Thank you for the check in, skategirl128! I am officially no longer TTA! My FW falls right around our wedding, so we will see how it goes

What was the high/low of the week?
High: Just enjoying this time of year - I love it!

Low: Nope!

Any TTA related frustrations? Not anymore!

Anything that you're looking forward to this week? Getting to go back home to Massachusetts for the wedding/Christmas!
QOTW: what are your favorite holiday cookies? I'm a big fan of anything that combines mint and chocolate, and I also LOVE sugar cookies with crushed candy canes!

EIsieMae · December 2014

@agpjt413‌ and @jms627‌, yay for burning the bench!

Any updates from the week? Still unpacking from the move, and adjusting to our new area. CD1 was yesterday, so there's that:/

What was the high/low of the week? High-finally getting to enjoy time with DH after being separated for 7 weeks. Low-feeling like I'm getting nothing accomplished with unpacking:/

Any TTA related frustrations? I feel easily frustrated, in general. And CD1 sucks, even when TTA. Hoping next week is a better week.

Anything that you're looking forward to this week? Getting some Christmas shopping done.

QOTW: what are your favorite holiday cookies? I'm starting my baking and love to hear what others do. I love Mexican wedding cakes! They are my favorite:)

Nikolie93 · December 2014

Hello ladies! Congrats to those burning the bench. Have fun HIO and good luck, I have my FX for you!

Any updates from the week? No updates from me on the TTA front

What was the high/low of the week? I finally got over my upper respiratory infection and enjoyed 3 days of sex with MH before AF came to town! My low was that I started to feel anxious about my upcoming RE visit. I am a bit scared to see what they find...or if they find nothing at all and the 3 MC's can't be explained.

Any TTA related frustrations? No, to be honest it's been a little nice. I didn't realized how crazy I got during the 2WW

Anything that you're looking forward to this week? Finally getting my hair done! It's a big, hot, mess lol

QOTW: what are your favorite holiday cookies? I'm starting my baking and love to hear what others do. I love to eat ALL the cookies! I don't do the baking though

My favorite are these brownie type cookies that my mom used to make, they have powered sugar on top. Mmmmmmmm

CC1017 · December 2014

Hi Ladies,

I am new to the TTA check-in. I lost my daughter Grace at 17 weeks on November 17. I'm not sure how long I will TTA. I have an appointment with a high risk specialist at the end of the month and will see what she recommends in terms of additional testing. Even if she gives me the all clear, I might still wait a little bit. I have a big big work project next November, and I don't want to screw up my career by being out of the office on maternity leave. But that's one of the things I struggle with most. I like to make plans and I like to be in control and this experience has taught me that my plans don't mean shit!

Any TTA related frustrations? All of the uncertainty associated with it is very frustrating. Plus I'm trying to figure out when I can get busy again. My loss was 3 weeks ago and my bleeding stopped for a few days, then I had one day of spotting. It's kind of off and on now.

Anything that you're looking forward to this week? Hmm. Can I tell you what I'm NOT looking forward to? Our Christmas party is on Saturday. I wanted to cancel, but my husband wanted to still do it. It's mainly all his co-workers. I'm just not feeling very sociable right now. I think I'm just really awkward to be around at this moment - you know how it is when nobody knows what to say to you, so they just kind of skirt around the issue?

QOTW: what are your favorite holiday cookies? I'm starting my baking and love to hear what others do. I like sugar cookies. The kind where you roll the dough out and use cookie cutters.

SHAYD12 · December 2014

I am new here so I figured I would join in. But I have not made a formal intro yet.

Any updates from the week? I am waiting at my follow up from the miscarrage appointment now

What was the high/low of the week? I hate the nurses at my doctor. The last two times I come in. They keep saying things like oh how exciting your pregnant.. Blah blah blah and I'm like yeah except I'm miscarring. Then they shit up and realize they should of looked at the file before just running there damn mouth.

Any TTA related frustrations? I have to wait one cycle after the miscarriage but I guess not knowing how long it will even take to get my af is a little disappointing. Nothing I can do though.. Just wait it out.

Anything that you're looking forward to this week? I am trying to stay positive but this week has been hard. We are starting the Christmas festivities. And we leave next week to go home for the holidays. We haven't been home in over a year and having spend Christmas with family in 3 or 4 years. I am excited but I don't really feel mentally up to dealing with family. I feel like it's going to be ruff. Trying to be happy but it's not working out in my favor. Lol

QOTW: what are your favorite holiday cookies? I'm starting my baking and love to hear what others do.
Mmm cookies. I love all cookies. My grandma makes butter balls (I don't know why they are called, I guess because they melt in your mouth like butter) I love those and sugar cookies.

Hi all, it's T-8 days until surgery for me. Nervous, scared and impatient for it to be over and get this alien out of my uterus!

purplehaze11 · December 2014

I can't wait to have a timeline for burning this bench too... I'm such a planner this part has been brutal

Nikolie93 · December 2014

@LauraO11 I hope the 8 days goes quickly and your surgery goes well! *hug*

forevermyfenix · December 2014

Thanks for the checkin @skategirl128!

Any updates from the week?
Not really too much to update on. Getting back to the grind after the Thanksgiving Break from internship and busilly preparing for the next and FINAL school semester. It's going to be so strange not having classes and school assignments to do! Graduation is in May, so here begins the final countdown.
What was the high/low of the week?
High - DH is cautiously thinking about burning the bench sooner than Feb. He's gone back and forth on this, so I'm trying not to put too much stock into it, but, I'm so very glad that he's getting ready.

Low - Nothing really too low going on over here

Any TTA related frustrations?
Not recently. Soon I'm going to be weaning off of the antidepressants, so that might be a frustration, but I haven't taken them for very long and always at the lowest dose so I don't think it'll be too difficult.
Anything that you're looking forward to this week?
The stillbirth support group here is having a Christmas get together tomorrow. Hooray for no cooking for me!
QOTW: what are your favorite holiday cookies? I'm starting my baking and love to hear what others do.

I wouldn't say I had a favorite holiday cookie. My step-mom makes fudge every year though, and her peanut butter fudge is the best!

skategirl128 · December 2014

Yay for bench burning @agpjt413‌ and @jms627!

@elsiemae CD1 sucks no matter what. Glad you're settling in to your new place.

@Nikolie93‌ good luck with your upcoming re visit. Big hugs!

@readinglove I'm sorry you were sick! Those peanut butter balls sound amazing! Care to share your recipe??

@CC1017‌ I'm so sorry for your loss! Big hugs! Welcome- although I'm so sorry you are here!

@SHAYD12‌ I'm so sorry for your loss. Big hugs! Welcome although I'm sorry you are here too.

@LauraO11‌ yay for surgery almost here! Good luck love! So many hugs!

@forevermyfenix‌ yay for almost graduating! I'm glad you'll be burning this bench soon too!

schuebja · December 2014

Any updates from the week?

Last week, my weekly HCG was 5.8, which is almost negative. My OB wants me at less than 5 to stop my weekly draws. I'm hoping this week will my last weekly, so we can start the 6 month wait.

What was the high/low of the week?

My first AF post D&C came last week, so that was good. DH had the stomach flu yesterday, so that was a low.

Any TTA related frustrations?

I'm just frustrated that it's taking so long for my HCG to drop. I'm so grateful it's dropping like it is, but I just wish it get to 0 already. We cant't even start our 6 month wait until I'm considered negative, so as of now, that's putting us out until June 15 to start TTC again.

Anything that you're looking forward to this week?

Hopefully finishing up my Christmas shopping.

QOTW: what are your favorite holiday cookies? I love making cut out sugar cookies. I'm hoping to make some this weekend.

@agpjt413 and @jms627 Congrats on burning the bench ladies

@Elsiemae Boo to CD 1! Glad you were able to spend some time with your DH.

@Nikolie93 Glad to hear you finally kicked that respiratory infection. Good luck with your upcoming RE visit.

@readinglove Hope you are feeling better.

@CC1017 Welcome. I'm so sorry for your loss

@Shayd12 Welcome, I'm sorry for your loss.

@Laurao11 Good luck with your surgery.

@forevermyfenix Good luck with your last few weeks of the semester. What degree will you be graduating with?

skategirl128 · December 2014

@schuebja‌ fx your hcg drops further! Waiting is so hard sometimes! Big hugs!

schuebja · December 2014

Thanks @skategirl128‌, I really appreciate it!

EIsieMae · December 2014

@agpjt413‌, it went surprisingly well. Our cat actually ended up doing better than our dogs. And he seems to love the new house:)

jms627 · December 2014

CC1017 and @SHAYD12 - Welcome, and so sorry for your losses.

@lauraO11 - Wishing you a speeding recovery with surgery!
