2. Status? Wto

3. R/R: I called my OB office yesterday to let them know DH did his SA and just making sure they got the results and that I want a call back from my doc to discuss next steps and whatnot and they said she's not in until Wednesday but they'd send a message back to her desk to watch for results and give us a call. So I said thank you and she said have a good day and hung up without ever asking my of my H's names. Yeah, I'm sure they're sending that message back there *eyeroll* 

4.GTKY: If you could have a personal chef or a house keeper for free, which would you choose? Definitely house keeper! I like cooking but cleaning...not so much.

@ruby696 yikes! I’ve done that with our cable bill before... paying more than one month at once definitely hurts! 
@splashmountain ugh, huge eyeroll to the front desk there. She was definitely just trying to brush you off, so rude!
@Mamaof2beautifulgirls glad you’re looking forward to seeing your students

1. Introduce yourself (if new): not new. MC and D&C 3/19
2. Status? WTO
3. R/R: We’re taking our family vacation the last week of August, and I just got word that I may need to attend a conference the third week of August so I may end up with two straight weeks off work! Would be nice to have a little extended vacation (aside from the conference time)
4.GTKY: If you could have a personal chef or a house keeper for free, which would you choose?
Going to continue with the trend and say housekeeper for sure! I’m not that big on cooking but I’d do it more if I didn’t have to worry about cleanup lol

@splashmountain I'd call back and tell them they forgot to ask MH's name. Just to make a point.

@Mamaof2beautifulgirls I can't believe school is about to start again! I'm not a teacher, but it seems like the summer flew by.

@manillabar Two weeks out of the office would be amazing!

splashmountain

@ruby696 I've done the same thing before, good thing you got the notice before the water was shut off! And I thought about calling them back and saying that, but decided to just call back Wednesday morning when my doc will be in. I was in a foul mood yesterday and it wouldn't have been pretty 

@Mamaof2beautifulgirls I'm sorry you're having anxiety about ttc again. I don't have any advice as far as clomid and late ovulation but I wish you the best of luck with whatever you decide.

@manillabar 2 weeks off work, I'm so jealous!

40momma

1. Not new. 4 MC

2. Self benched. Although I started taking my pre Natals again. It's crazy how each loss I swear I will never put myself through that again, and then....
3. First adoption information meeting went ok, just lots of info to get us thinking. Some hard discussions after but makes me so happy I have such a supporting partner to go through all of this with. I've also got my first counselling session tomorrow. I figure if we decide to TTC again or decide to throw in the towel, either way I'm going to be a bit of a basket case. So just preparing myself to board the bsc train.
4. 100% housekeeper. I've had one in the past and it's been amazing but for some rrason we cancelled it and I really want to hire someone again. My house is old and can never get clean no matter how much we try. And DH likes to cook so I'm pretty lucky on that end

@ruby696 I forgot to pay my property taxes last month and got nailed with a $400 penalty. Ouch! I was not expecting that. 

@splashmountain years ago I had the student loans Dept call me about making payments and they gave me a phone number to call and I said I was jotting it down. The lady knew damn well I wasn't listening to her so she asked me to repeat the phone number and I totally got caught in the act. Your story reminds me of that, you should have asked her to repeat YH's name 🤣

@Mamaof2beautifulgirls I feel like summer is just starting here!

@manillabar 2 weeks off in the summer sounds perfect!

splashmountain

@40momma I'm glad you have a supportive partner. This journey is so hard. Good luck at your counceling appointment and good luck with whatever route you and your SO decide to take. Hugs

4.GTKY: If you could have a personal chef or a house keeper for free, which would you choose?definitely a housekeeper 

so ladies i didnt didn’t want to ghost.  I’m not going to actively post any more.  I may chime in from time to time as I’m rooting for you all but I think it’s time for me to move forward.   I hope you all get your rainbow and find peace with your circumstances.  I’m actually tearing up a bit writing this and I feel like I’m loosing so many friendships lol I wish you all the best.  I will be lurking to see what is going on with you all 

Mamaof2beautifulgirls

@Mack2342 I am still rooting for you as well!!! Thanks for being such a support!!!

Mamaof2beautifulgirls

@40momma I am glad you adoption meeting went well. Adoption is a beautiful thing and it maybe something we consider in the future. I have went to counseling a few times. I hope to go more once school starts back and I am more in a routine. It did help. 

manillabar

@Mack2342 you will definitely be missed! Wishing you all the best. Hoping you pop in here and there so we know how you're doing as well.

splashmountain

@Mack2342 you will be truly missed around here. I was rooting for you SO hard your last few cycles of trying. Thank you for always being there to answer a question and give support, I really appreciate you and I wish you and your family the best.

ruby696

@Mack2342 I will miss you and hope you do pop in every now and then. I totally understand your decision and respect it. Please know you're not losing any friends. We will be here if you need us. 

Eta: spelling

Thanks ladies!

40momma

@Mack2342 I too just shed a few tears when I read your post. You have been such an amazing support to the board and to myself over the past few years. Thank you for being there. I wish you and your family all the happiness in the world. 

Mack2342

Thank you @40momma.  I look forward to reading your posts.  I’m praying that things work out for you and that you get a take home child whether natural or through adoption.  You have also been a great source of support for me over the past few years.  I truly wish you the best!

@Mack2342 - thank you for all your moving posts. good luck.
 
1.  Introduce yourself (if new): TW live children mentioned.
 Hi I am new. 3 losses in succession. All CPs. I have two healthy children and we are lucky to be fertile. But now trying for a third and I can’t keep the pregnancy. I have been tested for virtually everything and no idea what’s causing it.  

2. Status? TWW. We have decided to try again one more time before pursuing IVF.  Yesterday I got a faint positive pregnancy test at 13DPO. However I have had that before and then I CP so if I stay pregnant for another 7-10 days I’ll be celebrating. I know some women have been on this board for a long time and I hope I can join in this way and be a good member. I really hate the CPs and I just would like a place to talk about it. 

3. R/R: Rave - my husband has been really amazing and we had a lot of fun trying this month. Rant - Well, my doctor’s office hasn’t reached out with my labs so I need to call again. I asked for a copy in the office and they were like no, you need to wait. The doctor was literally just looking at them on his computer. why can’t you just print them and give them to me? but i know HIPPA etc... 

4.GTKY: If you could have a personal chef or a house keeper for free, which would you choose?
definitely a housekeeper!!!! I love cooking and it’s so much more fun when someone else does the dishes. 

Mamaof2beautifulgirls

@happystin8 Welcome!!!! I am so sorry for your losses! I am kinda in the same boat as you. We have been trying for number 3, but lost that pregnancy I’m April. I hope your stay here is short!

I’m just now seeing this. 

@Mack2342, I am going to miss your posts, kindness, and wisdom. Please take care of yourself 💗
