Re: TTC/3T Check-in

  • Where are you at in your TTC journey? 
    I am in the 2 week wait of our 3rd cycle trying, 2nd cycle after having a CP.  

    Any testing coming up?
    Will wait until AF is due.

    Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..)
    It's a chill weekend and we got a new couch that we love. Nothing crazy exciting, but good overall.

    FFC/AW of the Week (no rules):
    --I spent way too much money on accent pillows and a lamp to go with our new couch. I am normally very frugal and still got good deals, but spending over $150 was way more than I anticipated....but I love them!

  • Nothing new here.  I did speak with our agency last week just to ask a bunch of random questions, and they are estimating our wait to be matched at 15 months.  Ew, yuck, I want it to happen faster.  Of course, the woman who did our homestudy told us that for every couple who waits three years, another couple waits 2 months... so be ready.  So I did begin putting together a little bag *just in case* we get a call for a baby that has been born.  I think doing little things to prepare occasionally will keep my spirits up.

    We are on a massive budget for 2017 to pay for adoption, so that's been a challenge, but also a good distraction.  I'm keeping a spreadsheet of everything we spend and it's been kind of an eye-opener as to how much we were spending without paying attention.

  • I had an appt with my OB last week which went well.  She said we could TTC as soon as we want to again and my HCG was at a 2 so no more blood draws thank goodness.  I feel back to myself already.  My energy is back and I'm back to all my normal routines.  I do find myself down at times but they are far and few in between.  I rely a lot on my yoga practice and I believe it has helped me thru the process.  I'm feeling very good about getting back into it with the small break I had.

    OB said I could get my progesterone checked in February for the CD21 check that I didn't have in December.  I will feel good once that is said and done with. Other than that we are just going with the flow.  I'm not tracking and probably won't for awhile.  It's just better for me that way.  I know my body really well at this point.
