WTDS 3/14

[bonzo2012]

This is the Waiting to do Something thread posted once a week (usually on Mondays - sometimes not) for those of us that experience long, extended cycles. Whether it's medicated cycles, long (45ish + days) cycles, postpartum/breastfeeding, TTA, on the bench, or something else, this is the place we gather throughout the week to discuss and vent about our slightly unique situation.

QOTW: What's your favorite spring tradition?

[bonzo2012]

Numbers: Cycle 3 TTA, CD 8

Circumstances: avoiding a due date during my first semester teaching

Rants: no rants today, generally feeling pretty good this week!

Raves: I'm feeling really good about how we've been moving forward with our IF diagnosis while riding out this last TTA cycle. It took some time for H and I to process, but this week I've got a "we can do this" attitude so that's really nice.

NFNSQ: none

QOTW: I love getting outside and gardening again when the weather gets nice. We don't have any traditions outside of holidays, but all the baking with Passover is fun and tasty!

Numbers: almost 4 months PP

Circumstances: EBF, waiting for first PPP so we can chart to avoid for a little bit before TTC #3.

No real rants or raves. We're thinking about moving up our TTC timeline from May 2018 to more like December 2017, depending on when AF returns, of course. It took 10 months after I had DS. I'm so happy with our little family right now but we know we definitely want more so no real reason to wait too long, other than arbitrary career-related timelines we've set for ourselves.

No Flame No Shame Questions: none

QOTW: What's your favorite spring tradition?
Every year I travel to my family in NJ for Passover. I actually hate the holiday lol but it's nice to see family and friends and stay for a few days.

[bonzo2012]

dashook, that's nice that you're able to spend Passover with family! We haven't gone back home for Passover since moving away, but we have a fantastic family that "adopted" us when we move here, and seder with them is a ton of fun too!

[pearlvirus]

Numbers: TTA until at least May

Circumstances: We have an almost 3yo and a 16 month old. We're moving April 1 and need some time to settle before taking on another thing.

Rants: Also, 19 months apart was terrrrrrrible, so not doing that again.

Raves: We start swim lessons tomorrow and it is a super warm therapy pool, so I'm going to pretend it's summer.

No Flame No Shame Questions: I can't decide if we should do the sex timing thing to try to get a boy or not. We have 2 girls. Part of me thinks another of the same would be easiest and part of me is super curious about how a boy is different. Who knows if it would even work. I'd probably just miss the fertile window and not get either one!

QOTW: What's your favorite spring tradition? Hmmmm, tulips? We're not religious so I can think about right now is no more snow. Going outside is going to be amazing!!

[robotpcr]

Numbers: CD25/6dpo according to FF, 7 according to me


Circumstances: last cycle TTA next cycle



Rants: FF is still annoying me by being wrong



Raves: nothing specific



No Flame No Shame Questions : none this week



QOTW: What's your favorite spring tradition? Normally sitting on our back porch when our cherry trees bloom. Sadly they already had buds and winter came back and it's freezing now so I don't know if we'll get blooms at all. I might cry about this.

[robotpcr]

pearlvirus I've thought about the timing thing (I know a doctor who swears by it) but at the end of the day I think it's just 50/50 probably regardless.

[bonzo2012]

robotpcr, I hope your cherry trees are able to bloom despite the confusing weather! Cherry blossoms are so pretty!

Aw, thanks! It'll break my heart if not because those trees were one of the reasons we bought this house and it's unlikely we'll still be here next spring.

alwayscheese, I'm sorry you're in a slump. Spend some time taking care of yourself, I know how hard it can be but you can do it. Hugs!

[robotpcr]
