QOTW: What are your non-TTC goals for 2012?

Any updates??

kiarox2002 · January 2012

Update: Nothing here. I'm calling this cycle on the 14th. I'll take one last test and then start the provera so I have a period. I guess I need to get that prescription filled... Plus side, I'll get to try out my new diva cup.

Goals: Stop being a fat @ss.

Mainer-in-Texas · January 2012

QOTW: Hmmm...I don't really have any specific goals. I'm trying to be less of a nag to MH. Update: I had my blood drawn for another TSH test done today. (I also had to do a two hour fasting glucose tolerance test, blech). Hopefully I'll be starting meds soon - I'm curious to see if they will make me feel any different, as I hadn't noticed that I had any hypothyroid symptoms.

We are now in the TTC group.

This is our first cycle and I'm in the 2WW. I tested often and early with DS (like - don't laugh - 8 DPO, because a girl on the TTGP board got her BFP then and planted crazy ideas in my head) and I am so tempted to do the same now.

However, I didn't get my + until 14 DPO, so I am doing my level best to wait until, say 12 this time That would be Monday.

I think our timing was good, so fingers crossed for the unlikely event that we would be successful during our first month.

GL to everyone!

No updates here - I'm on CD 14. :P

Non TTC goals? Hmm... To bust my Half Marathon time and hit 2:00, sell this house and move (hopefully to Austin, fingers crossed!!) and to lose 7 lbs. or at least 5. It's hard when it's the last little bit. If I'm not KU by April, it should happen with tri training.

brideonjuly8 · January 2012

QOTW- lose the rest of the baby weight. I've said that every year, but I really mean it this time!

UPDATE- CD1 FINALLY. HSG next week, trying to up my metformin dose, acupuncture on Friday. That's about it.

MnMShaw · January 2012

Update: In the 2ww. I can test on Saturday but if AF doesn't come, I am going to wait until Monday to avoid testing early and getting upset.

QOTW: save X amount of money, get healthy, stop eating out so much

agran · January 2012

Update: Not much to report... I think I'm in the 2ww but I've had crazy fertile cervical mucus the last couple of days I'm wondering if my O was delayed because of my hsg. We'll see. I'm frustrated because I really want af next week so I can start meds for our frozen embryo transfer... I'm so ready to get this started. We are going to see Dr. B er ry next monday (our perinatologist) to go over his findings on the placenta pathology from Lilly. Hopefully he can give us more insight into how to prevent a stillbirth going forward. I'm scared like crazy to get pregnant again but I need to just do it. We're in a group counseling session right now and I've had to face the billions of ways you can lose a baby so I don't think I'll ever be comfortable being pregnant.... we just want a living, breathing, takehome baby is that so much to ask? Sorry this turned into a novel update!

QOTW: obviously lose weight but also work on DH and I finding something that defines us outside of ttc-- after 3 years of this mess we're a little lost.

sandieleeann · January 2012

I'm back on this part of the check ins again.

Update: I just had my miscarriage on Sunday, so now I'm just waiting for my levels to get back down. I hope it happens soon so I can move forward. It was much harder on me than I could of ever imagined. I'm going to start temping again tomorrow morning just so I can get into it. Last times I was temping I started to get so stressed out about waking up at the right time that I started waking up at 4 in the morning and than never able to get an accurate reading.

I am REALLY not looking forward to doing all this again. So I hope it happens quickly and is a sticky baby the next time around.

QOTW: I don't really have any. I would like to be able to get a real teaching job this year, but with the second round of budget cuts coming up, I don't really see that happening. I do not think this year will be nearly as successful as last year.

AustinBride06 · January 2012

I'm so sorry for your loss s. I wish you didn't have to be back here.

Update: I'm on cd4 and traveling all week so hopefully DH will miss me sufficiently enough so that our timing is good this cycle. I am pretty optimistic that this will be the one. Tryin not to put too much pressure on us though...I'm getting to the last of my prepaid acupuncture sessions and I'm not sure I can convince DH to be on board w continuing it. I do think it's helping though and I enjoy it and it helps me feel like I'm doing something other than waiting all the time. We usually put extra money into my HSA at tax time to avoid paying income taxes so maybe I can justify paying for it that way. Though I guess we could be saving up for IUIs or IVF. Ugh.

QOTW: to find a way to be happy at my job or change jobs. And to connect better w DH.

christym0606 · January 2012

No update here, still early in the cycle.

QOTW: spend less and lay off the credit cards, start DD's baby book (finally). Also just work on living healthier, both physically and emotionally.

GL to everyone and hugs to those with losses.

Annnnd I TOTALLY missed this one!! Super excited! And lips are sealed!

amycory2008 · January 2012

I'm so sorry for your loss, sandieleean. I hope you're able to get started again soon.

Update: I never had a positive OPK this cycle, which is completely abnormal for me. I tested through CD 17 and then ran out of tests and just figured we wing it this time. I'm on CD 20 now, so who knows what's happening. I know better than to get my hopes up though.

QOTW: I'd like to get back to exercising regularly and eating most of our meals at home, we definitely got lazy about both after the holidays. I'd also like to spend less money, stop buying things we don't really need, and get the house purged and organized.

Good luck to everyone!

NoeliaV · January 2012

No update, really. Just back to temping this cycle and using a new thermometer, as I've misplaced my other one. I think this one favors temps, though, so I may need to look a little harder for ol' reliable.

Non-TTC goals-- I have a bunch for each month. Well, through March, to be perfectly honest. I only have one more to cross off for January and that's to clean out/file my inbox(es) each week.
Other goals are to volunteer more, get my paperwork together for professional certification and practice my Spanish again/more.
