TTC girl- August 2012

[HopeandDreamG]

Although starting the ttc thread has not brought me luck so far, I can't help but think it will. I had to skip July (and several other months this past year) and I'm so ready for august and my next cycle..... So here we go AGAIN...join me

I've got my first attempt in August :-)

My attempt #2 will be in August! Thanks for starting the thread, H&D!!
Wishing everybody lots of luck!!

If we get pregnant in August, we'll have May babies!! May babies are the sweetest...I know because I was one!! LOL!! (Totally kidding) But seriously, we'll miss the worst of the summer if we get pregnant now!!

Not me :-\ im in the Southern hemisphere. Not too hot in summer where Im from though and I shouldn't be too big yet.

Ahhh...you're very lucky! Here its pretty dang hot. One of my boys was born at the end of August...I remember sitting in the kiddie pool in the backyard, eating popsicles with my oldest while waiting for him to be born. I looked like a whale, but I didn't care. LOL.

Good luck ladies!!

I can verify that this summer has been cruel on my huge belly and me...I am always hot hot hot! I think May is beautiful month too to have a birthday! Mine and my DS2 share April, and it's nice too. Love spring.

Hi ladies hope you don't mind me joining you. This is a little info about me. I have 3 boys and I'm ttc girl I'm on cd6 so getting ready for 2nd try. I've been doing diet 90% supps mag,cal,etc. my main question is; with all my boys we dtd every other day from af to af is that fr? What shall I do this time? My dh is 45 so I don't think he will be willing to do fr and I'm not sure if absence will be good either please advise if you have any ideas !!! Ph currently 5-6 using replens or refresh. Ps I hope I'm in right place
I hope you mind me joining in

Abstinence is definitely not the way to go for a 45 yr old man. I would do FR for as much as he's capable. My DH is 40 and that's pretty much our plan. Too much will just result in no pregnancy and I know this from our experience last month.
The trick with trying for a girl is reducing fertility, but not reducing it so much that you don't get pregnant at all.
Atomic recommends Rephresh over Replens...Rephresh is used every 3 days after AF...it last longer and lowers the ph of everything it comes in contact with.
Hope this helps.
Welcome to the group.

Hi Everyone! Hope you don't mind me jumping in I've got 2 amazing boys and I'm swaying for a girl, my first attempt is coming up! I'm on CD 2, I suspect that I'll O on Aug. 10th...the very same day that I leave for a weekend away without my DH. Terrible timing! All I can do is DTD on the 9th or as soon as I get back on the evening of the 11th. If I wait till I'm home again, I'm worried I'll miss the egg. I was hoping for O+12 but I don't want to miss the month by being picky. What would you guys do in my shoes? I've been experimenting with Rephresh and I find it works well for me but makes it tough to monitor the CM because it causes a curdled milk CM. (tmi) YUCK! This swaying stuff is exciting but nerve-wracking! I've been researching for months! Good luck to you all, pink dust for everyone!

I can't believe August is almost here! We're not doing FR -- dh is over 40 and we just haven't had much luck with it. Our schedule right now looks like we won't have a chance for an attempt this month at all, but we'll see. I'm going to be more strict about the diet this month, and just keep my fingers crossed that we have the opportunity and that our timing is right.

FX for all of us!
