August Thread for TTC Blue - Chit Chat!

[jane]

Begonia,my attempt is just under a month away!

[WashingtonPromise]

Begonia: I was thinking about you yesterday....I would love to hide my pregnancy for a little while, my body just doesn't allow it. And DH wouldn't believe I was pg, he says as soon as I get a + my body just goes ahead and fulls up with all the amino flui...poor guys is still clueless after 6 children. You really should show a belly pic, I would love to see you baby hiding abilities

Lola: I am so sorry you are getting fed up with all the swaying. Hubby said the same thing, if this month didn't take....he wants me to return to my normal diet and try one more month before a break. This just has to be your month. Do you have any tests in the house?

iluv: Congrats on sharing your good news!!! I think everyone has someone that just has to start up with the negative remarks. My mother always says....I hope DH got a raise, so you guys can support another baby. It always makes us POed. We provide just fine for our children. But, she thinks all of their clothes should be Gymboree and blah blah blah. She is always excited when the new baby gets here though.

I didn't know the weird temp means I am dumping huge amounts of progesterone....that's good? Well, this morning it went up again and now it looks like a mountain. It should level off soon, right?

Im back to sick again Not so much but I don't know what to do!
I guess I make a thread about it and see what everyone says.
Im so very disappointed.

WP- you can get a bfp with those tepms!

Lola, I think you can have a glass of wine! I know plenty of people who had a small glass of wine occasionally during pregnancy. No one had any issues with their babies. But don't do anything you aren't comfortable with!

I hope you get a BFP s you can stop TTC. You have been doing this a LONG time!

THANK YOU, and yes, it's been forever! I probably had 10 glasses of wine before I knew I was pg with the girls, but since this has been taking so long, I would feel better about not drinking anything. I mean, I've been healthier than I've been in years, although heavier....but food-wise, I eat more, but it's all good stuff.

Lola, I had some with ds3--I had an irritable uterus and contracted for 6 months, and another preggy mommy suggested. it worked like a charm and stopped contractions dead for a whole 24 hours each time--sweet relief!

that said, I heard if you are implanting it can effect the baby and wreck implant so unless you have had a nice ID, I thinki would skip it.

Lola, have you had a bunch of mcs? I am on #5 now--can't seem to hold a bean to save my life. waiting for it to pass and feeling awful. Please let me know if thats the case--I am surious what your drs are doing. after 4 kids myself you;d think i'd be fine. I am turning 35 in 2 weeks so my dr said to start taking 5 mg of folic. not sure if thats the recurrent mcs or the age factor, but she said to...

hugs... ps, I also emailed you today so go check!

HEY L!!!!! Interesting about the wine stopping contractions! Way easier than meds, yea? Well, like I said in above post, I won't be able to drink knowing it may affect implantation....I mean, I would never know it, but what if my one glass and staying out late made my bean flush away?

I'm SO sorry to hear about the m/c....I did read your email, and that is just AWFUL.....do you think the residual matter is making you sick? I will email you back more about the m/c stuff and tests and all.

So glad you are on GD now!!! Are you still ttc girl? xxoo

Yea, it does look like a mountain! And yes, rising progesterone is very good! I'm so excited to see if you are pg!

And thanks, you ladies are all so sweet, I hope you are right and this is my month. I do have some tests, but will likely wait till 10dpo or so (Sunday). I might have to do the same thing and just drop it all and go for getting pg strategies only.....I don't think I am swaying that much, to be honest, just taking a lot of vitamins and eating little bits all day long, which I guess is good for fertility anyway. WP, you seem to make boys anyway, maybe you will be just fine!

Re: the drinking in the 2WW this was me; with DD1 I didn't know until 8 weeks (was on bcp's and not paying attention) and definitely had 2-3 drinks a week until I found out. And she's a-ok, but I did feel horrible about it once I knew I was pg. DD2 I was on vacay in the 2ww, we were NTNP, and I drank before I knew.

But Lola, I think just like you said ... you now is a different you than several years ago, and given your recent history of let's just call it crappy luck, I think you're better off abstaining. Booo. But ... let's hope you're going to be abstaining for the next 9 months

Just popping back on to say hi! I'll go read the last 5 pages or so but hope to start fresh in Sept!

Update on me I guess is that my suspected protein s deficiency could be a little more serious (rare type II form). So I have to repeat bloodwork at the end of this month to confirm. Doc says it was done too close to the end of my mc. So that means we're definitely TTA this cycle. We're still pressing on with the swaying stuff and the doc ok'd fish oil. Happy to report I have ewcm at CD9! Amazing!

I don't know I cry all morning here.Im so very sad ....like I just know all this months that something crap will happen when is time.
