Re: ~*~June Bugs Check-In 11/25/14 ~*~
QOTW - We go to my aunt's house every year for Thanksgiving. We used to go to my Grandma's, but we outgrew her house. Everyone brings a dish so my aunt's not stuck cooking everything. It's a wonderful time and the only holiday we all get together. (We do for Christmas, but not on Christmas. Usually a day or two later.)

@rmpar29!! Thank you for the check in as always >:D<
I am okay. Just taking this cycle one day at a time. I need to regulate my schedule so I can make sure temps are consistent. Just waiting for CD15 to start our ED or EOD method and I hope my O is back to CD20 - CD25
QOTW: Are you traveling for Thanksgiving, or hosting?
Traveling to MIL house. She is an amazing host and I hate doing dishes, so it works out very very well. My H is a chef so we will be preparing a lot of food at our place and traveling with it.
@agpjt413 - FX that sexy time did the trick
TTC since 2012

Said goodbye on 2/10/2014 at 21 weeks. We miss our baby girl "J"
My Chart
@kittymeowbark - Your temps looks pretty good right now. I don't see too much variation and you should still see a definite temp shift. Have you thought of temping vaginally? Other ladies have said that their temps were less rocky that way.
@Kellybenelly83 - FX for your appointment tonight! LOL, I didn't even think about Canadians not having Thanksgiving this week. Sorry!!!
@MrsRed09 - YAY! I'm glad that your HCG is dropping and I hope AF comes soon.

DH works for a company that is British based as well, so we signed up for him to do a job swap. It's a great opportunity for him to go over there and work at the manufacturing plant- and for us to experience Europe. I should be excited for it- but frustrated with the timing now.
@jones6863 - I just noticed your avatar, I think many women here would appreciate if you changed it. It can be hard for some women to see. I'm glad that the spotting has stopped and I hope that AF comes soon for you. That sounds like a wonder and exciting experience! How long will you be gone for?
@KatyF0813 - Wow, that's really crappy! I'm sorry for CD1, but it seems like it might be a good thing if you were that terrified. I don't think that fear will go away, but it does get easier. Definitely have a talk with DH and see what he thinks about it. ((((HUGS)))

Well I got my CD3 blood work done this cycle, and it wasn't great despite the nurse calling me and telling me today that everything looked good. Clearly they were looking for PCOS signs and not too concerned about much else. My FSH is 10, which is certainly not what I would call "good," my vitamin D was borderline low despite extra supplementation for the past few months, and my testosterone is below the normal range, which isn't good either, despite what the nurse said. So I'm annoyed and grumpy today.
QOTW: Are you traveling for Thanksgiving, or hosting? I'm traveling. I'll be avoiding extended family gatherings because I have no desire to see the newborns born within a month of when my DD should've been but we'll hang out with immediate family.
October 2011 - DS (7)

Things have been going better the past few days. Finally feeling like we are going to be able to move forward again. Can't wait to start trying again! :-)
@nange12 - I'm taking sausage stuffing and a bread dip appetizer. I'm glad that your MRI is done and I hope that you get good results! Good luck with the RE.

@rmpar29, I don't have a follow up appointment with my doctor and doubt they will schedule one since, you know, my results were "good" and all. I do have 7DPO testing coming up though, so when I call to set up that appointment, I plan to tell them I want AMH tested too and will take it from there.
I take 2000 IU of vitamin D a day currently through my prenatal and extra supplement. I think I'll up it to about 4000 IU a day for a while. How much do you take?

QOTW: we are hosting at our house. SO will do turkey and I will do the rest. We will only have 8 ppl or so mostly his family. My family doesnt do much for the holidays.
@CFearsy - I cannot believe that punk that hit your car! I've been thinking about that since you posted it. I hope his daddy gave him a few choice words and a stiff punishment, but that probably didn't happen. I hope that the whole ordeal is over with soon for you! I'm sorry, but I really don't know much about the progesterone levels to be able to give you any advice. It does sound like they are low for being on that much progesterone. Could certainly be dealing with a low progesterone issue. I hope you can talk to your doctor about that soon love!
@readinglove - I believe that your thyroid should be until 2 for TTC purposes, and some RE's like it under 1. Don't quote me on that though, just pulling it from my memory, so that could be wrong. Did you hear from your midwife? Depending on what they say, you might want to consult with an Endocrinologist on your thyroid.
@Mommie2be18 - I'm glad that you and DH got to reconnect this weekend. It is so hard when all you want is that feeling of closeness and you can't have it. I know what you mean about wanting the holidays to fly by. Take it easy and be kind to yourself. Let yourself grieve as much as you need to, but I'm glad that you are feeling a bit stronger. ((((HUGS))))
@schuebja - I hope that your HCG comes back at 0 honey! 3 pokes? Do you just have difficult veins, or was the nurse sub par on drawing blood?
Happy Thanksgiving ladies! I will only be on sporadically for the end of this week and the weekend, but will try to catch with you when I can. Much love and many ((((HUGS)))) to all of you. Be kind to yourselves and take a break from the holiday action when you need to. Feel free to PM me if you need to talk or vent and I will get back to you when I can.

@rmpar29 – thanks for the check-in. Hopefully O comes soon for you!
@agpt413 – Sad when you’re actually waiting for AF to come, but I know how that is. FX she comes soon.
@kittymeowbark – sometimes one day at a time is all we can do. Hope your cycle cooperates this month!
@kellybenelly83 – I know it’s frustrating to keep going back in for more tests, but hopefully everything will come back better the next time around. It’s understandable to be mopey. Hugs
@mrsred09 – Glad to hear your numbers are dropping.
@jmicole1005 – Sorry that you all got in an argument. Give yourself time to get through this. I’ve seen losses really hurt a marriage, but it can also make them stronger. With regard to sex, it might be easier on you if you all ease into things… watch a movie on the sofa and play around a little and see if that helps. For me the first time after my first loss was the hardest but after that it just felt good to be close to my husband.
@jones6863 – Glad things seem like they are healing well.
@katyf0813 – I didn’t see your TP, but sounds like you had a whirlwind of emotions. Hugs.
@cheesypeas – I’m sorry the nurse didn’t thoroughly go over your results. Will you get to talk to the doctor at all about them and get more answers?
@nange12 – FX the MRI gives you answers of some sort.
@Cfearsy – I get feeling overwhelmed. We can be overwhelmed buddies. Sorry your blood work isn’t really giving you much as far as answers. I wish I knew what to tell you on progesterone… My doc seems to feel like above 20 is good at that point, but I get different answers from google. UGH!
@readinglove – Ok… so not to alarm you, but 2.83 on thyroid seems high. My doc prefers closer to 1 for fertility purposes. While 2.83 is in range, because of your losses, I’d push for more thyroid antibody tests because you could still have Hashimotos like me… Mine was never actually that high and I was still diagnosed.
Hi June bugs – I’m sorry I’ve been noncommunicative lately… I’ve been a little down in the dumps and things at home are on the nutso side.
@rmpar29 – thanks for the check-in. Hopefully O comes soon for you!

@catvaughn5002 - I'm glad that AF showed up and seems to be normal now. I had a snarky response for your family, but then decided that was my migraine talking and it wouldn't create the most festive atmosphere. I hope that the "laughing off" works and that you are able to enjoy yourself.
