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!

Good afternoon, all  

No big updates... will be going back to the RE sometime in the next week to get my HCG levels checked.  Fingers crossed I'm below 5, but really praying that I'm down to 0 (which may indicate that I passed the retained tissue on my own).  I was at 6.9 about a week or so ago.

High of the week will likely be happening tomorrow afternoon- going out on the boat and cooking out with some friends.  Low of the week is the digestive trouble I'm having... not fun

I'm looking forward to our court date tomorrow morning (from a car accident, not my fault, other guy isn't paying for my totaled car).  Not looking forward to going, but I am looking forward to it (hopefully) being all over finally!  (Accident was last October.)

QOTW- I used to relieve stress by working out, but since I've been unable to workout for some time, I've turned to TV  I don't know that it relieves my stress, per say, but it helps me focus on something else and not think about it.  Also, my new kitties really help put a smile on my face when I'm frustrated.

@mrsjg2013 - I hope your levels are down at your next draw. 6.9 is so close!

Any updates from the week?  No updates here, another HCG draw tomorrow. Fingers crossed it is finally down below 5. I got my 'period' this weekend. My RE wont call it my period because my HCG is still up, but from charting, this is the second 'period' post op and it lines up exactly when I would have had my period, had I not been pregnant.  I am hoping to have my HSG this cycle too, so that we can move on to either IUI or IVF next cycle.


Anything that you're looking forward to this week? Girls night Friday with some of my friends from high school. Its a much needed girls night 

QOTW: what do you do to relieve stress? Work out. Lately I have been doing spin class - love it!

Thanks for the check in @skategirl128‌ hope things are going well on your end.

@mrsjg2013‌ fingers crossed your hcg is zero. Your trip sounds so fun! I watch too much tv right now too.

I'm cd2, had bloodwork on Friday and now an ultrasound scheduled for next Tuesday. After that we'll see where we are on tta front.

High: I'm about to meet H for dinner at a place that got voted best date spot. Super excited!
Low: I learned about a friends loss

QOTW: probably grab a coffee or ice cream, not the best solutions.

@Marissa6609- Thanks!  Here's to low numbers for the both of us!!

@mrsjg2013‌ fx for a negative beta!

@Marissa6609‌ fx for a negative beta for you too!

@littlecookie‌ good luck with your ultrasound! Have fun at dinner tonight!

skategirl128 I'm so glad to hear that SO is healthy and that you guys are doing well. That has to be a huge relief.  I'm glad you've made it past your EDD now. Big hugs! My EDD for my first loss is this weekend, and I'm supposed to go to two showers. I tried to mention it to H at dinner, but he basically said his coping mechanism is to not talk about. So, we'll see how it goes over here. Hopefully, next Tuesday I'll also be saying I survived.
