Re: TTC/3T Check-in

  • Hi ladies! To catch up from last week...

    @lfk2013 - Sorry to hear that it has taken you so long to finally get some answers. Hopefully, once everything has been treated/normalized, your journey to your take-home baby will be a smooth one. Big hugs again about the loss of your friend. 

    @ilovewhitevinotoo - Bummer that nothing seems to have changed! I have everything crossed that all will work out in a couple of months and you can give that adorable little one-year-old a baby brother. <3 

    @brij2006 - Hooray for an improving cycle length! Hope everything gets worked out with you and YH soon! Sorry about the "just relax" nonsense! 

    AFM...
    Nothing new to report, which is probably why I've been so lax. Sorry! 2 months from tomorrow we pick our donor though! Next week is our pre-ED IVF psych appointment. My H is very easily annoyed by counselors/psychologists, so it'll be interesting to see how this goes. :) 

    Later this week, we're heading to Orlando for a conference. H is coming along this time, so that's going to be fun! We're going to some kind of theme park (H keeps changing his mind and I could careless), kayak tour of Everglades, and to the Kennedy Space Center. Should be fun! 

    FFC - Today, I tried a new class at my gym. Thankfully, I wasn't the only lanky white girl with a major lack of coordination. In fact, I was quite delighted to see the girl who literally startled when the music was turned on, had to repeatedly drop her weights on the ground (even in spite of the instructor trying to give her lighter weights that she refused), and almost ran into me going the wrong direction about 5 times. Hopefully, we both get a little better next week! ;)

  • Nothing new. I'm on Day 6 of birth control pills (I'll take them for 21 days to induce a bleed). They're giving me a bad tummy ache. More testing when I start bleeding. H and I have to go get some FET forms notarized this week, so I'm taking off work early, doing that, and then spending the rest of the afternoon at happy hour. I'm cutting out the alcohol on 8/1, so I'll enjoy it while I can. :)

  • @ilovewhitevinotoo Enjoy every sip of your drinks.
    @futuremrswright2012 That class sounds awesome yet definitely challenging.  Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it the more you go.  I used to go to bootcamp class 3 days a week and was definitely the uncoordinated girl in there.  It was worth it though.


    On CD25/8DPO of this cycle. I tested like a crazy person yesterday and this morning. Negative. I'm a early pee pusher though, so this is normal. :-) If this cycle is a dud, I'm not yet sure what we're going to do. We've thought about taking a complete break from TTC so we can book and go to Hawaii in January. But neither of us wants to stop.  We'd rather have a baby more than taking another trip to Hawaii.

    AW/FFC: Um, I ovulated on day 17 of my cycle.  Say what????

  • Where are you at in your TTC journey? Cycle #6, CD12

    Any testing coming up? Just daily OPKs at this point. The second line appears to be getting darker, but that could be my wishful thinking. Still nothing from the RE on an official diagnosis. I'm wondering if I should give them a call tomorrow if I don't hear anything...

    Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..) Something between DH & I feels...off. I can't explain it. We've been bickering a lot more about stupid stuff, where both of us are mad at the other but don't want to say it or apologize for the stupid stuff. I wish I could say it's only been since the throw-down with his mom Memorial Day weekend, but I'd be lying to myself. It's really bothering me and I don't know what's changed. As hard as it is to admit, I found a few numbers of therapists that take our insurance. I need help. I'm not only stuggling with IF, but with a host of other things. My anxiety has kicked back up recently...and it's distracting. I know I need to just take the plunge and make an appointment for myself...but I don't like that I feel like that makes me seem weak, like I can't handle my own issues (and I know I have some). But I feel so drained all the time trying to keep it together and keep a brave face. 

    FFC/AW of the Week (no rules): I went to a barre class tonight at a Gold's Gym near me. It's not what I thought it would be. I was so excited about it because it's ballet-like and I LOVE ballet. Next time I'm going to an actual barre studio.
    Anniversary
