September TTC Boy Chit Chat and Such Thread

[Flava]

Exactly, Flava! The only times I've been sick this whole year are the two 2ww when I was indeed pg.

I only drop EPO in the 2ww, I keep taking the fish and flax oils and such. I think Atomic said you don't want to shock your body and immediately deplete it of nutrients it is used to. What else are you taking and we can hoperfully tell you if there are any other no-nos....

oh I take lot's of thing lol here is my list

pottasium
Vit. E
fish oil
Vit. B 12
zink
Vit. D
CoQ10
FA
prenatal
DHEA
Fertile CM
wheat grass
grape seed
BY
oat capsules
drinks: green tea with lemon
V8 spicy
V8 fusion
gelatin
ACV
ural

and I drink some COT AF to O this month only

[Flava]

But A/C is good for positive ions, right?

yes but looks like not for my eye lol if this from the a/c maybe from the allergie /sickness ...no clue
Im anyway not sure about ion/sway because it did not help with my last sway .But I burn pine oil and incense too just in case LOL

[Flava]

G2g cook some dinner . Have fun all!
We don't do much on the weekend and DH need to work on Monday.
But I will be here stalking charts

[iluvmyman]

Oh Alexis!!! I'm so sorry hun! Big big hugs here. I wish I could fix it for you. I'm glad DH is there for support. Thoughts are prayers are going out your way!!!!

[b3blue]

3blue- looks like you did O so early I have no clue why fish oil don't do nothing for me. (not even more ewcm)
or maybe you O twice this month? I could happen you will O again? Or FF just wrong...sorry Im not a big help on this.

I'm wondering if it's a gear up to O type of thing and then I don't. I would have never thought to start taking opks now and I have only 1 left! I'm debating ordering more when if I did in fact O that would be a waste. We're avoiding the rest of the month regardless so I guess I'll just wait and see.

Hey guys, I'm FREAKIN' SICK NOW, feel myself going downhill as the day goes on. I have a huge spike this morning, partly because I think I have a fever. But this is good, I usually get sick.....those of you who have been with me for a while now know that's my symptom. I didn't test this morning. Will on Sunday, I think. I'm still all emotional too. Anyway, I want to write one of my usual long replies to everyone, but my brain is not working so well. So, if I skip commenting on you, don't think I don't luv ya!


Blue, looks like you did O super early. Must have been the fish oil, that is interesting. What are you doing with the protein s deficiency? Doing ok? You and your family are beautiful, by the way, saw your FF chart there. Did you dtd right on O then? You must have been superovulating to bust that egg out soon like that, hopefully if it's a pregnancy, then it was your superman egg!!!

Aww thanks. I have no side effects of the deficiency so I'm good. I just really wanted the results to be accurate finally as it's what the 3rd time I've had this test. We dtd o-2 and o-1 figuring I had at least a week until O. We've charted to avoid with no bd after cd 10 and been fine so gah! CD9 what in the world. Of course I would be so thrilled to be pg and I guess God has a different plan. At least I've kept up the supps and while I didn't do so great with the diet around AF (we were out of town) I have just made sure to eat all the time no matter what it is. Dh is finally back on his supps too since I started putting them on his plate again lol.

I'm sorry you're sick!

Heather I'm not a charter so have nothing to offer there, I'm sorry! I haven't heard of fish oil bumping up an O, but sometimes the body does just kick the egg out early. In the 9 months I tracked mine I was almost always on CD13 or 14, but did have 2 cycles where it came on 10. No reason that I could figure! Hope all works out how you would like it to!



So today I am DYING to find out what is in my belly, LOL! I still feel great about the outcome either way, I can totally get excited about another little girl, but I just want to know!!! I am going to be watching the screen on my next u/s like a crazy woman. That said, I really do love the idea of the birthday surprise so I hope I can make it there! Even if I see something during the u/s as long as the tech doesn't say it I won't know if I really saw anything, KWIM? Those things are always baffling!

Well now that is really interesting! The body can just have a couple random early O's to change things up teehee. I'm excited to know what you're having too. That wait is killer I know and makes me think there's no way I'll be able to wait until the birth.

[Alexis2007]

Begonia-I'm dropping the diet because I'm tired of it. I'm still gonna eat healthy and keep up my blood sugar.

AF was only 1-2 days late so I'm thinking it might be ok to try. Gonna talk with DH and see what he thinks. It's just getting so close to DD2's bday in July. DH says we will handle it though I've also heard you're more fertile after a mc.

[iluvmyman]

Phew - I'm totally caught up!

Lola - I think those are all great signs of a bfp and I might just pee my pants if you are. If you test before 10 dpo just be prepared for a BFN. If not, wait till 10 dpo. I'm a hormonal crazy person throughout pregnancy but certainly those 1st set of weeks and I'm really thinking this might be it for you.

Flava - That is just not right that you've never had a baby shower. I'd throw you one if I could! I do have to say that I'm guilty of complaining about those who don't follow the registry. Not uber complain just get bummed. The problem is that you spend all of this time studying what you want and generally put a lot of time and effort into your registry. When you have a shower (especially the 1st baby) you sort of hope to get those things you registered for. People of coarse love to buy clothes and normally 0-3 months clothes. So you really end up w/ a lot of things you might not need and very little of what you do. I do hate to complain about that but people should help you get what you really need and maybe a cute little outfit too. I'm not being selfish though I hope. I try to stick to people's registry's.

Daisy - Congrats on the BFP. According to Kaiser these are the HCG levels. You are right where you s/b and I think they double every week or so.
Pregnant women, about 4 weeks after the LMP:
50–500 IU/L
Pregnant women, about 5 weeks after the LMP:
100–10,000 IU/L

WP - Re: money. I know especially in the Bay Area where we live, it's very money focused and family is a different this as a lot of folk here are 2 income families. My DH and I have also decided that we just aren't going to have savings right now, a house we own, nice cars.....we have more kids. It's hard sometimes trying to keep up w/ the Jones's. We normally joke and put our best friends last name when we use that phrase. They stopped at DD2 and meant to stop at DD1 just cuz they want to travel and retire as early as possible. DH and I just have to try and be happy where we are. It's hard here cuz things are sooooo expensive and he really needs to make another 30k for us to be comfortable but it will work. I think it's just a matter of priorities and choices and we've made ours. Now all you other little &*%%*'s can back the F*&* off and respect our choices. Hey maybe we'll hit the lottery some day.

Sorry if I missed anyone.

[iluvmyman]

sorry for the double posts you guys. Im having trouble posting for some reason.

[begonia]

Flava a/c could be contributing for sure... between that drying out your eyes and potentially allergies you could definitely be feeling yuck even when not "sick" KWIM? Re: 2WW I'd stop URAL but really, what you're taking should be fine. I think EPO (which I don't see on your list) is the only one that is a true no-no. ACV is up to you, it's safe to take every day.

Iluv I LOL about peeing your pants for a BFP for Lola! I would pee mine too!!!

Alexis, drop that diet then! I think eating healthy and keeping up your blood sugar is still swaying boy. Glad to hear DH is being supportive!

Lola enjoy relaxing your sick self this weekend! FX it ends with a BFP! Maybe we'll get a double dose of good news and WP and you can be due date buddies!

So Heather do you think you'll find out with #3? Have you ever had a surprise? We haven't yet and DH has always wanted one so I'm TRYING to honor that!

I think my curiosity is just increasing because we're finally telling everyone and after "congratulations" most people immediately say "will you find out?" So far I have to say I'm really happy because I haven't had a single friend say anything like "aren't you scared of 3 girls" or anything insensitive like that. I'm sure once I start showing I will likely get the comments from strangers but at least all of my friends are genuinely excited for us

[begonia]

sorry for the double posts you guys. Im having trouble posting for some reason.

I know Flava mentioned it too ... I've been having issues myself.
