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 Indefinitely

Any updates from the week? Started back at the gym and feeling pretty good about it

What was the high/low of the week? 1st Halloween in our neighborhood and it was amazing.  We went through 5 Costco sized bags of candy and ran out at 830 (we were going to keep the light on until 9)

Any TTA related frustrations?  Today is my first CD1 since my D&C....I'm feeling pretty emotional today

Anything that you're looking forward to this week? We are going to Santa Cruz/Monterey for DH's birthday this weekend

QOTW: I'm participating in a five thankful things every day this month. It's really been helping me. Share five things you are thankful for today. My husband, my parents, my friends, my old bosses who gave me stellar recommendations for a job, and the job I get to start on 11/18!

@mrskelly731 , sorry about your CD1. I think I took a slight comfort in that it meant that my body was getting back to normal, but at the same time I didn't want it to be normal - I just wanted to be pregnant again. (((Big Hugs))) as you go through this. Congrats on your new job! What will you be doing? 

@skategirl128 , thanks for the check in. Sorry to hear you've had to deal with those migraines. Those are the worst. Your little vacation for your H's birthday sounds amazing

Any updates from the week? 
DH sat down and had a talk with me about how he's not going to be ready to TTC in January/Feb like we had planned. We can't do it financially and we've got to finish our Masters degrees - which I wont be able to finish until December 2015 and he won't be done until mid 2016 if he is able to get his classes and internship hours done on time. And most likely it'll be further than that. I'm depressed. That was what I was clinging onto. That maybe I would have my rainbow and be the mother that I wanted to be to Fenix. But it's not going to happen. Not for at least another year. 

What was the high/low of the week? 
High of the week: Going to a friends house on Halloween to escape the ringing doorbell. We watched scary movies and I made dinner. Was nice and I got to get my mind off things for a little while. 

Low: After Dh and I had that talk, it seems like everyone is suddenly getting their BFP. I've had at least 5 announcements thrown in my face since. And I'm bitter and feel left behind. I thought I'd lost my support group here because I didn't know if I could keep getting left behind. I'm going to try though. I need something. 

Any TTA related frustrations? Well, all of the above. 
Anything that you're looking forward to this week? It's a long weekend for the school that I intern at. Going to enjoy sleeping in. 
QOTW: I'm participating in a five thankful things every day this month. It's really been helping me. Share five things you are thankful for today.

I'm thankful that I do still have DH here, and that overall I've had a supportive family. I'm thankful for the financial support my family has given while DH and I are unable to work due to internship. I'm thankful for my supportive internship supervisor who unfortunately had two late term losses herself. I'm thankful for my animals. I'm thankful that my vehicle still runs well.

@mrskelly731‌ big hugs for cd1. Have fun on your trip!

@forevermyfenix‌ I'm so sorry you're feeling left behind. I'm here if you need me- I'm not leaving here anytime soon! I'm sorry you're going to benched longer- it isn't easy. All of the bfps can be so hard too. Big hugs love!

@Amybunny30‌ I might ask about both options. We are tta indefinitely and possibly forever- not totally sure. Have fun visiting family!

Thanks for the check in. Nothing. Ew here, in a holding pattern and counting down the days until surgery (5 weeks and 6 days in case your wondering ). Anxious for it, since there could be complications- but I need this darn fibroid out for my sanity- the pain it's causing is going to make me go crazy. Staring to get a bit bitter while sitting on the bench and watching the world go by. Just hoping to keep busy and maybe have some answers of a timeline after the surgery

skategirl128

Big hugs @LauraO11‌! I hope your wait goes by smoothly. I'm sorry you're still in pain from it, but at least you have an end date in place. More hugs!

skategirl128

@Sterling13‌ you should aw the tattoo here too! I'm sorry you're still in a holding pattern. Big hugs!

Hi! I'm new to this check-in. A little background. I had a natural mc back in May of 2012. And I was just diagnosed with a missed mc the end of October. I just had my D&C today. We will definitely be TTA for at least one cycle, or more if my OB tells us to wait longer at my post-op appointment.

We also have a huge out of state move coming up within the next few weeks. So we have a tentative TTC date of January 2015. Just giving me enough time to heal, and both of us time to adjust to living about 1000 miles away from home.



Any updates from the week? None this week.

What was the high/low of the week? I think that the D&C was the high point and low point of the week. It was a very emotionally difficult procedure to go through. But I'm so happy that it is over with, and now I can focus on the emotional healing.

Any TTA related frustrations? Not yet. I'm actually going to start temping tomorrow, to see what my cycles are going to be up to.

Anything that you're looking forward to this week? I'm looking forward to having a really low key weekend. If I'm feeling up to it, I might do some baking this weekend. That always seems to cheer me up

QOTW: I'm participating in a five thankful things every day this month. It's really been helping me. Share five things you are thankful for today.

1. My husband.
2. My family.
3. Norco and a heating pad! It's doing wonders for the cramping.
4. That the holidays are coming up soon.
5. The Bump, especially the wonderful ladies on this board.

@skategirl128‌ sorry to hear that BC causes you migraine. I have the same experience with them, and it sucks. Hope that the new BC works for you.

@mrskelly731‌ sorry to hear that You are on CD1 and feeling emotional. But I hope you have a blast on your trip with your DH.

@forevermyfenix‌ I'm so sorry to hear that you might have longer to start TTC. Great big virtual hugs for you

@Amybunny30‌ sorry to hear about the long and painful AF, and the anxiety:/ But I'm glad you had a great time at the fundraiser.

@LauraO11‌ Hope the weeks pass quickly for you, and the surgery is successful and complication free!

@Sterling13‌ Sorry to hear that you are still having faint positives:/ Hope the next test you take is a stark white negative. I'm glad you're loving your new tattoo though!

EIsieMae

@readinglove‌ Sorry to hear that you having been feeling more emotional over the past couple of weeks. It's such a difficult thing to process. Some days I feel like I've really got a handle on it, and other days I feel like my world is falling apart:/ But yay for moving into your new house. It's always amazing to be moving away from apartment living

skategirl128

@elsiemae welcome! I'm so sorry fit your losses. Good luck with your move! Big hugs!

@readinglove‌ welcome! I'm sorry for your loss. Have fun with your mom and grandma this weekend! Big hugs!

forevermyfenix

Thanks ladies. I really do appreciate the support. I will try to return it. 

Had another tough day today. DH lost his internship. This is going to push back TTC even further.
