Hi Rawr! Thanks for posting this and checking in with us. I hope the BC helps get your cycles under control. How are you feeling about taking that step?
I'm back after a very brief stint on PgAL a couple weeks ago. We found out on 3/1 that our 6th pregnancy would be lost, exactly like all the others: super early and never having even gotten off the ground. We haven't consulted with our doctors yet, but I doubt they'll have anything new to suggest. DH and I haven't even really talked about where we might want to go from here. Right now, we're just so sad and scared and lost. But I'm thinking we need to go back a step and reconsider a more comprehensive autoimmune evaluation.
((((HUGS)))) and wine and cheese all around. (Yes, at 8am! Because why not?)
TTC since March 2010 ~ Dx Unexplained IF September 2011
2011: IUI + Clomid = CP#1
2012: 3 more IUIs + Clomid = 3 more CPs. One on-our-own pg, also CP
2013: BTB IUI + Lupron/Follistim/Prometrium/PIO = CP #6
IF testing, RPL testing, Autoimmune testing = all normal
So lost.
(((hugs))) honey. I know all about "last-cycle-before" thoughts. FX for you, always!

Rawr - glad to hear you are well. I hope the BCPs help to get your cycles under control.
Red - (((Hugs))) I hope. More testing will help you to find some answers.
Mlal - FX that this is your cycle. I'm wondering to if I will make it in time to have a 2013 baby as well.
I'm just waiting on my appointment on the 20th. I should know when the ET will be at that time. It's seems like so far away.
Rawr - Hopefully the BC can get things less wonky for you!
Red - *HUGS* sweetie. I'm so sorry you're back here.
Mlal - *HUGS* to you too. Hopefully this next cycle is it for you!
As for me, well, I'm back after a stint on PGAL as well. This is loss number 6 for me and it is also the last time we will try. I know I am not strong enough to go through this yet again. So, we are hoping I miscarry naturally...my OB is letting me wait two weeks. Otherwise I will need another d&c. Needless to say, there has been copious amounts of wine consumed in our household as of late.

Hey EK!
I've been busy with the wedding plans, but in the past few days my depression has really spiked. I think it started when I did the math and realized its been enough time since my loss for an entire other baby to have been born. Ugh. Anyway hey everyone!

Hi ladies!
Rawr - good luck with the BCPs!
Red and Sammer - I'm so sorry for your losses *hugs*
mlal - hugs to you dear!
Roxy - hugs for you also
KGS - good luck with your upcoming ET! FX for you!
I'm just coming off my 2nd loss, a c/p from my first IVF. My doctor thinks my eggs are crap and that's what happened (she didn't say 'crap' she said poor quality or something like that. So, crap.)
We will probably do a frozen embryo transfer in April, if I can convince my RE I'm not nuts between now and then. DH thinks I can appease her by going to see a therapist a few times. I frankly think I just need a Hawaiin vacation with lots of pina coladas and massages from a guy named Franz, but ok.
BFP#1 1/31/12, EDD 10/6/12 Harrison Gray born sleeping @ 18w6d. You changed our lives little guy.
BFP#2 EDD 10/29/13, C/P 2/25/13, Bye little Ish, we barely got to know you.
BFP#3 EDD 12/21/13, Baby Boots born 11/23/13 My rainbow baby!
January PAL Siggy Challenge: Good Advice
rawr: I hope you can get your cycles figured out. And no worries on posting this check-in late, it's just nice to see you pop in!
Red: I'm so sorry. I can't imagine how defeated you and your DH must feel right now. Huge ((hugs)).
mlal: I really hope that this cycle is it for you. FX! I want to see you move over to PgAL!
KGS: I hope that the 20th comes quickly and you get a date for the ET soon. Waiting is so hard!
sammer: Just huge ((hugs)) for you. I hate that you are back, it's just no fair. And I think consuming large amounts of wine is perfectly acceptable in your case.
EK: Hi!
Roxycc: I'm glad that you are busy with wedding plans, but I'm sorry the depression is back. It's so hard to think how much time has passed and how many "pregnancies" could have happened. ((hugs)) to you.
Boots: I hope that everything moves forward for your April transfer. I wish that you could take that Hawaiin vacation, I'm sure it would do wonders for relaxing. ((hugs)) to you, I hate that you're back here.
Bookshelves: Good luck this cycle, the first one back after TTA is always a little nerveracking. I love your DH's take on ovulation.
I'll be thinking of you.
As for me, I'm doing really good. We're onto our 7th cycle TTCAL and after the mind f*ck last cycle was, I decided to take a complete charting break. I haven't even looked at my chart since CD1 and I don't know what day I'm on or anything. It's fabulous and I'm feeling so relaxed and zen. DH and I are having fun reconnecting and having sex just because we want to, not because I'm ovulating. And to be honest, right now I'm okay with not being pregnant and I"m feeling good with where we're at in our lives. I am fully aware that this feeling could disappear at any moment but for right now, I'm enjoying it.
