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! ★☆★ TTA List ★☆★ @AggieBeth06 Thanksgiving 2014 @5895WolterA September 2014 @littlecookie August/September 2014

@skategirl128‌ hopefully you feel more in the groove next week. I'm sure your body is like waaaaa.

High:I've gotten some kudos at work I wasn't expecting. Feels good.

AF should be here this weekend and that means I'll be off the bench. It was really great getting to know you gals. Thank you skategirl for leading this group.

QOTW: I like to buy a thing of ground meat (I use turkey) and make half into sloppy joes and the other half into taco meat. Then you can do sloppy joes a couple days, quesadillas, or chipotle style bowls.

Good Morning Lovely Ladies

 

Any updates from the week?

Yes. The doctor QUICKLY..and i do mean quickly..looked me over and gave me clearance to try again after one cycle.

What was the high/low of the week?

The high was find out i may possibly be ovulating..just having hope that my body is trying to normalize is great for me. The low was going to two weddings and having people ask me SO WHEN ARE YOU HAVING KIDS *dagger to the heart* and my mother in law basically asking me whats wrong with me that made me cause the MC...i wanted to slap her ignorant ass...

Any TTA related frustrations?

not really...but hubby is frustrated to have to wear condoms if we DTD lol

 Anything that you're looking forward to this week?

so sad but im excited to eat at red lobster tomorrow for a luncheon..yaaay cheddar biscuits lol

QOTW: what is your go to lunch? I'm in education and need inspiration for packing lunches again!

@kcrkcs so sorry about your horse....but im glad your doctor gave you some good news...far as the pain...i feel inclined to tell you..i was super scared too...but we recently tried again and it wasnt painful...actually quite the opposite..sorry if its TMI just tryin to help ease your fears a little because i know i was terrified it was going to hurt so badly..anyways best of luck with everything.

@skategirl128 - thanks for checking in!

What was the high/low of the week? - Well the low was definitely the actual mc taking place.  I knew it was coming and actually made an appointment for this past Monday for medical management route but it happened Sunday.  Pretty craptastic all in all.

Any TTA related frustrations? - None yet.  I have my follow up with the OB/GYN today so I guess I'll find out if there will be any frustrations going forward, but as of now, nope!

Anything that you're looking forward to this week? - Girls' Night on Friday!  I haven't seen my friends in a bit as I spend most of my time in Canada with my fiancé (I'm from Massachusetts) and I'm looking forward to just hanging out and downing all the wine.

QOTW: what is your go to lunch? I'm in education and need inspiration for packing lunches again! - in the last few months I discovered Quest bars and I'm obsessed.  They're so good for "protein type" bars and I don't feel bad after I eat them!

kcrkcs - I hear you on being a little nervous.  I share the same sort of worry.  And I'm very sorry about your horse.

negritosmami - fiancé is so anti-condom, too, haha.  Also, is it wrong if I want to TP your mother-in-law for you?

Thanks again for the check in!  HUGS ladies - and it's only two days til Friday!

Amybunny30 - we're about an hour and a half northwest of Ottawa   Hubs in in the army so we are living near the Petawawa base.  I sort of hate it there (as does he, haha) because there's not much going on.  He's enlisted until at least 2018 so right after the wedding we'll be back there.  We're trying to get posted back to New Brunswick, where he's originally from.  We have friends there, plus it's closer to home for me!

negritosmami

ha ha...ladies...im in total agreement..throat punch to the MIL for sure...can we all do it at once so she can realllly get the message..ill take the left side and yea i also agree with the guys that condoms suck..buuut so does "waiting" sooo they better wrap it up and deal with it until AF comes...i bet all our guys that have to deal with that will be sooo ecstatic to see AF when normally they are like aww here this b**ch comes again loool

Hi @skategirl128!  Thanks for the check-in.  I'm sorry that you are dragging this week and I hope that it gets easier! 

@littlecookie - Congrats on burning the bench and I hope TTC goes exceptionally well for you! 

@negritosmami - Yay for ovulating!  WTF is wrong with MIL???  Wow...how insensitive and downright mean to say!  So sorry!  ((((HUGS)))

@kcrkcs - Welcome to the check-in!  I'm so sorry about the horse.  I hope that he can live a full life, even if it's not the one you envisioned for him. 

@jms627 - So sorry about your m/c.  Many, many (((((HUGS))))

@mrandmrsk91011 - Welcome to the check-in!  What kind of foods have you been cooking?

@heartbot - Congrats lady!  Good luck!

@Amybunny30 - I'm glad that you and DH are feeling closer!  Have fun with the kitchen reno.

@petitchou1019 - So, so sorry that your beta isn't going down as expected.  I hope you hear from your doc soon!  Enjoy movie/wine night!

AFM:  Any updates from the week? None, still haven't taken an HPT and I'm not going to.

What was the high/low of the week? High - seeing my family last weekend.  We're pretty close and I don't see them nearly enough.  In the past 3 months, it's been so all sad occasions, so it was nice to just visit and enjoy our time last weekend.

Any TTA related frustrations? I just hate the disconnected feeling I have in my other check-ins.  I love to hear about who others' journeys are going, but it's hard at the same time to not be on the same road. 

Anything that you're looking forward to this week? I have a wedding this weekend that I'm coordinating for my church.  I hope it goes smoothly and I can't wait to see all of the pretty dresses and flowers.

QOTW: what is your go to lunch? I'm in education and need inspiration for packing lunches again!  I'm pretty boring and eat salads everyday.  It's usually a salad/veggie bag mix with cucumbers and turkey or chicken.  Lately, I've been putting crispy onion salad toppings on, but I ran out and forgot to bring more today... 

rmpar29

@mrandmrsk91011 - Ooh, sounds yummy!  Can I come over for dinner?    I've been doing wedding coordinating for 4 years now.  It's usually only 2-3 weddings each summer.  It's so much fun and I really like taking a break from my life.
