Weekly Check In 10/27/15

[cbowl]

Hi y'all!

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? I'm doing okay...feeling very frustrated on a few fronts! First, I found out last week that my HCG is still 38 and that I have retained tissue from my D&C. So I'm in limbo requiring weekly testing to confirm it drops. Has this happened to anyone else?

Second, I had a RE appointment for repeat loss consultation and he said I need to wait 6 months because my losses are not related. I had just found out my most recent M/C occurred due to a chromosomal abnormality. So I'm just stuck and frustrated.

How was your weekend? Weekend was good otherwise...I had a fun girls night with some friends.

Anything new to share? See above

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? She has learned that she can make us laugh...so she's been hamming it up!

QOTW: what's your favorite candy? Dark chocolate sea salt caramels...or Reeses Peanut Butter Cups

Hi ladies!
How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? I am doing good physically but emotionally I have had my ups and downs this week. I went to my workout class on Tuesday and there was a girl that they announced was 6 months pregnant. That's how far along I would be right now. I went to my car after class and cried. It usually doesn't bother me to see pregnant women but this time it did.
How was your weekend? It was good! We had our family pictures taken and the rain held off so I was happy about that. DS has a bad cold it started Sunday.
Anything new to share? Just a BFN yesterday still no AF so I will test again in a few days.
What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? Since he has been sick I have got lots of extra cuddles and quality time with him. He loves the alphabet and is already matching upper and lower case letters together. I love watching him learn.
QOTW: what's your favorite candy? Ghirardelli chocolate with carmel

cbowl so sorry your HCG is still not negative and I really hope it gets there soon. My body got ride of the retained tissue on its own at about 4 weeks after my m/c induced by cytotec.
It was like AF came but it wasn't AF then two weeks later my hcg was 0.

So sorry for the bfn and the rough week cassey910 !

unringthebell I know I was wondering where everyone was. I had a loss before my LO which was early so suspected chromosomal. But my loss at 17 weeks in May was not chromosomal - they never were able to figure out what happened. So with the one in September being chromosomal, neither my OB nor my RE believe they're related or that it is truly RPL.

unringthebell I haven't seen any sneak peaks yet. It should be any day now so I'm trying to be patient lol. I didn't even think about Christmas cards, so we may do that

I was just going to wait to check in until Monday, but I have a few minutes, so I thought I would check in now.

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? I am doing well physically and emotionally.

How was your weekend? My weekend was great. Our friends came over last Saturday. They have a daughter who is 6 weeks older than DS, so they played together. Sunday we went Great Wolf Lodge, which is 2.5 hours away from us. I had a conference there on Monday and Tuesday, so we got there early on Sunday and played in the waterpark and had a fun day.

Anything new to share? Not that I can think of.

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? Our adventures at Great Wolf Lodge. He loves water and swimming, so he was very happy.

QOTW: what's your favorite candy? It depends on the day. My top one probably is Reese's peanut butter cups.

Sorry I'm way late this week. I've just really been struggling. It's hard to come to this site anymore since everyone I came onto TTCAL with is basically having their babies now or already had them. I just feel so left behind. It doesn't help that I am having the longest cycle ever. I finally O'd yesterday on CD25. I came in for monitoring every day at my RE this week except Monday. The RE was trying to make me feel better yesterday and said "You must be so tired of transvaginal ultrasounds but you finally ovulated so this is and your next one will be your early pregnancy ultrasound". And I just burst into tears. Because after 2 years, 4 losses, 2 retrievals, and 1 failed transfer I honestly have no hope left. Sorry to be a complete debby downer but I wanted to explain why I've been MIA. I'm going to try and log in more and be supportive here but it's just so hard for me right now. Anyway, FET is next Wednesday and we'll find out two Fridays after that if it was successful.
