@aammyy33 Glad you had good news this morning!! You follies must be getting plump!
@jnalexander2 Ugh, my PNV makes me nauseous too every one in a great while. At first, all the time. I take Nature Made PNV + DHA, and I've found that eating something with it helps. Or already having food in my system.
Thanks for all the well wishes ladies! I am all done and back at work. Really took every ounce of strength to muster coming back and not just driving straight home as it's absolutely gorgeous out today. I'm a little crampy this time, last time I didn't have any cramping. I'm assuming that's because the nurse used the wrong size speculum at first....thanks lady. She did say that she thought today was going to turn into O day. And they prescribed HIO Friday and Sunday just to cover our bases. Anyway, I'll head over to TWW tomorrow and I hope to see you all over there SOON!
@jnalexander2 I am currently taking the Costco Kirkland brand PNV. Also, I forget who here gave me this wonderful suggestion, but I started taking the PNV in the evening and it has been a game changer! If I take it in the morning I get so nauseous, but at night, nothing!
@TheMrs I believe the one I have now doesn't have any iron in it either but it still makes me sick to my stomach for some odd reason @PepperAT I nevery actually thought of that my OB/GYN always told me take them in the morning but I feel horrible during the day, taking them at night should help @mrsdaddario thanks for the suggestion I am looking into that one right now!

So my attitude shift at the office...today I got a backpack from them, full of all the things. I go to the Starbucks every morning, and they got me a gift card, a mug, and all kinds of other little things - notepad, pens, a little pencil bag..and AND and entire cake.
And then one of their execs and I were talking yesterday about how the flight here is so hard (I've had 2 back surgeries) and that my tailbone was killing me. He told me about this self inflatable travel pillow he used for the place so I said I was totally going to order it. Well today, as I am sitting on my backpack to relieve the pressure on my tailbone, in he comes with said pillow and insists I keep it.
@delujm0 Oh, I completely agree with the whole "how the heck do you handle two at once" thing. Like do they both eat at the same time? One on each boob? Or are you just a constant utter? Do they sleep at the same time? Or will you be up ALL DAY LONG?!?! I'm sure you would figure it out once the babies are actually here. But the nerves/questions would definitely get to me.
@sevenn@mrsdaddario@hezzer78@jatwal128@krys@Saralee797@ahrains@TheMrs@KirstinH88@PepperAT Thank you all!! I am back from my scan -- the follicles were 24mm, 17mm, and 13mm which I guess is good. They're going to give me a call this afternoon after today's blood work comes back and let me know if IUI is tomorrow or Saturday. I have the trigger though yet to do, so I'm confused when I do that if I go in tomorrow morning.
@aammyy33 that's why I decided to bite the bullet and order a tent. Was getting major pressure to get the order in from the bride. The "store" is BHLDN an arm of anthro so everything is online and not custom so you think they would exchange it. Anyway, I'll either swallow that cost of alterations or try selling the larger size online at a slight discount. Loved your story about wanting his baby. I never thought of it that way but it definitely makes a diff when you know they are going to be an awesome dad!
@Krys Aww what a sweet gesture! I hope if helps your back!!! Back problems are the worst!
@mrsdaddario FX so hard for you! @grabberblue2010as per usual your gif game is SO on point! I actually LOL'd at that gorilla @jatwal128 that always happens to me when I buy shrimp! Cleaning it before I cook it totally grosses me out, bleh @Daisy621 good luck with your scan today! FX for good results! @saralee797 I'm pretty sure that someone already said this but it is usually much less expensive to get alterations done if you take the dress somewhere ofther than the store that you bought it at! Good luck! Cycle/Month: 1 CD: 14
WAYDTGKU: PNV, BD, OPK
R/R/CS: Nothing TTC related but DH gets a half day today AND gets Friday and Monday off work so I am a tad bit pouty today and not looking forward to doing actual work today and tomorrow
GTKY: Have you always wanted children, or were you on the fence and had that switch flipped one day? I have always dreamt of having a big family! I would absolutely love to have 4 of 5 kids but DH only wants 1 or 2... As he would day "we'll probably compromise and have 4 or 5"
*TW* @KirstinH88@delujm0 I am a fraternal twin and so are FI's aunt and uncle. Apparently my great aunt also had fraternal twins. My mom had 5 pregnancies (one MC) and only one set of twins, us first. I am nervous and excited at the idea, but my twin had two singletons. We have 3 other sisters and of the 2 who have had kids, neither has twins. My mom said we were on opposite schedules and had different personalities. BF two at once is hard, so a lot of people use formula to supplement. Pumping and storing can be nearly impossible from what some twin moms have told me. Since we looked pretty different (brown straight hair and blonde curly hair), people would forget we were twins. I am also 2 inches taller than her. Other than sharing a birthday, grade / some classes, and some sports, I haven't felt too twinny. Now that we live in different states, we get a lot less of the staring from left to right trying to find a similarity. Identicals usually get the opposite - people stare to find a difference.
Saw this on Instagram but didn't want to include a pic of her two girls.
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
@NYTino24 Oh! Thanks for all that input and experience. Formula to supplement would probably be necessary and I don't think storing breast milk is even possible with twins! Just as you produce it, they drink it right up! DH's best friend has twin girls and it took me the longest time to be able to tell them apart, but I think I've got it down now. But I still have to see them side by side. haha. DSS and DS are only a year and a half apart, but DSS is very small for his age and DS is more average so they get mistaken for twins ALL. THE. TIME. Like anytime I'm in public with them. So I'm sure all those twin questions get really annoying after awhile.
@krys you go through that process even though you don't eat them?? THAT is love my friend. Kudos lol
@Saralee797 My H calls me an old person because i am usually falling asleep on the couch at 9. And as soon as 10:00 hits, it is bedtime. He's a night owl and I definitely am not haha
@ahrains I usually get fresh ones, but this last time i bought frozen because they were bogo. And both claimed to be deveined and both definitely were not. That's a really good idea though, i never thought to go back and ask the manager about it. I may have to do that because it's a PITA to clean those things!
@KirstinH88 and @PepperAT hahaha thanks for the support! I'm definitely going to muster up the energy for (hopefully) one more HIO session. FX that O happens today or tomorrow, otherwise i'll be a walking zombie for sure.
@SienaC it's disgusting right?! I won't let DH watch me clean them. he's a very visual person and if he sees the stuff i'm pulling out he'll probably be less likely to eat it. I swear sometimes I feel like i'm married to a toddler lol

@jatwal128 oh yes. And because i am picky (apparently, even about things I don't eat), I don't like to get the kind in the case that show previously frozen...which means I also have to shell them, legs and all. Which is really gross to me, but I do it. Because love. Or something. LOL
@krys before i finished your story, i thought the back surgery/tailbone discussion was going to somehow magically turn into you getting a business class seat for the flight back! But a travel pillow is good too lol It sounds like the trip ended on a really good note. What a nice send off
Me: 30 DH: 31 Married 2010 TTC since Nov. 2015 BFP#1: 2/8/16 MC: 3/19/16 BFP#2: 9/3/16 EDD: 5/17/17
@jatwal128 Oh man.. I wish. I *do* have an upgrade request in ($350 and 25k miles...) but it's unlikely I'll get it. I was one away from getting in on the way here, which was on a Tuesday aka not a popular departure date. With my return being Saturday morning local time, it's even less likely...BUT I'm holding out hope for that upgrade. I'd still need the butt pillow though. My poor butt/tailbone is KILLING me.
R/R/CS: I took my first provera pill yesterday around 3 or 4, and at 7 I noticed some brown spotting. I thought I'd keep watch because if I start AF on my own, I wouldn't need to take the provera, right? Well none today, so I took my next dose. Ah well. I'll just keep watching.
I have been sooooooooooo lazy. I really need to get my apartment in tip top shape, but I keep procrastinating until it's too late! Once I pick my husband up from work I pretty much have to give him all of my attention.
GTKY: I always imagined having children, but I never imagined I'd ever find a man willing to marry me. I got baby crazy in my early twenties. Just a compulsion to reproduce and nurture.

GTKY: Have you always wanted children, or were you on the fence and had that switch flipped one day? I don't know if I always 'wanted' children. I always assumed I would have a family. But I never wanted it like I want to live in a hut on the beach in the Dominican Republic.
@jatwal128 lol same especially if there is even like one glass of wine involved. I usually wake up to snap chats of me sleeping/snoring/negotiating with him as to why he should just leave me on the couch
@saralee797 hahahaha i think we're married to the same person. I will scroll through his phone and find a million unflattering pictures of me passed out on the couch. I'm like wtf why are you taking pictures of me sleeping??? Boys are weird lol But whatevs, i need my rest!

ARGH!! I'm on my two-a-days OPKs, and tonight's was really dark...about as dark as what I noted as the darkest last cycle. Shit, shit, shit.
ETA: but maybe if I o earlier in my cycle, and the overall length stays the say, I won't have such a puny LP #silverlining? It was pretty much as dark as the control line.
Thanks, chicks. I guess I MIGHT still squeeze in a +1. Or MAYBE by some miracle it'll still be really dark in the morning. It's a good thing there's no wine in this room, and that it's 7:45AM here and the bar is closed. lol
@Dilynne Don't you just love those days when you know you look amazing?! Rock it, girl!
@krys Glad to know I'm not the only "late bloomer!" Looks like most everyone else wanted children since their own childhoods! I really think that's wonderful, but I just never really gave it much thought until my 20s (and I'm 26 now). Also, I'm so glad your office environment is looking better! That was such a nice gesture from them!
