Re: Who is still here? Can we do a check in?

  • I'm here!!!

    I have no major updates. Other than being mega lazy about looking for a new (used really) vehicle for DH. He's been driving his parent's extra truck since July because we keep putting off getting him something. It's so hard to find something that he likes and can see out of and that we can afford right now.

    My other updates are PR so I usually post that stuff on GP Moms. But I'm always checking here. Especially when I'm at work and bored (often).

    T-TTC since Dec 2008. PCOS/nonexistant cycles(anovulation) and endo. HSG in '10 revealed both tubes blocked. Lap surgery in Dec '10 to correct. Failed Clomid/IUI and injectable(Bravelle)/IUI cycles so far.

  • I'm here.  I know I'm not part of the 'original' crowd. 

    Had our first IUI on March 16th, going in for betas on April 1st.  But I will test before that.

    We're thinking of going up to Boston for couple days.  Just need to figure out when we can take some time off.   I just need to get away from work, so even if I take some time off and we stay home, that would be fine with me!

  • I'm here. It snowed today, and I'm not happy about it. I thought we were into Spring already...sigh.

    As far as TTC goes, DH and I are still on track to start this fall sometime. I still haven't started my new job yet, and I want to work at least 6 months before we start trying.

    @HoneyBee973 I have everything crossed for you!

  • I'm around, though I've been really busy and haven't been able to check in as often as I'd like. Lots of updates, though!

    DH and I went through a ton of problems over the last 9-ish months with mold in our apartment, and just a few weeks ago we ended up moving out so they can do work on our apartment. Still trying to get everything settled and finished moving (same building and landlord, so we have lots of time), hence the busy-ness.

    DH and I also both have jobs for the fall, so we're working on finishing our degrees this summer. We'll be in CT, close-ish to you Boston ladies! :) We're super excited, since we were able to find jobs, albeit temporary (3-year) ones, at the same university.

    @FutureMrsWright2012 GL with your ER! That's so exciting.

    @Flamingo86 Congrats on your raise!

  • I'm around. I mostly lurk because there's not much going on and we aren't TTC yet. We're moving to a new apartment at the beginning of May (thank goodness!) that is much closer to DC and is a block or so from my parents. DH is excited because our potential babysitters are so close. 

    We're still planning on TTC this summer, although I won't have my Mirena removed until the beginning of June. DH felt more comfortable with that because if we did get KU quickly (my gut tells me no) we'd be able to move to a bigger apartment when our lease was up and not in the middle of it.

    I was thinking to test this weekend?  I am nervous to do it too early.  When would you say is a good day to test? 

  • I'm here! Most of my updates are PR related, so they go on the other board. Not much else going on in.

    @FutureMrsWright2012 - ahh! I had no idea your retrieval was so soon. Thinking of you and hoping for great eggs!

    @OceanHutt - amazing progress with your weight loss!

    @Flamingo86 - wahoo on the raise!

    @thecuddleeffect - I cannot believe Colin will be one. And trying for #2? Wishing you so much luck!!

    Present and accounted for! Nothing new to report for me. DH and I have no life plans past August (my contract ends, he finishes his PhD) and so far, none of our potential plans are going to plan. It's... frustrating.

    @FutureMrsWright2012 Good luck on Wednesday!!

    @thecuddleeffect One! Wow! Best of luck for IVF & #2!

    @botanicalbliss TWO! That doesn't seem possible. Time seriously flies.
