Ladies, keep on rocking! You girls are amazing!!!!

 

[somedaymama]

Yay Guppy!

You're going to think I'm a total stalker, but I logged on to here this morning just to see if FF had detected your ovulation.

You're already 3 dpo...only 7 days left to go until your first !!

 

[Guppy051708]

One of the exciting things about TTC with others!

I cannot wait until testing!!!!!!!!

for you hun!

 

[mrskcbrown]

Hi all! My sweet husband and I have officially decided to start TTC and I was hoping to join your group. DH and I are both Christians and have been married just under two years.

Welcome to our group! We are so happy to have you!

This is week 5 of my cycle which starts tomorrow, so I can test at the end of the week possibly. I O'd like November 26 or 27, so I am techinically already about 10 dpo but since my cycles are 34 days in length, I am not due for AF until about Dec. 14. I am really hoping this is my cycle. Trying not to symptom spot but its so hard. I just keep telling myself its all in my head, but my boobs are sore on and off and thats just not normal for me. Well again good luck ladies and I hope this is finally it!!!

 

[somedaymama]

You are very strong to wait to test! I really hope that this is it for you!

Hello all!!
Sorry I have been a little distant lately. . .life has been crazy busy and I haven't been feeling the greatest. I've been having a lot of headaches lately. . .yuck! So, I will now try to play catch-up!

Guppy-Can't remember if I already said it, but congrats on you OV!!! I sure hope this is your month!! I want to see a bunch of 's this month! C'mon Christmas babies! Oh. . and I updated your test date.

mrskcbrown-Girl. . . I have no idea how not to symptom spot. .I have been trying soooo hard not too. . .but I do believe that is the hardest thing NOT to do!! Good luck on holding out to test, we are suppose to test the same day. . but I just don't know if I can wait that long!

WillyNilly-are you still planning on testing tomorrow?? I know you feel like your chances are at about zero for this month, but I was just curious.

im_mi-I agree with the other ladies. . . perhaps this is a good time to take a little break from "trying" that may just give you the relaxation you need to get your !

Aster-did you test? has AF showed yet??

Welcome parkgirl!!!

Well ladies, I am more than eager to start seeing BFP's! I have pretty much convinced myself that I'm not preggo for this month simply because of my temper. It seems to be that everything makes me so frustrated! I have had sore boobs, I'm breaking out, and I have had much more CM than usual. . . but I just don't feel like this is our month. . . .. I pray that it doesn't take us a year to conceive. . . and I'm not sure I can wait that long to make sure that the DH and I are "okay" in the baby making area. I know God has a plan, it is just getting really hard to go month to month, having sex during the right time, and still seeing a BFN. Just makes me sad. Well. . . I see have made this plenty long enough!! Hope you all have a blessed week!!

 

[somedaymama]

Rdy2BaMom, I hope you are wrong and this is your month! Everyone else, too...so many testing dates so close to Christmas!

How long have you been trying now, Rdy2BaMom? I know sometimes it doesn't seem like we can keep going another month without a , but somehow we have to make it through. We are blessed that we have God's promises to get us through. "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

I know it gets trying. Right now it seems like everyone I know is getting pregnant. I hope this month it's you!

Raschael -
Thanks for asking about me - I'm kinda down and feeling a lot like you are this month with regards to conceiving within the "year" mark. I'm just seeing all the months of birth I had planned passing by - wanted to deliver in May originally because I didn't want to be in the third trimester in the summer...then I thought June wouldn't be so bad, and oh well, July isn't as hot as August, then who cares - August - I just want a baby - then September is a beautiful time of year! etc etc. Now, I think it is so funny that I cared so much about a date.

To top it off - ALL of my cousins are pregnant recently or with precious little newborns and it makes me feel horrible.

Sorry for the rant.

I don't have much of a chance for this month - but even so, today I tested (at 13 dpo) w/ an internet cheapie -

Trying to put myself in a better mood, though - I buy myself something each month that I get a BFN. A little shopping therapy - nothing big - last month was a new hair clip. But anyway, I think tomorrow I am going to make the drive to a store which sells the OV Watch- if you buy at a store you get a free sensor...so for $100 I'm getting the watch and two months worth of ovulation sensors. I'm so praying that this will help us. I'm definitely frustrated w/ God right now - I hate to admit that my faith is so weak this month, but I'm tired of waiting and hate that life is so painful and unfair sometimes.

wow, I sound like a whiney baby today...I guess that's why I don't need a baby yet - I have to not be one myself.

but as far as you - don't get down yet - it sounds good for you - because you knew when you O'd and really timed BD well, right? I have a good feeling for you, actually. sorry about the headaches - am thinking and praying for you.

I hope this is an awesome month for all the rest of you girls.

Immi - thinking of you lots.

 

[Willynilly]

Well, umm - since it's not happening for me anytime soon - and i still like to plan and talk all things baby -
anyone wanna do the baby name stuff?

dh and I are pretty set on ours...
Finnian (call him Finn mostly) and Phoebe - I LOVE the way Paul speaks about her
Message version
Romans 16
1-2Be sure to welcome our friend Phoebe in the way of the Master, with all the generous hospitality we Christians are famous for. I heartily endorse both her and her work. She's a key representative of the church at Cenchrea. Help her out in whatever she asks. She deserves anything you can do for her. She's helped many a person, including me.

My midwest family makes fun of the name Finnian but I don't care - we love it. My only concern is that it will be the next BIG name -as I've heard a lot of girls and boys being named things like Finley, finnigan, etc.

anyhoo - thoughts on my names? be brutally honest. I can take it. and also - what names are you all considering?

So you have to wait a year to be tested? I know this has to be hard! Hopefully I misunderstood what you were saying. I feel the same as you. I just dont know how many more months I can take seeing BFN's. My RE says we have the option of IUI but it can be expensive, and IVF not even on our radar! I got the sore boobs and exhaustion! I know God has a plan but it is hard. My DH wants this bad too and sometimes blames things in the past on us not conceiving. He goes from being patient to frustrated, and back again! Well here's to hoping and wishing!

One way that I stop myself from testing is to simply not buy the test until the day off. I have no tests in my home period, LOL. Because if I have them I will test and I do not want to be disappointed prior to my AF getting here!

 

[mrskcbrown]

The name that I am considering for a girl is Gabriella Milee and for a boy the name we are considering is Martin Josiah. Martin after Martin Luther King, Josiah from the word of God. My 8 yr old daughter created the name for the girl, basically from characters that she loves on the Disney channel, LOL!!! But we like the names so its fine.

 

[somedaymama]

Willynilly, I'm sorry you're feeling down this month. I hope the ov watch helps you!

 

[somedaymama]

We have picked out a few names, although they could change when/if we ever have a baby!!

Our top girl choice is Magdalyn, probably Magdalyn Rose. This name is after Mary Magdalene in the Bible (with some modernized spelling ) I love how she was so far from perfect, but so in love with Jesus...she was the first person that He appeared to after raising from the dead.

Our top boy choice is Alton James. This is not for sure because my husband is the third, so we could decide to make our boy the fifth. My husband hated his name growing up, plus there is no good nicknames left to use, so hopefully we won't be naming our boy after him. (His name is Gerald--I don't want my kid to sound like he is 80, lol-- his dad goes by Jerry and my DH's family calls him Jay, but I call him Jerry. confusing enough?) Anyway, we think Alton is a good compromise because it is also an old family name, and it's just modern enough for me without being overly so.

Another girl name I like is Emma Grace.

Willynilly, I like your name choices. Finnian is certainly different, I know you said variations are becoming more common but I've never heard it!! (Except in Law and Order SVU. ) I like Phoebe too, I had forgotten it was a Bible name. (it makes me think of Friends.)

 

[Guppy051708]

We like Emily Faith and Ivan Joseph...though i have to admit I really like the name Ephraim (for a boy). It means "fruitful". Ephraim is also the place were Jesus went to get away from Bethany in the book of John. Jesus stayed there while they plotted his death. Anyways, i dont know if the DH is too thrilled with that name or not, so we will see. We were also tossing around the name Amelia too, but leaning towards Emily now, i think calling her "Emi" would be a cute nickname [emee]

 

[somedaymama]

I just found out that a friend of mine is pregnant. I am so happy for them--they will make wonderful loving, Christian parents. At the same time, I am so jealous. I know it's not right and not very Christian of me, but it's just so freakin' unfair that everyone else gets a baby and I've pretty much given up hope.

 

[Rdy2BaMom]

Thanks for the kind words everyone!! It is so nice to be able to share my thoughts and emotions with all of you. We have only been trying for 7 months, but my Dr. said she wants us to try for a year before we get tested for any complications. Ugh.

As far as names go, we have picked out Emma Faith and Jackson Daniel, my Hubby also likes the name Kimber Elise. Hope you all had a great day!!

I understand the jealousy feeling. I have a childhood friend, who is not married or even in a stable union having twins! I am happy for her but I was like "Dang God, wassup with that"? Then I had to remember that God is not a respector of persons, what he has done for her, he can do the same thing for me! Now if it would only be this month! Anywho, so remember God has not forgotten you or me for that fact! Be blessed!
