Bi-Monthly 6+ Wine and Cheese Party (updates)

Rawr08 · November 2012

Hello ladies, and welcome to all of our new comers! In case you don't know I try to post this update thread every two weeks. I think it is easy for some (me) to get the condensed version of everyone's updates. So, tell me how the past two weeks have been?

QOTW: What are your plans for Thanksgiving?

PS- this time I actually brought some booze and food!

Rawr08 · November 2012

I don't have much of an update. Here I am though! Well, actually, last update I said I thought AF was showing after CD49, I was right and wrong. She was here, then she wasn't, then I spotted, then I didn't. I think I had a total of 12 days dealing with her in some shape or form. Hopefully that is over now.

Court is at the end of the month, our nerves are getting the best of us.

QOTW: Not doing much for Thanksgiving. Making dinner for myself and DH. My Birthday is the day before, so I haven't really thought about Thanksgiving. To think of Thanksgiving means I have to have a Birthday, and I don't want it! I WILL NOT be going out shopping on Black Friday. I worked too many years in retail to even attempt it.

jenn0021 · November 2012

((hugs)) to you Rawr. And thanks for bringing the booze and chocolate. Yum!

I'm doing alright. AF showed this weekend and I have decided that we will take a charting break. I'm sick and tired of temping every morning so this month I'm not going to. I feel pretty good about that decision. I'm actually feeling pretty good and didn't have any breakdowns when AF showed but I'm pretty sure it will come when SIL #2 has her baby, due any day now. I'm not even going to get into the story of why it's no fair they have a baby and I don't. I'm sure we can all relate.

As far as health, I've actually been feeling pretty good lately. Which is amazing and I'm completely loving it. Hopefully it keeps up.

CNYBride05 · November 2012

I'm not around so much these days, but do try to stop in weekly to keep up with everyone.

((Rawr)) and ((Jenn)). Jenn, I totally get the charting break - I hope it's helpful for you :-)

Update: Just had ER yesterday for our 1st (hopefully only, at least for this rainbow) IVF cycle. A little bummed with numbers, but we'll take what we can get and I'm trying to be optimistic about the whole thing. Due to the BT, we're doing PGD (genetic testing), so the more the better. If any of our little embies pass the test, ET would be Fri. TTCAL and IVF are totally a mindf*ck. Just trying to remember to take things a day at a time.

QOTW: We are layin' low. Just the 2 of us for T'giving this year which is a first. We'll see what kind of traditions (if any) we start.

hungryhippo · November 2012

Booze and chocolate?? Yes, please.

Rawr, Happy Birthday! I had similar feelings about mine, no fun. I hope court goes well so this can be behind you.

Jenn, taking temping breaks is good for me too, and MH appreciates it a lot. I'm sorry about AF and SIL.

CNY, sorry ER didn't produce better results. I'm still hopeful for you and hope transfer goes as well as possible.

I'm 9dpo with very little chance at a BFP, having been out of town and now officially being infertile and all. I start my first Femara cycle on CD3, so I'm looking ahead to that.

QOTW, low key Thanksgiving at my sister's followed by wine tasting with friends and an overnight B and B stay. I'm generally looking forward to both.

Rawr: sorry af was dumb. Happy early birthday!

Jenn: I dont blame you for the charting break. I hope you continue to feel great!

CNYbride: Fx for your IVF cycle!!!

HungryHippo: I'm sorry you are officially infertile Fx for the femara cycle!

stlucia_wife: I hope the 2ww doesn't drive you too crazy! Wink

I dont have too much to update. I'm just waiting for AF to show up so I can schedule my HSG.fun.

for Thanksgiving we are eating with my family for lunch. then for supper we are eating at my FIL's with a mixture of his family & my MIL's family which is interesting b/c they are divorced Confused

Smootiepie · November 2012

Rawr: I hate never ending AFs, but I'm glad she finally showed

Jenn: I've said it before, but you are so brave to take a temping break, I could never do it.

CNY: I'm sorry the numbers weren't what you wanted, but you know we're rooting for you like crazy!

StLucia: I'll be praying all day for you while you're at court!!!

HH: The official IF Dx sucks, *HUGE HUGS*

EK: T&Ps for your HSG (if it helps, mine wasn't so bad - just take the recommended Advil beforehand)

mlal: Hooray for being off the bench!!!!! FX the shots will do the trick!

AFM: Nothing much going on. Just waiting to O, should be over Thanksgiving. We may actually have a shot this cycle since DH is over 72 days past surgery. Although we won't know the official results until DH's post-op SA the second week of Dec.

QOTW: We are driving the 6 hours to see my family tonight. Should be fun to try and sneak in some FW sex...

stlucia_wife:
Hippo Big hugs.nbsp; Well I hope that little chance surprises you.nbsp; I am happy though you have a plan just in case.Yay for wine tasting!

Thanks! I hope your 2ww ends with a bfp. I totally hear you on giving up, but I'm glad you aren't going to. Huge hugs. I was so ready to just quit trying a couple of months ago. I mentioned it to DH and he was pretty upset. The man was born to be a dad and that's one of the reasons I love him. I can't give up on that.

Hope you can schedule the HSG soon. Is this a repeat or have you not had one yet?

I hope the family dynamics don't make things too interesting for Thanksgiving.

I hope the genetic testing comes back normal and that the heparin protocol is just the right thing to bring your rainbow here.

GL on getting a much improved SA and some good turkey day FWP!

My update is too long to post but IVF was cancelled on Thursday due to DH being diagnosed with Hep C. We've been through a hepatology consult, a throwdown with the RE, firing the RE, and finding a new clinic since Monday. DH is perfectly fine and will be enrolled in a clinical trial for a new med that's coming on the market in two years, but until then we're good to continue with IVF.

QOTW: DH runs a bakery, so the days surrounding the holidays are his busiest days of the year. We don't generally travel for T-day and have family come to us; this year with the addition of what we thought was going to be the middle of stims for an IVF cycle as well as my looming EDD, we decided that it's going to be a quiet day with just the two of us. I am really looking forward to it.

DebateThis · November 2012

Rawr: Boo/yay AF!

Jenn: I hope this break is exactly what you need.

CNY: My fingers are crossed for you!!

StLucia: You guys are in my thoughts!

HH: Ugh. I am so sorry. Realizing the weight of the word "infertility" was very hard for me.

EK: GL with the HSG and don't forget to take some Advil (800mg an hour before) plus bring a pad with you.

mlal: Bow chicka wow wow!

Smootie: FX for the repeat SA and lots of humping!!

katharine25 · November 2012

Happy Black Friday everyone!

Rawr: Happy Belated Birthday!! Good luck at court!

Jenn0021: ((Hugs)) Life is just so unfair. Yay!! for good health!

CNYBride: Can't wait for excellent news!! I'm on pins and needles for you!

HungryHippo: I'm excited for you in this upcoming cycle/ And I miss you - - I wish we could have coffee every morning!

stlucia_wife: I hope your having a good holiday weekend, that must be incredible rough to be facing. How did your hearing go?

EKGibs: good luck with you HSG! I hope it gives you great results!

mlal: I'm hoping the heparin is the trick for you. I know I'm clinging to that hope too!

Smootiepie: Good luck this cycle!

DebateThis: What a flucking rollercoaster you've been on these past few weeks. I'm happy that the end result isn't as bad as it could have been. Many Many hugs

Wicked: (((((((HUGS))))))) I suspect she's around the corner, but what a biotch!!

I'm hanging out in what is seemingly the never ending fertile window, DHis happy about that but I'm ready for it to be over. We spent this Thanksgiving in denial & cuddled on the couch - that seems to be doing the trick. I'm going to meet a rainbow baby tomorrow and am terrified that I might react badly. I'm bringing DH with me for moral support, and he's informed me that he may cry too - That broke my heart and made me oddly appeased. We'll see how it goes.

this is a repeat. I had one done 4 or 5 years ago & my tubes were clear. I've had lap surgery & an ectopic since then so my RE wants to be sure they are still clear before we try IUI.

pkaren · November 2012

Rawr - AF is a dumb b!tch. And GL with court

Jenn - I'm so happy to hear you've been feeling better! I hope it lasts! And Sorry AF showed, I think a chart break will be a god thing! I took one (mostly) last month and it felt freeing.

CNYBride - GL with the IVF! ((HUGS))

Hippo - I just chart stalked and saw AF showed. So sorry! ((HUGS)) GL with the Femara next cycle!

stlucia wife - I hope you get a BFP this cycle and AF doesn't show her face! GL with the hearing!

EKGibs - GL with the HSG!

mlal - I'm glad that you are finally off the bench and that the heparin does the trick for you!

Smootiepie - GL this cycle!

DebateThis - I can't believe everything you're going through right now and I'm so sorry to hear about your DH! I'm glad you were able to con't with the IVF. Everything crossed for you!

Wicked - sorry to see AF showed ((HUGS))

Katharine - ((HUGS)) I hope your meeting with the baby went okay!

Me: Well, I'm back from Mexico, back to work. I feel more stressed out than when I left. DH and I got into a huge fight on the way back and it's still a little weird. We had sex last night though, mostly just bc I'm pretty sure I'm in my FW.

I've been in a not good place for a few days now. One of our friends ( a male btw) decided to lecture me that I need to stop trying and "just let it happen". I was so hurt and shocked I walked away and when DH came to see if I was okay, I told him, he needs to stop or I'm going to cry. DH told him to drop it and he apologized, but it just made me feel sick for the rest of the day. It's been hard coming back here to the board, I can't believe how much change there's been in only a week. So many more new faces, it's so sad.

I might not be around a whole lot, I think I need a bit of a break. I need to refocus on my relationship with DH and just make myself feel better. I'll be around here and there, I don't think I can quit you guys completely. I bump mostly from work and I'm swamped now from being away and DH and I had a talk and it bothers him that I'm always on the computer and always distracted.

Man, I can ramble. Anyways, ((HUGS)) to you ladies and keep me in the loop if there's an Ontario GTG. Jenn knows how to contact me.

hungryhippo · November 2012

DebateThis: I'm so glad your DH is ok, and I'm so bummed that you had to go through all of that crap, especially when you were trying to squeeze in IVF on such a tight schedule.

Wicked: AF is the hoariest hoar I know. I'm so sorry she was so awful to you. Again. In such a cruel way. I hate that b!tch.

Katharine: Dude, that IS one never ending FW. May O be strong and swift! (like, now!), and may we find ourselves sipping coffee together again one day soon. I'm beyond happy that we got to meet!

EKGibs: I hope the HSG goes well and that you get to schedule it soon so you can get on with your IUI cycle!

Pkaren; I've so been there. Awesome vacation, fighting, people telling me to just relax (Can one be more relaxed on vacation??? Still didn't work, jerkface!) and needing to step away from it all. I get it. I hope this roller coaster can end for you, and all of us, soon.
