Re: TTTC Check In 3-2
QOTW: If you were given $1000 that you had to spend all at once in one place, where would you spend it?
Well we sorta have this exact scenario as a Christmas gift from my ILs. Except it's about $800 lol. We plan on getting a new shower door for our bathroom. But besides that gift thing... I would definitely spend it as part of the cost of a remodel of our kitchen, or perhaps the other bathroom.
No real major news from me. Started lupron last week and tomorrow is my last day of BCP. AF will show while I'm out of town 😒 oh well. At least all the monitoring appointments before the FET fall perfectly in place this month and don't interfere with anything. The month better fly by!

QOTW: Right now at the apple store, I really need a new phone but just don't want to spend the money!
AFM: Sorry I've been MIA lately, I have just been so tired and busy with work and all the stims! We have a bunch of good looking follicles so we trigger tonight with ER on Thursday. I'm super nervous about ER but also very glad to just get it done!
@2dogsmom Sorry you have been so tired, it is ALOT! Yay for awesome follicle check and best of luck tomorrow. Will be thinking about you!
QOTW: I really want to redo our bedding so I would spend it on that!
AFM: I had my follicle check yesterday, wasn't so great. Have another check tomorrow, but they are thinking this cycle is probably going to be a bust. Hopefully I can get at least one follicle and we can trigger, but if not it will be kind of nice to psychologically skip this month's TWW...
The two week wait is long and painful. the past couple of days i feel twinges, and light cramping, idk if you can even call it that, but its definitely some kind of 'activity' lol I am being absolutely ridiculous, that's for sure. hae been so busy with school though, this quarter is coming to an end, and its like test after test. so over it. Idk if any of you wen to nursing school, but it is absolutely not fun. 12 weeks left! haha
@everyone in response to last weeks inquiries, i am not sure how i feel about trying to have a relationship with my ILs, especially how they treated me. I mean, they didnt even say two words to me on our wedding day lol. ridiculous. I will have to think long and hard for sure, and DEFINITELY set some ground rules. I refuse to be disrespected by them ever again.
@inthewoods23 im so glad that your appointments fit perfectly into your life this month. that absolutely makes a HUGE difference in things, and makes it less stressful!
@2dogsmom i totally get the being tired thing, work kicked my behind this week so far, and i literally wanted to cry when my alarm went off this morning for school..
@nina205 keep your head up girl! i had quite a few follicle checks before i was good to trigger, dont get discouraged!

@abarr723 I haven’t been to nursing school but I got my masters while working full time surviving on 4 hours sleep a night so I totally feel you!! Good luck, sounds like you are super close to the finish line and the one nice thing about being busy is it helps the TTW!
