Home pregnancy test

lol omg i knew it would be something simple!

 

[beckmrk04]

Most of the abbreviations are simple-and once you hear them it's like "Doh!"

I couldn't figure out BFP or BD for the LONGEST time- had to look those up eventually.

(For the record, it's Big Fat Positive and Baby Dance (sex))

 

[aces_babydoll]

Ah Ha! LOL
I get it!

Those ones I don't think I would have guessed on my own. LOL

So sorry Minnesota!

 

[Pollito916]

Minnesota - I am so sorry for your loss. I think the candle idea is beautiful. It kinda makes me cry thinking about it.

QOTD (5/11) : I don't have plans, but I would like to surprise DH in a cute way. I'm not very creative when it comes to that stuff. My only idea is similar to the monkey onesie, but with baby chicks on it, since that's his nickname for me. But I don't think I will be able to keep it from him for even one minute. Neither one of us can keep a secret, it kinda ruins x-mas.

My mom insists she will know before we do, but I really don't know when I want to tell her. Part of me can't wait, and part of me is afraid to tell b/c of my medical history.

That sounds so cute!

Minnesota,

I am so very sorry. I really hate using a stupid smiley at a time like this but to you.

I have been where you are, and more than once. If you need anything, or just want to vent, please please PM me.

I am sorry for your loss.

 

[DaniDownUnder]

Howdy all... I'm Dani in Australia. Getting married to my partner of 5 years in July, and frantically trying to lose 50 lbs to help with TCC. I'm also on metformin (a diabetic drug) to help sort out my hormones. I had a brush with cancer last year, managed to solve things with meds rather than a full hysterectomy. However my doc says if we don't conceive in 2 years, she will strongly recomment the hyst. So... we are planning on trying full blast this from this Christmas...I'm hoping for a nice lil pressie.

Cheers...

Hi Dani ~ welcome, congratulations on the wedding and good luck TTC!!!

 

[AllyandJack]

Thanks Carla. I really appreciate the support I am getting on this thread. I only knew for 3 days or so that I am pregnant, but already had so many dreams for this child. I had the strongest feelings this baby was to be my daughter. I had the same feelings about my son (that he was a boy). I just am so mixed up. I was already looking at Gymboree clothes...LOL....

Anyway, I plan on doing something for this baby. A little memorial or something. It just feels right. I think I might get a candle holder from Things Remembered with the dates of my m/c on it...something I can light and remember my babies that have gone back to God.

I did the same thing....cribs, high chairs....even though I sort of knew from the beginning it wouldn't last (my beta was only 15 at first), I let myself believe it would turn around. Now, I feel like an idiot for doing that.

I think the candle is a beautiful idea. I got a little box with my dates - date of transfer and then date my beta reached 0. I put my hospital wrist bands in there and the little dish where they were created in there. I don't keep it out in the open, but I look at it every now and then. It's important to remember them even though we never got to meet them.

 

[AllyandJack]

Welcome, Dani! Congrats on the wedding. That would be one heck of an X-Mas gift to get a positive test - or at least a great way to start 2007.

 

[Minnesota!]

Welcome Dani!!

Carla - your memory box sounds so sweet. Such bittersweet feelings, huh? The joy you felt at "it's positive" and the crushing blow not much later.

We are going full force into TTC now...this has just made my desire SO much more. I am going to be doing a Vitex cocktail this next round..will go in at 7dpo for progesterone. If it hasn't increased...I will ask for Clomid...

 

[beckmrk04]

Hi Dani!

Minnesota: I wish you much luck and baby dust!! Have fun ttc!!! We're going at ttc full force, too. To be quite honest, it's getting a little tiring!! LOL! But, still fun and worth it!

 

[beckmrk04]

Reread OP for QOTD!

QOTD: Dh and I are both kind of leaning towards a girl, but we know we want to have 2 or 4 kids, so, it really doesn't matter to us. We're really hoping for a healthy, happy baby- no matter what sex it is!

I think we're both just partial to girls because we spend so much time with our nieces. But, when I think about a little Spencer Thomas, my heart just melts, too.

 

[AllyandJack]

QOTD 5/12: I have to have girls. I have no boys' names. I'm down to Zebediah. So, if I have a boy, it very well might be named Amelia.

 

[ImarriedGrumpy]

QOTD 5/12: DH makes no secret of the fact that he wants girls - in fact, he strongly insists that we're only having girls. He says we'll have Miriam and Bess and then we'll be done, and our girls will be quiet, obedient, demure and sweet children. I always laugh and ask him whose genes he thinks are going to be creating these sweet, demure, quiet, obedient girls, because I don't think we'll be getting those qualities from either of us! Quiet maybe, but only because they're plotting something!

I also remind him that he's responsible for providing the x or y swimmers, and all I've got is x's, so it's his fault if he doesn't get his girls. He just repeats to me "no boys! I was a boy, and I know how much trouble they are." I keep telling him that girls can be trouble, too - especially when they start getting hormonal - but he inists that we'll have sweet girls who will never be hormonal like their mommy...

Personally, I'd love to keep the 1st born daughter chain going for another generation, and I'd love to have a daughter just to see DH melt when she snuggles up to him. But I'd also love to have a little boy who gets his daddy's earnest expression on his face when he's about to tell me something very important. So I'll be happy either way, and hopefully DH will come around, too!

 

[KimR]

It seems as though we would be hoping for a boy since we already have 3 girls but DH and I are both hoping for another girl. We already have so many girl's toys and clothes and it just seems like it would be so much easier. I'm used to girls; I don't know what I'd do with a boy - although I'm sure I'd figure it out fast enough! Also, I'm more suited to be the mom of girls: I'm very much a 'girly-girl', love clothes and makeup, hate sports, and enjoy the relatively quieter temperament of girls. Having said that, though, if we have a boy, we will be thrilled!

Dani - welcome! Even though I am not TTC, I love being a part of this thread. Until they kick me off, I am here to stay. Is your name short for Danielle? I always wanted to name a girl Danielle, but DH didn't like it - so we have Emily and Hannah. Sometimes I look at Hannah and think she would have made a beautiful Danielle, and we would have called her Dani.

So if we have another child, it will be Danielle if it is a girl. Our original boy's name was Nicholas Jon. I still like the Jon (it's DH's middle name) but I have no idea what the first name would be.

[Jen_in_NH]

Minnesota - I'm so sorry. I think the candle sounds like a beautiful idea.

As fas as girls or boys, neither DH or I have any preference one way or the other. I always say "she" when talking about a baby. I would like to have at least one boy, just for the whole "carrying on the family name" DH is an only child, his uncle never had children, and his grandfather was an only child. So, just in case the girls change their name when they get married, there will still be one person with his last name. It wouldn't matter so much, but we're the only people in the state of NH (at least with listed phone numbers ) with our last name.

Hopefully all of you going to WDW soon will come home with "souveniers" Good luck!
