Welcome to TTCAL CheckIn!

Re: TTCAL Checkin
Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming? No, but I did get a new PCP who I found out is a midwife, and has worked with my OB! She's awesome and supportive. I am thinking of starting metformin. She reccomended it, and i've tried it before but it hurt my stomach. Willing to try again though if it will help.
QOTW: Has your loss changed the number of children you want to have? This one's hard because I always saw myself with 3. Now, I've had 1 but she's not here. I'll probably have 3 more.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? I want to get KU. It's coming up to a year when I found out I was pregnant with Ana. I really wanted to be KU before then, but that's not going to happen. Hoping this cycle is it.

Lots and lots of luck Shandorfml! I hope this cycle is the cycle for you.
Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming? Just a med check in a few weeks with my RE
QOTW: Has your loss changed the number of children you want to have? Not really. MH and I are both 34, so when we were pregnant with Kayla (and honestly before, given how long this is all taking) I already thought maybe we'd be one and done. Since our loss, all that's on my mind is having at least one rainbow baby. I just want a baby in my arms. Plus I am really not sure if I can go through all of this again once our rainbow is here. I'm very nervous about keeping my sanity through another pregnancy, so after that, I'm not sure if I can go through that again. But I am open to seeing how we feel down the road about a third.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? I am dying to know if I actually Od. I got pos OPKs, O pain and a temp spike, but due to temps afterward, I've yet to get CHs. I am crossing my fingers that I am pregnant and I plan on testing on Friday...but I am also anxious because I don't even know for certain that I Od.

I haven't done the TTCAL check in yet, since I technically TTA until we get some more info from testing, but I really like the QOTW.
Where are you in your TTCAL journey? I am on CD 9, my first post-loss AF wrapped up friday night. It was definitely a wonky AF, but I am glad it came (even more glad it left) It makes me feel like I am one step closer to being off the bench and TTC our rainbow baby.
Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming? I have a another follow up appt with OB on Wednesday. I plan to have some more questions regarding what needs to be done moving forward.
QOTW: Has your loss changed the number of children you want to have? I always said I wanted 3, DH felt 2 was a good number. Depending on what happens moving forward in terms of TTC, I think we both would like to have 2 more children. Though, I know if/when I am pregnant again, I will be a nervous wreck the whole time, so I guess we will have to see what comes.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? Mostly I am thinking about my EDD tomorrow.
Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming?
No, but I had my hsg done last week and everything looked fine, as I expected. I was also told my fsh is 15! So, that's kinda high. The reason I keep having miscarriages is most likely do to poor egg quality. This is pretty upsetting. I don't dont really know what the chances of me having a healthy pregnancy are at this point, but I'm just going to keep trying and maybe one of these times I'll get a good egg.
QOTW: Has your loss changed the number of children you want to have?
I know I always wanted to have a few kids, I didn't really have a number in mind. But now, I just want to have one living child.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?
The not so great news from my Dr. trying to think positive, but it is so hard. I can't get the thoughts of loss out of my head. It's all I know.
Where are you in your TTCAL journey? Cycle 2, CD 14, just waiting to O
Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming? Nope. My ob said he wanted to see me in July for my annual exam, so I should probably call to schedule something.
QOTW: Has your loss changed the number of children you want to have? Kind of. I've always wanted 3 kids, DH wanted to be one and done (after DD1). Now I still want to have another, but I'm not sure if I want another after that. DH actually came around and now wants to try, so I guess we're meeting in the middle.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? Thinking about an acquaintance who lost a teenage child unexpectedly. My heart breaks for her and I just think it is so unfair that any mother ever has to lose a child. There's a small part of me that is so afraid of losing my DD or any other future kids, and if I really think about it, the fear consumes me. Needless to say, I'm trying to keep occupied with work and staying healthy.
Where are you in your TTCAL journey? Currently on CD 16, super excited to start trying again the next cycle.
Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming? Nope. I do have one July 26 a preconception appt. with a midwives group who frequently do VBAC's. (kind of nervous, wasn't open to midwives before)
QOTW: Has your loss changed the number of children you want to have?
I still want to have 3 children, but as long as I have a happy healthy baby I would be happy with just one.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? Babies! Can't stop thinking about my upcoming appointment and hoping that I will be a good candidate for VBAC and that they agree with me starting to try again now. Husband is kind of on board for trying again now but wants to hear what the midwives say.
Cd 23, I think I o'd and I am hoping for a bfp next week. I'm going insane waiting until then.
Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming?
None
QOTW: Has your loss changed the number of children you want to have?
Yes, I want two with dh, I only wanted one with dh since I have two from a previous marriage.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?
I'm going insane waiting to test. I get free testing at work so I am just going to torture myself and test every day until a bfp
