps are helping cancel that out!

DD3 had first day of school yesterday! She like it so Im happy! Good that this school has cameras so i came home log on and watch her on my laptop. Right now she is sitting by the table making some art.
Not so easy at home with DD4 she miss everyone and just hanging on me till we go pick up DD3.

Ok finally I got DH to talk what to do next month TBM or just DTD or both or WTH because he was not talking about it. And he said to DTD ...huh yeah ok Im scared but that's what we gonna do.
He also said he is horny must be that blue pill I give him all the time.( the ubiquinol coq10 ) I was like yessss it's working
So I hope sperm count is sky high next month !

[Flava]

Flava, thanks for the luv, hun!!!! You know all of us have our Flava Pom Poms out for you.....

LOL that's so nice I have the same for you all!

About the spend money on food when pregnant omg I didn't even think of that! Im just waiting to stop buying all this sup, V8 , nuts, dry fruit , ect.
We just don't have the money for all and suppose to save for a car...well I don't know how if we have to spend like this! we really need that bfp soon!

[LolaInLove]
