And I don’t like any of them. Also, Sterling started this. Oh I love it! My friends and I had a big group who would name the baby whenever someone was pregnant. Once a week you nominate a name and a winner is picked. Then there are bracketed playoffs. Then a baby 🎉 Ultimate revenge, bracket and I use my mod powers to make Macy win the name contest.

Yes! I commented on your IVF post awhile back and wanted to offer my congrats. I’m so glad to hear you made it to the other side. Those progesterone shots are no joke. The needles are so thick compared to the stim ones. I found icing before and after helped a bit. Of course when my RE told me I could stop at 11 weeks I wanted to keep doing them. lol Wishing you the best! I was icing but then the oil seemed to be leaking out and I read icing can cause that. So now I’m just twisting around and stabbing the shit out of myself. I kinda like the feeling. But, omg, the knots itch and hurt like crazy. Are you also warming the oil before injecting so it's not as thick? I would put the vial in my bra for a few minutes to warm it up with my body heat.

Cher's going to be so thankful her injections no longer hurt when she brings Baby Macy into the world.

If I had to pick one person on this board to name my future children I would pick imapenguin. It’s weird that I know that, right? I have never been so flattered!

Maybe name the baby Pam and the t-shirts your kids already have can get more use? Also that reminds me of the Pete Rock lyric “This one's a girl, let's name her Pam.” Do you know how much my kids wear those shirts? I’m waiting for the day someone asks me and I get to explain it’s for a woman I never met at a fair I’ve never been to.

MH already wants to name it after you. You’ve done enough. I support that. For real one of my favorite names though. Recognizable but not overly common, classic, and cute on a little girl.

But, omg, the knots itch and hurt like crazy. Do you know what oil is used? I had an allergic reaction to one oil, I can’t remember which, but I itched liked crazy. The RE called in a script that used olive oil that worked better. I think it’s sesame, but it’s not like the signs of a reaction. No rash or general itchiness. Just the knots itch, which is apparently common? I had no knots but in the last couple of weeks, I started getting them. I think there’s just no room left to inject and my body is sick of it.

My favorite girl’s name is Julianna. This seems like the appropriate thread to share this info.

Congrats-so happy for you!! I like names that end in a ‘e’ sound-they sound happy to me. My first is H.adley and I almost didn’t use DD2’s name (A.rden) bc it didn’t have that happy end sound. Serena, Sienna and Emilia are other favorite that will never ever get used bc I am sooo done!
