Status: Just getting over my first and only miscarriage. It will be two weeks Saturday. My doctor gave me the okay to TTC immediately. 

How are things going? What is something that you are struggling with and/or what is going well? I finally got a COVID vaccine appointment scheduled for Monday.  I am struggling with weather to sit this cycle out and TTA or not. 

Any testing coming up/any recent results? nope.

Questions? For those of you who have miscarried, how long did it take to get a period? (I know everyone is different, just curious).

GTKY: if opposites attract, what makes you and YH opposites and/or complementary to each other? He is a night owl and I am an early bird.  There are days he is coming to bed and I am just waking up!  I work days and he works nights, so he always argues that is why he is such a night owl.

Status: WTO

How are things going? What is something that you are struggling with and/or what is going well? I'm at the point in my cycle where I'm easily bitter and just mad at everyone else who gets to move on with their lives having kids and just 😤 I have a lot going through my head lately and it just puts me in a bum mood

Any testing coming up/any recent results? Not going to start OPKs until next week

Questions? Mmm no

GTKY: if opposites attract, what makes you and YH opposites and/or complementary to each other? We have a lot of complementary tastes when it comes to food. DH doesn't care for pickles and loves tomato. Meanwhile I'll take pickles any chance I get and hate tomatoes on anything. Perfect match. Additionally for chicken wings he prefers the drumstick type and I prefer the flat type so that makes splitting up chicken wings super easy.

@ReadyForaB from MC to CD1 for me was 30 or 31 days. My cycle was right back to normal. We're the same being night owls/early birds. DH is always up late while I enjoy waking up early (but not too early haha).

@inthewoods23 I get being in a bum mood. It has been a little weird for me lately being around my pregnant friends after my MMC (and I have several pregnant friends/friends with newborns).  I try not to let it get in the way of friendships and such.  It is a little hard sometimes though. But I keep telling myself, there is not a certain amount of babies to go around and they are not the reason for what happened, don't push them away. (Not insinuating you do this at all I'm just rambling I guess.)  Also, I only eat flats.  It annoys my husband but he sticks to the drumstick haha!

@ReadyForaB yeah my bum mood comes and goes. It's a pattern I started noticing maybe July-ish of last year? DH and I would get into these stupid arguments some time before or right at the start of FW. I went on an antidepressant since then which has helped, but hormones are hormones lol. Maybe some of it is stress too, but it is really hard not to feel bummed out when you're feeling left behind in the TTC camp.

1st pregnancy was CP, March '21.

Status: I'm waiting for AF to show up, since the doctor told me to wait one cycle before trying again. I've been testing with CBADs, and I've been at high fertility for 6 days, so waiting for the peak. 

How are things going? What is something that you are struggling with and/or what is going well? It's frustrating to me have to wait, but I will listen to the doctor. DH and I rented a cottage in the woods for a few days and it seems like a perfect babymaking place...oh well. 

Any testing coming up/any recent results? No, just WTO so I can calculate how long it took me to go from O to AF. 

Questions? Not right now.

GTKY: if opposites attract, what makes you and YH opposites and/or complementary to each other? We are very alike in a lot of ways, having been brought up in the same milieu and we have similar interests/neuroses/quirks. And while we are both overthinkers, we overthink very different things - so when I spiral, he calms me down. And vice versa.
