November 11th

Hi, ladies! I'm sorry this thread is a day late. My week has been pretty busy so far. Yesterday, I left the house at 7am and didn't get home until 10pm because of parent-teacher conferences and dinner/drinks afterwards with some coworkers. Then, today, I spent my whole day off raking leaves in my yard. I'm exhausted! I promise I'll be a better check-in leader next week, but for this week, just update us on how you're all doing!

Hi there BK! Hope you are doing well. I was starting to worry about you. No biggie though, you are a FABULOUS leader! 

AFM: You saw my AW post. So I'm feeling blue, and MH is at school till about 9 tonight, so I think I'm going to indulge myself in the lasagna he bought for me yesterday! 

I am very pleased with our timing this cycle! Even more importantly, my stress levels with this new job have dropped dramatically and I get the feeling this will drastically improve our chances. The clear temp shift to and from O make me very happy. Even if this isn't our cycle I'm happy that my body is obviously responding well to the lessened stress! YAY! Currently 3DPO, and I ordered my very first internet cheapie tests which will be here in time for me to start testing on MH bday, Nov 17th (9do). 

Anyways, I've missed you ladies and can't wait to see how you all are doing this week!

BethKate2

@JellicalParker, yay for good timing! GL to you!

Elliecat17

HI lovelies! @BethKate2 leaves..... I miss leaves. Ours are all covered by feet of snow that feel Monday night through this morning.

@JellicalParker Fx for you lady! Glad the stress is less.

AFM: Not much here. AF should be on her way out the door here soon and we can get back to NTNP because that is the goal for the rest of the year. I haven't decided if I will temp or not. Probably not but maybe I will just to keep seeing if I O. For now though my big focus will be on eating healthy and trying to loose weight. I have set a goal of 10 lbs by Christmas. Maybe I can get there. But now I must go cook food for the starving man who is moving all those feet of snow so I can get out to the classroom today.

@BethKate2 - No worries dear!  Sounds like you've had a very busy week.  I hope it calms down a bit for you. 

@JellicalParker - I hope your TWW flies by.  We are TWW buddies!

@Elliecat17 - Good luck with your weight loss.  You can do it!

AFM: Just hanging out in the TWW.  My O moved up a few days this month, which is good and bad.  DH and I were not prepared for it, but I hope that it stays earlier.  So, now we wait.

rmpar29

@Amybunny30 - Sorry, my post was supposed to say that we were not prepared.  I guess it's too early for me!  YAY for bench burning!!!!! 

rmpar29

@HoldingOutHope - Wow, your temps really aren't cooperating are they?  I hope that you have a good appointment next week honey.  ((((HUGS)))

Elliecat17

@rmpar29 and @Amybunny30 Lots of water and well I have a feeling that shoveling 2+ feet of snow (already!!!) will help. Also no snacking. I am so bad with that. And portion size. Plus less of allowing the H to decide pizza for dinner. I'm going to stop letting him choose. And finally more water. I never drink enough because bathroom breaks are few and far between in my world.

Elliecat17

@jj32 oh!!!! it's a pretty chart!!!! FX lady!!! I could send you pictures. then you wouldn't have to imagine.... lol

rmpar29

@jj32 - I agree, that is a pretty chart!  FX hon!

rmpar29

@CFearsy - So many (((((HUGS)))) sweetie!  That really sucks and is going to be so hard.  I hope you have a good appointment Friday and that the weekend turns out better than anticipated.  Yes, our lives really are a waiting game.  Waiting to POS, waiting to O, waiting to POS again, waiting for AF.  Blah!

MrsPhD83

Hi @BethKate2! I was just thinking of you and wondering how you are. You're a busy lady! Hope you're finding some time to relax too

@JellicalParker, your timing looks good! FX'd for you this cycle!

@Elliecat17, that sounds like a great goal! I'm so impressed. This time of year with the holidays are the worst for me!

@rmpar29, I have been chart stalking you Yay for earlier O! FX'd for you!

@Amybunny30, I have been squeeeeeeeing all day that you burned the bench!!!! So happy that your H is on board and ready to move forward. YAYAYAY!!!!!

@HoldingOutHope, That's so awesome that you have a personal trainer! I've considered getting one myself because I think it would help my motivation but then I talk myself out of it due to the cost. Maybe one of these days! I hope everything comes back ok with your biopsy. Have you worked with a Reproductive Immunologist in all of your testing? I know a few ladies who had unexplained infertility/unexplained RPL and they were able to have successful pregnancies after treatment through an RI. I don't know a ton about it, but it may be an avenue worth exploring?

@jj32, girrrrrl you know I've been chart stalking you! I have everything crossed that this is it!

@CFearsy, So glad some of your BW already came back ok! I hope you can get a plan going with your Dr. soon. And I'm SO SO sorry about that work trip. That's the worst I hope you have a reason to not drink on that trip, but if not, then I encourage lots of boozing.

AFM, just waiting for my TTA cycle to end. Not sure if you caught this in the FFFC thread, but my mom basically told me she thought we should TTA 1 more cycle because I'd be 37 weeks at my sister's wedding if I got PG and I would be "too uncomfortable" and "if something happened, it would be disruptive." UGGGGHHHHH. I basically told her how hard this has been for MH and I, and that I would ask for my Dr.'s advice. So I went to see my Dr. who did my D&C about my recent CP. She was awesome! Very patient and listened to all of my concerns. She wanted to retest my thyroid, and do a CBC plus ferritin reserves and folate reserves because I had some unresolved anemia over the summer from being PG and then my surgery. I also need another TV/US because I had a hemorraghic cyst identified in July that she wants to make sure is resolved. She said she wanted to hold off on more extensive testing until March (if I'm still not pregnant) or she would send me straight to an RE if I have another MC/MMC. I'm ok with that plan because I feel like there is some kind line of testing in place for the future. Then I asked her about trying next cycle and she said "how far away is the wedding? Oh? 6 hour drive? That's fine. I mean, you may be uncomfortable but I'm sure you don't care about that. And honestly, after all you've been through in the last year, I would advise you to at least try." LOVE THAT WOMAN!!!! So I told my mom what she said and my mom was like "oh.....ok." haha. Doctor's orders!!! Sorrynotsorry!!!! Also....sorry that was so long. haha. Had to vent!

rmpar29

@MrsPhD83 - I'm so glad that your doctor said that!  I cannot believe your mother said that and I'm glad that you are going ahead with trying after all!

CFearsy said:

Well, considering the trip is in two days and we're currently benched, I'll definitely have a reason to drink. I'm really hoping there will be liquor since I don't do beer or wine.

I'm so glad you're going to be trying again and screw your mom for saying your pregnancy would be "disruptive." Seriously, lady?! No.

@CFearsy, Oh man, I totally missed that it's in 2 DAYS!!!!!!! UGHHHHHHH!!!!! I'm so sorry. Drink a lot.

Elliecat17

@CFearsy Hugs lady. I'm so sorry. That's horrible!! I probably will temp because I need to not be crazy. Lol
