A lot. 

Status: WFAF, then hopefully IVF soon

How are things going? What is something that you are struggling with and/or what is going well? I am so frustrated.  I was diagnosed with Protein C and S deficiency that definitely explain my recurrent losses.  Hematologist came up with a plan, I liked the plan, the RE agreed with the plan.  Rerun blood work and my protein C came back completely NORMAL.  WHY?!  All the blood work isn't back yet but I really thought I had an answer and now I don't know. 

Any testing coming up/any recent results?  Recent results say I am normal.

Questions? No, I kind of hope this is just one of those situations where blood levels can fluctuate and I still have an answer. 

GTKY: What's your favorite go-to weekday meal you have on the regular?  Spaghetti, tacos, nachos, lots of random things.

@mambo5-2 That is so frustrating. I hope you get some answers really soon.

Status: In the middle of my second cycle on the bench after our recent loss. Pleased as punch that my body ovulated. 

How are things going? What is something that you are struggling with and/or what is going well? Still in a holding pattern with my husband on trying again. I’m not pushing at all, but I am starting to feel like I might be ready soon, so will probably initiate a follow up conversation at the end of this cycle. 

GTKY: What's your favorite go-to weekday meal you have on the regular? Black bean tacos, sometimes twice a week.

@mambo5-2 I'm so sorry your diagnosis disappeared. I completely know how you feel, that having some sort of answer could help create some kind of plan for the future. Having no answers if frustrating as fuck.

@maggiemadeit I hope the conversation with your H goes well.

How are things going? What is something that you are struggling with and/or what is going well? Our first real cycle after our loss in January. My first ovulation since then, and I'm bummed it's not a successful cycle.

Any testing coming up/any recent results? I don't think any testing, but I reached out to my RE about throwing in Clomid for a few more TI cycles before we jump back into IUI.

Questions? 

GTKY: What's your favorite go-to weekday meal you have on the regular? we have tacos almost every tuesday, chicken drummies are a hit, pizza every friday.

MMC March 2021.  Found out at 8 weeks baby stopped growing just over 6. 

Status: Second cycle TTC this go around. 

How are things going? What is something that you are struggling with and/or what is going well?  Just excited to be back in the saddle. 

Any testing coming up/any recent results? Nope.  CD1 today soooo... ughh. 

Questions? Nope. 

GTKY: What's your favorite go-to weekday meal you have on the regular? I made sheet pan meals quite often.  Chicken thighs with veggies.  I also make shrimp ceaser salad at least once a week.  And I usually do something in the crock pot on the weekend that I can bring for lunches throughout the week.  This week was chicken chili. My husband works nights so I am not usually cooking a lot.

@mambo5-2 Ugh, I am sorry to hear that what you thought was a final dx is gone. That is super frustrating!
@maggiemadeit I hope the conversation with DH goes well! 
@bearmomma1 You'll have to let us know what your RE has to say. I hope you get the news you want.
@ReadyForaB We love the crockpot too, especially for weekly meals.

How are things going? What is something that you are struggling with and/or what is going well? Things are going well! Work has been super busy, so just chugging along. DH fell this weekend and got pretty bruised up, so I am hoping that it eases up/goes away soon. We DTD last night and it was rough because I could just tell he was in pain so when FW happens, I don't want to have to worry about hurting him worse. 

Any testing coming up/any recent results? Nope, don't see the OB again for about 2 weeks

Questions? Not at the moment

GTKY: What's your favorite go-to weekday meal you have on the regular? I'm very weird and most nights I will make a noodle packet (think knorr sides) and just eat that for dinner lol. DH is the cook in our house, so I mostly just eat whatever he felt like making each week.
