    Where are you in your TTCAL journey? cd 3...boo.

    Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming?
    I called my OB to make an appointment for my pap, and to talk about TTC. At first they said she was booked until Sept/Oct but they were able to get me an appointment in July. I'm seeing my PCP next week and I'll just let her know what is up.

    QOTW: Are you an Aunt? Since your loss has it been more diffcult to be around your neices/nephews (or other young family members)?
    I'm not an Auntie, yet. I'm looking forward to it one day

    Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?   
    This cycle was really difficult. I was convinced I'd get KU. When AF came (a little early on cd 10 as opposed to 12) it hit me hard. I had a nice ugly cry, but I feel better now.

    @shandorfml2‌ :( I'm sorry! I know how hard that can be when you're so sure it's going to be it only to be disappointed when AF decides to mess everything up! Big hugs!

    Where are you in your TTCAL journey? CD 41 really?! X(. I mean, I do not want AF to show up but if she is... Come on already!!

    Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming? I actually do! I have an RE appt. on the 30th! I'm anxious to see what she'll have to say!

    QOTW: Are you an Aunt? Since your loss has it been more diffcult to be around your neices/nephews (or other young family members)? I have 6 nieces/nephews, all under 5 years old. I love them all sooo much but there is one in particular (who is like an exact mini of my sister) and it's been really hard for me to see her. She's soooo cute and it just makes it really hard because I can't help thinking that Mary would be just like a mini-me and so cute.

    Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? Really getting frustrated that this is a difficult journey again and I'm excited to finally meet with an RE and hopefully get a game plan but I'm just worried about what that plan may be! Trying so hard to be patient.

    Where are you in your TTCAL journey? cycle 3 cd 19- 5dpo

    Do you have any relevant appts. upcoming? no

    QOTW:  i have 2 nephews on my side (3 and 5) and for some reason they don't bother me at all.  on dh's side we have 1 neice (3) and twin nephews (1)...they were due a month before Bunny.  That was sooooo hard for me after we lost Bunny...to watch SIL be pregnant and have the babies was absolute torture.  Now it has gotten a whole lot easier but I still have my moments.  They also look just like my DH so I always wonder if she would have looked similar to them.  sometimes when people dote on them it really hurts my feelings because it makes me feel like no one remembers her.  It is really hard and I hate it. 

    Open Topic:Bunny's EDD is thursday...I really thought after her angelversary I wouldn't care about the EDD anymore but it is coming and I do care.  I'm not as sad or emotional about it as I was last year but it is just really hard to think that we should be planning a one year old birthday party is super hard.  I'm also just super ready to be pregnant again and stop all of this repeat loss madness.

    Where are you in your TTCAL journey? First month trying post loss, CD 17.  I'm still waiting to O, I used to always O around CD 17 or 18, but I still haven't gotten a smiley on my OPKs, so it's looking like it will be later this time.  I'm worried about TTC again, and pray that it will happen much quicker this time than last time.

    Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming? Nope

    QOTW: Are you an Aunt? Since your loss has it been more diffcult to be around your neices/nephews (or other young family members)?  Yes, I have 3 nieces and one nephew.  All four live in a different city than us, so we don't get to see them too much.  My two nieces from my brother and SIL came to visit two weeks ago, and it was really nice to be around them.  They are 6 and 2.5, so it wasn't as hard for me as seeing a baby.


    Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?   I worry about DH a lot lately, he is super stressed.  He also doesn't have as much support as I do, and I can tell that he is hurting more now.  I'm also worried about money.  We do pretty well, but with all of our medical bills and taxes due right now, we are very tight.

    Where are you in your TTCAL journey?
    On BCP right now, starting FET next month (it is officially confirmed with the RE as of today).  Lupron probably starts next week!  Ouch!

    Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming?
    Nothing with my RE until next month.  But I do have an appointment with my general practitioner for a UTI tomorrow (yay) and my OB Wednesday for a possible yeast infection (double yay).  I need to get as ready as possible for next month!

    QOTW: Are you an Aunt? Since your loss has it been more diffcult to be around your neices/nephews (or other young family members)? 
    I have two nieces and one nephew.  I have to say that it did take me awhile to be comfortable around them, but it is getting easier with time.  I love them all, and I know they miss little Conner and Ben.  But seeing them just reminds me of what I do not have.  
    Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?     
    erinel, I worry about my DH. He has been having more breakdowns over the boys lately and as much as I try to support him, I know there are no words I can say and nothing I can do to make  him feel better.

    Where are you in your TTCAL journey? still waiting for a negative beta. We'll see tomorrow.... hopeful to start prepping for my FET soon? maybe? possibly?


    Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming?  Beta tomorrow and then depending on what the number is we'll see.


    QOTW: Are you an Aunt? Since your loss has it been more diffcult to be around your neices/nephews (or other young family members)?  Nope, no nieces or nephews. I'm an only child so I definitely wont have any on my side. DH's sister we hope never has children but as for his brother I've been on pins and needles the last year+ waiting for a pregnancy announcement. Honestly I don't think I can deal with that and I'm hopeful it doesn't happen anytime soon. I know it sounds terrible but I want a baby of my own not a niece or nephew.... I'd be a horrible aunt at this stage.

    Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?     Not much, just got back from vacation and not looking forward to my beta in the morning. I almost wish I just had it done today while I was home from work. Stalking my patient portal all afternoon doesn't really help my productivity level at work.

    Where are you in your TTCAL journey?
    I'm currently cycling for IVF. Meds are expensive!

    Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming?
    I'm presently being monitored every couple of days.

    QOTW: Are you an Aunt? Since your loss has it been more diffcult to be around your neices/nephews (or other young family members)?
    I do happen to be an aunt, but the sad thing is that I am not close to my nephews. Mainly because I am not close to my brother, as he has not been supportive of many, if not all, of my life decisions.  It has not been difficult to be around other babies generally, but my friend had her baby a few weeks after my edd of the twins, and that has been a little rough at times.
    Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? I am wondering how the hell I'm going to pay for the rest of my meds. I can't believe that my meds coverage is so crappy that I maxed out on 1 ivf cycle and 2 fets. I hope it works :(
