Hi girls, and happy Thursday! I hope this morning finds you well...it seems as though this week in particular has been exceedingly difficult for some of us! Hugs, and I hope things are looking up for all of you. This check in is a bit of a P&R for me because I have been super busy at work! But you're all in my thoughts and I will try and respond the second I have a chance.
This is an open check-in for those with a loss of a LO and/or EDD in September. We have both ladies from 2011 and 2012. If you want to join, please introduce yourself and give your EDD to be added to the list. Feel free to grab the September badge (below in my siggy)!

Re: ~*~* Sapphire Sweethearts Check-In ~*~*
Update: Please update us on any testing, dr. appts, milestones, etc. Well last week I had a consult with an Endocrinologist (mostly to adjust my insulin dosages). After looking at my history and the good control I have, he doesn't seem to think my loss was due to the Diabetes - he thinks it was probably a random occurrance. I also really appreciated that he's taking an extra look at anything I might have that could lead to miscarriage next time...so now we're testing for Hashimoto's and other thyroid issues. Oh, and I'm in the 2WW right now, but I'm not feeling very confident :
GTKY:
What's your favorite TV show? Grey's Anatomy. Kills me every time! And Happy Endings, that show is hilar.
Show you won't openly admit to liking? Pretty Little Liars...I'm straight-up obsessed! And Teen Mom.
What show do you hate? Anything Kardashian or Real Housewife related.
Cycle 9: BFP 5-3-12:EDD 1-24-13 It's a girl! Born 12-27-12
Update: I am waiting to O - should be today or tomorrow. This morning, I got a very positive OPK. Typically, my temp takes a big drop 2 days before O, and that was Tuesday, so we will see.
Favorite TV Show: Biggest Loser, NCIS, Pan Am
Guilty Pleasure show: Sister Wives...it's like a train wreck...I just can't look away.
Show that I hate: Real Housewives of any where - there isn't anything real about any of them.
*PGAL/PAL Welcome*
My Ovulation Chart
Update: Please update us on any testing, dr. appts, milestones, etc. I am in the 2ww now and we timed it well this month.....so I guess we shall see.
GTKY:
What's your favorite TV show? I can't choose just one - NCIS LA, Hawaii 5-0, NCIS.........also love Bones and several of the USA Network Shows (Burn Notice, Royal Pains, Fairly Legal)!
Show you won't openly admit to liking? Survivor
What show do you hate? I don't really notice anything other than my favorites so this is hard - will not watch anything with the Kardashians, Real Housewives, etc.
BFP #2 - 7/1/12 - Met my lucky charm Alexandra on 3-16-13!!!
Update: Please update us on any testing, dr. appts, milestones, etc.
Im on CD3 and this cycle really hit me hard. It was our first official medicated cycle and I think I got my hopes up that everything would be okay and I would get my BFP but that didn't happen. I go for an ultrasound tomorrow morning and then will be bumped up to 100mg of clomid for this cycle. End of May was when we found out we were pregnant with the twins 2 years ago so I am hoping that maybe God will grant me another BFP with a sticky baby this month.
GTKY:
What's your favorite TV show? NCIS, Criminal Minds, Grey's, and Biggest Loser
Show you won't openly admit to liking? I watch 16 & pregnant and Teen Mom not sure why but its like a car accident that you just have to look it.
What show do you hate? Anything to do with Kim Kardashian I can't stand.
Started Lupron yesterday, still on BCP... next appt is 5/3.
NCIS and The Big Bang Theory

Update: Please update us on any testing, dr. appts, milestones, etc. Things here are still stagnant. Recovering from Tuesdays surgery and prepping for surgery #2 this coming Tuesday. I am just praying and hoping that these kidney stone issues can get taken care of ASAP, so we can get back to TTCAL. FX that next month is our month!!!
GTKY:
What's your favorite TV show? Anything Kardashian
Show you won't openly admit to liking? Hart of Dixie
What show do you hate? Dance Moms - I think it is child cruelty and should not be allowed to be on TV, in my opinion
HUGS to anyone who needs them!!!
Update: Please update us on any testing, dr. appts, milestones, etc.
We had our RPL testing follow-up apt yesterday. Good news is they did not find anything wrong with DH and I. We also found out that the pathology from the m/c showed chromosomal errors, so I guess I feel like we can finally close that chapter and look forward to the future.
GTKY:
What's your favorite TV show? Grey's Anatomy, Real Houswives of NJ
Show you won't openly admit to liking? Betheny ever After
What show do you hate? Jeopardy... I always end up feeling like a moron, lol

GTKY:
What's your favorite TV show? I love Bones and am really liking the new show Scandal.
Show you won't openly admit to liking? Dance Moms and Big Rich Texas are my guilty pleasures.

Cycle 9: BFP 5-3-12:EDD 1-24-13 It's a girl! Born 12-27-12
Well, clearly we are rooting for your BFP! Lots of luck and keep us posted.
Cycle 9: BFP 5-3-12:EDD 1-24-13 It's a girl! Born 12-27-12
I'm right there with you! This is my first cycle post-D&C, I made sure we humped like whoa. Hoping this is your last 2ww for a long time!
Cycle 9: BFP 5-3-12:EDD 1-24-13 It's a girl! Born 12-27-12
Ouch. Sorry about the BFN...I'm sure with a medicated cycle it's really hard not to get your hopes up. FX your next cycle is the one that works!
Also, it seems the majority of us here are anti-Kardashian and Housewives!
Cycle 9: BFP 5-3-12:EDD 1-24-13 It's a girl! Born 12-27-12
Hoping your next appointment goes well! My hubs love Big Bang Theory too. I don't, really, but since he always has an episode on, it's grown on me a little!
Cycle 9: BFP 5-3-12:EDD 1-24-13 It's a girl! Born 12-27-12
"This sh*t is bananas! B-A-N-A-N-A-S!" You kill me. I'm having a cuckoo banana crackers week too. Hope everything settles down for you!
Cycle 9: BFP 5-3-12:EDD 1-24-13 It's a girl! Born 12-27-12
I've told you before but I'll say it again: after seeing what my H went through with his kidney stone issues, I only have a small idea of what you're going through, but I know it sucks! I'm really hoping everything goes smoothly and you can get back on track. Thinking of you!
Cycle 9: BFP 5-3-12:EDD 1-24-13 It's a girl! Born 12-27-12
That's great news! Cheers to starting fresh. You have a great attitude about things, I hope it rubs off on me!
Cycle 9: BFP 5-3-12:EDD 1-24-13 It's a girl! Born 12-27-12
Good luck! Hoping you can stay busy so the wait flies by for you. And what is it with guys and their love of police shows?!
Cycle 9: BFP 5-3-12:EDD 1-24-13 It's a girl! Born 12-27-12
Yay for AF! It's amazing how excited I was to have her show up after my D&C...now let's hope she stays away for all of us.
I also love PLL! Have you watched Switched at Birth? It's just as addicting!
Cycle 9: BFP 5-3-12:EDD 1-24-13 It's a girl! Born 12-27-12
Hello ladies!
The only real update I have is that I am now in the 2ww after we decided to begin TTC again this month instead of next. I also have started seeing my therapist every two weeks instead of every week as my anxiety level has started to go down and I find that I am having less "down days" lately. My sister's baby shower is this Sunday....after a lot of second guessing and soul searching I have decided to try and go. I am just keeping my fingers crossed that I can save the tears for the ride home....
My favorite show: Hmmmm....don't know if I can pick just one! I love Modern Family, How I Met Your Mother, Glee, Friends re-runs, BBC Top Gear, Community and Parks and Rec.
I don't admit to watching "Glee" very often....I also love any celebreality show on VH1---I watched all of the seasons of "Flavor of Love".
I don't like most medical shows on TV---especially the ones where all the nurses are good for are sleeping with the doctors and emptying the bedpans....so, needless to say, Grey's Anatomy is out.
((HUGS)) to anyone who needs them!
Update:
Currently waiting to O. OPKs were all but positive today, so hopefully I didn't miss my surge.
GTKY:
What's your favorite TV show? Big Bang Theory
Show you won't openly admit to liking? I don't really have anything that I wouldn't just admit to. (and I don't watch a ton of TV, either)
What show do you hate? Any reality TV, shows about celebrities, that kind of thing.
Yay for TTC early! How exciting! And I'm happy to hear that your anxiety is leveling out...sounds like you have good news all around! I'll be thinking of you on Sunday. We're here for you!
Cycle 9: BFP 5-3-12:EDD 1-24-13 It's a girl! Born 12-27-12
Good luck this cycle...here's hoping you won't need to use OPKs for a long time after this!
Cycle 9: BFP 5-3-12:EDD 1-24-13 It's a girl! Born 12-27-12
I'm late to the party as usual lately! Crazy day at work!
Update: Please update us on any testing, dr. appts, milestones, etc. Finished my first round of Clomid and am waiting for the folllies to grow. I have a follow up on Mon and hopefully IUI later in the week.
GTKY:
What's your favorite TV show? I Dexter and True Blood
Show you won't openly admit to liking? 19 Kids and Counting, Jersey Shore
What show do you hate? Toddlers and Tiaras! I think it's disgraceful!
Hey KP, can I be added to the check in? My EDD was Sept 5/12.
Update: Still in TTA/TTC limbo, waiting for first AF since my D&C. Getting frustrated!!
GTKY:
What's your favorite TV show? Fave show is Grey's Anatomy for sure!
Show you won't openly admit to liking? Jersey Shore (Yeah buddy!)

Yesssss. Well I am covering you in AF dust! Keep us posted. I'm going to add you on the check in list now!
Cycle 9: BFP 5-3-12:EDD 1-24-13 It's a girl! Born 12-27-12
**BFP warning...except it doesn't end well**
Update: This week has been craptastic. I had a BFP and miscarriage all on the same day. I'm hoping I can continue to m/c naturally because I'd like to avoid a third D&C. Loss #3 for me. We are meeting with the RE in a week and a half. I'm mad at myself that I didn't go with my guy after my last loss and go to the RE before TTC again.
What's your favorite TV show? I really enjoy Modern Family these days! I also like Once Upon a Time, Fringe, 30 Rock.
Show you won't openly admit to liking? Revenge, Vampire Diaries, The Bachelor/Bachelorette, Big Brother
What show do you hate? I saw Don't Trust the B in Apartment 3 or whatever it's called on Wednesday and it was terrible. They seemed like they were just reciting lines and it was very unfunny!
Oh man, I can't even imagine. I'm so sorry for your loss and everything you're going through. No one should have to deal with that. Sending you hugs!
Cycle 9: BFP 5-3-12:EDD 1-24-13 It's a girl! Born 12-27-12
Hey, a little late for check in. But anyway I was on vacation and had a great time. I am waiting for my HSG results. My OB appointment is tomorrow. That's all I can think about right now.
My favorite show is Survivor.
I hate to admit to watching Mob Wives, but I could see myself being one if I lived in NJ, hahahaha! Oh, I also watch The Weather Channel all the time.
All of these show are bad guilty pleasures, but it could be much worse I guess.
