Re: TTC Check In!
Any testing plans in the upcoming week? Trying to hold out. I want to pee on all the things though.
What's going on this week? Goods, bads, uglies, FFC, UO's etc. Let's hear 'em. Just weird "family" drama.. not really worth bitching about, lol.
QOTW: Name your favorite and least favorite things about each season. Let's see, Spring, good = plants/trees/flowers blooming. bad = allergies associated with the blooming of flora. Summer, good = more sunlight in the days, bad = omg humidity. Fall, good = cooler weather, bad = less sunlight during the days. Winter, good = perrrrfect weather, bad = f'ing ice storms.
To make you feel my love.
FF says "good" ... it always says that, though. We hit the day before O and the day after.
08/13: Started TTC - 07/14: PCOS dx

* After 22 months and 2 failed IUIs, we finally got our BFP *
DS delivered naturally at 41w6d on 4/18/14
TTC 19 months ~Started RE in March 2014~
DH was not ready for IUI so we waited
~Started acupuncture in May 2014~
~~BFP 7/6/14~~~EDD 3/14/15~~It's a girl!!~~
Good: My birthday is Saturday! I'm trying to talk H into going to the drive in tomorrow night, hopefully some good movies will be playing! He plans to mow the grass on Saturday while I get a pedicure then we're having a dinner date. Sunday we're having dinner with my family at a restaurant I've never been to before, looking forward to it.
Kinda bad?: (loss mentioned) I work for a non profit organization, we mostly work with people with disabilities to help with their medical needs. We also have a car seat program. The lady in charge of that department (P) is a wonderful lady, her and I get along very well. She hasn't been to our office since my loss, with the time I had taken off she was informed of what was going on. She stopped by today, looked me dead in the eye, and said very softly "so how's everything going?" I didn't realize she meant the loss and if I was pregnant again till she left! Now I just feel awkward about the whole thing.
Summer: favorite I like to go swimming/least I hate being hot!
Fall: favorite I love the smell of fall, it is awesome/least I can't think of anything, I enjoy the fall
Winter: favorite I love snowflakes!/least roads
BFP 2: 7/7/2014 Beta 7/8: 115, Beta 7/12: 638, Beta 7/16: 3793, Beta 7/21: 21,625
@nightmare_of_beauty -- happy birthday on Saturday!! I hope all goes according to plan! It sounds like a fun-filled weekend!
@nightmare_of_beauty - Happy birthday! Hope you have a great weekend!
Where are you at in your cycle? CD3 (Because obvi my body thinks 20 days between loss and AF is appropriate....)
Any testing plans in the upcoming week? Negative. Not sure if I want to go the OPK route this cycle or not. I got the Clearblue Digital OPK after fighting with an offbrand for a week and getting all positives. Not sure how I feel about the idea yet but who knows if my cycle will be normal again.
What's going on this week? Goods, bads, uglies, FFC, UO's etc. Let's hear 'em. Good: We're trying to buy another house. I won't be excited until I have keys in my hand. Bad: Work is stressing me the heck out. I have a girl working under me who doesn't understand 'work independently' and asks me questions and/or tells me what she finds about 45 minutes out of every hour.
QOTW: Name your favorite and least favorite things about each season.
Spring - Best: Weather getting warmer. Worst: I hate storms.
Summer - Best: Warmth. Worst: Humidity.
Fall - Best: Almost everything. Worst: The days that are super windy and cold.
Winter - Best: Snow is pretty when I don't have anywhere to go. Worst: Horrible drivers!
Anything else? Don't hesitate to ask your own questions! I don't think I have anything else except hopes and prayers that my body decides to be normal again...FX.
@poppies717 - Thank you! I know we're all different but it's reassuring to know someone else has been through this. (ETA - there's no way to write that without sounding mean and I definitely don't mean it that way. I mean about AF, not about our losses. I wish none of us ever had to go through this.)
@simsk3887 - hoping everything goes back to normal for you soon
