TTC BOY November Chit Chat Thread - All welcome!!

[LolaInLove]

Lola-- did you do opk's or temping to pinpoint O on clomid? were you taking supps with clomid? cause there are things your not supposed to take with it right like Vitex...I am planning to try the first cycle w/ clomid which will be Dec. I am having a hard time getting my DH to take all those pills, he says he would take allthe supps I want him to if he doesnt have to wear a condem lol then I am worried I will DTD at the wrong time and get PG. How did you attempt go? I prayed for you, and your DH...

Yea, I did opks and all. Gosh, I'm trying to remember what I took when on Clomid....I know a prenatal and fish oil, probably my green supplements (I drink a wheatgrass and acai shake and a super greens supplement for general health and fertility)....but I know I didn't take any hormonal supps for sure. Its those that you want to stay away from because the Clomid is altering your homones as it is, and the hormonal supps can interfere with that process. Personally, I wouldn't take many supps except general health ones like I did. I had a thread back when I took it the first time because I was concerned about the same thing: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/show...Clomid-No-no-s

Thanks for your prayers....our attempt went fine. We just dtd on O-2 and then again on O. I really wanted to try to dtd a few times on O day, but it just didn't work out since we were at work all day! And we didn't make it in the morning either. I think we are going to have to try that the next month though. I may just have to call in sick that day, LOL. So, I guess we'll see!

I'll tell you a trick about getting him to release but not in you before your attempt: blow jobs. DH's will gladly take one of those, and that way he is releasing without you guys having to do it and deal with the condom/no condom issue. But on the other hand, you really do want to try to get pg as soon as you can on the Clomid. You may want to dtd every other day. On this site, we don't really believe in timing much because there are so many studies (NOT on IG!) that debunk timing as a factor. And if you look at the timing for boys or what boy moms did threads, they rarely if ever had a one time shot like you were supposed to on IG. FF will also kill the timing belief for you also, because if you do a chart search for "pregnant with boy," you will find that the majority of them dtd every day or every other day. So, try not to worry about it too much. I would go with dtd every other day on Clomid for sure. I would take opks like crazy and try to see if you have a fade-in pattern until then that indicates when it is coming. Like, I know when mine are almost positive, that they will be super positive the next day, and then I will ovulate the day after that. So we dtd on the almost positive day, skip the super positive day, and then dtd on O day.

Lola- even after BF I have to work to loose the fat no falling of for me

[2pinkNoblue]

yeah I am with yall on the not losing weight while BFing--adn I am a lactation consultant--So I know all the tricks...lol

[2pinkNoblue]

Thanks for the info Lola ! I always feel less stressed on this site than IG, does anyone on here do MSU that you know of? Next month you wont have to take the dat off to DTD bc (FX) you will be PG

Bec and Fab any clomid do's or dont's I should know...?

That's just it! I can't even loose weight when I BF the baby I even put on more! Im not lucky like others they BF and loose all the fat.

This is my first so I have no idea what's going to happen when I BF.....I'm hoping it comes off or stays at what it is. I'd hate for it to keep going up and up!

With my 1st i was back to pre baby weight after 2 weeks of BF, i think most women snap back quick after their 1st? It's the subsequent ones that are harder from what i have seen.

I think it depends how much you gain. I only gained 15 with my first and was back to my normal clothes in a little over a week but I was much chunkier. With #3 I gained 30 so it took an entire year to drop the last 15.

[love being a mummy]

You know what we are exactly the same! DH said no because 1 he do not believe we can get a boy and 2 we have no money really...and you know what I know he is right this is why I was thinking only 1 more try in jan . and that's it.
BUT now I think maybe we are done...I weight my selfs today and I did not put on almost 30 lbs I put on 35 freaking lbs!! How on earth did I allowed this to happen?
Im so fat it's like Im some one else!
And just to think I get another girl like this makes me sick!!!
I read some studies here and none of them says we have to stuff our selfs for months to get a boy not even this 6 weeks everyone talking about here.(where did that 6 weeks come from I don't remember)
Studies says mothers who had high calories intake around O and around conception had more boys and more likely to have boy.
So Im thinking maybe it would be enough to eat the HE diet from after AF to O and in the 2WW??

Anyway I need to loose this weight I can live like this anymore , this is crazy!

I'm concentrating on the HE from AF-O

but you know what my SIL and a friend of mine are both very skinny. No fat on them they never eat breakfast and don't eat much at all. My SIL had 2 boys, my friend has 1girl and 3boys.

There are just too many people with opposites from all the swaying "rules"
Maybe swaying does help but I feel it could only sway a little bit so instead of 50/50 you get a 51/49 chance but then again who knows maybe even after swaying you still have a 50/50 chance.
But I am still going to sway and hope for the best.
