Re: TTC a Rainbow Sibling (July 3)

  • Thanks for the check-in @BookishMomma! I hope things get less crazy for you. Also, GL in your 2WW! 

    AFM I am in the end of my 2WW. I have tested 3 times (9 DPO, 10 DPO, and 13 DPO) and all were negative. AF is set to arrive sometime today and if she doesn't show I'll test Saturday to be sure. If I still get a negative I give up testing and will just wait for AF. Hugs to any ladies who need them this week and FX to those waiting to test!

    QOTW: We generally go to our local parade and then either host or go to a friend's BBQ for the day.

  • As for me, I'm 7dpo. I think today was my last day of temping, it makes me to crazy during the second 1/2 of the 2WW.  Thankfully this long weekend will help me take my mind off it!

    Opinions on drinking during the 2WW? I'm not a big drinker anyways so it's usually not an issue, but I may have 1 drink at a bbq tomorrow (if they have something other than beer and wine).

    QOTW: We are going to a BBQ tomorrow, we will probably see a parade and maybe fireworks over the weekend.

    This is going to be a quick one for me ladies. I only have a few. My dr appt monday looked good. I had big follies (20mm and 22mm) and I was triggered. So I'm technically in my 2ww :) I have my fx for all of you that are in it with me! I'm not testing until July 15th, so I have quite a ways to go....Heres hoping I can hold out! :) I just wanted to say Hi, and I hope everyone has a great day, and a wonderful holiday! Big hugs ladies! :)

    @mara005 7dpo! yay! Can't wait to see your results. FX for you, lady. I don't think one or two drinks would be awful right now. I would do it, honestly. Enjoy the bbq!

    @sarcaztic10 sorry about being benched :( I hope that you get scheduled at the right time and can get back to ttc asap! :)<3

    @nieko0423 sorry about the bfn's lady! :( big hugs!

    @bookishmomma you're in your 2ww too? I knew you got your opk, but didn't know if you were actively ttc again immediately or what your plans were :) I'm so happy for you! I have my fx for you! <3

  • @mara005 and @sarcaztic10 I'm doing OK, thanks for asking. I'm really frustrated with my body at the moment. I decided not to go in this week for my weekly beta draw because I seriously think I will flip out if it is at 5 or 6 (it was 7 last week). So I'll just put it off until next week. My hormones and mood are a mess and I'm stressed out about the deadline for my next book. I think I'm really trying DH's patience.

    Thank you for the checkin @BookishMama. I apologize for not being around lately. To be honest, seeing BFPs is difficult for me. I'm incredibly happy for those who get them but it just reminds me that I don't have one yet and it's hard. I had to take some time away for a bit while I sort through my feelings and while we work on our TTC plans. Also, work has been kind of crazy lately so I didn't have much time anyway. Things have died down though for now so I'll try to pop in more often.

    Here's what's going on with me: my RE has recommended Femara w/TI so we are trying that this cycle. I took 5mg on CD3-7 and I went in for a scan this morning and doc says it looks like my body is responding to the medication because he saw 4 follicles starting to form on my right ovary. I will go in again on Saturday to check progress but for now it looks good. I've heard great things about Femara so i'm hoping it works for us. We'll try the Femara w/TI for a few cycles and if we still aren't able to get pregnant then we'll think about moving on to IUI.

    @nieko0423 Thumbs down to the bfn. Hugs!

    @mara005 Good luck! I'm still in drink till it's pink territory.Not saying go crazy necessarily, but I wouldn't worry at all about a holiday beer.

    @sarcaztic10 Sorry about the delay. I'd be a little bummed too.

    @bookishmomma FX you stop turning those sticks pink very soon and move forward. It's so frustrating.
    @rslh10 Good luck lady!
    @kj808 hugs

    Not much happening here. AF did show up again, so I'm hopeful when I go again for a beta, it will finally be negative and we can start some basic rpl bloodwork.

    QOTW: I'm a fireworks whore. Sometimes, I like to picnic inside and watch them on tv.

  • @bookishmomma thanks for the check in, hope you get some R&R time soon

    @mara005 I am in the "drink until it's pink" camp. FX for you.

    I am still waiting to see what happens with this job I am going for. Interview went great, they told me I am the front runner but had another candidate to still interview. As of yesterday they are still reviewing their options.

    Normally for the 4th we go to the town fireworks show. Due to hurricane Arthur things are cancelled/postponed this year. Having my Mom and Bro over for a 4th of July/hurricane party.
