TTC After a Loss

Check in: TLR, lsu, raven etc...

It's early but I am up, and once I go back to work tomorrow I am hoping to continue to do the Check in's in the morning :)

This is a check in for: TLR813, lsuhoneybadger, ravenclaw1, LAMCH1980, lindsayhilleary, LunaBug924, waterfall11, starburst0928, km_md and cntgstrs

 

Hey ladies, this check in is to help us all through the AF/FW/2ww and all the craziness in between.

CD/dpo:

How is everyone doing today?  Any crazy creeping in? Anyone in the FW or 2ww yet?

QOTD: What is your favorite thing to do in the winter? (I am done with NY resolution questions ha) if you live where it is warm is there still something you only do during the winter months.

Quote:  There are only two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as though everything is a miracle.

(sorry I like inspirational quotes)

edit to add quote haha

    How is everyone doing today?  Any crazy creeping in? Anyone in the FW or 2ww yet?

    I'm in my FW, so I should O any day now. I think I've gotten the hang of temping, so I know I haven't missed it yet. Some crazy is creeping in when I check my CM. It has been wonky and is driving me nuts! Last cycle I had constant EWCM, and this cycle I have had none yet! What gives?!?!

    QOTD: What is your favorite thing to do in the winter? (I am done with NY resolution questions ha) if you live where it is warm is there still something you only do during the winter months.

    I live in Minnesota, so you would think I'd love winter activities, but I don't. I do no special winter things. I do enjoy shoveling though!

    I should be in the 2ww, FF just hasn't recognized that yet.  I'm thinking I o'd on Sunday, but it's hard to tell since the majority of my temps are open circles.  I guess that's what happens when you're on vacation for a week and not temping at the right time.  I don't have my hopes up this cycle.  I've been sick the past few days, so DH and I only bd'd once.  I was ok when I got the first +opk, but couldn't do a thing the days after.  

    QOTD: I'm not a winter person.  We've got about a foot and a half of now right now and I'm not happy about it.

    How is everyone doing today?  Any crazy creeping in? Anyone in the FW or 2ww yet?

    I am annoyed that my last 2 temps are open circles because I had to temp late since I hadn't had enough sleep before my usual temp time. That is not the time to have those and I am not sure if it will effect my CHs.

    QOTD: What is your favorite thing to do in the winter? (I am done with NY resolution questions ha) if you live where it is warm is there still something you only do during the winter months.

     We love in NoVa so we have some winter, but not always a lot...if we have much snow it usually comes on this month. My favorite part of winter is any snow usually gets us a day off or a delay (I am a teacher). And since we have no days off until Spring break at the end of March we could use snow days!

    I understand the CM issue...the cycle I was TTA I had it coming out of my ears I had so much, but the last 2 cycles where I have been trying it is almost non existent. I am hoping it is all the BDing that makes it not noticeable. If not I will have to add some sort of CM increasing thing to our next cycle.

    FX that you O very soon! Are you using OPKs?

    I am using OPKs and I think I got a positive one this AM. Waiting to confirm with a digital! We had to use preseed last BD session... Stupid CM!

  • Thanks for running the check-in GRM. 

    I am on CD 16, no sign of O yet. Last cycle I didn't O until CD 26 so it looks like I'm heading towards that again. The one good thing is that at least I didn't start with EWCM at CD12 and have the longest FW ever this time. So that makes me happy. Then we can save all of our BDing for when it counts lol I'm still relatively calm. The new year is bringing a lot of emotions and "should be's" but I'm doing okay.

     QOTD - I'm a bit of a hermit in the winter. I don't like the cold. But I like ice skating and pond hockey (I'm Canadian, it's a rule) and playing with my puppy in the snow. Or if this counts, I enjoy sitting inside with tea and a book and watching the snow fall lol

    It doesn't get that cold here in LA but when it does, I love to get a cup of hot cocoa and sit out on our porch swing wrapped up in a blanket. It's so relaxing!

    FX you can keep the BDing to when it counts and not have a 10+ day FW again! Hoping you O soon! 

    I totally think drinking tea, reading and watching the snow fall sounds amazing!

    I'm hoping I O tomorrow. My CD 12 and 13 temps are actually the exact same as last cycle, which is kinda cool. I like symmetry.

    No crazy for the ravenclaw household. I promised H I'd keep that away from him, and that's going well. We're really happy right now.

    My favorite winter activity is very different than most! I live in Miami, and every week they show a free movie on the exterior of the symphony building on Miami Beach. Miami is amazing in the winter, so I like going there. Tomorrow is SpiderMan!

    How is everyone doing today?  Any crazy creeping in? Anyone in the FW or 2ww yet?

    I am annoyed that my last 2 temps are open circles because I had to temp late since I hadn't had enough sleep before my usual temp time. That is not the time to have those and I am not sure if it will effect my CHs.

    QOTD: What is your favorite thing to do in the winter? (I am done with NY resolution questions ha) if you live where it is warm is there still something you only do during the winter months.

     We love in NoVa so we have some winter, but not always a lot...if we have much snow it usually comes on this month. My favorite part of winter is any snow usually gets us a day off or a delay (I am a teacher). And since we have no days off until Spring break at the end of March we could use snow days!

    I was looking at your chart! Looks better than mine! It's so frustrating to not know 100% if you Oed yet! I bet you are sick of BDing, but feel obligated to continue! 

    can you link your chart :)

    I can try to figure it out. It's absolutely horrid looking. ...probably because I'm not consistant with my timing.

    I should be in the 2ww, FF just hasn't recognized that yet.  I'm thinking I o'd on Sunday, but it's hard to tell since the majority of my temps are open circles.  I guess that's what happens when you're on vacation for a week and not temping at the right time.  I don't have my hopes up this cycle.  I've been sick the past few days, so DH and I only bd'd once.  I was ok when I got the first +opk, but couldn't do a thing the days after.  

    QOTD: I'm not a winter person.  We've got about a foot and a half of now right now and I'm not happy about it.  

    It only takes one time! I hope you are feeling better! It looks like we are in the 2ww together :) GL

    Thanks!  GL to you too!

  • Hi ladies!

    I'm cd 13 and had a opk yesterday but haven't seen a temp shift yet. The crazy hasn't set in yet.

    Winter activities: I like to ice skate. I also am a big fan of a good snow day at home! I love a surprise day off!

    I'm CD 13 I'm hoping I O tomorrow. My CD 12 and 13 temps are actually the exact same as last cycle, which is kinda cool. I like symmetry. No crazy for the ravenclaw household. I promised H I'd keep that away from him, and that's going well. We're really happy right now. My favorite winter activity is very different than most! I live in Miami, and every week they show a free movie on the exterior of the symphony building on Miami Beach. Miami is amazing in the winter, so I like going there. Tomorrow is SpiderMan!

    that sounds great!!

    staying away as in no BDing? 

    Its nice having no crazy...I actually feel very calm this cycle too, did all we could, now its out of my hands...we will see if I still sound that way in a week ha!

    Haha, lets not get crazy. We're BD'ing, I'm just keeping all the FF info away from him

    ok, I was going to say...you know you need that right??!! haha

    CD/dpo: CD 14/possible 1 or 2 dpo

    How is everyone doing today?  Any crazy creeping in? Anyone in the FW or 2ww yet?

    I am annoyed that my last 2 temps are open circles because I had to temp late since I hadn't had enough sleep before my usual temp time. That is not the time to have those and I am not sure if it will effect my CHs.

    QOTD: What is your favorite thing to do in the winter? (I am done with NY resolution questions ha) if you live where it is warm is there still something you only do during the winter months.

     We love in NoVa so we have some winter, but not always a lot...if we have much snow it usually comes on this month. My favorite part of winter is any snow usually gets us a day off or a delay (I am a teacher). And since we have no days off until Spring break at the end of March we could use snow days!

    I was looking at your chart! Looks better than mine! It's so frustrating to not know 100% if you Oed yet! I bet you are sick of BDing, but feel obligated to continue! 

    can you link your chart :)

    I can try to figure it out. It's absolutely horrid looking. ...probably because I'm not consistant with my timing.

    Don't worry, its just nice to have other charts to look at haha

    Thanks for the check-in GRM!!

    CD14 

    I should be in the 2ww, FF just hasn't recognized that yet.  I'm thinking I o'd on Sunday, but it's hard to tell since the majority of my temps are open circles.  I guess that's what happens when you're on vacation for a week and not temping at the right time.  I don't have my hopes up this cycle.  I've been sick the past few days, so DH and I only bd'd once.  I was ok when I got the first +opk, but couldn't do a thing the days after.  

    QOTD: I'm not a winter person.  We've got about a foot and a half of now right now and I'm not happy about it.  

    It only takes one time! I hope you are feeling better! It looks like we are in the 2ww together :) GL

    Thanks!  GL to you too!  

    PS.... how have we not been cycle buddies before?  I stalked your charts, and you and I have almost identical cycle lengths and o dates! 

    I think we sort of were last month, but we didn't really have a check in. Hopefully we will graduate together this month!!!!

    Yeah for +opk, hopefully those ch and temp shift will come soon :).

    I am not sure my temp shift is reliable since they are both open circles

  • Happy New Year, everyone!  

     CD/dpo: CD14

    How is everyone doing today?  Any crazy creeping in? Anyone in the FW or 2ww yet?  

    Inspired by you, GRM, DH and I are BDing every night.  Not temping yet and his agreeing to this may be his way of getting me not to chart next cycle either.  Feeling ok about things right now but will be really bummed if I don't get a BFP

    QOTD: What is your favorite thing to do in the winter? (I am done with NY resolution questions ha) if you live where it is warm is there still something you only do during the winter months.

    It doesn't usually get too cold where we live in CA.  I do enjoy fires in the fireplace and making lots of soup/chili/comfort foods in winter.

    Happy New Year! 

    I'm on CD 15 and the crazy has definitely crept in.  This is my first full month of charting, so I think I may have O'ed, but I know it takes a couple days for FF to put it on your chart, right?  I'll take another OPK in a couple hours and check my CM and update my chart then.  

    One of my favorite things to do in the winter is run!  I live in Houston so IMHO it is way too hot to run most of the year.  I'll try and get a few miles in today since it's in the 50s.

    Love the quote, and thank you again for running the check in! 

    looks like a possible O  yesterday on Day 14. FX those CH come in a few days!!!

    are you using OPKs or anything? I never charted before my loss, and last month I felt crazy charting, but this being my third full month of charting I feel better. I have to say that I will be not setting my alarm after the CHs come. That really stressed me out during my 2ww last month.

     I am glad I have inspired you and DH to do the nightly BD session. Today we *might* then we will take a few days off haha!

    FX our hard work pays off :)

  • Hi GRM, and other CBs! I'm going to appologize, because this post may get a little long. I've been waiting for this check in because I have a lot on my mind, so here goes... 

    CD/dpo: CD14, haven't O'd yet

    How is everyone doing today? Any crazy creeping in? Anyone in the FW or 2ww yet?

    Well, I think I'm out this cycle. Its CD 14, and I'm STILL spotting. This cycle has been really weird and I can't figure out what happened. My period started right on time, but with reall bad cramps, HEAVY bleeding, and lots of clots for the first 3 days. This is my 3rd post-m/c cycle, and I thought everything was pretty much back to normal (or at least my "new normal"). On top of that, I've had to discard my temps for the past 3 days due to running a fever, so my chart is so flucked up right now I have no clue what's going on.

    DH and I were talking yesterday, and he basically said outloud what I've been thinking for the past week: "do you think this may be a cp?". I keep wracking my brain to figure it out. We were TTA last month, so we did not BD at all during my FW, and any other time, DH pulled out (not the best method, I admit) However, since last month was my first cycle charting, so maybe I flucked up. I wish I peed on something during the first few days of AF, because that would be the only way for me to know what was going on. Now I'm only left wondering and worrying. And I'm sick with what I'm pretty sure is the flu at this point. So, after a long conversation with DH, we think the responsible thing to do is wait until my next cycle before TTC. I'm really disappointed, especially since this was out first cycle TTCAL and I was soooo excited. I realize in the grand scheme of things that another month isn't a long time to wait, and that a lot of women here have had to wait much longer, but this just feels like an eternity.

    All that being said, yea....the crazy has definitely creeped in and completely taken over!

    QOTD: We definitely have a full blown winter where I live, and I DO NOT like the cold, nor am I an "outdoorsy girl" by any means. So my favorite thing to do in winter is sit in front of our woodburning stove, curled up with my furbabies or DH, watching a movie or reading a book.

    Thanks for listening, and GL to everyone in the 2WW! I'm jealous, but wish you all the best!

    Luna, I am so sorry...I wish we could tell you it was a CP or not, but if your chart is right for Nov as far as BDing you were no where near your FW. Could you call your doctor? They might be able to do a blood test, or at least give you some insight. I would add OPKs if you haven't for the next cycle. That might also give you some insight. I am a big believer in them and managed to have success twice with only those.

    I would just continue with the NPNT method for this month, which is a little better than avoiding all together.

    I am sorry this cycle doesn't seem to be working out, but you are right, one more month in the grand scheme of things isn't long. Would you like to continue with our check in for the month? I will leave it up to you. I would love to have you, but if you think it will be worse I can take you off.

    FX you get some answers

  • cd/dpo: cd15 (not exactly sure when i'm going to O)

     Not really crazy yet, but I'm not really going to stress about this cycle. Since this is only my 2nd cycle post loss and the fact that DH leaves tomorrow to finish out his training this month just doesn't look good. I didnt O until cd23 last cycle so I guess we will see what happens. 

     My favorite activity in the winter is to curl up with a good book and a blanket. I could spend the day just doing that.

    Thanks GRM, I realize that no one will be able to tell me what happened, but thank you for the support. I do plan to call my doctor, but he's only in the office I visit (and where my chart is) on Mondays, so I won't get any answers until next week, if there even are any answers to be had. As far as the check in, I'll hang around. I genuinely hope that all of you move on the PGAL after this cycle, but if not, then at least I'll know who I can hang out with next month.

    Luna I have everything crossed that you might get some sort of answers, I can only imagine that being in limbo is so hard. FX that you are just having some sort of odd cycle and you O soon and can get your rainbow. I would love for us all to move over this month! Glad you will be hanging around!

    I tried to link my chart, but to be honest, I don't know my password and it is taking forever to send me a new password! &nbsp;I just use the app on my ipad so I don't need a password!

    Maybe by the next check-in I'll have it!&nbsp;

    are you under starburst0928...let me see if I can find you so I can friend you :)

    Happy New Year, everyone! &nbsp;

    &nbsp;CD/dpo:&nbsp;CD14

    How is everyone doing today?&nbsp; Any crazy creeping in? Anyone in the FW or 2ww yet? &nbsp;

    Inspired by you, GRM, DH and I are BDing every night. &nbsp;Not temping yet and his agreeing to this may be his way of getting me not to chart next cycle either. &nbsp;Feeling ok about things right now but will be really bummed if I don't get a BFP

    QOTD: What is your favorite thing to do in the winter? (I am done with NY resolution questions ha) if you live where it is warm is there still something you only do during the winter months.

    It doesn't usually get too cold where we live in CA. &nbsp;I do enjoy fires in the fireplace and making lots of soup/chili/comfort foods in winter. &nbsp;

    &nbsp;

    are you using OPKs or anything? I never charted before my loss, and last month I felt crazy charting, but this being my third full month of charting I feel better. I have to say that I will be not setting my alarm after the CHs come. That really stressed me out during my 2ww last month.

    &nbsp;I am glad I have inspired you and DH to do the nightly BD session. Today we *might* then we will take a few days off haha!

    FX our hard work pays off :)


    Not using opks either. First pregnancy took six months but I was coming of birth control. Second only took two months. If it doesn't happen this month3rd since miscarriage I will probably get opks. All I have used thus far is an app to track my period and it predicts approximate fw. Not great, but worked twice. I am a but crampy today so think I could be ovulating.
