Remembering Our Sapphire Sweethearts

lauralew · April 2011

Hello ladies!! Here is our weekly check-in. Give us an update (TTCAL related or not!) and the GTKY activity is below.

Describe yourself in three words. And ONLY three words.

lauralew · April 2011

Follicle Scan went well; FWP a lot over the next few days!!

Engaging, compassionate, talkative

jenn0021 · April 2011

I love this check in. My week has been a little rough. I'm finding it really hard seeing all the pregnant people and babies around me. My first EDD was March 14 and there were a ton of babies born in March. So now I'm just sad for what should have been. And I'm also sad because I should at least be 16w4d right now. Hmph. But, on a good note. I got a referral to a really good ob/gyn so that made me a little happier.

GTKY: Friendly, pessimist, skinny. (unoriginal I know, I couldn't think of anything better)

Pregnant bellies are so hard to deal with. The woman I work with who is due about a week or two before I was due...her belly is starting to show. And every time I see her, I automatically look straight at her belly. I have a feeling it seems pretty creepy, but she probably doesn't even notice.

MDT082010 · April 2011

First month using my CBEFM: I got lows, highs, and peaks so that made me happy. I am exhausted from FWP...one more night to go because by RE told me we need to FWP on the 2 peaks and the day after.

I could use some prayers and good thoughts that we get a BFP. Maybe I can be one of those lucky FH who get their BFP after one month of using the CBEFM Wink ...a girl can dream.

GTKY: Driven, compassionate, worrier

roadstar · April 2011

Getting ready to O!!!

Funny, sarcastic, outgoing

williams4me · April 2011

I'm just waiting on AF again (hopefully next week) then we are TTC again!

Inquisitive, Compassionate, Insomniac (as of lately) Smile

roadstar · April 2011

It looks like alot of us will be in the 2ww together. Fingers crossed for everyone!!!!!

glitterfish 213 · April 2011

Well I'm expecting AF any day and hating these long post m/c cycles If she's still not here by the wekend I'm going to lose my mind. I've decided to switch to taking temps the "other" way since I'm a mouth breather and I snore Embarrassed . Hopefully the change will make things clearer the next cycle. Also, I'm ordering that tea (I forget the name) to hopefully help balance my hormones and get me back to non-marathon cycle status...we shall see.

GTKY: Friendly, Social, Worrywart

Hi everyone! This is my first check in.My husband and I have been actively TTC again, but this month might not work out. My grandpa is in the hospital in Oregon, and I might be flying up there with my mom soon. So there is a good chance we'll miss it this month since I expect to ovulate in about a week to ten days. T&P for my grandpa would be much appreciated!Sensitive, empathic, caring

Many T&P's with your Grandpa and your family ((hugs))

fightingravity · April 2011

Hope it's ok if I come in--I was due sept 22nd, but wasn't very active on the Sept BMB.

Currently in week 1 of the 2ww, first cycle TTC after the m/c. I just have a gut feeling it didn't "take" this cycle, so feeling kind of down.

I am curious, sensitive, anxious. (In general, and in particular this week.)

You are definitely welcome!! I think when we started talking about it, we referenced the Sept 2011 BMB, but really it's for anyone who had an EDD in Sept 2011.

mrst-tobe · April 2011

Hi Ladies! This week at work has been really busy so I haven't had time to post much, but hopefully it slows down after today! We are in our first cycle TTC. I have decided to not chart for a couple of cycles and just see what happens, and since my cycle is a little wonky right now, I'm not sure when I'll O. Maybe this weekend?? Anyways, we are just going with it for now!

kind, sensitive, dependable

jesses__girl · April 2011

This is my first time on this board and not quite sure if I belong here yet, but this board is a little more positive than the miscarriage one so i decided to take the leap! I'm glad I came across this post. I've been doing better lately, but found out yesterday my friend that is due about a week before i was is having a boy. I've been dreading her appt because it's just a reminder that next week I wont be finding out anything. But on a happier note, I found out I still have a chance of getting into the RN program this summer. Hubby and I are waiting for that to decide whether we want to start trying again now or wait a little while so i wont have an EDD until i would graduate next May.

PetraStonegirl:

I'm ducking in quickly for our check-in, and then back out again. DH dislocated a rib and tore some muscle fibers in his back, so has been home for 2 days. Taking care of him and doing my usual chores has left me no time for bumping. So, post-n-run...

I am waiting to O. And, of course, stressed about DH's back. *sigh*

Adventurous, funny, loyal

Oh no, I hope DH feels better soon!

MarxieVonTrapp · April 2011

I'm still waiting for AF. CD55. Not thrilled at this cycle length at all.

Three words: loyal, smart and sarcastic

Mattsgirl2121 · April 2011

I'm hoping to O any day now . My opk today was one of those is it or isn't it things . One side seemed darker but the other was light . I ran out of digitals so I plan to FWP just in case . I'm ready to be in the 2 ww ! Faithful, honest , needy

jkfranklin · April 2011

Not TTCAL related update. DH had surgery for kidney stones about a month ago and they put a stent in. We went in for a follow up 2 weeks ago and the stone wasn't gone so we went in again today and it still wasn't gone so he has to have the surgery again, sigh. The machine that breaks up the stones is only in town on Friday's so he is going in for surgery tomorrow. Missing two days of work sucks!

Three words: Funny, patient, dork

This month's CD3 = productivity!

Job interview went well this morning, they'll make a decision by early next week. Keeping my FX and holding my breath!

GTKY: Southerner-sweet, calm, control freak

~SandyB~ · April 2011

Should be O'ing within the next week. DH has wanted to go to not-not trying for the next couple of months. He feels too much pressure when we have to actively try. Since I chart, I'll still try to get him to BD around the O time, I just won't announce it to him. I should also be O'ing next month on our Alaskan cruise, so I'm excited about that. We always BD more on vacation.

smart, opinionated, introvert

mrscrgr · April 2011

First-timer on the check-in here. We're in the first cycle back TTC after d&c, week 1 of 2ww and feeling optimistic. I don't temp, but I do use daily opk cheapies, and was surprised to register an early LH spike on CD 12 (my ovulation was later before my preg/mc, and with 26 day cycles it made for a tight squeeze on the luteal phase). My CM seemed to confirm that it was time to DTD, so we did, and now I have fingers and toes crossed. It took 8 cycles for our first BFP, so i'm hoping that the supposed fertility boost after mc may be working in our favor.

mork · April 2011

11 weeks after methotrexate, I STILL have HCG in my system. So, at this point, I'm waiting for ANYTHING to happen. This week's description: tired, tired, and tired.

Missa_g · April 2011

Oh my gosh, OUCH! I fractured three ribs and tore all the muscle fibers in between them last year, it sucked really badly! Make sure he takes it easy and doesn't lift anything over 10lbs for awhile. I pushed myself too hard and my recovery took almost a year (still have occasional pain now, 15 months later).

*hug* to you for having to deal with the stress of it!

livy91606 · April 2011

Really late to this thread, but I love this check in.

I'm currently on CD 9 or 10 and couldn't wait to test, of course I got a bfn. My cervix feels open so I am sure AF is just around the corner. I have a nasty cold and it has been sucky week at work. ugh. I need a vacation.

Just found out that BFF is pregnant, actually she texted me the results before the pee stick was even dry. She had been trying for 9 months, so I am happy for her, just sad for me.

Three words that describe me today: bitter, jealous, hopeful
