Welcome to 'Trying To Conceive Over 35'

[alicatt]

So I am thinking that my family is all very eager to meet the new (impending) arrival! Dh keeps wanderingo ver and saying "how ya feeling? " And if I say "Ouch"- say, I papercut or something - He jumps up and says "Are you having any pains at all?!" LOL! And the dd's they come up to me and say "WHEN is that BABY gonna be born!" Then they roll their eyes and stomp off...

We are all anxious to see that little one out in the world, and I'm sure your little girls are super excited, especially the older one as she is old enough to understand what is going on. I'm sure you are ready, aren't there a bunch of old wives tales out there about eating hot peppers or castor oil?

 

[alicatt]

ok so i tried to add my chart into my signature 3 times. Am i doing it wrong?

go to ff, click on the sharing dropdown, and then click get code, and copy/paste the 'simple link' one, that is what i have at the bottom of my signature. Or if you want a mini picture of your chart, use the chart thumbnail. Just copy/paste that into your signature.

i just tried that. Did it work? Thanks btw, didn't mean to put you to work

yep!!! Yay!!

LOL! Yes, but they only seem to work for a select few...which makes me think it's a load of bunk! However, walking makes sense as that jugs baby down and pounds the cervix out more I think I'll take the dd's outf or a walk :HUH: lol!

Oh and I tried your method for charting let's see if it shows up in my sig.....

 

[Grey Eyes]

Nuts! It didn't, well, then let's see if this works

[alicatt]

Got the call from the FS, my progesterone is nice and high at 50.41 I have read that we need it to be above 20, well mine is definitely above 20! She said to keep taking the dose I'm taking, and we'll go from there. I have to order more progesterone as I will run out on Friday. We can't have that! That would be horrible for potential baby. Oh and I tried to get them to do the beta on Friday but no siree, they refused, told me I had to wait. She said that they need the hCG level to be at a high enough number so that they know its a solid pregnancy so I'm not stressed if its too low. I'm like well don't you know that I'm going waiting which is just as stressful?
So I will continue to test on my own and just hope that before too long I see a

I get a chart, but it is an empty one. I think the link needs to have the IMG in it. Not the <a href
So see if you can use that link instead?

 

[Grey Eyes]

I agree Ali, stress is stress! So test! LOL!

That's a hi level! No wonder you have all kinds of symptoms and hot flashes! That's wonderful news, you are right on track!! Now, simmer down, relax and let nature takes it course!!

Afm, how does my chart look?

 

[Grey Eyes]

Nuts. Lemme see what I can figure out. Oh, btw, its a pregnancy chart so all you'll see is my signs and symptoms

Chart looks good to me, your temps are high for pre-O, but its all relative to the person, so lets see what they do once you have O'd. FF takes its sweet time (3 days) of temps before it puts your O day and cover line on the chart. So keep charting and we'll see how things look in a few days!

 

[Grey Eyes]

Aha! I finally got the one that says "My Chart" phew! I used the simple link that shows "url" in it....not that I am officially charting, I am playing aorund lol!

Ali- Yay! for a great progesterone level! That's good news, and yes- you better order some!

I'm yawning like crazy.. just want to go take a nap.
Geesh, how can I get so tired? Rhetorical question..


So I've been going over names..


Catherine Amelia
Juliana Paige
Seraphina Morgan


Camden Hunter
Alexander Pierce
Cameron Stone

I'm trying to go for some names that aren't super common, but aren't too wacky, with strong first names and more whimsical second names. I'm still tweaking, but I'm getting closer!

What do you all think?

It is almost as if they are mad at you because you won't let the baby come out to play..

I'm digging Juliana Paige...and Camden Hunter. (Of course I'm partial to Hunter since that is my son's name...Hunter Michael.
If we have a girl her name will be Constance Lee (A combo of our middle names)...and if we have a boy it will be after his daddy...the III since daddy is Jr.

Yep! I love Juliana (it is actually the first female in our family to come to America) so it resonates with me somehow. Catherine is my Mom's name, and actually my first name, so I want to carry the tradition on and use Catherine too, and we'd call her Cate. I think it would be cute to call Juliana Jules for short. So maybe I'll have twin girls? LOL!

Constance is a beautiful name, and naming a boy after his daddy, so perfect!! Glad you like Hunter, its a strong name, and I love strong names.

I agree, I like Juliana Paige, cute nickname would be JP and I like that. Camden is becoming popular too. I also like Hudson, Carter, Tucker and Tripp for boys. For girls I want Emma and Catherine as they are family names, but I also love Ainsley, Grace, and Devon.

I know hubs is against his name as it would be the 5th...then again cinco would be a funny nickname.

It is fun to think what we'd name our children, I do think that I would wait until they were born to make the final decision, that is why want to have a few options that I absolutely love. Hopefully my Mom is on board with them! She is super excited about me naming the baby after her!! I won brownie points there!

 

[Grey Eyes]

Hmm, I love the names! My favorites (and I am limiting myself to one each ) are:

Alexander Pierce & Julianna Paige...but then I like Seraphina Morgan too...How about Julianna Morgan? Or Morgan Paige? Nuts! Now you have me guessing! LOL
