@Hberry. Awe. Do you mind sharing the name? You can PM me if you want. I have a girls name picked out long before I had my first baby. I told my mom and she hated it. Plus my husband didn't like the name either.

@Dragonfly Names have always been a struggle for us especially because we want a name that would work both in French and in English (I grew up in France and my whole family is still over there)
@Hberry hope to see your BFP in a little less than 8 weeks!
@Alex Thanks babe! Hope you caught the egg and the next 2 weeks fly by with a big celebration at the end of your wait! The issue with our move is not flying restrictions but visa related. We got our visas before everything shut down but the way it works for the UK is that they give you a 30 day entry window (there is a sticker in our passport that says we can arrive between May 27 and June 27) and then you get your long term residence card once you get there. It turns out we weren’t able to leave during our 30 day window because the US Department of Defense had put a stop move order for all their personnel until June 30. So now we need a new “entry window sticker” which the UK immigration offices said they would start processing for people in our situation as soon as the visa processing centers reopened. The centers only reopened last week so now we are waiting for them to process our new “entry visas”. We’re hoping to leave by mid-August now. We can’t really leave sooner now anyway because if everything goes ok I will have to do all the tests for the first trimester screening between August 3 and August 12 at the earliest. I can’t really do the tests right away when I get to England because first I need to get registered with the healthcare system there, find a doctor and I will have a 2 week quarantine when we get there during which we are not even allows out of the house we’ll stay at. So I really need to get all those tests done before we leave at this point!

Ok, so the witch hasn't shown her ugly face yet but holy cow! I took a nap and woke up super wet almost like I had peed or something. I checked and had some EWCM and when I went to the bathroom it MIGHT have been a little pink? Not sure. Been drinking water, but my urine has been pretty yellow lately. I also have been having mid back pain and it feels like the muscle next to my belly button on my right side is slightly pulled? I'm probably crazy or symptom spotting but I hope the witch stays away....

@punk. When was the last time you took a test. I had that tight feeling near the belly button. Maybe when your temp dropped, that may have been an implantation dip. I'd say test away. Good luck. Let us know in the morning on how you make out.

@dragonfly - I had tested this morning but bfn. I'll try again tomorrow if AF hasn't shown. :)

Agatch Omg what a mess all this situation brought! I cannot even imagine the self control you have to show so you won’t be stressed about all this. I really don’t know how you do it! Hopefully everything will be settled soon and this little adorable human which is growing inside of you will get a story to tell about how the situation was while inside your tummy!

Punk I know that anything can happen any day but I’m so excited for you!! I truly hope the bfn was a false one!!

Speak of the devil. Well, I'm spotting so looks like AF will be full blown in the morning. Yay.

@punk. Darn it. Here's to this cycle should AF be full blown when you wake up.

Dragonfly- the name I like is Aerilyn. So if it was a girl it would be Aerilyn Eleanor Alice or Aerilyn Alice Eleanor. Alice and Eleanor after my late grandmothers. I have a few other names I like but nothing as unique like this one.
Sorry punk. We will be cycle twins once again.
Agatch- we won't try again until after my cycle in August.

@Hberry. That is a beautiful name. I think it would be Alice Eleanor for the middle name. I have no idea what to go for a name. My name for a girl was Jasmina. Different but I like it. I got to name my son Isaiah and his middle names are Ludger (his grandfather) Peter (my grandpa). My daughter is Kathryn (after his mom) and my middle names: Michelle Treasure.
