Re: TTCAL w/o 9.27
Introduce yourself and anything you think is important: number of loss(es), when you had the loss(es), diagnosis/conditions surrounding loss, etc. MC @ 8 weeks in Aug. 2021
Status: WTO
How are things going? What is something that you are struggling with and/or what is going well? I was already a downer in WTO so I won’t get into it too much again, but I didn’t have a great weekend. MH and I have different ideas about how to deal with some personal problems, and it might affect our TTC future. That devastates me. Trying hard to be patient and practical as we make some big decisions in the next few days.
Any testing coming up/any recent results? Nope! My body finally seems to be cooperating which is a huge relief.
Questions? None today
GTKY: when's the last time you jumped/played in a pile of leaves? Um, last fall.
@anniemarie887 Yay for being off the bench!
Introduce yourself and anything you think is important: number of loss(es), when you had the loss(es), diagnosis/conditions surrounding loss, etc.
2 losses, 1st MMC 1/2019 @ 9 weeks, 2nd coronal ectopic that ruptured @8 weeks1/2021
Status: Finally off of the bench so WTO
How are things going? What is something that you are struggling with and/or what is going well?
Things are kind of meh, waiting on AF to start a new cycle, I’m very new to the whole world of planned conception. I’m not sure where to begin and everything feels overwhelming even though I have been lurking for a while. It’s one thing to lurk another to participate and start doing all the things.
Any testing coming up/any recent results?
Going to call my OBGYN 10/1 since that’s when Af should show up and see if she still wants to refere me to MFM.
Questions? None
GTKY: when's the last time you jumped/played in a pile of leaves? It’s been a while since I “jumped” into one, but last year I kicked through one and I will jump on my Nugget if that counts?
@not_another_knottie a good start is OPKs since they are easy to use. Temping is also easy but it's ideal to temp at the same time every morning and that can be difficult for some people (because of kids, pets, work schedule). Don't be afraid to ask questions if you're confused. It can take time to get a handle on things! What is this Nugget thing you speak of?

Introduce yourself and anything you think is important: number of loss(es), when you had the loss(es), diagnosis/conditions surrounding loss, etc.: First time joining in here. I won't go into too much detail since I recently posted in the intro thread. MMC around 8 weeks in March 2019, and my daughter born in February of this year passed away in June. She had a rare genetic difference that caused severe medical complications. I miss her every day.

@not_another_knottie I agree that OPKs are a great place to start. I have pretty regular cycles (at least I did before MC, we’ll see now), so it wasn’t too hard for me to approximate ovulation without temping. I think temping is one of those things that you should do if it makes you feel better and don’t do it if it stresses you out.
@inthewoods23 A weekend at home alone sounds lovely! Just the right amount of time to miss him, but hopefully not get too lonely.
@annanbby What you’ve shared of your journey is just heartbreaking. I hope you find this community welcoming and helpful.
@abjm0325 DH got mad at me when I said I would keep watching Hell's Kitchen 😆. We've been binging that. And heaven forbid I should offer my iPad when he HATES Apple products to watch from the app. I'll have to find something else to do. I plan on getting with my parents on Friday for dinner so I just need to make sure I occupy my time on Saturday. I pick him up at 10am Sunday so hopefully I can wake up early to enjoy the last stillness in the house.

@not_another_knottie i've done OPKs intermittently, i do not have the discipline to temp, if it was going to use that as a marker i would need to get one of the wearable things.
@inthewoods23 i always enjoy some solitude time! do you have any plans while he's gone?
@annanbaby i saw your intro post, i'm sorry that's what has brought you here, but hope you find comfort in this big welcoming group

@abjm0325 I'm sorry you and DH are going though it right now. I hope things only go up from here.
@not_another_knottie Sorry that you are here, but I hope you can find support in this community. Are you talking about the Nugget couch? We have one and love it!
@inthewoods23 Downside, you miss DH while he is away. Upside - you get to spread out in the bed? Watch and eat anything you want? LOL we have to see the good right?
@annanbby I am so sorry for your losses.
