~~~~May Flowers Check in~~~*~ 11/18/14

Km380 · November 2014

Hello my May mommas

I hope your week is starting off right
Please update us on what is going on with you both TTCAL and NTTCALR. Please feel free to PM me anytime if you are having a tough week.

or if you get a BFP. xoxo
I'm sorry no individual check ins again this week. I meant to post this last night and do it but some stuff got in the way. Sorry
BFP At end, please skip if you are having a rough day
This is a check-in for anyone who had a loss or an EDD in May (of any year). I am so sorry for each one of your losses. I hope that this can be a place to give support and help each other through this difficult time. Members, give us an update on how you are doing. If I didn’t tag you with specific questions, it’s only because we didn’t hear from you last week (or for a few weeks) - please jump back in. Please pop in and let us know how you’re doing even if you don’t have time to respond to everyone individually this week! New members, introduce yourself so that we can get to know you.

If you get a BFP, please PM me and let me know so that we can congratulate you on PgAL. I try to lurk on PgAL often, but sometimes it’s tough and I might miss it. Please send me a PM also if you are taking a Bump Break.

nikiswimr · November 2014

Wow, I'm never the first to post!
Thanks @Km380‌ for starting the check-in. Any updates on your cycle?

TTCAL related I'm still in the midst of a long anovulatory cycle post loss. I have my first appt with the new RE that is closer to where I'm living on Friday. I'm hoping it works out well that this cycle is going nowhere so I can start anew with Provera and a plan after that appt. FX I don't have to repeat all the testing.

NTTCALR: I found out yesterday I passed the first two (of four total) board exams I've taken! Waiting to hear about #3 then I take the last exam beginning of December.

mustlovedogs63 · November 2014

Thanks @km380 for the check in.

I am still not over the miscarriage it seems. Bleeding heavy again for the last two days and passed more tissue yesterday six weeks after taking cytotec originally. I'm not sure if this nightmare will ever end.

welly01 · November 2014

@Km380, thanks for the check-in. My screen name has changed, I was previously Scout336.

TTCAL - Today is my last, last follow-up (hopefully) post MC. I'm very much hoping to be off the bench tonight! I've kept up with my temping and I *think* I may have gotten a very light OPK this morning. I haven't even had AF since my MC, so I'm really trying not to get too hopeful and excited. I'm just ready for things to get back to normal and start trying to move past this.

NTTCALR - Nothing really. Its cold outside? Lol

welly01 · November 2014

@mustlovedogs63, I'm so sorry you starting passing tissue again.

TashaCN · November 2014

BFP (not mine) mentioned

@km380, good morning. Last week I was wonderingwhatmyfutureholds. Today I am ScubaDiva30. I do not plan to change my name again. Sorry for all of that.

Anyway, things are going okay for me. Just hanging out in the hell that is "wondering when AF will show up". Stupid. It's been just over 4 weeks since my D&C so I guess this is a good exercise in building patience.

Other than that, I was out to brunch on Sunday with a good friend. She informed me that her sister-in-law who in the past has always said "I don't want to be a mom. I won't have children" is now pregnant and due in May. Apparently she decided she wants to have children in June and now has the same EDD month as I (we) did. While I'm happy for her, I'm finding it a little unfair in this universe of ours.

I have to run to the dentist now- but plan to follow up with you all later. Have a great day!

nikiswimr · November 2014

@cavewmn‌ I feel you on FF. It's totally confused about what's going on with my body. Yay for sit ups in December!

@mustlovedogs63‌ I'm so sorry this is never ending. Can you push your MD for an ultrasound? Happy birthday and I agree with @cavewmn‌ I would be drinking all the wine.

@wellybug‌ FX that O is coming and you get the OK to burn the bench!

KM380 Thanks for running the check in. How are you doing?

AFM My incision decided to get an ingrown hair. Weird I know.....I am waiting for that spot to heal up. If it doesn't in a week I might need to go see the doctor.
Right now FF can't pinpoint when or if I ovulated. AF is suppose to be here Saturday. That is if my cycles have returned to some what normal. Next cycle I will add in CM and hopefully that will help. Just trying to get use to the app slowly but surely. lol
Also I am weirdly excited that I get to do sit ups once December comes!!!

Ouch I hope that heals! I am not good with ff, I have no advice there sorry. Hopefully your cycle is close to normal

Oh hon I'm so sorry. It's awful when the physical part drags on. What does the dr say? (((Hugs)))

Is it your bday? Happy birthday. Hope you have all the wine and cake

I thought I had changed your name, sorry about that.

Ugh I'm sorry ((((hugs))) This is all shitty and unfair
I hope AF shows for you soon

Km380 · November 2014

AFM first of all I'm sorry for the crazy formatting up top. Technology hates me.
My cyst is gone and I finally got +opk which means Monday I start an estrogen patch to prep for my IVF cycle. Hopefully no more set backs! I'm having a rough time in general (see TP) but I'll do my best to respond. Next week will hopefully have individual check ins and not crazy formatting.
(((Hugs))) for anyone that needs them

At my D&C, she had told me we could start having unprotected sex again two weeks after (which was yesterday), but I need to clarify with her again just to make sure.

Km380 · November 2014

@wellybug she may want you to at least wait for AF. It's good to check.

nikiswimr · November 2014

@km380 I hope everything goes well this cycle! Sorry you're having a rough week

EIsieMae · November 2014

@nikiswimr, congrats on the 2 exams that you've passed already. FX for the remaining 2. And sending you lots of positive for a good appointment with the new RE.

@cavewmn, FX that your cycles return to normal!

@mustlovedogs63, I'm so sorry to hear that you are still dealing with this. I hope it ends soon. ::hugs::

@wellybug, FX for a good follow up appointment today!

@TashaCN, I hope AF shows up soon for you. And boo to the dentist:/

@Km380, Yay for a +OPK and the cyst being gone! FX for no more setbacks for you.

EIsieMae · November 2014

Hey everybody! Hope you are all having a good week

TTCALR- I had my post-op u/s yesterday, to make sure I had passed all the remaining tissue following my d&c. My OB had an emergency at the hospital, so I didn't get a chance to talk to her about the results. But the u/s tech said that everything looked good, in her opinion. So I'm feeling pretty optimistic that the methergine did what it was supposed to last week. I'm hoping to hear back from my doctor today or tomorrow to confirm what the u/s tech said.

NTTCALR- DH found a house in Saint Paul that would work perfectly for us. We are waiting for the background check and credit check to come back. We should know by this afternoon, and am really freaking nervous about it. I'm nervous that this will fall through and I won't get to spend the holidays with my DH. But if this does work out, then we will be moving into the house over Thanksgiving weekend. And the thought of only having a week and a half to pack and entire house, and drive our entire life 10 hours north completely overwhelms me. I'm just ready for 2015, when life will hopefully be a little calmer.

Menrandes · November 2014

@Km380 Thanks for the check-in. I'm so sorry that things were sucky yesterday. I totally get it about hope holding you together and then losing that hope. **big hugs**

@nikiswimr I'm sorry about your anno cycle. They do suck.

But congrats on the passing two of the exams so far! That's fantastic!

@cavewmn FX that that spot heals up soon!

@mustlovedogs63 **huge hugs**

@wellybug FX about burning that bench!!

@ScubaDiva30 It does seem at times that the universe is unfair. *hugs* FX that AF shows soon.

@EIsieMae Hopefully the house works out! Hoping 2015 comes soon and is calmer for you!

Menrandes · November 2014

Hey everyone.
On the TTCAL front, just in a new cycle. AF is a freaking bitch this month. I'm actually curled up on the couch right now with pretty severe cramps.
Our bill came back from the RE and it insurance covered it as well as covering most of my husband's SA (which came back normal). We were told insurance wouldn't cover any of it. So, I think we are going to take a chance and get my testing done. Unfortunately with scheduling conflicts, that wont be happening until January at least.
NTTCALR stuff...
I'm still feeling pretty hopeless, but I am looking forward to the holidays anyway. We have 13 people coming to Thanksgiving, so that's a bit overwhelming. Then my husband is going to Puerto Rico for a week and a half in a few weeks. I have anxiety issues, and I'm am already feeling anxious about being alone for that long. On the other hand, I have a hunch I'll get more cleaning done in this house than I ever have!

Hope you get good news from the dr! I hope the med worked.
Fx for the house!!

Ouch I'm sorry AF is being such a bitch. I'm so glad you can get testing done though! Even if it is a wait that must be a relief

Hi ladies! (((Hugs))) to those who need them this week. Sorry I'm on mobile and the individual responses are hard to do!

AFM: my first post MC AF came and went. So now on to NTNP for as long as I can handle it. I'll still do some charting and track things other than temps, but yeah, not trying too hard yet. I'm going to wait until the new year when things calm down a bit.

It sounds like a good plan through the holidays. I hope you find it doesn't stress you out

MellyMel15 · November 2014

I'm doing OK for the most part. It's amazing how I get triggered by Facebook, though. Saw another announcement today and am starting to believe everyone I know can have a baby besides me and my DH.

I'm pretty sure I'm ovulating (I get a telltale cramp on my left side), but can't do anything about it. My DH and I decided to wait until I get one more normal period. So I'm just hanging out on the bench and hating people.

Km380 · November 2014

@linkloveszelda26‌ yay burned bench! Are you going on vacation or just off from work?

MellyMel15 · November 2014

Thanks, @km380. I appreciate the company.

EIsieMae · November 2014

Yay for burning the bench @linkloveszelda26‌!!

Menrandes · November 2014

@Sterling13 Good luck with the NTNP! That can be a very good thing sometimes. At least it's more relaxing and less stressful!

Menrandes · November 2014

@linkloveszelda26‌ Woo!!! Congrats on burning the bench!

MellyMel15 · November 2014

@linkloveszelda26 Thanks for commiserating. I've hidden a bunch of people too-- either people who are pregnant or who post pictures of their babies non-stop. It's awful. Congrats on burning the bench, though. Best of luck.

welly01 · November 2014

Just burned the bench!

[Deleted User] · November 2014

I tested yesterday at 13DPO and of course it's a BFN. I had hoped it wasn't but it looks like I'm keeping my RE appointment in December and will be gearing up for IVF #2 here early next year.

Glad your cyst is gone @km380 ! Goof luck on this cycle!

Accidental love tit sorry! I'm sorry you got a bfn (((hugs))) When will you go in dec? Hopefully it's early so you don't have to wait

nikiswimr · November 2014

@elsiemae I hope the house works out for you! We're looking for a new house right now as well

@menrandes FX your insurance pulls through and covers your testing! Sorry about AF

@sterling13 good luck with (sorta) burning the bench!

nikiswimr · November 2014

@linkloveszelda good luck this cycle! Yay for burning the bench (@wellybug awesome that you got to burn the bench as well!)

@king26 sorry for the BFN

@mellymel15 sorry you're having a tough time. FB is seriously the worst.

ChanelA · November 2014

Thanks for the check in... I'm currently fustrated with my opks, maybe I just don't know how they work hopefully I will O soon. This is my last chance to try if not we will be benching ourselves for personal reason till august. I'm really praying that this won't be an annovulatory cycle.

I'm mobile so I can't see if you temp and have a chart linked. Waiting on OPKs can be frustrating, I'm useless if you temp but the crazy train can be really helpful. Fx for O!

EIsieMae · November 2014

@nikiswimr‌, Thanks! Good luck to you guys on your house hunt too

welly01 · November 2014

@cavewmn, I'm glad he's getting switched to a new office and I'm sorry he's had trouble finishing. Not a fun problem to have.
