August Thread for TTC Blue - Chit Chat!

[LolaInLove]

Awww, another gone to school! I know how you feel about hoping no one teases her, poor thing. I bet she will be just fine, get her big sissies to teach her how to stick up for herself! Hummus is a spread/dip made from garbanzo beans or chickpeas with onion and some other spices blended in. It's delish, one of my favorite things, and has protein and cards in it, as it's a legume. You can buy it in little tubs in the store. My girls love it, too, especially with pretzels or pitas. It's good on bread products and veggies.

I think some girls are missing from here...Like where is zivic? And what happened to Fab?? She is just all gone...

[Flava]

I love Hummus too! Do you make your own ever? I was curious about doing that.

I love decorating. I was obsessed when I did DD's room!!! I cant wait to do another room!! I cant wait to get pregnant!!

[begonia]

ZB is back I'm pretty sure! I saw her post the other day I think?

Flava I second the rec on dipping veg in hummus! So good and EXTRA good for TTC boy! Re: the smileys those are what I used too, but if you pop the stick out of the test thing you can see your fade in pattern just like on a normal non-digital OPK. Have you ever tried that? It might help. But Lola is right too ... nothing wrong with just BD every other day. Have you done that with any of your girls? I know #4 was 1 time O day, and I remember one of them was BD every day. But I think the every other day is good for optimal sperm count and you'll should get w/in 24 hours of your O that way. Seems best of both worlds to me!

Lola sorry your mama doesn't seem to get the depths of the pain with infertility. Soul destroying is probably the best word I've ever heard put to it. And it isn't like I have a clue what it would be like personally I just have a ton of empathy for people going through it as one of my BFFs took 2.5 years. Oh it was hard! And I agree, NTNP is really only if you are kinda "whatever we'll get pg when it happens" and not on like, a CLOCK. No. You are definitely in a situation where you are TRYING and there is no just "whatever" about it. I'm keeping my hopes set on a healthy BFP for you this time around.

So my healthy eating yesterday didn't continue today. The hormones disrupted me yet again and drove me to have a chocolate malt, french fries and a grilled cheese for lunch. *sigh*. I don't even enjoy eating like that, KWIM? It's just what goes down easiest. I was WAY happier yesterday eating my lentils and salad. Hoping tomorrow is another good day.

Oh my goodness on the decorating front we are building a house right now so I have to pick colors for every single room, LOL! And the exterior! I just went and got a crazy mad amount of paint chips to try to decide what to do. DD1 keeps nabbing them for art projects :-)

[Flava]

begonia -I never did it every day that's so not me.LOL
DD1 was 2 times in 2 days. So just 24 hours apart. DD2 was 2 time in 1 night ;P DD3 was just 1 try and DD4 also 1 try swim up.
But I don't want to try every other day because Im scared what if I start to early and get a bfp from that and that's ttc girl right?

You know it's a OWT that if you eat more junk food when you pregnant it's a boy.

4Blue-never tried a BS douche. I may try that next time if I still have creamy cm, but not with the watery cm.

Lola-I'm not sure if it was post-O cm or not. I always get lots of creamy cm at O, it's how I always knew I was Oing before charting and all. But I did use the Preseed, so hopefully that cancelled it out! Gosh I hope so! I'm just worried the sperm won't be able to swim through my cm (and this is what I feel has caused me not to conceive so far).

I'm trying to think ahead to next month and I think I will get the Royal Jelly and maybe Bee Pollen. I've heard of other ladies on my other board that have "hostile cm" like me that it has turned hers to watery so far. She's had to turn to IUI because of her cm. I hope it doesn't come to that for me because if it does, I'm SOL cause we definitely can't afford it. Our insurance doesn't cover any infertility treatments. I worry too much lol.
