Where are you in your TTCAL journey?
CD 23

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming?
If I don't get a BFP this cycle, then I will be using meds and monitored by an RE on my next cycle.

QOTW: How do you react when you hear of others announcing pregnancies?
It use to hurt a lot more, but as time has passed, it has gotten a bit easier. Ones that still sting are when people that had a baby after Annabelle was born are pregnant again.

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?
Always missing my baby. We just got back from vacation and there was a little girl standing on the bus in front of me whose name just happened to be Annabelle. She kept smiling and playing with me. It made me happy and sad at the same time.

Where are you in your TTCAL journey? cycle 1 (after MMC in may) cd 21 (10dpo-ish)

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming?no

QOTW: How do you react when you hear of others announcing pregnancies? it is hard...it has gotten easier but it is still really hard.  I would have to say my first reaction is anger.  I hate it but it's true.  I try and put on a good face.  I still have issues with people who have publicly announced in front of us with no warning and they knew of our loss...I just think it is such a tacky and selfish thing to do.   

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? AF is due Tuesday so I am in a tizzy...I feel like I am having symptoms but then I am afraid of them just all being in my head.  I really dont' want to POAS until tuesday (at LEAST monday) because #1 if I had a CP at this point I would just rather not know about it and #2 every day that I am pregnant I am going to be a ball of craziness...on the other hand I don't want to build myself up all weekend only to be be let down next week.  UGH!  TTCAL is so crazy!!!

Where are you in your TTCAL journey?   CD 21. Thought I was near O but looks like my PCOS is still in full swing.

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming? Yes. If I am not pregnant or have AF by Oct. 10th, I'm getting blood work to test for pregnancy, then going on the pill for three months. This is very upsetting, but I know the best way to regulate my cycles and have a healthy pregnancy. I am really hoping I ovulate, and soon.

QOTW: How do you react when you hear of others announcing pregnancies?   bleh. Still hard for me, especially since we're trying to hard and my body isn't coroperating.

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?   going on the pill. I cried when my doc mentioned it. I knew it was coming and wish I had done it back in april because I'd probably be pregnant by now. I know it will help regulate my cycles, and ovulation.

Where are you in your TTCAL journey?   Cycle 1, CD 23/ 4 DPO

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming? No, we just had a consult with MFM that gave us the go ahead to start TTCAL.  I will see my OB again in early November for my annual.  

QOTW: How do you react when you hear of others announcing pregnancies?  It depends, random acquaintances or close friends on FB pain me a little.  However, when I hear of other loss moms getting pregnant I am truly excited for them. 

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?  Just trying to take it one step at a time with the whole TTCAL process.
