*~September Sapphires Check-In~* (Dec 15th)

***You’ve probably already noticed that TTCAL has changed the schedule for check-ins. The Sapphires will now post on the first and the third Monday of the month. The goal of these changes is to encourage more interaction on the main board, so please do not bump this thread throughout the week if you have an update. PM me, hang on to it, or throw up an AW if the mood strikes you. Thank you all for being so flexible!***

This is an open check-in for those with a loss of a LO and/or EDD in September of any year.

~NEW MEMBERS~ If you are new with a recent loss, welcome and (((hugs))). I’m so sorry for your loss and that you find yourself here. I hope you’ll find that this is an amazing place to give & receive love and support. Please introduce yourself and be sure to include your loss/EDD to be added to the list.

~CURRENT MEMBERS~ Happy Monday ladies! (((hugs))) to all who need them!

*********************************************************************

~RECENT GRADUATES~ If you have gotten your BFP and have graduated, congratulations and have a H&H 9 months! Please PM me the great news as it is sometimes very difficult for me to check PgAL. If you get your BFP after the check-in is posted, then I will add it to next week’s check-in.

If you don’t see your name below, it just means that we missed you last check-in. No worries, just give us an update.

CallaLily30 - Any sign of AF? You must be excited to get back home this week. Happy travels!

LauraO11 - How was the big party? Good luck tomorrow on your surgery. We’ll be thinking of you!

ashlee113085 - How’s the TWW treating you? Did you get the report back on YH’s SA? I saw in your thread from the other day that your doctor is hesitant to schedule the HSG. FX that gets sorted out soon.

megrae12 – Have you and YH decided if you want to start the new protocol yet or keep NTNP for another cycle? How’s Ripley?

*********************************************************************

UPDATE: Update us on appointments, cycle days, struggles, successes, non-TTCAL news and everything else in between.

*********************************************************************

QOTW: Do you collect anything?

thanks for the check in @eliida. How are you, love?

megrae12 – Have you and YH decided if you want to start the new protocol yet or keep NTNP for another cycle? How’s Ripley?

We are going to NTNP this cycle and possibly a few more. We had a talk at CD1 (bad timing H) and he wants us to take some time for ourselves. I am freaking out about it, but I understand where he his coming from. We shall see how it goes. He is super optimistic he can knock me up w/o meds. I am just going to let him believe that.

Ripley is great!! She has come a long way since we got her and her manners are much better. We still have to work on some things, but overall, I am happy and she is happy. She is not a morning dog, however. It takes her a while to wake up, which is perfect b/c I am not a morning person either. We are both sluggish and grumpy in the mornings. H laughs at us.

QOTW: I used to collect Barbies. I haven't gotten any new ones in years, but I have a lot of collectible ones.

ETA: I always forget the QOTW!!

ashlee113085 · December 2014

@megrae12 That's so good that Ripley is adjusting to her new home!

@eliida How is everything going with you?! Hopefully it's not too cold in Chicago!

So far the 2ww has been okay. I have actually been not stressing about anything. Being monitored by the RE this cycle as been nice. I got the results from my 7dpo blood draw and DH's SA...and everything looked great! So that's good news. The HSG situation is starting to really get to me because my RE keeps telling me it's a matter of insurance, but I called my insurance and they told me that they would cover it for diagnostic purposes as long as all of the blood work was done. We will see. My therapy is going really well, too! It's been so nice to have someone I can just do my ugly cry with for an hour. After my last couple of appointments my sister has done my hair and nails so that's always nice. on the NTTCAL front, I am getting ready for MH's family to come over for Christmas this weekend....hopefully it isn't too bad.

QOTW: I don't collect anything now, but I used to collect Christmas ornaments.

eliida · December 2014

@megrae12 I'm sorry for the terrible timing of your discussion, but glad to hear that you were able to talk about it. I hear you about the freaking out. The taking some time for yourselves part seems sensible, though. I hope that you two are able to enjoy it. Sometimes I worry that I get so wrapped up in TTC that I don't give my marriage the attention it needs.

Non-morning/sleepy dogs crack me up. I love that you and Ripley are on the same schedule! We dog sat for an earlier riser a few months back and I thought I was dying.

eliida · December 2014

@ashlee113085 I'm so happy to hear that you are taking good care of yourself. That's really goofy about your doctor and the insurance stuff. (Perhaps he's been yelled at after someone was denied coverage?)

Are you cooking for this weekend, too? Have fun!!!

eliida · December 2014

AFM, for whatever reason this CD1 just devastated me. I've been such a mess - which is annoying because I finally started to feel like I had a handle on all of this.

This afternoon I had an HSG. As it turns out, what I had a couple weeks ago was (I think) a SIS (US with saline). Today I had the one with the dye that checks the tubes. (My RE's office calls them both HSGs.) Anyhoo, it was uncomfortable, but not terrible. Now I feel crampy and worn out. My right tube was clear, my left side had a slight blockage. Once I hit my TWW MH will get his SA and then we'll meet with the RE to develop a plan. <insert booming sound>

QOTW: I pretty anti-knickknack, but I love me a good magnet. I also like to bring souvenir Christmas ornaments home from travels.

megrae12 · December 2014

@eliida ((Hugs)) sweetie. CD1 is always hard on some level. I am glad that everything was all clear with the HSG. I assume they were able to push the blockage in your tube out? I am glad it wasn't to terrible. My HSG was HORRIBLE, but I only have one tube, which they said made it a lot worse. That the whore's speculum they used, I digress.... Take some time for you right now. I know it's hard, but you will appreciate it later, trust me.

ashlee113085 · December 2014

@eliida ((hugs)) CD1 can be so difficult. I am glad to hear that your HSG went okay and everything is all clear!

eliida · December 2014

@megrae12‌ I'm sorry your HSG was so nasty. I think they were able to push through the blockage - hence the pain. The procedure wasn't by any means rushed, but there wasn't time for a ton of questions. (They only do HSGs Monday afternoons.)

I think that you're right about taking time for ourselves. I working on it. {sigh}

CallaLily30 · December 2014

Hi ladies! I'm late to the party as always. AF finally showed on Sunday after a a 50 day cycle. I thought I was never going to get there. Due to scheduling issues, my FET couldn't be scheduled until 2/1. That seems forever away! For now, I'm hanging out on BC through the holidays until FET prep can get started. I've been a little lax on my gluten free dairy free diet so I definitely need to get back into it to prep for the FET.

I'm heading home for two weeks tomorrow morning and I couldn't be more excited to spend the holidays at home. Thankfully, we finally got everything straightened out for my DH and my puppy to relocated to VA with me. After New Year's we will all be living in VA together for a few months.

eliida · December 2014

@CallaLily30‌ Woo hoo! I'm so happy to hear that things are turning around. I'm sure that February seems very far away, but I'm just thrilled to hear that your FET is on the schedule! Safe travels!!!

purplehaze11 · December 2014

Hi ladies, I'm sorry I am responding so late, I am just catching up on the bump now. My trip was great, albeit crazy (3 days total round trip), and then I headed in for my surgery the next morning. The surgery went.... I don't even know how to describe it. A fibroid the size of a clementine had been found in October, and was believe to have been the cause of both my losses. I took 3 weeks of a shrinking medication (out of 3 months), before opting for surgery. Anyways, fast forward to Tuesday, I'm under anesthesia, a full OR, and the OB cannot find the fibroid (he went in vaginally). So, wtf? He has no idea what happened, he reviewed the scans again before he came to see me, he says he looked around my entire uterus to ensure it was smooth, and the meds must have worked. He is taking us off the bench. I'm petrified. This alien, that is believed to have caused two losses, is still there, somewhere. They grow with hormones, so undoubtedly it will be back- unless it was misdiagnosed in the first place? Ack...
