[changedname]

Happy April Fools day! Hope no one gets pranked!

Good luck mae141 on your transfer today. fx for you.


1) What is your status?

2) Anything coming up this week? (appointments, testing).

3) QOTW - do you have any names picked out for your kids yet? Care to share?

[G22]

Yes good luck mae141!

1. Waiting for AF to start. Sometime in the next week she is due.

2. Nope. Nothing til the next cycle begins.

3. H and I picked names out a few years ago. So far no friends have used them. And hopefully they don't, because we rarely agree on names so were lucky we have one of each so far!

Boy: Zane Roger ( middle is a family name for H)

Girl: Lila Jane (middle name was my gma's middle name)

[changedname]

1) What is your status? Having a nightmare still. I am now on my 4th week of lupron. One of my cysts has gone but the other one was still there on Saturday and my estrogen was too high to start stims for ivf. I go back on Weds to see if anything has changed and I can start ivf or if it is cancelled. I keep dreaming about ivf and am so anxious about beong cancelled.

2) Anything coming up this week? (appointments, testing). Wednesday is the big day. We also broke the news to FIL on Friday night so that was huge. He said the whole family keep thinking we are going to a pg annoucement (esp my birthday) apparently so it was a suprise to him. He wants to drive me to any appts that dh can't come to which is nice.

3) QOTW - do you have any names picked out for your kids yet? Care to share?
Yes, we have a couple of names
boy - Callum or Liam
girl - Noelle or Elodie
I hope I get to use them! (well, not all of them but 2 of them!).

[lola]

1) What is your status? CD15. I miss charting/temping because I don't know what that means in terms of O.

2) Anything coming up this week? (appointments, testing). Repeat progesterone test on CD18 (Thursday).

3) QOTW - do you have any names picked out for your kids yet? Care to share? We both like Thomas for a boy. That's as far as we have gotten. But I do have a spreadsheet going of names that I like. A column for first names and middle names, so I can move them around and see how each looks with the other. I'm insane.

[HoneySpider]

Good luck Mae!!

1) What is your status? I got my period on Friday! Yeah!! So my status is starting to get back to normal, but that's about all I know, haha Hoping that my cycles will go back to fairly normal and if so, maybe start TTC again during my May cycle, but we'll see. 

2) Anything coming up this week? (appointments, testing). Nope

3) QOTW - do you have any names picked out for your kids yet? Care to share? No, we started to talk about names once we found out we were having a girl, but we never decided or even got close to deciding - it was pretty much on the back burner and I'm now glad we didn't decide. We won't even start to talk about it again until we have a reason to.

I saw this on a friend's FB today and thought I'd share...it hit me hard.

[lola]

Oh! And good luck mae141! We're thinking about you today!!!

[discogranny]

1. Today? Tomorrow? Wednesday? should be CD1. Woo hoo, so exciting!

2. Nothing this week.

3) For a boy, we like Luke. For a girl, Radley, after Boo Radley. We have also decided that should we have two sons, the second will be Radley...so I guess that's a unisex name. Haha!

HoneySpider - I can't decide how I feel about that. I like the message but a part of me feels like it's too "think of the soldiers!" to use a ML-ism. As much as I hate those jokes I don't need the pity of the stupid people posting them. One day I will have/adopt a child and my infertility will be a painful memory but they will always be stupid as no amount of hormone injections can fix that.

[HoneySpider]

discogranny I get what you're saying...I don't look at it as a "oh you should pity me" kind of thing, but rather a hey asshats, let's not joke about something that's a really serious matter.

[lola]

discogranny - I LOVE LOVE LOVE the name Luke!

Unfortunately, long before I ever my DH I almost married a man named Luke. I am pretty sure this means I can never use that name. lol.

For a girl, I really like Joyce for a middle name. My H isn't thrilled about it though.

[dana2006]

Icedgems, that's gotta be so frustrating. Sending you positive thoughts.

1) What is your status? CD17. My last hysteroscopy on 3/14 indicated that the fibroid is no longer an issue. So this is the first cycle in 6 months that I'm not on bcp/prepping for surgery.

2) Anything coming up this week? (appointments, testing) Nothing scheduled. Starting next cycle, my doctor wants to have me try clomid/injections and timed intercouse for a couple of month and then move onto more aggressive treatment.

3) QOTW - do you have any names picked out for your kids yet? Care to share?
We haven't discussed names that much, but I'm always partial to Sean for a boy and Katharine for a girl. H likes Anaka for a girl.

[changedname]

haha lola I actually really like some English names but DH has vetoed them. Namely:

Boy - Rupert, Alistair, Spencer, Giles
Girl - Henrietta, Harriot, Poppy,


DH said absolutely no to all of them.

Ooh, I like Spencer and Poppy!

Ok, I opened up my spreadsheet to share with you ladies! lol.

For boys I have Thomas, Elliot and Ethan.

For girls I have Clara, Helen, and Harper. I don't think we'll use Harper though, because it's super trendy right now. But I really like the first two.

My H likes really traditional names like Thomas, Matthew, Julie, etc. *-)

[changedname]

I love Poppy. It is so cute. And Spencer. I hate DH sometimes for ruining my fun!

I love love love Clara. Harper is nice but The Beckhams have ruined it now.
ooh I also like Elliott.

lola - why don't you create a list at Babynames - then we can all vote for you!!

Here is mine: www.babynames.com/namelist/9819896

Another name I like is Arabella.

Oh.

My.

God.

It's like a whole new world was just opened up for me! lololol!

[G22]

My H vetoed Savannah, Cheyenne, Julianne. All names I loved. Apparently I like "place" names (minus Julianne). Maybe if we have 2 girls, I'll bring them back up and he'll forget he didn't like them 4 years ago???

I have a really hard time finding boys names I like well enough. And then to get H on board....oh dear....that's even harder.

[discogranny]

lola I always liked the name James, nickname Jamie for a boy, but DH's most significant ex is Jaime, so that one was out from the get-go.

[jewel]

Good luck Mae!!! Report back ASAP

1) What is your status? TTC since Oct 2011, CD 4

2) Anything coming up this week? (appointments, testing)? IUI # 1 was a fail. I just got home from my pre-clomid check for IUI # 2. The doctor doubled my dose, so hopefully that will help (and fx for no multiples).

3) QOTW - do you have any names picked out for your kids yet? Care to share? My husband and I haven't agreed on many names. We both like Miles for a boy, but that's about all we have. I changed my cats' names several times after I got them. I have no idea how I'll ever commit to a human name.

[speyedr]

1) What is your status? CD5 of first post m/c cycle.

2) Anything coming up this week? (appointments, testing). HSG scheduled for wednesday. This has been postponed since early december because of my pregnancy and m/c.

3) QOTW - do you have any names picked out for your kids yet? Care to share?

Owen, Ian for a boy and Emilie, Sadie, Analeise for a girl ...LOVE Luke as well but don't love it with our last name (rhymes with rock).

[mae141]

1) What is your status? Five day transfer was today! Of the 4 that fertilized, I only had one early blast today; the rest didn't make it. Plus my lining is thin. So I'm trying to not give up hope, but it's really hard to stay positive. The thought of doing this whole thing again is making me panic. 

2) Anything coming up this week? (appointments, testing). I go in on Thursday for blood/sono, but I'm not really sure why. 

3) QOTW - do you have any names picked out for your kids yet? Care to share? I can't bring myself to talk about names. I think about them though. I actually thought of one I loved the other day, but now I can't even remember what it was. 

[lola]

(((hugs mae!)))

I'll think some good thoughts for you.

[linz]

1) What is your status? CD 38. I'm not temping this round but since I took no drugs I assumed I didn't O. I'm waiting till May 1st to call the dr to get provera. I'm planning to go out this weekend for my bday and get snockered, so I'm gonna POAS before just to make sure, but I highly doubt I'm pg.

2) Anything coming up this week? (appointments, testing). Will do IUI #1 in May. I hate that I have to wait for my period after provera to set a date but am planning on the end of May for the IUI to happen. I'm just excited it's April! This month is my bday and anniv month so I'm excited. Plus it makes us 1 month closer to IUI.

3) QOTW - do you have any names picked out for your kids yet? Care to share?

[pamela]

Status: 10dpo based on a mostly good job at temping. I missed my temp on what I believe was O day thanks to a rough night with DS. But I can see a good shift and timing I think was pretty good.

Anything this week: Need to start peeing on thing tomorrow morning.

QOTW: Maricela Lisette for a girl. Undecided on a boy. We're really in trouble for a boy name if we have another.

[bronxgirl]

1) What is your status?
CD 15.  I've never had much success with temping,  but some of my general O signs are happening, so  I told DH we have to keep having sex this week.

2) Anything coming up this week? (appointments, testing).
Right now we're taking a break from treatment.  If nothing happens by the middle of the summer I am open to trying another round of IVF, but DH is on the fence

3) QOTW - do you have any names picked out for your kids yet? Care to share?
For a boy Michael and for a girl either Elizabeth or Samantha

[azurely]

1) What is your status?
[/strong]CD 16. We are waiting on approval from insurance to do some recurrent m/c bloodwork, then will hopefully do our first IUI with injectibles starting in mid-April.

2) Anything coming up this week? (appointments, testing).
Nothing scheduled, but I'm hoping we can get the bloodwork done asap.

3) QOTW - do you have any names picked out for your kids yet? Care to share?
Girls-Lauren, Emma, Kate
Boys-Finn, Drew, Reed, Lane

[Deleted]

1) What is your status?  13dpo, after #2Clomid cycle (drugs only, no shot). Waiting to see if things worked out.

2) Anything coming up this week? (appointments, testing). Hopefully not my period.

Love SVU!  Netflix is amazing because like the first 11 or 12 seasons are on there. And I watched them all.....in a very short amount of time. I'm proud and embarressed at the same time!

I had no idea! I'll have to check that out. There may be one or two episodes in there that I haven't seen before.
