Morning ladies!! Hugs to all and Happy Halloween!!

Thanks for running the check in @lindsebert, how is your week?

I'm still in limbo! 51 days today. Trying to keep calm. I had a temp drop yesterday and I was relieved this may be the beginning of the end of this frustrating cycle but it was right back up this morning. Visuals of snapping my thermometer popped in my head. I did a test out of my own crazyness but -, which I could've told myself I guess. However my DH just told me he wants to take us to NYC for our 2 anniversary in Feb (the weather won't be ideal but hey a trip is a trip) so that's helping distract me right now (if any one has any must dos for my list let me know!) and we've started painting our house. So just going to try to keep myself busy so I don't go too crazy. But I guess I'll call my doc at day 60 but hopefully it doesn't come to that.

Phew thanks for the opportunity to vent!

Hope everyone's been having a decent week.

I love the Holidays!! I am actually going away for my annual shopping trip with a group of a dozen women next weekend to get a head start so I'm looking forward to that.

TVLily

@lingchow8655 that's so exciting you get the keys today! Wohoo!! Enjoy!
That sounds good about the new OB too.

@ninthgirl sorry this cycle is bring do confusing! I hope it becomes clear soon. Hugs!

@holdingouthope it's always nice things seem to be doing what they should! Hopefully you'll be burning the bench before you know it!

Hi everyone. I have been lurking for a little while. I had a natural miscarriage three weeks ago. It was our first pregnancy. I was supposed to be 7 weeks 3 days but the baby was measuring 6 weeks 5 days with no HB. It was and is so devastating. My miscarriage was quick, it happened in one day and I only bled for three days. Our EDD was May 26, 2014. I am trying to patiently wait for AF to start. Im hoping it comes next week. I look forward to getting to know you all.

@lindsebert thanks for running the check in! @giants721 I am sorry for your loss but welcome to the check in. I have been doing pretty well considering. My husband and I are frusterated that this happened again. The bleeding has stopped so now it is just waiting to see when AF decides to show up. I will be doing at least some of the rpl testing just waiting for approval from my insurance. Even if they don't approve the coverage for it I will still have the thyroid and autoimmune blood tests and pay out of pocket. As for the holidays I love them. I like to watch the holiday movies and get our Chrstmas tree.

lindsebert

@tvandewi - NYC trip sounds like a blast! I've never been and am definitely jealous. Sorry this cycle is such a witch. Hopefully AF will make her appearance soon. 

@ninthgirl - I'm so sorry you're feeling so defeated. (((Hugs))) and TP to your body for being a pain.

@Holdingouthope - Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure I knew you were TTA. At least it's nice to know things are doing what they're supposed to be doing in the meantime. 

@lingchow8655 - So exciting about the house. Congrats again! And I hope things go well with this new OB. 

@Giants721 - Welcome to the check in, though I'm sorry you have to be here. I'll get you added to the list. (((Hugs)))

@lindsayhilleary - Hoping you and DH get a surprise miracle BFP this cycle, just when you least suspect it. So many (((hugs))) to you. Also, high five and way to go for even registering for a half marathon! I hope training goes well for it! 

As for me, my sister and BIL surprised me with tickets for DH and I to go with them to the Iowa Hawkeyes game this weekend for my birthday (nov. 6). I am a huge Hawkeye fan, and I haven't been to a game since I graduated from Iowa in '08. Obviously I'm stoked! In TTCAL news, I started Femara Tuesday. I have to call the office, but I'm guessing I'll be going in on CD14 for monitor and/or IUI#3. I'm mixed about my optimism for this try. My sister goes a week later for her first IVF procedure. We're * hoping* we can get our rainbows together.

Giants721

@lindsayhilleary,@kryan108, and @lindsebert thank you for the warm welcome. I should also say we are 31 years old, been married a year and are looking for our dream home. We have been trying to conceive since April of this year.
didn't see the question at the top. I am a holiday lover.

lindsebert

@kryan108 - (((Hugs))) love. Again, I'm so, so sorry. Hopefully insurance will cover acne no OOP expenses for you!

Hi everyone, I think I would like to start posting here if that is ok. Is this a weekly check in?

*****Pregnancy mentioned (not mine), loss mentioned*******










A little about myself (I also introduced myself to the board today)-I am 27 and DH and I have been married for a little over two years. I work as an RN on an oncology unit. I had my D&E on Tuesday and have had my ups and downs which I know is normal. One thing I hope to get better with is the jealousy issue. My sister in law is pregnant (we were 4 weeks apart). We were so excited to be pregnant together and it obviously did not work out for DH and I. She has been so supportive, but texted me how it made her nervous for her appointment since I had no signs of m/c. She had her appointment today and shortly after posted how happy she was to see the heart beat on facebook. Ugh- I feel so silly even writing this, but it just stung. I hope I can get passed feeling this way and just be excited for my future niece/nephew. I just feel like I wont forget how close we would have delivered. Ok, intro rant over. Sorry about that. EDD would have been 5/30/14

Sorry to be meeting on this board, but hope to get to know you ladies better and offer support wherever you are in your journey.

@hadley135 - So sorry you have to join, but welcome. I'm also 27 (in 6 days) and DH and I have been married just a bit over 2 years. A month after we lost our first baby, my SIL found out she was pg. A week later they lost it. Her DH and mine are brothers. Just after that our DHs' 19 yo sister got pg, and of course a H&H 9 for her. It stung the whole way through, and I'm sorry your experiencing that now. It never goes away, but it does get easier. Lots of (((hugs))) to you my dear.

@hadley135 I am sorry for your loss and welcome.

Thank you, sorry for your losses.

@lindsebert thanks for running the check in!  Happy early Birthday!

 

@hadley135 and @giants721 so sorry for your loss and welcome to the board

I'm doing better emotionally this past week and waiting for AF to arrive (hopefully!) sometime next week.   Been going to the gym and I think that's definitely helping with the stress/anxiety of the loss this month.   Hubs and I are ready to try again once this cycle starts.  Can't say I'm not scared as hell, but trying to be positive and keep the faith   

Hasmith25

Hey ladies! I'm doing ok, just so ready to actually start trying again. I have finally had my first period since my d&c. My dr told me to wait for two cycles. I've been blogging about my xperience, and it really does help! If any one you are interested in reading it here's the long.... Www.lifeasahulon.wordpress.com

@ashx3renee - Are the renovations done? Any news with the promotion? I hope you're not going too crazy with the NTNP cycle

The renovations that kept the bar closed are done, but they still have some more work to do.  No new news with the promotion yet but I will keep you posted!  

And I am officially going nuts with this stupid cycle.  AF showed up on 9/22 and hasn't made an appearance since, but every HPT I've taken has been negative. And since we're NTNP I have no idea why or what's going on with my body.

QOTW: I wouldn't say I LOVE the holidays.. but I'm not a scrooge either.
