Re: 3T Check in!

  • GL @sweetpotato123!

    Update: nothing much. I just ordered some vitex essential oil that I'm going to start applying daily. I'm hoping that MAYBE it'll give me some kind of cycles. Who knows. Otherwise, nothing new here.

    QOTW: I was asleep in my dorm room when my roommate bust in and woke me up to tell me. I thought it was a small plane at first and wondered what the big deal was, then she turned on the TV.

    In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!

  • @sweetpotato123 - Good luck!!!!

    Update: Same as earlier this week. My friend said she mailed the letter to me on Tuesday. It's not here yet (she doesn't live far). I'm hoping it's not user error. ;-)

    QOTW: I was in study hall during my senior year of HS. I was a good student, so I didn't have to report to a study and could go wherever I wanted in the school. I laughed about it because I didn't think it was going to be that big of a deal (also thought small planes). Once I got to band practice, the first tower had collapsed, and our teacher explained that it was likely the other would collapse as well. It's so strange what I remember from that day (I remember what I was wearing). It's hard to remember that my students don't remember it at all.
    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.

    Pregnancy was never the end goal; being a mom was.
    I've been holding out on GP: I got drunk once and started a blog: Here it is (11/7 update)
    3T<3

  • Update....well since we last did this...heard from the RE:and the last sample was horrible.....having him do a re-test to confirm our suspicions that it was just a fluke and we're really not completely 110% out

    I'm having a really hard time losing the weight right now.....I've basically maintained but life has been INSANE....im glad i've maintained but i need to get a move on....

    QOTW? Music suite on my way to lunch :( Thankfully my sister's husband took her on a second honeymoon....she was an admissions counselor and was supposed to be staying in the towers and working in NYC...she would have been there during everything in the tower still :(
    Ashley & Jeremy 10/10/10

    Getting fit for IVF! :) (add another 20lbs and you have my total weight lost! :) )

  • I'm excited by the great updates here.  Sending positive vibes to all of you   >:D<

    QOTW: I was in my room, getting ready to go to my history class at university.  I was listening to the radio and ran out to the TV to see what was going on.  I went to class and the professor came in, plugged in a radio and we all sat and listened in silence for the whole class.  My Dad was in London at the time and was scheduled to fly home September 12th.  He got "stuck" in London until September 23rd.  Aside from the terrible situation, he wasn't too upset about being stuck in one of his favourite cities.

  • Such amazing updates all around here.

    I'm sorry I've been MIA on and off. I do keep checking in but I can't always bring myself to post. I am always here rooting for you wonderful ladies.

    Update: Today is one month since we said goodbye. I didn't even realize it right away when I woke up. But, once I did, I feel like shit. I did finally work up the courage to leave a message on the nurse's line at my RE. I'm waiting for a call back later today. I don't know if the RE would want to see me and talk about what is next before we move on. Also, I need a script for provera in order to move on since I don't O on my own. But, obviously, this all means that we have decided to move forward. We are still grieving our losses, but I want to be pregnant again. It really does terrify me in many ways to be pregnant again, but we want our snuggle babies. So, yea, just waiting to hear from the RE right now. Also, I did NOT miss the on and off spotting my body does when not on a medicated cycle. Sucks BALLS.

    QOTW: I was sitting in film class senior year of high school. A girl in my class got called out to the office (her father worked in the towers, he luckily ended up unharmed). Then our teacher told us what was happening. The rumors were INSANE around the school through lunch. We could smell the smoke from the towers outside the school. The school never gave us an update or anything about what was happening. I got my father on the phone finally at lunch because he was home. He explained what was happening, when I got home we all just watched the news. A lot of people in my school knew people who were lost on that day. One teacher did lose her husband. It was and still is a rough day.
