~~~Preggie Pact~~~

Well everyone knows what's going on with me because I was an AW about it What's going on with you?

KLXVI

This is the first month that I have been able to TTC and now DH is having major cold feet.  I'm still temping and using OPKs, though, to see if everything is happening normally.  I probably won't ovulate until the end of the weekend or early next week so I'm hoping that I can convince DH by then.  It's also very possible that my body isn't ready yet and that I'll have to wait a few months anyways.

Just got done with my appointment. The MW was very nice. I got my bloodwork for my thyroid, and she told me I can call in 2 or 3 more cycles to get my progesterone checked on day 21 to make sure I'm ovulating. She also said I can come in and get betas done as soon as I get a BFP, so yay! They're only there Mon thru Fri tho so no weekend testing!! She also said they will monitor my progesterone early on in case my previous losses had anything to do with that. Oh, and I asked about checking prolactin levels to make sure bfing wasn't interfering, and she said that if it was I wouldn't be having cycles. So I guess I won't worry about it and I'll just keep nursing J til he weans. She just said make sure I stay hydrated and keep my calorie intake up. I really want a summer baby. I know I can't plan like that, but I would really like to have one when t doesn't interfere with school, and I don't have to worry about crappy winter weather. That doesn't give me much time tho

FYI, if you don't ovulate on cycle day 14, then getting progesterone checked on cycle day 21 won't prove or disprove that you're ovulating. That b/w should be done on 7 DPO.

Also Yay! that they're willing to check levels early for you!

Oils absorb into the skin really quickly. I would avoid it if possible. After your post, I did some quick googling & checking my oils book & they all said to avoid. Thanks for the heads up on the Waxelene. I didn't even think to check! I buy 2oz spray bottles from AromaTools & I think they are around $.85. Perfect size for the diaper bag.

We use Waxalene at almost every change, too. It doesn't seem like there would be a high concentration of EOs in it, because it is safe for babies. You're probably getting way less than a drop of EO with each change. The DIY stuff would be a lot more concentrated.

Bumping this for today! Preggie Pact Day!

@stringy813, how's your ute?

stoneycakes

I'm trying to figure out when day 1 of my cycle started because I had three days of spotting in the beginning, then nothing, then BAM! AF.  I know you're not supposed to count spotting,  but I'm feeling like I'm further along in my cycle than I would be if I only counted the first day of real flow.  I know you're all really interested We're not TTC this cycle, but I was going to start peeing on O sticks and I keep forgetting.

@stringy813, when I posted that gif yesterday, that is the legit face I made when I read your post.  Just though you should know.

Is it? Even without any meds? It was like 20 minutes of her time to stick it in there. But I guess that is how it rolls...

I won't even tell you how much I paid for the exact same 20 minutes.  Spoiler alert... it had more digits than your number.  For the procedure only, nothing else.

Speaking of that, there will be no baby making this month. So I'm drinking all the coffee to console myself. That only gives me 2 months for my summer baby

I wanted a September baby for my last one.

I got a November baby.  If we have a third (big if), I want a June or July baby.

I love you all, but this comment makes me sick.  I wanted a 2009 baby.  I was thrilled and blessed to have a 2012 baby.
And now I'll see myself out of this thread because I had no business being here in the first place.  I was just stalking stringy's ute.

Good luck, Stringy!

Good luck, Stringy!

I'm on day 19 and still no ovulation.  My temps are very level and negative OPKs so far.  My first cycle was 34 days and my few cycles before L were 32 days so I guess I'm still in the normal range.  DH is on board with TTC now, too.  Now, I just need to ovulate...

I was all set to just have 2 kids. Then DH keeps talking about how we're done now, right? And so of course I am having second thoughts. Ack!

Right there with you.  Except my husband started the idea by saying he wouldn't mind 3 or 4....

This is me.  MH is dead set on being done (unless we foster/adopt later) but as I watch P grow, all I can think about is I.want.all.the.babies.

I agree. And I'm not mad about it. But I guess you are if you're bringing it up hours later. The original comment just came across as disappointed in a 2 month delay. And it was a little painful to read.

I think you worded your feelings about still wanting the July baby you deserve really well. My first baby should be the same age as my nephew. Every time I see him I can't help but think what if and think it isn't fair. But I wouldn't trade E for anything.
