~ Welcome to "The Bench" ~

A place for those of us who have to delay IF treatments, for whatever reason! 
If you've been benched - come on over, have a seat, there's plenty of room!


Newly Benched? Welcome! Here's some questions for you below :)

1. What brings you over to the bench? 

2. How long will you be staying with us?

3. How do you feel about being benched?


With us last week? Update us on how you're doing, whether it's IF related or not :) Remember you're one week closer to being off the bench!!


QOTW: What's your Favourite TV shows?

    Hi ladies!

    Nothing new to really report. 2 weeks tomorrow until DH's SA, 4 weeks until RE app.

    Sigh .. I want off the bench already! 


    QOTW: Grey's Anatomy, been watching it since Day 1! Also DH got me into Supernatural when we started dating.

    1. I benched myself due to all the migraines, constant heat (I wish they were just flashes), bilateral sciatica, upper back pain, and nonstop crying and anxiousness from Clomid.  AND because my "team" forgot to order my HSG during that, my first cycle on Clomid, so we didn't want to proceed with expensive medications + IUI again until we know for sure my internals are wide open.  (first assisted cycle, but TTC for 26 months now)

    2. I'm staying for this cycle, plus maybe next cycle.  I haven't made up my mind about trying Letrozole yet.

    3. At first I was pretty freakin pissed due to the office's incompetence, but I'm glad for a breather now that it's upon me.  My HSG was totally normal, so my hope meter went up a smidge.  I've been doing a lot more yoga and meditation which has done wonders for the anxiety and sadness in general.  I watched a very uplifting YouTube video about regaining faith in my fertility and I may just want to try a couple natural cycles between any medicated+IUIs for the rest of this journey.


    QOTW:  Gray's Anatomy, Once Upon a Time, Inexplicable Universe
    TTC April 2012 
    BFP: Valentine's Day 2015!!!

    I missed last weeks check in, but I am still benched.  I finally got a positive OPK today, so at least I know my body is doing something post loss.  During the time I spent temping I normally ovulated the day after a positive, so if all is normal then I should expect AF on or around the 12th of July.  Still not sure if I'll be benched another cycle  or not.

    QOTW:  My all time favorite TV show was Buffy. I have the DVD's at home and still watch it once and a while :)  My current favorite show is probably Parenthood.  I also like Blacklist, Bones, and True Blood.

    Me (29): Hashimoto's, CD3/7DPO bloodwork & ultrasound normal, HSG & SHG(x2) all clear

    I finished all my BCPs and I'm waiting for my period. As soon as I start I'll go in for a baseline and if my cyst is gone, I'll be off the bench! I took my last BCP on Tuesday night, so I was really hoping I would start my period on Saturday. Maybe it will be today (Sunday)?? I'm not even spotting though? :-??

    QOTW: Currently it's OITNB. I also love Survivor, but it's not on right now. I'm not a huge TV watcher though.
