3. R/R: I am still swimming in work and trying to keep my head above water. Nearing a year since my last positive test and feeling a lot of feelings about it. Talked to my gyn and I have an RE appointment for next month. I guess we’ll see what happens...
4.GTKY: What do you enjoy doing over winter? I can’t say I do too many winter activities... but I enjoy a good old fashioned snowball fight... and I enjoy winter adjacent things- hot chocolate, warm sweaters, fires, etc. I’ve always wanted to learn to ice skate, though.
I remember asking a similar question a few months back. But I don’t mind just having the weekly threads for now since there are so few of us.
TTC history in spoiler
Me: 31 Him: 37 Married: Oct 2015 Baby G born June 2017 TTC#2: July 2018 BFP #2: 2/6/19 MC 3/14/19 BFP#3 from IUI #2: 6/30/20 EDD 3/9/21
Status? Tww just poas and negative so expecting af now 3. R/R: I was really hoping its be a positive month and its not 4.GTKY: What do you enjoy doing over winter? I am not a big cold weather person. But hot chocolate, soups, and warm foods are probably my favorite part.
@manillabar I felt the same way at the beginning of the year about being under water. Its a horriblw feeling and every aspect of your life doesnt seem to be going well. Sending you lots of positivity. I have an re appt next month too. I feel like I need a schedule and a timeline, if we don't get pregnant by this month we'll do x if by this month we'll do y. I'm hoping they'll be able to give us that and it starts soon.
I agree about the weekly, thankfully some of the ladies have graduated.
1. MC November 2019 2. Status? WTO 3. R/R: I started my second AF post-MC two days ago. It began several days later than I expected, and should be a relief because it means we can start TTC again this cycle, per doctor's orders. But I feel deeply sad and kind of frozen, and the smallest problems are overwhelming (last night, couldn't find my passport. Need it for an I-9 form. We just moved. It's definitely in a box somewhere. Cried and cried about it instead of just...opening boxes and looking for it). 4. GTKY: I live in a part of Texas that rarely gets snow, so I'm very excited whenever wintry activities are available. I love ice-skating and sledding.
1. Introduce yourself: MMC Oct. '19 followed by a D&C in Dec. '19 2. Status? WTO (CD11) 3. R/R: Rave - Yay for FW! I had almost forgotten about the pre-O confidence boost. My skin is looking good and I'm sleeping well, despite having a chest cold. Rant - TTCAL brain sucks. It feels all-consuming, which is making this whole WTO thing feel like it's taking forever. I just know the TWW will be even worse. 4.GTKY: What do you enjoy doing over winter? I used to be a big-time snowboarder back in the day, and really enjoyed it because it was something physical I could do in the colder months (as a runner, I hate being stuck with going on the treadmill), but now that I'm older, I much like @[email protected] said, like doing winter-adjacent stuff like cozying up by the fireplace and watching "Little Women" while sipping hot cocoa or tea. Or reading a book snuggled up with my doggos.
1. Introduce yourself: MMC Feb 19 (10W), MC June 19 (10W) Both D&C 2. Status? TWW 3. R/R: I have the January Blah's. Don't feel bad and don't feel good - just blah. On a positive, I'm getting hair extensions on Friday which I've always wanted to do. 4.GTKY: What do you enjoy doing over winter? Hiding from the cold. Truly, I don't like winter and I don't like cold weather. We may go for a ski weekend but it remains to be seen - everything we plan on always has a "what if" contingency in case of a BFP.
@katepercy gotta love the emotions that will hit randomly. Yay for being able to ttc this cycle
@ttcbabyodo ttc is really consuming no matter what part of the cycle it is. Especially in the tww, every symptom you think is this it
@laurenmicheley I hope your hair extensions come out awesome. I've been debating getting a perm. I love curly hair and normally have straight or wavy hair. I havent gotten the courage to get one yet
@ble1 There is a process called The American Wave which is a perm that lasts around 3 months. My good friend is thinking about getting it done (which is the only reason why I know anything about it since my hair is wavy-curly). Might be a good option for you since it's not quite so permanent as a perm.
@ttcbabyodo I feel you. TTCAL brain is the worst and every TWW I am convinced I'll get a BFP.
