Mrs Nice

Welcome to TTCAL CheckIn!

I hope I can find you all well and positive this week! Please don't be shy in asking the PGAL/PAL ladies questions if you have them. Lots of baby dust on all of you!

Where are you in your TTCAL journey?

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming?

QOTW: What/who is your biggest support while TTCAL? (Not including your SO) ie. A friend or family member, your doctor, on line support, etc...

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?

Where are you in your TTCAL journey?

Cycle day 7 of my first medicated cycle.

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming?

I go in on Monday to see how my follicles are looking.

QOTW: What/who is your biggest support while TTCAL? (Not including your SO) ie. A friend or family member, your doctor, on line support,

This board has been a HUGE help and @marylaurena! I am so sad that we share this experience but so grateful that we don't have to walk our journey alone. You ladies are amazing. It makes absolutely no sense to me that such amazing women would ever have to face this pain.

My best childhood friend has also been an amazing support throughout my journey. She can't personally relate in the least bit but always takes it upon herself to support me through everything and I am so grateful for that. All my other friends assume that I am fine and don't ask but she always does.

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?

It's becoming more real that we are moving forward again. I am nervous for my ultrasound check on Monday. Luckily I have a therapy appointment before that.

CD 14. Supposed to be my fertile time, but I haven't noticed a spike in temp. So who knows?

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming?
In March we go back for some more tests.

My SIL has been amazing. She had two very easy pregnancies and doesn't handle upsetting situations well at all. But she has really stepped it up and asked me about Bean and acknowledges him as part of my family and that is really awesome.

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?

Thinking in circles a lot this week.

Hi ladies!  Hope everyone is having a good week and looking forward to the weekend.

Where are you on your TTCAL journey? cd 7 of my first medicated cycle (letrozole)

Do you have any relevant appts. upcoming? I have to go in i think 12 days after my positive opk to have my progesterone checked...it feels really good to be monitored like this.

QOTW: I also have to say this board and my cycle buddy @jess123456 .  when I am having a really rough day I know i can come here and vent away and say terrible things and you all get it.  You all also get the ttcal craziness.  I actually don't let anyone know we are ttcal in real life because I know they wouldn't get my crazy.

Open Topic:I am just excited to have a plan and to be doing something different which could help me bring home my rainbow.  I'm anxious about doing opk's next week (never done them before)...I just want our timing to be right.

Where are you in your TTCAL journey? cd 5...boo for getting AF.

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming? Nope

QOTW: What/who is your biggest support while TTCAL? (Not including your SO) ie. A friend or family member, your doctor, on line support, etc...   um, probably my doctor. She's really positive. My Mom is a support as well, and my support group

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?disappointed I didn't get pregnant. Happy though that I Od, and had a relatively normal cycle length. Heres to this cycle..

Where are you in your TTCAL journey?  AF should arrive Sunday or Monday, and then I will go in for CD3 bloodwork and ultrasound to make sure things are nice and quiet in there.

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming?  Just CD3- mainly they will be making sure all my hormones are at baseline level, and that there are no ycsts present.  I have endo, so sometimes I have cysts that hang around for a while.

QOTW: What/who is your biggest support while TTCAL? (Not including your SO) ie. A friend or family member, your doctor, on line support, etc...   My mom, hands down.  Although, I can tell she is getting tired/frustrated.  We have been struggling to get pregnant for so long, and she just doesn't get why/how pervasive IF is.  Same here, Mom, lol. 

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?  Our IVF and hopefully our rainbow baby.  I've also really been thinking about Jesse a lot.  Mainly being pissed that we should have a baby and not have to go through all of this again.  That we basically paid 20grand for all of this heartache and we are potentially signing up to do it all again!

Thanks!

Where are you in your TTCAL journey?  Got the offiical ok from our OB and DH is onboard, so I'm hoping that the big O is coming in the next few days.

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming? None unless a BFP comes soon

QOTW: What/who is your biggest support while TTCAL? (Not including your SO) ie. A friend or family member, your doctor, on line support, etc...     My mom is the only one who knows outside of my husband and I and she's sending very positive vibes while still helping me to not feel pressured which is a huge help.

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?  My whole family has been sick the past 2 weeks and I really want things to clear up so we can get in some good mattress dancing   Fingers crossed!

I'm trying hard to be positive! Oing and normal cycle length is a big accomplishment for me! I also need to remember it takes a while to get preg even when you do O!

@Sunflwra yay for the ok and mattress dancing! hahaha!

Where are you in your TTCAL journey?  At the very beginning...more like the pre-beginning if there is such a thing?

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming?  Not yet (new MFM on the 19th) but I'm trying to get into my RE to get an ultrasound and bloodwork. None of my other drs. have done either recently and I'd like to go back on BCP to be able to better control my next frozen transfer.

QOTW: What/who is your biggest support while TTCAL? (Not including your SO) ie. A friend or family member, your doctor, on line support, etc...   I'd say some of my IRL friends that I made here on the Bump and a friend of mine from college.

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?  Jack's autopsy....finally got it and everything (minus his Dandy Walker) was completely normal. It still is heartbreaking that we had an autopsy report in our hands of our little boy, but at least its reassuring that we're not likely carrying a genetic mutation that caused the DW and the only thing to worry about would be the pre-e for the next pregnancy.

Got AF one year to the day after my BFP with Lucas and I just cried all day. I'm just hopeful for cycle 2!
