~~May Flowers Check-In~~

ChloBub · May 2012

This check-in is for all of us who had May EDDs (in any year).If you?re checking in with us this week for the first time, please tell us your screen name and EDD and I?ll add you to the list below.

Good morning ladies! I hope Mother's Day treated you kindly yesterday. (((HUGS))) to those of you who have passed your due dates, and a special thanks to QuigleyCat for the awesome daily shout-outs. Some of you have given me suggestions on ways to honor and celebrate the memory of your angel baby on your due date. Please know that I am honored and excited to celebrate with you.

This week...
Ashleyl31: I'm going to Chick-Fil-A for a big Sprite in honor of you little one on the 15th.
VineyardMel: I'm picking out a bear in honor of Beanie Bear to donate to a child in need; I'll also have a marshmallow birthday cupcake on the 17th.
Blessedhope: I'll be reading Titus in the morning in honor of your sweet Titus on the 17th.

If you haven't yet let me know how I can do something for you and your baby, you're welcome to do so. Every night there's an EDD, I will light a candle and say a small prayer (thanks, VineyardMel, for this idea!), but I am also happy to do more if you have any special ideas. Please check out my blog throughout the month; I will be posting all of the things I do to celebrate our little ones.

How are you doing this week? Any appointments/plans/goals you?d like to share?

QOTW: What is your favorite way to be creative? Bonus points if you PIP something you've made!

TTCAL Updates: Let me know if your information is wrong or if I don't have your update. Also, if you don't have your chart linked, or don't chart, I'd love to know your CD so I can at least keep up with you that way.

Waiting to O: QuigleyCat1, Funnygirl34, egsquared, me (ChloBub)

Good morning, all! I had a nice Mother's Day yesterday, even though it was definitely really difficult at times. I'm just trucking along until O. FX that I O while DH is still in California with me. I'd have to O really late to miss it, but my body doesn't always like to cooperate with me.

QOTD: I'm not crafty, but I do love to cook. Here's a PIP of the Mother's Day brunch I made yesterday.

Broccoli and ham mini quiche, lemony asparagus, goat cheese and bacon new potatoes, pineapple, rolls and...

Lemon poppy seed strawberry shortcake.

I wish I had leftovers today, but everyone ate everything!

(((HUGS))) all around today.

besoul · May 2012

Good morning, ladies. Chlobub, thank you so much for your thoughtful check-ins. (((HUGS))) to all of the ladies with EDD this week.

How are you doing this week? Any appointments/plans/goals you?d like to share?

Last week was VERY rocky for me. Work is incredibly busy and it was my EDD and mother's day. There were lots of tears lat week. This week already feels a bit more calm. DH and I are TTC (CD9) so my appointments/goals/plans this week are to BD!

QOTW: What is your favorite way to be creative? Bonus points if you PIP something you've made!

My favorite way to be creative is to get together with my nieces and make up stories or color or create art. They are so creative and sweet, we always end up having a wonderful time together. I have always enjoyed taking a little art class here or there. This is a nice reminder that I might have to look in to a new class soon!

Have a lovely day. (((HUGS)))

I thought about you last week. I'm sorry it was so rough. Sad We all understand. Big (((HUGS))). Thanks for the cycle update; enjoy the BD time!

QuigleyCat1 · May 2012

Doing pretty good this week so far. With one EDD passed I feel a little sense of ease, I think. Not so anxious like I did when I knew it was getting closer. It's also a great feeling to know we're TTC again. ChloBub, I'm very happy to do the shout-outs and all of us deserve to have our angels recognized in some way, shape or form. Also, is that a Sister Schubert (sp?) roll in your PIP??? I love those! Big Smile

QOTD: I consider myself pretty creative. I love to scrapbook when I have time, make home-made cards, craft and paint projects and also home decor. None of it professionally, but it's what I really enjoy!

I hope everyone will have an enjoyable Monday!

EDIT: spelling

ktsnshn · May 2012

Good morning! I am in the 2WW. I have no strong feelings one way or another this cycle. I am hoping to hold out until the weekend to test at 14dpo. Today I am off to have my blood drawn for my CD21 progesterone levels and I am hoping it looks good. QOTD: Chlo, I am like you. I am not super arty creative, but I love to cook too. Your brunch looks like it was awesome!

Funnygirl34 · May 2012

Good morning ladies!

I had a nice Mother's Day yesterday. My husband was so sweet and bought me a card, a lampshade I've had my eye on, and brought me out to breakfast. It was difficult at times and I had to fight back tears but for the most part it was a good day. I thought and prayed for all of you throughout the day!

I think I'm getting ready to O this week (I hope) so that is exciting!! Next week is my follow-up RE appt where we will discuss putting me on clomid next cycle. I'm hoping I get pregnant on my own this cycle and won't need it!! Here's to hoping ;-)

QOTW: My favorite way to be creative is by decorating (and re-decorating) our home! I love to redo old pieces of furniture!

Hope you all have a good week! Love you all!

poohbear033 · May 2012

I am so excited because I finally got a hair cut. I am going to donate it.

As far as TTC goes, we are TTA this cycle until my test results come back. UGH so crappy! It is one thing after another, I hate this roller coaster.

QOTD: Not my favorite way, but I am going outside to plant my garden and flowers! Is that creative? It is a beautiful day and I am not going to waste it.

egsquared · May 2012

Hi ladies! Hope you're all having a good Monday!

Like Chlo mentioned, I got a BFP last Wednesday (confirmed with betas), but started bleeding (heavily) on Friday. Still bleeding now, so it's a second cp for me. I missed a call from the nurse with my second beta number from friday, so now I had to call and leave a message about when I need to repeat the beta. Fun times around here. Because of the cp, I have to wait to have an HSG done until after my next AF. I did schedule our first RE appointment though for June 4, so at least I feel like that's a little progress.

RequiresExalted · May 2012

Hi ladies. I had my SHG on Wednesday, and apparently I have a Septate Uterus. So I need to have a Hysteroscopy to remove the septum. That'll be CD5-10 next cycle, and we're TTA until then, because there's an increased risk of m/c (and it's probably what caused mine). And then after the surgery, there's no sex for a week, so we may miss that cycle, too.

Not to mention, DH's SA was disappointing, and my AMH was low/low-normal. Ugh.

Anyway, after that, the plan is still Femara + IUI.

ashleyl31 · May 2012

Hi ladies! Of course this is my last TTA cycle, and I thought I had figured it out. Well, this month I had my "fertile cm" on day 14, but negative opk and no temp spike. Now, I am at my normal I day, cycle 19, without the same signs. Ugh. Really body?!?

Thanks Chlo for what you are doing tomorrow. I know it will be a rough day. I just hope DH acknowledges it. He didn't say a word yesterday. I'm thankful that I have all of you!

QOTW: I spend most of my crafty energy creating things for my classroom. I always try to do cool things, but rarely finish. I did make DH a balloon wreath for his birthday a few weeks ago.

pb127 · May 2012

How are you doing this week? Any appointments/plans/goals you?d like to share?

CD1 today, I'm just thankful it wasn't yesterday! Cranky, but okay.

QOTW: What is your favorite way to be creative? Bonus points if you PIP something you've made!

I like to do small crafts, make scrapbook-type albums on Shutterfly and write. Nothing pic worthy

It IS a Sister Schubert's roll. Good eye! I'm glad you're feeling better now that your May EDD has passed. I'm also really glad to hear you're TTC again; happy humping!

DEFINITELY the bolded! And I got your card today; thanks so much! I'd love to see some of the furniture you've redone. That's impressive!

((HUGS)) I'm sorry you're having to TTA; hope all comes back well with your tests. I'm jealous of your green thumb; I definitely think that counts!
