TTC After a Loss

Highs & Lows of the Week?

Hi ladies-

The board seems a little slow tonight, so I figured I'd throw this out there. My family used to do this at dinner each night.  Changing it to weekly version- what was your high for the week and what was your low?

Mine-

High- This cycle is seeming much more back to normal and I caught my perfect O timing this week- YAY! 

Low- had an enjoyable hair salon appointment today that was then ruined when a woman came in that I found out was way pregnant and only about 2 weeks behind where I should be right now.  Just made me start thinking about how I should have been wrapping up at work right now and finishing the final prepartions for our baby boy.  Hopefully my high leads to a HUGE high next week :)

How about you?

BFP #1- 4/2011; DD Brynn born 12/2011

BFP #2- 7/13; EDD- 4/2/14; Lost DS at 20 weeks (11/16/13) due to cord accident

BFP #3- 3/14; EDD- 11/28/14; Lost DD at 15 weeks (6/7/14)- cause unknown

To my angels- I held you every second of your lives and I'll love you every second of mine.

 

Re: Highs & Lows of the Week?

  • This is a neat idea!  I'll start with low so I can end on a positive note. :)>-

    Low: AF still has yet to be here and our crazy schedule at school because of state mandated testing made my kids and I crazy!  I was ready to pull my hair out. I teach kinder but our schedule changes do 3rd-8th grade can get testing done.

    High: I finished redoing my last couple portfolio items for my grad school portfolio and am just awaiting reviews now!  Graduation in May here I come!

  • High = dinner tonight with DH.   Chicken cordon blue, garlic roasted baby potatoes, and herb salad with champagne and fresh raspberries.

    Low = two nights ago when DH was so confident and convinced that we'd be able to conceive naturally, with no intervention, all in the name of staying positive.   I burst into tears.  I'm just at a point where I need to focus on IVF and not keep getting my hopes up every month.
    Yum on the High; ((Hugs)) on the low

  • @squeakyfrog15 Congrats on graduating in May, it feels so good, huh?!
    @sunflwra thanks!

  • High: The weather seems to be getting better. It rained all day today, but that will make it easier to work in the yard this week. And I got myself together and have all the stuff ready to do our taxes and got the dogs groomed. Plus, my hairdresser is letting me use a promotion where my cut and color will only be $50. Sweet.

    Low: I want my life back. I want to have sex with my husband and drink an Abita Strawberry (the best, we're totally hoarding it); be able to lift and move things. I want to go back to the gym. I feel fine. I've completely stopped bleeding and spotting, I'm physically feeling ready to move on. I know we can't TTC, but I'm ready to feel normal.

  • LOW: I've been having daily panic attacks for the last week or so. I'm sure they're the result of TTC again. They suck and they really really drain my energy.

    HIGH: Dh. He's awesome and really is my rock. He's been so patient with my crazy and treated me to some of my favorite pie tonight to get me out of the house and change my focus..
  • @pinkCamino
    (((Hugs))) I also deal with panic attacks and anxiety. After my dx, I asked my dr for a small script of ativan. Is that an option for you? I'm also a huge promoter of yoga for anxiety issues. I'm sorry. Anxiety sucks! Hopefully you'll jump back easily into ttc.

    I was medicated and I do yoga regularly.

    I'd prefer to try and control it without medication at this point.

    Low: being benched again

    High: DH and I are having a date night in, eating take out, watching my favorite movie, and having a drink.
    Being benched sucks so bad. I am so so sorry @Hawkward. So many hugs. FX the next few months pass quickly for you.

    Low: Bloodwork. I hate needles. And 20 vials?? That's just not right!

    High: Dh and I are leaving town in the morning. I cannot wait to go to our favorite hotel. Best part is this little spanish lady who comes in and serves breakfast in bed. She asks how I want my coffee before my eyes are even open!

    Eta @pinkcamino
    I agree with no meds. I've struggles for years, but the ativan really helped me get through a few particularly rough days. I hope you find peace through all this stuff
  • @snegde - ((Hugs)) so sorry that you are having a tough time- hoping things start looking up for you soon

    @hawkward - enjoy the drink!  Sounds like you've got a good hubby at home to support you :)

    @pinkcamino - I can't imagine that stress and how exhausting it must be. Sounds like you've got a great support system at home as well and I'm sure you are thankful for that.  Oh yeah, PIE IS GOOD :)

    I'm sorry you're having panic attacks, those are the fucking worst.
    Yup, they really do suck. It helps that I'm aware of what's going on so I can use some techniques my therapist taught me to calm down. But, they are exhausting and totally set the tone from the day. You don't just recover from a PA immediately - it ruins the whole day for me.

  • Lows: getting 2 wisdom teeth pulled and dealing with antibiotics and pain meds on top of my first Clomid cycle and its side effects = 4 days of feeling like shit.

    Highs: last week of accounting class! Got to eat real food today!

  • High: DH did his SA and blood work this week, despite his complaints about the awful porn they had. Now I don't have to harass him to get it done anymore.

    Low: I haven't been eating as well as I would like and need to get myself back on track.

    @PinkCamino-sorry you are having such a rough time. Panic attacks are awful. I've had to resort to Klonopin sometimes. It is pretty bad that I am a therapist and don't use what I teach sometimes. I hope things get better for you. ((Hugs))
