GTKY: What is your favorite childhood memory?
People think we become mothers when we give birth but the truth is we become mothers the moment we start calling our babies to us in our thoughts, dreams and prayers. Some paths are short and some are so long that you can easily forget where you were headed.

How I feel all of the time.

    How are things going? What is something that you are struggling with this week? What is going well for you this week? R/R? Things are okay. Father's day was hard for hubby yesterday. Struggling with writing letters to babies we lost for therapy homework she gave me for this week.

    Any testing coming up/any recent results? Just waiting to see if AF shows up or if I need to test around end of month

    GTKY: What is your favorite childhood memory? My uncle waiting in my driveway after school on fridays and end of school year for summer so I could go to my grandparents house for weekends and summers.

    How are things going? What is something that you are struggling with this week? What is going well for you this week? R/R? Things are good. I feel good. Always do when O is this close. I am trying to shake sense into myself as I feel way too optimistic which is just going to devastate me if this isn't the month.

    Any testing coming up/any recent results? Just expecting + OPK today

    GTKY: What is your favorite childhood memory? Oh sheesh. I have so so many. But most of them involve my grandparents and swimming in their pool. We were always a very close family and if we were not at school, we were at their house.

    @drewsdarlin I understand how the writing letters thing is so hard, I have a book I bought that had me just writing out our story and that was so unbelievably difficult. 
    @prpl11butterfly we're on similar cycles. GOOD LUCK

    How are things going? What is something that you are struggling with this week? What is going well for you this week? R/R? Pretty good, trying not to stress and overthink things. I killed DH libido the other day I think with so much baby/MC talk, I really need to try and chill. 

    Any testing coming up/any recent results? Nothing until the beginning of July

    GTKY: What is your favorite childhood memory? I don't have a lot of childhood memories, I blame the Ritilain. But I have a number of little pieces of memories from family vacations in the summer and those are always great.

    Hi all! I had my IUD removed last August and we spent a few months not TTC, but not preventing while my cycle regulated. In December, we had finally figured out the timing and got pregnant right away. (I know now how lucky we were!) My HCG was wonky from the beginning and we found out in February at about 9 weeks that there was no heartbeat. I think it was a blighted ovum, but my dr. never used that term. I miscarried using Cytotec and we started TTC again in May.

    How are things going? What is something that you are struggling with this week? What is going well for you this week? R/R? One of my best friends and my cousin (who is like a best friend) have both announced pregnancies since my MC which is hard. I am happy for them and sad all at the same time. I feel awkward talking to them about their pregnancies because I know they are feeling sorry for me. It’s a very strange feeling. 

    Any testing coming up/any recent results? None. 

    GTKY: What is your favorite childhood memory? Spending summers at a lake cabin in MN with my aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.

    How are things going? Ok. Still feel like   What is something that you are struggling with this week? What is going well for you this week? R/R? Ok. I still feel like I’m shooting in the dark with all the RE stuff. I don’t know anything about what my levels should be and idk where to look. Any book recos for this stuff?

    Any testing coming up/any recent results? Got my progesterone serum results back. Apparently my levels are low for this part of my cycle and they want to retest on Thursday. So I either ovulated earlier or later. Results on Thursday should tell me but now I’m freaking out that this cycle is a bust when I thought we had perfect timing based on CM. 

    GTKY: What is your favorite childhood memory? This one summer one of my aunts and one of my uncles babysat the 5 nieces and nephews. We did mattress sliding down th stairs, drank a ton of root beer floats, had a bonfire, made s’mores and then slept in this giant tent in the back yard. It was the most fun I’d ever had in one day.

    @drewsdarlin I hope the letter writing is cathartic, I know it’s got to be hard.

    @prpl11butterfly Fx for o soon!

    @purpleteacher82 I’m so sorry for your loss, and that you’re having to navigate two people close to you being pregnant as you’re going through that.

    How are things going? What is something that you are struggling with this week? What is going well for you this week? R/R? My body seems confused as to whether or not it’s going to ovulate this cycle (just had an early mc), which isn’t surprising, just not loving being in limbo. Or being so broken out...

    Any testing coming up/any recent results? Have a consult with my dr in July, nothing until then.

    GTKY: What is your favorite childhood memory? We had a huge snowstorm one winter when I was 7. We were snowed in for days. I have fond memories of all the family time in front of the fire and playing in the snow.
