Updates: Ok ladies... where are we at this week? Testing, Procedures, Appointments, Adoption updates, Life updates? What’s going on, etc. Let's hear all about it!

QOTW: Are you and introvert or an extrovert?

Re: 3T Check in

  • Update - nothing on me.

    QOTW: I'm probably mostly introverted, but with people I'm really comfortable with, I am definitely the extrovert in the group though.

  • It's okay with me!

    Update: Waiting, waiting, waiting.

    QOTW: I'm an introvert for the most part, but once I get to know someone, I'm loud! :-)
    TTC #1 since Feb. '12. dx: "unexplained" IF
    After 2 shitty IVF cycles and 1 loss at 6+2 (EDD 11/7/14), DH and I are pursuing DIA.

    3T<3

  • Good with me!

    Nothing new. Ordered my FET meds and annoyed insurance won't cover the minivelle patches. At $50 a box every 4 days, I'm watching $$ exit very quickly.

    QOTD- extrovert in work setting, but can be introverted in personal situations.

  • Update: nothing new so far, just trying to stay low carb low sugar and trying to find helpful recipes.  I'm going to open up a savings account specially for funding any future treatments we might pursue.

    QOTW: Introvert until I feel comfortable, and then louder. Yesterday I was at orientation for my new job and pretty much everyone else was an extrovert and yacking away, and I was just like... sitting quietly in the corner.

    BFP 09/18/15 - Baby S 05/27/16
  • Sending love and hugs to all of you!

    QOTW: I know you're "supposed to" be one or the other, but I honestly can't tell you which I am.  It depends on the situation for me.  I think I'm an introvert most of the time, but I certainly have my extrovert moments with family, DH, and at work.

    Tomorrow is an ultrasound check to make sure hormone levels and ovaries are quiet.  If all is well, I'll start Estrace and a baby aspirin tomorrow.   24 more days until transfer! I can't wait to see Olaf and Reggie! :) We went with a "frozen" theme for our icicles this time.  Olaf, from Frozen, was my choice. Reggie, from some hockey movie, was Jim's choice. Yes. We are nerds.  But Petri, Ivy, Nacho and Popeye aren't anymore special than these ones! 

    QOTW: If I said introvert, you'd all call me a liar.  I definitely get anxious having to work with new people, but once I'm comfortable with you...watch out! :)

    No more nerd than us. We've named ours Olaf and Sven.

  • @Aimothy‌ I love that you've named them all, much more creative than calling them baby for all that time. @poppies717‌ I hope your waiting game isn't too long.

  • Thinking of you all! Aim-- wishing you all the luck in the world. Xan-- I'm thrilled for you!

    Nothing here.

    Total introvert. Except with close friends and family. But I really enjoy alone time, and quality time with loved ones. I'm not social with those who I'm not close to.
    IUI - BFP! Baby boy born still - August 2012
    IVF - BFP - miscarriage June 2013
    FET - BFN
    FET - BFN
    Switched clinics
    IVF with PGD - three embryos created, all healthy - July 2014
    FET - transferred two embryos (boy and girl) - Nov 2014 - BFP!
    Baby Boy born July 2015

  • Thinking of everyone especially @Aimothy‌ and @sweetpotato123‌! Update: Started stims Monday. Bloodwork Wednesday was less than they wanted (half to be exact), so they doubled my Menopour. I know that is normal, but it totally freaked me out! I'm better now, but really hoping that the bloodwork and ultrasound help calm my nerves today. QOTW: It depends on the situation for me and my mood? There are some days that I am a total extravert, but others where I just want to be at home and alone. Group situations are the same. I think I would lean more towards the extravert side though.
