Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..)

QOTW: Are you doing anything this week for NIAW (social media or otherwise)?

10 months in, CD13, Cycle 6 now... I think.
Any testing coming up?

Took an OPK this morning, negative.
Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..)

Not really anything going on.

Started Metformin a couple weeks ago and am continuing the PCOS diet. Hopefully between those 2 things, my body will decide to do something.
Our agreement is that if things are still going the way they are by the end of May, then I'll call and schedule an appointment with the RE.
QOTW: Are you doing anything this week for NIAW (social media or otherwise)?

I posted something on Monday. The in-laws were harping again on Sunday and they've gotten very rude and vindictive about us having another child. I ended up in tears. We don't want them to know we're TTC, because they lay on the "just relax" statement constantly. So I posted something in regards to the "just relax" statement.

@brij2006 - Seriously, still with the "just relax"?! What is wrong with some people? Especially after everything that you've been through already! Sorry.... Think they got the message?

Where are you at in your TTC journey? Cycle 4, CD55. Yesterday marked 11 months since I had my Mirena removed, so we've been TTC for almost 11 months now.

Any testing coming up? I'll POAS before I start this next round of Provera. I'm teleworking tomorrow, so I can run up to the drug store and get it filled. Other than that, nothing. I'll start back up all the testing once the Provera works and AF comes.

Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..) It's rough...I've been eating my feelings and buying things to make them go away, but they're always there. I found out that someone else at work is PG (and I suspect another, but I'm waiting to hear). It was like a dagger today when someone on another board I visit said she got her first post-Mirena period and hoped she got pregnant quickly "just like last time" so she didn't have to have AF. (:|

QOTW: Are you doing anything this week for NIAW (social media or otherwise)? The article that @FutureMrsWright2012 posted on FB made me cry, so of course I had to share it.

Where are you at in your TTC journey? a long way in. Right now I'm at like CD91 or 92. I've been taking Ovasitol hoping it would help me ovulate, but alas... no dice. I am just totally busted I guess. Blah.

Any testing coming up? nope

Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..) nothing new really, just plugging along! I am putting in for a new position at work soon so hopefully that'll pan out!

QOTW: Are you doing anything this week for NIAW (social media or otherwise)? I posted something the other day, but otherwise, nothing much.

@futuremrswright2012 They still lay on the relax crap. It's frustrating.

****Pregnancy/Baby Warning: When we got pregnant with DD, I was 3 months into the PCOS diet. We technically had been TTA and taking a break while we focused on getting out of debt and mourned the loss of our miscarriage. We decided, after meeting with our pastor to discuss these mental/spiritual issues about our miscarriage, that we were just scared about TTC again. So that weekend we decided not to prevent and I veered off the diet for a few days. We were very fortunate that the diet had been working pretty well and I had 2 regular cycles before then. So I ovulated a few days later and we conceived DD.
The IL's knew about our issues and our loss at that time, so when we told them we were pregnant, they asked if we went through treatment. We jokingly said that Fireball Whiskey (what we drank that weekend), had a play in this. We really didn't want to go into details with them about the diet, us preventing, or any of that stuff.
So yeah, ever since then, they tell people that "B and D let their hair down, drank some alcohol, and magically got pregnant after years of trying." I have gotten to the point that I make the smart comment back, "yeah, and it had nothing to do with not eating gluten, drinking alcohol, eating any sugar, and exercising a ton, for a while before that."

Long story long, that's where they feel the need to remind us to "just relax" and it will happen. Last year they bought us a bottle of Fire Jack before we went on vacation and told us to bring it with and make them a grandson. It took everything I had to not throw the bottle back at them.

At DD's 1st birthday, they put me into tears as well. Telling me how it's not fair to DD if she's an only child and we don't give her a sibling. I flat out responded with, "well we may not have that option." I've done this multiple times when this stupid conversation comes up, and they always respond with, "well just don't think about it and just relax."

The post didn't do crap for them. They liked it, but they'll hound us again this weekend. Guaranteed.

It makes me sad. Sad for myself, for my husband, and for them. I know they just don't understand how much their words hurt us. They try to act like they're supportive and there for us, but the words they choose, hurt. H tries to remind me that they've never been through this, so they don't understand it nor understand how it hurts. My parents never have either, but I'm open with them that we haven't prevented since DD was 5 months old, we've had a chemical pregnancy since then, and we wish we could have another child. They never once have told us to relax.

@brij2006... sorry that you continue having to deal with their insensitivity.

Glad to hear that your family seems to be a great support for you guys!

@lfk2013... sorry chica! I didn't mean to make you cry! That quote definitely captured how I have felt about this situation. Any luck this week? :-S

AFM...

Where are you at in your TTC journey? Nothing new to report. Still not pregnant.

Any testing coming up? I met with the perinatologist this week to further discuss our loss and recommendations for moving forward. He is also recommending an SIS (scheduled next week) and some additional labs (Celiac, thyroid, lupus studies). I'll also be getting another AMH drawn to see what that's looking like. Based on all the info that the perinatologist had, and assuming the upcoming testing is all normal, he feels like our chances of another 2nd tri loss is around 2%, especially since Lincoln had no major genetic abnormalities. He also has agreed to follow me closely if/when I get pregnant again to make sure that everything looks good even though he doesn't anticipate any problems.

Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..) Yesterday was our 4 year anniversary!

Unfortunately, with how crazy things have been between my 2 jobs and H's job and finishing his last semester of classes, we weren't really able to do anything fun. I did find our song list, so we played that while we made dinner. Made me a little teary. I loved our wedding and am so happy to have such an amazing and supportive H as we battle through expanding our little family.

QOTW: I posted an article on FB with this quote (taken from the article), "The loss of the blind happiness that everything will work out and be okay."
