Where are you in your TTCAL journey?

I am not technically on the TTCAL journey yet but we have decided to try for our rainbow starting in April. I am obviously scared but I am trying to mentally prepare myself as much as possible (if that's possible). I started to take my prenatal vitamins again which was difficult and a sad reminder but I am trying to get healthy physically too. 

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming?

No.

QOTW: What has been the hardest part about TTCAL for you?

I think pulling the trigger to proceed with trying will be hard. In April, tt will be about 7 months since we lost our daughter so I am glad that we gave ourselves the time that we need but I am anxious and scared obviously. 

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?

My baby girl and the fact that we shouldn't even be thinking of trying again because she should be here with us. It makes me sad and angry.  I am thinking that making another appointment with my therapist will be a good idea before we begin again.

Where are you in your TTCAL journey?

Cycle 4 CD1 

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming?

No

QOTW: What has been the hardest part about TTCAL for you?

Having no control.  I just want this so badly and every month the want gets worse and worse.  It's also hard for me to see other women (not loss moms) get pregnant and have babies, especially more than one.

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?

Corbin a lot.  I can't even wrap my head around how big he would be now but I know he'd be at that super fun age and I don't get to experience that and it makes my heart hurt.

Where are you in your TTCAL journey?

 Month 5 of trying.

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming?

Nope.

QOTW: What has been the hardest part about TTCAL for you?

The head games your body plays on you. And seeing the several bfn's and feeling like a failure once again. Going from not having problems like this to BAM! can't carry your baby to term and cannot for the life of me get pg. Just a big disappointment I am.

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?

How much I want to be pg! So, so, so much.

Consultation with an RE tomorrow

QOTW: What has been the hardest part about TTCAL for you? 

I have always wanted to be a mom. It took longer than we expected (and meds) for me to get pregnant with Julian, and then we lost him, and to again have trouble TTC just feels like salt in our wounds.

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?

Missing Julian, and hoping for a BFP (I'm only 9 DPO so I won't test until Monday)

Hello Ladies, I hope your all doing ok.  

Where are you in your TTCAL journey? 

I am on cycle 2 day 18

I usually ovulate on day 20. I was all ready to ovulate this month on day 20, and I started using opks on wednesday. Thank God I did because I ovulated early this month. Someone sent me an ovulation watch, I thought it was a big sham. I have not started temping yet as I wanted to ease in to TTC. The watch told me I was getting ready to O, I assumed it was wrong. Sure enough it was right. 

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming? 

No appointments, I do need to schedule a therapy session soon though. 

QOTW: What has been the hardest part about TTCAL for you? 

Just how much stronger the need and desire to be pregnant is now. Before it was so relaxed and if it took a few months I would have been fine. Now, I want it so much more. 

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?

Nothing new really just still trying to survive and cope without Hunter. I have been crying more lately. I don't cry around people but I do think I am depressed. These past few weeks I have no worked out at all and have not been at strict with my diet. I have taken the dog for some walks outside but I have not walked on the treadmill. This week is school vacation and I am a teacher so I hope to walk on the treadmill every morning.
