I got back my Cheri prediction

I should preface this by saying that after I'd gotten AF this month, DH expressed his feelings about maybe wanting to put TTC on hold. I was sooooo upset, but we talked about it & I think we're still going to continue. He'd felt the stress of ttc was really getting to me & also because we're planning to buy a house in a year & it might be better to wait till after we're already settled. I can see his point, but I also don't want to put it on hold!

So here's what Cheri said:

<span style="font-family:Book Antiqua">They show the number 11, so this is either the 11th month ttc or the 11th month meaning November and GIRL..(so either birth month, concieve mornth or the month you find out in) and It hink that he is just saying that he might want to put things on hold because hes seeing how stressful ttc is and its taking its toll on you both.. perhaps taking a `mental`break from it might actually be really beneficial. They do show you taking clomid or the like for concieving. I think that its more about the nerves or stress for the delay and not really any fertility issues.</span>

I asked a couple of other non TTC-related questions which were somewhat accurate. So we'll see what happens. She did nail my DH on the head about his always having a timeline & a need for things to be a certain way first. He's forever planning things 6 years in advance!

So this whole 11th month could make sense either way. July will mark our 11th month (technically) & I won't O till about July 4th. And November (11th month of the yr) could make sense because that's when we went to see my gyn. So that'd mark a year & I could see her doing some kind of testing or medical intervention (i.e. the Clomid).
Also, Brooke said girl back in February too. I hope so

(Congrats on #4000)

I hope that her prediction means July for conception!!

I hope so too! If we conceive in November, I'd be due in August (same month I was born!). I REALLLLLY didn't want to be due in July or August because of the heat.
But I'll be happy either way. I'm not basing everything off of a prediction (because Brooke was wrong too) but maybe it'll help me to relax if I *think* I may need Clomid afterall (even though I O just fine) & I can't go for any testing until Nov anyway.

My DS was born in August and it actually wasn't that bad. I still took DD to the zoo on hot days and things like that. You just have to remember to keep water with you. I recommend partially freezing it in advance so you can put it against your wrists/neck to help cool off if the heat starts to get to you. I didn't have hot flashes though which I imagine would make it worse. Either way, I hope she's right!
