TTC Check In
I'm getting it started for the week
Where are you at in your TTC journey?
Any testing coming up?
Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..)
QOTW: What is going to be the hardest thing for you to give up once you get your BFP?
Any other questions or concerns you'd like to share, go right ahead
Re: TTC Check In
Any testing coming up? None for me
Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..) We will be moving this weekend and I'll be getting ready to start a new job (which is why we might hold off on TTC, or maybe we are both nervous that September is around the corner...IDK). Anyone else go through anything similar to holding off on TTC
QOTW: (CBH) Well me personally it's probably Diet Coke. I'm a total addict
Any other questions or concerns you'd like to share, go right ahead
FET - transferred two embryos (boy and girl) - Nov 2014 - BFP!
Any testing coming up? I tested this morning so I could call the doctor and move forward. BFN.
Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..) I'm over this cycle. Really. Two of my friends, who started TTC about the same time as I did, have already announced. It's tough realizing that your body is all effed up from meds that you were on for years because you weren't ready for a kid. It's tougher that your body worked just fine when you were off meds 3 years ago and WHY WON'T IT WORK NOW?!?! It's been a tough week in our house. So many feelings...
QOTW: What is going to be the hardest thing for you to give up once you get your BFP? Hmmm...I would have said coffee, but I think it's ok to have less than a certain amount per day. Probably the wine. I love wine. DH & I love going to local vineyards and doing tastings.
ETA: I have to wait another month. Another effing month. I get that I just had my Mirena removed and right before that I was on BCP. I do. And I know I have a lot to work on with my weight. But I'm pushing 33 and just want something to work right with my body. Just one thing. Ugh. So many feelings today.
BFP - 10/29/2016!!!, EDD - 7/8/2017
Any testing coming up? No
Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..) I just had a really toxic relationship come to an end, so I'm struggling with that. I'm sort of relieved it's over, but that doesn't make it hurt any less. Break-ups are hard, even when it's just a friend or hell, even a frenemy. This person also happens to be my SIL so now we're completely estranged and I feel panicked and helpless that I won't get to see my niece (even photos of her) anymore. The flurry of emotions with all this is crazy. I forgot how much it stinks to go through a break-up.
QOTW: What is going to be the hardest thing for you to give up once you get your BFP? Probably adding onto my fitness regimen! I've already mostly given up drinking (just choosing to drink when I get my AF and then abstaining again), and I have one cup of coffee a day so that shouldn't be hard. But giving up on going farther with my running and lifting more weight will be tough for me.
2. No testing this month. We're in the middle of gutting and remodeling our only bath so we're already resigned to not worrying or intentionally trying this month.
3. The new bathroom! Our house was built in 1951 and while the kitchen is new I'm pretty sure the bathroom was original. Lots of mold, so we needed to replace either before having a baby or selling in a few years to adopt.
4. Definitely booze. I don't drink much but just enough to miss it. Also sushi, but I'll continue to eat the cooked rolls so I don't think that'll be too bad.
Any testing coming up? Nope
Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..) I quit my job on Friday, and I have been at the beach this week! I'm off BCP, but I haven't started charting yet because I haven't picked up my BBT yet. So far, I don't feel any different from not being on BCP!
QOTW: What is going to be the hardest thing for you to give up once you get your BFP? Sushi. I could eat sushi at least 2-3x/week. I love it so much! I will probably still eat cooked rolls while pregnant, but I will miss the raw stuff!
TTC #2 - Cycle 3 - CD33
Any testing coming up?
Nope
Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..)
Just started Provera yesterday. Once AF starts, which I think will be before I'm finished with the 10 days of Provera, we'll start a Clomid cycle. My chart screwed with me last week and made me think I ovulated. Damn body.
QOTW: What is going to be the hardest thing for you to give up once you get your BFP?
I didn't have a hard time giving up anything when pregnant with DS. I had a cup of coffee if I wanted it and had a little wine if I wanted it. No big deal.
