Re: ****June Blooms Check In****

  • FYI - I still hate BCPs!!  Foretunetly, I stop BCPs this Saturday, the 25th, when I start Lupron.

     OOTD - I'm a HORRIBLE cook but I enjoy cooking (DH is a good sport!)  So, if your are a good cook, feel free to share your favorite recipes with all of us! 

     Good Luck Blooms!!

    I'm tired of BCP's too! I start Lupron in one week, so at least that will be something new to do!

    QOTD: I'm a decent cook. I HATE cleaning up after, so that stops me from being too creative. I love to make my own spaghetti sauce. It's down right amazing if I do say so myself. I simmer it all day and just the smell makes me excited! I'm actually growing my own tomatoes to try and make it from scratch rather than using canned sauced and tomatoes. But, I usually forget to water my plants/veggies by the end of June, so we'll see if there's anything left to use! Lately, I've been obsessed with summer squash saut?d in olive oil with a little garlic and bacon. Oh. My. So good. No one else in my family will eat it, so it's all mine! In the summer, I easily eat this 4x's a week.

  • I also hate BCP and just took my last one on Friday and I'm still taking the Lupron which is giving me bad headaches and occasional mood swings. I've also had AF for about 2 wks now...fun stuff! I have a drs appt Thursday and start stims Friday!

    QOTD: I am a pretty decent cook and enjoy it for the most part! A couple of my faces are creamy tomato basil Italian sausage tortellini soup, braised balsamic chicken, and these lemon brownies I made for the first time the other day...mmm! nbsp;

    QOTD: Some would say I'm an excellent cook. I just follow recipes well. I love to make lemon garlic chicken, spinach artichoke dip, and homemade nachos.

    Update: Now on Estrace three times a day, and Lupron 5 units. Acupuncture tomorrow.....which I love going to! 

    QOTD: I'm a decent cook I would say. My hubby and stepkids don't seem to have a problem with the things I make. I too just follow recipes well.   

    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • I was hoping for a 25 day cycle which would have meant AF would have started today, so I can get started.  Oh, well.

    QOTD:  I am not a great cook.  I can follow a recipe.  I love to bake.  DH and I eat such different things and have different schedules, so it is difficult to get creative with cooking.  I'm a vegetarian married to a man who hates veggies...

    I was already asleep by the time this check in was posted!

    QOTD:  Are you a good cook?  If so, what are your favorite recipes??? 

    I love to cook and I love to look on pinterest for new recipes to make.  I make a really good miso ginger salmon. I don't know if I am a good cook, but if I follow a recipe it tastes great most of the time!

    Nothing new here.  I should have some news on Friday after my SHG.  Just hoping they don't find anything because I will be delayed longer.

  • Currently sitting in the office waiting for bloodwork and ultra sound. Took my last BCP last night yay! Should start injections Friday.

    I'm a good cook, so is husband so it's fun to cook together sometimes. We like trying any new recipe! Because unfortunately we love pretty much all food

  • Good morning, June Blooms!

    I have been checking in with the May Emeralds, but the Lupron has pushed my cycle back so far that it looks like I'm going to be a June Bloom now!

    This is IVF #1 for me, and we're doing long Lurpon + ICSI. I've been on Lupron for a couple of weeks now, and my period finally showed up last night. I have my baseline appointment on Thursday, and if all goes well then stims start on Friday!

    @heath04 - it looks like we are cycle buddies! :)

    QOTD: I'm a pretty good cook, and DH and I love to cook together. But what I like even more is baking.... cakes, pies, cookies, pastries - it's been a hobby of mine since I was a little girl.  

    ETA: I also made another little June Blooms badge - hope I'm not stepping on any toes, but it's something I love to do. Golfrgal's is cute, too! :)

  • I just started BCP Friday, and yesterday was when I felt the wrath of those horrible pills! Who knew such a small pill could contain so much Bi@#*iness! I'm waiting to hear from my dr. to set up u/s at the beginning of June, and get the rest of my protocol.

    I love to cook!!! My DH does as well, we make a pretty good team in the kitchen, until it's time to clean up. :/ My favorite thing to cook is Parmesan Crusted Chicken! 
    Get thin cut chicken breasts, spray with butter. Mix crunshed up cornflakes, dry ranch dressing mix Parmesan cheese, garlic, and other seasonings, and coat the chicken. Bake at 350 for about 30-45 minutes. 
    For the sides, I like to do mustard greens (cooked in chicken broth and garlic) new potatoes and a salad! MMMM!!!! I may have to cook this tonight!!

  • Nothing new here - just chugging away with the BCP's. 

     QOTD:  I'm a decent cook.  Trying to get better and better.  I work 40-45 hours a week and so does DH, so I try to cook 2 nights of the week, him once and then we go out to eat quite a bit on the weekend and one night during the week.  I wish we cooked more!  I like making meat and veggie dishes as we try to eat Paleo and bread/pasta/etc. free.

  • Hey Blooms, Started IM delestrogen injections (Friday, Tuesday injects) last Friday.  I am due for a shot tonight.  I am also on vaginal estrace (that's fun, they're blue). 

    QOTD: I love to cook.  I too like going on pinterest and finding new recipes.  I make mostly chicken dishes.  One of my favorites is the chicken franchese on the skinnytaste.com website.  I have been trying to cook more gluten-free and more paleo for the past couple weeks.
