I thought I could see something, but my eyes were playing tricks. It's completely dry now and I can see nothing....nice to have that tiny bit of hope while it lasted.
Fingers crossed for the morning....Night lovelies!

Night night Iwant4kids! I'm off to sleep to. Will be waiting for your morning post 😀 fx fx fx!!!

IWant - I doubted the line on 9dpo the day I tested, but everyone on here said they thought it looked hopeful! I will say it took forever to get a dark line on wondfo htp though. Seriously yesterday was the first day I felt it was dark and I was 17 dpo - just FYI

Max [emoji844] This cycle looks good [emoji844]

[maximbella]

Copy/pasted from our last thread. We are already in part 2?! [emoji15]

Sorry, we have visitors in town and my girls decided to wake up fighting and in tears...it's been a fun morning here. [emoji849]. I really hope it means I've O'd, and I don't think the attempt last night would be viable since it's after O right?

Hope you have a good sleep pbn!!

How is everyone else??

Max-yay your temps are staying up nicely and maybe you just didn't catch your surge on the digi?! You can get preggo 12-24 hours after O if you BD! Chances are slimmer, but can happen. I'd also continue with BD e3d to cover yourself!
Pbn-yep that was me...1000 backup plans were needed lol ;)
Iwant4-I didn't get anything on any of my tests until the evening of 9 dpo! I saw the line on the wondfo before the frer! Fx for tomorrow's test!!!

[maximbella]

Lola, can you explain what you mean by catching the temps on the way up? Does that mean you have or haven't O'd yet?

Max-for me this past cycle, I took my temp early in the morning (6AM) and my temp increased, but not as much as I expected. Since it was so early, I believe I caught my temp just as it was rising meaning that I must have O'd late night or early morning. The next day my temp continued to rise into the 98s. I'll attach a screenshot. At first glance of your chart, it looked like yours maybe did that, but looks like that was the day before your pos OPK and maybe didn't "catch the rise" like I previously thought. I'm new at reading these charts myself, but with your temp up in the 98s, I do believe you've O'd! [emoji322] If you have one more high temp, ff will prob assign O day the same as your pos OPK. If that's the case, you'll have your perfect O-1 attempt and then your other attempt after O still leaves a possibility!!! Can't wait to see your temp tomorr morning!!!

[IWant4Kids]

My temp is below coverline so I'm out :( AF should be here today or tomorrow. My signs have been diminishing so it hasn't stuck. Maybe my lining wasn't ready..... it makes me doubt swaying. I hope next cycle is the one! I'll be back on clomid CD2.

Meant to add my screenshot to show you what I was talking about. I think I caught my temp on it's way up-you can see here on CD16, and O day was likely on CD15 as ff assigned. Looks like for you that O day was CD19 and then a nice rise on CD20 [emoji322]

Maxim I just tried to post an analysis of last cycles chart and this but Tapatalk crashed just as I was able to hit send. It was quite an explanation so I'm going to post it in about 3 or 4 posts as its too much to keep trying to post in one hit and have it disappear.

******* it came back 😀😀😀😀😀 so reposted as below*********

[Pbn3]

Max I've been analysing your charts again and just went back to Mays posts around your last o dates and have noticed that you've entered your pos opk a day early? There's no way you oed cd22 (May 4th) when your opks looked like this cd23 (May 5th) So last cycle ff has your crosshairs at least one day early and possibly even two. If you moved the pos opk for cd23 can you see where ff shifts your crosshairs to? And if you do move the pos opk to cd23 notice the small shift in temp from cd24 to cd25 (day after pos opk) looks very familiar to your minor shift this cycle (also day after pos opk). Your body temp *possibly* rises while your egg is getting set up to release, then shows a minor shift at o before maintaining a further sustained rise. That's pure speculation though!
Here's the post I was referring to and a pic of last cycles chart. Try shifting the pos opk to may 5th (day you definately had pos opk) and see what happens



***********Edited after a couple hours lol. It's just occured to me that your a day behind me time wise I think which may be why my tapatalk entry says 5th May 😩 can you check though to be sure :) going to stop analysing now and stick with my day after pos opk guess as o day for both cycles 😂😂😂*****

Iwant4kids I'm sorry :( big hugs. If your egg did fertilise but not implant then your body simply may have not been ready to support a pregnancy. This was the fear with conceiving same cycle of d&c :( Hopefully your cycles have resumed and you'll o at your usual time and be back in the 2ww in no time xxoo

Today I had a very very huge temp drop. I did get a positive OPK today, and looking back at yesterday I'm thinking it wasn't positive but very close. I hope I O soon :)36551

[Pbn3]

Arrrhh nacire!!! I just seen!! Looks like a decent pre o temp drop! And that's a great pos opk. We should still see a rise Sunday or Monday :)

OH Nacire, looking good for O coming up shortly!!! :D

[NACIREMADREAM]

I'm hoping this attempt yesterday makes it to O :fx:

[maximbella]

Iwant4, I'm so sorry!!! Were you on clomid this cycle as well?

LMSM, did we O the same day?

Nacire, yayyyy for positive opk!!! Good luck and go BD! :)

Pbn, okay I want to make sure I understand what you're saying. And bear with me as I'm still trying to get the gist of charting. So I thought that the temps went up AFTER o, but you're saying that they can go up as you're about to O? That's so incredibly confusing....

Lola, thank you for posting that chart! I just realized that 9dpo for me (based on O on CD19) means that I'll be testing on Saturday, which is DH's birthday. Isn't that when you got your BFP??? :)

[Pbn3]

Maxim temps show a sustained rise after o. You may notice a 'step up' in temps prior to a rise and sustain which is what I am poorly trying to explain. There's heaps of different patterns. You've heard of a pre o dip? Well a temp can dip, then sharply rise showing o has likely occurred. It can also dip then come back before rising again the following day indicating o has likely happened. And some people dont even get a pre o dip. In Lola's case I thought she caught a rise on the way up as if you look at her previous cycle chart she had a sharp rise. This time it rose the same amount but over two temps hence the belief she temped not long after o actually happened and caught the rise mid rise. That make sense? I am terrible at explaining things and sometimes feel I cause even more confusion by trying to explain further 😕 so I hope this makes some kind of sense. Hence the comment that I'll just stick to my belief that you are oing day after pos opk but as I said that's a conclusion I've come to and I could easily be wrong :)

Now I'm going shut up and keep quiet about charts 😂

Sent from my GT-I9305T using Tapatalk

[Pbn3]

Just quickly (then I'll for sure shut up!) and to use myself as an example. My pre o temps were consisently below 36.5 and post o temps above (usually around 36.7 and I knew I had oed). My temps could be 36.2'ish and go to 36.5' which on a chart easily looks a spike but would often be step up before another rise to the usual post o temps

Sent from my GT-I9305T using Tapatalk

[maximbella]

That's actually super helpful to hear it spelled out like that. I just always assumed an increase of any sort meant you O'd!

Also, regardless of the day, your prediction was right...CD19 or 20 are both early o days for me! You are psychic! [emoji12]

Max-OMG, fx sooo hard that you get a BFP on DH's bday!!! So I tested with fmu on 9dpo on an OSOM and didn't see a thing. However, I def saw 2 lines at 9dpo evening. The next day, 10dpo, was actually DH's bday and got a BFP on the frer, OSOM & wondfo with fmu! I'm so glad you have the OSOMs, they're super sensitive! If you just so happen to not get a BFP on the morning of 9dpo (hope this isn't the case), DEF test again that evening!!! Your attempts look similar to mine! I had an attempt the day before O! This just HAS to be your time!!!! Can't wait for you to start testing 🤞🏻🤞🏻[emoji1374][emoji1374]

Max-here's my pic from 9dpo. Nothing in the morning, faint line in the PM! Crazy how it changed in a matter of time!

Thanks everyone....this cycle was an accidental attempt anyway, but it was exciting to think there was a chance. Wasn't even expecting to ovulate at all. I wasn't on clomid because you can take it straight after a D&C, need to wait for AF. So I will start clomid again this cycle. Fate making a plan maybe....it knew I needed clomid to make a girl!
Super crampy, but nothing yet! C'mon AF. Good news is that I'll be on holidays around O time. I get three weeks for our mid-year break. Then we go away for a week just after AF, so during that week I will eat what I want as it will be the TWW :)

Agree it can be quite complex, but once you get it it gives so much insight! :)
I think I O'd some time Friday possibly ;)

[maximbella]

Iwant4, fingers crossed af shows up soon and you can start a new clomid cycle. I'm honestly fine with a bfn this cycle since I also know I have clomid on the horizon as well to sway girl.

Lola, that's right!! I'm excited to start the soon testing.

Ff assigned dotted cross hairs this morning on cd 19. My temp was a bit lower today thank expected. Wonder what will happen with next few days. Does the attempt on cd 20 count as 2 attempts?

Max-I knew what you meant lol. Yay for crosshairs! To me it looks like you had 1 attempt, but the CD20 attempt leaves possibility depending on when you O'd! If you O'd in the early morning or even the day of CD20, you'd have 2 attempts there since the swimmers can fertilize the egg 12-24 hours after it's released!! I'm excited for you...I bet you caught that eggie!!! Happy 3dpo (possibly 2dpo)!!!!

[XXforhubby]

Max- Maybe 2? However, it takes sperm 6-12 hours to be able to fertilize the egg. Plus like Lola said, the egg is only viable for 12-48 hours once it's released. I too faced the same situation this time around, and I am having a girl! Don't worry about it- what will be will be!!

Hi ladies, sorry I've not posted for a while, We've been on holiday for a week at the seaside for my biggest boys birthday [emoji3] No wifi at all, its been strange to be out of touch!
I'm going to have a good read later ( you guys have been very chatty ha ha[emoji23]) and will catch up in a bit. Hope everyone is good. But first, a quick question if that's ok. We dtd yesterday ( j & d) as it was super quick before the boys woke up [emoji33] I don't usually o until cd 16 but got home today and tested and got a positive opk. Should we do it again today? I've still not entirely convinced DH so have to take the opportunities as they arise so to speak [emoji6]What do you guys reckon?


https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/4216d8

[Pbn3]

Mummy2boys it's so good to hear from you!!!

And yes definitely get another attempt in while dh is 'cooperating' as such as you may never get another chance and I would have very little confidence in a bd that pretty much ended in j &d. I don't feel you have the luxury of using 'one attempt' as a sway tactic so better to get a proper attempt in, especially at pos opk (omg how amazing is the timing of it 😀😀🎉🎉👌) What if he brings up permanent birth control next week? You'll have lost any chance so go go go for it tonight I say!!!!!!

For some reason I've not got any notifications so will go back thru now :)

Sent from my GT-I9305T using Tapatalk

[Pbn3]

Max agree that cd20 could 'possibly' be a second attempt but the odds would be pretty low in my mind :) Did you take both yesterdays (sorry can't remember) and todays temps earlier or later than usual? Have you kept doing opks? Just curious if they are fading out normally :)

LMSM woohoo! Up in the 37's already 😮😀

Nacire cant wait to see that temp spike way back up again! Please please please be tomorrow mornings temp that it does 😀 post your opk after you've done it and fx it's fading out!

Thanks pbn, can always count on you for fab advice!! The deed is done and he 'cooperated ' [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]Got no more opks left so hopefully temp will rise soon so I know I've o'd. Had loads of twinges so must be close.

Hello everyone! I just got back home after being out of state since Wednesday night. Sorry I didn't have a lot of time to check in while we were gone. Did I miss anything exciting?? I read through this new thread, but with the amount of chatting, I don't think I'll get a chance to read all the pages I missed on part 1. My girls are happy to be home and all about mama time! :) I'm expecting O in the next few days, but kinda hoping it's a little delayed so I can make up for a few "minimal effort" days!

:fx: for you, Max! Would be so exciting to give dh such a wonderful birthday gift! :)

[IWant4Kids]

Mummy2boys- yay! Sounds promising!

AF arrived last night! I'm out of limbo land now and can start clomid tomorrow... that's the only part I'm not happy about as I don't like how I feel taking it.

[LMSM]

Morning!

Mommy2boys – good to read you – glad you got a nice little holiday – how was your son’s Bday? How old is he?
FX that attempt will do the trick – or as our guru says if you can another BD in, go for it!

PBN – as much as I want to be hopeful, not getting my hopes up too much, last cycle I was in the 37’s ish all cycle post O until CD1 – so will be very cautious – though would looooove a BFP this cycle, it’s hubby’s Bday on Thursday (and I know that is your appointment day too! Counting down with ya) – though that would be too early to test then, I would love to be able to give him a slightly delayed Bday pressie :D
We probably won’t celebrate it as such until Friday anyways due to work – the girls and I will make him a cake on Friday that we can have together that night – my eldest has mandated it has to be a Batman cake – so might transform it into a “Rad Dad” cake instead :P

[Pbn3]

LMSM love the cake idea!!!! That's awesome that you'll make a cake together with your girls ❤ what a lucky man your dh is! So are you counting yourself as 2 or 3dpo? We may be able to tweak your chart to shift the crosshairs if you like?

Sent from my GT-I9305T using Tapatalk

[LMSM]

Not guaranteeing the result of said cake so not sure if he’s lucky haha – I actually want to trial making a mirror glaze (since DD1 wants a frozen cake for her Bday, I thought I would make a blue-purple-ish mirror glaze for hers) – so it will likely look...interesting lol
As for the DPOs – I am pretty sure O day was Friday at some point – so could be 3dpo? But who knows eh? Just when I think I know my body super well, it does things that I am unsure of how to read lol
Would only be 7dpo on Friday then – so may test on Sunday? Will likely depend on symptoms or lack thereof too – with both my girls I felt something was different from around 6 dpo – as it is now, feels like my body is doing something, it feels like AF is coming – but then, could be anything and don’t want to read into it, as it is way too early to even have symptoms lol

[IWant4Kids]

I take clomid CD2-6 but going to take it 3-7 due to the time it came. Checked with Atomic too.
It makes me feel depressed and moody and just not myself... only 5 days though, so it's okay.

No worries Iwant4kids! I just seen you've marked you chart as cd1 on Sunday. Usually cd1 is first day of full flow if it arrives before lunchtime'ish but if it arrives afternoon to night my understanding was to make the following day cd1. Not that it matters as you're holding off until cd3 which will technically be cd2 when you start taking lol just thought I'd mention in case you want your chart to line up with clomid days etc accurately without doing a minus one day thing in your head when you look at it :) If af arrived afternoon or night for me I'd mark it as spotting so 'I' knew that's when af started late but it kept my chart days correct as such. Gee I hope that all made sense, feel like I've waffled on and not really explained what I mean 😂

This is my typical day (PCOS diet)


Morning - no breakfast

Morning tea (11:00) - 1/4 cucumber, 1/4 red capsicum and carrot sticks. Sometimes fruit instead of one of the veg.
And a cup of coconut water with a few berries on top

Lunch (1:30):
Cup brown rice, veg on top, bit of satay sauce and 3 veg balls made from zucchini
Or
Brown wrap with cheese

After work if I need something I'll have an apple

Dinner: vegetarian stir fry with noodles or rice
Or
Sometimes wholemeal pasta and veg and sauce
And always a coconut water
Sometimes followed by a small bag of popcorn

Do you think this is too much? Not enough?

I also have fiber after lunch and dinner.

Plus I'll get into running for 20 mins each morning again

IWant - That is definitely low cal and sounds very girl friendly [emoji175]

[NACIREMADREAM]

Pbn3 - I started getting ovulation pains last night and earlier this morning. I may sound cray but it definitely felt like something was happening in there. Maybe because I'm totally aware so I'm looking for the signs?.. My CM turned creamy yesterday, and my OPK is faint but there..but negative for sure. I so hope I have that spike tomorrow :nails:

[Pbn3]

Iwant4kids fibre is best taken before your one or two highest fat meals. Yours sound very low fat though so not even sure you should be using fibre? Are you monitoring nutrition? How many cals, grans of fat and protein? Remember not to include green/leafy veggies in your intake. From what you've just listed it seems on the very low side of the le diet and I'm not sure its enough? How is your weight loss going? Not sure I'd introduce any exercise if your at a low weight. I'm not overly familiar with what is different in the pcos version of the le diet but I would strongly recommend you copying and pasting your typical day pcos le diet in a thread directed to atomic and mention everything that you've done to date. How long you've been on diet, your d&c last cycle etc, taking clomid this cycle and the idea of incuding exerise. All I would suggest (and only if it is in line with what atomic days) is to make sure you are hitting your fat and protein levels (the upper limits too) plus for some reason I think the pcos version has a higher limit for protein or perhaps even both?) Your d&c and most of all clomid will sway very strongly for you so I would take full advantage of that, especially this cycle, and aim for the upper limits of diet and probably do e4d with an extra attempt at pos opk?? Again though run everything past atomic while you have the time :)

Iwant4, doesn't coconut milk sway blue? Could be wrong, but just in case...

Pbn, I stopped opk because it's the weekend and we've been running around like crazy people... I took my temps yesterday and today 45 mins later than normal bc DH let me sleep in. I'm reeeeeaaaaallllly hoping I only got one attempt in! If I did, I feel great about this cycle because my diet was pretty good with lots of wine and coffee, which is my fav and makes me sooo happy! ;) the 2 attempts does make me a bit scared, although I know I wanted to get it in since I have been trying 1 attempt last cycles and not getting pregnant. I looked back and saw that my attempts with DD1 were 0-3, 0-2, and 0 day. I wasn't swaying at that time and my diet was certainly great at that point since we were trying for our first, so I'm really hoping I'm naturally pink friendly. 🤞

Oh yay maxim that is awesome 😀😀😀😀😀 ok so those osom seemed really sensitive! I wouldn't bother testing with opks as they only act as a hpt if they are fully positive and by then you'd have had a pos hpt for days! Also some people (myself included) get a lh surge prior to af so it could be misleading if it starts darkening. So why not start osom and wondfo hpts on Friday?! You'll either be 7 or 8dpo. I'd keep using them until you see a line then use an frer! Maybe keep your fmu until after your tests dry in case we see something so you can dip another 😀😀😀 oh boy bring on the weekend!!!!

I was actually going to ask about the “protocol” for testing with opks – at what dpo to start, at what time of day etc etc – but you’ve rained on my parade now PBN lol (joking of course hon)

[Pbn3]

Hahaha sorry LMSM 😉!!! No reason for you not to start testing Saturday especially with that stash😀! You're either 2 or 3dpo too!! I'd use the IC's first couple days but as I said to Maxim, save your sample in case you need to dip another test!!!

Max & LMSM-you both sound like me prepared with all of those hpts lol. I think you should both go all out with POAS this time [emoji322][emoji322]
Max-agree with pbn...start with OSOMs and wondfo's. My lines on those were much more noticeable than the frer. I wasn't sure if I could see anything on the frer or not. Excited for all of you to test!!!!
Nacire-Fx that you O'd and that you'll be testing soon too!!!

[kat1234]

Max & Lmsm - I got very faint lines on wondfo htps at 9 dpo so y'all should definitely try it!! Now we have something to look forward to this weekend!

[maximbella]

Woohoo, ok I'll start on Friday (8 dpi). [emoji322]

Maximbella - Fingers crossed

Pbn3 - I have the Wondfo. Is there something much better to get instead?

LMSM - before swaying I don’t remember this part of it all so stressful in a way. You never sat around really waiting on O. You just sat around waiting on AF lol

Lolabelle - I sure hope I O’d. I think I did but only temping will tell..

[Pbn3]

Wondfo is great nacire and we also like frers as well!! Especially for early testing! Once we see a line clear blue digis are probably next best in line! Nothing beats seeing that 'Pregnant' word on a digi!!

Sent from my GT-I9305T using Tapatalk

[Lolabelle]

Nacire-wondfo's are perfect for detecting it early! Showed up at 9dpo evening for me as well! I will say that while you can see progression, it takes awhile for them to get dark like the lines on the frer. Once you see a line on the wondfo, try a frer for sure [emoji4] And just like pbn said-there's nothing like seeing that word "Pregnant." Oh so excited for testing time!!! I know we'll be celebrating lots of BFPs as the the jaw-dropping June success continues [emoji322][emoji322][emoji322]

[LMSM]

You push to consumption ladies, you are totally poas enablers hahaha Max you caved :D though I don’t think you needed convincing lol
I guess I will have to consider testing early too then :P sooo nervous, I keep getting these stabbing pains in my lower abdomen esp on the right side - not sure what to make of it

Nacire – Wondfos are apparently really good! We don’t have them readily available here in Oz, but if you have some , then you are set :D (Having said that the OSOM Lola used were hyper sensitive and you should be able to get them on Amazon, and I know that Max ordered some ^^).

[Pbn3]

LMSM I think that stabbing pain you're referring to is a fertilised egg pushing its way down the tube towards the uterus 😀

FX so bad that it is what that pain is! :nails:

[Pbn3]

I actually vividly remember having a pinching (or stabbing) and pulsing type pain at 2dpo one pregnancy. I recall it so well as I visualed an everyday chicken egg as my egg pushing through a tight tube (think flesh coloured garden hose 😂) hence the pulsing 😂😂 in no way is that even close to what happens and certainly not what it looks like but my visualization was so hilarious I've never foegotten it 😂😂 Didn't feel it this or other pregnancies but I had deadset af pains at 6-8dpo this time (dont recall them other pregnancies) and they were exactly like my usual af pains I get at 10dpo. I actually thought af was going to come early.... but I got a bfp instead 😀

Sent from my GT-I9305T using Tapatalk

[LMSM]

Haha – I could totally do the same kind of visualization myself! :P
Now, don’t know whether it’s just because I want it to be because an eggie doing its magic or because it actually is – but man it’s distracting pains for sure!
I probably am overthinking every little detail so it makes it feel more prevalent than what it really is though lol

[Lolabelle]

LMSM-I totally had cramps this time starting at 7dpo on and off along with a temp dip, then slow rise. Fx it's that magical egg for you!!! Love that you're ready to test early!!! Who's testing when?? It is Father's Day this Sunday right? Wouldn't that be an awesome day for a BFP!!!

[LMSM]

I know that for DD2, I had an implantation dip quite late, around 8-9dpo I think with a bof around 11-12dpo – so hoping that the pain is not for nothing ! :D
As for testing, was initially considering Sunday but who knows what I will be willingly coerced into??! LOL
It’s DH’s Bday on Thursday but here in Oz Father’s day is the 1st Sunday of September so that wouldn’t work here – would work for Max though :D

[Lolabelle]

LMSM-I easily forget that all of our holidays aren't the same. Will you be about 7dpo on Thurs? If you test on 8 or 9 dpo...you could always say you had one more gift!!
Max-I remember you saying DH's bday is coming up-is that this weekend? A BFP for his bday AND Father's Day!! That would be Ahhhh-mazing!!

[LMSM]

Oh worry not Lola, I have already planned the whole “I have another pressie for you thing” – been thinking about the announcement for yonkies, and one of the “scenarios” I envisaged was if I got my bfp around hubby’s Bday – I actually have about 3 ways of announcing it and still don’t know which I would choose lol
Australia likes to do Public hols differently, so hard to keep up! heck, today is a PH in all other states but Qld – Labor day was May 1st here but they are having it today everywhere else in Oz lol
Could it be a sign with our DH’s Bdays plus Father’s day (it is father’s day in France this WE, which is our country of origin though ^^) around the corner? Let’s hope so! What prefect timing it would be especially for you Max :D

[IWant4Kids]

Kat - thanks, I hope so!


Nacire - fingers crossed!


Pbn3 - I had lost 5kg before my blighted ovum, but now it's back on. I should be able to get 3kg off before I ovulate. I've paid for a plan with Atomic, so I've messaged her to run it by her again. The PCOS diet has some compulsory items, including yoghurt and coconut water, plus more whole grains and brown rice instead of all white. I feel totally commited this time, like it's my last shot as I KNOW this will be the month.

Maxim - I think with two girls you're girl friendly anyway. So with what you're doing you'll be fine. Yay for testing Friday

LMSM - How annoying are all the different public holidays! Loved being home today! :)

AFM: Just figured out I'll be testing in the first week of July....another month down! Feeling a little crampy but good. I actually feel good when I have AF - motivated and lots of energy. 9 school days to go and then 3 weeks of holidays; maybe that has something to do with how I'm feeling!

Maxim I'm going to have to eat my hat and let go of my personal feeling you more likely oed day after pos opk as your temps indeed appear to be supporting a day of pos opk o. It still is possible (day after pos) so when it comes to testing time know you may be a day ahead but atm I'd actually say you are indeed 4dpo as per your chart. Your temps haven't done at all what I thought they would pattern wise 😂 but in saying that I believe anything different from the norm can only be a good sign of things to come 😀 So if you are indeed 4dpo then you definately only have one attempt!

Iwant4-yay for a 3 week break!! That's the perfect time for some relaxation and baby making 🤣[emoji12][emoji854]

[maximbella]

Iwant4 - I'm excited for you and really have my fingers crossed for you!!!

Lola, yes DH's birthday is Saturday and Father's Day is Sunday. Would be so amazing to be celebrate with a BFP. What are you guys doing for your hubby's?? My girls are making a "restaurant" for DH and cooking him his favorite foods, but outside of that, I'm always at a loss on what to do for him!! Need ideas! :)

Pbn, I've never heard "eat my hat", I love it!!! Here they say "eat my words"...it's so fun to see the different variations! :) Okay, so you think that I O'd CD19? Honestly, my temps are much, much lower than I expected. It's strange...maybe that is good? I swear last cycle's temps looked amazing, but that was a BFN for me. So who knows?! I had awful cramping and bloating on night of CD19, which is when we were going to have our 2nd attempt but I didn't feel great. I wonder if it happened that evening and then temp went up by the morning? If so, that would mean that I got O-1 attempt about 24 hours before O, right? So would the 2nd attempt the next evening (CD21) not be viable?

I am having really bad bloating the last few days. I know that it's way too early for any symptoms, but I usually have a flat tummy and it's no fun right now. Could that be a sign of something?! ;) I'm going to start testing 8dpo, so excited for Friday to roll around!!!

[Lolabelle]

Max-my temps were all 98-98.2 this cycle, which seemed lower than usual! Then, went up slightly to 98.3 around BFP time. Fx that this is a sign for you!!! Your Father's Day plans sound perfect! Not sure what we're doing since my dad lives in the same town. We often celebrate with him doing a pool party/cookout or something. I need ideas too!!! It does sound to me like you got 1 attempt!

[maximbella]

Oh awesome lola!! I know I've already asked you 100 times, but can you please repost your chart again for this cycle?

[AshFind]

Max it seems like the Bfps come when we aren't expecting it but I do believe I had symptoms way early. My boobs never got unsore after I Od and 5 dpo I seen like microscopic [emoji23] amount of spotting like for real no one would notice unless your scoping out every piece of tp. I had globs of creamy cm and at 7dpo I had such bad dizzy spells during Sunday dinner my grandma honestly asked if I was pregnant! [emoji15] this was all before I got a Bfp

Max-sure! I was concerned that my temps seemed to be lower than previous cycles! Not sure if there was a correlation, but ended up being THE cycle. Fx sooo hard that this is YOUR time! Everything is lining up so nicely for you with the well-timed attempt, DH's bday & Father's Day!!!!! My early signs were def the cramping like AF, but I was only 7dpo and then sneezed all day for like 3 days in a row around 9dpo lol. 🤧
Here's my chart:

Ash, interesting on the boobs! Mine have felt exactly like when I was nursing my girls - full and achy. I've had that before in BFN cycles, so it's probably hormone related for me, but interesting to hear you say that!!

Thanks for reposting Lola! So I guess we both had O-1 for attempts. Do you think my O+1 attempt counts? I'm kind of kicking myself for BD that night, but what is done is done! ;)

I had the dizzy spells too. With my first daughter I randomly fainted (this happened just a few days before af was due) and when I called my dh at work, his boss over heard and told him, "She's pregnant" and he didn't even know we were ttc. I waited until af was a day late as not to get my hopes up for nothing, but sure enough it was positive. So maybe I'm crazy, but I think there must be something to the dizziness around conception.. My OB said my fainting was likely due to a sudden drop in blood pressure.

[maximbella]

Wow TTC, interesting...that makes sense! Remind me where you are right now in your cycle? Sorry, trying to keep up with everyone!!

I swear everyone around me is getting pregnant! Took my daughter to ballet class and there was another mom talking to her friends about finding out she's having a boy. It took EVERYTHING in me not to ask her about her BD patterns, diet, etc. and I don't even know her. HA omg my life lately makes me laugh....

[Lolabelle]

Ttc & Ash-I get dizzy spells now! I sometimes get up too fast, feel light-headed & have to sit back down.
Max-my bb's started having that heavy nursing feeling closer to my BFP & feel sore off & on now. Seriously lol at you wanting to talk to that momma. I always notice preggo moms with 2 of the same gender & I always want to ask SO bad what they're having. My co-worker is expecting her 4th boy & said her DH wasn't that excited. She told him "honey, you know it's your fault." I wanted to talk to her about swaying so bad, but bit my tongue. No need to for me to go there! If it works for me, then I'll share with others IRL [emoji4]
Also Max-We did have similar O-1 attempts! I believe that resulted in my BFP! Based on my slow temp rise, I fully believe that my O+2 attempt would've been very unlikely. Honestly I believe that your O-1 attempt is your 1 attempt and your O+1 is very unlikely. Check out this chart I found! Looks like you BD'd on the perfect day. FX!!!!!!

[NACIREMADREAM]

I haven't had a temp spike yet, but rather a slow rise instead. What does all this possibly mean for me? Cd14-15 I felt ovulation pain and twitches in my stomach. All day yesterday I felt extremely tight, heavy and bloated in my stomach. My CM changed cd14 to creamy from watery which I had the whole previous week. My hubs left on Cd13 on a business trip, but we got an attempt in that morning. I'm still pretty hopeful :)

[Pbn3]

Nacire we'll know more when we see tomorrows temps. You may see a spike in the morning or maybe you have a slow rise and oed cd14/15? Its impossible to tell until we have more temps I'm afraid :( The vaginal temping hasn't brought your temps into a more readable pattern as I'd hoped but it will get there! Tomorrow morning though or later today if you get a chance, can you check your temp vaginally twice in a row? Just to rule out a faulty thermometer :) Going by your description of pain, twitches, heavy bloated and change in cm I truly believe you have oed so your attempt prior to dh leaving is perfect 👌😀

Pbn3 - Thank you so much for your response. You'd think after 3 kiddos I'd be less clueless when it comes to all this stuff. I never worried with all that stuff before now. I’m thinking I O’d on cd14-15, but Fertility Friend isn’t picking up O. I normally temp twice in a row, because it always feels so off sometimes. I just checked again twice in a row and got 98.1 both times. I also did an early OPK today and it’s negative.

[Pbn3]

Ff will allocate crosshairs once you enter some more temps. It *may take longer than usual due to the higher/erratic pre o temps but I honestly think it'll end up allocating to cd14 or 15 at this stage and that fits with your opk and cm observations :) So I'll say 'welcome to the 2ww 😀🎉' and get your hpts ready!!!

Where's the 26.4g fat from? If you're wanting to use fibre as a sway tactic then take it once a day just before your highest fat meal for the day. Oh and you'll have to make sure your dinner is a minimum of 500 calories, preferably 700 if possible :) which should be easy doable as you have the fat and protein to spare to have something substantial!

Morning/evening ladies!

Mommy2apples – woohoo, get that road on the show! It is super exciting regardless, and means you ae that step closer to the actual attempt time, and then the 2ww - :D

PBN – 2 more sleeps until your appointment – how are you feeling?

Ash – I missed your birthday I think so HB hon, what a great one that it is, carrying your precious bundle inside you :D

Max – haha – you should have asked her! It’s tempting to know what others have done just to reassure one self though, isn’t it? ;)
I promise you will be preggers very soon too!

Lola – always there with reassuring words ;) Hopefully we can join you and all the other lovely pregnant ladies in the ddg if you will have us even if dds would be more early March by now ;)

TTCblue – is it this week that it is O time and attempt time for you?

I want4 – I know nothing about what is acceptable re pink sways but low-cal – high sugar/carb/low protein was definitely my diet with both my girls..FX!!! ;)

Nacire – you totally can be hopeful :D your temp will likely continue to move upwards confirming O soon ;)

So emotional today – it’s just been a morning of chaos, spilt milk and being late… and I was just snappy at everything and everyone, apologised to the girls before leaving them but man I feel terrible and just want to cry my eyes out :(
Anyhoo..this morning DD2 whinged in her sleep which woke me up – and not sure whether she would then wake up I took my temp in case I had to get up shortly after - though it was early 5ish (instead of 6 ish) – the temp was 36.82 – then having not gotten up but not truly gone back to sleep either, I took my temp again at 6.10 – 36.93 – which temp would you use? I’m thinking the one at 5am and it will likely come up as an empty circle on the chart.
Would you concur that is the most accurate way to have my temp for today?

[Pbn3]

Hmmm Lmsm if you didn't roll around too much during temping and re-temping at 6.10am I'd go with the closer to usual temp or at least split the difference :)

Nacire-did you switch from oral to vag temping this cycle? It does look like maybe the start of your spike on cd15-interested to see what your temp does over the next couple of days!
Mommy-yay for getting a head start on your BD plan!

Sounds great and don't worry about the dip! Temps have to level out at some stage. These first 3-5 temps are just to verify o, its the ones from 6dpo onwards that can make things interesting. Or you can even have a normal looking chart that ends in a bfp like Lola's :)

Thanks hon - I love how reassuring you are! :) I actually just checked my chart when I got my last bfp (DD2) - 36575 and it did have a dip early on before rising again and a secondary dip (likely implantation) – so FX it follows the same pattern :D

[NACIREMADREAM]

Mommy2apples - Very excited for your coming cycle :) I hope we all get bfps soon!!

LMSM - I’m sure hoping to see a difference tomorrow :) I have those nights with my DS. Difference is he sleeps with me because he nurses throughout the night. I can honestly say I don’t get a good night sleep most nights. I feel like I’m tossing and turning all night long ugh :(

Lolabelle - I did switch to vaginal temping this cycle. As crazy as it still might look. I think it looks a whole lot better now that I switched :)

Nacire I nursed DD2 until she was 17 months, and only because I kindly nudged her that way – she was boobie obsessed, and was not settling with anything but that and had me up at night so much I just could not physically function anymore...she would likely have continued on if it hadn’t been for me suggesting we gently wean. She now is obsessed with having her milk bottle (she often will ask for it in the middle of the night and cry and cru when I say when she has slept bt not now – at like 10pm/2ametc lol) – that and she has taken a dummy (hate it wish I could toss it) and uses some little towels as comforters – drags them everywhere and has to have like 10 in her bed lol her sister self-weaned at around 12 months, and never was big on comforters – she always has been such an independent little girl so this sookie koala baby (who is adorable) is a big change for me haha but you're right let's enjoy their baby phase while it lasts because it goes sooo fast!
She will be 2 at the end of September ^^

That sounds like me too! I constantly talk to my family members and friends who are mothers to compare diet and such and if they think I'm silly for swaying, I genuinely think they are for not giving it a chance.

Im on cd12 and I just got a positive opk literally an hour ago and already got my first attempt in! Currently laying down as long as possible until I'm summoned by the daughters!

Ttcblue are you charting? If so can you post a link to your chart?

Im not charting. I just feel like me being who I am, it will stress me out entirely too much.. I use OPKs starting on cd11 (because I always get a positive between cd12 and cd16). Today is cd12 and at 7am this morning it had a very faint line and at 7pm it was unmistakably positive. I immediately got in our first attempt.. Is tomorrow morning too soon to get in round 2? Or should I wait until tomorrow evening just incase I don't ovulate until a day or 2 from now? DH will only give me 2 tries each month, so my next will be my last..

Mommy2apples - He already shows he’s not a baby anymore. He has 2 big brothers to keep up with and he sure can hang with them just fine. He’s the little boss of the house, and right now his favorite/new word is NO lol He tells his brothers NO, NO, NO and points his little finger when he says it :)

LMSM - I feel just like that. Some days it blows my mind how I’m still functioning still. I won’t say I’m weaning yet, but I do ask for my bubbies back lol of course he laughs. I know maybe I’m being funny and encouraging him more. When you weaned did you just let dd cry it out? He’s never took a bottle only a regular cup he drinks from during meals. He nurses all night, during day and for nap times. If I make eye contact he wants to nurse lol

[Lolabelle]

Nacire & Mommy- I nursed DS2 before bed until he was 2! I think it was more of a comfort thing for him & I thought there was no end in sight! I eventually replaced our nighttime routine with singing songs & reading books & the transition was easier than I thought!! BTW, DS2 is a March baby & I think March babies are pretty awesome (not biased or anything 🤣).
Nacire-I thought I remembered you switching to vag temps. I did that mid cycle too many cycles ago & found it to be more accurate. Just wondered if that's why your more recent temps are looking lower than the earlier ones. Was CD13 your 1st vag temp?
LMSM-ooo Fx this chart continues to follow your previous BFP chart!!!
Max-it does seem like it would be really hard to pinpoint O+12 & seems like it would take awhile to get preggo. Maybe it works by pure luck if it ends up being the 1 attempt & the egg is still there & ready to be fertilized??

[Mommy2apples]

Lol sounds like my 2 year old! He turned two the end of April Naci!!

Lola: yep I weaned ds2 at 15 months, because he was using me as a pacifier. It took about three days then he was fine with it! My birthday is the 29th of march! Lol and our Anniversary is march too so thought it'd be a pretty cool month to have a baby! lol if only we got to choose!

[Lolabelle]

Nacire-Since you're nursing 3+ times a day, maybe you could wean by dropping 1 feeding at a time. I nursed only before bed for a long time, then eventually replaced with a new nighttime routine that he seemed perfectly happy with-brushing teeth, reading books & singing songs.
Ttc-yay for getting your 1st attempt in!!

[LMSM]

Oh TTC good thing you took those opks today then! :) FX todays and tomorrow’s attempt do the trick – if you only get two in since you will at most ovulate in 48h, you probs are better off doing an attempt in the morning (which would be what, 36hrs prior to O at most – likely less) so that if you do ovulate early, you will have had the 2nd attempt before O.
The gurus may chip in with a different view – but if this 2nd attempt is all you will get this cycle (di you then abstain or DH just uses a condom then?) – you are probably better off ensuring you BD when the chances of conception are highest ;)

[Lolabelle]

Mommy-Fx for a March baby!! I know!! I always wanted a summer baby since I'm off for the summer & I wouldn't have to worry about taking maternity leave. I guess the silver lining of having an August, March & now Feb baby IS getting to use the maternity leave...keeps the school year interesting haha.

He nurses all night, during day and for nap times. If I make eye contact he wants to nurse lol
Oh totally get it – the tiredness was doing my head in, it was so hard at work that I thought I would lose my sanity so instead of abruptly snapping and weaning off cold turkey I thought I owed it to her to do it gently at least (had gotten to the point that the night feeds I started to physically hate- when I used to love the closeness in the still of the night when she was smaller - I just could not cope anymore, to the point I actually felt like ripping her off the breast, it made my skin crawl so bad I thought that is it).
But no, I never did nor ever will do cry it out – regardless of me not being able to cope (hubby was keen with CIO until I explained why it was no good), it’s also that so much research has shown how detrimental it is, I just would not be able to ;)
What I did, is what Lola recommended – I dropped a feed at a time: she had been at daycare since 10 months old, so she had 4 days/week without me during the day so she did take some bottles – so most days I had feeds with her 1st thing in the am, then after dinner before bed then often a few times at night.
So I dropped the one she seemed to care less for, i.e. the morning one – 1st I only offered every other day, until she seemed content – basically didn’t offer didn’t refuse at first but offered bottles instead (at first with some expressed milk then weaned off that gently too).
Then after maybe 10 days or so, we then looked at dropping the day feeds when she was with me (Friday to Sunday) – with the same approach – then finally did the same with the evening one: the night ones she actually accepted better than I thought, and I just told her mummy had no more milk – was sore-ish for a week when we dropped the last feed, and had to express a bit to help avoid mastitis but it went surprisingly well. The whole process was over maybe 5-6 weeks? She hasn’t asked for boob since – she just cuddles instead :)
GL wth that process - it is bittersweet - I was relieved and sad all at once, esp fo rthat very last feed - I got DH to take a pic of us

[Mommy2apples]

Lolabelle - My DH likes to point out that its more a comforting thing for him. I will try and start a good time bed routine for him and see if it helps. He loves singing, and books! I think we all can be raised because all that babies are so awesome no matter the month their born :) I started temping vaginally Cd7, and deleted the af temps which were orally.

Mommy2apples - Aren’t you just amazed at how fast they grow?!! My hubs is from Ohio :)

LMSM - so much emotion and I can feel it just by reading how you felt. I think for me it’s a little harder because I’m a SAHM, so it’s hard to just drop a feeding. I will try and start to keep him a little more busy. I do think he will nurse more if he gets bored of big brother (5 yr old). I think with a solid routine it may help us more. She just learned to cuddle sounds like a distant dream lol I bet it was bittersweet, but necessary.

[Lolabelle]

Nacire-I can def see how it would be harder trying to wean as a SAHM. DS2 was in daycare for 5 days as a 3 month old in May before my school year was over and then again as a 6 month old when I went back to work. It was easier to drop those day feedings on the weekends since he was getting the bottle at daycare. It was bittersweet stopping, but I was trying to get AF to return so I could ttc #3 so I had a mission lol ;) GL-just do what feels right for you & DS!!
LMSM-you mentioned mastitis...eek, I had the worst infection & ended up in the hospital for 2 days. Had an abscess & minor I&D surgery! Terrible pain ouch! Only time I've ever been in the hospital besides babies.

True dat :P it’s honestly the highlight of my day picking them up at daycare – little one drops everything runs over to me saying “Mummyyyyy” and demands a cuddle by climbing on me haha love it, she always was a cuddly one, and a Mama’s girl, but she definitely has been even more cuddly after we weaned – and that’s fine by me, they are only little for so little time ;) It sounds like a dream said like that but she has her tanties in the middle of the night now if I don’t give her a bottle at times – which is hard to not cavee in for – I offer an alternative (water, dummy, cuddly blanket etc) – so I def think the key is redirecting attention, offering an alternative..so
I do think that distracting your DD2’s attention will definitely help for the day feeds – I can sympathise, when you are together 24/7 there is nowhere to “hide” lol you got this mama ;)

We have sex every 4 days but he wears a condom or pulls out. Since he doesn't want another baby, it was all I could do to talk him into 2 attempts each month. Also I don't know if it makes a difference, but I use clear blue OPKs. Not sure if they are more likely to detect the surge sooner or after other OPKs? And my cycles are currently averaging 26 days, if that in any way can help predict when O may happen. Thank you for getting back to me quickly! I'll set my alarm and try to catch dh before he has to work in the morning :bigsmile:

DH was called in early to work today and I had no idea. Of all days!!!! Had my alarm set for 7am and didn't know he had already left at 6:30. Will it still be a good second attempt if we get it in right after he gets home? It would be approximately 24 hours after my first positive OPK, but I did take another at 7 this morning (I always do 7am and 7pm) and it's still positive. Should I even take another OPK this evening, or just get another attempt in ASAP?

:celebrate: UPDATE: :celebrate: Dh came home from work for his lunch break and we got our second attempt in. So 18 hours after my first positive opk/our first attempt.. Ovulation pains started about an hour prior to him getting home. I'm not sure what this means, but :fx: and :pray:

[TaytumJ]

Hello ladies! I see a few familiar faces in here, but just wanted to ask a quick question: I had my son in May 2016 (thanks GD!) and breastfed him for a year. So, just got my first pp period in May. It took us 3 rounds of Clomid to conceive him and the last round ovulation was SO painful. Fast forward, we are NOT trying, but with my difficulties last time, not preventing. Anyway, Sunday afternoon I felt so bloated, and sore and just almost like I had to pee but didn't (no UTI, I feel fine now!). My question is, anyone who has taken Clomid before, did you notice future ovulations felt different? Or even, post baby did they feel different? Maybe it's not the Clomid, but the face that I've had a baby. It would have been CD19 (and we DTD the morning before[emoji51]). Any insight from you mamas is appreciated!

Good luck to all of you this month and lots of baby dust! [emoji178][emoji170]

[Pbn3]

Ttcblue I'm so happy to see your update about lunchtime bd!!!! Woohoo you did fantastic lady and definately have your two attempts in 🎉🎉🎉💙💙💙

@TaytumJ hi there 👋 and that's a name from the past I haven't seen for awhile 😀 Glad to hear all is well! For me ovulation pain varies month to month but by far the one that hurt the most was one of my 5/6 clomid cycles. Felt I was literally going to burst and same sensation of feeling like I needed to pee but nothing would come. It was extremely uncomfortable and lasted a couple days. That cycle I definately released more than one egg (confirmed by bw) Previous to this one and following clomid cycles though were nothing at all like that. And non clomid cycles the same. I always get o pain that I can identify but how long and sharp the pains are varies month to month. Also I've gotten o pains day before or day of o as well (confirmed by temping) So basically its my long winded way of saying maybe you released more than one egg in your first ovulation since return of cycle. Or maybe your body was abit 'stiff' and needs a few rounds to get all the pieces greased and working smoothly again 😂 Have you tried googling? I'm sure there'd be plenty of forums with ladies asking the same question in the same scenario as you. I don't think it had anything at all to do with the clomid as it will have been well out of your system but possibly is first ovulation after cycle return related xxoo

Maxim and Nacire even though its early days I like the direction your charts are heading 😀

Mummy2boys do you think you've oed? Hard to tell with the missing temps but cd13 is certainly possible. Cant wait to see more temps!

Shinay I'm not sure you're still popping in but really hoping this latest dive in temps results in a full proper af. It's the lowest your temp has been in 54 days. I have everything crossed so tight for you!

Mummy2apples hopefully you'll o quicker than last cycle 😀 but of not only 2 weeks'ish away! When do you usually o on non clomid cycles?

Iwant4kids when do you usually start feeling the side affects you experience from clomid? Also what cd did you usually ovulate around prior to last cycles mc?

Pbn3 - I'm very unsure and not very hopeful with such a slow rise after ovulation :( I did read on Google (I should stay off Google) that slow temp rise after ovulation can be from low progesterones?.. I know there is probably a number of things that can lead to it. I know my temp is rising and thats a good sign :) I took my temp 2 maybe even 3 times in a row and got the same temp just to be certain. Should I still take OPK today?

[TtcBlue18]

Ttcblue I'm so happy to see your update about lunchtime bd!!!! Woohoo you did fantastic lady and definately have your two attempts in 🎉🎉🎉💙💙💙


Whoo hoo!!!!!!! Also I just remembered, dh did not use a condom when we bd on Saturday (we dtd every 4 days and he forgot to bring condoms on vacation with us! ;) ) Since I got my positive ovulation test just 2 days later, would that also fall within the fertile period, or do all 3 attempts have to be after a positive opk?

[Pbn3]

Nacire I would not consider that a slow rise at all! I will attach an example of a slow rise chart. You're 2/3dpo and even though its difficult to 'see' because of your higher pre o temps make it harder there is a definate shift. Your temps are going in the right direction 😀 try and relax a little, you got an attempt in at the very best time so you have an excellent chance of a bfp. Now its the waiting game which is hard and makes us analyse every single thing but trust me, in relation to your chart its so far so good. I see nothing concerning or 'off'. Give it a few more days to get established :) https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170613/48cc228eac1815a37fd459a2668bb48d.jpg

That's an attempt in fertile window so I would include it for sure! So assuming you o day after pos opk you'll have a 3-o, 1-o and day o attempts (is that right?!! If so double woohoo!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉)

Hey hey!

TTC blue – even better – that’s just perfect, lucky you! FX it’s a BFP in the coming days now :D

Max – temp is looking good darl! :D

Nacire – if you go back a couple of pages I put a screenshot of my bfp cycle for dd2 – it’s not a steep rise but moreso gradual, and she is now here, a bouncy 20 months old! ;)I do tend to have low progesterone and take supplementation (oh so am not looking forward to using those yukky pessaries!) but you will see that it doesn’t prevent a bub from being sticky as such ;) plus the fact you have cycle whilst still bfing is a plus (many women don’t have proper cycles bfing as much as you do ;) ) – the bfing can mean lower P levels but not necessarily too low ;)
(oh and if you have extra stock of that chill pill, please shoot some my way, I think I will need it until I know what the outcome of this cycle is! :rofl: )

Mommy2apples – who knows you might indeed O earlier this cycle so keeping track is the way to go – what days are you on Clomid – was it 5-9 or something like that? I can’t recall sorry ;)

Taytum – my Os on Clomid were uber painbul, like I was going to literally explode – the ones I had post-partum were not as bad, but with each pregnancy they do seem to get more painful – I do have endometriosis though and have adhesions around my ovaries (the surgeon removed them but there will be a scar that can cause pain too)… sometimes the first PP ovulations are the most painful as the body hasn’t ovulated in a while so it kind of comes back with a vengeance- hormones and all ;)
When was your CD19, long to go before you can possibly test to know what is going on?

PBN – one more sleep until your appointment! What time is it at?

Afm – well temp is back up this am, so I think we will have a good picture of what’s to come by the end of the week !

[Mommy2apples]

I was supposed to start it a day earlier I think lol, but my scatterbrained started it cycle day 4 so 4-8 this cycle.

TtcBlue18 - I’ve always charted, but never did temping or opk (such a beginner I know) in the past. I only charted af and specifics lol. When I did start temping I was a bit pitiful cause I was orally temping. Orally temping didn’t help my charts at all. They were all over the place. I’m happy Pbn3 took notice and took over what I totally needed help with. I definitely need to relax and let happen what will or not :)

They always make me smile :) I have a life time supply of chill pills if the methaphorical kind is strong enough for you :wink: I'm going to look back at your screenshot of your chart. Nice you say you had a girl with low progesterone. I read somewhere that it sways blue. I know thats totally not true… My hubs Skype me today and asked whats next?..

My appt is at 9.30am and dh will be able to come 😀 He freaked out a bit after I said 'look at my tummy' this morning and said 'you don't think she wanted you back in two weeks because she thought she seen twins do you??' 😂😂😂 I assured him there was only one bean at my dating scan but the momentary look on his face was hilarious. He seems to be (albeit very slowly) showing a glimmer of interest which is nice :)

Nacire – yep, as much chill pill as you can spare would be cool ;)

PBN - how cute/funny was your hubby – it is lovely when they show interest, isn’t it? <3
I will be stalking mid-morning tomorrow then! :D

This weekend can’t come fast enough – I need to know or at least, be able to move on and plan next cycle….

Hi all my lovely ladies.
Somehow I stopped getting notifications for this thread. [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]
I need to start reading from when the page 2 started. Is everyone in 2WW? We were at opks when I was here last. [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51][emoji51] I hate missing out.
Hope everyone is doing good.

Hey missy!
How are you doing? I need to stalk the ddg so I can keep up with all the stuff happening for you pregnant ladies ;)
Tww here, yes – might start poas end of the week ;)

[kat1234]

LSMS - will be stalking this weekend!! Yay for TWW!

[LMSM]

Kat – as I was saying to Sky, will have to find time to stalk the ddg to see where you ladies are at and how you are doing ;)

Man I don’t know if it’s the dark rainy weather or what?! I am yawning like mad – too early for that to even be a sign, right? Tell me I am reading wayyyy to much into every little sign - :(
I had 8 hours of decent sleep last night, shouldn’t be so dang tired! lol

[maximbella]

I miss all you ladies in the ddg!

Pbn best of luck at your appt!!!

Ash, when is yours?

LMSM, I had way TOO much energy today...hope that's not a bad sign!! [emoji12]

Lola and I have our first appointment on 30th of June and Kat's is on 28th. Can't wait until POAS time. [emoji4][emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]🤞🤞🤞🤞

Nacire & LMSM-getting closer to test time! Watching your charts and can't wait to see some BFPs!!! Nice rises on both, Fx!!
Max-stalking your chart too! Oooo, look at that rise!! SO excited for you to test Friday!!! That will be 8dpo right? Our charts are similar & I got a complete BFN at 8dpo, then turned around & got a BFP at 9dpo, so don't be discouraged! SO excited for you!

[maximbella]

Ahhhh thanks ladies! I swear this is literally all I think about these days. I'm honestly going over my chart 6000 times trying to pinpoint when I O'd, if my attempts were pink or blue, driving myself crazy if I could have done more to sway pink, etc. I'm starting to test on friday morning with FMU. I'm so excited to start! I have 25 osom tests, should I start earlier than 8dpo??

Max-I know EXACTLY what you mean. I eat, breathe, sleep this stuff these days ;) You have enough OSOMs to test twice a day! That's what I did & glad I did b/c went from BFN to BFP at 9dpo! It was always reassuring to see the test get darker each day & again by evening. I'm not sure how early it'll detect-8 didn't work for me, but guess it also depends on when you implant! I slowed down on the testing and still have about 5 or 6 left...like having them there for the days I need reassurance [emoji4] Seriously can't wait for your testing!!

[LMSM]

Sky – lots of appointments in the next couple of weeks, so excited for you! :D

Max – I’m sure my tiredness is not due to a potential pregnancy- worry not – having energy is great! Your weather is hopefully better than us anyways ;) the cold, dark, rainy days are not helping lift my mood lol (ps: my little brother and his wife are NYC too^^) –
Liking your chat missy!
If it can make you feel any better, am doing just exactly the same thing – checking my chart a zillion times and try to interpret– on its own, against my old ones whether pos or neg, other people’s , googling symptoms… you name it, I do it lol and going crazy waiting! feeling deflated – like it couldn’t possibly be positive – I mean, me? Pregnant at cycle2? Like, no way! I’m friggin infertile I couldn’t possibly be preggers this quick! lol

[NACIREMADREAM]

Lolabelle - Thank you so much! I really hope so :)

[Skyblue]

LMSM - You never know. This could be it. Can't wait till testing times. I still look at my chart a few times a day to figure out if my attempts were right for the sway. [emoji12][emoji12]and google is tired of telling me that my symptoms might mean girl or boy but Good God would I give it a rest. [emoji12][emoji12][emoji12] I have officially lost my mind.
Nacire - I can't see your chart so having difficulty stalking. Could u pls help me. [emoji1317][emoji1317][emoji12][emoji12]
Max - Wow Friday. Can it be here sooner. [emoji51][emoji51] Waiting waiting.
I tested at 7dpo with a wondfo and it came out positive and was very clear.
I didn't expect it so I was not believing it. Kept it with me from
Morning to evening and then broke the news here. Only when everyone else agreed that it was positive and a positive frer later the same day, I believed I was witnessing a bfp.
Not that I want to push anyone to start POAS soon but just saying that this may also be a possibility. [emoji12][emoji12][emoji12]
And I really love staring at the sticks.
I m crossing everything for bfp my friends.

[TtcBlue18]

TtcBlue18 - I’ve always charted, but never did temping or opk (such a beginner I know) in the past. I only charted af and specifics lol. When I did start temping I was a bit pitiful cause I was orally temping. Orally temping didn’t help my charts at all. They were all over the place. I’m happy Pbn3 took notice and took over what I totally needed help with. I definitely need to relax and let happen what will or not :)

Ashfind _ That is relieving to hear :) 9 weeks already?! Gosh time is flying on by. I bet not quick enough tho..

LMSM - Thank you for the post! They always make me smile :) I have a life time supply of chill pills if the methaphorical kind is strong enough for you :wink: I'm going to look back at your screenshot of your chart. Nice you say you had a girl with low progesterone. I read somewhere that it sways blue. I know thats totally not true… My hubs Skype me today and asked whats next?.. I told him we relax and wait to test :nails:

Oh I would have made the same mistake, don't worry, you're not alone. I'm happy you have it straightened out now though. Did you recently O and are waiting to see if you get a bfp??

[Skyblue]

Awesome. Can u share the link so that I can bookmark it n keep stalking.

Oh awesome!! My fingers are crossed for you too! I hope you get your little girl!! I have two little girls, ages (almost) 2 and (almost) 4 and I'm after a little dude now. :) I'm on cd13 with positives yesterday evening and this morning. I don't chart, but I'm thinking I O'd today just because I had ovulation pains and bloating from noon to about 8 and now it's easing. I'm also playing the waiting game, so we can wait together. :)

[NACIREMADREAM]

TtcBlue18 - Awe I really hope you get your little baby boy! Definitely sounds very promising that you ovulated. Yes we can wait together:bigsmile:

Good luck with your appointment today Pbn! Can't wait to hear how it goes!!
Getting closer to testing time Max, exciting! Looking forward to seeing some test pics from you and everyone.
Hi to the new ladies I've not met before.
I think I O'd yesterday but it's a strange cycle for me as it's very early. If so, I think it was an o-2 or o-1 attempt. We will see!

[maximbella]

Ahhh so glad to hear that it's not just me! I swear I'm losing my mind lately! I've convinced myself that my sway failed and I haven't even gotten a BFP yet. Totally crazy lately! :)

LMSM, how funny that they are also in NYC! Great city!! We have agreed that if we have #3, we are moving to Connecticut though. Suburbs here we come! ;)

Curious to hear from you ladies....I've grown up with 3 sisters and now that I have 2 daughters, I don't really know what having a boy is like. I have girlfriends who have boys and they are so sweet, but have SO much more energy than my girls. Curious what life with boys is like for you guys. My sister has a son that I swear is the snuggliest, sweetest little guy and I'm obsessed with him....I just worry that a boy in our family with 2 girls that are so much older would be left out of everything!

[IWant4Kids]

I'm trying my best to catch up...

Maxim: Overall I find boys have more energy, but socially are soooo much easier (this is with my teacher hat on). I think having two older sisters, if you were to have a boy, he would have two lovely role models and he would probably be quite calm.
Yay for testing this Friday!


Pbn3: Wishing you all the best for tomorrow lovely! Great that DH is going. I'll try and check in during the day xoxo
My O day on both clomid cycles was 13 and then 17.

Sky & Kat - Yay for first appointments coming up!!

To everyone I've missed, hope you're all well xo

AFM: Feeling crabby, down, bloated, emotional; like bad PMS. Tomorrow is my third clomid tablet, so then only 2 left! Then the OPKs start :)

[XXforhubby]

^^^I agree totally with Iwant4kids! I too am a teacher, and I find this to be true. I also find boys that have older sisters to be more grounded. Boys in general are super snugly with their mamas, which is completely awesome!

Sky-I forgot how early you got a BFP & I believe it was dreaming who got a BFP at 6dpo! Max-test when you're feeling the urge to POAS b/c you could implant early & you just never know!!! I love how Iwant4 described having 2older sisters as a role model. My brother was 7 years younger than me & I just adored him. He had a head full of blond curls and I loved helping take care of him & showing him off lol. He did have soo much energy. I always described him as Dennis the Menace b/c he was so fast you'd only see his tracks lol. He grew up to the be the nicest gentleman, married & has a 1 year old daughter. He is such a hands on Dad! I believe all of the women in his life were great role models and raised him to be caring & respectful [emoji4] With my own 2 boys, yes they have LOTS of energy & keep me active. BUT they are super snugly & sweet!!

[maximbella]

Omg you guys, I'm an emotional mess this morning. Your messages made me cry! WTH lol.... That sounds exactly like my nephew Lola - he is insanely energetic, always hitting me with some type of sword and running around in his spider man costume, but then also lays his head on me and tells me how much he loves me. It makes me melt. My girls are so sweet, but they are also SO dramatic and girls can be so, so mean. I do want a dd, but honestly, what is meant to be will be and you guys are right, a boy that has older sisters can certainly get all those nice attributes from watching them. Lola, so sweet to hear about your brother!

Alright, so tomorrow is 7dpo, I *might* take a FMU osom test just for fun. I hate testing too early because I just get disappointed to see bfn's (especially after the past few cycles of seeing the same), but we'll see if I get inspired or not. My temps are going back up a bit, but in my last 2 BFP cycles they went down before I got a BFP, so we'll see.

Sky & dreaming, I cannot believe how early you got your BFP's! Have you guys confirmed if you're having a singleton or twins yet? I always thought twins would show up earlier on BFP's due to the hcg.

[Mommy2apples]

Oh Max are so much fun! They love their mommy unconditionally and oh can melt your heart with the cutest things they do and say. Yes they are rough and tough and love all boy things. I wouldn't trade them for anything.
My four year the other day!
I said do you love mommy?
Kolton: yes
Me: why?
Kolton: because you are nice to me and you are beautiful!
Talk about a major heart melt!

[kat1234]

Max!! You better believe I'm still here pulling for you. And just stay on that crazy train bc once your pregnant it will continue. I'm *usually* emotionally stable but not yesterday [emoji23] Worried about everything, health, gender, miscarriage, fear of twins [emoji15] (you're with me on this [emoji1325]).

Honestly, I think we are in a win/win! If a 3rd girl, then hopefully older 2 will include her. If a boy, then older 2 will mother him [emoji3] I think my 3 yo is going to be excited. I think my 6 yo will be hesitant maybe even jealous bc she will fully grasp what it means [emoji23] But, my 6 yo is also a caretaker so I will include her in everything and let her be my helper!! Now get that bfp and let's do this together Sista!!

Also for symptoms I had that tingly/letdown feeling like crazy in my boobs at 8 dpo which made me wonder. And I got a very very faint positive on 9 dpo like not 100% sure I believed it but a tad more noticeable on 10 dpo. My progression has been slower than others just FYI so don't let that freak you out. But, I'm definitely progressing and had a very very dark wondfo yesterday at 22 dpo.

[TtcBlue18]

I seriously think i may be the only one who waits for a missed period before testing :rofl:
Good luck to all you ladies! I'm so very excited to see if this is your month!

[Lolabelle]

Ttc-I admire your patience lol.
Max & Kat-I was seriously thinking how it is win-win for both of you either way. I think 3 girls would be so much easier than 3 boys! Love the idea of having 2 protective big bro's and a little sister, but this is our last-3 boys would be a handful. I would need for 3+ boy mommas to tell me how awesome it is lol.
Max-Fx that feeling emotional is leading up to your BFP! Try not to be disappointed if it's a BFN at 7dpo. Think of it as a baseline & an experiment as to how early you will detect your BFP! I really believe that since you've had your appt with an RE & she said it's not a matter of IF, but WHEN & knowing that Clomid is a backup plan, these things help to mentally relax! So I feel confident that you'll get your BFP and won't even need to try that route, but at least you know you have options!!!

[Lolabelle]

Oh & Max-they can chime in, but Dreaming has had her appt & it's just 1 healthy bean. Sky & I have our appt on the same day June 30th....so we'll see about twins for Sky...oh I'd be so envious lol (but of course super excited). Sky-drawing a blank, what were your thoughts on twins-would that be exciting or more shocking/overwhelming to you?

[Mommy2apples]

I have three boys Lola! It's a lot of fun actually! No hard at all, but then my oldest boy is 9 1/2 years older than my four year old and 11 years older than my two year old. Still fun though. Then baby girl is right there in the middle being mother hen!

Thanks for that Mommy! If this weren't my last baby, then I wouldn't feel so opposed to a 3rd boy. I just reallly would love that girl experience!!! I'm 38 & will be 39 when this baby is born...just don't think I see myself having more. I mentioned this a while back in some of these threads, but DH's bro & wife are having a baby girl in July & they're stealing our girl name & it just kills me!!! I don't think it's intentional & I think we may use the name anyway lol...just hope we have the opportunity! We've had this name picked out since before we were married & everyone knew our girl name. SIL is newer to the family & I really believe she just liked the name too since it's pretty common, but what are the chances?? Ugh!

[Mommy2apples]

Have everything crossed for you that this is your sweet baby girl! I think every mommy has their heart set on at least one girl! Did you post your sway yet or will probably do that after dating ultrasound right?

SIL is newer to the family & I really believe she just liked the name too since it's pretty common, but what are the chances?? Ugh!

This would upset me so much! We had a similar situation not long ago where my DHs best friend and his wife found out they were having a boy and she literally tried to steal the name my DH and I have had picked out for a boy since we had our first daughter. Except this was purposeful because it's not a very common name, and she took the middle name as well, just a few days after I had congratulated her on her son and told her the name I had picked out. I just thank God her husband is so kind to tell her no because it broke my heart to think there may be a little Oliver James running around my house that wasn't my own son.

[Shannshaff]

@lola - I can tell you that 3 boys has been awesome! they play together well and love on us all the time. They have LOTS of energy, but we can deal with that. And my lap is just not big enough for all of them :( They do get upset by that at time.

[Lolabelle]

Ttc-ohhh that would bother me SO much! Why do people do that??? Especially if they intentionally do it & you are around each other a lot. Luckily, DH's bro lives 10 hours away and we aren't in the same circles, BUT they have the same last name & we will look like the ones that stole their name ugh. Glad most of his fam already knew our girl name though....so we technically had the name 1st, but they're having the baby first. I can't imagine changing it just to appease everyone else. No one has the same name in my family or circle of friends where we live.
Shann-Thank you too for that. I do worry about life with 3 just in general as far as fitting in the car, bedrooms etc, but we will adjust and love all 3 either way.

[Skyblue]

That's sweet Shannshaff. How cute that must be. Sorry meant to
like not thank. Tapatalk does that to
me a lot.
Max - I agree with others that it will be a win win either way. We are three sisters and we have one brother. Our brother was fully trained to be happy and involved with females well. I guess growing up with older sisters is indeed a great thing. I am younger to him
though but we have always had a special bond. It's silly how I m recalling all this when all the ladies mentioned it. So u just relax and get ready to start POAS. 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
Lolla - I asked Dh about twins when we got bfp. The look on his face was a mix of happy and holy moly what on earth are u talking about [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
I don't think We are ready for twins. [emoji52][emoji52][emoji52][emoji52] Dh said please let it be one. Like I can influence that. [emoji849][emoji849][emoji849] What about u? Twin girls would be perfect.
Ttc- I waited two days after af was due to test with dd. With all the excitement here, 7 dpo was the longest I could hold. [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]
I m glad your friend's husband was so considerate. I would have hated it if someone stole my name on purpose.
I pray u get your Oliver James soon 🤞🤞

Pbn- Good luck for the appointment. I know u must b sleeping right now. Will b thinking n praying for you.

[Lolabelle]

Sky-and I'm so glad you tested b/c you could be excited that much sooner!! AFM-I think twins are very unlikely for me, but girl twins would be amazing! There were a set of boy twins on my mom's side-her cousins I believe?? I never knew them. Age is the only factor on my side. I just pray for a healthy baby-girl would be a dream and twin girls would be the best dream ever [emoji175]
Ttc-I pray that you get to use your adorable boy name too [emoji170]

[Skyblue]

Lolla - You have the body of a teenager. Honestly, You can easily carry twins. Age is just a number. I do get tempted with twins since we won't be going for number 3 and if we have twins then we won't have to and I will get the family I always wanted. [emoji12][emoji12]
But I worry because I am not a skinny bee and it will be so so hard.
I have bn out of the house most of the time these days since dd is signed up for so many classes and also it's a great distraction for me otherwise I
keep counting days until appointment and being my crazy self. I am happy that I am so busy and the days r passing by so quick. I only have tired feet because I am walking a lot. But I know it's good for me. I need to lose weight. [emoji51][emoji51] Being on boy diet did make me pack up on a few pounds. [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]

Ttc-ohhh that would bother me SO much! Why do people do that??? Especially if they intentionally do it & you are around each other a lot. Luckily, DH's bro lives 10 hours away and we aren't in the same circles, BUT they have the same last name & we will look like the ones that stole their name ugh. Glad most of his fam already knew our girl name though....so we technically had the name 1st, but they're having the baby first. I can't imagine changing it just to appease everyone else. No one has the same name in my family or circle of friends where we live.

Right, I think she just really liked the name and they were struggling to find a boys name to begin with because they were hoping for a girl. She even made the comment to her dh in front of mine that "They don't even have a boy and he doesn't want anymore kids so I don't see what the problem is" and it was kind of a stab in the heart when he told me she said that because she has her boy, and I may never get mine and I don't feel it was necessary to throw it in my face like that.

I think you should name your baby whatever you had picked out. If you don't, you may always regret it. I wanted to name my second daughter Olivia, but my husband had a cousin named Olivia and I just wasnt aware because I'd never met her being their family lives so far away. After I had fallen in love with the name my SIL tells me, "No we can't have two Olivia's in the family, our family just don't do that." So my dh said we should choose something different and we picked out Evelynn. I love her name but I do feel like it was a rebound because I settled for it after the name I had fallen in love with was taken from me. So I think whatever that name is, you should keep it and if it upsets your BIL or his wife, just explain to them :)

Ttc- I waited two days after af was due to test with dd. With all the excitement here, 7 dpo was the longest I could hold. [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]
I m glad your friend's husband was so considerate. I would have hated it if someone stole my name on purpose.
I pray u get your Oliver James soon 🤞🤞

Thank you! With all the ladies here getting Bfps at 6-9dpo I might start testing early too, that's exciting!!

[Lolabelle]

Ttc-do it lol! Nothing like a little peer pressure haha. The wondfos & OSOMs can easily be ordered off of Amazon. The wondfos are super cheap & are great for detecting early. I feel like I could see the progression better on the frer & OSOMs better though. Can't wait for all of you to start testing!!!!
As far as the name-she sounds completely inconsiderate! Unbelievable how some people think! Beautiful names you've picked out, sorry you felt like you settled. That's exactly the feeling I'll have if I change it! DH doesn't want to change it either. It's a super common name, but we have named our kiddos all "S" names & I loved this name before it got popular. When DH proposed to me he said "and we'll have lots of Sophia's." I've been waiting on my Sophia ever since. I *may* finally get my girl & it's almost like a cruel joke that they're using the name ugh. We see them maybe once a year, but DH talks to his bro on the phone a lot. They still haven't discussed the name & how we'd still plan to use it haha.

[kat1234]

Lola - Use your name!! Just make sure they have different middle names and all will be good [emoji12]

[Mommy2apples]

TTC: that's terrible she would even say that in front of your husband!
Lola:Yes! Don't change the name for them! Stick to the name you've chosen!

We have a name we absolutely love for a girl! Have loved it since our first angel baby.
Emmalyn Grace :) dh has a cousin who named her two little girls emery and Evelyn. Both close to our choice. Dh said there is no way we will change the name though. I wouldn't want to though.

Oh my gosh, Lola, that solves it! You must still use it. If it was in the proposal, it's a done deal! Looks like you guys will just have to include middle names on the rare occasion that they are together lol. I think I'm finally over the Olivia.. I have an Ava and an Evelynn and if I get another baby I'll be adding an Oliver or an Ivory, so it's all good. Plus if I get a boy, I will actually be using the male form of the same name lol... Oliver/Olivia; and then I'll be so grateful I didn't name my 2nd daughter that.

[Mommy2apples]

We have an Ashtyn Olivia TtC :)

My 9 dpo will be next Thursday ... crazy I could find out so soon!

Oops, actually I temporarily forgot my cycles have shortened to just 25 days... My period is due 3 days after, so maybe I will just wait lol!!

[Pbn3]

Morning all! It's only almost 5.30am so still awhile till my appt :) I've told dh I want to go alone. If its bad news I'll want to go and sit somewhere alone for awhile and not worry about keeping ds2 out, so better they stay home.

Maxim I just wanted to chime in and tell you my ds1 says things off hand to me like 'mummy I love your hair' or if I randomly wear a dress 'mummy I love your dress you look beautiful' and my favourite of all 'mummy you smell like love hearts' ❤❤❤❤
Your daughters will fall head over heels for him and it would be a beautiful thing to watch them growing up together 😍 In saying all this I think there's a far greater chance you'll have a girl though!

I absolutely with Lola that you should test tomorrow!!!!! Expect a bfn even until 10dpo'ish however I think we'll be looking at a squinter come 9do 😀

Nacire if you'd like crosshairs on your chart then go into cd7, 9,10,11,12 and tick the discard box next to temp. It will keep the your temps but not include them in its anaylsis and should allocate crosshairs now or in a day or so :)

Cant wait for LMSM to wake up and temp!!

Pbn3 - Prayers and BIG (((HUGS)))):bighug: I was looking back at my old charts and before being on the LE diet my follicular phase was always lower and never high. I don't know why it's so screwed up. I know you told me to relax but I'm not very hopeful this morning even tho I feel so different this week. I fixed the chart the way you advised and maybe tomorrow will be different :) Thanks so much for check into my chart today!

[Pbn3]

I'm not getting my hopes up or down because I have been feeling really pregnant 😀 yet have had some odd pains and cramps that make second guess 😕 hence the reason for sticking my head in the sand these past two weeks and my plan to keep it there until after my appt 😂

Good luck Pbn! Please let us know when you feel comfortable enough to share!

[Lolabelle]

Pbn-can't stop thinking about you! 3 hours now [emoji1374]
Sky-you're always so sweet! I worry that I wouldn't be able to breathe with 2 in there haha. That would be awesome for you to get your 3, but only 2 pregnancies!
Ttc-you could find out 3 days earlier so why not?! Lol Love all of your names with a "v" in it [emoji4] We considered switching to Savannah, but it's not as meaningful to us. Mommy-beautiful names! You should totally use yours too...doesn't matter if they're similar!
Ash-that definitely makes me feel better!
Kat-they are going with Sophia Grace & we always planned on Sophia Leigh, even discussed calling her "Sophie Leigh," afterall, we are in the south where double names are popular [emoji12] We just started watching a kid's movie & randomly, the little girl's name is Sophie!!...hmm a sign??

[NACIREMADREAM]

Lolabelle - Sophie Leigh is such a cute name!

[Skyblue]

I second that Lolla. Such a sweet name.

[LMSM]

Hey ladies,

Will come back and hopefully get a chance to read you all – just saw the comments you made about others taking “your” name – sooo can sympathise – my SIL had her 2nd son in December, and they named him with the only name hubs and I could agree on (though it was only my 2nd favourite – as my absolute fav DH is refusing) – was gutted…
Anyways, go with your long dreamed off girl name Lola ;) Sophia Leigh is uber cute – I will have bub #3 starting with an S too ^^ Samuel is what I have always dreamt my son of being called ^^

PBN – just under 1.5hrs before your appointment so thinking of you darl, and can’t wait to hear about how little Goldie (aka golden egg) is going!

I have another manic morning here at the office, and have meetings in the arvo before rushing home to get the kids and make a nice Bday dinner for hubby ;)

[Lolabelle]

LMSM-I can't believe that the name-stealing occurs so often! Did your SIL know?? Samuel-love it! We don't have a boy name yet & Fx we won't need one, but we recently discussed S boy names & that we like Samson "Sam" [emoji4] Fx so hard that you get your Samuel!! Have fun celebrating DH's bday. Praying that you get to give him that "extra gift" after you start testing & get your BFP!!!

[kat1234]

Lola -LOVE that [emoji175]

LSMS - Love Samuel too!

[Mommy2apples]

It's crazy how our taste in names change over the years.
