Jaw Dropping June 2ww - part 2!

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 :)

^^^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!!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!!!

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?

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!

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?

Yes, I've decided I'll post it after my appt June 30th!

I think that's a perfect idea!! So excited for you!!

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.

@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.

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.

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.

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]

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]

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 :)

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

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.

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

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.

We have an Ashtyn Olivia TtC :)

No way I can stay caught up on here lol but Lola don't change that name for them! I have a cousin Ashley we live in the same town hardly ever see each other but once and a while and it is just fine.

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!!

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!

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 😂

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??
