Re: TTCAL week of 10/14
2. Status? officially in the TWW as of this weekend
3. R/R: I have a gyn appt tomorrow. I don't know that I'm expecting anything special... maybe she'll have some words of encouragement or wisdom? lol
4.GTKY: It's karaoke time! What song are you definitely singing? I have a few go-tos for karaoke- Total Eclipse of the Heart, It's Gonna Be Me, and Say My Name- these three will always end up on the list for me lol
also, do we still want to do the monthly threads (TWW/WTO)? We've been pretty quiet lately...

2. Status? Two
3. R/R: I get hormonal migraines, this weekend I had a migraine Saturday and af started. Its a cruel reminder that I'm not pregnant.
4.GTKY: It's karaoke time! What song are you definitely singing? Anything Britney Spears from her early days. I used to love her as a kid.
@manillabar Good luck at ob hopefully she can send ya some encouragement. I'm fine either way with keeping or riding of the wto and tww
2. Status? TWW
3. R/R: My face is so broken out right now, and I'm really just waiting to start AF so we can move on to the next cycle. I'm not hopeful this time. I've only had 2 cycles since removing mirena at the end of July. One in August, one in September (MC) so I really have no idea when to expect AF. I would guess by the end of the week. I hadn't had a cycle since 2012 when I first got my mirena inserted.
4.GTKY: It's karaoke time! What song are you definitely singing? Salt-N-Pepa None of Your Business! *Side-funny* Somehow my best friend convinced the dj at our wedding to hand her a mic and play this song. We sang it together at our reception. We did not have karaoke at our reception. It might have been the tequila singing!
Any suggestions to get the board to pick up? I'm always interested in visiting, but don't want to flood the board either.
2. WTO but avoiding for mental health reasons
3. My anxiety went through the roof last cycle. I had spotting starting 5 DPO and I told my husband I needed a break from TTC. He agreed, so I’ve been focusing on my eating habits and getting back into a solid workout routine. I did not realize how much pressure I was putting on myself. It’s been a nice two weeks.
4.GTKY: Goodbye Earl by Dixie Chicks. Such a fun song! And hard to butcher since I’m a terrible singer.
@manillabar I’m good either way. Hope your OB appointment goes well and you walk away with wisdom to share with the rest of us 😜
@ble1 Sorry about the migraine and AF. You’re right, it is cruel. Our bodies couldn’t find a worst way to rub the lack of pregnancy in our face.
@modoodles Salt-n-Pepa has a few good ones for karaoke!
1. 3 mc in 2017, 1 mc early 2019
2. WTO
3. Stayed home from work today because I can barely open my eyes, they are so swollen from crying myself to sleep last night. I'm a hormonal mess right now. I turned 43 last week, which is just a kick in the gut when you're TTC and you know you're already likely past your expiry. We've put an application in for adoption but that seems to take forever and we are going to still TTC while we wait. The info session we were supposed to attend this weekend was cancelled, just another hurdle. We also had an appt for an IVF consultation yesterday. She said I'm still an ok candidate to use my own eggs to start, she said approx 4 follicle on the rights and 6-7 on the left so she said worth a try. (Is that the right terminology, I'm new to this). Just need to process all of this info before we take the plunge.
4. Oh man, don't get me started, I love karaoke and I'm the worst singer ever. Don't Stop Believing by Journey, I Want You To Want Me by Cheap Trick, Jambalaya by Hank Williams, anything by Blondie or Janis Joplin.
Even when I'm not active on here, I like to look into the TWW thread and see who got knocked up. It's definitely a bit quieter here lately, I guess that's a good thing but it would be nice to have a bit more chatter happening.
2. Status? WFAL- BFN yesterday
3. R/R: I was hesitant about posting because I knew the IUI had worked! But I guess I needed to be reminded I am not a magical unicorn. 😭 I think this is the year everyone decided to get pregnant. I have seen so many baby announcements. I am shutting down my social media. I can’t deal with it.
My DD is coming up in November and I just knew I would be pregnant right now! My heart just breaks. I also had the conversation with my husband last night about looking into fostering to adopted...
GTKY: It's karaoke time! What song are you definitely singing? Probably something from spice girls...I will come back for tags later...
1. Introduce yourself: Hello! I have been active on TB since May 2019. This is my first MC. At first the OB suspected a molar pregnancy because my HCG level was above 100,000 at 10 weeks (gestational size measured at only 7+4), but that was nixed after my second ultrasound. He simply labeled it as "missed abortion," and prescribed meds to induce MC on Oct. 12th.
2. Status? Benched until after my next AF, then will resume TTC again.
3. R/R: I'm ready for the hormonal moodiness to level out. I shift from weepy & depressed to okay throughout the day, which makes it difficult to get anything done. MH has been extremely supportive, though, and left me a sweet note this morning before he left for work.
4.GTKY: It's karaoke time! What song are you definitely singing?: Pretty much anything by Fleetwood Mac.
Due with baby #2: Feb 2022
@40momma I had just thought about you the other day! I am so sorry for the bad day! I am glad though you and your DH have made plans and are moving forward.

@ble1 I get those migraines, too. They are the worst! So sorry for AF and migraines
@modoodles go ahead and flood the board! Also, I hope you have that performance on your wedding tape/dvd Lolol sounds awesome
@tyrion_ glad you’re getting some much needed peace of mind from the break ❤️
@40momma happy belated birthday! Lots of hugs. Sounds like a lot to deal with all at once. I forgot about don’t stop believing! Another karaoke classic!
@Mamaof2beautifulgirls i am just so, so sorry. I was really hoping this would be your cycle. Solidarity here with the upcoming DD. Mine’s this Sunday. Sending virtual hugs your way. Be extra gentle to yourself during this time ❤️

@Mamaof2beautifulgirls thanks! I've got hypothyroidism as well, glad to have found someone in the same boat! Doctors are thinking that's been the main source of my MCs. FX balancing our TSH levels is all it takes!
Due with baby #2: Feb 2022
Hey! Mom of a little boy who will be 2 in November. I lost babies who were due in August 2017, February 2020, and April 2020. Struggling with IF for 11 months now and seeing an RE
2. Status? TWW - beta tomorrow but BFN at home
3. R/R: This ish is getting really, really hard. I’m lucky to have so many supportive friends who check in me daily / weekly, but that’s also not getting me a baby so I’m pretty down.

@ttcbabyodo Hope they can get your thyroid levels in order fast!
@mama_mea Looking back at where you “should” be is so tough. I’ve had to make a promise to myself to not look back at any of the BMBs I’ve joined and if I get KU again, I won’t join one until I have 3 good betas because it’s like it adds to the loss if you’ve bonded with people.
@mamaof2beautifulgirls I’m sorry the IUI didn’t work and AF headed your way. I’m in the same boat.
