Re: TTCAL Check In Week of 8/14/17
2. Status? CD11
3. R/R? Silly but I can't wait for fall tv to start again. I need some new tv to watch.
4. GTKY: With summer almost over what are some last minute plans you have before fall starts? Trying to soak up as much sun as possible!! I am not ready for summer to end BUT I am excited to decorate for fall.
3. I've been all sorts of bloated for the past couple of months (thanks, hormones?), and I'm so irritated that I feel like I still look about 16 weeks pregnant or so. Usually I don't care about that so much, but given the circumstances I *really* don't like it. WTF, body, just go back to looking normal, please.
4. Our only other plans for the rest of the summer is that H and I are going to DragonCon in Atlanta over Labor Day weekend and we could not be more pumped about it. Our geek is strong...
@sprkls8506 Yes! Fall decorating is the best and totally makes the end if summer worth it!
2. Status? 8 DPO
3. R/R? 1 week left in TWW hurry up please
4. GTKY: With summer almost over what are some last minute plans you have before fall starts? I want to paint our deck railing sometime before it's cold
@sprkls8506 I love decorating porch for fall
@vlagrl29 happy BD!!!
@rosemaryandthyme I've never heard of dragoncon
2. Status? CD22 7DPO
3. R/R? even though I have no students back to work has started for professional development
4. GTKY: With summer almost over what are some last minute plans you have before fall starts? Another BBQ and wedding dress shopping with and for my baby sister
@shri929 I def need to get to yankee candle for some fall candles!
2. CD 1
3. CD 1. Totally sucks but not surprising.
4. I'm jus trying to spend as much time at my moms pool in the sun as I can. DH and I have also enjoyed having breakfast and coffee outside on the weekends. So I plan to do that as much as I can before it's just too chilly out. I also love fall candles and smells. It's the only thing that helps me with the transition!
2. Status? CD 9. WTO. But benched.
3. R/R? Down 9 lbs... close to 9.5 lbs. Hoping to get down to the 10 lbs. lost this week (before pre-O weight gain occurs!).
4. GTKY: With summer almost over what are some last minute plans you have before fall starts? I have some pre-fall trips planned. I'm going to Oregon in a few weeks. And I have a trip to Disney planned at the end of September. Super excited for these! Also hoping to use the pool a few more times between now and closing it... if the weather lets me.
sprkls8506 LOL. I was just thinking about Fall TV over the weekend! On one hand I don’t want to wish away the summer, but on the other… yeah, ready for fall.
@rosemaryandthyme Have fun with DragonCon!!! And I definitely had bloat issues after my MCs. Sucks! I recently got put on a water pill and I think it’s helping.

2. Status? 1dpo I believe, but I still have no idea what the hell my body is doing for sure.
3. R/R? I'm currently trying to plan two events at the same time, both one week apart. The biggest one being my wedding reception which is next Friday. I feel guilty, but honestly could care less about any of the details at this point. It's been such an absolute s**t storm of crappy events over the last two months that I'm completely emotionally drained. It's not formal, and is honestly more like an over-sized country bonfire/BBQ. We FINALLY got around to eloping last January after years of being together and we're now getting around to celebrating the event. We're pretty casual people, but I cannot get myself excited about the details. I'm hoping as things come together over the next week I'll snap out of it and remember how incredibly lucky I am to have a DH that after years together still curls my toes and makes my heart flutter.
4. GTKY: With summer almost over what are some last minute plans you have before fall starts? My plan for the remainder of the summer is to try an tackle the disaster of a remodel project that is currently my house before the snow flies. My husband is in construction and they're right when they say their projects are always the last to get done. I have no walls ladies. NO WALLS! I'm going on months of no walls, no kitchen, and a bathtub that can't be used. I just want to hang a flipping picture, and put utensils in an actual drawer for crying out loud. *end rant*

#BitterHagPartyOf1
@dpjennifer we are doing Disney in Sept too! Doing the Halloween party which we have never done before. Also, don't want to wish summer away but I need something good to watch at nite! We just finished Ozark and now I feel like I can't find anything I want to watch!!
@ELeighMay I hope you are able to enjoy your reception! And omg we lived with no walls for awhile when re-did our house! I hope the projects go well and you are able to put some pics up!
Sorry for the comment and run- will catch up later. I've got to make dinner now and watch the latest GOT!
2. Status? Waiting for my first period before I can TTC again.
3. R/R? I had my post-surgery follow-up with my OB yesterday. She freaked me out about not being happy with my thyroid levels the last time they were tested on 7/5 while pregnant. (I'm hypo.) She said if they weren't in the ideal range I would be benched until we could get them straightened out. Well, my results came back and I'm exactly in the middle of where I should be. It's the best news I've had in weeks!
4. GTKY: With summer almost over what are some last minute plans you have before fall starts? We are heading to the beach next week. To be honest, I hate traveling, but I think it will be a good escape for me with all I've gone through lately.
@dpjennifer great gif!
2. Status? Still benched until after first post D&C AF.
3. R/R? Even though I know I probably shouldn't, I started temping again this week. I just want to know where I am in my potential cycle! Also not related, but I have had awful headaches the past two days, which I'm not sure if it could be because my HCG is still dropping?
4. GTKY: With summer almost over what are some last minute plans you have before fall starts? We are going to the coast next week on vacation and I couldn't be more excited. We have a family tradition of going each year, and it's been too long since I've taken an actual vacation at work. Can't wait for a few days off!!
And, ooohhhhh GOT! I don't miss it either, but this was a pretty uneventful week. That must mean next week all hell is going to break loose!
2. Status....still over here waiting for this cycle wrap up. Estimated 44 days last cycle with 40 and counting this cycle. It's cruel really! I just want a normal cycle so we can start actively trying next month.
3. Rant...see above I suppose. Rave - still just prepping for a week long vacay coming up next week!
4. Vacation. Maybe I should spend the next week packing!
@pumpkinpancake having vacay planned is the only way I am functioning right now! Taking off work is key! Ha
@GeekBeagle well here's to one bit of good news. That's Great!
@ELeighMae sometimes I want to just do all the home projects, and then am quickly reminded that I live here and will need to while in progress. Blah
@rosemaryandthyme embrace the geek
@sprkls8506 I'm such a tv gal...always pumped for fall shows to come back on, and football I suppose.
@Mack2342 Maybe paint your railing during the rest of your TWW?!
Thank you all! I love to GIF!
DH and I are watching GOT tonight. Woot!
sprkls8506 YAY! We’re going late Sept. Not doing the Halloween party, but seriously excited about the Food and Wine Festival!
GeekBeagle YAY for good thyroid test results!!!

1. Not new, at all. I'm like dumbledore or something.
2. About 12DPO BFN this morning, looks like drinks will be on order for my 39th birthday 8/30. Sigh.
3. R/R: I agree with the fall TV, there's nothing on right now! Waiting for PBS's Vietnam documentary, Victoria, etc.
4. GTKY: none. I'm a whiny bitch when it's hot out, so bring it on, fall!!!
CP 1/25/16 4.5 weeks, developed Graves' disease
2. End of cycle should be here this weekend. Trying to wait to test.
3. Rave: I have been going back to work these past few days . I teach and was off for the summer. It's good to get me time, even if it's at work. School officially starts tomorrow.
Rant: the school I am at asked me to coach cross country. I had to cancel 2 practices because no one would show up and at the first practice it was just me and a 2ND grader. The first meet is supposed to be next week and the principal thinks it's okay to put all of the students in the race without practicing. That would definitely not fly in my old school district due to risk of injury.
4. On my last half day off, we went to the pool.
@vlagrl29 I was counting down the days, too. I needed to get out of the house.
@dpjennifer congrats on the weight loss.
@mrschx where are you going on vacation?
@pumpkinpancake I get hormonal migraines so I think it could be a possibility that your headaches are hcg related. Sorry about it.
@GeekBeagle glad to hear your thyroid levels are where they should be.
@ELeighMay good luck on the reception, I remember how stressful all of that stuff was 4 years ago.
@MooFish2364 a girl after my own heart,if I could live at the pool I would.
@rosemaryandthyme good luck on your first tww.
@shri929 what do you teach? I think we have a few teachers on this board.
@Mack2342 stay strong, that's my goal for these next few days.
3. R/R? I'm in a bad mood. Enough said.
4. GTKY: With summer almost over what are some last minute plans you have before fall starts? Does getting my fall decorations our of storage and anticipating putting them up count? But really, we are going to the Air Force ball in a few weeks, so that is something to look forward to. I love a reason to put on a pretty dress and enjoy some adult time.
***TW Living child and loss mentioned***
13 March 2017: Loss at 4+6
@rosemary&thyme Yah my bloat took forever to go away and then it turned into a bloat (aka jiggly tummy) from comfort eating. weep womp
@Mack2342 Hopefully it won't get cold too soon! I am still loving this weather. you've done a bit of home improvement this year right?
shri929 so soon? wtf? I start next Wednesday and I thought that was early.
@MooFish2364 CD1 is hell. I feel your pain sista.
@dpjennifer still applauding your weight loss. Keep it up! I am doing a bit of my own if this tww turns up a bfn.
ELeighMay we were thinking of a kitchen redo but the sound of it is not enticing. My friend is doing it this week. It's one of those cookie cutter companies that comes in and does it quick. If she has good luck we might do the same.
@GeekBeagle sorry about the possible bench. Is there anything you can do to be proactive about it? I know nothing of medicine so don't know how that all works.
@mrschx At least you have a vaycay coming up! ANd maybe it will coincide with FW?!
@amberruka I'm your bitchy opposite. I hate the cold.
@rklinge0 I lol'd thinking about you just standing around with a second grader. I can't beleive you are back at work already. I guess I am the lucky one out of us teachers....August 23=doom
AFM...
1. PLease tell me I'm not the OG of this board. Coming upon the first anniversary of my first ectopic loss in September. I've had 2 more since then, one CP and one MMC @ 8? weeks.
2. Currently 7DPO thought about POASing and ate a vegan pizza instead, so later tonight when I feel crampy and bloated from eating too much I will probably convince myself I am PG and poas....or eat another pizza.
3. Rant: My husband has forbade me from watching GOT because he is not caught up because he wastes his time doing dumb things. So I watch it in secrecy with the blinds drawn and the door locked. I will rewatch it with him and act surprised at all the right times. I am a terrible wife I know, shhhhhh.
Rave: Must say, this season is amazing so far.
4. I'm just gonna soak up the sun until back to teaching.....and I am sure there will be about 10 people who got pg over the summer.
Also... LOVE that you're a terrible wife watching GOT in secret.

And yes, any remodel sucks. We didn't have much choice when we moved in, the kitchen had mold and most of the cupboards were rotten. I would never willingly take on that nightmare if given the choice.
