Bi-Monthly 6+ updates...

Rawr08 · May 2012

Hey ladies! What's new? Remember this is an update on YOU, so anything you want say is fair game. I hope you have all been doing well. I can't wait to hear what you have been up to!

Rawr08 · May 2012

Not much has changed on my end. I still haven't got the title to my car, boo! AND the b!tch decided to kinda break down. So almost $600 later and I have a fix that might get me 10k more miles before I need to replace the whole rear end. AND there was a recall for my make model and year, but of course when I called Ford, my VIN isn't included. Whatev.

The longer we go without TTC, the more I am ok with not TTC. I like the way our life is. I like being able to stay up all night if I want and sleep in if I want. I like being able to just put extra food/water our for our cats if we want to leave for an extended period of time. The longer we go, the less I have the yearning for a baby. Not that it isn't there, because some days it is overwhelming, but at this very moment, I am happy.

vanessa lynne · May 2012

I am only 5DPIUI !! And already getting antsy. 9 days seems so far away.

I picked up my new truck last night..I was sad to leave my old truck. I really loved my old truck..but it was having some problems and a gas guzzler. I loved that it had a 3rd row of seats for the girls I nanny and for Bella of course! Wink My new one is smaller and only a 4 cylinder and I'll get many more miles to the gallon. It's got a sunroof and heated leather seats. I hope I can get used to having less room.

Here is a pic of my new GMC

LOVE that you are happy. I'm sorry about the car situation though - no fun!

Nice ride! I hope the next 9 days get easier for you and go by quickly and gently. GL!!

hungryhippo · May 2012

My loss anniversary (1st loss) is Sunday. I'm feeling pretty bruised and weepy and just yuck. AF is also expected on Sunday.

DH and I agreed that we'd give it one more cycle (June) and then seek some basic testing. The July cycle is already out the window because DH will be OOT during my FW. I emailed my doctor to get her thoughts on pursuing some testing at that point, but I haven't heard back from her.

HopingforChange · May 2012

Still waiting on the appointment with the specialist, which is this Friday. I did finally get AF. And, that really seemed to help balance my hormones (for the moment). Also still waiting on the adoption/foster DCS orientation on June 19. So, basically, still waiting on various things. In terms of morale, I have been better and I've been worse. I'm feeling sort of downtrodden, but it's also been very rainy here the past two days and I was sick all weekend, so I do wonder if that has more to do with it than anything else.

delino · May 2012

After what I thought was a BFP at 9dpo, I sit here at 11dpo with a pile of BFN's. I'm about to dig a hole and live in it until I can face the world again. I have moments where I think that I might get my miraculous BFP, but I doubt it. My 2nd EDD is Saturday and my official BFN beta is Monday. Yay me!

I'm so glad to hear you're doing okay and are finding happiness! But that sucks about the car! Isn't that just how things always go?!

Laurakat81 · May 2012

I'm doing good. I'm also 5dpiui. Time is going so slow. I'm anxious to know if it worked. There's so much added hope to a medicated/IUI/any kind of "special" cycle. But that scares me because I'm sure the heartache of a bfn is that much worse.

KGS2003 · May 2012

One of my EDDs is coming up on 6/1. I am trying not to focus on it but I've been saying that for the last three weeks. I was hoping my new job would distract me from being to sad on that day but my start date was moved so I won't be able to count on that. Also I have a loss date coming up on 6/17 and my bump anniversary on 6/22. Yeah these next few weeks are going to suck.

Other than that I am just taking it one day at a time. I finally got AF after taking provera and I am CD7. I'm charting and using the CBFM but I have very little hope left in me. I feel like I am just going through the motions right now. I know at some point I will feel better about things just not right now. I feel like I am stuck in a Howard Jones song. For those of you who are like what??? It's the song called "No One Is To Blame"

Honestly, I'm so glad I have you all who understand since no one IRL does.

KGS2003 · May 2012

Rawr - I'm so glad you are happy and enjoying life right now.

Vanessa - Love the new car we have an Acadia and love it. FX you get some good news from your IUI.

HungryHippo - ((Hugs)) you know how much love I have for you. I messaged you back yesterday.

Hopingforchange - Good luck with both your appointments. I hope they bring you some peace and renewed hope.

Delino - I'm giving you ((Big Big Hugs)) I am here for you if you need to talk. I know how much of an emotional toll a failed cycle can take on a person.

LauraKat - FX you also get some good news from your IUI.

HopingforChange · May 2012

MrsErinH:

I just wanted to say good luck to everyone right now...and Rawr I'm sorry to hear about your car, I hope you can get everything straightened out.

I'm in the endless waiting game...2ww plus waiting to go see the RE on June 20. I'm trying to be patient but I am such a mixed bag: one day up, the next day super down. All the board drama hasn't exactly been helping (although it does provide a distraction I suppose).

Mainly keeping myself busy out of TTC, we are going on a mission trip on June 12 so I'm looking forward to that.

Where is your trip to?

jenn0021 · May 2012

Basically nothing has changed with me. Still sick and still TTA. I'm getting really sick of writing that everytime but hey, it's the truth.

I'm sending ((hugs)) to everyone, I think they are needed.

Bummer with your car! That happened to me the month after I paid off my old car too. It's like they have a brain and know when you'd have extra cash, lol.

Not much to update here... in the 2ww. My test date is June 11th. Oh and tomorrow is my last day of school!

We're going to New Orleans with 40 teenagers from our church. Pray for me! lol

You are a brave, brave soul! I will definitely keep you in my prayers that week! Wink It sounds like it will be a lot of fun, but definitely intense with that many teens!!!

kate6267 · June 2012

Hi everyone, My month has been ok. I survived my EDD on May 17 That is the LO I lost in September and now I have the anniversary of my EDD for Emily... Im not sure how to feel about it. Her birhtday should have been this month... but we celebrate in February when she was born so there are a lot of mixed emotions.

I'm on my 3 cycle of clomid and testing Monday. Hoping it goes well because TTCAL is starting to get to me.

Gregermis · June 2012

Delino - HUGE ((((hugs))))

I had a SIS earlier this week. I now have a hysteroscopy on Monday, hoping to move forward from there with FET #2

millejj1 · June 2012

Totally tardy to the party, but I wanted to chime in now that I actually have a free second to myself.

Rawr- So glad you're happy! The can thing totally blows, isn't that the way it always happens!?! You finally get it paid off and then it breaks down. Gah!

Vanessa- Congrats on the new ride! It's awesome and I'm sure the gas savings are great.

HH- I hope your doctor gets back to you soon. That's great that you and your DH are on the same page with testing.

Hoping for Change- Good luck at your meeting and I hope it was just the weather that was getting you down.

Delino- I'm so sorry, huge hugs

Laurakat- good luck! I hope the rest of your 2ww goes fast!

KSG- Big huge hugs, I hope the next few weeks surprise you and treat you gently.

MrsErinH- Good luck on your 2ww. And 40 teens in New Orleans! Eep! good luck!

Jenn0021- Ahh, the joys of the bench. I commiserate in it's soul sucking. Big hugs to you too.

jenek0213- I hope you get the results you're hoping for and that you get to cycle soon!

Vinceandang- Good luck this cycle and how fun that you are taking the knitting class. I don't have the patience to knit! I did one summer with my grandmother, but now I don't even remember how. I hope your last few days goes super quickly!

BEB- Muah!

Kate- Hugs and some more hugs!

Gregermis- Good luck with your FET!

Petra- Squee!! That is all.

hungryhippo · June 2012

Mille - you are so awesome to do a round up post to everyone. You forgot to mention your own update. You guys put an offer on a house recently, right? Where do things stand now??

Everyone - ((hugs)) to everyone who's hurting right now and ((hugs)) for everyone waiting or embarking on new cycles. The strength in this group is impressive.

CashewsMommy · June 2012

Me: TTCAL sucks. My body sucks. My insurance sucks. That is all.

My last day for my long term assignment is Tuesday! I'm going to miss those kids. They were so great.

CashewsMommy · June 2012

Rawr - Oh no! I hope things with your car get better soon!! And as for your comment " The longer we go without TTC, the more I am ok with not TTC. I like the way our life is." I can totally relate. As much as I want a baby, and would love a child.... i'm starting to get to that point that we were at when we first started TTC... with Aurora. If it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, it doesn't.

Vanessa - Ohhh! Nice new car!! And good luck testing! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Hippo - {{hugs}} to you

HFC - How did your appointment go??? We need updates!!

Delino - {{{{hugs}}}} I hope for some good news come Monday!

Laurakat - Good luck testing!!! I really hope for the best!!

KGS - {{hugs}} today on your EDD.

Erin - Woah, check out that temp dip!!!!!

jenek - That's amazing news!!!

Ang - I'm so glad the s/e weren't that bad! Yay!

Kate - Good luck on Monday!! So many people are testing around the same time, let's hope for a wave!

Gregermis - Good luck Monday and I hope you get to move onto your FET!

Petra - Ohhhhh! So much anticipation!

Millejj - Um, i'm with Hippo. Where is your update????

ufsandra85 · June 2012

I wish it was easier to bump from my phone... Rawr08- I'm starting to feel the same way. We stopped ttc after my 5th loss so I could focus on me for a while and I'm really loving it. I'm starting to think babies are over rated. Probably spending 2 weeks with my sister's hellions helped that opinion. I decided to go back to my career and not let going to the re constantly, surgeries, bed rest dictate my life anymore because all that lead to last year was depression. I also blame the sun less north east which I'm so glad I dont live in anymore. delino- I'm so sorry

Vanessa congrats in the new car Gahhh it is so hard to respond on my phone. I'm about to give up. I have wrote this thing 4 times there was a huge sub fire so my husband's sea time this summer got canceled. I have mixed emotions about it. He worked so hard preparing for this underway and was going to be second in command so he is really disappointed. I'm happy I get him home but would rather him be happy. Got an e mail from our realtor yesterday that our june 18th close date is a no go and we are probably closing end of july. Good thing us wer are going to rent the house until closing but it would have been nice to ve owners june 18. I'm st my moms beach house right now and there is no internet or cable so my phone is my only connection to the world.

millejj1 · June 2012

So here's what's new with me.

Still rocking the bench. I'm on it until at least August.

In the world of work, we just got a big grant to continue my program for another year so that's exciting.

As far as house hunting goes, we were under contract, it didn't do even remotely well during inspection, we walked, and so we're back to the drawing board. Some day we'll find a house. We have a few others we liked and we took our parents to see them this week, so I'm going to start getting insurance quotes and such on them.

My family has been in town for about week. They left this morning and I know I'm going to get super homesick. It's been nice having them close.

I was trying to do my update when we had yet another power outage from yet another thunderstorm. We took my family to Savannah yesterday so I didn't have a chance to get online, but I just posted one now.

stillbaking · June 2012

Me - started Femera this cycle - have an ultrasound tomorrow to see if it did it's job. Although, I'm having fertile cervical fluid for the first time in my life on CD13 so fingers crossed. Of course DH has thrown out his back, so this may just be a 'practice' med cycle if he's not feeling better asap.

I'm afraid I don't have a good enough memory to remember what everyone's up to, but (((Hugs))) to those who need it, fingers crossed for everyone facing IUIs/etc.

mikeANDjen448 · June 2012

Sorry I'm so late to the thread!!

It sounds like there is so much going on! I don't have the best memory and didn't want to quote everyone, but how about a sparkling glass of BFP dust to all in need

and another round to help get through tough times.....

As for me, I am back on meds this cycle and we went to Femara 2.5mg cd5-9. Currently I am on cd8... I do agree with laurakat when she said earlier that during a "special" cycle there is a different kind of pressure and I'm so scared that it will hurt much worse if I get that BFN....
