Bi-Weekly Wine and Cheese Party

sammer818 · June 2013

Wow. When you measure your life in 2 week increments, time really flies!

This is our bi-weekly check in, condensed version. Feel free to let us know how life is, you can b!tch, you can moan, you can complain, you can brag, you can cry, whatever you want. Please enjoy some wine and cheese...and if you are feeling adventurous, I included a 16th century wine press - in case you wanted to make your own Wink

I don't really have an update. Things came to a screeching halt withe the agency we applied with (they rescheduled us twice for our initial meeting, among other things) and we are kind of limbo right now. We have a potential lead on a surrogate and I'm crossing everything that it works out. It's just so hard to get my hopes up anymore. So, we are in the "wait and see" phase. Other than that, I'm just enjoying the recent bout of sunshine!!

Hi Sammer! Thank you for running the check-in. That stinks so much about the agency. I'm so sorry that they ended up being complete PITAs. I really hope everything works out with the lead you have and will keep sending positive vibes your way.

My update - I don't know what is going on with me. My chart looks like I O'd after I got that positive OPK but based on the u/s that I had the same day, completely impossible for O to have happened. Ugh. I don't know what to think if my chart "shows" O but I actually didn't. I'm still temping until I know for certain it's worthless.

Non-TTC - I'm still studying for the bar. Which means I'm tired and cranky Smile

DH and I are in Nashville this week looking at houses for our move. Luckily, he has to work during the day so I'm hanging out in the room studying.

Sammer: It sucks that agency didn't work out. I have everything crossed that this new lead will be a success!

buggirl: Good luck with finding a house!

mlal: Hopefully your cycles will get back on track & you will O at a normal time.

I don't have any new updates. I'm currently on CD & having a weird AF. I ALWAYS bleed through at least one tampon in an hour or two, usually 2 or 3 but this month I have only used about 2 tampons a day & haven't bled through a single one. I'm not complaining about it but I keep waiting for the flood to happen when I least expect it.

It would be real nice if this became my new normal but I have a feeling next month will make up for it. Thanks for running this thread, Sammer! The wine & cheese look wonderful.

sammer - I'm so sorry you're dealing all this bull from the agency. I have everything crossed that this lead plays out!!

buggirl - I feel sad that I am not your FF friend and I can't see your chart Can you friend me? :-P I hope you figure out what's going on soon, that's really frustrating. I hope studying is going ok, I know how much it sucks to study for those huge exams. When's the exam?

mlal - I keep stalking your chart every day and keep scratching my head. Something changed around CD26, the pattern is different - the temps are a bit higher but also more rocky. Hard to say. But at least you know you had good timing if you did O!

EKGibs - It's frustrating when your body changes on you, ugh. I hope this is your new normal and you don't have to deal with super heavy flow anymore.

lindsayhilleary - Sorry about AF I was stalking your chart like crazy and was so bummed to see AF showed up. Booooo. I hope you get good news from the SA so you guys don't have to worry about it anymore.

Update: Not too much. I'm having my surgery tomorrow. I have to be there at 12:30 - sucks to have a late appt, but hopefully everything will go smoothly. I'm really nervous, about everything. I won't know until after it's done how long we'll have to TTA, or whether I'll need to take any hormones or anything like that. It will depend on what they find and what they do. I just want this to be over so I don't have to worry about it anymore. I hope it'll go ok and that we won't have to TTA for too long.

(((HUGE HUGS))) all around!!

Thanks for hosting the party, Sammer. I'm pretty new to this side, but I've read about your agency woes. I'm so sorry the process has been so frustrating, but FX this new lead works out!

Bug- I'm sorry about the wacky "O" or lack-there-of. How frustrating! On a different note, good luck on the bar exam! When is the test?

Mlal- I hope your body can get it's sh!t together soon and you can save a call to your doc.

EK- Isn't it amazing how super aware of our bodies we have become? Before all this, I don't know that I would have even noticed a change in my flow. Hopefully this is your new norm!

Lindsay- I actually think it's really sweet that your DH is being proactive to do his part. I hope all his tests come back normal. Keep us updated!

MrsE- Tons of ((hugs)) and good vibes coming for your surgery tomorrow. I hope all goes smooth and your wait time to TTC isn't too long. Take care of yourself and let us know how you're doing!

As for me, I had my f/u with my OB today to discuss my RPL testing and SHG results. The long version is on the main board, but basically the tests were all normal. So now DH has to go for a SA, and if that comes back normal he's recommending Clomid. It was a lot of info to take in, and we won't know for sure what the next step is for a few weeks, but I'm glad that things are moving forward and we have a plan with options.

Non-TTCAL wise, still liking my new job! I've been there just over two weeks and and really starting to feel confident in what I'm doing. I really like everyone I work with too, which is always a bonus.

Hugs all around!

I take the Bar on July 30 and 31st which is starting to seem really, really close. Eek!

mlal - I like that you CHs are staying nice and solid and your temp went back up after that dip. Much, much better looking than last cycle.

EK - I'm glad AF is playing nice and WOOHOO! on your decision to adopt. It's something we will start looking at more seriously once we move and get settled in.

Lindsey - Your DH is awesome! I think that is great that he decided on his own he wants to get checked out.

Mrs.E - I am so very frustrated for you! I know how much you were wanting to avoid having your surgery in August or September but, on the positive side, I'm glad the doctor did not go forward with something they were not comfortable with. FX you get your new surgery scheduled at a good time.

Luna - FX that your DH's s/a comes back normal. I'm glad your doctor has a plan going forward.

Jenek - ((((hugs)))) you and your LO where in my prayers last night. I've been thinking about you a lot.

LLPtobe · June 2013

Hi everyone! (((hugs))) all around. I don't have too much to report. We're still TTA and will be for a long time. I can't remember if I've shared that here yet or not, but DH and I have gone back to our "orginal plan" from before our surprise BFP last year and subsequent loss. For us this means waiting until we're both in our 30s to TTC (currently I'm 27 & DH is 29). I'm good with it and am trying to focus on our life together just us and the doggies and doing fun things together like walking, hiking, and doggie play dates at the dog park. I'm also hoping to advance my career and recently applied for another position within my current employer, so FX that I get the promotion!!

sammer818 · June 2013

Bug - Good luck on the house hunting and on studying. I definitely don't miss studying at all!! I'm sorry your body is playing tricks on you. *HUGS*

Mlal - I hope you get some answers if/when you call your OB.

EKG - FX that this is your new normal and you don't have it twice as bad next month!

Lindsay - YAY for inlaws leaving. I hope your DH sperm analysis comes back just fine.

Mrs. E - How did surgery go? FX for a speedy recovery!

Luna - I'm glad your test results were normal, but at the same time, I know how frustrating that can be because you have no answers. YAY for liking your job!

LLP - GOOD LUCK with your new application for a job! FX it turns into an amazing opportunity for you! I'm glad you and DH are at a good place in regards to TTA. PS: I love stalking you and your adorable puppies on FB! Annie and Blue are just too cute Big Smile
