Ooooooh, I have been thinking about this too! As usual, thanks @Colleen0516 for getting it started.
@Knottie24173360 Have you also decided which names you will use if it is one of each?
@khochanadel CONGRATULATIONS on healthy girls!! It is definitely nice they didn't make you wait all weekend!
We aren't going to find out (DH request), but it won't stop me from trying to figure it out... I recently stumbled onto this bpm chart: https://www.babybpm.com/ I know that it's just for fun, but it sure keeps me entertained. After two u/s, it says we are having a boy.
We have talked boy names. Mostly because we want to honor both of our fathers. John (DH) and Leo. Of course middle names are up for grabs and whose name gets chosen first also will be a discussion. We have barely talked about girl's names, of course I have a shortlist.
Are you gals going to be sharing your names? If it is a boy, we would like to keep his name secret as a nice surprise for our families.
@khochanadel that's great that hey didn't make you wait! And CONGRATS! Twin girls
@Knottie24173360 2 sets of each because you have a girl set hat you like and he has a girl set he likes? Or you both agree on all 4 sets? Naming twins has to be fun!!! Yours are identical twins?
@jay5y2 I'm always thinking of baby names- it's an obsession lol it keeps me positive and hopeful How are you going to pick between John or Leo, if it's a boy? make one a middle name? What girls names are on your short list?
While I'm not pregnant, my husband and I have discussed names. We both agree on a girls name; We love Hannah. So if it's a girl, she will most likely be Hannah. Boys- we don't agree on so much lol I like his names, but I love my name haha. So we will see when we actually get pregnant.

The name I really like is Alexandra Joy. I guess I'll let DH decide on the 2nd if we can't agree. We'll probably not tell people just so we have the power to change our minds. Not "Oh we know but we're not telling" but just haven't decided for sure. Also then people can't be like "ew that name is disgusting" because they won't say anything once babies are born unless they are awful humans.
@Colleen0516 Oh, I could talk baby names all day... I'm always thinking of them too--- waaaaaaaay before I was pregnant! I'm such a girl! & like @HBamama2b always says, you are officially PUPO! So get the boy discussion going Are you planning to find out gender?
Boys: We plan on only using John or Leo one at a time. That way if there ever is a sibling we can use the other one. I have a feeling John will be used first, but I really love the name Leo, so we will see.
Girls: I love Hannah! I won't use it because I have a first cousin named Hannah, but Anna is on my short list. Full disclosure, my short list isn't so short and it's pretty fluid, but here are a few that are currently on the top: Stella, Elowen, Gentry, Isla. I also really love Louisa, but doubt I would use it. Maybe as a middle. Also, I don't think my DH would like any of these names.
My favorite baby name website is nameberry -- like I said, waaaaaaaaay before I was pregnant!
@khochanadel wonderful news to have two healthy baby girls growing! Congratulations mama! That's fantastic!
@Colleen0516 we are definitely findin out the gender (materni-t21 test before thanksgiving). We have a girl name picked out but are still deciding on a boy name. We are 100% telling no one and doing the same 'we haven't settled yet' dance. We have some critical/ opinionated family members and just don't want to hear it.
@knottie24173360 are you Irish? I LOVE celtic names, those are beautiful... I have to ask, what childhood story?
@khochanadel I think we are planning the same thing, "we haven't decided yet" who knows, it could be the truth. My girlfriend just welcomed a daughter in August and they truly didn't know until nearly 12 hours after birth.
@khochanadel I love Alexandra! Thats on my list too. I told my husband if we have twin girls Alexandra is a major front runner for the second girl.
But like @jav5y2 my short list isn't so short! Lol I actually laughed out loud when i read that! You and I are a lot a like! I could talk names all day too. I love Brooke, Emily, Alexandra, Hayley, Savannah and Delaney. Among MANY more lol My maiden name is Kennedy... I think I may use that as a middle name for my future daughter (my husband isn't keen on that though) so we shall see.
Boy names we like Alexander (if we don't use Alexandra lol), Brayden, and Ethan. Boy names are harder for me.
@HBamama2B that's understandable! After all you've been though, you don't need more opinions!

Yes we both are! Well Irish American generations removed lol. The Tale Of Taliesin or The Birth of Taliesin. There are many stories that are around but the one I remember the most was a spin off of the old Celtic myth..... Were Ceridwyn and Taliesin were best friends and conquered evil together.
jav5y2 I love Anna and I would have used Anna Kate if we hadn't settled on Irish names or Kinley Grace which is Irish but didn't make the short list.
I am a huge advocate of all the names flowing and have meanings that flow together as well.

@Knottie24173360 My mother is full Irish American generations removed too and have always loved Irish names. My father was one generation removed from Poland, so I have an affinity for those names too. My husband brings Italian, Lithuanian and German to the party, so we are staying pretty neutral... for now.
Anna Kate is actually on my list! I love Kate, but do not want to use it as there are already Kate's or Katy's on both sides of my family and my SIL.
@Knottie24173360 I'm all about meaning of name too! The meaning it self has to fit, or the name needs to have meaning to me (like using Ann as a middle name in honor of my mother in law who passed and grandmother who passed)

Marshall is for my little brother who passed last summer from a drug over dose my world fell apart that day.We didn't have the sturdiest upbringing. So i felt it the most when he died because I couldn't protect him as much as I wish I could have.

Hubby and I have had baby names picked out for about 6 years and the list just keeps growing. Now we just need the baby.
Side note: I'm on day 11 of 20Units of Lupron and I stopped my BC on Wednesday. I assumed I would get a period like I did last time I came off of BC while on Lupron. I jave been cramping very lightly since Friday and started getting breakthrough spotting on yesterday but no period. IDK if i should get one or not going into FET I'm so confused right now.

@Colleen0516 I'm planning to pee on a stick the day before my beta. I want to be prepared in case I get bad news. Plus, I'll be getting the phone call at work and want to have some kind of idea so I don't burst out in tears if it's bad news. But it's going to be good news. For you and me! We are getting our BFPs in about one week. Are you planning to test early?
I love hearing all these baby names. For a boy, I like Nathan, but DH does not. He used to work with someone named Nathan that he thought was an idiot, so he doesn't want our baby to be associated with that name. We haven't really thought about other names. I don't think I want to share our chosen name with friends and fam cuz we don't need anyone judging it. I also like name Kennedy for a girl, but my friend likes that name too. They have two boys and are not sure yet if they are going to try for a girl.
@shaylatrice after getting off BC, I got my period. RE said its normal.
I've been feeling really bloated since last night. I didn't sleep well last night because I was comfortable from the bloating and sore boobs. It really sucks that progesterone mimics pregnancy symptoms.
@Knottie24173360 I'm so sorry! That had to be unbelievably hard (still probably is). Honoring him by naming the baby after him is a lovely tribute to your brother! And the name Marshall is so cute, I really like it !
@Rachd110 Wellllllllllll, I tested to make sure my trigger was out. But of course there were extra tests left over-- and well, I couldn't resist!
Hi, my name is Colleen and I'm adddicted to peeing on a stick! is there some kind of POAS support group- I may need it!
I'm so bad, I can't help myself. Needless to say, both (yes twice!) were negative. I'm 4dp5dt, OBVIOUSLY they are negative- I'm just wasting money lol
So while I will say, I'm gonna TRY not to.. Let's be real- I will! Lol

@Rachd110 I tested at home the day before my beta for the same reason. Couldn't handle the thought of getting that news, either way, at work. I probably could have tested earlier than I did, but I'm still glad I waited. Yes! It will be good news!
@colleen0516 you're so funny. At least you know your trigger is out. Now in a few days you'll get your real BFP. I've read some women have gotten it as early as 6 to 8dpt.
Congrats on twin girls!
Yes I got a very light period leading up to my FET....
I love honoring family names. Diana Kay (my middle name and MIL middle name), Lynn McLorn (cousin's name and my name), Phillip Metz (FIL name and my mom's maiden name) are some of my faves. First OB appt tomorrow so I will definitely be asking when we can find out the genders!!!
My 1st OB appt isn't until the 25th. Such bull that I have to wait 3 weeks after graduating, especially after seeing our babies every week since week 5. And it's late in the day so I am worried they will cancel last minute since it's the day before Thanksgiving.
IVF taught me how to be patient and trust the process. I just need to do the same with pregnancy!
Right now Robin Royal is in the running for baby girl #2. We're both huge Royals fans and still in shock they won the world series.
@ShayLatrice .. It's nice having a patient portal. You can look up your lab work and numbers and send messages back and forth between the nurses. At first I didn't like it but now I'm glad they do it that way.
Knottie24173360 I think Marshall is a beautiful name and a great way to honor your brother!
@Joyzie77 I would love a patient portal, especially since I was going in twice a week before my ER. Now that I don't have to go in so much it's no so bad... but when I was there all the time, a portal would've definitely come in handy when I needed to know what the heck was going on.

I had my first OB appointment today. Just a physical, blood work, urine sample.... Went well but no ultrasound for four more weeks. So that'll be 6 weeks from our previous one. Seems really long!
We are debating genetic testing.... So many decisions! What to do?! For peace of mind I think we will do it.... Either non-invasive blood draw or invasive amniocentesis...
Marshall is for my little brother who passed last summer from a drug over dose my world fell apart that day.We didn't have the sturdiest upbringing. So i felt it the most when he died because I couldn't protect him as much as I wish I could have.
I just wanted to say I love the name Marshall. It's actually my middle name and my mother's middle name. It was for a great-great uncle of mine. I'm so sorry for you loss, but consider it as a middle name for a girl too! I'm planning to actually carry on the tradition of Marshall as the female middle name. xox
@mclorn that's strange you are pregnant with twins that means MORE u/s I am getting one every 4 weeks until 20 wks the monitored every other week until birth.... We are both lucky enough to have DI DI twins so there are less risks but no less in things they need to pay attention to, like growth which is the big one with twins. I mean we were told our heart beat last appointment instead of hearing it but that's fine I got to see that they looked good . I would ask them are they aware its twins lol??

Did anyone POAS before their beta and get a positive? If so, how many days post transfer? I'm so tempted to POAS tomorrow, which will be 7dpt. I'm hoping I can wait until Thursday, the day before my beta.
@mclorn we are doing the materni-T21 (similar to harmony both are NIPT bw) and a NT scan at 12 wks (non-invasive ultrasound to measure fluid in baby's neck as a marker for downs, heart disorders etc.) after doing research, we've decided not to do the amnio as the other tests will suffice without the risk. The more research I do, the more I find that advanced Drs are moving away from amnios.
@mclorn that does seem very long! I did the progenity test but my twins are identical (mono-di). Not sure about NT or CVS but will ask my OB at our first appt... which also seems so far away!
@Rachd110 I tested the day before mine, which was day 10. Based on my beta though, I probably could have gotten a bfp much sooner. Still, I would wait as long as I could stomach!
Thanks for the genetic testing info. I think dealing with infertility has made me paranoid - I think we will start with the bloodwork and pray it is normal and then hope we can have peace of mind.
LOL we must have all been busy mama's today! Checking in I am feeling under the weather maybe a cold coming on that just won't budge. Hope everyone had a great day

Re: September / October IVF
@Knottie24173360 2 sets of each because you have a girl set hat you like and he has a girl set he likes? Or you both agree on all 4 sets? Naming twins has to be fun!!!
Yours are identical twins?
@jay5y2 I'm always thinking of baby names- it's an obsession lol it keeps me positive and hopeful
How are you going to pick between John or Leo, if it's a boy? make one a middle name?
What girls names are on your short list?
While I'm not pregnant, my husband and I have discussed names. We both agree on a girls name; We love Hannah.
So if it's a girl, she will most likely be Hannah.
Boys- we don't agree on so much lol
I like his names, but I love my name haha. So we will see when we actually get pregnant.

@Colleen0516 we are definitely findin out the gender (materni-t21 test before thanksgiving). We have a girl name picked out but are still deciding on a boy name. We are 100% telling no one and doing the same 'we haven't settled yet' dance. We have some critical/ opinionated family members and just don't want to hear it.
But like @jav5y2 my short list isn't so short! Lol I actually laughed out loud when i read that! You and I are a lot a like! I could talk names all day too.
I love Brooke, Emily, Alexandra, Hayley, Savannah and Delaney. Among MANY more lol
My maiden name is Kennedy... I think I may use that as a middle name for my future daughter (my husband isn't keen on that though) so we shall see.
Boy names we like Alexander (if we don't use Alexandra lol), Brayden, and Ethan.
Boy names are harder for me.
@HBamama2B that's understandable! After all you've been though, you don't need more opinions!

Side note: I'm on day 11 of 20Units of Lupron and I stopped my BC on Wednesday. I assumed I would get a period like I did last time I came off of BC while on Lupron. I jave been cramping very lightly since Friday and started getting breakthrough spotting on yesterday but no period. IDK if i should get one or not going into FET I'm so confused right now.

@Knottie24173360 I'm so sorry about your brother's passing and your struggles. Marshall is a great name and a good way to remember your brother.
I love hearing all these baby names. For a boy, I like Nathan, but DH does not. He used to work with someone named Nathan that he thought was an idiot, so he doesn't want our baby to be associated with that name. We haven't really thought about other names. I don't think I want to share our chosen name with friends and fam cuz we don't need anyone judging it. I also like name Kennedy for a girl, but my friend likes that name too. They have two boys and are not sure yet if they are going to try for a girl.
@Knottie24173360 Marshall is a beautiful name!
@shaylatrice after getting off BC, I got my period. RE said its normal.
I've been feeling really bloated since last night. I didn't sleep well last night because I was comfortable from the bloating and sore boobs. It really sucks that progesterone mimics pregnancy symptoms.
Honoring him by naming the baby after him is a lovely tribute to your brother! And the name Marshall is so cute, I really like it !
@Rachd110 Wellllllllllll, I tested to make sure my trigger was out. But of course there were extra tests left over-- and well, I couldn't resist!
Hi, my name is Colleen and I'm adddicted to peeing on a stick!
I'm so bad, I can't help myself. Needless to say, both (yes twice!) were negative. I'm 4dp5dt, OBVIOUSLY they are negative- I'm just wasting money lol
So while I will say, I'm gonna TRY not to.. Let's be real- I will! Lol

@khochanadel I have to remain positive. I'm PUPO!
IVF taught me how to be patient and trust the process. I just need to do the same with pregnancy!
Right now Robin Royal is in the running for baby girl #2. We're both huge Royals fans and still in shock they won the world series.

We are debating genetic testing.... So many decisions! What to do?! For peace of mind I think we will do it.... Either non-invasive blood draw or invasive amniocentesis...
Anyone else getting testing done?!
@Rachd110 I tested the day before mine, which was day 10. Based on my beta though, I probably could have gotten a bfp much sooner. Still, I would wait as long as I could stomach!
Thanks for the genetic testing info. I think dealing with infertility has made me paranoid - I think we will start with the bloodwork and pray it is normal and then hope we can have peace of mind.
