Welcome to the October Check-In. This check-in is for anyone who has had a loss with an EDD in October.
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 so everyone can congratulate you!
Quote of the Week:
"Thanksgiving dinners take 18 hours to prepare.
They are consumed in 12 minutes.
Half-times take 12 minutes. This is not coincidence."
~ Erma Bombeck
Question of the Week:
What is your favorite (or favorites if you cannot narrow it down to one) Thanksgiving food?
Do you have a favorite Thanksgiving tradition (football, games, etc.)?

@Stephy1221- How are you feeling about the 2WW as it is getting closer to the end?
@Momentomori- Have you and H talked more about where to go from here?

@vesperlynch - Have you made any progress with your home improvements?

@meredithcarole Thanks for the check in!
@YorkieLove83 I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss but I'm glad that the house is giving you a distraction. I'll be thinking of you as you go through this.
As for me, I haven't been thinking too much about ovulating soon. For the first time in a long time I can't tell you off the top of my head what cycle day I'm on. Since we lost my boss two weeks ago, work has been crazy. I've been worried about so many other people that I haven't had time to worry about TTC. I just got around to ordering OPKs, hopefully they'll arrive quickly so I can start taking them!
QOTW: My favorite foods from thanksgiving is turkey and ham. I never have reason to cook a whole turkey or whole ham except on the holidays and I just think that they taste so much better on Thanksgiving!
I hope you all have a good Thanksgiving!

@meredithcarole have you started your new position at work?
Afm, I'm frustrated with my body. I'm at CD39 with no O. I'm torn between just giving up on this cycle and still not wanting to miss it if I do O. I'm going to keep temping so I can show my doc next week, but I feel like I'm just throwing away money (and hope) with all these OPKs.
QOTW: I love stuffing. It's the one thing I don't think I eat the rest of the year that just screams "Thanksgiving". Since this is my first gluten free Thanksgiving and I'm at my dad's house, I'm doing all the cooking. I ordered a gluten free stuffing mix on Amazon, and I'm using my grandma's recipe to fix it up. Since I'm at my dad's house (not my norm) we don't have any traditions. I'm hoping it goes well!
Good luck with the house! Keep us posted.
That "glorified rice" dish sounds almost like dessert! I bet it is good. =P~

Maybe having a break for the holidays from worrying about TTC is a good thing. I hope everyone is doing okay with your boss's passing. I am sure it is particularly difficult this time of year.
I think everything tastes better on a holiday! Happy cooking!

I am sure you are very frustrated with your body. How long were your cycles before you took the Metmorfin?
In answer to your question, I did start the new job. I have been in the position for 2 weeks, but I am on a week's vacation currently (so it is more like one week on the job).
I am sure your GF stuffing will taste great with your extra touches!

I am glad you made some progress! Hopefully the timing for your SHG works out okay.
That is really cool about the honorable mention for YH's acting as well as being entered in a film competition! Super impressive!

@daystardreams I hope work calms down soon.
@momentomori I hope you get your appointment. Maybe they'll be slower on the days they are open around the holidays. And congrats on the film festival! That's awesome!

Lol. Your story made me laugh.
I am so sorry that it seems AF is on the way. Even if you subconsciously didn't want the pressure of temping it doesn't mean you didn't want the result of good timing and the alignment of stars (because we all know timing is only half the battle). ((Hugs))

Good timing on the antibiotics! HIO, girl
