November Angels Check in (November 24, 2014)

**November Angels Check In (November 24, 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!

@Nikolie93 It looks like you have your first crosshairs. My type A part of my personality loves the crosshairs. I hope Thanksgiving goes OK with your family. I can't believe you are spending 2 weeks with your H's family. That is a long time.
@LittleMrsW the cabinet's look great. I hope you can get your health insurance figured out. Good luck with that!
@MrsKush1014 Did you get the HOA/fence issue figured out?
@Mcsarah1104 How is your testing going? I still can't believe the weigh-in is the day after thanksgiving!
@aswedishbee I am sorry you had a tough week but I'm glad the diet and acupuncture are going well. Hopefully AF is out of there for you this week and you can enjoy Thanskgiving.

QOTW: What are your plans this week? Sending hugs and love if they stress you out.

Hi Ladies,
It has been an eventful week here. I had my RE follow up on Thursday and had a +OPK that morning. U/S and bloodwork confirmed that but my lining was thin (7.5mm) so he recommended a trigger shot and vaginal estrace followed but progesterone supps after O.
We also had the best timing we have had since my loss so I am hopeful but trying not to get too hopeful.

QOTW: My Dad is having dinner here to fly out to florida tomorrow AM. My mom is already there with my Grandma. I am working out of town (1.5 hrs away/24 hr call) Thurs through Monday AM. It is a bit annoying but I'm glad I have an excuse not to do family stuff. I just don't want to deal with happy holiday crap since my EDD is this week.

Hey tlc35

FX for you! I know what you mean by wanting to be hopeful but not too hopeful. It's a hard place to be *hug*

AFM, I will be honest, I have NO freaking idea what the crosshairs mean $:\$ "> I have so much to learn still and I am trying my best but it can get a bit overwhelming. And I just can't be that person that says "read my chart, tell me all about it!" lol I am behind on a few of the FF lessons they send so maybe it will start making sense soon

I didn't do very good on my OPK's this time around. I just peed on one (because POAS withdrawls) and it was a line lighter than the control line. <insert shrug smilie here>

As for Christmas 2 weeks is waaaaaaay too long. The only good thing is that I will still be benched so I can drink all the alcohol!

QOTW: What are your plans this week? Sending hugs and love if they stress you out. I have to go home and clean since my mom decided to come a bit early and will be here tomorrow night. Thanksgiving is a small group this year but it's at my house so that's enough to stress me out.

*hugs* to all you ladies!

@tlc35 :: That is an eventful week! I also understand the whole “hopeful but not too hopeful” feeling … as I’m sure most of us do. There will always be that little grey cloud following us around … FX for sure and many hugs for you this coming weekend.

@Nikolie93 :: Overwhelming doesn’t even start to explain how FF was for me at first! I still have to check the key to see what everything means :-/ AND, 2 weeks of inlaws = alcohol consumption for sure!

AFM: AF has left the building so I am just patiently waiting until I start to pee on my CBFM sticks, which should be Wed/Thurs. My chart will be quite boring moving forward because I have decided to stop temping. I was becoming way to consumed and it became a hindrance more than a benefit.

QOTW: We’re hosting Thanksgiving and while the grocery shopping is done, the house preparation is not. We are totally slacking on clean up mode and I don’t even care, which is totally out of character for me. I never really quit drinking outside of my TWW so I’m letting it flow at my bday dinner and Thanksgiving!

The crosshairs mean you ovulated on friday (a textbook CD 14). Good luck with preparing thanksgiving!

Good luck hosting and drink all the drinks on Thursday. I hope not temping is less stressful for you!

Thanks for the check-in @tlc35‌! I can't help but notice how small are check-in is getting.
I totally get the hopeful/not too hopeful feeling. That's how I've been feeling a lot as of lately. Keeping my FX for you and I'll be thinking of you as your EDD approaches.

@Nikolie93‌ Once you get through the lessons, you will understand so much more. FF also has these "games" where you can interpret other charts, it was really helpful.

@aswedishbee‌ I'm in the same boat, AF just left the building so I will be having all the drinks on Thanksgiving. I recently quit charting and it's definitley helped me relax, I hope it does the same for you.
GL hosting Thanksgiving!

AFM, I met with someone who works for the CA exchange (the new Marketplace to purchase insurance). Right now it looks like my best bet is to get on MH's insurance. He isn't eligible until the beginning of January, but that gives me a little more time to look into it. It looks like they cover some diagnostic testing and that's mostly what I'm looking for.

QOTW: We still haven't solidified our plans for Thanksgiving, I'm just soooo not feeling it this year. I'm thinking we might end up going to my Uncle's to see my family and then to my BIL's to see MH's family. I just hate spreading myself thin.
I have a 4 day weekend so I'm hoping to finish up the vanity on my own. DH will probably have to work. He's been picking up a lot of hours lately, so I know he would aappreciate having 1 less thing to do.
