TTC a BOY May Chit Chat Thread

[Butterfly Spirit]

There must be something wrong with me 7 months of not using protection and I'm not pregnant.
It's just not right. Maybe I am not Oing at all. Do you still get ewcm if you do not O.

Actually, if you get a period it meant you Oed! I found that out in this last month. I was having many + OPKS since Feb and not knowing if I was actually ovulating. And then..
I also had 6 + opks with my conception cycle.. !!!

I have to disagree with you here. You can still get your period without ovulating, it's called an anovulatory cycle. I have had many in the past. Cinss had one a few cycles ago too I think.

To confirm an anovulatory cycle there is a very easy way. If you take bbt then your temps will be all over the place and not in two phases which should be when you are ovulating.With an erratic bbt chart you will now that you are not ovulating and take steps. May be you people will be shocked but I live in a country where neither opks are available, nor the strips or the saliva microscope and I searched it everywhere. As my cycles are irregular I was also scared of anovulatory cycles but charting for a few months I am sure I ovulate, just that I have high estrogen and testosterone that delays my ovulation.

Yeah i agree you can still bleed if no egg pops out... It is the worst waste of time, i would not wish that on anyone ttc. Lbam i think you still can get ewcm because your body is gearing up to O for a day or two before you actually do. It is too hard to try to pinpoint what went wrong. With you me or our partners or a combination of things. Hang in there you guys are fertile so it will happen.

It's so nice just taking prenatal and fish oil. I haven't temped in days and it's great not having to wake up earlier and then not fall back to sleep because me temp concerns me or excites me in some way. If I can judge it right I am going to attempt daily for 4 days before O and day of O...tiny bit of preseed every second day (just incase it's stopping me falling pregnant) and I am going go TBM every second day...mix it up a bit and see if that works. I am sick of TTC!!

mommy- sorry for AF...it may be the stress ? When I got me bfp we take it easy for sure no planing out much , I did not even have big O because I can't in caveman style...also that month FF did not gave me O date and my temps looked so crazy like I did not O at all .So it's not like we can always tell from temps because there is not always two phases .
I didn't have that and Im pregnant so...

[Flava]

Bec- Im ok but still sick .Not every day so bad but yesterday was so yuck...tired of it...
Sorry about the baby .But she was very sick and would not make it I guess?
I hope next time it will work and you get a healthy baby first try!

[LolaInLove]

OH gosh, Bec....I hope you are doing ok with that news. I bet I've had one of those too at some point, some trisomy at least. It is so common, and you know it doesn't mean that it will happen again. I am so sorry. And yes, my girls have never known life without our dog....she was my first "baby" if you will. I've talked with them about it and we've had our cries, but they understand that life has a cycle and everyone is born and everyone dies. They get it, and I am glad we have pets for that reason. Life is precious and that is something important to teach little ones, in my opinion.

LBAM, sorry about AF. I agree with the other ladies, sometimes it can just take time for no apparent reason. You never know, there may be something going on, who knows. Maybe the stress, maybe something minor. But also, sometimes it just takes time. If you've been a year, yes, definitely go to the doc. And don't overlook your DH....this is unlikely, because you have 5 kids, but sometimes sperm can change and take a downward spiral for various reasons, things as small as your DH having a minor internal infection that has elevated his white blood cell count, something he'd never know because you don't feel sick. Not to freak you out at all, just take it from me, don't consider that it's necessarily your issue. (I'm such a male factor nerd now, sorry.) But seriously, I know a ton of couples whom it took like a year to get pg with their 3rd or 4th for some random reason. Keep your chin up, and definitely start using some opks if you aren't so you can pinpoint your O well.

OK, so redtube is the one. I've actually heard of that before. I think I may have to check it out myself so I can see what's out there. My best friend is a bit of a perv, and she lent me this dvd last night that she used to watch with her boyfriend, but it was not my cup of tea. A lot of anal sex and bjs I don't particularly care for watching that over and over. She was saying lots of porn is more male-oriented so it has lots of that stuff but you just have to find what turns you on. I'm learning, and thanks for the tips! I think it's a good thing to explore some of this stuff when you've been ttc for almost 2 years and it gets to be a chore sometimes!

I have these AWFUL cramps again today, they are taking my breath away. I'm 5dpo, and of course, doubt we made a baby this month as usual, but what the heck???? I don't want to go back to my doctor, but I'm thinking about it. I hope I don't have endrometriosis or something now.

[Flava]

lola- any good news for DH?

[auroara78]

Lola, I def. agree that you need to find what makes it spicy for you! There are def. certain kind of porn that gets me more riled up, and others that I'm just like "really??" and it looks more like a weird science experiment to me.

In my early part of the preg. I was feeling totally cut off down there but since I entered my 2nd trimester it's bee nuts how much I think about it, and how my dreams are explosions of one long...you know. Just nuts. One night I dreamt the entire night about sex, even though i had to get up and go pee 3 times, I went back to bed and the dreams resumed, lol. They never involve my DH....poor him, lol.

Bec, I'm glad you got the answers you were looking for. I hope it did indeed give your DH and you some closure.

Flava, good to see you...you've been quiet on our due date group...we love hearing from you!
