This'll be the month to remember, with BFPs in September!

Lol Waves- By me?!! We're in a suburb of Columbus

Nahhh, it was 2 hours west of me near Toledo I believe.

Okay, probably way TMI, but I'm a little worried AF is too heavy .. like changing tampons every hour to at most two since 6 am.. it was like that for about three days last cycle, too. Totally new for me. It never used to be this heavy. Should I be concerned that something is wrong?

My periods were so much heavier after pregnancy. After my first daughter, it was heavier than before I got pregnant. And then once I had my second daughter, it was even worse (each cycle, not just that first one after) than it was before her. They say you tend to have worse periods after having kids so that may be all it is. Just watch out for large clots.

Speaking of names...

On my girl list is: Katherine (I'd call her Kate though). I had 6 more but now that I'm looking at them, I don't like them anymore lol. They were Erin, Clara, Claire, Ella, Norah, Colleen. For middle names I really like Paige & Olivia.

On my boy name list is: Joshua & Noah. We wanted Joshua Harlow (OH's middle name & his grandfather's first name - Harlow) but I'm not sure if I'm 100% on Joshua this time. We'll see though.

So talkative girls

So I've just woken up, I had a dream that I was pregnant but didn't find out until 37 weeks! Gutted when you wake up to find its not true

Still cramping on and off and sore boobs. Monday I went for a 2 hour nap with my son then fell asleep on the sofa that night. I fell asleep on the sofa again last night. I'm so tired! Hoping its a good sign.

As for names. We don't have any yet really! We only had 1 name for our son and that was Tristan! We prefer names that aren't too popular (We are in the UK) so that was a good choice plus we both loved the name! I like Aria for a girl but Hubby isn't keen. We did like Ava but its too popular now so I've gone off it. We have Alanna for a girls middle name after my sister who died at birth. For boys we have nothing as of yet!

[clynn11]

Those are the ones I got

 

[chimmi]

Just had one of the worst nights sleep... After we DTD I didn't get up to go to the bsthroom at all. SLept with a pillow under me. So tired today, hope it was worth it. Anyone else do this?

 

[Rozzer]

Wow, I missed so much while at work today!

My plan this month is:
1. Fertility smoothies with coconut oil, spinach, lsa, maca and berries
2. Bd every other day
3. Preseed
4. Opks cb digi
5. Bbt

I think that's all
We're away for o day I think. On cd8 at the moment, about 12 days to go until o!

 

[ricschick]

wow talkative as ever lol
we in the past have always found out what we were having but this time we may not find out as we have a girls and our boy so we don't mind either way! it just depends if hubby has the patience to wait lol
hubby loves the name Georgia for a girl so that's top of the list so far! Georgia violet.

 

[brunettebimbo]

I think AF is due either 9th or 13th. My cycles used to be 28-32 days before having my son.

LP was 11 days last month I think so AF probably due 9th? Does that sound right or have I worked LP out wrong? Thanks in advance!

 

[frsttimemama]

Thanks ladies! At least I'm fairly sure I won't bleed to death now.. it just isn't much fun! I'm going to ask my doctor next week though just because I'm there. Morgan, you mean you had postpartum bleeding for 13 weeks? Gosh! I bled for about 4, had an AF at almost 6 and another at almost 10 weeks (this one).

 

[morganwhite7]

Sandy- Yeah I bled way past my post-partum appt.. It was awful. After a month it was less clotty and more like light bleeding constantly.. But I think lots of that had to do with the trauma/impact of our accident.

AFM-
Ummmm this morning was freakin horrible lol. Woke up at 6 since we leave at 7:30. Puked my brains out til about 6:45 and then just stood in the shower for another while. Lol I mean truly miserable, I knew this was going to happen. Started yesterday at EXACTLY 6 WEEKS! Spot on like last time. But I didn't work last time. This should be interesting.. Lasted til 16 weeks (hyperemesis gravidarum- like princess Kate )

(Still thankful for every hurl, hopefully my bean is hard at work! )

 

[asmcsm]

BB-I took a look at your last chart and your lp last month was 11days. Your lp should pretty much stay the same, it's your o date that will change and make your cycles longer or shorter, so it looks like the 9th to me too.

Morgan that's good news! Morning sickness is definitely a good sign for your bean!

 

[jury3]

Rachel-a 3D us would be awesome! I'll have to check into it...

Katrina-I will definitely find out what it is! I was looking at baby clothes the other day, there aren't many gender neutral choices...I'm too impatient to wait! Lol

Morgan-I think Mila Willow is super pretty! We like gender neutral names. DW is Ryann, so we like names like that. Rae is one of my faves for a girl, maybe Jordan for a girl.

Sorry your ms is so bad! Hopefully that means you have a healthy little bean in there!!!

AFM-I'm just over 5 weeks and I'm already going to have to stop wearing the pants I have on...they just fit before. Today they are uncomfortable sitting. I haven't gained weight yet but I can feel something in my stomach! Is it normal to already feel like there's something there? I tried to feel it last night, might have felt it...they say its a hard ridge. Anyway...one pair of pants down, 3 to go lol

 

[mommyxofxone]

good lord. catching up.


@morgan, so glad the bleeding stopped!!! and i wasn't able to hear a hb until 10 weeks. So.... anything before that i'm jealous of lol so awesome you got your appt moved up too!!

@ashlee- nooooo!!! i so thought you were getting your bfp this cycle!!!!

@firsttimemomma lol!!! i know what you mean, i always feel like i'm goign to bleed to death. and i'm with morgan, i leave it in all night and take it out first thing in the am. I also have a tilted cervix, so i lay on my stomach at night to sleep to make sure all the friends tumble down into it.

@kiamaria - that's awesome!!!! congrats on your bfp!!!

@jury- awesome about the appt date coming up

@prgirl - seriously? she didn't know any of that? that's not exactly reassuring is it?

@bb hope the witch stays away and you get your bfp, sounds promising!!!!

@amanda- give it up, we know you're looking at porn. and ttc DOES suck. it really does. i'm so sorry.

@cassidy- awesome about your friend!!! hope she has a safe and easy delivery.

@nichole i'm so sorry about af


@ttc- it's always scary, but glad you are trying to take it easy. And what is the issue the 'we' part? my mother flips out about that, says 'we nothing it's all you' it's kind of annoying.

@bubs oh my gosh 31 weeks?! that went fast!!!!

@kara that's awesome!!! i wish my friends were in baby making mode. no one is! they're not planning to even try til spring, so they'll most likely have a 2015 baby. :/




afm- ok so i started reading and trying to catch up proper, but i was like on page 30 and it just kept freaking going, so i did a lot of proper reading but forgive me the rest!!!!!


4dpo. i feel like it's going by SO slow. my temps are staying about 97.7 and not doing much else. makes me feel negative about it all. not high enough. I'm thinking about not stressing over the temps from here til i test, because i know they don't mean anything. so if i'm up i'll test, if not, i'm not going to worry about it!

 

[asmcsm]

Ugh I know right?! It seemed like it definitely was honna happen!
Try not to get too down on your chart, look how perfect mine was and still no bfp. I've seen many charts on ff where the temps were just barely above the coverline and ended with BFPs. You're not out until shows!!

 

[mommyxofxone]

very hard not to be down! and i have NO symptoms at all. it's crazy. it's like.... nothing.


i just feel so out already.

so i'm just going to take it and wait, and figure af is coming right on time.

Morgan that's good news! Morning sickness is definitely a good sign for your bean!

Thank you

I started taking Vitamin B6 at the beginning of this cycle as I read 11 days is too small? Do you think that would effect it?

 

[frsttimemama]

Geesh Morgan! How awful, but I bet a lot of it was the trauma. How many cycles did it take you?

11 days is a little on the short side, the b6 should help. Sometimes with supplements it can take a couple months though, but maca got my cycle back in shape the first month so I'd say its definitely possible.

oh morgan I feel for you! I hope it doesnt last as long this time!
