JKL, Christopher James is my nephews name! 
He actually has two middle names. Christopher James Mathew. We call him CJ.
Girls, if you look on page 45 of my journal, you can see the names we are debating over. And you can vote

Hi Somedaymama,
My kids are 17, 13, 9, and 6. I have no idea how long we've been trying. It's a long story! I've wanted another for years, but when I asked my husband for our 4th he said yes, as long as I don't ask for a 5th.
So technically I didn't ask...I only voiced how nice it would be to have another. And he kept letting me know how that would never happen. I started praying for God to soften his heart to the idea (IF it was God's will). So January of last year hubby told me that he felt God was speaking to his heart about having another! God is good! He told me he felt like his reasons for not having another were selfish and didn't make much sense. A few days later we went out on a "date" and while waiting for our dinner to arrive I told him how happy I was that we were going to be trying for another. Oh my, did I get a rude awakening! He informed me he didn't say we would TRY. He said it was in God's hands. Of course I acted like a girl and cried. But it was obvious we weren't on the same page, maybe not even the same book. God still had work to do! LOL.
So at first, I didn't pay attention to dates or when O would come. I don't know when we crossed over from ntnp to actually TRYING to conceive. I do know that the last 2 months we've made a really good effort at making a baby! Two months of charting/temping and this cycle I used OPK's. Hubby and I are on the same page. Now we're waiting on God.
How long have you ladies been trying?

Welcome taebomama! 
what a great story, I will pray for you on your ttc mission!
JKL woooooohoooooooooo!!! So pleased for you honey! Huge congrats!!
I love the names john/jack as it has a lot of family significance to my husbands family so if we had a boy it would be jack. ( He is a chrristopher john and also on his paternal side is alexander, caleb and nathaniel so amy of those I like!)
Girls, I love imogen or isabella but my name is a flower class navy ship ( long story but was my grandfathers choice who was a big cheese in the british navy) and I would love to keep the unusual flower names on. Not poppy or daisy but an unusual one. I found another flower ship called celandine which I think is cute but doesn't work with my surname, too many S sounds!
Guppy - I love savannah, very pretty and boys I think caleb too.
Sayuri -
Napoleon is an awesome name! If my DH chose the name from his favourite show I would have a baby homer or bart!!!
I have still been feeling nauseous on and off but not clamped to the loo yet so who knows, it could be a symptom??
ray: well, 2 days till period is due so will wait and see...
Rdy and willy- how you doing my poas sisters? Anyone crumbled yet? :wink:
Anyhoo, loves to all of you. Xxx

TaeBoMama, now that you are "trying," I hope you get your 
very soon! I think it's good that you had time for you and your DH to get on the same page.
This is our 15th month of trying, but not our 15th cycle - I have long, irregular cycles, so I've had about 10 cycles in that time. I have an appointment with a RE on Friday to find out what is going on with me. I'm hoping to have a baby by Christmas 2010!

TaeBoMama, i remember you from my testing thread 
so lovely to see you here! what a wonderful story about how God has made your dream of TTC another baby a reality 
you're sure to be blessed with a little bean soon!
JKL!! I am so happy for you!! praise be to God!
somedaymama, congrats on ovulating! i am really glad that you have an appt. with the RE. it cant hurt to get things checked out! a very good friend of mine recently fell with her second after nearly a year of trying. the first baby took just as long and as soon as she had had that initial assessment with the fertility specialist, she fell pregnant naturally! then the same thing happened the second time except it happened whilst she was waiting for her appointment! I think that because of the fact that someone was willing to help, it enabled her to relax enough for her body to let it happen. She has very irregular cycles too and doesnt always ovulate. LOL i am rambling now, sorry, just never ever give up hope!

Hi im_mi,
You're the reason I'm here. I kept seeing your team banner on your posts and I finally went looking for this awesome team.
I'm really sorry about your recent loss. Prayers are being sent your way.

sorry for the rambling post... 
Lots of thoughts today, I just need to get them out!
I have been contemplating going back to OPKs or getting a fertility monitor. Before, I used first response regular ov tests and first response ov test strips. I'm not sure if this is becuase I didn't use them right (maybe diluted it by drinking too much water) or if it is because I just didn't ovulate those months. I wasn't charting at the time so it is hard to say.
I think if I go back to using opks, I'm going to get the digital ones. So here is the next problem. Those things are crazy expensive!! I don't mind spending the money if it will bring me results, but I'd hate to take the tests for 2-3 weeks (because my ovulation is so irregular), spend $50-$75 on them, and then not even ovulate that month.
So then...I started thinking that maybe a ovulation monitor would be cheaper in the long run. Unfortunately, from my understanding, the clear blue monitor only works for cycles up to 42 days. My cycles are sometimes only 42 days, but other months like this month and last month are longer. I haven't checked into any other monitors yet--has anyone here used one they like? Someone mentioned possibly getting the ov watch...I think maybe it was willynilly (?). Did you end up getting it?
Also: for those of you that have been to see a RE, what happened? what should I expect? I know I definitely want them to test my thyroid and also test for Celiac's/gluten intolerance.
