So how is everyone doing? NBR

BabyVDMBabyVDM member
in TTC after 35

The board has been a little quiet lately.   It seems like everyone is in midst of some kind of 2ww.  Waiting to O, waiting to test, waiting for AF, waiting for results, waitng waiting waiting waiting.  I'm going nuts, with the waiting and looking for to Dr. Google and the www to predict my future.  Which is never very helpful, or a good idea. Following everyone's stories, stalking charts, cheering makes the waiting a little easier.

So, I'm just wondering how everyone is doing?  Or maybe what everyone is doing this weekend?  Or maybe just what everyone is having for dinner? 

Me?  I'm boarderline obsessed with checking the boards for news and looking for distractions. 

Tonight, we are going to the movies.  I want to see The Avengers before it leaves the theatres and eat popcorn for dinner.  Of course, I won't get away with popcorn for dinner so we will probably have grilled salmon and a salad.

This weekend, we continue the home reno's and overwhelming purging and organizing projects we have going on at home.  Unless, it's nice then I'm going to insist we head to the mountains and go for a walk and then have a nice dinner in the little town we got married in.

    I'm in the 2ww and we aren't doing anything exciting this weekend.  I hope to stay home and clean house all day tomorrow, and Sunday we'll do something with my mom and dad for father's day.

    Oh Right... Father's Day!  I totally forgot.  I won't be able to see mine, but if I can get a card out today he might have it on Tuesday.  I'll have to call him.  Hope my folks are home this weekend!

    I'm in the 2ww.

    I am working tomorrow, Sunday, and Monday. So hopefully, my nights will be simply eat dinner and then go to sleep. 

    Today, I've been working on some reorganizing projects (which also requires painting) and some laundry. 

    And I have to bake a cake for tonight's BBQ dinner with some of MH's friends-- he has so few friends that are not also mine, so this is a HUGE deal.

    That's it for me. Not very exciting, really... I hope my three days of work go well/smoothly. Weekends are actually a little nicer to work because there are fewer extraneous people on the unit (no nutritionists, fewer pharmacists, etc. to fight me for a computer)...

    Waiting to O here, then if things go as they have been the last 9+ cycles, will be scheduling another attempt at an HSG.  I opted for no temping this month - just OPKs and CM - it is a nice break.

     We are hoping to go to a big art festival along the lakeshore on Sunday and hit the art museum, too.  I just love that building and any time by (or even better, on) Lake Michigan is a good thing.

    Now that we've scrapped trying on our own, I started taking clomid on Wednesday for our first cycle under the care of an RE. I have an u/s scheduled for Thursday and hope to trigger that day or the next, then B2B IUIs.

    I started my wkd early today and went to lunch and got a pedicure with a friend. We have a get together at a friend's on Saturday...that's about it for us.

    I finally got to CD1 after my very strange non-ovulatory cycle.  I did my baseline appointment this morning and she said everything looks great.  We'll start with 7.5 mg of Femara on Sunday and monitor me for the IUI.  We may add a trigger, but we'll play that by ear at the monitoring appointment.  TTC is always about waiting....

    Tonight, we are going to see Cirque de Soleil's Michael Jackson show.  I won tickets to it over a year ago.  I'm very excited - we're on the second row.  It should be fantastic.

    My parents have been here for over a week and will leave in a few more days.  It's nice to see them, but I'm ready to have a house to myself.  Unfortunately, between them and step daughter's summer visit, I won't have an off weekend until August.  I think we'll probably spend the weekend running errands and various projects.  I am planning to sit and knit for a while.  Just relax and stay cool.

    That's funny, I just had Lunch with DH and he asked me if I would make a Pumpkin Jelly roll cake for his pals at work.  Apparently, he's been bragging!  so NOW I have to make this cake on Sunday.  Ofcourse, I highly suspect he's just going to hoard it in his office and eat himself.  lol

    I'm so jealous that you're by the lake.  I miss them so much.  The water, the huge water and the wind and the smells and the water and the boats and the water, and the waves and the water.  I'm living in a place where the only lakes for  miles and miles are man made and the only natural bodies of water are 2 muddy brown rivers. 

    Ah well, we have mountains, and lots and lots of grass.  ugh!

    Good luck with the O this month!

    Oh Cirque du Soleil - how fantastic.  I think you win the prize for most exciting plans.

     I live so far away from my family that I don't get many visitors, but I totally get what you are saying.  Fish and visitors stink after 2 weeks (or well maybe 10 days.... lol)

    Wish I had fun plans for the weekend but will be spending most of it helping my Mom with my Grandpa's estate sale.  He passed away on April 23rd so it's been an emotional few months. 

    TTC has actually been a nice distraction and it looks like I actually ovulated this month so I'm officially in my first charted cycle 2ww.  Don't have the highest of hopes because our BDing plans didn't work out as we hoped this month but there's still a chance.  

    Me 39 & suspected PCOS, DH 42. Went off BCP when we got married in 11/11, seriously TTC since 3/12.  Six cycles of clomid = BFNs.  Suspected endometriosis & HSG showed both tubes blocked.  Sept 2013 IVF 5D transfer of two perfect embryos = BFN.  Started acupuncture and taking time off to drop some pounds & get healthier before FET in April 2014.

    I've been quiet too...waiting for my IVF cycle to start.  Baseline is on the 27th so right now, I'm on BCP until then.  I'm nervous.  I'm pretty sure this will be my only attempt at IVF.  Hopefully, we'll have lots of eggs and embryos to spare.  I've been down about things lately.  Woke up this morning just feeling down and had tears in my eyes.  I just don't know if I'm feeling all that positive about being successful in having my own children and I really don't know what it's going to do to me if we can't.  

    I've been working a lot this month.  Signed up for many more hours just to make up some money for the upcoming IVF.  My DH's son is here with us for the summer. It's the first summer after a very recent custody change and his mom just moved away to a different state.  We are on day 3 after her move and so far SS (stepson, 4 years old) is taking it in stride.  But, I'm sure there will be difficult days ahead.  I feel bad for DH in that after the summer he will not see his son until the holidays.  I have a nice father's day scheduled for them.  A surprise helicopter tour and dinner planned.  I'm really happy for DH that he gets to enjoy the love of his own child.  Honestly, sometimes it's painful for me to watch because I feel that pang and emptiness inside wanting my own.  However, I try and make the most of it.  

    DH got a job offer here, which for the last year we didn't think was going to happen.  So, we thought that we might also be moving.  However, now that we know that we are staying put, I'm cautiously looking for homes and considering buying in the next year if we can afford it.  That's keeping me busy on the internet searching for places.

    There are SO many movies out right now, it's hard to decide which one to see! We did go catch Rock of Ages last nite. SO cheesy, but we loved it and I can't wait until it's a rental. I want to throw a party and make it into a drinking game. :)

    Today, it was GORGEOUS- we finished sprucing up the outside of our home/ went to the farmer's market. Then grilling kebabs and going to the driving range. Home for a movie.

    Tomorrow- painting! I just got a special brush yest, so I can move forward on a painting I've been itching to finish. :)

    Dinner tonite- chicken kebabs w/a sambal olek/garlicky marinade, quinoa, zucchini & asparagus crudi. Prob Sweet Frogs for dessert. I'm starting to develop a real problem craving SF that may need an intervention in the near future. :) LOVE grilled salmon btw.
