Re: TTC/3T Check-in

  • Where are you at in your TTC journey? Cycle 3 CD 26

    Any testing coming up? Nope unless I miss my period.  It's due to come on Friday.

    Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..)  I'm over analyzing every little thing going on in my body this month and I need to stop especially if I'm not pregnant.  I was missing DD yesterday and wishing I was pregnant.  I've pretty much convinced myself I'm not.

    FFC/AW of the Week (no rules):bloating bad this week even DH made a comment about my stomach - Not cool dude.
  • I'm on oral meds now and start shots (Delestrogen) on Friday.  My thyroid levels were a little off a few weeks ago, so that will be re-tested tomorrow, as well as estrogen levels.  I'm nervous but optimistic.  Transfer is now less than a month away.

    I'm really concentrating on being as healthy as possible.  I'm eating *mostly* healthy (breakfast and lunch, but dinners are a little harder) and I've been walking 3-4 miles/day for the past few months.  The RE says that I don't need to cut out caffeine, but I did last time and I'm clinging to the fact that it was successful, so I'll probably begin weaning myself from coffee this weekend.  

    This is a super busy month with travel, a family wedding, and extended family in town, which is good... I'll be distracted in the weeks leading up to the FET.  

    H and I discussed what happens if this doesn't work.  We haven't decided.  In some ways, I don't want to even think about that, and at the same time, I want to be prepared.  Blah.

    I looked back and my last 4 cycles have been 32-36 days long.  Even though I've O'd at different times, they're getting shorter and have consistently been shorter!
    I also started baby aspirin, pomegranate juice, and will do pineapple core after ovulation.  Guess it's worth a shot until we get into the RE at the end of October.
    FFC/AW of the Week (no rules):
    It's not even the first of September and I've already halfway met my sales goal at work for the month. :smile:

  • Just noticed a spot of blood today on my underwear - boo :(  I usually start spotting but closer to the day before AF not a few days before AF.  On to cycle 4 I guess.  I had more headaches and hunger these past few days especially today when I was hungry for lunch at 11:45 which never happens.  I can usually wait until 12:30 or 1pm for lunch.  Gah I'm done with guessing symptoms.

    Where are you at in your TTC journey? Cycle #7, CD7

    Any testing coming up? I'll start OPKs on this coming Sunday (CD10). I just have my fingers crossed that I'll O on my own again this month. Only time will tell...

    Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..) My life is going to be getting a lot more stressful at work. I have officially been handed all the projects from the person that has left my office and, of course, the big one is going into the toilet right at the end of the fiscal year. I still feel like I have impostor syndrome for my job. I really hope I can do this...my boss and everyone thinks I can. I just don't want to let them down.

    FFC/AW of the Week (no rules): My dogs acted like they missed me while I was OOT for work when I got home...but right now they are sitting as far away from me as possible. LOL. They're like toddlers...

  • I know I said I usually never pregnancy test early but today was when my period was to come and I've been spotting a little bit off and on since Tuesday so I bought 2 super cheap tests at Walmart - like less than $1 and tested this afternoon.  It was negative of course.  I didn't actually get a positive until I was 4 weeks pregnant with DD so my hopes weren't high, but I've been feeling off all week - headaches, extra tired, extra bloat which could easily be related to AF coming soon.  I usually don't spot this long before it rears its head and the spotting is usually just in the morning or a little bit in the afternoon.  I probably just have my hopes high I'm sure.  AF will probably come tomorrow morning but if it doesn't I will test again with FMU.
