Informal Check-in / Feb 13, 2017

[Deleted]

@eliida, I loved c25k! I was terrible at following the times, but the general idea of it is great. I hope you're able to stick with it!

Blake and I have decided to start going on daily walks together to try to get in a bit more exercise, though lay night we got distracted and ran out of time. But back on the train tonight! Can't wait for longer days so we don't have to rush out the door as soon as he gets home before the sun goes down.

Other than that I've got a few doctors appointments this week and I really need to get the recycling in my kitchen taken care of. It has totally taken over my kitchen. Time for it to go.

I don't know the last time I tried something new. Hm. Maybe the fondue place almost a year ago? I should try more new things!

Not much going on with me these days! I'm looking into new therapy because my thoughts are dark lately.
So, I read dystopia books a lot, and I found myself wishing I lived in this one particular world over the past few days because it seemed easier. Delirium, if anyone has read it.
Yeeeah. Not good thoughts, me.
Wednesday I'm going down to Georgia for some hiking. I finally get to see Springer Mountain and the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail!
Ok, so a few days of hiking won't fulfill my lifelong dream of thru hiking, but I'm excited anyway. And apparently there are a lot of waterfall hikes in the area.


Qotw: hmmm..I don't know!! I reintroduced chocolate into my life slooooowly recently and managed it without having panic attacks like I used to have. But that's cheating, because I've been taking a xanax about an hour before hand. Science!

Love evening walks. I have this fantasy that we'll take them every night, but it usually works out to once a week. I'm looking forward to warmer and longer days, too.

Do you have to go far for the recycling?

It's mostly cans we need to return for the bottle deposit, so we just have to set aside time to take them to the store. I think we're doing it tonight along with some grocery shopping.

Eta: no, it's not far.

Hi there, I'm not sure I ever introduced myself here since there didn't seem to be anyone around. I'm Elise, and I just had my first loss in December.

Life has gotten more manageable, and I've had some pretty good moments lately. The down moments are still heartbreaking, but I don't feel like I'm suffocating anymore. Things have gotten better in my marriage too now that H and I are actually communicating.

The weekend was really nice! We got to go out for the first time together in a very long time. It was a great distraction, and I look forward to doing more.

QOTW.. the only thing that comes to mind is a new position we tried in the bedroom recently


ETA: Wow, I guess y'all are active here.. I must have been looking at a different board before  

[Deleted]

I'm so sorry for your loss notelsie. We're not super active over here, mainly just a weekly check-in. But we're here!

[ldubhawksfan]

Hey all!

Ttc related I got my period so we are cleared to TTC again after the loss. My temps are higher than my norma pre o but I'm sure my bldy is still out of sorts. Trying not to put pressure on too much sex and just be relaxed about it....ha we will see if it works!

Non-ttc not much is new. Trying to get some projects done around the house. And trying to see friends since that fell by the wayside over holidays and then in Jan due to the loss.

Qotw: I don't even know! I'm such a product of repetition with foods that I usually find what I like and get it every time! Ha

[ldubhawksfan]

Fucking crazy expensive bill for the damn d&c just knocks me back down. My FSA isn't going toward IF treatment or delivery this year, but instead another loss. 😢

I'm so sorry. Not having a baby can get expensive fast. It's really not fair. Such a punch the gut after what you've been through. *Hugs*

[cnf2013]

Can I play here? I had my first loss last month and we're heading into our second post loss cycle. H wanted to try again immediately and I don't think I was ready. I felt so frantic and overwhelmed the whole cycle. I'm hoping I'll feel less crazy during this one.

Not super new, but I went out for Greek food last week. It's been a long time since I've had true Greek food. So yummy.

[cnf2013]

ldubhawksfan that sucky about your bill. I'm sorry for unfair it all is.

I got a survey in the mail yesterday asking me about my ER visit during my loss. That went right in the garbage. I didn't feel like spewing about the shitty old man who did my pelvic exam or the panic attack I had when he just straight up forgot to discharge us.

[notelsie]

So many hugs, ladies

[mflowers929]

Hi! I realized that I kind of posted and ran lol. Things at work have been crazy. I've been working 50 hour weeks for, um, well it feels like forever. I finally decided to ask my boss to give me a Friday off, since I've worked every Friday for the past 3 months at least, so I had yesterday off, which was really nice. Hubby and I got to go out on a date and just connect a little bit. We haven't had a chance to do that since we got back from Holland in October.
Not much new around here. I was supposed to go for blood test results on Wednesday, but I got scheduled to cover the girls doing their course, so I had to reschedule it to next week. Probably won't show anything, but at least I can discuss where we are in the referral process =)

QOTW - the Vietnamese food we had last night! I finally got to try pho. Mmmm, I can't wait to go again.

Hi ladies. Sorry I've been quiet.

Our first DEgg cycle did not work. My beta last Friday was 10 and negative today.

We have one hatching BB frostie left.

I'm having a shitty time here.

4furrypaws, I'm so sorry. Many many hugs to you. Fx for that last frostie.

[cnf2013]

I'm so sorry 4furrypaws.
