    Keli - we chose maddison because we like maddy and sheree is my cousins name - the one who made our maddy possible, she donated me her eggs. She doesnt know yet, to be honest im surprised i have kept it a secret from her for so long she will find out when she meets her

    epayne - good luck with the weight loss, hopefully by changing your motivation to the weight loss and not ttc it will do the trick for you. I know a few people that have lost weight with the diet shakes but it does take alot of will power - i would be no good at it.

    Ohhhhh Tammara that is beautiful, I thought that may have been the case. Your cousin will be so excited. Does she know you're having a girl?

    GL Liz, hopefully focusing on something else it just what you need right now, as hard as I know that can be at times. GL hun!

    yeah she knows its a girl. Ive not been able to keep anything secret too excited, thats why im surprised i have managed to keep it from her. She will have a cry when we tell her
    Ive had to tell her a lie about the middle name because from day one hubby had always said leslie for middle name -girl or boy. So i told her that i am trying to get hubby to have anne as middle name - (that mine and sherees middle name) just incase she got something made for her with her name on it

    Keli- I love Oscar and Olive they are both lovely! With our DS, he ended up with two middle names to cover both sides of the fam. So he's Xavier (all his) Leo (DH's Grandfather) William (my dad's middle name, and his dad's etc). DH's dad name is Lawrence Walter, so we may have to use one of those if we had a nother boy (I'm not a fan of either!)

    Porsche- I like Lily with 1 l but both are nice. It would be easier to find stuff with her name on it with Lily! Next year at school we have a Lili, Lilie and Lilia starting as well as a Leila who likes to be called Lily! It's very popular at the moment!

    Tammara- that is a super special surprise for your cousin, but fitting since she helped make your beautiful baby girl possible. She will be thrilled I bet!

    Liz-I know what you mean about the wake up call. My FS basically said it was every likelyhood that my weight is causing my miscarriages...harsh. But it gave me the goal I needed. GL with whatever you decide. I'm on 75 of gonal as well. With the puregon you can refill the cartridge part instead of getting a new pen each time, so I guess that's where the mix up was. FS probably assumed I already had it! Let's make this our last month of jabbing!!!

    Hi everyone else! How are you travelling?

    AFM: Nothing new. Still bloated but not as bad as yesterday, must have been a first jab thing! Will have a scan next Thursday or Friday, but it would be a welcome surprise to actually o around CD14! Never, ever happened before...
    I'm off to cook dinner and then have a nice warm bath!
    Bec
    P.S. I also love the name Piper for a girl, and Willow. I don't know if I would actually use them, but I love them both!

    Hey all,

    Just a quick one before I head off the yoga..... love all the baby names talk All the names everyone have picked I really like!

    Bec - Love Piper & Willow - DH doesn't and love your boys names....

    Porsche - Hudson is awesome, love it! For Lily - I love this meaning the best, so that is why I would choose that spelling!

    Tam - Love your story behind your name choice - so lovely

    Keli - Olive is becoming more popular atm, although I don't think it is in the top 10....

    We have Kiera for a girl and maybe Louise for the middle name (not too sure). For the boy, we had to change our boys name - we had Luke but a gf has a Lucas and my cousin will probably name her baby due in Dec Luca (sp?), so that is a no go. We have also had Mitchell, Callan or Callum. Found it tough for boys names.......

    Crap! gotta go to yoga, hope to be online more often

    Hi to everyone else I have missed

    Hi all

    Dont have much time - lots to do before bed! Just wanted to post an update re: my fs appointment today. As it turned out my usual fs was back from the conference so I saw her. I have one big fat follicle on my right ovary (that's the only ovary that has done anything on any of the three clomid cycles). The follie measured 23mm. I'm cd16 so I'm pretty happy with that. My uterine lining was 11mm which isnt so good apparently. It is a little on the thickish side. She thinks I may have endometrial hyperplasia (which means the lining is thick because it never completely "empties out" during AF). I have to have a scan on the first couple of days of AF so the FS can get a "baseline" for the endo thickness (unless, of course, I get UTD this month).
    Other than that she gave me another script of clomid with two repeats...I just asked her and she gave it to me...!!! But DH and I have an appointment with her on November 10 to determine plan of action. Most likely this will be antagonist cycle of IVF because, in her words, "I dont want to miss the boat" with less effective treatments if the clomid doesnt do the job.
    Anyway, three nights of bumping uglies for me. I guess sometimes you just have to take one (or three) for the team lol
    Oh yeah, had to give myself another trigger shot of ovidrel tonight. Didnt hurt a bit! I may have a future career as a nurse
    Will post persies when I have more time!

    Take care all
