TTC Girl - March 2012

[KraizyDaizy]

I feel the same way about you ladies, I am trying so hard to get you all memorized in my brain, and it can be confusing remembering who is who, but I would not trade you all for the world! You are all truly a God Send!!!!

I say go for it Amari. I plan to DTD as often as I can. My DH is already preparing for it. I mean he is ready to start now LOL!!!

I wonder about OPKs with Clomid. I am hearing they are not so reliable while on Clomid? Maybe I am missing the egg because I am thinking I am Oing when I am not? Confused as usual so I guess we will just go for it.

I understand your fear about using the preseed. Have you used it before? It does not take much at all to get the job done. When we used it before it came in prefilled applicators that had way too much in them, but I think now its in a different container? Jellies of any kind have not helped me, so I am ditching them. But, if for some reason I don't have CM this cycle, I am not sure what I will do. Maybe tiny bit of SYLK or maybe not LOL!!!

Ohhh ladies. I too don't know what I would do without this site and all of you. Although I am not on here as often as I would like to be, please know I always love to check in and see updates and lend advice when I can.
PFP- this could very well be you lucky month!!!!Wishing the same for all of you!!!!

I dont know what i would do without all of you too!! I dont post much either but i come on the site a number of times a day, every day, since December. I feel like i know all of you and i just love how much support and well wishes and prayers there are for everyone. It certainly makes this whole process a lot more tolerable - physically and emotionally - knowing that so many women from all around the world are experiencing the exact same thing. I think we should all be so proud of our achievements and our persistnece and dedication to all the craziness that is involved in swaying. I hope every single one of us gets our beautiful, happy and healthy little girls, and one day we can tell them how hard we fought to get them here. i cant wait for that day! Keep it up ladies, you are all very special women. Big buckets of love to all of you from me!!

Hey, girls! This site is great, isn't it! Swaying would be so much harder without each other!!

pfp-sore boobs is a good sign!

hope-how are you feeling?

I bought some preseed yesterday, do you all think I should use it? I am afraid to b/c of the blue sway factor, even though the site stats show it doesn't sway blue. But I am also afraid not to b/c I am pretty lacking in cm and don't want to not get pg b/c of it. Decisions, decisions. Still neg opk but I think we should dtd tonight even though dh already fr today, do you think that is ok?

I was afraid too Amari but Atomic recomended it ,and i trust her knowing that
P.s.i think for me it was difficult too because it has a blue boy looking box?isnt that stupid but your mind plays games on you,dont know if that might also be one of the reasons its bugging you?

LOL, not stupid, it would be nice if it was pink, wouldn't it?! I did use some last night and girl did it make a difference! Did you use it every time you dtd? How much did you use? I am trying to keep it in my mind the the stats show no difference in gender. I gotta get out of my head!!

In my dream last night I couldn't even indulge. I was on a vacation with my family and I special ordered dinner from this chef so it would fit the LE diet, I asked for all veggies, no meat and corn tortillas b/c they were making chicken or steak fajitas. Then I said well you can give me a side of beans, thinking I would treat myself, then I panicked and said, Oh, wait, I'm sure your beans arent' vegetarian, never mind! You would think at least in my dreams I would eat a big juicy burger or something!!

[HopeandDreamG]

Amari- that dream is hysterical! I had one that I was eating pretzels between meals!! I wish lol. I woke up so happy it wasn't true ! What has my life become that that's a nightmare!! Where did the whole preseed=boy come from? IG? I understand why it would be hard to move past preconceived ideas.
I am doing ok. No symptoms but I never do. Just feeling like I'm not preg but hoping for a surprise. I feel on one hand it may b my month on the other I won't b suprised by a bfn. My temp is strange. Maybe the clomid? I had to change O date to line up with injection and temps now are pre o temps. Must b clomid.

Wow congratulations! It amazes me by how much success and positivity comes from here! I hope I catch some of your luck next month! For it will soon be a year of TTC for us and a flash back of the times we wanted to give up and when we fought because the things I learned from IG were all wrong! I truly hope with the help of you ladies I will catch the baby bug no later than June

[sweetsister]

Amari Lol nice dream!shhhhh though dont even mention burger omg i cant imagine even what that tastes like anymore...

I used the preseed every time we dtd except the last attempt i used conceive plus (the pink box)and the one that probably sways more boy,higher ph,but i had already oed and wanted to try it,anyways with the preseed i used up until the 1g line,but i probably didnt use enough because im 10 dpo bfn and not feeling it today

[prayforprincess]

Amari -- could you use Sylk instead of preseed for lube?

Thanks ladies, I love you all too! Don't know what I would do or how I would get thru this all without you all.
So, 10dpo (I think) and clearly a bfn this morning.
I feel so down. I just hate this and I truly messed the diet. I mean, I had ribs and sweet potatoes for dinner last night (with my martini). My girlfriend who just had the baby is coming over for dinner tonight. So, I just have to go straight back on the diet hard core starting tomorrow. I will have been 9 days off the diet and back on for 3 weeks before ovulation. I think that is fine given how incredibly strict I am. Plus, Going off the diet and gaining 2 lbs (oops I know) and then going back on again for 3 weeks I will probably lose another 5-10 lbs easy. That will be good for my sway.
I know its still early but I just feel like its over. My boobs still feel tender but that could just be my progesterone level up. Nothing explains that weird dip in my LP 6dpo and all those weird cramps here and there; but who knows?
I am gonna post some ideas in the dream member forum - could you all take a look and comment.

[amari]

pfp-the sylk burns me so much that I can't even dtd. it must be to acidic for me. i think with the clomid it just makes your cm so hostile. I think I will just use a touch of the preseed.

also, I know you're feeling bad about some days "cheating" I did that a few times. Your body will go right back. YOu don't have 10lbs to lose, do you?
