I am SOOOO SORRY this is late!! Weird day at work led me to forget it was Thursday...I kept thinking it was Friday!!This check-in is for women who had September 2011 EDDs. We want to stick together during such a tough time.Here is the code for the badge. Just make sure to take the * out that is after the first <<*a href="https://s1091.photobucket.com/albums/i390/tlneff0108/?action=view?t=September-Badge.png" target="_blank"><img src="https://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i390/tlneff0108/September-Badge.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> Please feel free to post an update on yourself (TTCAL related or not) and there is a GTKY question below.***Do we want to open this up to ALL women who have had a September EDD no matter what the year? Mandy6418 asked us if she could use our badge, which made me think it might be nice to open this up to other ladies. But this isn't MY group. I want to know what you think!!!***GTKY: What story does your family always tell about you?

Hey girls!! I did "steal" the badge. If anyone is at all offended just let me know and I'll take it down. :::HUGS:::

Update: Cycle #2 with Clomid officially begun on Monday. I met with my RE on Tuesday. She is pushing an IUI, but I am going to try to stick to the plan. Part of me wants to go with an IUI to increase (DOUBLE!!) my chances of getting pg, but I also want to see if we can do this as close to the old fashioned way as possible. And, anyway, if it doesn't work out this cycle or next we'll move onto an IUI. I need to practice patience.

GTKY: My family always talks about when I was a little baby I would look at every person in the room, waiting for them to notice me. I have always been a very social, interactive person...I guess since birth!! My mom also always tells that I knew every student's name and student's parents' name in my school when I was in Kindergarten. I've always been pretty good at remembering people.

I did not get a BFP this cycle, so its CD 9 now and we leave for our cruise on Saturday! It will be prime baby making time towards the end of next week! It's also our 4 year anniversary today.

GTKY- Lately it has been this one because we just found a video of it. I was about 3 and I was swimming with several of my cousins in a horse tank (our pools in the country). On the video, you see me standing at the side of the horse tank and yelling " I want a coooooookiiiiiee" "Give me a coookiiee". Now, my dad repeats it over and over.

I think anyone with a September EDD should be included, no matter the year!

I've had a rough past two weeks and feel like I'm grieving the loss of my grandpa more today than I have the previous three days. I think now that I'm back home it's more real. I'm on CD 7 today. I was contemplating taking a trying "break" this month, not using OPKs or charting. But I think I've decided that I'm too much of a control freak and NEED to know when I ovulate! So I purchased a 20 pack of OPKs today, although I will not be charting.

GTKY: My parents instilled in me from a very young age that littering was wrong. One day when I was about 4 years old I was at a convenience store with my dad. We were walking in when a big burly biker looking guy tossed a McDonald's bag out of his car and onto the street. I said, "Look daddy, that man is a litter bug!". Apparently the guy looked really embarrassed, got out of his car and picked up his trash and threw it away. My dad was scared for his life for a moment, but it ended up being a good thing. My dad swears that that man probably has never littered again! Smile

Update: CD1. Sucks. My hopes were really high for a BFP this last cycle, so I'm not doing too great today.

GTKY: My parents always joke about when I ate ants. I was 5 and my uncle told me they were "moving candy". Gross!

Sorry about the loss of your grandpa. It is so hard. I still miss/think about my grandma everyday and she passed away last fall.

I also contemplated taking a break from "trying" this cycle, but I can't. I need to know what is going on with my stupid body! GL to you this cycle!

jkfranklin · May 2011

Mandy - no offense at all! I think anyone with a September EDD should be more than welcome to take the badge.

I don't have an update. Nothing is new with me, still waiting to TTC.

QOTD: When I was a baby, maybe a year old, my dad was laid off so he stayed home with me during the day while Mom went to work. One day my dad called my mom to tell her that I fell down the basement stairs. There was no railing so I fell off the side. Luckily there was a table with some life jackets there that I fell on instead of right on the floor. When that story gets told, my dad says, it's ok, he just shut the door until I quit crying. Now whenever kids are over at their house, they say they have to make sure the gate is closed because if a kid falls down the stairs, there isn't a door to close.

mork · May 2011

Hey ladies, sorry I haven't posted in a while. Crazy life the last few weeks, but happy times are only a couple of days away.

mandy - I don't mind at all, you had a Sept sapphire too!

Update: I really really want to POAS, even though I have no MF at all. But, the ILs are coming next week, and we wouldn't want them to know yet. It would be too hard to not tell them, or for them not to figure it out based on drinking. But I'll probably know by AF when they're here anyway. Arg, tough decisions.

GTKY: There are a few, but since Easter wasn't long ago, this one popped in my head. Every Easter, my grandma used to read a little story I wrote in the 2nd grade. It was on an egg shaped piece of paper and somehow combined the Easter Bunny and Jesus, although I don't remember it exactly. She kept it in a drawer with her china, and revived it every year. I wonder if it's still anywhere around - she passed five years ago.

roadstar · May 2011

I think anyone who had a September due date is welcome,regardless of the year.

Update- I am waiting to O, which should happen today or tomorrow. We had sex yesterday and plan on today and tomorrow. So also long as I Oed on the right side I'm looking good.

Funny story about when I was a baby. My parents went camping when I was about 2 with good (childless) friends of theirs. One day my parents went for a walk and left me with their friends. I fell coming out of the camper and rolled into the unlit fire pit,. Well the friends panic and just ran off screaming for my parents "Heather fell in the fire, Heather's in the fire". I was fine and we still tell the story today when we see them.

Karinabobina · May 2011

No huge update with me. Finished my cycle of Provera and just waiting for AF now. I'm cramping so bad I feel like I'm going to deliver my Uterus. But at least that means AF is on her way finally!!

The only story I hear about often is when my grandpa used to take my sisters and I hiking. I would get lazy half way through and make him carry me. Poor guy! Luckily I was a petite little thing. Boy has that changed!

lauralew · May 2011

Sounds like everyone agrees to open this up to all the ladies with September EDDs no matter what year. Love it!!

And I love hearing all the childhood stories!! Definitely gave me some laughs and smiles tonight.

kali131 · May 2011

Hi! I'm new to the Sapphire Sweethearts!

I had a September due date and one of my bridesmaids found out she was pregnant within days of me and she is due in September, so I am watching her develop and thinking "That's where I would have been"... c'est la vie

My GTKY - My Dad always tells the story about my ballet recital when I was five. My Mom was working so he was taking care of me and my 2 year old brother. Well, I got on stage and wet my pants. So my Dad had to haul my brother and I into the men's bathroom and peel the pee pants off of me and try to clean me up. Keep in mind that my Dad is a pilot and was away a lot of the time. This might have been the first time he had solo control of my brother and I. So while he is trying to clean me up, he looks over and my brother is playing with the urinal pucks... Just awful!

williams4me · May 2011

Update: I got +OPKS's yesterday and today, so it looks like i'm heading in the the 2ww for the first time since our loss! So scared and excited at the same time!

GTKY: Wow. I've been thinking about this for a bit now, and I got nothin! Embarrassed

Not offended! I think it should be for any Sept EDD's Smile

badtzmaru22 · May 2011

I say welcome aboard all Sept. EDDs!

Update: This cycle was totally a bust. I think my body tried to O, and then gave up, as my temps have been in the gutter the last few days. I've had annovulatory cycles in the past, so this is totally normal. This is my third post-loss cycle, and I think I O'd during the second one because of acupuncture. I wasn't able to go this cycle, but I plan to make an appointment soon. I am the last person to believe in non-traditional methods, but I'm an acu convert for sure.

GTKY: My mom's favorite story to tell is about my older brother and me. When I was born, he was three, and he told my parents he wanted ten sisters just like me. Two years later, our sister was born, and he quickly changed his mind!

MDT082010 · May 2011

Sorry I'm a little late adding to this post.

I saw open it up to all ladies who have EDD in September (regardless of the year.)

This is a story a really close family friend tells:

When I was 4 years old I was up skiing with my family and my aunt "aunt" (family friend who is like an aunt) she took me into the ski shop in the lodge before we went out skiing for the day. I told her I didn't have any ski gloves. The reason I told her that was because mine were gray and I wanted the cute pink ones in the store. I had a pink ski suit so gray gloves didn't match

She couldn't believe that my parents didn't have gloves for me. We went back out to the area where you get ready for skiing and she said to my Dad "why doesn't she have gloves." My dad said she does....but she hates them because they are gray.

Everyone always laughs about it because I was very into fashion even at the age of 4 - haha!

Welcome!! So glad you joined us!! A lot of us, unfortunately, have someone in our life who is due around when we were. For me, it is heartbreaking some days to watch their (yes, there is more than one in my life!!) bellies grow...other days I feel all right about it. Hoping you get your take home baby very, very soon!!
