demimondaine

Well, I go here now!

Ages (you and SO): 39/38 tomorrow!

How many months have you been TTC?: Well the waiting felt like forever! I found out March 18 that I had polyps and needed a d&c - then the world fell apart and I didn't get in until the end of September! December was the first month really trying, and I had a chemical that I'm still going through. 

What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?: The usual, although I cannot for the life of me log into FF and I think I will need to re-register. I have an appt with my endocrinologist on Wednesday to see if there is anything I should be trying. 

Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) I have a 3.5 yo and work part time as a historian.

@demimondaine Welcome to the community! Happy to have you here, but - as always - I hope your stay here is short. I'm sorry about the CP; hopefully you can restart your efforts soon. What are you seeing an endocrinologist for? 

demimondaine

@acleverusername Thanks! I discovered during the 10 months it took ttc my son that I had hashimoto's - so I see her for that ever since. She is an awesome doctor (and I have horrible experiences with doctors!) but now she is moving  So I want to get her take on this situation before she leaves. She is also an RE. I also recently had a positive ANA test but I'm still waiting the 4-5 months it takes to get in with a rheumatologist around here.

@demimondaine I am sorry for your loss and the challenges you have encountered.  I hope you are able to get helpful  information from the endocrinologist appointment.

acleverusername

@demimondaine I have Hashimoto’s too, that was diagnosed mid-last year. Where are you based?

demimondaine

@acleverusername I'm in upstate NY. BTW I was not diagnosed in time to ttc, so that was not a help! My bff lives in Brooklyn and thinks I should go after some NYC doctors but ugh that commute!

@demimondaine welcome! Hopefully your stay here is short and sweet.

Ages (you and SO): 37 as of last week/40

How many months have you been TTC?: 4

What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?: charting temp and tracking ovulation. The regular old "do the do when it needs to get done " lol Also taking myoinositol supplement.

Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) My bf had a vasectomy reversal back in September and i had excision surgery for endo last summer. We have been TTC since October. He has 2 teen boys, 13 and 16, and I have no children, praying for a baby girl.

@latrice1784 Welcome! Glad you were able to make your way over here to intro. It sounds like you & your BF both have already done quite a bit to set yourselves up for success with TTC. Hopefully you will find this a very supportive place while on the journey. 

@demimondaine Welcome, and I’m sorry for your loss. Good luck with your appointment at the endo! ETA: You may find this thread link helpful as well, based on the Hashimoto’s and ANA positive: https://forums.thebump.com/discussion/12748971/pcos-mthfr-blood-disorders-other-challenges#latest

@latrice @demimondaineWelcome! 

demimondaine

@latrice1784 That reminds me that my endo was discussing my libido this morning and she said "well I guess that's not a problem..." I was like, are you kidding? I do it when I have to 

demimondaine

@keikilove Thanks! Now I remember that I've had a 23andme kit sitting on my shelf for over 3 years 

gingermama29

I've been gone less than a month so I don't know the protocol, but I figured I'd just do another intro. Hi ladies. Looks like I'm back.

Ages (you and SO): 31 (tomorrow) and 34

How many months have you been TTC?: 18

What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?:
**TW** 

I'm currently having a miscarriage so no idea what the plan will be. I'm thinking I'll likely be doing Letrozole & TI again since that's what I did to get KU last cycle.

Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.)  
I have a DD who will be 3 next month, 3 cats, and DH of course. I'm a music teacher and like baking and doing crafty things.

@gingermama29 I am so sorry! 

I was in your bmb before my CP/MC. I hope this is a short stay for you! ❤️

sienna221

@gingermama29 so sorry to see you back here. 

Reintroducing myself. I was active back in July/August and since October have been active in the TTCAL threads. But since I haven’t participated in the dailies in while, figured I should post here first as I plan to be participating in the dailies again.  

Ages (you and SO): 33 (me) & 31 

How many months have you been TTC?: Since July ‘20 I guess is the right answer. Although there hasn’t been many cycles since then to actually “TTC”

What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?:  WFAF right now. Will be using OPKs after AF returns. 

*TW PG & Loss Mentioned*

I was fortunate enough to get pregnant on my second cycle trying (first cycle using OPKs). I found out at my 12 week appointment I had a MMC. Long story of confusing events after that that I won’t bore you with since I’ve exhausted everyone in the TTCAL thread with it and questions about it😂, but basically I have still not got my period back since the miscarriage. OPKs I think showed I ovulated last week and so hoping AF finally returns next week. 

Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.)  No kids. But a dog and a cat! Love outdoor stuff...skiing, equestrian activities. I work in marketing.

@sienna221 I'm sorry to see you back here.  Hopefully AF comes soon and that you're out of here as quickly this time as last time.

@gingermama29 & @sienna221 very sorry for your respective losses and my heart hurts to see you back here
