Re: 3T Check in! Posting a little early, but whatever :)

  • Today is 5dp5dt. I stupidly tested this morning- bfn- but realize it may be (hopefully is) too early. I've had a headache and cramping for the last 2 days but no other signs either way. Plus, I don't read into symptoms anyway.

    I love anything apple, whether it be apple cider, apple crisp, apples and peanut butter, etc.

  • @ILoveRedVino‌ I'm hoping and praying it was too early.

    @RockABye‌ I hope AF gets here soon!!!

    Update: no changes.

    QOTW: egg nog! It's a family recipe and it's amazing!
  • Sigh. I'm still waiting for my first period post-m/c to show up. My OB called in a prescription for a round of Provera. I'm so annoyed with my body and with the world. I'm a giant ball of anger and frustration.

    I love cinnamon - particularly cinnamon dolce lattes. I love the feasts that my family prepares for Thanksgiving and New Years.

  • @ILRV - hoping its too early.  I've been thinking of you!

    @RAB - Hope that AF shows up quickly!

    @Ewenice - I am so sorry your body is not cooperating.  I hope the Provera does the trick for you. :(

    Update:  I've been trying to get back in to the swing of temping.  Main problem is our new kitty who sometimes likes to wake us up at ungodly hours like 5AM.  I am not currently mentally prepared for 4 AM temping (and DH would not be a happy camper - he's a much lighter sleeper than me).

    Also, if this cycle is like the last and actually normal length, I should be due for it sometime early next week.  Fingers crossed for no fluke.

  • Update: After the worst U/S tech in the world tried to murder my cervix this morning and I've been cramping and sore all day, my ute and ovaries look good. (Seriously, my usual 3 minute easy utlrasound took twenty and this tech didn't have the printer on the first time and tried a couple times to shove the wand in my ass). They are delaying my start of stims til Saturday because they don't want to have to do ER on a Sat-Sun. This way, ER will be Thanksgiving week, they're shooting for day before Thanksgiving, earliest that Monday. So Lupron again tonight and tomorrow. Then Saturday starts Lupron, Bravelle, and Menopur. U/S and bloodwork Monday.

    QOTW: I love apple cider (spiked, hot, cold, however) and pumpkin spice tea right now. I'll be switching to gingerbread soon! Food-wise stuffing, cranberry sauce, cranberry-apple pie, pumpkin pie. EVERYTHING!

    @ILoveRedVino - Hoping so hard that it was just too early. FX for good news tomorrow when you retest with YH!

    @RockABye - FX that AF shows up soon!

    @BruinsBabe33 - Still annoyed for you and your dr. situation. Hope they figure out something soon!

    @Ewenice83 - Sorry that your body isn't cooperating! Hope the Provera does the trick soon!

    @arj14 - GL with temping. I know it can be hard to maintain that habit so early in the AM. 

    @islandmonkey8 - Sorry about your unfortunate U/S experience today! Hope you feel better soon. Hooray for having an official start date for stims though! So excited and hopeful for you!

    @poppies717 - YAAAAAAAYYYY for your almost active profile! 


    *LR

    AFM... Well, I was right about my non-stop bleeding the past 6 weeks since my loss not being NORMAL. I am so flipping done with this place. I went in for my supposedly unnecessary U/S (that they basically just scheduled me for because I was persistent), and lo and behold, I still have quite a bit of retained tissue that needs to be taken care of. They want to schedule me for a D&C late next week, but I've requested Cytotec to at least try to pass it on my own this weekend. Should be a fun one. Then, I'll call them Monday with an update and decide about whether or not to schedule the D&C. I also FINALLY was told all of my lab results including baby's chromosomes (everything normal), but again, this was only because I asked. 

    AW... With our loss, DH and I decided several weeks ago that we need to move back to the big city (about 2 hours away from where we are now). This meant listing our house and walking away from a satellite clinic that I worked for about 2 years to establish. Needless to say, so much extra stress that has been difficult to mentally handle. Well, today, our counter offer was accepted, and our house is sold! I also met with the people at the satellite clinic I started, and everyone is super supportive and understanding about my decision. Such a huge weight off my shoulders!

    QOTW... SOUPS! Butternut squash chipotle bisque and carrot ginger soup are probably my two faves. I think I'm going to need to make some this weekend!
