Charlie is such a cute name for a boy! Mia is a lovely name too!
For our girl name I have Renley picked out---Ren for short. I am dead set on this name and it works with our others boys names which can all be shortened to 3 letters. We have a Sam, Dex and Ted.
and thanks, I DO have just as good of chance as anyone else at having a girl! I have a lot of people rooting for me too which is nice. I know I will have a lot of baby showers if I hear pink!
Hey there ladies. Definitely gets busy in here. I have had Atomic tell me we can ttc, so nervous about it though. I will have to write up a meal plan for myself for the weeks leading up to our first attempt. I'm in Australia so my boy attempts months are March-May. I have to get more confident though. The plan is so thorough I am afraid I will forget something. I'm thinking of first attempt being April.
I will be honest, I have bought some baby boy clothes :) I had a huge weakness though. I know quite a few people having babies this year. I couldn't help myself when I was shopping for others, lol.
I haven't discussed with Dh but, I am thinking either Connor William, Connor Robert or Connor William Robert. Robert is Dh's middle name. While I love William as the middle name, our youngest has the middle name Kate. So, our youngest two (when we get our boy ;) ) will have Kate and William as middle names. We aren't followers of the royal family, the names just suit, lol.
^^Haha, I bet no one would even catch on. They are both classic names, so it makes sense that you would like them :)
I ALWAYS have a running name list. Lol. I just enjoy thinking about it. Me and dh aren't too bad about agreeing. We've had it easy enough with the other three. We will struggle a bit for a girl. Nothing pops out as "love." But a decent list of possibles: Clara, Isla, Elliott, Eliza, Esme. I have several for a boy: Ezra, Thaddeus (Thad), and Sullivan. Only one of those is dh approved. I'm pretty sure he will shoot own Thaddeus. Lol. We have the middle names for either, after my dad or his mom. I struggle with the name "fitting" with the kids I have. I'm weird like that ;)
Hotdogz- I love the name Sullivan but my Dh shot that one down along with Dalton and Tobias. He is so darn picky! The only boy name on my list right now is Remy and Dh is unsure of it as am I.
okay I am really worried and confused right now. I woke up this morning with cramps and went to the bathroom and I am bleeding/spotting. I haven't had a positive ovulation test except for the one that was super close to it a few days ago and I have to say this...I have never ever ever spotted during ovulation. What could be going on?! Did I cycle super early and now I am pregnant or getting my period 2 weeks early?? According to my period date I should be on CD14 today. My cycles have been irregular for the last 6 months.
Hotdoz Clara is such a cute name. Rosie so is Renley. Mia as well and but that is my sister in laws name I've always wanted that name for a daughter. She would probably be excited though. lol. My name list includes Kylie Marie or Khloe Marie for a girl and Kingston Amir for a boy or Kyson Amir but dh has already stated he is not a fan of Kyson....
You have all picked such gorgeous names. Here's to using them next year!
Rosie I wonder are the supplements that you're taking really messing up your cycle? CD14 is very early for af isn't it? Although it could possibly be the supplements. I don't think ovulation would ever make you spot. I'm not sure though. Why don't you ask Atomic? She would most likely know what's going on.
Try not to stress too much It's probably something small.

I haven't started any supplements other than folic acid! So it couldn't be that. I am having very sharp pains below my ribs too, unsure if it is related. This is just so strange. I took both a pregnancy and ovulation test, both are negative.
Gosh that is strange alright. Poor Rosie. I have no idea Sorry I'm not much help. Has the bleeding gotten worse? Does it feel like af pain? I wonder is it af then if you say your cycle has been irregular. Your body could be all over the place even if you are dieting very strictly maybe.

Unfortunately it is more of a sharp stabbing pain with some light cramping which I never get during my period oddly enough. I almost wonder if I am not having a cyst or something on my ovary that is perhaps rupturing? The pain is enough for me to want to take some meds.
Rosie, I hope you're ok! Can you call your doctor? I love the names you all have picked out. For us we love the names Kate or Piper (our friends aren't a fan of it but we like it)! I woke up this morning really dizzy and slight chest pain. Going to make sure I get enough potassium today, but I've been drinking a coconut water every day anyway. Yesterday was a super hectic day at work and I didn't get to eat enough so I'm guessing that contributed to how I felt this morning.

Rosie, Maybe you should ring your doc and ask him over the phone At least it will put your mind at ease.

I didn't see that post sorry Rosie, I would call the doctor and ask to speak with the nurse, that way she can get the message to the doctor and call you back and let you know something (whether to come in or not). That's how my doctors office works. I hope everything is okay
Hmmm Rosie. I think I'd call a doc. The pain is what worries me. I don't think it's normal to have a stabbing pain under the ribs. I'd wonder about a cyst as well. I doubt it's related to pregnancy or your period at this early stage. Especially since your tests are negative. But I wonder (and forgive me, I haven't had a cyst before), if as your ovaries are preparing an egg for ovulation, you are getting pain and bleeding because the ovary is already swollen and irritated from a cyst. I also know a woman who spotted with kidney stones. But I think you would have more symptoms in other areas of your body as well. I hope you figure it out. I know I'm always frustrated when my body goes haywire, so I know you must be feeling confused. Keep us posted!
In other news...I still haven't gotten a positive OPK, so I'm safe. Lol. I'm sure it will turn positive today or tomorrow, but it will be far enough outside the window that the chances of pregnancy would be very small. Whew (note to self...don't play this game anymore!)
oh ladies I wish I could call a doctor. I don't have health insurance atm though :tissue: I won't go in unless I am literally bleeding out and dying.
I took a small nap when my littlest did and I woke up without the extreme sharp pains but I still have some cramping and bleeding when I wipe. I guess I will ride it out and see what happens. Hoping for nothing serious and no pregnancy.
Hotdogz-I think you will be safe too! If not you can join everyone else from our old due date group! haha
I have had a cyst before, it's a painful cramping but I didn't spot until it burst. Before it burst it was a pain where I couldn't stand up straight, like a menstrual cramp sort of. I remember when it burst I was at the grocery store leaning on the cart, I just hit the floor.
I hope whatever it is goes away and fixes itself Rosie
How are you feeling now Rosie? A little better I hope.
Loving these baby names. As someone mentioned, I hope we get to use our names soon :)
Hotdogz, I had a few suggestions of names for our youngest. We settled on one very quickly (the other kids we were thinking of the names for months before deciding). I suggested the name Ava, dh shot that down by saying "Is that even a name". I suggested Alannah or Alyssa. Dh likes Alyssa and that was that. The name Kate just seemed to really suit the first name.
Well Rosie How are you today? Do you feel any better? Are you still bleeding?
boysway, laughing at your dh asking is Ava even a name! Men!! I have Ava on my list, along with Ella and Isabel.
If my cycle keeps to 28 days I'll be six weeks from my attempt this weekend. Getting serious now!!! When are you guys having your attempts?

Hello ladies! I only have very light spotting now and brown colored. Still no positive ovulation test though so I am sooo confused. I have cramping and a lot of lower back aches and lower abdominal aching. I really don't know what to make of this. Thank you for thinking of me though! So kind :HH::awe:
If I am not pregnant now and huge fingers crossed that I am not I will make my attempt in about 6 weeks as well I believe...as long as I even ovulate....feeling pretty discouraged atm. Starting march 1st I am going to start exercising 5 days a week instead of my 3-4. I will also be starting the rest of my supplements.
oh I also have come down with a sore throat and stuffed nose...I always get that when first pregnant. really hoping it is a coincidence!!
Oh my gosh, keep us updated Rosie! Can't believe we are almost in March.. our attempt will be in April. Getting closer! Is it a coincidence that the closer it gets the more I want to cheat on the diet? Maybe nature is trying to tell me im not meant to have a girl. Haha.

I have been wanting to cheat too dreaming! I just really really want a cheeseburger and other comfort food especially since I am not feeling good now.
I am really not doing well right now, I have an odd pressure in my back and belly and the bleeding started up again. It comes out when I pee and is stringy. oh how I wish I had health insurance right now! I just want to go in.
Rosie I really think you need to call a doctor That pain and bleeding just doesn't sound right. Can you just pay for a normal surgery visit without insurance? That sounds crazy.
Sent from my GT-S5369 using Tapatalk 2
daisy-the costs are astronomical here. I would probably have to shell out over 1k for the visit especially since the only place I would be able to go to today is the Emergency room. Doctors book out like crazy here and we just had a huge snowstorm and tons of roads are closed down.
I have been reading more into the ovulation bleeding and I still think it could be that. If it is, like I posted elsewhere now could be by chance for twins?! The internet seems to think so anyhow. Dh would NEVER go for it though so I would have to lie my way into BDing. He is super against twins even with knowing they are a real chance in my family since we have generations of them.
Rosie...I'm so sorry you are in this strange limbo! Everyone I work with is in MN and said it is really bad!!
I really wonder if it could be a m/c afterall.
Really NC? Too funny. Yeah it is bad here. It wouldn't have been so terrible if the wind wasn't up to 50mph last night creating huge drifts everywhere and now it is bitter cold again.
I really don't think it is a miscarriage unless I got pregnant during my period. I have taken hcg tests and they all came up negative. Hoping it passes by tomorrow. do chemical m/c show up on tests?? I have never had a M/c before and know nothing about them.
oh and I can't believe you are already 7 weeks along NC!! Sorry to hear you have been feeling soo sick though, hopefully that vitamin D with the nausea stuff really helps you!
It doesn't sound like a miscarriage to me...timing-wise or symptom-wise. If your HPTs are negative, I'd doubt it's a chemical or a miscarriage. I wouldn't rule out an "extreme" ovulation, could be releasing more than one egg. Or experiencing particularly high hormones this time around. Isn't it always when we *need* to count on something (like normal cycles) that things go off the track and toss a curve ball?!? I'd keep an eye on it. And keep testing with OPKs. I wonder if you are annovulatory so far (like your body tried and is failing, causing the cramps and bleeding?) and will gear up again. I had an annovulatory cycle after each of my boys, right when my period was coming back and they came with bleeding and cramping. But it is hard to know if that was because my cycles were trying to start up or because it was annovulatory (ya know?)
Our attempt will be in July (I know, I know...wrong thread!). I thought we would try in April, but we pushed it back a bit (not saying 100%) to July. Ill start my diet loosely in early May and buckle down in a couple weeks. I would like 6 weeks on it. And I think, based on current ovulation patterns, it will be more like 8. Dh will start olive leaf in May. Ill start aspirin in may. Not much else though. Ill be behind all you guys, but I don't mind. I like this group, so ill chat in here and stalk you all while we try :)
The more the merrier I say in the thread whether you are swaying at the same time or not! I love chatting!
What you are saying hotdogz about that annovulatory thing makes sense. There is a first time for everything and why the heck not when I would want it the least, lol. I will keep doing the opks and see what comes.
that's crazy money for a visit Wow. Hope you're coming out the otherside of it now. More than one egg being released sounds like what it could be. God twins can you imagine? It would be lovely though wouldn't it? You still might have twins when you have your attempt, you never know! My mother's two sisters have twins. I would love twins Think my dh might react a bit like yours though ha!
hotdogz great you're sticking with us. A lot of us could still be trying well into summer anyway so we may aswell all stick together! :):thumbup:

Rosie, are you sure it isn't a severe UTI? Is it painful when you wee? That's insane cost to see a Dr :( it's so wrong to charge so much.
Speaking of twins, I have had a few psychics tell me I will have twins. A palm reader I saw in December said %80 chance boy/girl twins or two babies very close together. Since this is our last baby, I don't think we will have two close together. He said I would be pregnant this year. Dh wasn't keen on a baby when I saw the palm reader. Then, early January, while eating dinner (kids weren't around) dh randomly says we should start trying for a baby as soon as possible. I guess we will wait and see. Strange thing given my cycle messing around at the moment, two psychics have said I may have trouble conceiving.
Girls I saw 3 magpies today!! 3 for a girl! Think I'm clutching at straws now but it did make me smile! :)

daisymoo, 3 magpies for a girl? Anything that makes you smile has to be good but, what do you mean?
it's an old old saying "one for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl and four for a boy"!!!

Rosie, I did eat chocolate (and still do!) but gave up as soon as pregnant as the texture turned me green both times.Quote:

Oh and I see a few of us are SAHM. Going to start looking into some sort of homework when DD2 goes to nursery, see if I can get something on the go before LO comes along.
Oh and I'll add you all to my friends list if OK. Looks a bit empty TBH x
Rosie, how are you?
daisymoo, Ah, okay then :) Fingers crossed it's a good thing for you :D Personally, I have a phobia of Magpies (attacked a couple of times). But, if seeing 4 Magpies means I might get my boy then, I hope I see 4 :D ;)
dreaminginblue, Thank you for the welcome :) Mine was the hormonal Mirena. Fingers crossed we all get our bfp's and successful sways quickly D: Feel free to add me, I have no friends ;)
We could have had out attempt these past few days. Atomic suggests my first OPK's that looked + would have been a fake ovulation. Then, the +OPK's I had on CD 30 were the real thing. Bugger! I honestly haven't stuck very well with the diet lately. Plus. Dh went away Friday and didn't come home till Sunday morning and he was tired so, there would have been no chance anyway.
Hey ladies. Still cramping a bit with pain and periodic spotting. Still unsure what to make of it but I am letting it go and still testing for opks. Still no positive. I am wondering if I somehow could have missed it or if I am just not going to get one.
I am 8 weeks into the diet so far and have around 8 more to go so I decided to have a complete cheat day. I enjoyed a cheeseburger and fries as well as some ice cream! Oh yummmmy!
Tomorrow I start back to finish off the last 7-8 weeks before our first attempt. I will start exercising 5 days a week instead of 3-4 like I was. I am thinking M-F and having sat and sun off. I have been sick so if I am not better I will start the week after for exercise.
Wishing this all was over already, I am tired and just want to eat. I wouldn't be surprised if my bleeding had to do with the low protein and fat. Anything for a baby girl I keep telling myself. I am almost there--half way there. Here is to hoping I get pregnant first attempt. I will cry my eyes out if not! I did the other 3 times but this diet has done some crazy things to my cycle already so who knows!
Rosie, just make sure you're getting all the right nutrients xxx hopefully you get answers soon.
Me: I'm none the wiser as to whether I have ovulated. OPK's are fading so I guess LH levels must be going down. I'm on CD31 now. Wish I knew what is happening :(

Hello ladies! I hope everyone had a great weekend!!
Rosie: The time will be here before you know it! That is so exciting!!!
Daisymoo: I had to google magpies never heard of them before. Interesting saying.
Boysway: When is your first attempt?
So I have a question ladies..... more of a what would you do...So I am going to have two cycles in May the 2nd and 3rd and the 30th and 31st. My finals are like May 15th I believe. I am not one to stress over tests but I don't want swaying and the tests to stress me out. But we are going on vacation at the beginning/middle of June and I won't be able to stick to the diet as much. Would you make your first attempt after the first May cycle or after the 2nd May cycle therefore making your first attempt in June. I have an idea on what I want to do. Just wondering what would you do. I would normally ask my friends but they don't know about any of this.
I had to google magpies too! haha I have never heard of that saying, I like it though!
Boys-I am wondering if we both somehow just missed the prime time for testing for ovulation because my lines seem to be fading now too and I never saw a positive. I am going to get some digital tests and use them on the day where my tests look darkest I think because this guessing game is crazy annoying.
Married-I think you should do the first attempt! Atomic always says to not put things off or wait until the perfect time and especially if you are going to lack in your diet I would attempt before that happens!
