*please notice*
This thread is for those who have started TTC but are now TTA or Benched. (There is also a TTCAL "sister" thread.)***General TW that this thread can and will mention MC and loss.***
This is a place for those of us who have already started TTC, but have hit a roadblock and are delaying for whatever reason. 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? BENCHED
GTKY: if you could spend the day with any historical figure, who would you pick? Oh boy, this question is interesting. I dont Know if he exactly historical but I’m gonna go with Carl Sagan, the astronomer, man i would love to hear his talk about Stars, the universe and cosmic coolness THAT would be awesome!
@ndz2018 sounds like your surgery went great and you’ll be out of here soon! That must be such a good feeling!
Are you benched or TTA? Benched
GTKY: if you could spend the day with any historical figure, who would you pick? Tough one! Probably MLK Jr. or FDR - for me, just reading their work is fascinating and inspiring, so I wonder what it would have been like to hear their thoughts straight from the source.
@wrensnest ugh, I hope it’s not serious! Hopefully they get you sorted quick and you are back ttc soon!
Are you benched or TTA? Both!
GTKY: if you could spend the day with any historical figure, who would you pick? Einstein! I absolutely love all of your picks too and they were all on my list! I think we should just plan a coffee with all our picks at once
@wrensnest Wow! I’m sorry to hear this! Do they have any idea what cause it? What sort of symptoms were you having? And finally is this something you’ve had in the past or it came out of no where?
@ndz2018 it can be caused by a lot of things (ranging from minor things like infection or an inflammatory response after surgery to scary stuff like cancer and bone marrow disorders). I haven’t been sick or had any infections, so the really minor things don’t add up. It can also be caused by iron-deficiency anemia, which seems the most likely for me, as I’ve had iron issues here and there (but I don’t think my RBC count was off, which is usually tell-tale anemia, so I don’t know). I don’t want to think about the other things, yikes. The issue I went to my PCM/urgent care for was the sudden appearance of these little purplish dots all over my chest (they look like a bunch of tiny bruises). They pretty much said they had no idea what it was, but according to Dr. Google (I know, I know) it can be related to abnormal platelet counts. Waiting to hear back from my OB on repeat blood work right now. Blehhhh.
GTKY: if you could spend the day with any historical figure, who would you pick? I picked too hard of a question... I have always been fascinated with FDR, or Augustus Caesar.
@ndz2018, I am sorry you had such a bad reaction to the anesthesia. I get really sick every time I have it, but it has never lasted so long. That had to be pure misery. 4 weeks is so close!
@wrensnest, that sounds so stressful, what kind of tests are you having to figure out what is going on? I hope you get answers soon.
@dragonette505, I am glad you are feeling well!
I Agree with @dragonette505 condoms make way more sense, they suck but it’s better than BCP in my eyes. Is there any way you can call and ask or does your OB want to see you anyway?
@wrensnest I really hope you get some answers soon. Did you get the repeat blood work done and are waiting on results or you’re waiting to get a repeat bloodwork done?
