skategirl128

Welcome to the TTA Check in!! This is for anyone who is TTA (trying to avoid), no matter for how long. The check in will be weekly. If you are new, we are sorry you're here and we hope that your stay is short. We have a variety of wait times so please feel free to join. Post an intro and tell us why you are TTA and for how long. It can be waiting on the 1st AF, waiting months, waiting on labs, recovering from surgery, personal reasons, etc. You are more than welcome to join for any reason why you are TTA. Please let me know if you would like to be added or if your information below is incorrect. As the months come to an end, members will be removed. If your TTA has been extended, please let me know. When you are burning the bench unexpectedly, let me know too! *****************************************************
If I removed you in error, please let me know!

@skategirl128 - hey there! thanks for the check-in.  There don't seem to be a ton of us "avoiding" these days!

Any updates from the week? Nothing new- should be coming up on O day here shortly assuming my cycles bounce back like before, so I'll start doing my OPKs just so that I know what's going on

What was the high/low of the week? High- made it through another week- I hate this waiting game but thankfully work has still been so busy that I don't think about it as much.  Low- had to travel for work and it was 2 days away from my family which was no fun

Any TTA related frustrations? Just the waiting, as usual.  The longer I wait, the more the feeling tries to sink in that there could be something really wrong that would keep us from having our rainbow, so I'm trying not to worry until I have something to worry about.

Anything that you're looking forward to this week?  Just the weekend- work is seriously kicking my ass and I'm really tired.

QOTW: if you could travel anywhere where would you go? Italy- it is one of my favorite places!

Hope everyone has a great week!

I had my hopes up for a "green light" today from my RE... I'm intro'ing here instead.  Sad to be TTA, but happy to be joining you all in support of our journey's in TTC.

A little intro- three consecutive losses since TTC last July.  (dates in my siggy)  I had a hysteroscopy today as a follow-up to my first AF since the D&C... was hoping my RE would say that my uterus looked great and I could try again after my next period.  Instead, he found retained tissue (or possibly a polyp/fibroid).  I'm choosing to wait to see if my body will shed it (if it's tissue) with the next period- I will have another hysteroscopy after next month's AF.  If that doesn't happen, I'll have another procedure to remove it.  Best case scenario, I'll be able to officially TTC after September's period.  Don't want to think about worst case scenario...  

QOTW:  I was just thinking about this the other day!  I would have to do some researching to find the exact spot, but definitely someplace tropical in the Caribbean!  With the "only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair!"

Any updates from the week? 

HSG this past Monday was 58 at 6 weeks post op. So, its going down, slowly but surely. I have another (hopefully final!) blood draw next wednesday.

What was the high/low of the week?

High - Finding out that my doctor is letting us decide our next course of action - medicated IUI again or IVF. I am terrified of having another ectopic, so reducing the chances with IVF is appealing, although I have lots of research to do before I make a final decision.

Low - hmm I am having a good week - no real complaints other than the disappointing lingering HSG

Anything that you're looking forward to this week? The weekend. The idea of sleeping in is heavenly!

QOTW: if you could travel anywhere where would you go? Italy.

@sunflwra‌ it does seem like this group is tiny, but I don't mind big hugs! Waiting is tough. Keeping my fx for good news for you!

@mrsjg2013‌ welcome! I'm sorry you're joining us but welcome! Fx you pass the tissue and can avoid surgery!

As for me:

No updates this week. Just trying to survive. Today was my EDD and I can't believe it's been a second July. Not trying probably forever seems bittersweet right now. I know we are in no place to ttc but man is this tough sometimes!

High- great times with friends at a friends birthday on Sunday. Also spending time with SO.
Low- today being my EDD has been tough

Tta frustrations- nothing this week really. Migraines have been better. This is really the first week tta has even bothered me! I'm in a funk I guess.

Sorry I'm a little down this check in. I'm really trying to focus on all the positives in my life right now!

QOTW I would go back to London in a heartbeat!


Big hugs ladies!

@skategirl128 - oh hon- I'm so sorry you're having a rough day with the EDD. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.  I hope your week gets easier.  BIG HUGE HUGS!

mrsjg2013

@skategirl128‌ , thank you for the warm welcome Big ((HUGS)) for your EDD today!

@sunflwra‌ Here's to officially being over the hump and closer to the weekend. Hope you have fun plans.  The waiting just leaves so much time for the mind to run wild, right? Hang in there lady 
@mrsjg2013 Welcome. I'm sorry that you didn't get the best news today. Fingers crossed it passes and you can get back to TTC soon.

Marissa6609 waiting on that number to hit zero is tough. Sending you zero vibes for your next blood draw.

@skategirl128  My EDD for my first loss is quickly approaching and I've been a teary mess occasionally already. I imagine the thought that TTC again may never happen has to be pretty tough on a day like today too.The biggest of hugs, lady.

AFM: I've got bloodwork scheduled for Friday and will have a sonohystogram on cd 8 or 9 in a few weeks. I don't anticipate trying to rush into ttc that cycle so soon after that, so hopefully, we get a plan together and move forward in September.

High: We had an impromptu family gathering with our parents this weekend and it was a great time.

Low: this is silly, but the mosquitos here are driving me nuts. I have bites everywhere and am an itchy mess.
