If Junebugs weren't so UGLY, I'd make us a small JuneBug Banner. xD But well, we'll stick with summer suns.

So, my period only lasted three days. Weird. I'm officially done and day 1 post period, starting first cycle off BCP. We'll be using condoms this month, even though I'm charting, because I have no idea WHEN I will ovulate, IF I ovulate. If my cycles return steadily and I'm around the "typical" range for ovulation, I will ovulate on the cruise.

Which, of course, has led to major discussion of, "Should we try on the cruise or should we pack condoms?" Granted, maybe I won't ovulate at all. Maybe I'll ovulate later or earlier than I 'should.' But it's been something we've been chatting about all weekend.

I keep telling myself, don't put the cart before the horse. See how this month goes and decide after that. lmao. I bought a set of Ovulation tests for this month, just in case temping doesn't reveal anything/I screw up up, whatever. I'm curious, mostly, to see if I do yet.

Anyone who's off and tracking it - how long did it take you to start ovulating when you dropped BC? I know it's different for everyone, I'm just nosy.

I'm on my 2nd cycle after stopping BCP, and I don't think I ovulated last cycle at all. I haven't ovulated this cycle yet so I'm not sure. We'll see! I did an ovulation test yesterday and there was no LH detected at all. I'll try again tomorrow I think. I'm predicted to ovulate on the 14th. We did the BD today and yesterday. (I'm being really naughty and using softcups!)

Sorry, I know junebugs are ugly, but the name is cute! LOL!

Ugh! I am so broody right now. Maybe it's because I am getting ready to ovulate.

Hahaha no don't be sorry! I love the name. If you want, I can do a little siggy not using a JUNE bug but like, another bug? I can try, anyway. Though summer suns would still probably be most appropriate since some of us (like me) will probably be trying foreverrrr. lmfao.

Aw, I'm sorry you feel broody! I hate days like that. >.<

I believe we picked middle names today.

Nevin Alexander and Aria Evangeline are top choices (s t a r r is the last name lol). But we're still tossing around middle names for Aria. We shall see!

What's a soft cup?

Oh yes, and Aria Ailise is second (pronounce uh-lees - spelled elise or elyse to some). I'm Irish and I love more 'traditional' Irish names (lol) but hubby wants something he'll be able to spell and pronounce, whereas I love them exotic and well, yeah. So we're compromising.

Anyone else from the Junebugs have name ideas?

We've graduated!

I really like those names. Very pretty. I'm mostly Irish too, but DH's family is Russian. I'm afraid to pick something Russian because they will sound foreign! Not that there's anything wrong with that, but our last name is Mokriakow (pronounced Mo-creek-oh in America), so if we went with something like, say, Nadja, it would probably be assumed that we are all Russian. I've always loved the name Emily Christine (Christine is mine and my mom's middle name so I want to pass that on). I know it's plain but I love it. I cannot come up with a boy's name though. I don't know if it is because I've always pictured myself having a little girl first or what.

Let me post a link for the softcups I use, I am horrible at describing them.http://www.softcup.com/. They were designed for AF but when you put one in right after BD'ing it holds the spermies up next to the cervix so they get where they need to go. No worries about any falling out, and you can sleep with it in or go about your daily activities. They look huge and intimidating but are really easy to use. I plan on using them and Pre-seed once we actively start TTC.

I bought some softcups yesterday and tried one out. It was very easy to insert and I didn't feel it once it was in. I plan on using that with our self insemination we will be doing to keep the spermies next to the cervix.

I have a girl's name picked out and would love to use it, but not sure if we will end up going with it or not. For the girl's first name.... Zoey. I just love it. It flows well with baby daddy's last name too!!

Some good things happened this week:
My sister bought me some Irish baby booties this week. Can't wait to see them. Plus my co-worker offered her car seat, stroller, and high chair to me for super cheap ! So cool !! It will save lots of $$

So happy we are all here to support each other in this journey !! It's nice to have people to lean on. Fortunately, my 2 sisters know I'm WTT and are already super supportive. Family is the best

Sorry I'm rambling but don't get much time to be on here and once I do I need to get caught up with all your posts!!

Love the Irish names. My brother named his girl Aoife (pronounced Eva), and I love it. He named his son (RIP... ) Ruari Padrig (pronounced Rory Patrick) We are from Ireland originally.

have a great monday everyone, good night !



I just love this icon ! hehe
