The One Year Strong Ladies!

i dont know much about the men an dsperm cout stuff, but i did read that if you want to increase your chances of twins to eat lots of sweet potatoes/yams......they contain some sort of enzyme that is supposedly linked to the release of more than one egg at ovualtion!

I swear I posted a response but now I can't see it... Zinc is meant to help with spermies... You can get supplements but it's probably easier to eat food with high sinc content.

Hey ladies

I'm 9-10 dpo and just tested and got a BFN! Oh well.... My bb's have been killing me and I feel like I'm having af cramps.... That being said, I aways have sore bb's before af .. My temp actually rose to 98.4 today instead of 98.3 yesterday, so that's the only good thing...

 

[HappiestMom]

yay for you MrsSimp...sending baby dust your way...

Cottleston yeah I think he takes zinc...I guess Im just going to overload him on healthy stuff lol...and make sure he stays hydrated..he already knows that after tomorrow no more smoking his pipe is allowed until Im into the TWW...I wish he would stop altogether but he wont so the only compromise I can get him to agree with is no pipes before actually TTC each month

Im expecting a late wedding present in the mail sometime this week..I hope it gets here early so I can go get some more Pre-seed...lol...

Making him chili and some corn muffins and a salad for dinner..not sure what I want yet...I wish I had a metabolism lol...

do you know how to delete posts once they are made?

 

[HappiestMom]

umm...I think you have to ask the admin to delete it..and tell them why...what did you do...post something embarrassing? lol.. and why are you currently feeling "shocked"?

 

[busymommy]

i have been shocked since i got the positive test and havent changed it yet lol, and i wnated to delete some psots that i have written to you that had more personal info in it than i wanted....no biggie =) im over it now. just had a momentary surge of anxiety

You may not be able to delete posts but you should be able to edit them and delete the content.

CottlestonPie! Your baby is the size of a cantaloupe! AMAZING!

 

[CottlestonPie]

I know! I don't think I even knew how big one of those was until today!
So I'm officially halfway. And it's still not properly sunk in yet despite bubs kicking me right in the cervix earlier. Ouch!
How you feeling? Can't believe you're almost in 2nd already!

If I have a post I dnt want, I edit it to delete the text and replace them with ... or something.

 

[HappiestMom]

I'm feeling ok... That's amazing that you can feel the baby kicking! I think that would make it more real as right now I really don't have any symptoms (NOT complaining!) just tired, and my tummy hurts a lot if I have anything with a waistband. I've been wearing maternity pants this weekend just so nothing will push on my tummy. Tellling people on Thursday made things more real...but still seems very abstract. Our dog was sleeping against me earlier and my husband said how cute it was...I said just think in about 7 months it'll be a baby sleeping on me. His eyes got HUGE!!! I'm excited to be out of 1st trimester so I can worry less. And now that people know I'm looking forward to showing. I've kept an eye out for any bump pictures from you, but so far you haven't posted any!!! That's great about setting up the baby's bed and stuff though!

Hi ladies, How was everyone's weekend? I had a good weekend in between doing school work. DH installed a new kitchen sink and a new toilet upstairs in the guest bathroom. The old toilet was pretty gross, so I was glad to see it go. I was also doing some work around the house as well. I was trying to buff the parkay wood floors in the dining room, when the investor that sold the house to us had painted it all white, the guys dripped white paint on the floor in there.. so it is a pain trying to get them clean... ugghhhh... DH doesnt like the wood parkay floors at all, i must admit they are very 1970's, lol, but i can live with them for now.

I was thinking about looking into artificial insemination for me and DH since he has a low sperm count after his vasectomy reversal. I need to see if our health benefits will cover it. I was doing some research online about it and It seems to be the least invasive fertility option for us, since i am not a fan of being poked and prodded, but i must admit if I dont get pregnant naturally soon than I think this might be the best route for us to go. They recommend it for men with a low sperm count. I was thinking of looking into it next year, since i will be done with my degree very soon, and will hopefully have a good, steady and regular job by than as well.

Wow, Spunky and Cottlestone, your guy's pregnancies are really coming right along fast! I cant believe how fast time flys bye, before you know it your babies will be getting welcomed into the world!!!!! You guys must be so excited!!!!

 

[DaretoDream]

mrs J- the week or so wait until O?! lol i've just waited 3 WEEKS for O!

 

[HappiestMom]

lol..well I got AF Wednesday..so...Thurs/Fri we are gonna start the BD regime lol...so thats what Im waiting on..

 

[Spunky]

Wannabeprego - how long have you guys been trying now? My doc said after a year of TTC they would reccommend to a fertility specialist. Have you already been as you know DH's sperm count is low? They may send you sooner as you know you're already somewhat complicated with the reversal...

It may seem like it's flown by but it's been dragging for me! With the holidays coming up maybe time will go faster...

 

[HappiestMom]

Cottleston have you found out yet what you are having, boy or girl?

We should all make our guesses...

Im saying Girl for Cottleston and Boy for Spunky.....

 

[Spunky]

I hope you're right Erica!

 

[CottlestonPie]

I think the same! So convinced I'm having a girl. I'll let you know in a week
