~~~March Angels Check-In~~~

I think I am going to suck at these check-ins. I almost forgot today, oops.
Hello to my fellow March ladies. In case you missed my original post, we will be starting a check-in for those of us with March Angels. We need to come up with a name for ourselves and VikingQueen has volunteered to make a badge for us. If you had a March EDD, no matter which year, you are welcome to join. I will be doing the check-ins on Mondays.
If you haven't already participated in a check-in, please post an intro and tell us a bit about yourself. For those who have already intro'd, feel free to give us an update. How are you feeling, etc.
GTKY Question: How old were you when you had your first kiss? Feel free to share the story if you so desire. 
Also, we are still looking for a name for our badge. Please post any suggestions. Some other check-in's have an EDD list, let me know if you want me to make one up. And, if you named your LO, let me know (if you feel comfortable) and I can add that to the list as well.

Re: ~~~March Angels Check-In~~~
I'm not doing to great. See "Back to TTA we go" post below if you want more details. I'm feeling like crap physically and now bummed emotionally. I was so excited to be TTC again.
GTKY: I was 18 when I had my first kiss. It was with DH, 5 months after we started dating. He wanted to wait until our wedding day to have our first kiss and I wasn't so keen on that. We were watching Star Wars one afternoon (I find them boring, sorry to any fans out there) and we got a little distracted.
And there we shared our first kiss. Pretty boring story, I know.

Hi everyone! I posted my intro last week and you can also get the idea from my siggy if you missed it and are curious.
My first kiss was the day after my 16th birthday with a guy I worked with at our local movie theater. He wanted to see my new wheels (yes, I'm the girl that got a new car for her 16th birthday), and I took him for a 10 minute ride and when I got back to the theater to drop him off at his car, he planted one on me. It was pretty hot actually. He was a really good kisser, even based on what I know now.
Jenn--love that your first kiss was with DH. That is so romantic. I don't even think my 100th kiss was with DH--awkward. (I was kind of a kissing whore in college.) Sorry to hear you are on the TTA train for now.
Start doing some fun things you wouldn't be able to do if you were pregnant...like go out and get drunk or go skydiving or something!! Or hell just buy something really sexy that you couldn't wear with a baby bump!
BFP #1 6/28/11 ~ EDD 3/7/12 ~ m/c 7/15/11 at 6w2d
BFP #2 8/29/11 ~ EDD 5/12/12. 4/25/12: Our take home baby is here!
BFP #3 8/27/13 ~ EDD 5/11/14. 4/27/14: Our second take home baby is here!
I'm doing crappy for the usual reasons.. DH and I still aren't on good terms and I don't know at this point if we will get back to good terms..
I am so heartbroken right now..Not only did I lose my baby I feel like I'm losing my husband and maybe I am..
My first kiss was when I was 13. It was with DH, he lived about a mile down the road from me and we would ride 4-wheelers together and meet up. One day we were sitting there talking and he leaned over and kissed me.. it was kinda sloppy and funny but I wouldn't trade it for anything. He still tells me that he remembers what my lips tasted like that day.. big red gum and dr. pepper (smucker's lip gloss.. mmmm).
I posted my intro last week as well. I hope you feel better Jenn. I don't like any of my bumpies in any kind of pain.
GTKY: I was 14 when I had my first kiss. I was the new girl in 9th grade. I came from an all-girls school and I was put in a co-ed high school--a school ten times bigger than my previous school.
Long story short, I had my first kiss at my new school, with a senior (I wasn't really into him, but he gave me a smooch nonetheless). We didn't date afterwards. Not a romantic story at all.

I'm not sure how to describe how I'm feeling this week. I'm (pretty) sure I Oed (see fertile CM today and low temps the past 2 days - will take an OPK when I get home to make sure). That by itself made me really happy, as I wasn't sure what the CP would do to my cycle. So far, my 2WW has felt almost exactly like my CP cycle (same exact symptoms on the exact same days, and symptoms I've never had before AF). I don't know if I should feel excited because it means I could be KU again or if I should be hesitant as it could be signaling another CP. I honestly go back and forth every few minutes.
My first kiss was at 13, and the boy was not very nice, let's just leave it at that...
INTRO:
This is my first look at TTCAL - I found out Friday at our first u/s that our baby's hear wasn't beating. We should have been 9 weeks, but only measured 8 weeks. DH and I are devastated, taking it one day at a time. I"m waiting for a call back from my doctor to weigh my options, as far as a D&C or medicine. Maybe this isn't the wall to post this, but it anyone has advice on these options, please let me know. I'm not letting myself look on Dr. Google. My EDD was 03-03-12.
I'm so glad there is a March Angels check-in!
I am so sorry for your loss. We lost our twins last August. One baby had disappeared and the other measured 8 weeks when it should have been 9. I know how you are feeling. I opted to go natural and wait it out as I had no bleeding at all. After 3 weeks I started to bleed and had some pretty serious cramping and passing of clots. But then I continued to bleed for the next 4 weeks. An ultrasound showed retained tissue. I ended up having a D&C. With my second loss, I opted for the D&C right away.
That is just my personal experience and a D&C isn't for everyone. I just wanted to let you know what I did. Good luck to you and your DH as you make a decision on this. It's really hard. Oh, and if you haven't already, you can check out the Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss board for more support.

My first EDD was March 30, 2011. I miscarried nearly a year ago (August 17th, 2010). We named our angel baby Angelique Marie (see siggy). I was only 7w6d but was devestated. It was DH's first and my second pregnancy. I am getting to the point in the year that I really don't want to relive what happened a year ago, sorry ladies. Its just painful right now since the anniversary is coming up. Maybe another time.
GTKY question: I had my first kiss when I was 5, lol. It was a kid named Jacob that lived on the other side of the block from me. He and I went around kissing on command to show all the other little neighborhood kids. Then, he moved away. Very sad for a 5 year old.
Also, I am TTA until July 2012.
I'm up and down as always. I thought for sure that I'd be pregnant again by now but obviously I'm not. Some days I'm hopeful...some days I'm just a wreck. Mostly I'm just mentally exhausted from all of this.
It's August. I HATE August. Nothing good has happened in August in two years now. I'm hoping that I can break the "August curse" this year. August of 2009 I lost my beloved cat..yeah, yeah, I know...he was just a cat, but he was my baby and I have no shame admitting I loved him more than all of my other pets. He wasn't much of a cat. He was a dog trapped in a cat's body. He was only 10 and died kind of unexpectedly, even though it was a life-long genetic disease that got him I didn't really think it was coming so soon. I'm getting sad just thinking about it.
Last August was the due date of our first baby. And two days before that EDD we lost our second baby too. It was the worst month of my life. Just thinking back to how awful it was.......ugh....
I keep reminding myself that, well, I'm not pregnant soooo its not like I can lose another baby this August....at least I have that going for me. But I'm still waiting for the ball to drop, for the sh*t to hit the fan...
Wow, I'm rambling!
As for my first kiss. Okay, don't laugh...it was August 11, 1995. Why do I remember that date? I honestly don't know! I was 14. He was 13. His name was Brandon. He was my brother's friend that lived a few blocks away and they spent all summer at our house playing. So since he was my brother's friend my mom had no idea that he kept sneaking into my room and "harassing" me. Finally, he kissed me....with my brother on the other side of the door teasing me relentlessly! Then about 3 days later he left to go back to his mom's house in Pennsylvania where he lived the rest of the year. I was bummed! On a sad note. He died 5 years later in a car wreck.
