Hellobee Boards

@whenoceansrise: Super cute!!!:) I love what your DH said, mine is super excited, too. And, because its Friday and I am happy, too, here are my pups Ellie and Lucy.

Aw yay is it doggy time!

This is my 8 year old Penny

officially in the TWW y'all!

@whenoceansrise: Btw I love that wall art along w/ wedding pics! I might have to save that pic as inspiration! We moved in a year ago but our walls are still blank b/c I'm so indecisive of what to put on there!

@whenoceansrise: Just commented in the other thread, but yay for good timing! Looks good for you this month - fingers crossed!

@whenoceansrise: yay for the TWW. So exciting. As for the due date, you just have to laugh and go with it! I'm due December 11 but I estimate (because of ovulation date) it will be a week later so getting much closer to xmas day. I think you just would have to make it extra special for the child. My friends friend who has an Xmas baby doesn't put the decorations up until after they have celebrated the child's birthday to make it more about birthdays than Xmas so that could work!

@whenoceansrise: That is a horrific tragedy... I am so sorry to hear about your loss of your step dad Maybe God is at work here afterall with your potential due date!

@whenoceansrise: oh that would be perfect. It would help bring some positivity and happiness into what just have become a sad time.

@whenoceansrise: They seriously are like dog sisters. Its actually kind of funny because the Yorkie, Ellie, ran away for a month last year. I got, Lucy, the black and white mutt two days before Ellie returned. She was ticked when she saw Lucy but now they are really close. Here is a gag photo shoot I had for them.

Also, I am very sorry to hear of your step-father. I pray that God brings you and your family an extra bundle of joy this Christmas season!

@snowjewelz: Oh my goodness, your pooch is precious!

I am deciding to not focus on OPKs vs not using OPKS...Ugh...this would be so much easier if I didnt get off zoloft this month in prep for ttc. Anyway...anyone want to share baby names? We like Madeleine (his fave) and Camille (my fave ) for a girl and Liam or Ethan for a boy.

@simplyfelicity: I got pregnant the 3rd cycle. First cycle I didnt do anything/didn't know what to expect. We had lot of stress re: DH's job at the time too, so we weren't really BD'ing either. Second cycle I temped, but wasn't sure when I O'd and didn't BD enough either. March turned out to be a much better month for us finally, so I temped, used OPK and BD EOD and got a BFP! FYI also, for me, first cycle post BCP was the same length (27 days). The it became a few days longer, and my 3rd cycle was 37 days. But it's very different for everyone! My friend got KU immediately after she stopped!

@simplyfelicity: I'm having the same issue of wanting to feel like I am doing everything I can to get pregnant quickly, but also agreed to just start out by having lots of unprotected sex. I have been reading up on cervical mucous and CM changes throughout the month. This have given me something to feel like I am doing more without really doing too much more.

Do you do anything relaxing like yoga/meditation? That may also help let go a bit!

@simplyfelicity: I know how you feel! Once you start learning more and more about TTC, it's hard not to get really caught up in it! But it is God's timing so you can get KU without doing much, or you can do everything and nothing happens. Just go at a pace you are comfortable with The great thing here is that everyone is so supportive no matter what your choices are!

@simplyfelicity: @snowjewelz: @As Time Goes By: I'm feeling the same way this month. I am finding the emotional roller coaster really difficult. It just feels like I'm not in control at all and that is so frustrating!

@MrsHansen82: Aww I hope you feel better! TTC really is a roller coaster. I think we all just do what we can, and hope for the best. And if it doesn't happen, at least there are so many of us here to support each other in whatever stage we're in!

4dpo and soooo over this wait.

@snowjewelz: Not really and I kind of feel like it's not going to happen for me this cycle. At church last night I prayed at the altar for God to bless me with a child which I've been in prayer for this for months. Our associate pastor's wife came up to me in tears and said that she had a word from the Lord for me and she told me that God doesn't want me to worry or to be anxious. That he knows what I've been waiting for and that he has already ordained this to come to pass. He wants me to not focus too much on the future, but on the present because He has some things right now for me. Then she proceeded to pray for me and we were both in tears. I kind of feel like God was trying to cushion the blow when I get a BFN this cycle. I mean, He could be confirming this pregnancy for me or He could just be telling me to trust Him.

@ChiCalGoBee: I'm going to do all I can to keep myself busy!

@snowjewelz: Thank you so much I'm still hoping to join you in the december board!
