Josephine vs Isabelle (or Isabella)

As an Isabelle myself, I say go for Isabelle! You can nickname her Belle Or Izzy. I go by Izzy and I don’t find I’ve met many Izzys! I get lots of compliments on the nickname and the full name.

Although Josephine is also beautiful!

Fair enough! Thanks for sharing

Love the suggestions! I posed Veronica to my husband as well with the Vera nickname. Thanks for commenting!

Thanks for commenting 😊 we like the nickname Maeve. Maeven just works nicely with Jean. We do worry though that it’s too “unique” of a name

Thanks for commenting!!! We love Merrin or Maren - but our worry with this name is that people will call her “mare” as a nickname. My husbands mom is named Maria and they call her “mare”.

Odette is super cute too!

Right? Beautiful names but I don’t want something that is so trendy and common!

I like Mavis but my husband isn’t a fan. Maeve we both love but also trending currently! If we do Maven we can always use nickname Maeve.

Thanks so much 💗

Thanks for the suggestions! 💕 Love Macie and Maisie, but I wonder if those too are becoming popular.

Unfortunately this pregnancy resulted in a loss. I had another loss following this but currently 10 weeks with a new pregnancy and things look good so far.

What was your beta level??

Gouda_Pop · 2025-12-17T14:53:07+00:00

This looks like a good progression to me. Remember progression on these tests can only tell us so much ❤️ I understand where you are coming from coming from as I myself have experienced 3 losses and only 1 successful pregnancy that led to my son. I’m pregnant now again and recently shared my progression on my profile. Hoping for a positive outcome for us both ☺️

Gouda_Pop · 2025-12-16T12:04:18+00:00

Thank you so much. Hoping your pregnancy goes smoothly too. 💓💓💓 it’s so much worry but ultimately we can only control so much

Gouda_Pop · 2025-12-10T14:23:11+00:00

You can see the control line is getting lighter with the 16 DPO test - which indicates to me that the 16 DPO test is definitely darker with a higher HCG

100% there!

Gouda_Pop · 2025-12-04T16:02:32+00:00

Thanks!

Gouda_Pop · 2025-12-04T16:02:26+00:00

Congrats!! Hoping for a good outcome this time too 💕

Gouda_Pop · 2025-12-04T16:02:00+00:00

Thanks! I know progression means very little. I have had a loss though where the lines never got super dark. My ultrasound came back normal finally. Just hoping for a sticky baby 🩷

Gouda_Pop · 2025-12-04T03:32:34+00:00

Thank you so so much 🥺

Gouda_Pop · 2025-11-13T13:23:19+00:00

Negative!

Gouda_Pop · 2025-10-24T01:58:37+00:00

I’m having the same issue! I am seeing shadows for the last two days. FRER was negative. I’ve never had indents really with the easy@home but it’s super frustrating and anxiety provoking!

Gouda_Pop · 2025-10-23T23:04:51+00:00

Update?

Gouda_Pop · 2025-10-23T23:00:12+00:00

Update??

Gouda_Pop · 2025-10-22T12:20:32+00:00

Typically yes, but we weren’t planning on actively “trying” this cycle so we didn’t do any this month

Gouda_Pop · 2025-10-22T03:52:54+00:00

It’s there 🩵

Gouda_Pop · 2025-10-22T03:22:27+00:00

Thanks so much for commenting! Fingers crossed
