TTC and Beyond!

Brit- awesome for you and DH to have some alone time and get some stuff done! We have a wedding at the end of the month and its the weedkend before my 30th so were taking advantage, that will be Kay's first overnight.

Cass- you poor thing!!! Have you been taking EPO at all? I took if from 36 weeks but a friend of mine started it on her due date and had her baby 48 hours later!

Katrina- sorry you're feeling yuck!! Funny question for you...have you ever checked you pH? We had a seminar the other day at work about vaginal pH, and how it can reduce fertility and also sway gender etc...very interesting and a very easy fix if your pH is off!! Just a thought.

Sandy-you're such a trooper!!! No way if be out camping in the summer hear that pregnant!! Props to you woman!!
 
Ya I've been taking epo orally since 36 weeks and recently started vaginally too. She's just so stubborn absolutely nothing is making her come!! Ugh.
 
:( I'm sorry love. She'll come one way or the other. Don't be scared of induction-labor is labor, it sucks either way. But at the end of it you'll have your beautiful little girl and it'll all be worth it!
 
That's what I've been telling myself. I really really wanted to attempt it all natural. I know there's a good chance it wouldn't turn out that way but I wanted to give it my best shot. I just feel like being induced completely screws that all up. I'm hoping if I have to be they can just give me cervadil and that will be enough to kick start my contractions so I don't have to use pitocin. Idk we will see. I know when it comes down to it afterwards I won't care how she got in my arms but currently it's upsetting lol. Plus I wanted that 'omg this is it that was a contraction' or 'holy shit my water broke' moment. Not going to the hospital all hooked up to everything immediately to get things started :( I'm gonna ask if they will give me a sweep tomorrow before we do anything else so fx.
 
I think my gyno did at our big appointment. I will ask when I call her though.
 
What is the gender sway part of the ph? Girl or boy?

bb- love the name Brody!

cassidy- praying your turn is soon! Petocin does suck, but its not like I ever think about it anymore now that I have Alia!

Rachel (and anyone else who hasn't had a pp af and not bf-ing/pumping anymore) - If u haven't had af yet, will u tell me your cervix position? Mine is so high I can't feel it.
 
A more alkaline environment will away boy-more acidic will sway girl. There are all kinda of sway diets and recommendations for changing your pH to sway. Thats why Preseed and stuff sway boy bc the even out pH, clomid and vitex sway girl. It's all pretty interesting!
 
Also something about moon phases-supposedly if you concieve between the new moon and full moon it sways boy and between the full moon and new moon sways girl. I've been doing a lot of research bc even though I really don't care if we have two girls, Id really love to experience one of each! :)

...although I did have a bit of a panic attack the other day when I thought " what if I get Preggo again so soon and it's twins..." LOL
 
Bb, love that name -- that is what we chose for our little guy, too. :)

Cass, I hope you go on your own!! Don't be disappointed though! You have done awesome!

Kara, that is so interesting!! Clomid didn't get me a girl though!

Brit, hope you enjoyed your time!

Brittney, how are you feeling??

I worked on decoration for the baby's room today. Waiting for the paint to dry to we can put it together! I meant to do more today, but I am beat! Hopefully tomorrow! I am so nervous about going into labor and things not being ready to my standards. I still need to get him a diaper bag now that I think of it.. project for this week! I am just so much more uncomfortable this time. And I can't breath because there is more room.. lol.
 
keeping my fingers crossed for you cass...I hope you get your natural birth but at least your setting yourself up for anything.

Sandy, You make me so tired...you are so much more productive than me lol...I always "think" about doing things around the house and somehow i never really get to those things!

I'm feeling good...not too many symptoms yet. I pee on at least one test a day haha...I got a digital today and it said Pregnant 2-3 weeks, that made me happy :)
We are planning to tell our parents soon... mine sometime next week and hubby's parent whenever we can get them on facetime since they are in Brazil. I can't wait..they are going to be sooooo excited!
 
Does a doc have to test the ph...or is there an over the counter test? Do u just swipe your bits with a ph strip or pee on it? I'd like to try for a boy. I wonder if u can change diet to help or something.
 
I think they did mine when they did the swab. I don't know how the over the counter works.
 
Britt-I totally hear ya! It was really nice when my mom watched them for the night and I got to sleep. She's the only person I would trust to watch them overnight. I know MIL could do it, but I just don't want her to. I don't like how much time she gets to spend with them now! I'm too much of a control freak to let her get that extra time with them...at least for a while. Plus I just like to be there, I'm not ready to be in a different house. Probably comes down to control issues again lol

School officially starts tomorrow...I'm not ready at all. I don't know how I'm going to balance work and being a mom. Teaching is such hard work and takes so much time. I'm not looking forward to it at all. I wish I could walk in tomorrow and put in my 2 week notice...Until then, I shall use it as motivation to get some bills paid off lol

lol i have 3 girls. i wonder if that's saying something.

good luck cassidy!

You can buy some test strips.

We originally did gender swaying but after the losses we didn't care. We just wanted a healthy baby regardless of the gender.

You have to be REALLY strict. The diet is awful! Or at least the girl one was. :lol: You need to make sure your :sex: is timed too. With a boy you only have sex day of ovulation.

Sandy great name ;)
 
Ugh Monday! September 12 cant come fast enough. That is my last day of work before baby time. At least that is the plan. I feel rough today.
