*~September Sapphires Check-In~* (Jan 5th)

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, 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 - How is your time back home going? It must be hard to keep up with gluten free/dairy free during the holidays. Is there anything else you’re doing in preparation for Feb 1st?

@LauraO11 - How’s the TWW starting out? FX that you were able to sort out the timing.

ashlee113085 - How’s the TWW treating you? How are things going with the new therapist?

@megrae12 – I’m sorry for CD1.

How’s your mom? Is she out of the hospital yet?

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

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

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

QOTW: If you had no responsibilities, where would you be right now. Bonus, what if money was no object?

I don't know why it's only showing two tags. @CallaLily30 and @ashlee113085 - did it grab you this time? <sigh>

megrae12 · January 2015

Thanks for the check in @eliida. I hope you had a good New Year.

CD1 is a beeotch. Oh well. At least my body is working? Mom is out of the hospital, but is still in a lot of pain from the stint. I hope they can figure something out for her, b/c it sucks that she is in so much pain. Ugh! I hate it for her and I hate being helpless to change anything. Bleh.

QOTW: If I had no responsibilities, I would be training my sister's horse. Nothing like horse therapy to make the world a happy place. If money were no object, I would have my ow facility where I could play with horses all day. Man, talk about stress free time!!

eliida · January 2015

Hi Ladies! Sorry for the late check-in. I was a wee bit confused if we were this week or next. Hope that you all are doing well.

AFM, MH and I officially hit our 2 year try-aversary. (This does not include any of the many months we flirted with the idea.) To celebrate, we decided to take a little break. We'll be TTA for two cycles before we dive back in. I'm actually feeling relieved not to worry about being let down for a little while. BTW - When did condoms get so pricey?

QOTW: I'd talk MH into staying home from work, turn both our phones off, and hide out watching netflix. If money wasn't an issue, we'd do this somewhere warm. ETA: It's 1 degree our today.

megrae12 · January 2015

@eliida I am sorry you hit your two year mark. It sucks a lot. I am glad you are happy with your TTA time, though. It is kind of refreshing to have a break and just breathe for a few. Enjoy it, hun!!

eliida · January 2015

@megrae12 Horse people are the best people.

I hope your mom's doctor's are able to start managing her pain better. It's agony to feel so helpless when the ones we love are in a difficult situation.

I agree, CD1 is a nasty wench. After my D&C I had a reprieve from the mind-numbing cramps, but now they are back and in full force. Like you said, I guess I should be glad that my body is getting back normal. Really, though, F that.

purplehaze11 · January 2015

thank you for the check in @eliida‌ . I hope the break is good for you and your H. I'm just coming off of a 5 month break (not self imposed) but I do admit it was nice just to focus on getting healthy and living, rather than count downs and analyzing every twinge in my body.

@megrae12‌ sorry for CD1 and that your mom is in pain. It's so hard when our loved ones are hurting.

As for me, so far so good. We had good timing for us this cycle, and I'm back to work from the holidays today, and swamped, so I should be distracted most of the week. I'm just sitting down now for the first time all day (at 7PM). I actually prefer the TWW to waiting to O. I know I've done everything I can, so now it's just staying busy elsewhere,

megrae12 · January 2015

@LauraO11 FX for you this cycle. I like the 2ww better than waiting to O. It's much less stressful!!

ashlee113085 · January 2015

Thanks for the check-in @eliida!

@megrae12 Sorry about CD1! I'm glad that your mom is out of the hospital, but I hope that they figure out something to ease her pain.

@eliida Sorry that you hit your 2 year mark. I hope that the break is relaxing for you and YH. Also, it has been so flippin' cold!! It's not as cold down here as it is in Chicago, but Wednesday the high temp is supposed to be 7 degrees.

@LauraO11 FX for you this cycle!! I wish I could relax in the 2ww, I feel like that's when I really let my crazy out because it's all I am thinking about.

AFM, the 2ww has been okay. I am finally back at work so that will be keeping me busy. I finally got a library card so DH and I went to the library and checked out a lot of books. I am excited to get to reading. I currently am starting Divergent because I love YA lit and a lot of my students have read it. I haven't been back to my therapist since before the holidays since I can only see her on Saturdays and she has been out of town. I am scheduled to see her on Saturday though.

QOTW: If I had no responsibilities I would go to my grandparents' farm and learn how to take care of the cattle and the land. I also really want to build a tiny house on their land because I am curious if I would be able to live in that small of a space.

CallaLily30 · January 2015

Hi Sapphires! I had a wonderful two weeks at home with my DH and my puppy over the holidays. It was nice and relaxing and so great to be at home. We finally got everything worked out and DH was able to relocate with me. He started his rotation yesterday so the three of us (DH, me and the puppy) moved our little family to VA (temporarily) on Sunday. It was stressful but its so nice to be together!

I definitely let my diet slip over the holidays but I'm back on in in full force now (as of yesterday) in prep for my FET. My RE is a big believer in the diet but my last FET still ended in a loss so I'm not sure that the diet is the answer for me. However, I am giving it another go since we are investing all this time and money into the FET so I might as well try everything. My last day of BCPs is Friday and the prep starts next Tuesday. It feels surreal.

QOTW: I would definitely be in Hawaii if I had no responsibilities and money was no object. Its my favorite place on earth.

eliida · January 2015

@LauraO11 FX so hard for you. I see what you mean about the TWW being less stressful. I usually am pretty relaxed until the last day or two. That's when the symptom investigators take over my brain.

eliida · January 2015

@ashlee113085 It must feel good to be getting back into your regular schedule. I've heard great things about the Divergent series - enjoy!

I heart tiny living spaces. Once you get organized, it feels streamlined and free! In South America our house was around 200 square feet. (Perhaps this is a slight false representation, though, because we had a ton of open and covered outdoor space.) Before that, we shared a 375 sq foot apartment.

eliida · January 2015

@CallaLily30 YAY! I'm so happy to hear that you all are reunited! I've been working on my diet, too. On the one hand, it's nice to be in control of something (anything). On the other, it sucks.

I'm so hopeful for your upcoming FET. Please let me know if you need anything.
