@eliida thanks for the check-in! Sorry to hear your laptop is dead and your phone is acting up as well. Hope you will be able to get online properly soon again!

@samrs22 Welcome! I'm sorry for your losses and that you find yourself here, but am glad you came out of lurkerdome and I hope you'll find support&comfort here. TTCAL is hard!! It's been relatively quiet here lately but the ladies are absolutely awesome

AFM, currently 14 days into stims for IVF#2, going in for my 2nd follie check tomorrow morning. I had my 1st follie check this past Sunday and things were looking rather meh. My right ovary has apperently checked out completely after recieving the memo on my POF/DOR dx LOL, no measurable follies whatsoever. On the left a grand total of 2 follies, both still under 8mm (though that wasn't a surprise really as IVF#1 taught is I'm a slow responder on top of everything else), lining was at 4.4mm which was fine. On Monday I had my check-up hysteroscopy and endo scratch. The inside of my ute looked good and no signs of newly formed adhesions or anything, yay! The "scratch" went okay although it was effing painful!! I've been spotting since Monday, which was to be expected, but this morning I suddenly wiped fresh bright red which has me a little concerned tbh.

NCALR As I wrote in last weeks WuW MH lost his job unexpectedly, which hasn't been great for my already high-on-hormones emotional state and what not:P We have been appointed legal council through the union who is helping MH getting all shit sorted, which takes away some of the stress. I'm mostly hoping we can sort this without having to go to court. And good news: he found a new job as per 1/1/17! What a relief. For my own new job I'm going through screening and what not atm and hopefully will be cleared to start 12/1. Looking forward to this new adventure

All in all I have to say I'm not feeling great thanks to the hormones and stress. Have had a bad migrainelike headache since Tuesday that just doesn't want to take a hike, I'm feeling worn out and exhausted even though I sleep prtty good, am either stone cold or overheating and am just generally feeling low and out of sorts. I blame the dark days and sucky weather, too much stress, and IVF hormones! I know it'll get better again so am just riding it out.. but meh!

@eliida, so good to hear from you! How are you? I tried texting you the other day but since you're phone is acting up maybe you didn't get it. I hope you're well. Are you cycling?

@samrs22, hi, I'm so glad you decided to join us over here. We're a small but awesome group and we're happy to have you. Welcome.

muscari, ugh, so much going on with you! I'm sure it's overwhelming. I'm so glad YH got a new job already, hopefully that decreases a bit of your stress. I have everything crossed that you get good news tomorrow and you get rid of that nasty headache soon. ((Hugs))

AFM, had my baseline appointment this morning. My ultrasound looked good (no cysts and no signs that I've ovulated) but still waiting for results of bloodwork. I should hear this afternoon. If it looks ok I will FINALLY start stims this weekend. Really hoping the third time is the charm!

ETA QOTW: I'm not! I've been so lazy. I need to get my ass back to the gym.

[muscari]

Oh cali, I'm so happy to read baseline went okay and your ovaries are behaving so far! No cysts yay and no ovulation woot! Hopefully the BW comes back quick and you'll get the go ahead to start stims this weekend. So excited for you! *hugs*

Just realized I forgot the QoTW. I was just complaining to MH that I hated all the rain we're having these days cause it's seriously messing up with my plans to get out for daily walks. I know we have waterproof jackets and all that but I don't feel die hard enough to go out for a fun walk in the pouring rain LOL. I've been pondering whether to buy an exersize bike or something...

Hi, newbie here.

1. How are you? I am okay. My m/c happened during a really busy period at work, so I've just been diving hard into that as a distraction. I'm going away with some girlfriends for the weekend. I'm excited for it, but also a little anxious that they'll expect me to want to talk more than I do.

2. What is your status? (TTC, TTA, etc.) TTC I suppose, officially, but I'm only a week past D&C. The bleeding is finally ending, and the doc recommended another week before sex, so we're just in see what happens mode.

3. Tell us something about yourself - Hobbies? Pets? Favorite TV show? Anything you'd like to share! My avatar is my dog and three cats. I'm involved in community theater and produce a body positive burlesque show. I'm disappointed by Season 6 of American Horror Story.


QOTW: Now that it's getting cold outside, how are you staying active? That's a solid question that I haven't really thought about. I injured my back on Labor Day, and found I was pg the day I was supposed to have an MRI done, so that all got canceled in favor of pg specific physical therapy. Now I'm getting an MRI done today, and the results of that will probably determine how active I get to be.

Hi all. Thanks for the welcome earlier this week. Where the hell did the past couple days go?!

1. How are you? I am ok - at the suggestion of some wonderful ladies on TCF I demanded betas from my dr since I am still testing positive almost 8 weeks after my miscarriage. The nurse line at the clinic kept suggesting I wait another couple weeks. I got pissed with waiting and demanded the blood work.

2. What is your status? (TTC, TTA, etc.) Cue Jeopardy music. I guess I am waiting until my body figures stuff out but will be TTC once that happens

3. Tell us something about yourself - Hobbies? Pets? Favorite TV show? Anything you'd like to share! I have an insane amount of Christmas decorations and I am patiently waiting to start decorating. H says not until after Thanksgiving. I think he is wrong.


QOTW: Now that it's getting cold outside, how are you staying active? I have sucked at being active lately. I went into a chocolate eating/no workout frenzy. But I have a couple Beachbody workouts that I really like. I keep telling myself that I should start doing them...

Update: my bw came back all good so I officially start stims for my first IVF cycle on Sunday. Finally!

muscari, thanks, I'm excited too!

kbpkitty, body positive burlesque show?? Sounds really cool!

lunalovegood, I totally agree with YH, Thanksgiving first THEN Christmas! Lol

[lunalovegood]

kbpkitty your burlesque show sounds awesome!

HI ladies! I'm fashionably late as usual!

CALR - Sitting in the 2WW but honestly I'm not feeling too good about this cycle. Having a housemate who is nosey and stressful is really not helping all of this. To top it off H's dad is having open heart surgery today and it's just making me feel more like a failure. I can't give anyone grandkids and it's a reminder that our parents are getting older and older.

NCALR - I'm so over this year. I'm tired of school and people and my students. I'm ready for a new semester. I also sorrow for todays youth (says the 26 yr old). So many of my students in my 200 level college class just can NOT follow a syllabus. Also why wait until the NIGHT BEFORE a project/paper is due and then TEXT your teacher on her cell phone that was for emergency contact only? I would have never dared to do something like that. OK. enough ranting. LOL

QOTW: I really want to get back into yoga. And as soon as it snows I will have shoveling to keep me busy and exercising.

Thanks! We've been going for about a year and a half now. We started out all plus size performers, but now we just focus on showcasing as many body types as we possibly can, including different levels of dis/ability.
