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.

Hi! Thanks for the check in, I was wondering where I could vent about this

Any updates from the week?
Since I am new I will tell my story (as short as possible)- TTC a little before I got married in Jan 2013. 3 losses to date- May 2013, April 2014, and October 2014. Because of the 3 losses and the fact I have never had a successful pregnancy my OB recommended a specialist and also recommended not trying for FOUR months. So here I sit waiting for my first pre-conception appointment that isn't until Dec 17th. It's still very hard for me to avoid seeing how I am 40 in June and MH and I had initially gave ourselves until May 2015 before throwing in the towel.

What was the high/low of the week?

High of the week was finding out my first RE visist is in Dec instead of Jan like they initially said. My low was yesterday when my director sent out a company wide email that simply said "congrats" and when I opened it it was a huge picture of my co workers new baby girl. Then I had to go through and delete the million responses that everyone send with the congrats becuase everyone has to reply all in those situations. :I

Any TTA related frustrations?

Frustrated because my body bounces right back after the MC's. I am usually on track my normal 28-29 days after the MC begins. I know I am lucky in that respect (sorry for those that don't bounce back so quickly) but it makes me want to start trying again right away

Anything that you're looking forward to this week?

Halloween party...because lots of alcohol (which I haven't had in over 2 months so I have lots to catch up on!)

QOTW: any fun Halloween plans?

Going to a party since it's on Friday night this year! :-D

@Nikolie93‌ I'm sorry you're benched for so long and have to wait til december for an RE appointment. Big hugs!

@Sterling13‌ I hope you feel better soon! I'm sure you'll get drunk fast with that game!

@lav17‌ welcome to this check in! Good luck with temping!

@Amybunny30‌ I'm glad you talked to your boss and found support!

Thank you for the check in, @skategirl128

@Nikolie93‌ That wait time is a bummer but I really hope once you get into the doctor that he or she will be able to give you some answers!

@Sterling13‌ I saw that drinking game, haha!  You'll be drunk in record time!

@lav17‌ Welcome to the check in! Hope your dad feels better soon!  I haven't started temping yet, but I tend to wake up a lot at night too.

@Amybunny30‌ I'm glad your boss was so supportive!

Any updates from the week? Nothing new.  December is fast approaching, so that is exciting.

What was the high/low of the week? Two highs for this week - my wedding band arrived, and I found out two of my best friends are both expecting their second children in May.  It was also my low, too, since that flung me straight into a pity party of one.

Any TTA related frustrations? None at the moment. I'm back on BCP until December.

Anything that you're looking forward to this week? Dressing up and handing out candy!

QOTW: any fun Halloween plans?  Handing out candy and then heading to the grown up Halloween party!

Hugs to you all!

Any updates from the week? Nah..I'm slacking on eating healthy/working out.  I need to find my motivation

What was the high/low of the week? High - I got the job I was REALLY wanting!  So excited! Low - I've got short timers syndrome and do NOT want to be at work.

Any TTA related frustrations? Just counting down the days before I can burn the bench...

Anything that you're looking forward to this week? Halloween

QOTW: any fun Halloween plans? DH and I bought our house in Aug and the first thing our neighbor said was to start stocking up on Halloween candy. Apparently our neighborhood is where it's at for TOTing. I'm excited to see how many kids we actually get.

On Saturday night DH and I are going to a Halloween party. DH always hates dressing up so I'm excited he agreed to this one.

Thanks, ladies! I had every intention of keeping up with this thread better but work got nuts the week.

@Sterling13‌ and @lav17‌ I didn't get a reason for my OB on being benched for 4 months. If my cycle comes back normal like my last two MC's I'm not sure why I would need to wait. Maybe to mentally heal? Ain't no 39 year old got time for that haha

@lav17‌ again..I'm sorry you've had 3 losses as well *hug*

No real updates other than I'm ready to get back to my normal routines. 

Highs for the week are I think I'm ready to try sooner than we had previously anticipated. We've had many signs that our angel boy clearly saved my life so that we can have another child and become parents. 

Lows would be my best friend is pregnant with her second..I'm very excited for her it just happened at a very sensitive time. It is also a contributing factor to me wanting to try sooner rather than later. Also, yesterday marked a month since our little boy was born and immediately left us. It's been rough getting through certain events because we had made plans.

Any frustrations? Other than waiting? No. I'm pretty anxious to get back to all things normal and that includes extracurricular activities with my husband...Pretty sure we still want to wait until my cycles begin and I would like to start running again and getting back into that routine but we are anxious to start trying.

Anything I'm looking forward to:: We are headed home to Seattle to spend time with family and seeing friends for the long Veterans day weekend next week so that's pretty exciting.

Any halloween plans. Nope. Husband used to be a bartender so he hates all "amateur drinking nights" haha. So, just making a nice dinner and watching scary (cheesy) movies.
