Trouble TTC

5 Things Thursday

What's on you mind?

 

1. I'm dying to get my MRI results.

2. I'm also curious to see how I'm responding to the femara because I'm feeling crampy, but the OPK is stark white. Going in tomorrow for monitoring. 

3.  I think I'm going to make these cookies today and I can't wait!!

4.  We watched "The Impossible" (movie about the tsunami) and I balled my eyes out. It was so great and I highly recommend it. I will say that it gave me a little reality check on how great my life actually is right now.

5. We are considering buying me a new car! Yay! I drive a Milan right now which I do like but I really want a small SUV. I'm test driving a Tucson tomorrow. It won't be brand new, probably a 2011, but newer than my Milan.

  • 1. this 2WW is killing me, Monday can't get here fast enough

    2. If this 2WW doesn't kill me, then work will. It has been absolute H.E.L.L. and people "in power" either don't care or on vacation. 

    3. I had a nightmare last night, I can't even start to describe it, it was so weird. My RE was in it though

    4. It rained all day yesterday and plans to rain all day today...I feel like such a slob

    5. Did I mention this 2WW is killing me???

    2. I'm going to a women's retreat this weekend, by myself, and I couldn't be more excited!! I will know people there, but I will have a room all to myself!! I have really been needing some alone time, and I can't wait!! (and I'll be sneaking in some wine to drink in the evenings...it's totally acceptable to drink wine alone at a retreat..right?! LOL) :)

    3.  It's 48 degrees in Central Texas right now!

    4. I don't like cold weather, especially in May!!

    5. I'm counting down the days to summer vacation (23.5)!!!

  • 1. I am super bummed I tested so early this cycle- can't wait to just find out this cycle- never had such a bad 2WW.

    2. My mother in law is coming this week and I have nothing done yet for her arrival

    3.  I am ready to finally at least talk about IVF- something that is becoming a much bigger reality

     4.  I wish I had a crystal ball to see the future- for SO MANY reasons!

    5.  I really need to get back to at least walking while I am in my 2WW- I miss running! 

  • RunCC37RunCC37 member
    1. I'm beyond annoyed that there are still no signs of O. It is normal for your testing cycle to be longer and a little wacky, right?

    2. The honors band that I'm organizing is this Saturday! I've been working nonstop to get everything together since January. I can't wait! The kids are so excited!

    3. I'm eating lunch and looking out my window. Wish I could drop everything and run! It is gorgeous outside.

    4. I'd like to be cuddling my dog right now.

    5. My next class will be here in 3 minutes... Gotta go set up!!

  • 1. I had a doctor appointment yesterday. I'll be starting my second cycle on Femara 5mg today. Hopefully, we'll get lucky this time around!

    2. My BIL/SIL are going to be having their third baby on Monday. I'm nervous about going to visit them @ the hospital! I'm just hoping that I don't get too emotional...

    3. Something funny happened to DH and I the other night. My mom lives nearby and she tends to just walk into the house unannounced, which is usually no big deal. Well, DH and I were fooling around in the bedroom when we heard the doorbell ring. And then I heard my mother walking thru the house. DH quickly threw his jeans back on and went out to meet her. She knew instantly that she had interrupted something. DH says that he has never seen her leave so quickly! Haha. I'm sure that she'll never make the same mistake again!

    4. I love our mini schnauzer, Charlie. He's so cute. :)

    5. We finally got our TV fixed this morning. It had been out of service for nearly a week! It sucked. I'm just glad that I'll be able to watch Grey's tonight!

  • 1.  I am still bleeding from yesterday's biopsy....annoying!

    2.  My two best friends from law school are coming to see me tomorrow.  We have a room at a hotel with a roof top bar (so we don't have to drive anywhere or take taxis) and we have dinner reservations at this great place down town.  I am so excited.

    3.  For my birthday my husband bought me tickets to see West Side Story (my favorite musical of all time).  It is this saturday night!  He also made dinner reservations for before the show.  Can't wait.

    4.  Super grateful for my DH the last few days.  After the biopsy and everything yesterday I was pretty bummed and kind of weepy.  He took off work a little early and brought me a diet cherry limeade and a nestle crunch bar....my favorite.  I don't know what I would do without him. 

    5.  My family is renting a beach house in Gulf Shores, Alabama for a week in August.  DH and I are going to drive and stop over in New Orleans for a few days on the way.  We booked the hotel in NOLA this morning!  August can't come fast enough.

    I'm exhausted. We adopted a shelter pup this week and although he's letting us sleep at night, the process of crate training, slowly introducing him to our other dog, and trying to keep them separate is seriously draining me!

    We brought him home on the day that I ovulated and I've barely thought about the 2ww in these 3 days, it's an awesome distraction!

    I'm going on vacation in 2 weeks and I'm worried about the weather. Hopefully it's far enough out that the forecast will change!

    The last sookie stackhouse book comes out next week and I can't wait to read it, I hope it's better than the last few.

    I could really use some caffeine right now but am trying hard to restrict to 1 cup of coffee each day. So tired.

  • 1. Still wondering when AF will arrive so I can let my RE know and can get a move on with my third round of Clomid.

    2.Going to my SIL's second baby shower this weekend (and she's only 19...which only makes me feel old and have yet to have my own little one). Hopefully I don't get too emotional...Crying

    3. I'm pretty sure I need to get into a new line of work. lol Checking people into the ER/Hospital is so trying sometimes...so, not only and I emotionally and mentally drained from IF struggles, but from work also Angry

    4. Can't wait to see Gatsby when it comes to theaters!

    5. I feel very blessed to have my DH in my life. He has been one of the most supportive, amazing people in my life, and I couldn't imagine life without him.

  • 1. It's cd1 and I am so hungry and craving chocolate. I don't understand why I don't have any.

    2. I have delusions of getting KU naturally the cycle that my husband gets home. Ya know, because every other military wife does.

    3. My best friend is in a long distance relationship and is really annoying me.

    4. I need more clothes for my trip to Reno in a week.

    5. What the heck is there to do in Reno? Thank God this is a free trip!
