July Bus to BFP land with onward flights to Thailand at TTC Airport

[TheGrandHighWitch]

Hi everyone, I know this is probably a bit early (since it isn't July yet) but I thought I would start a new thread for those who lost their tickets for previous busses and for those who are beginning their bus journey now. Please feel free to add your stats to the list and grab a good seat while you can. Best of luck to everyone TTC and I look forward to getting many BFP's posted on here.

Hi ladies, there's been a lot going on, finding it hard keeping up with everyone as log in on phone so hard scrolling back!!

Good luck to everyone with their BFP's and the BFN are hopefully because it's too early!

As it's my first month stopping the pill I have no idea when ov is due!! I'm currently cd11 so could be any day!

I also have a badly times job interview tomoro, not ideal! Would love to get the job but would have to put baby making on hold for a few months if I got it, but not getting my hopes up and if I don't it'll be baby making all the way!!!

Oh girls I don't know what to do. My sister and I are really close and we talk about baby things all the time. And I always wanted a girl called Matilda. And she's just phoned up to tell me they are calling their daughter Matilda. And I just burst into tears and now can't stop crying. And I feel awful because I should be happy but I can't stop crying now.

Oh no Foscar I'd be upset too as I've already chosen the names I will eventually call my children too. There are so many beautiful names out there, I'm sure you'll find a gorgeous name that you love just as much when the time comes.

I'm taking NatureMade prenatal multi + DHA, which I got when I was in the US a few months ago. It's got 800mcg of folic acid though, which I think is double the recommended amount in the UK but the amount that recommend in the US. I stopped taking pregnacare because it was making me nauseous but I think I might try taking just folic acid every other day and the NatureMade the other day so I'm not shoving too many vitamins into my body.

foscar I'm not surprised you are upset, is your sister aware how you felt about the name? I'm sorry that must be really hard for you.

Thanks cinnamongreyhound and laurano81. My opk today was lighter though so not sure what to make of it. Am a bit crampy today but no other symptoms of note.

KittyVonCatsington that opk looks very promising to be honest even if not absolutely positive. May be worth DTD today/tonight just to be sure.

Treaclepie19 I would definitely say your temp spike is to do with the alcohol. That's why I am avoiding the bottle in the fridge at the moment as I don't want it to mess with my temps and give me inaccurate results.

Capt1Sock Your symptoms are a little like mine, crampy on and off, no soreness in boobs so hopefully giid signs for us both.

Xpost FoscarC sorry to hear that the name you picked out you can't use anymore. I have a nephew with a name I liked too so I empathise. It's almost like a double kick in the teeth for you today. Take care of yourself. You will find a name for your baby that you love just as much I am sure.

Yes my sister new that I wanted to use that name. She absolutely new. And the names she told me the other week when We chatted did not include the name she's used. I feel so hurt. But she'd not nasty so will equally be really upset that she's upset me. But I am so angry with her now I can't call her back. She just said to me 'she just looks like a Tilly' and I burst into tears and had to get off the phone. What have I turned into!?

Kitty Yay! I bet it will be stronger later! ! Keep DTD! Here is a pic of a +opk last month at 1pm, the line got a little darker later in the day when I took an OPK again x I sent the pic to my DH x I don't have a pic of the darker one.

Treacle I don't drink alcohol, so I haven't experienced it's effect on my basal temps x

Cpt1 & Grand I honestly think the month I will have no sore boobs during the 2WW will be the month I will get my BFP! Fx for the both of you! x

Foscar I totally understand how you feel! I always wanted to call a DD Ava...I love the name! Always have, & then my brother in law & his wife called their daughter Ava! I was seriously bummed over it! They are in Hungary so they pronounce it with an E! All the same they took my name ! Does your sister know that you wanted to use the name Matilda? When my sister was pregnant with my nephew I told her the name I wanted to call a boy if I had another. She agreed not to use it, as she knew how much it meant to me x I know this might be little consolation, but I bet your little niece will melt your heart & you will find another name to call your own little one x

Bluesky haha I can just see you with all the tests! Like the pic I posted a few days ago !

Foscar you have every right to be upset! If your sister knew that is another story! It is lousy! I would be really upset too! If I were you I would tell her how you feel straight away! Maybe she will pick another name. I would be very hurt too. You have turned into nothing! Don't blame yourself for how you feel xx (Hugs)

Jesus, that hurts Foscar I really feel for you. If you had told your sister about this, then then it is a really unfair thing to do. Big hugs.

There is nothing you can do now, though. Try and think of how fun it will be, going through baby name books when you get your BFP. In the meantime, have some and with us

Oh Foscar I hadn't realised that your sister knew that's the name you wanted to use. That's really rather selfish of her, I'm guessing she hasn't done it to hurt you and has just not considered the implications of what it means to have taken the name. I would imagine that it is too late to ask her to change the name now and I hope you're not too sad. Here's a hug from me. If it cheers you up at all, I'm feeling really emotional today and I just burst into tears because my goldfish looked sad.

Oh foscar, that really sucks. Sending lots of

FoscarC I think it was pretty low of your sister to use that name when she knew you wanted it. Like you said, it didn't come up when you spoke to her about it before so why now? It's not like she didn't know it would upset you and on top of the double edged sword that is when someone close to you has a baby, I disagree that she didn't know what she was doing. She went through enough to have this baby so she should be able to empathise with what you're feeling right now. Any chance you could still use Matilda but either double barrel it or just call dniece Tilly (or both)?

Tabitha and Jemima are alternative names that sound beautiful and I associate with Matilda, but that's not really the point. Reminds me of when Rachel in friends stole Monica's baby name Emma. Thought she was a total bitch to do that Foscar we are all behind you my lovely!

I have thought of all these things. There's no way I can ask her not to use the name as I won't use it now anyway as it's made me feel like this. She knew I'd be upset because she phoned and told me and when she said it she even asked if I was ok. And she said sorry when she told me she was going to use Matilda. I am angry with her. And now I don't know what to do because I burst into tears and tried to hide it but then had to say 'I'm sorry I have to go' and put the phone down but it was obvious I was crying and I haven't heard from her or my mum now. And I should imagine they think I'm being stupid. They don't know I'm waiting to see if I'm pregnant or not. And clearly when I kept telling her my girl name and my boy name she didn't realise how serious I was. I am just a little shocked by it all.

Sorry to hear that Foscar you have every right to be upset.

Kitty, Tabitha is our favourite girls name :)

Oh and thanks ladies :) ive been reading TCOYF and it looks like a fallback rise. Just got to wait and see what happens tomorrow.

Tabitha was one of the names on my sisters list. Mum just called. She understands why I'm so upset.

Foscar It must be a difficult one for your mum, but I am glad she rang you & was honest enough to express how she felt about the situation...Fx your sister will pick the name Tabitha instead x

That's great that your mum understands - it must have felt like such a punch in the gut. Fx that you get your BFP very soon.

Was thinking about your temps a bit more Treacle -still think you are having an ovulation dip. Let us know if your temps start to rise again.

Great choice of name!
I've agreed that DH gets to choose girls name and I get to choose boys name Stephan after my dad to help get him on board with TTC! He's chosen Sarah. Says he just likes it. If someone used the name Stephan on their son before me, I'd go mad!

Thinking about it a little more, your sister is silly to choose that name now Foscar 1. Because now it is a little tainted. Will always have a negative association due to stealing it from you and upsetting you and 2. She clearly wasn't that bothered about the name Matilda if it wasn't even on her list to begin with! She owes you a bigger apology than 'are you okay with it?'

Gosh, I've been doing a lot of thinking. Need to get out more and stop spamming this thread...

Oh foscar that's just not fair. I'm so glad your mum understands as well

I love the name Joshua! My DH is Hungarian, so he likes the name Krisztián...we will see who wins that one! ...there are lots of beautiful girl names, but we both can't decide! oh but I guess we have to get preggers first!

That's lovely Kitty naming your DS after your dad x
