So I couldn't find a May thread, so I thought I'd start one for all of us who have dropped off the April thread.

Aunty arrived this morning so I 've just started cycle 4. TTC #2. Just had a long cycle so if this is the same length my most fertile time will be over Easter weekend.

So I might go all pagan and invoke some Spring fertility goddess. Or something. Or piss on some sticks.

?? Good luck, Spring Goddesses.

Blue I adore Isabelle but DP hates it due to negative association, never mind I've been banging on regardless for a year now and I think I may get him round yet

We both love Giorgio for a boy, he's Italian so we need dual language names. We were both annoyed when prince George's name was announced but no matter, Giorgio is different.

Starbright24 · 26/04/2014 19:34

Frer bought ready for tomorrow morning Grin

(Although did use a couple more ic tests which also seemed to show faint lines!!!!!!!!!)

xBlueberry88x · 26/04/2014 19:37

luna cycle buddies lol

viper I had my heart set on it because it has the same meaning as both mine and my mums names but to many people I know have used it grrrr

theduchesse · 26/04/2014 19:38

Welcome luna.

I haven't even started to think about names really. I've always loved the names Marley or Lennon for a boy, after Bob and John, but there is no way DH would ever agree.

I have a dh who can make lists, and does the food shop. It is a running joke that he is more of a girl than I am. When I was recently a bridesmaid and had to find a cocktail dress he had to explain to me what that meant. I'm really not in to dresses but I was pretty surprised that he just knew. Smile.

Starbright - sounds like you should have stayed on the April thread. Wink

Viperama · 26/04/2014 21:50

Blue thank god I mentioned it to a best mate who just had a little girl, her mom loves it but she said she couldn't as she knew it was my fave. Lucky escape. She went and used two more from my top 5 girls names. Funny how mates all like the same names, makes it rather complicated so worth staking your claim of there's a name you know you would use.

I've been obsessing over names since my 20's even though I wasn't sure I'd want kids until now. Weirdo!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 26/04/2014 21:54

I'm really feeling it tonight. But my gorgeous heated seats in my brand new car have eased my back ache all day. I just love heated seats and think I'd be more comfy sleeping in the brand new car than in bed Grin silver lining today. Did I mention I got a brand new car, lol. Just a tad excited! Never had a brand new one never likely to again either I will never get stuck down a customers mud track ever again!!!!Grin dh is sulking as we've agreed he's selling his m3! Wink

victoria401 · 26/04/2014 22:06

Me and hubby have chosen names too. I think from like our 2nd date or something ridiculous. We got engaged and moved in together within 3 months. Never felt that way about a guy before! Bleurch how soppy lol!

Anyway I digress.... James for a boy (both our grandads were Jim and they died the same year). And Hazel for a girl. We liked Freya but now its massively popular and we don't want to be the same.

xBlueberry88x · 26/04/2014 22:15

God your lucky vicky took a year for my dp to even say he loved me but I knew pretty quickly stupid man took me 3 n half years to get him to move out of his mums and a few months after that to try for a baby

5 years together next sunday n still no baby grrrr

viper luckily no one close to me is likely to have kids my best mate is waiting for me to have some so she can live through me lol

Me and dp decided on Connor and the middle name will be dps brothers name who died a few years ago. And I like alexis for a girl middle name will be same as both our nans

victoria401 · 26/04/2014 22:36

DH was such a soppy git back then. If only he was as attentive now. He does say he loves me every 5 mins but sometimes it loses meaning if said too much?

Most of my friends had already started having kids before we started TTC so we didn't get jealous. I'm always happy for others that conceive tho as you don't know what their story is either most of the time.

kurama · 26/04/2014 23:14

I want mine and dhs grandads names as middle names but dont wanna inflict the poor child with oswald....even as a middle name. oh wat to doAngry

MrsExtraOrdinary · 26/04/2014 23:20

Did Oswald have a middle name you could use instead.? All my boys are named after family. We've now run out of male family to name after. Wink

spinningirl10 · 26/04/2014 23:39

Haven't read back but what sort of a restaurant sends their staff home early!!! No dessert for me tonight!!!

kurama · 27/04/2014 00:25

yer ralph! my gdad goes by jim tho for some reason lol dont think any of his names goes with kai/ kaiden...

Starbright24 · 27/04/2014 07:31

After going for blood tests this week and getting dp to deposit in a cup to go to hospital. I got a BFP Grin
better head back to april bus

theduchesse · 27/04/2014 07:46

That's just rude spinning! Dessert is half the reason for going out for dinner!

kurama we have given DS a middle name I don't like after his grandfather but we figured that you so rarely use your middle name that it doesn't really matter.

Sorry to see you over here Victoria. I've been lurking on a few buses and always particularly hope to see your bfp.

I moved in with DH after we'd only been dating for a couple of months! And went on holiday together after only 3 dates. It wasn't a 'we knew we were destined to be together' thing though, I was just pretty footloose and fancy free and didn't plan much or have many belongings so it would be pretty easy to go our separate ways if things weren't working out.

Sorry to see you over here too Mrs Bottom. You might be stuck with that as your name now. I'm on cd5 now and getting over the disappointment of another cycle and just waiting to get started on opk's for the first time.

I'm the same about Isabelle blueberry. Love the name but it's just too popular. I might still use it if I get a girl though. I really like a lot of the nicknames that go with it and that makes me like it even more.

I'm really hoping for you linda. Can't help you with your pic though sorry. I have absolutely no idea about temping. If I don't get a bfp this month I might go down that line but right now I'm clueless.
