first cycle actively trying (June 2015)

[mininun1]

You know what they say, Esperanza - when you aren't focusing on something so much, it happens! Fx that it happens for you this cycle, but if not, you will have so much fun with the wedding.

Bfn this morning with a CB digi. Now started spotting. Looks like I'm out. But at least that means I can get the surgery. AND I'm getting the surgery a week earlier than I planned so maybe we will try in August. (haven't informed hubby of that yet ) maybe I won't tell him and I'll just initiate around the time I should ovulate so he doesn't have any performance anxiety. Hehe.

Sorry about the bfn gina! Our little group is sooo due!
Are we cycle buddies now? I started spotting this am too lol.
Oh well...just really thought the clomid would get us a bfp this month. I'll get over it though. Thanks for the love mini How is your week going?

 

[mininun1]

We are definitely due up for a BFP! Watch us all get one next month. I'm doing good, ttcdfw, thanks! AF is due Sunday morning...and while I'm fully expecting her to arrive with guns blazing, based on my symptoms, it's still going to suck. Preparing myself by buying a bottle of wine and cheesecake

 

[ttcdfw]

Oh yes, we are celebrating hubby getting a financial license he needed today so steaks with broiled bleu cheese and roasted mushrooms on top, potatoes potatoesand WIME for me!! It's the little things!

Yummy that sounds good! I wentirely to a wedding last night for my friends. I know I'm a terrible person but it made me so much happier with how my own wedding turned out haha. I thought for sure knowing the bride they would have blown ours out of the water! Still spotting today. Getting crampy. AF should definitely be here soon. If she doesn't come until tomorrow I will be back to my 28 day cycles which makes things so much easier to predict. Hoping for bfp for us all next month!!!

 

[mininun1]

Lol Gina I do the same thing at weddings! That's funny. Maybe AF will arrive tomorrow for you and then we will be on the exact same cycle. I thought I would be starting early because of all the cramping and lower back pain this morning. ..but no sign yet. Probably right on the dot tomorrow.

 

[ttcdfw]

arrived today. Knew she was coming but....grrr


We didn't really have a wedding because I don't speak to my side of the family. We eloped and it was perfect for us. Don't regret one minute - EXCEPR - it was fall and I couldn't find an ivory or white dress ANYWHERE so I wore Navy. Not my favorite but we did look nice.

 

[mininun1]

Boo for AF arriving! On to August. Any minute now for me. We originally planned on eloping, but ended up having a medium sized wedding lol. Navy is a great fall color! We did dark purples and burnt orange/yellow, since our wedding was Halloween weekend. Fall is my favorite season.

 

[gina236]

AF is here for me too here's to August. We went back and forth with our wedding. We were going to do a backyard wedding at his parents house but ended up deciding we didn't want to put all that clean up and prep on them so we went with a venue. A little less that 100 people (almost all family, my side is HUGE lol) I kept saying last night that as long as they were happy with it that's all that matters. I loved our wedding. I wish we could do it again. Exactly the same lol.

 

[ttcdfw]

I love fall, too! And winter. I'm on the hunt for a Christmas tree since last year we were on our honeymoon over Christmas. Our wedding date is 10/12/14 and we were officially married at 8 am lol. We are nerds, what can I say.

Where in TX do you live mini? I am in Ft Worth.

Here's to August, girls! Wouldn't it be super cool if we all got BFP's in Aug??

 

[Esperanza2015]

Wow! Many nice stories about weddings!
I will also have a fall wedding....I have to say I would have been Ok with eloping! But here I am...trying not to become a bridezilla and not letting my own family stress me! It will be something with 80 people and its a bit stressful since my family will come from South America to Belgium for that.
I think I will be happy when its all over.
Cheers for August ladies....the lovely ones with AF now please enjoy a glass of wine in my behalve!
Enjoy life and relax because that BFP is just around the corner!
Am also thinking this way...actually not thinking that this will be the month but visualizing myself in 2016 with a bump!
Cheers to that!!!

 

[mininun1]

Ttcdfw I'm in Houston! We visited Ft Worth in March and loved it. Lots of great history!

That's a great mindset, Esperanza- instead of focusing on the specific month, thinking of a baby bump in 2016. I'll have to start doing that! No AF for me yet, probably tomorrow morning. I'm ready to get started with August, and for all of us to get our BFP's.

 

[ksierra44]

Hey ladies....sorry that we all got BFN but on to August!

 

[ttcdfw]

Hey ksierra! Hope you're having a great weekend!

Oh wow, so close; yet so far away mini! LOL
I actually love Houston, myself - the trees and 'woody' feel are awesome. We have family in Kingwood and other suburbs of Houston....it's lovely!

I went shopping with my aunt today and got a bunch of fun stuff for my classroom...I love BTS shopping! I am sad for the summer to come to a close (19 days!) but am so excited for the upcoming school year. I found out that I will be our team leader this year in 2nd grade...I am not sure what to expect, but hope that I can do a good job.

What were you girls up to today?

 

[mininun1]

That sounds like fun, ttcdfw! I'm definitely ready for fall to get here, I'm already excited for Halloween and Christmas lol. We ran errands yesterday and cleaned the house today. Kinda taking it easy since when my family gets here Friday it will be crazy! Fun though.

Yes I love Houston, and Texas in general. We moved here from Missouri three years ago and I doubt we will ever leave. So much to do and see!

 

[gina236]

Don't you guys rush my summer away! Haha I live in CT. Winter is horrible! I'm spending my weekend packing up my kitchen. We will be completely gutting it and redoing it as soon as the new cabinets come in which should be in about a week. We are getting our house ready to sell so redoing the kitchen, roof and little odds and ends.

 

[mininun1]

That's exciting, Gina! Sounds like a lot of work though. Have you found your new place for after you sell your house?

 

[gina236]

Nope we plan to take the profit from this house and buy a fixer upper cash. I bought this as a forclosure 2.5 years ago. Finally getting it ready to sell. We will be staying at his parents house in between houses. Unless my brothers tenants move out (he owns a duplex). Really hoping we can go that option and not have to live with my in laws. They are okay in moderation. 24/7 will be really hard! Lol.

 

[mininun1]

I totally understand lol. Hopefully you don't have to do that option. Dh and I want to purchase a house to rent out at some point down the road- I don't see it happening anytime soon but I think real estate would be really fun and hopefully profitable.

 

[gina236]

I've always been into real estate. we plan to flip a few houses and hopefully be able to buy a dream house with the profits. Then I would love to own an apartment house. One of these days I will get my realtor license. I tend to start things and never finish them so I've been hesitant to start that process but I think I'd love it. Being able to bring in some money while being A mostly stay at home mom would be so nice.
