Update: Still NNT. I did get AF all on my own and am on CD5, so I may start temping again this month just to see. I still have the same 18lbs to lose before further testing/treament because I love food too much, so just slowly working on getting that weight off.
QOTW- We both like Benjamin for a boy; I really love Kendal. Dh's grandfather's middle name was Harlan which I am kind of digging at the moment. We like Aubrie and Jessica for a girl.

A Parachute in an Oak Tree: A World of Love
Updates: Went to re. Shit is about to get real. When I start AF-likely next week- I'll call and get meds etc started. ER some time the week of Sept 16. This is crazy!!!
QOTW: CBH - What are your favorite boy names/girl names?
I don't have any anymore, because over the past 4 years they all have been used by others, I'll just see what happens when we get there. I know that for our first child we want to honor J's grandpa, Billie Simeon. I'm thinking Billie middle name for a girl, Simeon 1st or middle name for a boy.
