TTC #1- Looking for buddies!

[Bre1990]

Thank you. I don't really have any signs other than being tired and urinating more, but I've also been drinking more water. We'll see what the dr. states I'm gonna leave a msg with her tomorrow

 

[tbfromlv]

Aaaaand another day. 5 straight days this time of these or the one I posted yesterday.

Bre- welcome. I hope you get your BFP soon.

 

[Dream143r]

Yep TB that's clearly super positive. Don't even know what to say. Geeze.

Anyone take or have taken Evening Primrose Oil, supposed to help with fertile CM...

 

[tbfromlv]

I did for a little bit while taking Clomid since that decreases cm more. I did feel like it made a difference. I think it would be worth a try.

Hi girls,

Hope y'all had a nice weekend Sorry about CD1 Dream. Hope you're feeling a bit better.

Tb, what is going on!!!! That's very positive. Have you taken a pregnancy test just to exclude you're not pregnant?

Hi to everyone else!!

 

[Dream143r]

CD4 - temp dropped down to normal pre-O.

So in trying to find the happy side to this annoying 13th cycle of TTC I've looked ahead to see AF is due May 8th but Mother's day is 13th. Well it's my 13th cycle trying to become a mother and Mother's day is on the 13th - I'll take any glimmer of excitement I can get. lol And we have a Friday the 13th coming up in this cycle! and my HEDD would be January 13th.

This has gotta be good luck right?!

 

[tbfromlv]

Dream that sounds great! There’s always a silver lining!!

Jmack- how are you doing?

Sunny- any symptoms yet? Have you told your families?

Amber- have you been thinking of names?

 

[AmberR]

Dream- that sounds promising! I love thinking of things like that. I happen to be due on my parent's wedding anniversary. I feel like that definitely was meant to be!

Tb- yep! I have a long list of names but the ones I seem to be drawn to are Elaina for a girl and Leon for a boy. Middle names are hard though! I'm thinking I we might use DH's middle name so Leon William and then maybe Elaina Grace, just because I like the name Grace, haha. In all reality we probably won't name baby until we see him or her.

Does anyone already have names picked out? My BF had hers named way before she was even thinking about having kids!

 

[tbfromlv]

I have a girls name picked. Lol I’ve had it picked since I was 12 and DH likes it so we are good. It’s Kaydence (not set on the spelling) boy names we have been playing around with but nothing for sure lol. I love those names Amber! So fun!

 

[SunnyBe]

Cute names!!! I really don't know yet. It's fun to think about baby names but I'm too scared to right now, lol.

Amber, have you felt movements yet?

Tb, we told our parents. They were/are over the moon I don't really have any symptoms except fatigue (SO tired!). My mom had terrible morning sickness. On one hand, I'd be happy to stay symptom-less, but on the other, I hope I do get to experience some as it tells me there's still a baby developing inside. Ahhgg!

How's your OPK?

Dream, that would be so incredibly special! I really hope this cycle will be the one

CT (I see you're online ), how are you doing? Is it almost time?

 

[CTgirl]

Hi guys!

Sunny so exciting you told your parents, must make it so much more real. My morning sickness only started at 7 weeks so don't wish it upon yourself too soon hehe.

Amber those are gorgeous names!

Nice to read everyone else's news but of course I wish it was happier for everyone. Dream, hopefully fate will have a say this time!

TB, when will you know when you're going to Prague?

Amber, have you felt fluttering yet?

Afm, 10 more sleeps. With my diabetes she's putting on weight really quickly. She's 3.6kg so just under 8 pounds and putting on 300g (10 ounces) a week! Her abdomen is larger than average so even though she's a bug baby it doesn't mean she's a strong baby, just that she's weighty from the sugar.

My doctor went through the whole cesarean procedure with us so we are feeling ready and excited. It's happening next Friday (20th) at 1.30pm. So weird that I know what time and day my baby will be born! I finish up at work this Friday and am really looking forward to relaxing (or trying to) for a few days before she arrives!

Love to you all

 

[Dream143r]

Sooooooooooooo exciting CT. The countdown is on! I love it.

Ahhh baby names I've had several picked out over the years. My boy name is completely set in stone although I haven't completely cleared it with DH.

Boy:
Denzell Stanley -because Denzel Washington is everything, and Stanley was my grampa's name.
I also like Luke, Tyler and Trey

Girl: I'm not as solid cause we are really hoping for boys only.
Quinn Elizabeth
Tyler Elizabeth
Elizabeth is my mom's middle name and it's my middle name as well so why not send it down a 3rd generation right?

 

[SarahTTC3]

Good Afternoon everyone!! So glad everyone is going okay. I have had my girl named picked out since I was little. Rebekah Faith. And DH likes Isaac for a boy. So I am leaning towards Isaac Michael. I hope for a little girl though. Af still hasn't shown up. Guess we are just skipping this month. So it is CD8 and I started taking OPKS for the first time yesterday. It was negative but who know when I will ovulate with this crazy month.

 

[AmberR]

I love all those names ladies! Luke and Madison would be my runner up names but they are just too common around here!

CT- that is so exciting!! I haven't felt any flutters yet! I'm anxious to start feeling something. I can definitely feel my uterus growing and am getting more stretching feelings especially when reaching for something or rolling over in bed.

 

[tbfromlv]

Sunny- blazer again today.. insert eye roll. I can’t trust it this cycle lol I totally understand that feeling.. you don’t really want to be sick feeling but you want some reassurance things are ok! Too bad you have to wait until week 10!

Ct- wow that’s amazing! So soon you will have that baby girl in your arms!!
I should know for sure tomorrow. As long as the clinic is good with it, I’ll be headed there on May 23.

I love the names guys!

Sarah- how do you know you are cd8 if AF never showed?

 

[AmberR]

Ah Tb how frustrating! You'll be heading to Prague so soon! Exciting!

 

[SarahTTC3]

Tb- if my period showed up on time then that’s where it would be. I really think the cryotherapy messed it up. Is that wrong thinking on my part?

 

[tbfromlv]

Yeah it sounds like it must be if your cycles are usually regular. But, Your CD 1 should be when your period starts, even if it’s later than usual.

 

[Dream143r]

Amber - Happy 18 Weeks! Your caramel frapp looks awesome! Excited for you to start feeling that little munchkin in there.

TB - May 23 is right around the corner. Eff this cycle.

AFM - CD5, clearly nothing going on. I was supposed to have acupuncture today but I've got some conflicting meetings at work so I'll go next week instead. It will be CD12 so still before O so that's fine.

 

[tbfromlv]

Just had my consultation with Prague. There’s definitely no bedside manner there just very much matter of fact lol he said i would get my protocol this week (hopefully- I remember reading Sunny’s blog!) as I will have to order the meds online ASAP to save money (sunny how long did yours take to come in?) I might go on progesterone in a few weeks so that I can control/induce my cycle. Clearly this cycle is a bust? Negative opk today with no rise lol I bet it’s positive tomorrow!

Dream I hope this is it for you!
