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 lady!  How was this last week for you?  This will be my last check-in here :-S which is bittersweet.  Thanks for being a wonderful check-in leader and I will be stalking you! 

Any updates from the week? Well, AF arrived today and DH and I agreed to TTC this cycle, so we are coming off the bench. 

What was the high/low of the week? High - Coming off the bench, low - DH's new meds are causing a little issue (ok, a big issue) down below.  Hopefully, that goes away before O week.

Any TTA related frustrations? None

Anything that you're looking forward to this week? Just the weekend.  This week is very stressful at work and I'm ready for a break!

QOTW: what is on your fall bucket list?  Get holiday pictures taken once there's some snow on the ground.

I will miss all of you lovely ladies!  >:D<

@petitchou - Where are you going in the Finger Lakes?  I live there, that's why I'm being nosy. 

rmpar29

@petitchou - Enjoy your wine tour!  I live near Cayuga Lake.  The wineries on Seneca are much better though.  I've never been to Zugibe's, but I've heard great things.

Hi all!

I feel like everyone's leaving me here! will definitely miss you @rmpar29 and @petitchou1019 , and congrats on setting those benches ablaze. @rmpar29 I hope you're able to get some rest and relaxation from your busy work week and your H's medicine issues are resolved in time for O week. and @petitchou1019 , congrats on your 1 year! Hope you two have a great time at Finger Lakes. 

AFM,

Any updates from the week? 
Not really. Been testing at the high school so it's been rather quiet lately. But we just gave out report cards today so I'm anticipating working with lots of students whose "teacher's don't like them so they're failing them" I also got an opportunity to make a little side money this weekend so yipee for that. 
What was the high/low of the week? 
I got a little low earlier this week with some weird dreams and feelings of inadequacy. I think today I'm finally shaking them. Primarily I'm just not happy with my body right now and I have times where I feel like I'm just not desirable in any sense of the word. But, I need to give myself a little slack, because it's only when I feel comfortable with myself as is that I can confidently work towards future goals. If I don't I just get discouraged to the point where I don't do anything. 

My high of the week has been today. I saw several of my students in their classrooms and they were all super happy to see me. Feels good to have "my" students and see them succeed. 
Any TTA related frustrations? 
Just being impatient. I need to knock out one of these internships before we TTC so I'll be done with my masters before hopefully giving birth and moving to a new state with better job opportunities. Also my insecurities have been preventing any BDing lately. 
Anything that you're looking forward to this week? 
Looking forward to working and making a little money this weekend. Being an unpaid intern is hard on the finances, so money making opportunities are lovely. 
QOTW: what is on your fall bucket list?

To make some new recipes in the crock pot. I'm so ready for chili and beef stew

@skategirl128 - thanks for the check in, as always

Any updates from the week? - Nope, just counting the days until December.

What was the high/low of the week? - High, had a really productive week at work.  Low, yesterday - my fiancé is in the Canadian Forces and the attacks hit a bit too close to home

Any TTA related frustrations? - Nope!

Anything that you're looking forward to this week? - Lunch date with friends, hopefully!

QOTW: what is on your fall bucket list? - I REALLY want to get to a haunted house, but there aren't any good ones near us

Big hugs ladies! I'm here if you need me anytime

@rmpar29‌ and @petite_chou‌ congrats on burning that bench!

@forevermyfenix‌ I'm glad work is going well and that you have another opportunity. Unpaid internships are rough!

@jms627‌ big hugs! The attacks were scary I lived in Canada for many years and it hurts my heart that you all are experiencing that.

As for me:
Any updates from the week: I've worked hard to put together a truck or treat event for our school and it's finally tomorrow

High- a good weekend
Low- being so tired!

TTA frustrations- none. I went to my ob and we are finally changing the pill I'm on. I'm hoping the spotting and migraines ease up!

Anything you're looking forward to this week- trunk or treat tomorrow

QOTW- some last minute bonfires, carving pumpkins and taking gorgeous fall pictures. The leaves here are beautiful this year

@Sterling13‌ welcome to the check in. Im so sorry to hear you still have clots to pass big hugs!

Hi! I'm pretty new to the board, and TTA due to a partial molar pregnancy. Had the d&c Oct 3, and Dr is benching us for 6-12 months Feel free to add me to the list!

Any updates from the week?
Good news is my hcg level dropped from 102,000 to 446 last week! My Dr said that was a good sign!

High/low of the week?
Low point was my bff's reaction to me telling her that our miscarriage was partial molar, that we have to wait to TTC, etc. She just belittled the whole situation, and told me to be happy with what I have. Um, thanks for the support?

TTA frustrations?
Getting a bc prescription today (haven't used bc for...6 years?). It just seems so counterproductive, even though I know it's necessary for our situation.

Looking forward to this week?
Doing some fall stuff with the fam!

Fall bucket list?
Eat everything butternut squash and a few caramel apples!

@DanandVan‌ I'm so sorry you had a partial molar. Big hugs! Yay for your hcg dropping though. Patience is key with a partial molar- I had one in January 2013. I'm here if you need me. Welcome to this check in though! More hugs!

DanandVan

Thank you, @skategirl128‌ Patience is the thing I'm worst at, lol! Thanks for your support - it means a lot to me!
