How are things going? What is something that you are struggling with and/or what is going well? I'm generally OK. Work's been really crazy and I'm starting to think about looking for a new job (had 2 calls with recruiters yesterday). I"m definitely very passively looking, and would only consider if an amazing opportunity came up. We shall see. But as a byproduct, the workload is helping me keep my mind off of TTC. 

Any testing coming up/any recent results? I did my DUTCH test on Friday/Saturday so will be waiting for those results to come back, although it'll take 3-4 weeks. I also have a bone marrow biopsy this week for exploration of cause of chronically low platelets. And then I have an appointment with Reproductive Immunologist next week to establish that relationship. So... a lot going on!

In the meanwhile, I've been working on a fertility altar and it's coming together really nicely. I'm considering adding a photo of the ultrasound from my last pregnancy. Not sure about it yet though. 

Questions? Not really. 

GTKY: What is your favorite clean joke? Why didn't the skeleton go to the dance? He had no body to go with. (NOTE: I'm specialize in non-clean jokes.)

@acleverusername I can relate to work being crazy.  My job is especially busy this time of year but in general lately my plate has been getting more and more full.  My boss treats me amazing so I find it hard to complain.  My husband often tells me I need to speak up about being overwhelmed much of the time. 

Introduce yourself and anything you think is important: number of loss(es), when you had the loss(es), diagnosis/conditions surrounding loss, etc. 2 MMC, once with a surprise pregnancy in March 2021 and, more recently, while trying in June 2022. Was told I needed to wait for a third loss for any testing. Hopefully that never happens.

How are things going? What is something that you are struggling with and/or what is going well? I am just really hoping my cycles even out now.  I started BBT today to keep a closer eye on it. 

Any testing coming up/any recent results? Nope. 

Questions? Nope

GTKY: What is your favorite clean joke? Why did the ghost go to the bar?  For Boos! (I don't have many haha)

@acleverusername I'm glad you're keeping busy and have so many steps forward coming up for your TTC journey!

@ReadyForaB I hope you never have to worry about that testing. Fingers crossed your cycle gets back on track quickly!

Introduce yourself and anything you think is important: number of loss(es), when you had the loss(es), diagnosis/conditions surrounding loss, etc. MC at 8 weeks in Aug. 2021, CP in Dec. 2021

How are things going? What is something that you are struggling with and/or what is going well? I started a new job this week that is keeping me occupied mentally. My MC date is coming up and I just keep wondering if I am lucky enough to get pregnant whether I can ever feel excited again.

Any testing coming up/any recent results? No, this is a "normal" re-try of the last clomid cycle. If this fails, then we begin to consider IUI. 

Questions? Not today

GTKY: What is your favorite clean joke? What bugs will you find on the moon? Lunar-tics!
