Hello, welcome to our first check in on the new MM Mom board. We're home! :heart: :heart: :heart:

Good luck to DCRunnergirl who is having an IUI today!

2. Any news/AWs/vents to share?

Just know that Suri is probably judging you.

1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? Cycle 15, CD35

2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? We had our first RE appointment this week and we're feeling hopeful!

3. QOTW: In honor of the SSA name list coming out AND Suri's Burn Book getting a book deal, pick one "unique" celebrity baby name you would give your child. You can choose from this list here or elsewhere.

Holden used to be on my list so I wouldn't mind it. I've also known a few girls named Brooklyn and I kind of like it.


I have a question....we have been TTC for 15 months and according to my FF chart info the longest my cycle has ever been was 32 days (during two very stressful months for me) and usually is exactly 29 days. I am now on day 35 and kind of wondering what the hell is going on. I had my HSG at the beginning of this cycle so maybe that has something to do with it? Obviously I've peed on a million pregnancy tests and they're all negative. I am waiting for my period so I can start Clomid and schedule my ultrasound, etc. Should I call my doctor about this?

[womet]

Good luck DCRunnergirl!

1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? No where right now. Can't seem to regulate my cycle. Just asked for BC from the RE to see if I can have a few days respite from bleeding.

2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? See my post below about the bad SA results for DH. I've done nothing at work today and am contemplating taking the rest of the day off.

3. QOTW: In honor of the SSA name list coming out AND Suri's Burn Book getting a book deal, pick one "unique" celebrity baby name you would give your child. You can choose from this list here or elsewhere.
Holden isn't bad for a boy. The names for girls on this list are so much worse than the boy names. Well, they're all horrible.

1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? CD20, started Femara last night to see if I can grow some follicles

2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? No more than usual

3. QOTW: In honor of the SSA name list coming out AND Suri's Burn Book getting a book deal, pick one "unique" celebrity baby name you would give your child. You can choose from this list here or elsewhere. I really like Suri. I'm suprised it's on a "unique" list. I could live with Kingston.

DCRunnergirl - good luck!

Hello everyone! I am coming out of lurkdom to join. I have a 2 year old and we are thinking about TTC #2.

1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? I am thinking of ending BC after this pack (I'm on a 3 month pack) and then TTA until September. One of the posts last night got me worried that maybe instead I should try to stay on BC until September..

2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? Excited to join you all!

3. QOTW: In honor of the SSA name list coming out AND Suri's Burn Book getting a book deal, pick one "unique" celebrity baby name you would give your child. You can choose from this list here or elsewhere.
I do kind of like Ireland.

I've never shared it before so I hope this works:

www.fertilityfriend.com/home/364733

It worked. But there's only one cycle to look at so I can't compare them. Anyway I'd probably give it to Monday and then call the doc and see what they want to do. But fingers crossed for a late implanter.

Really? How do I get the rest to show up?

Oh, it says only VIP can link multiple charts....I added last months to it but that's all I can do.

1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? Cycle 6, CD 19

2. Any news/AWs/vents to share?

AW: I got a positive OPK this cycle, and our timing was pretty good... I'm hopeful.

Vent: My 19 year old BIL and his GF of 5 months just announced they are 3 months pregnant. I can't even touch this subject....

3. QOTW: In honor of the SSA name list coming out AND Suri's Burn Book getting a book deal, pick one "unique" celebrity baby name you would give your child. You can choose from this list here or elsewhere.

I like the name Ryder ( I think that Kate Hudson has a kid named that...)

What has your longest luteal phase been? It looks like this cycle it's 16 days so far, which is on the high end of normal but nothing too crazy yet. That's why I'd probably give it a few days.

[HoneySpider]

1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? Cycle #4, CD 21

2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? Not much...we've kind of just been having fun with it but I'm going to start charting

3. QOTW: In honor of the SSA name list coming out AND Suri's Burn Book getting a book deal, pick one "unique" celebrity baby name you would give your child. You can choose from this list here or elsewhere.

Wow some of those names are atrocious....I'd say out of the list I would pick Brooklyn if I had to.

Good luck to everyone!

[ejpint]

1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey?
CD12, we've been TTC since August.

2. Any news/AWs/vents to share?
This is our first cycle with Metformin and Femara - no positive OPK yet, but I'm hopeful that this works! Other than PCOS and my existing thyroid condition, all of our other tests came back fine.

3. QOTW: In honor of the SSA name list coming out AND Suri's Burn Book getting a book deal, pick one "unique" celebrity baby name you would give your child. You can choose from this list here or elsewhere.
I like the name Poppy, but more as a nickname. I can't imagine my imaginary daughter being introduced as "Supreme Court Justice Poppy" or "Doctor Poppy" (no pressure, imaginary daughter).

[dcrunnergirl]

Thanks so much, everyone, for the good wishes. IUI was fine this morning, but as further proof my life is like a sitcom, they sent us to the wrong RE office today. When we got there, they informed us that we were at the wrong place, so we had to high tail it to the other office about 25 minutes away while carrying DH's "live ammo". It really was right out of a TV show.

1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey?
IUI #1 for TTC#3 today (is that enough acronym for you?) The cycle included 5 days of clomid plus 4 days of very low dose bravelle injections and the trigger injection.

2. Any news/AWs/vents to share?
None right now.

3. QOTW: In honor of the SSA name list coming out AND Suri's Burn B

It's not a unique name anymore, but I really liked Hazel when Julia Roberts named her DD that. Also, we already have celebrity names: Jason Jones and Samantha Bee's (from the Daily Show) kids are named Piper and Fletcher. We didn't know this until after our LOs were born.

[Becca]

I am at CD10 right now. Supposed to be our first month TTC, but now I am not sure if we will go for it or not.... DH and I need to talk, and while I feel ready, it is still a scary conversation - so much to think about!

Friday I get the results of my tests for clotting disorders. I am freaking out about it.

My average and max are 14 days according to FF. I will probably wait it out a few more days and then call. I've having what I think are PMS cramps for a week now.

[CloudBee]

Cycle 3
CD 15
2 DPO

I think we had perfect timing this month. Excellent, in fact.

DH has been completely onboard with TTC. I had this fear that he would be scared when the time came. But now, he is asking tons of questions, and iniating quite a bit. I think it's very real to him now, and I am so happy.

[jenn248]

Good luck, DCRunnergirl! Glad you made it to the right RE with the goods on time!

1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? See below.

2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? BFP on May 5 and it's still pretty surreal (we were only on cycle 4). My first doctor's appointment isn't until the eight week mark (two weeks from now), so if you know me IRL or on the DC board, please keep this on the downlow, as I am hesitant to tell anyone IRL this early.

3. QOTW: In honor of the SSA name list coming out AND Suri's Burn Book getting a book deal, pick one "unique" celebrity baby name you would give your child. You can choose from this list here or elsewhere.

I wouldn't willingly choose any of them but Harlow kind of goes with DH's last name if I had to pick one. It sounds a little too much like "harlot" though.

Yay!

[kangaroo11]

Since we had that clusterfuck last week, I might as well post it *officially* here.

1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? BFP on May 7, 1st appointment one week from today

2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? I have been sick since that BFP and I'm so tired of the snot and coughing!

3. QOTW: In honor of the SSA name list coming out AND Suri's Burn Book getting a book deal, pick one "unique" celebrity baby name you would give your child. You can choose from this list here or elsewhere. Rowan

[jenn248]

Thanks, ladies! And congrats, Kangaroo!!

[biogirl21]

1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? Cycle 8, CD 30, 12DPO

2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? I've been spotting for the last 2 days and I would like it if my period would just freaking start. Last week I said that my friend who had a baby in December announced that she's pg again. Well the next day an old HS friend announced that she is also 8 weeks pg. She's been married since December and has been with the guy since August. That's just great. And here I am on the verge of cycle 9. Thank you so much life.

3. QOTW: In honor of the SSA name list coming out AND Suri's Burn Book getting a book deal, pick one "unique" celebrity baby name you would give your child. You can choose from this list here or elsewhere.Off of that list I'd have to say London. I do think that Suri is an OK name too though.

1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey?

Cycle 20, near the end but not sure what day as I didn't chart because I had a hysteroscopy.

2. Any news/AWs/vents to share?

Just waiting to do IUI! We are doing our first one in June!

3. QOTW: In honor of the SSA name list coming out AND Suri's Burn Book getting a book deal, pick one "unique" celebrity baby name you would give your child. You can choose from this list here or elsewhere.

I think Lennon is cute but would never actually use it.

[kangaroo11]

Thanks girls

[lmb5109]

Congrats Jenn & Kanngaroo!!!

[7costanza]

1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? Cycle 5, day 10.hoping to O in the next few days.

2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? I think I have a luteal phase defect, and have an appt with a new doctor today to hopefully get on progesterone.

3. QOTW: In honor of the SSA name list coming out AND Suri's Burn Book getting a book deal, pick one "unique" celebrity baby name you would give your child. You can choose from this list here or elsewhere. Poppy is alright. I know a Holden and a Kingston IRL, both kids of friends.

[statlerwaldorf]

1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey?

2.5 years, break cycle due to unrelated medical issues

Blue Angel, but only if I could drop Angel.
