Where are you in your TTCAL journey?

Cycle 4, CD19

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming?

No but I'm thinking of making an appointment to talk about my returning anxiety

QOTW: Have you had any breakdowns lately? What set you off and how did you get through it?

A few weeks ago I find out that an angel mom and friend of ours is expecting twins in the summer. Their son that became an angel - his name is Corbin too. Normally I'm actually happy for fellow loss moms. I don't know why but I completely lost it. When I lose it I try to just ride it out. Cry for however long I need to cry etc.

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?

How I can get DH to be on the same page as me. IT seems like ever since we started trying that he's no longer interested in the necessary activities to do so. Planning on talking with him to find out what's going on.

Where are you in your TTCAL journey?

Cycle 3, CD 15. I should have Oed today, but instead I got an OPK with the faintest line ever. Wonder if I missed my surge this cycle?

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming?

Nope

QOTW: Have you had any breakdowns lately? What set you off and how did you get through it?

Monday. It was my 4 month milestone. I cried and talked with DH. He has been less interested in talking about things recently.

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?

How the more I think about wanting another baby, I think I do not want another baby. As I get further from my loss, I feel like I am grieving a 4 month old as opposed to a newborn. This makes the concept of having another baby much harder. I want a baby so very bad, but as time goes on, I just want Bradley again, not a new baby.

Where are you in your TTCAL journey?

CD14, cycle 6

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming?

I might go in for bloodwork to test progesterone next week. My OB said I don't really need to do it since I o'd last cycle on this dosage, but I will probably want to know (I don't chart and rarely get positive OPKs, even on cycles that I ovulate)

QOTW: Have you had any breakdowns lately? What set you off and how did you get through it?

I had a series of small breakdowns last week, around the 6 month mark. Some of the things that set me off: driving past the hospital on a quiet night after singing a funeral mass, having to explain to a close friend that DH and I may not want to see her and her family this May (they have a 1 year old son-we were looking forward to raising our kids together), watching the latest episode of Downton Abbey, asking my boss for July 22 (his angelversary) off. In most cases, I let myself cry and wallow in sadness and self-pity for a little while, and accepted lots of hugs and cuddling from DH.

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?

Hoping that this is our month to conceive our rainbow, and missing Julian, as always.

Where are you in your TTCAL journey?

Cycle: 2 Cd: 4

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming?

No. I will probably schedule a meeting with my therapist sometime over the next two weeks.

QOTW: Have you had any breakdowns lately? What set you off and how did you get through it?

Yes, I had a major break down on Monday. I posted about it on here and you ladies were very supportive. I think it was intense hormones from my period because it arrived the next morning. But I also think it had to do with the my new niece and just me pushing through all the pain and facing every day. I think it just all caught up with me. It has been a challenging week, I have cried almost every day this week.

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?

One of the women in my november 2012 bmb sent me an ovulation watch to try out this month. They have terrible reviews on amazon but she swears by it. I am hoping that using that and OTK will help us conceive this month. Although if we do we will be on the same timeline as my last pregnancy. I think I am ok with this, I think I can handle it. We would have an october baby because my next baby, if we get there will be taken out early just for my peace of mind.

I hope your all doing well.
