@stefan612 So tacky. Ugh. I'm sorry.

 

[stefan612]

@jesusrwaldron I could go on for days about how tacky this person is

 

[ka__f]

@mesta831 I don't mind sharing the sex of the baby, but I won't publicly announce it or anything!! I agree talking about names never goes well because people have such strong opinions.

 

[dan5211983]

@ka__f I don't plan to either. However I always imagined that the first baby I would want to know the gender and share it with everyone, second baby learn the gender but keep it a secret from family until birth, and third baby surprise gender for me and everyone! lol don't think DH will allow.

 

[ka__f]

@dan5211983 I can't keep secrets LOL. Me and everyone who cares to know will know the genders of my future children.

@ka__f There was a colored dress code requirement? This is like the requirement to wear black to bachelorette parties. I'm bringing a gift, spending tons of money on the person and probably taking time away from something else. Please don't also tell me what to wear.

 

[ka__f]

@briannas Right??? And not even normal colors, very specifically "mint" green... Blah. I'm glad most of the party attendants didn't follow.

 

[stefan612]

@ka__f I'm glad it wasn't awful

 

[ellis]

@ka__f Sounds quite cute, but I'm with you - definitely not my cup of tea!!

@ka__f I saw a video of a couple that had the the doctor write down the sex on a piece of paper rather than tell them in person. The wife went to the store and picked out two outfits one girl/boy and asked the cashier to wrap the appropriate one while she looked away. When she got home her and her husband opened it and were surprised together. I really like the idea of finding out at home just the two of us and it being a private moment for only us to share.

 

[ka__f]

@mindyy137 That's cute. Much better than a huge party!

@fasthello CD 1 for me. I am actually excited!

• Friday Ex-bff asks if I am going to her baby shower ( I didn't), cue ugly crying .
• Saturday I got trolled pretty hard by a evap line.
• Sunday morning remembered I needed to pick up my progesterone to restart my cycle. Sit at Walgreens for 20 min to get it. I started spotting right before the season finale of Westworld, went ahead and took proegesterone just in case AF pulled a fast one one me again.
• Woke up this morning to full flow.

So I did ovulate on my own. I also get to start clomid Thursday cue freaking out. I would just wing this cycle but I don't trust my body to ovulate again.

 

[ngillfil]

@sunshine100 What a weekend! Cheers to your first round of clomid. My hopes are high for you.

Will you be monitored by ultrasound?

 

[sunshine100]

@ngillfil They said it was optional, I will probably push for it since I did ovulate on my own and early last cycle.

That is if work co-operates!! They sent a message to the doc, and when they call me back I will ask about it.

 

[ngillfil]

@sunshine100 For me, ultrasounds are so much less stressful. They take all the guesswork out of it. And I did not miss peeing on OPKs. Plus you can get a real understanding of how your body is reacting the meds.

Luckily my RE is only 10 minutes away from work so that's super convenient.

 

[sunshine100]

@ngillfil I have to drive about 30-40 min into Austin with traffic. What day would I go for the ultrasound?

 

[ngillfil]

@sunshine100 They usually had me come in around CD11.

 

[briannas]

@sunshine100 Boo being trolled but yay ovulation!!

 

[sunshine100]

@briannas Thanks, I was of course disappointed, but super glad that ovulation did in fact occur and I was not crazy.

 

[briannas]

@sunshine100 I'm finding so much of TTC is forcing yourself to be optimistic and focusing on silver linings.
