Waiting Room Wednesday- June 14

***General TW that this thread might contain discussions mentioning MC and loss.***
Welcome to Waiting Room Wednesday!
You can express your thoughts, feelings, and frustrations on not TTC and connect with others who are in the same boat. TTC can be a long journey, and having to wait makes it feel even longer -- even if it is for a good reason. I invite you to resurrect this thread at any point in the week if you have something to say. Treat this like an ongoing conversation.
Benched = involuntarily not NTNP/TTC and "out of the game," usually due to medical reasons
TTA = avoiding pregnancy by using protection or FAM, usually for non-health-related reasons __________________________________________________________________
Are you benched or TTA?
What brings you here?
How long do you think you'll be here?
How have things been going?
Any R/R?

Re: Waiting Room Wednesday- June 14
Are you benched or TTA? Still benched.
What brings you here? The conversation with you lovely ladies!
How long do you think you'll be here? Hopefully not past the end of the year. We've had to push it back a little because of some information about FMLA and all that (just in case we get KU on the first try and the baby is early... better to be prepared for all outcomes than not).
How have things been going? They're all right. We're making it work. Sort of.
Any R/R? None at the moment. Just always exhausted for some reason.
GTKY: What is your dream job? The one I'm currently on leave from >.<
I busted my butt to get hired on with Disney as a pastry cook, and now I can't do it anymore because of my back. My ideal job with them was to work at the Grand Floridian bakery on the wedding cake team. No idea what my "new dream" is now.

Are you Benched or TTA? TTA
What brings you here? Just waiting...
How long do you think you'll be here? Ugh! I wish July but I am thinking August
How have things been going? Lately the waiting has been a struggle. I am just tired of waiting
Any R/R? none other than the above...
GTKY: What is your dream job? I really would love to stay home with the kids but that's not in the cards so I would say that teaching is working out pretty well for me

Are you benched or TTA? TTA
What brings you here? Nursing school
How long do you think you'll be here? ~2 months
How have things been going? Decent. We're getting closer to our (hopeful) TTC restart month (August), and we've been talking about TTC and a future LO more frequently. Keeping everything crossed it's a good sign H stays up for starting in August like we've planned, but, also trying to protect my heart in case something comes up and we have to push it back again. I took the last few months off from TB and only lurked on occasion both because the app fails, and because it was a bit too much for me mentally.
Any R/R? Nada.
GTKY: What is your dream job? I'd love to work in Women's Health or in a fertility clinic as an RN, actually. If that didn't pan out for whatever reason, I'm pretty much open for any area as an RN.

@dreamscapes_ I'm so sorry you had to leave your dream job because of your back.
That must be really hard.
Are you benched or TTA?
TTA at the moment.
What brings you here?
Just biding time and trying to deal with baby fever while we wait to TTC #2!
How long do you think you'll be here?
Most likely until the first week of December.
How have things been going?
Been going okay. Haven't been posting or lurking as much lately because I'm trying to appreciate the pros of waiting to TTC (more time to lose weight and get in shape, more time to write) but I have been feeling sad about it this week. It's fine though, I know it's the right choice for us. I just may be sporadic posting for a while while I adjust.
Any R/R?
I want DD's teething to be over, lol. She's gotten six teeth in a row and we are EXHAUSTED.
GTKY: What is your dream job?
I want to be a full time writer, eventually, instead of just for fun. I write screenplays and am working on my first novel.
New to this board.
Are you benched or TTA?
TTA
What brings you here?
Feeding my baby fever.
How long do you think you'll be here?
At least 6 months, likely closer to a year. My DS was born end of June and we're revisiting the topic of a sibling when he's 18-24 months.
How have things been going?
Not awesome. I desperately want a 2nd and DH is staunchly one and done. Also I'm going to have a one year old in a couple weeks and that gives me all the feels.
Any R/R?
Not really.
GTKY: What is your dream job?
At this point, anything Mon-fri 9-5. I go back to work next month and shift work is going to suck with a LO.
DS2 due 12/12/18
