Hey Jaque, Oh hon, I'm soooooooo sorry that the stupid hag showed up. I'm SHOCKED! I thought for sure this was it for you. I like your new ticker. It's very cute. I hope this is the last one you do for tracking your cycle, and next month's is a pregnancy tracker! I hope you didn't take it too hard sweetie. I'm doing okay. I've been very tired lately, and eating WAY too much. I need to slow down b/c last month I gained 4 pounds more than I was supposed to. I've been eating a lot of chocolate and sweets in general, and I really shouldn't be b/c my sugar was borderline for the gestational diabetes test. I've really got to stop. As for the baby, I feel him/her kicking all of the time. This baby is very agressive and much more active than Yesenia was. It just has to be a boy. My ultrasound is next Friday, and I'm so anxious for it. It will be so hard to tell them not to tell us the sex. I secretly want to know in a way, but in another, I really want a surprise. I just don't know what I want, but my husband really wants to wait. Well, I hope you are well. I hope that Emily comes back someday, b/c I really miss her. I hope we haven't lost her. I'm gonna' go email her and see if maybe she lost the address to this page. P.S. Do you know where Karina S. posts? I would love to start a chat with her too since she's so close to me in our pregnancies. We're only a few days apart. Love ya', Alisha

Hello ladies!!! I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry that I haven't been posting. My husband has had family in town for the last few weeks. We have a very sketchy relationship with them, so it was extra exhausting. Also, I'm working about 45 hours a week and WORN OUT!!!! I've been sick, as has my dd, since last Tuesday, so it's just all I can do to get up in the morning and get to work. I am so sorry. I've caught up on all the posts and am back. Please forgive me. First of all-Jacque-ughhhh! That stupid b%$tch!!!! I'm sorry, girl. That plain sucks. Me too, as I assume you've guessed. The story of the pregnant women did warm my heart. Thank you so much for sharing it! I'll check the website later to see all the awesome pics! Alisha-20 weeks! You're getting so close! I love that the baby is kicking and you're hearing the heartbeat! soooo fun! I too am ecstatic that Harry Potter is coming out..can't wait to see it! Just a heads up...I saw my ob again and she thinks that we've exhausted our options with metformin and just plain trying. So, she started me on 50 mg. of clomid cycle day 5 of this month. I am CONFIDENT that this will be the month because I think that I just need a little jumpstart. although, you'll get a kick out of this. When I went to her office I asked her to tell me the exact numbers on multiples so Scott and I could talk about it and pray abou it. She accidentally gave me the stats on IVF, so we were freaking out about a 40% chance of multiples! It turns out it's just a 10% chance. Scott was having a panic attack. Anyway, I'm waiting to ovulate. I think it will be sometime midweek, so please pray that my illness goes away, so I can be in the mood and that we will have lots of energy to bd! Thanks gals. Don't know what I would do without you! Love, emily

Hi Emily, I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo glad that you are back. You have been a busy girl. I was worried that you had given up on us. I'm so sorry that the hag showed up for you too. Maybe the Clomid is all that you need. I'm excited for you to ovulate so you can get the chance. Try to BD like crazy, b/c that's what worked for me. I was MISERABLY sick too. Remember, I had an eye infection, an upper respiratory infection, a bladder infection, a yeast infection and the flu all in one week. It was so terrible. Luckily I didn't get the yeast infection until after I had ovulated, so I was able to BD through the puking and all. I remember thinking, "I better get pg this time, or else I will be pissed-after BDing with all those infections and the flu!" Well, as you know it worked. I wish you both all the luck in the world! Alisha

Hello girls, How are you both? Jaque-I do think it is a good idea to track your temps, but if you're sick of it, take a month off. As long as you ovulate regularly and bd like bunnies, you should be fine. Maybe taking a month off will be all you need to get pg??? I soooooooooooooo hope so honey. I can't relate with the sick of temping things, b/c both times I've temped, I've only done it for a couple of months before I've gotten pg. Please don't take that the wrong way. I'm not trying to brag, but that's how it happened in my case. I consider myself blessed, and I never judge others that say they are sick of it, b/c I don't understand what that's like. I think a mother's intuition is almost always RIGHT ON! So, maybe your body, or God are trying to tell you something. You do what you think is best. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. Emily-Are you working a gazillion hours again this week? I'm sure that you're a busy beaver, but I love it that you still make time for us girls every now and again. Update on me: I'm feeling VERY excited b/c my ultrasound is this Friday at 8:00 am. We just can't wait! Even though we're not finding out the sex, it's still exciting for us. We always have the chance that we might see something-then we can speculate, which is sooooo fun. I just want to know if I have only one baby, and that he/she/they are healthy. I can't wait to hear my baby's heartbeat, and see his/her little fists and face. I will never forget the moment I saw Yesenia's sweet face on ultrasound. It was the most precious moment of my life, until the day she was born. I cried so hard and couldn't stop for like 3 hours afterwards. We went to Olive Garden and I was still crying. The waitress thought something was really wrong, but then I told her that I was just happy b/c I got to see my sweet baby girl's face. I found out another two ladies at my work are pg today. One of them is my friend, and the other is the secretary of my school (she's my friend too, but not as close as the other one.) It was a SHOCK about the secretary, b/c she already has 4, and her youngest is in Kindergarten. We thought she was done. It was also a shock, b/c she's only 4 weeks behind me, and noone knew until today. She's such a stinker! All this time I've been talking to her about my pg, and she's had a sweet little secret of her own that she kept to herself. I've never heard of someone keeping it a secret until they are 17 weeks pregnant! Goofball. Well take care girls, Alisha

Oh, I forgot to ask for your opinion. We're having second thoughts about our girl name. I need to put out a poll... Originally we thought about the name Gracyela Reigh (nickname Gracy Reigh pronounced, "Ray".) But, in Spanish Rey means "king." And she is growing up in an area of Oregon that is 87% Hispanic and will be going to a bilingual school. We don't want her to get teased. We could just name her Gracyela and call her Gracy. I'm not sure. So, here are all the choices. Will you tell me which one you like the best? The third name is the middle name after the first two. Gracyela-Reigh Marguerite Gracyela-Reigh Deanne Mireya Deanne (pronouced like Meer-eya) Braylynn Baylyn Emma Grace Abriyel (pronounced like Aubrey-el.) Tessaray Tessa Denise-ann I haven't suggested a middle name for all of them, b/c we haven't decided. It will either be Marguerite, Denise-ann, or Deanne. If I haven't suggested a middle name, and you think it sounds good with one of them, will you please tell me which you prefer? Jaque, If you want to make this a "vote" item, you can copy the message and do it. I'm not sure how to. I just really want your ladies' opinions. Thanks, Alisha P.S. I think my favorite is still Gracyela-Reigh, but I really want to hear what you two think, so be honest. :0)

Ok Ladies: I am going to have to reply to your posts one at at time, so I will end up with five posts in a row.... but that is ok, because I have so much to catch up on! I had a feeling that AF was going to show, the day before I just knew she was going to arrive. I had this feeling, it was not a bad feeling.... just a feeling, so when she got here I was not total suprised...... that is ok. I have a huge plan all formulated for a BFP this month... you see, Kailey wants a Brother or sister for Christmas. She prays for it every night, she talks about it all of the time, she even draws pictures of our family with a new baby and our and Trent in the sky watching over us..... so, more then anything I want to be able to give her a baby. I test on December 2nd - if I get a BFP we are going to go to the DR right before Christmas, I will be about 7.5 weeks then. I am going to have an ultrasound done, I do not care if I have to kick some ass... I am not leaving there without a photo of this baby. Then I am going to give it to Kailey, from Santa.... along with an I'm going to be a big sister shirt and a bib that says I love my big sister! WooHoo! She will be so happy..... I hope all works out that way, if not her Birthday is in February.... so maybe this could be a Birthday Present also.... Ok.... I have so much more to say, but I gotta get Kailey off to school. I will be back on in about 2 hours. Thanks for putting up with my slow posting! Love, Jacque

Well, there is no school here tomorrow and I will only have a few kids! WooHoo! I hope that we can start making our Christmas Crafts... I ordered over 500 crafts from Oriental trading, and it only cost me about $100! WooHoo! How awesome is that? Kailey is making some for home, some to mail to family, the day care kids will also be making some, and then I am in charge of the Children's craft center at Kailey's school (for the Bazaar) and those kids will be making some of the crafts also!
Alissa I had high blood sugar with Kailey also, I hated that Glucose test, I had to take it three times!!!!! Are you getting more rest? Is your belly getting in the way yet? lol As for Karina, if I were you I would send her a personal message or start a thread asking for her specifically in the buddy group, or even start a new buddy group for all of the pregnant mommies. If you need help setting anything up please let me know! Emily is around, just not posting as much as normal.... I hope she starts checking in more often also. Once in a while I have emailed her and told her to check in! lol She is just so busy!
Ok, gotta check on the kids... I will post more in a few!

With this post I am caught up through the 7th of November! WooHoo I am almost all caught up. Shame on me for falling this far behind!
Emily: Dear God girl, you have to slow down.... between family and work you are going to drive yourself crazy! "50 mg. of clomid cycle day 5 of this month" WooHoo! I hope that it works for you. Diane (she is a member of this board) is the Clomid Queen, if you need anything you should talk to her about it, maybe she can offer you some advice or incite on what the Clomid is like. Renee (also a member of this board) has terrible side effects from it, but Diane has not really mentioned anything other then mild weight gain. So I guess it varies from person to person. Good luck I hope it works.... I hope you feel better soon, and you never know... maybe you will end up with twins! I would love to have twins! When will you be ovulating?
WooHoo 7 days until Harry Potter!!!!
Ok, I have two of Alisha's posts to catch up on, but that has to wait until after Parent Teacher Confrences... so I will be back on later tonight!
Love,
Jacque

Hello, girls!!!! Finally some time to come back and see how my two best ttc friends are doing!Again, please know that it's not personal. I feel more overwhelmed than I've ever felt in my life, so I'm coming to check posts, but am just now getting a chance to respond. Alisha--OOOhhh, I love baby names! And I LOVE the names that you guys have picked out. Without a DOUBT, my favorite name is Gracyela-Reigh Marguerite. I think it is absolutely beautiful! I'm curious too, is your belly getting in the way? You need to take pics and email them to us! We'd love to see them! I hope you're feeling okay and getting lots of rest...as soon as that baby gets here you're going to be busy! Jacque-Okay, girl, when are you ovulating? What cycle day are you on? I am PRAYING that you will get pregnant for Christmas! That would be perfect! Bed like crazy, girl! So, here's my update: the best news is that clomid didn't give me one bad side effect this month!! I am too excited. I couldn't even tell I'd taken it. So, let's hope that this will do it. Also, we have bd'ed like rabbits this month (considering our schedules and the past months). Basically we bed'd every day at least once from cycle day 11-13, took a day off on 14 and bd'ed 15. PLEASE be praying that we timed it well. I started noticing watery cm on day 11 and eggwhite on 12 and 13, then dry. But, my opk didn't test positive until 13 and 14. What's up with that? But, I have PCOS, so it's possible the opk isn't accurate. Who knows. How soon do you think I could test? My average luteal phase is 16 days. Also, I'd been gone for so long, because in-laws were in town, which is always stressful for me. And last weekend was my dd, Scottie's 2nd birthday!!! I can't believe I was pregnant with her two years ago! It was awesome and beautiful! She's such a big girl. That's enough for now. I'll check back later. Love you girls to death! em p.s. I'm sending you both pics of my family to your email addresses. Let me know what you think!

Hey girls, Can I just say, OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOSH, I CAN'T WAIT FOR TOMORROW TO GET HERE!!! MY ULTRASOUND IS SO SOON! Oh wow do I need to catch up now. Okay, first of all, we changed the pronunciation of Abriyel. We will pronounce it like, "Aubrey" "el". Does that make sense. I think it is my new favorite. I've done a poll with my family and it is everyone's favorite now. I too love Gracyela-Reigh, but it's such a common name in Spanish, and she will be growing up in a Spanish majority culture. It would be like if her name were Elizabeth or Maria. It really is very common. As you know by my daughter Yesenia's name, I like them to be original. So, I think my new favorite is Abriyel and I'd choose Gracyela for a middle name maybe. Jaque, I'd love for you to post a poll about my baby name choices. What a great idea. I'm going to try and pm Karina because I think it would be really cool to chat with her. Do you know her? I soooooooooooooooooo hope that your dreams for a Christmas baby come true. That is so precious that your sweet girl is praying for a baby brother or sister. I will pray that she gets one. She is such a cute little girl! Yes, my tummy is getting in the way. I'd love to post some shots, and my sonogram photos, but I'm not sure how. I think Kristina might tell me how though in a post. She wants to see tomorrow's sonogram photos. Emily-It sounds like you need to rest too girl! I'm sorry you're under such stress. I'm so excited about the Clomid, and I think your BD pattern was great. As for the odd opk results, I just don't trust those things. Mine never looked positive, so I quit buying them after two months and just tracked temps, cm and cervical postition. For me that was much more accurate. Testing date, I'd wait the 16 days past ovulation. Easier said than done, but remember my horror story! I had to wait until 17dpo, which was 7 days past my normal lp, before I got my bfp. It SUCKED! Congrats on your dd's 2nd birthday. I really want to see a picture of her, but I couldn't get it to show. I'm going to go and try again. I will send you the picture of my family tonight as well. Love ya' girls! Alisha

I AM A CHAMPION MY FRIENDS...AND I'LL KEEP ON TYPING TO THE END! I can't believe I finally figured out how to insert my photo into my signature. Yippee! I hope you two enjoy. Well, I can't believe we did it. We didn't find out the sex, and that was our last chance! However......we think we saw something. When the tech was doing her exam, she zoomed in on the legs and all of a sudden they were spread eagle, and my husband and I both looked at each other with a big grin. We didn't say anything at the time, but...as soon as we got out of the room, I looked at him and said, did you think you saw anything? He said, "Yep, I think I saw some frank and beans!" It was so dang funny! We both saw the same exact thing at the same moment, so we now REALLY think it's a boy. We are of course only speculating, but I could sware I saw two little balls, or as my husband says, "BIG BALLS!" He's so stinking funny! It is so fun that we think we saw something, and if it's true, then my mother's intuition is SO RIGHT ON! I really believe this will be a baby boy, but we could be wrong. I'm so glad that I waited to find out the sex! Jacque, I posted my sonogram in the sonogram section for you. Thanks for putting my ultrasound on the news board. You're SUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH a sweetheart! Love ya', Alisha
