Waiting Room Wednesday - June 28

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 28
Are you benched or TTA? Benched
What brings you here? BOTB and you ladies are awesome
How long do you think you'll be here? Until Tuesday
How have things been going? Things are going pretty good. TW **I got some bloodwork done and my HCG level is down to 34. So next week it should be down to 0. ** End TW
Any R/R? Nothing at the moment. It should be a busy week and weekend so the time will fly by!
GTKY: What is one thing you are good at? What is one thing you wish you were good at? I am very good at my job and I wish I was better at being creative.
Are you benched or TTA? tta
What brings you here? Hanging out trying to avoid lurking in BMBs
How long do you think you'll be here? Sigh, not sure anymore. I need to win the lotto
How have things been going? I need a vacation! My 17 month old has had a stomach bug since Saturday and I'm exhausted. She's finally getting back to normal. I did some hardcore Momming
Any R/R? My husband is the best and my rock. He's so good at taking me off the cliff when I'm spiralling about the future
GTKY: What is one thing you are good at? What is one thing you wish you were good at? I'm good at baking/I wish I was good at being more ambitious
@Krob- How's that not lurking BMB going? Just asking for a friend
Are you benched or TTA? TTA
What brings you here? The company and waiting for the timing to be right for us.
How long do you think you'll be here? I'm not sure - either Mid-July or August
How have things been going? Ok I have been busy this week so that helps. I am thinking more and more that I will TTC next cycle which will start mid-July.
Any R/R? My principal is on vacation this week so my lurking around the office to see about supplements was in vain
Oh well...
GTKY: What is one thing you are good at? What is one thing you wish you were good at? I am creative and do well with crafty things. I wish had an awesome singing voice.
@glitzandglitter - FX you decide to TTC next cycle!!
@ChloandCoco fingers crossed for you!
@glitzandglitter Thank you for the well wishes. Me too with the voice! I pretend I have an amazing singing voice in the car. The child looks at me and says "no, no" and shakes her head.
@KFrob I hope the kiddo feels better soon, and that you get some rest! What's your favorite thing to bake?
@glitzandglitter I really hope you guys get to start next cycle! When does your principal come back from vacation?
Are you benched or TTA? Benched still!
What brings you here? The conversation with you lovely ladies as we wait out these last few months.
How long do you think you'll be here? We're hoping to start in October or November!
How have things been going? They've been okay. *TW* Still waiting for my sister to have her baby, so that's been fun. Every time my mom calls, it's like "Is it time or do you just need someone else to talk to?" *end TW* I go back to work in about 11 days!
Any R/R? The AC in our apartment went out tonight, but we called our complex's emergency maintenance line and they had someone come out right away. They need to come back tomorrow to take care of something else related to it, which is fine.
GTKY: What is one thing you are good at? What is one thing you wish you were good at? Aside from baking, I'm good at writing and world building. I wish I was better at drawing. It would help me with cake design and things like that.

@kfrob Poor baby and poor mommy! I hope she's feeling better and you get a break. I'm betting she was born in January? I like to stalk the December BMBs because that's when my son was born. I've been good about this year so far and have only looked once or twice. Of course, now I'm thinking about it and will probably go check on them next.
Are you benched or TTA? TTA
What brings you here? I'm ready for a second kid, but I need to get my iud removed first. And DH wants to see what his theatre schedule will look like for the next year.
How long do you think you'll be here? Until next month, maybe? I haven't made an appointment yet for the iud, and I don't actually know when they'll be able to get me in. I also don't know how long it will take to get my body back to normal. I keep thinking as if I can get an appointment next week and then have a normal period a week later, but then I have to remind myself that either or both of those might not be true.
How have things been going? Pretty good. It took a year to get pregnant last time, so I'm eager to get going this time.
Any R/R? We're in the middle of this super fun heat wave and our swamp cooler broke again this afternoon. It's like 90 degrees in our house. And there's no shot at fixing it before tomorrow, so it's going to be a hot night. Here's hoping it's an easy fix and DH can do it tomorrow.
GTKY: What is one thing you are good at? What is one thing you wish you were good at? I am good at crafty stuff. I wish I was good at adult things, like cleaning and calling for appointments and stuff.
@KFrob - If you win the lotto, just remember that sharing is caring.
Are you benched or TTA? TTA
What brings you here? Nursing School
How long do you think you'll be here? Another 1.5 months, FX!
How have things been going? Decent. They were going great, and then I had an episode.
Any R/R? I had an incredibly realistic dream the other night that involved me being pregnant, and as a result I woke up and had a meltdown. I've had some BFP dreams in the past, but never "pregnancy" dreams, so it was different and hit me harder than it probably should have.
GTKY: What is one thing you are good at? What is one thing you wish you were good at? I'm good at taking notes. Short hand notes are my jam. I'm also really good at folding laundry, even though I don't like to. I wish I were better at explaining things, though. I tend to get off track and add in extra steps and things that aren't necessary.

@secretstapler - I suck at adulting too:/ I HATE calling and making appointments. Not really sure why it isn't that big of a deal but I will still put it off as long as possible.
@izza2 - I'm sorry that is rough
@dreamscapes_ Anything I like to eat! haha, I'm pretty good at pies. I usual end up making a ton of cakes for all of the family birthdays. I'm not a talented froster/decorator though. I'm a cake school drop out!
@izza2 About a month before my DD was conceived I had an extremely vivid dream that I was pregnant. I'm a fairly logical person but part of me feels like it was some sort of intuition that it was going to happen! FX for you!
@izza2 I'm sorry your dream hit you so hard
@glitzandglitter I'm definitely ready. I just haven't got my training schedule yet. They're supposed to email it to me, so if I haven't received it by Tuesday, I'm gonna call HR and ask about it.
@KFrob I'm the same, lol. I make things I like (or that people have requested). I have the stuff to make cheesecake, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. What kind of fat do you use in your pie dough?

@dreamscapes_ - I feel a little better. It was a little difficult to see babies at work today, and it usually isn't a problem. But I didn't break down so I'm counting it as a win.

And the swamp cooler is fixed! We just needed a new pump, so DH took care of it today.
@KFrob I like to bake, but I'm not especially good at it. And I hate the clean up after. My MIL just gave us a cookbook for sweetened condensed milk and 2 cans of it. I love sweetened condensed milk, and the recipes look really easy, but even with the air conditioner working again, it's just too hot to turn on the oven.
