November Angels Check in (November 10, 2014)

**November Angels Check In (November 10, 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, which means that there will at times be BFPs listed here. On weeks when we do have a BFP to celebrate, you’ll see a warning at the top of the page, which is provided so you’ll have the option of scrolling past the announcement if you need to. If you do get your BFP, please PM me so that we can congratulate you appropriately in the next check-in.

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 jump in!

QOTW: What is you favorite Thanksgiving food?

@Nikolie93 Sending hugs for your EDD this week. I am hoping you AF shows up on time and this month passes quickly. I like temping because I know what is going on with my body and when to expect AF but since you are headed to the RE soon it is definitely optional.
@MrsKush1014 also sending hugs for your EDD tomorrow. I hope Duncan's biopsy results are good. Is anything else new with you?
@aswedishbee how is the diet/tea from your accupuncturist going? Good luck at your appointment this week. I hope you EDD this weekend is peaceful.
@littlemrsW how are you this week? Are you finding NTNP to be less stressful?
@McSarah1104 How is the renewed exercise program going? It is good to feel productive sometimes. I hope the emotional roller coaster isn't treating you to badly.

AFM: I went to a wedding this weekend and the bride got a stomach bug and missed most of the reception. I felt really bad for her. I drank too much but I don't care. They had transportation from the venue to the hotel so driving was not an issue. Plus I was CD 4 so no worries about TWW or implantation, etc.
I just scheduled my HSG for wednesday and I need to go get the rx for antibiotics filled now. My FSH was low and AMH was high which is good, but that combined with my late/irregular O makes me think that maybe I have PCOS type issues.

QOTW: All the carbs, potatoes and mac and cheese!

MrsKush1014 · November 2014

Thanks for the check-in @tlc35 and thanks for thinking of me with my EDD tomorrow. I'm taking tomorrow off from work, I don't have anything planned, just really don't want to be at work in case I'm emotional.

Duncan's biopsy came back and everything is good. It was non-cancerous, but abnormal, so it was good that we got the growth off. We're almost done getting our old house ready to rent, we spent all weekend over there painting and cleaning. I'm so ready to be done with it so we can just enjoy our new house. We haven't had time to unpack anything or hang anything up, so it still isn't feeling like home yet. Not to mention it is in complete disarray. I don't know where anything is and it's driving me nuts.

@tlc35, how awful that the bride had to miss most of her own reception! Sounds like you still had fun though! Hope your HSG goes well on Wednesday.

QOTW: Roasted squash dishes (I make a yummy squash gratin, but this year I think I'm going to make my sister's maple roasted squash dish, sooooo good). Also I love this broccoli casserole that my mom always made, she would only make it on Thanksgiving. And her butter braid bread, yum....I miss wheat.

@TLC35 - that is so sad! Miss the wedding she spent a year planning! :-( but sounds like you had fun :-D

@mrskush1014 - organizing all your stuff in the new place is the best part of moving! but it's a little less fun when you use up all your energy cleaning up the old place :-/ I hope you get through it quickly, just a little at a time helps knock it down before you know it!

As for me, I'm doing totally fine. The exercise program is slow. I need to really focus on my eating this week (AKA not eating every treat that crosses the communal treat table at work!) Did I mention last week that I signed up for a diet bet? I don't know what I was thinking, but I signed up for a diet bet, which means i have to loose 4% of my body weight by the end of the month. Fingers crossed.

QOTD: CREAMED CORN!!!!!!

@tlc35‌ FX fpr clear tubes. What's the next step after your hsg?

@MrsKush1014‌ I'm glad Duncan's biopsy revealed no cancer! I'll be thinking of you tomorrow and sending positive vibes.

@McSarah1104‌ What a month to pick for a diet bet. I'm rooting for you! There's no way I could do it with all the Thanksgiving goodness that's coming up.

AFM, DH and I just had a quiet weekend together working on our house. We are re-doing all of our cupboards and cabinets. It's a lot more work than we thought it would be, but so far it's turning out really nice.

NTNP has definitley helped me relax. Aside from being benched from my D&C this year, we've been actively trying since the beginning of 2013, so it's been a relief to say the least.

QOTW: My grandpa makes these delicious rolls that we only have on Thanksgiving, the recipe has been handed down for years. I always look forward to them.

MrsKush1014 · November 2014

@mcsarah1104 Good luck with your diet bet. I've done several and have only been successful at one of them. L-) Hope you have better luck!

@LittleMrsW I'm glad that NTNP has been helping you to relax, it really is so stressful TTC, especially after a loss.

Nikolie93 · November 2014

Thanks for the check in @tlc35‌ and hi everyone

I would be lying if I said I didn't want a pity party yesterday with my EDD coming up in a few days. AF already showed herself starting on Saturday and yesterday it was rough. I should understand by now that the first AF after a MC can be a bit emotional.

I took a big step and signed up at fertility friend yesterday! I'm going to buy a basal thermo this week, hopefully tomorrow. It's a quite intimidating to say the least but I want to get a head start before the RE. I haven't had time to do the tutorials yet and I'm still researching good basal thermo's. Lots out there!

*hugs* to all those with November angels. :x

tlc35 · November 2014

@MrsKush1014 glad things are going well with the house and the pup.
@McSarah1104 Good luck with your Diet bet. I don't envy that challenge during the holidays!
@Nikolie93 Try not to stress about temping. Just get the BBT and take your temp every AM, enter it into FF and it will do the work for you. I have a BBT from Walmart. The brand is Reli-on/mabis and it gets good reviews around here. You can also get it on amazon as well.
@LittlemrsW I'm glad that NTNP is proving to be less stressful and that the house projects are going well.

After the HSG I have a midcycle ultrasound with labs and a postcoital test next monday and will be meeting with the RE after that. Hopefully at that point we can come up with a treatment plan.

MrsKush1014 · November 2014

@{{hugs}} @Nikolie93 and all of you. We all deserve a pity party this month. This just sucks. As the 11th quickly approaches, I didn't think I would be all that emotional after all this time, but now that I am on the eve of my EDD I'm starting to feel like tomorrow is going to be really hard. Lots of {{hugs}}, wine, cheese, carbs, chocolate, etc. to all of us.

Nikolie93 · November 2014

Thanks @MrsKush1014‌ extra hugs for you!

aswedishbee · November 2014

Sorry for the late reply but this week has been nuts. I am experiencing major withdrawals from this new diet … so crazy to have the “carb flu” and I haven’t even cut out potatoes or rice (just not eating them a lot). AND they are still finishing interior items for the house [insert angry face here].

I think we missed our window of opportunity this cycle, so it’s nice to not be focusing on DPOs and temps for the time being. I’ve also been distracted because we are going to be fur-baby parents soon! We’re getting a miniature schnauzer and are going to see her in person for the first time tonight. She’s currently just over 3 weeks old and just over 1lb. I’m excited for this bit of positivity right now.

I hope you all are doing well, and know I have had all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

Nikolie93 · November 2014

@aswedishbee Sorry your house is taking so long. They should really just overestimate the time and have people happy when they are early instead of pissed when it takes much longer.

Congrats on the new furbaby! They add such positivity to our lives.

Enjoy!

TheAerialist · November 2014

@aswedishbee PUPPY!!! congrats! I hope we get to see some pics!

aswedishbee · November 2014

She's a cutie ... here's one from this past weekend, after her eyes opened:

everyone says she looks like a guinea pig right now, LOL
