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
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.

Re: *~*~*~*May Flowers Check In*~*~*~* 12/15/14
AFM, my husband comes home tonight. Yay! Tomorrow we are taking a day trip to Hershey park. It's a yearly Christmas tradition, so I'm looking forward to it.
TTCALR: If this is not a positive cycle (and it's really really weird cycle what with the being sick for part of it and FF changing my CH's frequently), I think husband and I are taking a break in the new year. I'm not really sure when we would be starting up again, but this journey has been so long and so painful that we need the break. We started trying on our honeymoon, and in February we will have been marrried 5 years. It would be nice to be intimate without it being about conception.

Yay husband coming home! What is Hershey Park like for Christmas?
I hope this cycle surprises you but taking a break could be good. We've done that occasionally and just being together was much needed

Fx for your IUI!! Try and hold out as long as you can to test.
Congrats on the house! That is stressful but it will be worth it. Plus then you don't have to move for a long time!

Hi ladies, I've missed you all since our last check-in. @Km380, I'm so happy your egg retrieval went well! Thanks for keeping track of when to post this check-in also!
@Menrandes, I'm so glad your DH comes home, yay!!! Also, I'm so sorry that this has been such a long journey for you. A break sounds like a good idea.
@nikiswimr, I'm crossing my fingers for you and congrats on the house!!
AFM, I should O any day now. So I'm just hanging around trying not to be a crazy person. We put way too much effort into TTC this month. If this isn't our month, we definitely need a more laid back response for the new year. I feel like I've been approaching this like a sprint, when its really a marathon. Just really ready to get through this month and see where we're at.
NTTCALR: I got @Menrandes' Christmas lego set and ladies, seriously, its the most awesome thing ever. I had so much fun and feel like a little kid!! I already can't wait for next year to get a new set. Also, DH and I finished our fire pit this weekend. Its in the ground, so we had to dig it, put down the stone, and then spread gravel to make the circle. It was A LOT of hard work but so worth it. We love sitting by the fire outside, making smores, the whole shebang.
I'm feeling better this week, but I have a feeling its because I'm about to O and have something hopeful to look forward to. The same thing happened last month and CD1 was a big crash. I really, really hope the letdown is a little less dramatic this month especially since it may fall right on Christmas.

@Menrandes - Your Christmas tradition at Hershey Park sounds fun. Sorry you are having a tough time with the TTC journey. FX this is a positive cycle; if not I hope you and YH can take care of each other. Will you do anything special for your 5yr anniversary?
@nikiswimr - Congrats on the new house! Is this your first home? How exciting!
@linkloveszelda26 - Sorry work is slow. Bumping for money - that sounds like a new job I would like.
@welly01 - Good luck with the rest of this cycle. I hope if/when AF shows CD1 isn’t a total bitch. Thinking of you.
@katie0919 - Sending many warm thoughts your way. Sorry about the 1 yr mark.
@MellyMel15 - Good luck with all of the wedding planning! 10 girls - that is a lot! The largest wedding party I was in had 9, that was tough for me and I had no responsibilities other than to show up! I even offered to sit out when her hubs was complaining about the amount of girls…
I’m glad your sister seems understanding of your circumstances.
What are Potato latkes? I do Christmas - but Happy Hanukkah to you!
@cavewmn - sorry about the focus issues. I’m glad your incision is doing better. Sorry everything is so up-and-down. Hang in there! FX for your hubs interview.
@king26 - I’m glad your RE appt went well. Good deal on the OOP costs!
Sadly this cycle is a bust. Started spotting.
We've taken a trip every anniversary. Well, within a month of our anniversary.
We are still torn on what we are doing this year. edit....er next year I guess.

Hope you're all getting caught up in the holiday spirit! I just made cookies. As far as baby-making goes, I'm hoping I ovulated this time around. If so, I'll be on the crazy train for the next couple weeks.
