♥ JULY 2011 TTC Boy Chit Chat Thread ♥

WP for protein I am eating lots of nuts. Meat at least once a day either red meat or chicken. For lunch either tuna and eggs or smoked salmon or ham or turkey or canned soups (as per FGD). I also have full fat yoghurt once a day to satisfy my sweet tooth as I am also dying for sweet begonia but am really trying to cut carbs.

ZB where in Greece are you? I have been all around the Balkans actually backpacking. Belgrade is beautiful. Just noticed that my saliva ovulation monitor is made in Belgrade. How weird is that! Or maybe not as former Yugoslavia was very technologically advanced was it not? It is called MyBaby.

Good morning ladies!

Daisy it was cookies I missed most, oh my goodness so much! But when pg I find I don't want lots of sweets so now that I can have them I haven't even made them, boooo! And I did a study abroad in Paris too! And then worked there the summer after college. Super fun!

Layla do the UK schools go year-round? I sure wish our programs would switch to that. I know Jen's girls go year-round but by and large those programs are hard to find here. Re: the IG successes I suppose it can certainly make one decide to leave milk out and look more at minerals; just about every gal on that list was on the IG diet. All of their sways are posted there if you wanted to go look at them. I'll be happy to see the results from all these GD sways start coming in the next few months!

Lola I'd go with the preseed only bc I know the eggwhite thing just didn't seem to do much for you last fall. Other than provide some comedy into the TTC business

THANK YOU for the reminder there, you are so right on, B! Decision made! FU, chickens.

Pregnancy forum, huh. I haven't entered one on here yet. By Due date?

Yea, there is the Boy Sway Grads and then there are due in April, due in May, etc. threads. Are you in April?

Greece doesn't sound like too bad of a va-cay. We're here in California, so I'm sure I'll never get to Greece.

Dude, I was thinking the SAME thing! So funny how IRL some of us live so far apart. I would DIE to go to Greece, or even Europe for that matter! My family lineage is from Prague and my DH's from Warsaw, and we'd love to go there someday. ZB, you DO NOT want to go to Mexico, it is dangerous. I would only go to Tulum (Mayan Riviera) or Baja, like Cabo if I did. But Bali sounds amazing! I think Babydes is going to Ibiza next year after baby comes.....lucky girl!

Hey ladies sorry for the absence we've been doing lots of home projects lately. Not so much me, we've been painting, but I've been helping where I can. Catching up but only going back 5 pages so if I missed anything good please let me know

Welcome WP!! It doesn't matter when you temp as long as it's the same-ish time everyday. The actually # isn't as important as the pattern that will emerge Oh I'm super jealous of your farm, we are hoping to have a large garden for lots of veg one day. Not sure we'll have any animals other then chickens though.
My protein was beef, chicken and eggs, lots of teriyaki jerky and some tuna.

Alexis - I'm with Lola cm 4dpo can be a good sign. I had (and still have) a ton of cm from a few dpo. FX!!

Lola - I too feel and look like a different person with all this chub. I think the worst thing is having everyone think you just got fat, I so want to wear a shirt that says "I got fat on purpose, but please don't ask me why" Woohoo for clomid and tons of cm!!

ZB- Greece, so jealous! Never been to your other options but I've been to Mexico several times, I love it.

Jane- I hate timing, so little evidence yet so much stress lol

I'll have to finish my catch up later, off to meet dd2's teacher.

Daisy : Did you test?!?!?

Layla: Funny....my family is from South Dakota where there is almost nothing to do, but farm. So, my father feels the same way....why are you wasting money on animals when you could have a new boat or vehicle. He is well educated and makes great money. Hmmm, dad just doesn't get it.

I was thinking about EW yesterday (DH would NEVER go for it), but if we ever needed a fresh one for TTCing...I could just go to the back year

I may add Vit. D if this isn't the month for me.

2 things that were different with my boys and girls pregnancy. I had aweful morning sickness with the girls and none with the boys. I enjoyed sweets with the girls and could barely stomach them with the boys. I normally love M&Ms, but with the boys I could only eat a few and they had to have peanuts in them.

I forgot to say, I normally get woke up by my BF DD at about 4 or 5am and if she doesn't wake me up then I either have an alarm set for that time (to keep time the same) or I forget and temp at 7.

I am in the same boat as you ladies.....have gained 5 pounds I know, I know....that's the goal. But, today I bought some weights at Walmart to help tone and build muscle instead of fat. They were on clearence, so I couldn't pass them up. I don't really need any toning on my upper body, carrying children and feed buckets takes care of that. But, my core is starting to look pg.

ZB where in Greece are you? I have been all around the Balkans actually backpacking. Belgrade is beautiful.

Layla - we are in Psakoudia, Philoxenia Bungalows. Psakoudia is super small village, but beautiful, bungalows are in the pine wood. Psakoudia is between Cassandra and Sythonia ( I know I misspelled it ) on Chalkidiki.

Were you recently in Serbia? I have the same saliva ovulation monitor Yes former Yugoslavia was beautiful and advanced country, too bad politicans didn,t feel the same. Anyway, it was long ago, I was 20 when the country started to fall apart with wars.

But back on the brighter subjects: I think it's super cool you want to live on farm, I had ( still have) same idea too. I think it's healthier in so many ways - for living, raising children, for peace of mind. Maybe I think of it too idealistically? lol!

Off to dinner, I'l be back in few hours, can't wait to chat with you guys!

[Zivic-Bubac]

This is going to be fantastic for your sway ZB! So excited and FX this is your month!!!

Thanks sweeti! I can't wait to join you on Pregnacy board
