Re: TTCAL wk of 12/2
2. Status? WTO, yet again
3. R/R: I'm spending part of my fertile week away from home alone in AZ... hope we can get decent timing when I get back but not feeling great about it. Hate that AF will likely be due right around Christmas. But I am definitely looking forward some alone time! This is my first time flying by myself.
4.GTKY: Favorite Christmas memories or traditions: I used to love calling my Grandma in Canada on Christmas morning. Also our church always had christmas eve services and when we were younger they used to be really elaborate with plays, poems, songs, etc and preparing to perform was always so exciting for all of us. Plus we got to stay up really late for the service, haha

3. Nothing bad dhs 3rd birthday party is this weekend so trying to get ready for that.
4.GTKY: Favorite Christmas memories or traditions. I love when my mom would bake cookies and over decorate the house. Im trying to do the same for our family and I really love it.
@manillabar I love getting some alone time. It doesn't happen often but its really nice when it does come. Hopefully you'll get back in time for the big day. I enjoy Christmas eve service also its such a relaxing calming time. Our church used to do like a candlelight service and it was so peaceful
2. Status? WTO
3. R/R: It didn't happen for us last month, I knew the timing was off - Just made an appointment with the RE to start exploring IVF. We don't want to wait any longer and he seems to feel that IVF will increase our chances for a live birth.
4.GTKY: Favorite Christmas memories or traditions - We're Jewish so no Christmas memories, per say. My mother's birthday is Christmas Eve, so my SIL has the family over for a big dinner that night and usually we watch movies in PJs on the 25th.

2. Status? I don't know - WTO, I think. I haven't stopped bleeding since my MC, and my docs can't figure out why.
3. R/R: Rant - I hate the military healthcare system. It is so tedious trying to get an appointment, I always feel like I'm an inconvenience to them. Like I'm just another number. I just want answers, and I just want this bleeding to stop. I don't think my OB understands how difficult it is to see blood in the toilet every.single.time I go to the bathroom.
Rave - I fly out to Chicago tomorrow to present my capstone project for grad school on Monday. I'm nervous but excited to be this close to having my master's!!
4.GTKY: Favorite Christmas memories or traditions: Every Christmas Eve, we would watch Christmas movies, bake cookies, have the lights down low so that the Christmas tree is the only illumination, and we'd get to open one Christmas present each. We always knew it was pajamas, because my mom likes us to match on Christmas morning.

@laurenmicheley that'll be an awesome birthday gift
I'm bummed out started spotting today, this month marks 2 years since we got pregnant with our loss. I was really hoping for a positive this month, its been a long journey.

@ble1 I'm sorry about the spotting. This month marks 1 year for me since I got pregnant, too. I feel you - it's very emotional.
@ble1, sorry about the spotting. Sometimes (honestly, all the time) it feels like this journey just gets tougher and tougher
how is everyone doing with the holidays coming up? The holiday announcements are killing me, plus my constant thoughts about how I should be celebrating my two month old’s first Christmas. Trying to focus on being grateful for what I do have, but it’s not easy.

We went to my RE today to discuss other options to trying again naturally since it's been 6 months since me last MC and we haven't gotten pregnant. My doctor recommend we do SOMETHING - whether it's just Clomid, Clomid w/IUI, or IVF - it's ultimately our choice which is very confusing and MH and I aren't totally on the same page about this. I'm tired of "wait and see" and feel like I'm wasting a lot of time and we're not getting anywhere.
ANYWAY - sorry for ranting, but thanks for listening! Hope everybody is gearing up to have a fantastic holiday and I'm excited to hear about what each of you did to celebrate!

@laurenmicheley i got a bfp just before Christmas 2017. Its really hard thinking you should be pregnant again or gave a baby by now. Dh is the same way about the wait and see where I'm more lets try other methods.
I have a sad update. On Monday I was officially late and got a bfp. Had blood work Tuesday and again yesterday. Today i got my results my hcg is decreasing which means now I'm just waiting to miscarry. It's going to be a rough Christmas now. I have to go for bloodwork until 0. If I don't hit it soon a d&c would happen. The ob told me she will run tests after I hit 0 to see if we can find a cause for the losses.
@ble1 So sorry you are going through this. It's so painful and especially around the holidays. Sending you lots of hugs.
@Mamaof2beautifulgirls thanks for lurking. How is it going? Miss you on this board

2. Status?- TWW, although I have no hope at this point it’s 2 days till CD 28
3. R/R: Rant- people continue to ask when we are going to have more kids, or if we are, they know what I went through in 2017...
4.GTKY: Favorite Christmas memories or traditions- love the home alone movies, and out tradition is opening pjs on Christmas Eve ❤️
@ble1 I'm sorry you're going through this again. My first loss happened on Christmas morning 3 years ago and it's an extra crappy day/time of year to have to go through loss. Sending lots of hugs
