@lindsebert, thanks for running this as always. Did your headache get better? How are you doing?

I think I am 2DPO will know for sure tomorrow. We have had sex ED for the past 6 days, so hoping this will be a late Christmas gift.
just being with my immediate family brings me happiness

jlworden710 · December 2013

Hey @lindsebert! Hope your feeling better lady, and hope all is well with you!

As for me, for the most part AF came in like a wrecking ball with cramps and a few very "intense" days... But after 5 days like normal she peaced out. I am starting to get anxious and excited about ttc again... But a good anxious, I think

. The day my mc was confirmed I got a fortune cookie (see below) and as silly as it is, lately I've been trying to hold on to that positivity.
Otherwise pretty boring here... I'm going to START my Christmas shopping today @-)... We shall see how that goes....

Oh and we have no family traditions... We are a fly by the seat of our pants family... I should definitely start some though

@giants721 Fingers, arms, legs and toes crossed your HIO payed off

what an awesome Christmas gift that would be!!!

Giants721 · December 2013

@jlworden710 thanks!

how are you doing?

edited: sorry, posted before I read the whole thread. What a fantastic fortune! Stay positive, i will for you too!

hadley135 · December 2013

@lindsebert - thanks for the check in, hope you are feeling better!!

@Giants721 - fingers crossed for you!!

@jlworden710 - sorry AF gave you some bad days, but glad she has left!
love that fortune cookie! Good luck with shopping today, I am dreading finishing mine today.

AF was regular for me and ended about two days ago. One more AF and we can try again! I was having some moments of anxiety thinking about it, but hoping I can clear my mind next month and be excited.

QOTW - There is an ice rink in downtown Pittsburgh they put up every year around the tree. We haven't had a chance to go this year, but I usually take my two younger cousins there each holiday season. DH and I have some ideas for traditions we would like to have someday too.

@hadley135 I totally feel you on the anxiety... I'm on the same boat (you and I seek to be right about on the same schedule). I have been trying to be very positive... Which is strange for me because I'm usually a "prepare for the worst" type... But I've found the positivity has helped with the anxious ttc feelings... So I will add you to my positive juju

Thanks @jlworden710, I will take any extra positive juju you have!

Recovery is...going. It will still be another week or so until I can stand on my foot for much more than 5 minutes at a time. Needless to say, I am going a bit stir-crazy at this point. I don't get much change of scenery. My life right now is all about laying on the couch with this darn foot elevated and my laptop or phone in front of me. I'm back to work, but working from home until after the New Year as there is no physical way for me to be able to keep my foot elevated at my desk in my office. I can't wait for life to get back to normal!

QOTW: I think my favorite tradition is going to see a bunch of shows. We always see A Christmas Carol (which we're seeing tonight) and we usually catch Handel's Messiah and a musical as well, all in the weeks leading up to Christmas.

@holdingouthope I'm sending you "quick recovery" vibes!!! I can't imagine being "bed ridden" that long, that's a lot of TV for me... Or lots if book reading;) hope you've found some things to keep you busy! Hope you enjoy your musical and shows... And your time out of the house!

HorseLover11 · December 2013

Hi ladies I'm mobile today so I'm sorry for a quick update. I'm having all signs of o but no temp shift yet so I hope af just stays away and my betas went down quicker than expected

I'll be away next week and taking a mini bump break during the holidays most likely so wishing you all the best this new year has to come - lord knows we all need it!!!

Knottie1454621357 · December 2013

@lindsebert thank you I am feeling better, I started my first cycle since my d&c and I am one step closer to being able to try again, but the cramps... Oh my the cramps are painful at times! Hope all is well!

lindsebert · December 2013

@Giants721 - I hope your 2WW isn't too crazy. I have my FX super hard that you do get that belated Christmas gift!

@jlworden710 - What an amazing fortune. I've never seen one like that, but I'm certainly hoping your's comes true!

@Hadley135 - Glad AF has come and gone, and here's to hoping that this next cycle passes quickly for you as well.

@HoldingOutHope - I'm sorry you're stranded on the couch/bed for a little while longer. Sending vibes for a super speedy rest of your recovery. ((hugs))

@Horselover11 - I'm hoping that O happens soon for you. Enjoy your holidays with friends and family. Here's to a better new year for all of us!

@mireland89 - I'm glad to hear that you are one step closer to TTCAL, but I'm sorry to hear that the cramps are so bad. Hoping that goes away for you soon!

TVLily · December 2013

Hello ladies! How are you feeling @lindsebert? I've been thinking of you. I hope your headache is gone. @giants721 fx for you! @jlworden710 good luck Christmas shopping! I like your fortune! @hadley135 I hope this next cycle goes quickly for you too although I know the anxieties that come with it. @holdingouthope I'm so sorry you're still stuck on the couch. I had my hip replaced a few years ago and was pretty much glued to the couch for 6 weeks it's absolutely brutal! Sending you vibes for a very speedy recovery and in the mean time lots of distraction. ((Hugs)) @horselover11 I hope your o is confirmed soon! Enjoy your holidays! @mireland89 happy to hear your one step closer but sorry af was a witch. As for me af is cooperating and staying away! I am going to start the provera Tuesday night. So hopefully everything keeps going smoothly and I can get testing and a firm plan in the new year. Nothing new here just Christmas 2 of 6 tonight. Merry Christmas to everyone!!!!

kr_ry · December 2013

I am also mobile today. My chromosome testing came back normal so that was good to hear. I don't have the results of my MRI yet. We are also still waiting for my husbands chromosome test results. I hope every one has a great weekend and Christmas!

czarmom · December 2013

@lindsebert thanks for running the check-in

I'm late for the check-in as usual

Well, the wait is killing me and I think I've already given up hope for this cycle. I really feel as if I don't know my body since my mmc. I don't temp (which I will begin next cycle), but I do use OPK's and got a positive on cycle day 10 this month and BD'ing to cover the entire part of the week. Historically, I've had an average 27-28 day cycle. Tested this morning, BFN. I just feel that I'm probably out again this month and I'm devastated. I cried to my husband this morning, who said nothing is over until I get my period. I wish I had his optimism, but I just don't right now

Not a good day for me.

lindsebert · December 2013

@tvandewi - Good luck with the provera, and I too hope everything continues to go smoothly.

@kryan108 - I'm glad the testing came back normal. FX everything comes back fine from the MRI as well.

@czarmom - I'm sorry you're down. ((Hugs)) I know what you mean about feeling out. I'm right there with you.

Update on me girls - For the last few days I've been having really sore boobs, which I know can happen anytime, but the only time they've ever felt like this was when I got my BFPs. Yesterday I was also feeling nauseous, so DH definitely started getting his hopes up, and I even let myself a little. Then this morning, BAM, spotting. I should have known better, but it just sucks. I really thought we'd be getting a surprise Christmas present. Hope everyone has a great holiday and enjoys spending some time with family and friends.

czarmom · December 2013

@lindsebert ((hugs)) to you

TVLily · December 2013

@kryan108 I'm glad your chromosome test came back normal. I hope the rest comes back soon with good results too!

@czarmom (hugs) sorry your feeling down, it is definitely hard to stay positive sometimes.

@lindesebert so sorry for your body playing mind games with you than spotting! Sending you lots of ((hugs))

@tvandewi thanks for the support
