This is a weekly check-in for women who have suffered the loss of a November Angel. If you would like to be added to our group, please reply to this message with your screen name, EDD, and date and stage of loss. Women with loss dates in November are also welcome. Please also tell us a little bit about yourself and your TTCAL journey so far.

As time goes on, it is only to be expected that there will be graduates. Lurking on PGAL isn't something I'm always able to do, so if you get your BFP, please don't assume I'll see your intro there -- please PM me so that we can congratulate you!

**General Updates: How are you doing? Any appointments or other updates you’d like to share?

**Shout outs: If you aren't listed, we missed you last week. Please, just jump in!

@irons633, How is the testing going with the MFM? Any news on your job interview?
@LesliW, I don’t like the looks of that temp drop today. ((HUGS)). Have you gotten any answers about that lymph node you were having checked out earlier this month? I’m thinking of you and hoping for good news.
@maupjen, Looks like you’re 11 DPO… how are you feeling? FX that AF stays away for you, love.
@sarcaztic10, How’s it going with temping this month? If you feel like doing so, please feel free to post a link to your chart or send me a FF friend request so I can stalk you!
@ssheffey27, welcome to the November Angels check-in. How are things going this week with coming off of depo? Any other updates you'd like to share?

QOTW: I know we all have solemn, sad memories from the past year, and this New Years Eve we’ll each honor them in our own way. I also know our TTCAL community is full of strong and amazing women with much to be proud of. So, this is your chance to brag. What’s something that you accomplished this year? Don’t be humble—tell us what you’re proud of so we can celebrate with you.

Last but not least,
*WARNING -- BFP below.* The section directly below, bracketed with ===='s, contains an update on a new November Angels grad.









=================================================================================

Congratulations, on your Christmas BFP, @RedTwizzlers! Wishing you a happy and healthy 9M over on PGAL.

    My update: I started Letrozole on Friday and today will begin Follistim injects with the goal of doing my first IUI this cycle. I'll have an U/S on Friday. Please keep your FX that we'll see some good, mature follicles and are able to move forward. 

    Also, we learned this week that DH has high prolactin which may be caused by a benign tumor. The good news is that this is likely easily treatable and it may also be the source of his ED. So, we could have some hope of resolving that without continuing to need Cialis/Viagara. We should know more after his MRI on Tuesday.

    QOTW: I am proud to say I just had a great performance review with my boss and got a significant raise. We also discussed ways he sees my career developing in the year to come. It feels good that my boss consistently recognizes that I'm good at my job. I work hard at it.

    @heymrspotter FX to you for Friday!! I'm also glad there is something to be done for your husband.

    So far no signs of AF. I typically have night sweats and some spotting by now. I had spotting day 8-10 but it has stopped. I plan to test tomorrow morning at 12 dpo and in 2014! My official test day is Friday. My hubby reluctantly scheduled a urology appt for the end of January. I also forgot to tell you ladies he finally got a job in KC. He's been just doing freelance since we moved here in July. Yay for some stability, security, and benefits!

    QOTW

    This year I did something very difficult and moved away from home to take my first job as a pediatric nurse practitioner. I have grown so much as a person this last year. I've changed a lot both for the good and the bad.

    Congrats again @redtwizzlers !!!

    @heymrspotter thank you for running the check-in! FX for you and DH! grow follies grow! 

    I am doing well with taking my temp every morning, I only missed one day so far because I was running late and literally had to jump out of bed get dressed and go to work. Link to my FF chart is in my siggy now! 

    I think I am going to get a positive OPK today or tomorrow as I usually O on day 13 or 14 pretty reliably. I will wait until FF gives me CH (or 3 days after O whichever comes first) to start my progesterone. I am eager to see when my temp actually shifts in relation to when I get a positive OPK. 

    I did not accomplish much this year between being laid off and moving. The only thing I have to brag about was that all I had to do to get a new job was type out an email to the people I used to work with (now I work with them again) to get a job. I had to move for it, but I guess not many people can just pick up a phone or type an email and have a start date a few days later. 

    ETA: just saw the update above
    I just sent you a FF request. Thanks for the well wishes. I hope you O soon -- even when you know you've O-ed, it's always a relief to see those CH's. Is this your first time using progesterone after O? I'm set to start using it this cycle, too. As for the new job, that is indeed an achievement. Clearly, you are a bad-ass with a serious network!

    @maupjen, I'm loving all the positive news in your update today. FX for your testing plans tomorrow. And, I'm glad your H agreed to see the urologist. For MH, he was anxious beforehand, but even though he's had some not-so-good test results he still feels better about taking the step forward and developing a plan. I hope YH gains the same. Congrats on his news job, and on your career progress this year, as well!

    I was on progesterone last month and the side effects drove me crazy. I wasn't charting last month though only using OPKs. 
    That's what I thought re: the progesterone. I'm kind of dreading those side effects you mentioned. I'll be a few days behind you in starting that, I think. So, at least we'll suffer together? 

    ETA: Will you keep temping after you start the progesterone?

    Hi@HeyMrsPotter!!
    FX for you this cycle! Sounds like things are progressing for you!! Yay!!
    Congrats on that review and fattie raise!!! Woot woot!!
    @ssheffey27 Welcome to the Nov board!!!
    @RedTwizzlers, again big congrats!!

    @LesliW, I don’t like the looks of that temp drop today. ((HUGS)). Have you gotten any answers about that lymph node you were having checked out earlier this month? I’m thinking of you and hoping for good news.

    I know. The temp drop bummed me out. I knew it was coming. I have a heart wrenching recurring mc dream for last 4 months the day AF comes. Puts an extra blah to the whole thing. At least I got to drink copious amounts of wine last night...
    I will go ahead with testing now that AF is here. They wanted to hold off. I may be out this cycle depending on timing. I have a CT, lymphnode biopsy (surgical), mammogram and possibly bone marrow biopsy, depending in repeat bloodwork. Sooo...hopefully they can sow quick so I don't sit January out! Priorities! ;-)
    This year...well I got married!! Woot woot!!! Small sweet ceremony with my big sweet husband!! Other than that it's been quiet on the accomplishment front!!!
    Have a great week everyone!!!

    Me (40) DH (45); Started dating 2-24-12, Married 5-13-13

    @LesliW, that dream sounds awful. Given all the other hard things about TTCAL, it's really not fair when even our dreams can be painful. I'm sorry, hun. ((HUGS)). I'm glad you got to enjoy some wine, anyway. I hope your testing gets done quickly and that all will be well. Keep us posted, OK? I'll be sending good thoughts your way.

    "Small sweet ceremony with my big sweet husband..." that's just about the most romantic thing I've heard in a long time. I didn't realize you were still newlyweds! Marrying your true love is an accomplishment of a lifetime and definitely something to celebrate. Belated congrats to you and YH!
