  • @ladipale I'm also obsessed with EC planners! I'm so sad that the Canadian dollar kinda sucks right now, because they're expensive enough without the conversion lol and plus if I can't make it over the boarder to pick it up somewhere then it's like an extra $50 for shipping and I live just 2 hours from the border.

  • I liked the Erin Condren planner too but found it was too big to put in my purse. I went back to the simple pocket calendar instead.
  • @Spartanrd4 i like having a small planner too since it's in my bag 24/7. i'm so glad I'm not the only one obsessed with my planner.

  • Can I just vent for a minute? I'm now 5.5 weeks post-D&C and am waiting for AF to start RPL testing. I thought I may have ovulated a few weeks ago and then felt what I thought was o-pain this past Saturday. Sunday I started to have extremely intense cramps and had brown-tinged blood when I wiped. It last 2 days. I assumed it was AF rearing her head, but the last 2 days I've had nothing. So frustrating!!! I just want to get on with my life!!!!!!!!

    I just feel like my body continues to fail me over and over and I hate it. 
  • @chloe97 I am very sorry you are having such a hard time. I hope AF comes soon so just can start your testing.

  • Don't know if this is the right place for a rant. Staff end of year party is tonight.. started about an hour ago. I got the scoop that there are 4 babies under one there at this point and numbers could potentially grow. I'm thinking about bailing or going really late. I just can't today.

  • @KarenBeth714 DH and I skip anything we're not up for - it's probably why our friends rarely see outside our home (we have all our close friends for dinner weekly, so we're not true hermits). Take care of yourself, whatever that means for you.

  • Oh crap @chloe97 :( Sending positive vibes your way and hopes for AF <3
  • Ugh sorry, @chloe97. Just when you see some light at the end of the tunnel. Sending your body some metal messages to be a team player and get with the program.
  • Waiting for AF was the worst...sending you good vibes that your uterus will get its act together soon @chloe97!
  • 1. Introduce yourself (if you're new): We lost our most recent baby at 13 weeks and 3 days. My 5th loss total, and we have 3 live children. Several surgeries, some unexpected health complications, and 3 months later, and here we are, being told that we can start TTC again in August, although with some more urgency attached to it, as they would like us to conceive as quickly as possibly so that they can go ahead and remove all of my lady parts after I give birth. If we don't conceive somewhat quickly, they would like us to consider the option of having everything removed, baby or not. We are devastated and praying that this next try results in a healthy baby very soon. I need to feel like I'm doing something until August, so I'm going to hang out on the Bump, and hopefully we are blessed with our 4th and final living child in 2017.

    2. Status (WTO, TWW, Benched, etc.): Benched, I guess. No sex for 2 more weeks due to post operation recovery, no TTC until August cycle. 

    3. Rants/raves: I just want to get pregnant. It hurts so bad to not be pregnant right now, and it especially hurts knowing that this is our very last chance. 

    4. GTKY: Everyone has quirks! Tell us about some of yours? I can't have the smell of food on my hands? LOL, I don't know ...

  • 1. Introduce yourself (if you're new):
    I think it's finally time I introduce myself! I'm Alicia. I am a high school math teacher (finally on summer break, yes!). I had a MC about a month ago around 6.5 weeks. It was my first pregnancy. Obviously I'm devastated and I hate having to be here (as I'm sure we all do), but I'm excited to get to know all of you fantastic ladies! I've been active on TTGP for a while so I'll probably hang out on both boards.

    2. Status (WTO, TWW, Benched, etc.): Benched. But the reason I decided to finally introduce is because I'm pretty sure I ovulated yesterday! Which means I'm only a couple weeks out from AF and finally being able to TTC again.

    3. Rants/raves: I'm starting to get nervous and anxious about trying again. My OB recommended we wait 2 full cycles before trying because in his opinion that gives the body the best chance of building up a healthy lining. He basically said if we didn't wait those two cycles we could risk a repeat mc. DH and I after a lot of talking and research decided we were only waiting one. I am not normally someone to go against doctors orders, and I think that's mostly what my anxiety is about. Not about actually trying but about feeling like I'm breaking the rules and worrying that he's right and we're making the wrong decision. We obviously still have time to change our minds, but we have a lot of reasons we want to start trying again sooner rather than later, and I think we're both all in at this point. 

    4. GTKY: Everyone has quirks! Tell us about some of yours?
    I have a few but one that comes up a lot is how I eat. It drives DH crazy because instead of just eating everything in a meal, I eat my least favorite parts first and essentially save the best for last. It mostly bothers him when I eat some kind of pasta dish because I'll eat the veggies first, then the meat, and just save the carbs for last!

    @SnobunnieMel I've been following yours as well <3 It felt daunting at first to come here, especially since I wasn't TTC yet and this is an active board (kind of like joining TTGP and being the new kid on the block for a bit), but I know everyone here is amazing and I'm happy to be able to support / get support from people who have been through a loss.

  • @chloe97 I had that too! I spotted around day 26/27 then went another week before a flow started 35 days post D&C. It was very very short maybe 2 days it lasted. This cycle this month was much more normal. I remember feeling ticked off it was so wonky. It'll come!
