Hi, just thought I'd jump in. I am way new to this thread so bare with me. My name is Michele, I live in Northern Nevada about 35 minutes from the California border. I am 33 years old and DH and I have been TTC since January. Welp, January & February have come and gone so we TTC this week. I am officially in the 2WW stage. I am CD-13 and 1-dpo. Thanks for letting me jump in!

Hi All: Happy green day!!! Hope you all are doing good. Hello, NVgirl, welcome great too have new people here, I am also in the TTW. DEA bleeding gums...hmmmm I dont know that is a sign. I am not going to test I think I am just going to wait until I go to the doctor. Hopefulk I am so greatful that your bleeding has stopped, I am sure that you will have a blessed pregnancy. Cendy I have my fingers crossed for you that everything will be ok. I am doing good, just waiting but I have broke out so bad and I HATE it. I do not ussually get pimples but this month I am?? My doctor appt is on Wed. so I am just on cruise control right now...Well lady's talk to you later...**BABY DUST**

Hello and Happy St. Patty's Day. Welcome NVgirl. Good luck in the 2WW. CC, I am so sorry to hear about your father. I offer you and your family my deepest condolences. Just know that we are always here incase you need any support. Hopeful, I'm glad the bleeding has stopped and that your going in for a check-up soon. Hopefully you will get the reassurance you need. Jessica and dea, when do you guys plan on testing? Cendy, I know your tests will come out perfect. I know how bad back pain can be. I've always had it even before I was preggers, so now; even this early I am feeling it more. Everything else is going fine with me. My m/s is worst in the mornings and when I let myself get hungry, but it is not bad enough to complain about. I am just so grateful to be pregnant I don't think I would complain even if it was real bad. I will be 8 weeks tomorrow and hoping that the next four will go by quickly so we can share our happy news with those we love. Have a great weekend.

Good Morning Ladies! CENDY: I'm sure sure your numbers will come out just fine. HOPEFUL: it would be interesting if the bleeding had to do with your period-the body can have a mind of it's own. NVGIRL: welcome. ERICKA: I've heard that the stronger the m/s the "stronger" the pregnancy- so keep the m/s coming... :o) JESSICAG: Is the dr. appt. to have blood drawn? The tww is being kind to me. DH wanted to test this morning but I told him at 9 dpo that all we would get (more than likely) would be a BFN. So I will probably test Mon or Tues. Here is something curious-- when I roll over in bed, I get a slight lower cramp as my body adjusts to the new position and then it goes away. This AM it pulled from my belly button. (And- I've heard ladies describe this sensation in early days before BFP) Listen to me to on and on- I always think that I'm not going to get my hopes up too high- then I start watching my body for the slightest twinge, cramp. The good news is that I will know in a week if I am pg or not. Take care everyone~DUST~~

CENDY: I almost forgot... Names. For a boy: Calvin Edward. For a girl: Viviana is in the lead... Erica is a close runner up- middle name probably Lynn. How about you?? Any thoughts at this point?

Welp, today is CD14, 2-dpo. Last night before bed, DH said to me that my boobs seem bigger. I said like pregnancy boobs… he said maybe. AGH!! Can it happen that fast??? Then this morning I felt a little queasy with sore boobs. I really think my head is playing tricks on me this month. Biggest fear is huge pregnancy boobs. I am a little gal of 5’2” but have always had a BIG CHEST. Anyhow, I am a 36D possibly on the edge of a DD. SO I have had in between shoulder pain my whole life! One physician asked me if I was a swimmer… because my shoulder muscles are so large. Nope, those muscles just have to keep my large jugs a float – can’t you tell? J/K never said that – wanted to, though. I can’t imagine buying a DD, E, or F maternity bra… that just scares the bejibbers out of me, because what will that do to my back? I swear the things that I think of and I don’t even know if anything took this month! I am 11 days from testing with the HPT. What if this is the month? Should I go to my OBGYN right away or should I wait? That is my question I keep throwing around in my head. If I wait until 10 weeks that is past the 9 weeks when I miscarried. I have no idea. I need to wait the 11 days then go from there. I am jumping too far ahead in my life book. LOL! Hope all is well with everyone. I am off for a day filled of fun. See you tomorrow! And <<<BABY DUST>>>

Hello all! Welcome NVGirl! I am glad you joined us. I hope your TTC journey is a short one. Many of us on this thread have been ttc for over a year with no luck. I wish you much luck and this thread is a great way to get the extra support you need through your journey. My dh noticed a week before AF was due that my bbs were getting bigger. The veins started to pop out and everything. I think breast enlargment is a good sign. I have my fingers crossed for you. JESSICAG-My face broke out this time with this pregnancy unlike my two previous ones. I think it is a sign that I am having a little girl. Maybe you are pregnant this month and its a girl. I am praying that is what is going on with you. ERICKA-Congrats on making it to the 8 weeks mark. I am 13 weeks today and feeling pretty good. The backpain is not as bad as it was either. I have taken it easy this weekend and laying around more. I think I over did it last weekend trying to get all the laundry done. I know you must be dying to tell your family and the next four weeks need to fly by so that you can tell everyone. Have you decided how to tell everyone? Are you going to make an event out of it or something like that? DEA-The lower pulling you are having is a sign I think. I had it and I think Ericka did too. I have a good feeling about you IUI this time. I know it worked this time. Your names are just beautiful. I do have names picked out. If it is a girl her name will be Madisyn Mary-Elizabeth and if it is a boy his name will be Jayden Oland Richard. I have been calling it Madisyn, because I just feel it is a girl this time. If it is a boy, I will be happy as well. I just so happy to be expecting again. Well, has anyone seen Sherry? I am starting to worry about her. Lashunda, HopefulK and Dlongen how are you all doing? I have to finish my homework so I will close for now. BABY DUST!

Hi All! CENDY: The breaking out is a good sign that your little one will be a girl... some things that I have read said that increased acne/greasy hair etc... is due to increased levels of estrogen to support the baby in the womb. Hence- girl!! It happened that way for my friend. Your names are beautiful! I have always loved that Mary-Elizabeth combo. Classy. I also notived that Jayden and Madisyn both have "y's" in them- Was this on purpose or is fate having her way? Thanks for the support and possitive thoughts! I broke down today and took a test. Dh has been asking. I told him that at 10 dpo that the odds of a + were extremely remote. So when it came up neg. he was like, "Your not pg." And I replied- "Well... if I am- it's too early for it to show up~!" The good news is that the hpt's are now out of the house. I think I will be patient enough to wait until Friday. The other thing is that by using bbt, I can tell AF is on her way because my temp dips before she shows. The temps never lie!! NVGIRL: I hope your signs are positive and this is you month! How is everyone else doing?? ERICKA, LASHUNDA, DLONGEN, CC: how are you? What's going on? JESSICAG.: Anything new to report?? Take care all- ~~DUST~~

Hello lady's hope all of you are doing good. DEA I am doing well I noticed today that my boobs are incredibly sore but I am also taking progsterone and that can cause some soreness and plus I do not want to get my hopes up too high although me and DH have been talking much more about it, I must be starting at least 10 sentences a day with "when we have a baby". NVgirl, when I started all of my meds I grew ALOT I was a 34B and now I am popping out of a 36C I still think that they are growing sometimes so I know how you feel!!!.Cendy, Lasunda I am glad that all is going well for you ladies. CC how are you doing? Good I hope. What CD are you on? Well I am so sleepy talk to you all later.

just popping in to say HI. Slightly sore bbs today-- nothing else new. ~~DUST~~

Hello! Happy Monday to you all. I am still waiting for my test results. I wish they would hurry up and call me already. I am trying to be patient, but it is hard. DEA-I am sure you just tested too early. What test did you use? I got my BFP 11 DPO with the First Response Early hpt. I would suggest using one of those if you can. So your AF is due on Friday? I am praying for you. As far as the "Y's" in both names, well the "Y" in Jayden is for my father that passed. His first name was Jay and we have even thought of just using Jay as a first name, but then I like Jayden. We added the "Y" so we would still be naming him after my dad. Now the "Y" in Madisyn came from my husband. We decided on the name and I showed him all the spellings for it in our name book and he thought that using the "Y" made it more feminine rather than using an "O" which seems mors masculine. JESSICAG-I too used Progesterone, but the soreness being pregnant was definately worse than other months not pregnant. I am thinking it is a good sign for you. Have you noticed the white bumps on your nipples? This is a sign as well. I have to go now. Talk to you all later. Have a nice day. Lots of BABY DUST!

Hi ladies!! Just popping in to say hello. Today is CD16, 4-dpo. I hate the 2WW. Today has got to be the slowest day I have had in a really long time... I really hope the next 9 days fly by. AF is expected around the 29th or 30th. If she shows I think I am going to take a month off to destress and relax not to mention that i am not too keen on having a christmas baby. Anyhow, hope all is well. TTFN.

Hi ladies, how are you all doing? Me? I am good just in the longest TTW of my life. Well Cendy, I looked and yes I have a few but I dont know I do not want to get my hopes up and get let down. I go to the RE in 2 days so I will know soon. I can not wait today I was just sitting there at work, I had to call my DH just to tell him that I really hope that this is the time. DEA, anything new? I have my fingers and toes crossed for you. I really hope that this is your month also. NVgirl our cycles are close!! If I am not mistaken I am right between you and DEA, anyway anything new? I really hope that this will be your month. Well ladies I will drop in later.

OK Girls- call me crazy- I was checking out the bbs today and it looked like there were some blues lines (Probably just wishful blue lining) But, I though I would make a note of it. CENDY: I used a hpt that makes you wait till after AF. But, I picked up HPT yesterday. I would have bought First Response- but they didn't have any. I will probably stop by Dollar Tree today, too. They are soooo cheap- I can't resist! I am 11 dpo today. So maybe tomorrow the BFP will finally show up. I am really setting myself up for disappointment this cycle. Stupid- I know. But I can't control my hopes. (Maybe it's nutty pg hormones!! ha!!) Temp is "way" up (98.5) so I hope it stays. It usually starts to drop, around tomorrow, if AF is on her way. Thanks for listening to me ramble! Enjoy the day-~~DUST~~

Morning ladies! It is getting so hard to tumble out of bed each morning. I swear I could sleep night and day if my dh would let me. Anyways, still no news from my doctor about my test results. I am getting really anxious now. I will keep you posted. NVGIRL-I hope the nine day wait goes by quickly. I understand about taking a month off, but I am a December baby and I think December would be a great month to have a child. I know the Christmas holiday would be hard to work a birthday party in, but I am sure you could do it. JESSICAG-Oh, I am glad you saw a few! That is one of the signs I saw on this site when trying to figure out if I was pregnant or not. I am rooting for you! Just two days and you will know for sure. I am so excited for you! DEA-I am assuming by blue lines, you mean your veins are showing? That is a great sign as well. I am so glad your temps are staying high. I just know you will get the BFP this month. I just know it. Well, as for me besides being tired and eating like a pig. Literally a pig. I ate two bowls of spaghetti last night without blinking an eye. This baby is going to be 10 pounds, I just know it! I have to go for now. Take care all! BABY DUST!

Hello again all - you guys have been active since I wrote! I'm excited to be a part of such a supportive thread! I went camping this weekend so didn't get to check in for a few days. DEA- Thank you so much for all the abbrevs! I feel a little more like I can understand the lingo now! Cendy - I am on 50mg clomid on CD 5-9. This is month 2 and I think I'm on my good side, although my ultrasound was not on a telling day :-( - my cycle is about 33 days so next month we will have to schedule the ultrasound a bit later to see if a dominant follicle has developed. CC - Sorry about your Dad. I know that is so hard. Good luck with the IUI - is that in vitro? Anyway, maybe the exhaustion from dealing with the loss, etc will take your mind off baby stuff and make it easier to conceive. HOPEFUL - Thank you for the encouraging story about your sister. It makes me hopeful for sure. In general, my DH and I are in a bit of a rut. We are hopeful of course, but just a little down. His sister got pregnant the same time as me last year and now has a healthy baby boy. It's hard to see him all the time and not be jealous. I know that sounds awful, but it's just hard. We had 2 babies born in the family last year and sure wish our timing was better so they could all grow up together. NV girl - I am sorry you had a miscarriage. I really hope you try regardless of the bday month. For some who have been trying so long, it is hard to imagine worrying about the bday date. No offense, but a blessing is a blessing, no matter the month. Hang in there with your DD,E, F worries. I share your concerns as I've had back issues. But, at least it's temporary - start doing your ab and back exercises now! take care all - thanks for all the kind thoughts and baby dust!
