/|\ November Angels Check-in 2/11 /|\

HeyMrsPotter · February 2014

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

As time goes on, it is only to be expected that there will be graduates. If you get your BFP, please PM me so that we can congratulate you properly in the next check-in. (Lurking on PGAL isn't something I'm always up to doing. When I do, it’s jarring to run across check-in members who’ve moved on with no word.)

Housekeeping: I’ll be traveling starting next week Tuesday through March 1. I’ll have limited internet access at times. I’ll still plan to post the Tuesday check-ins, but please forgive me if it takes me a little longer than normal to reply.

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

Shout outs: If you aren't listed, we haven’t heard from you for a week or two. Please, just jump in!

@LesliW, Your chart has me thinking you are gearing up to O soon. How are things going for you this week?
@irons633, How have you been doing?
@amanda040, The activities you’ve planned for Vegas sound like a lot of fun. I've driven over Hoover Dam but never been inside. How soon do you leave and how long will you stay?
@bigboneded, Congrats on a very productive week last week. What did you think about the acupuncture? And have you come to any decisions about seeking fertility treatments and/or any further testing?
@sarcaztic10, I’m sorry for CD2 ((HUGS)). Did you fare OK on your second EDD this weekend? Sending lots of love your way.
@mara005, So glad to see that AF came promptly for you! Are you still planning on NTNP this cycle?
@redtwizzlers, I see you have CH’s--congrats on your good timing! How is your studying going? When do you take your boards?

QOTW: What’s the furthest you have ever traveled from home (home being wherever you were living at the time)? Where did you go and why?

RedTwizzlers · February 2014

Hi there! I've been stalking your chart like crazy, heymrs!

I did get CH, I think they're right but it looks like FF will change them if my temp stays up. Whatever. I might stop temping after a few days, we'll see. I'm leaving for the US on Monday and take one exam on feb 25. Still haven't gotten a date for the second.

QOTW: we went to Singapore to visit a friend who was living there at the time. We took a side trip to Kuala Lumpur.

amanda040 · February 2014

Hello!

@HeyMrsPotter safe travels to you!

@RedTwizzlers fingers crossed for your exam on Feb. 25!

As for me nothing new. We leave for Vegas the 24th of February and are there until the 28. The nice thing is there is a time difference so we will have all Monday afternoon and evening!

QOTW: Las Vegas for trips. I am not a huge traveler I just go my husband. I am absolutely terrified of flying and have a full on anxiety attack. People usually laugh at me and stare, they just don't get it!

Hi, @RedTwizzlers. Yes, I stalked you on CT today. Even if the CH's move, your timing still looks good. Feb. 25 isn't that far off! How are you feeling about the test? Also, that trip sounds great. I am envious of your travel experiences.

AFM, I originally resolved not to test until CD14. My RE's clinic warns against testing before CD14 because of the risk of false positives. They seem to assume that the ladies they treat don't understand much about their own cycles and can't figure out things like testing out a trigger shot. But I did test out my trigger on CD7, and the HcG was gone then, so any HPT+ after this would be legit.

So I'm going to test a day early, on Friday, because we will leave for Mexico on Tuesday. If I waited until Saturday and then did happen to be lucky enough to get a positive, I would only have enough time for one or maybe two betas 48-hours apart before we leave. But if I test on Friday morning, I would just be able to get in 3 betas.

I'm getting ahead of myself a little here, as you can see.

QOTW: I think the furthest I've been from home is Aruba. We went there once on a cruise and returned for a land-based vacation a few years later.

HeyMrsPotter · February 2014

I'm sorry Friday was rough. @sarcaztic10. ((HUGS)). Your co-workers need to stop being so germy so that you can feel better! I understand your feeling noncommittal about FF's VIP subscription. I remember buying the 6-month VIP membership thinking I'd surely be KTFU before it expired. Of course, I've been back on the free version for 2 months now.

I just can't bring myself to resubscribe to VIP again.

@Amanda040, I'm sorry flying is such a challenge for you. But, once you're there, I hope you'll have a great time. Vegas is one of our favorite vacation places, too.

mara005 · February 2014

Hello, thanks for the check in!

I think I've decided to just temp this cycle. I am so crazy about this one tube thing, I feel like I can't waste cycles, even if we do it kinda half heartedly.

QOTW: I went to France/Germany in high school. We travel a good about but not usually more than a 6 or 7 hour plane trip from NY.

@HeyMrsPotter - FX for a + on Friday!
@sarcaztic10 - I'm so sorry about AF's arrival, huge ((hugs))

LesliW · February 2014

Hi @HeyMrsPotter!
FX for you this week!!!
I'm waiting to O now. Waiting for temp shift, and enjoying not having a dr appt or taking someone to one!! Woot woot! It's the little things...
QOTW...I went to Belize on a cruise for my 10 yr anniversary with my ex. It was beautiful and want to go again!!

HeyMrsPotter · February 2014

@mara005, temping always makes me feel like at least something is in my control. I hope it's helpful for you to get back in thee swing of it.

@LesliW, I'm glad life is calmer for ou this week. I hope you O soon!

irons633 · February 2014

@HeyMrsPotter I'm doing good. Getting acclimated back to day shift and training new people. Happy to no longer have an angry vagina

My doctor prescribed me the vitamins I wanted so ill be starting those in a couple weeks. I didn't get one of the jobs I applied for but I still have the others so hopefully we shall see. All in all I'm in good spirits and we will begin TTC in April. Hope all is well with all of you!!

Bigboneded · February 2014

I started FF, don't know how to share the chat. Don't know how to do a siggy.... (smile). Mobile challenges. @heyMrsPotter I liked the accupuncture! I am back today for more. Still coughing from my pneumonia, but saw a doctor I work with-who gave me some new stuff to try. Hopefully it will be gone sooner. ... happy Valentine's Day, Y'all!

HeyMrsPotter · February 2014

@irons633, I'm glad that life is getting to be a bit more normal or you these days and that you're in good spirits. April will be here before you know it. FX that one of those jobs comes through.

@bigboneded, I hope those new meds work and you feel better soon. Congrats on getting started with FF. You can share your chart by going to FF, clicking on "Sharing" at the top right, and then selecting "Get code." Then you can copy and paste the code here. I'll then send you a friend request so I can keep up with your chart.

As for how to create a siggy, @ktlovess is one of our awesome Siggy Rock Stars. Click on her name here and it will take you to her wall, where a tutorial has been posted.

My update today: I got a big BFN today and AF had the nerve to arrive even though I haven't yet stopped the progesterone supps. My RE's office still has me taking the progesterone until I test tomorrow at 14dpIUI, but it's pretty clear to me today that this cycle is a bust.

LesliW · February 2014

Oh, I'm sorry @HeyMrsPotter for AF and BFN... Big Fat (((Hugs)))

angelaclev · February 2014

Well, today was my EDD. I had a valentine dinner at my church that I was in charge of so that took my mind off of it today. Now that is done and I am thinking about how I should be having my baby. Over all though I have done well.

HeyMrsPotter · February 2014

@angelaclev, welcome and ((HUGS)). I'm so sorry about your loss in November and the EDD now. I'm glad you ha pd something to help take your mind off of it.
