Bi-weekly Wine and Cheese (2/4)

[therealbug]

Hi ladies! It's that time again!


Share what's going on in your life ~

[therealbug]

Hi ladies!

Sorry I have not been around but my first week has been CRAZY!

I had my follow-up appointment with the OB and he said everything looked fine. The pathology came back that my polyp was actually a fibroid. It was located low, right above my cervix. The OB then told me (after having told Mr.Bug that there was no septum) that maybe there might have been a little bit of a septum but not to worry - because I had a normal vaginal birth. When I reminded him that no, I had a loss at 20 weeks he then told me the possible septum is not an issue since I did not have a history of early losses.

So, looks like it's time to find a new doc. But that will have to wait until I can figure out when I can actually schedule appointments and such with the new job.

[meredithcarole]

Hey therealbug! Thanks for the check in.

I am glad the new job has you busy - hopefully it is a good kind of busy

As for your doctor, that sucks that he seems confused about your history as well as your anatomy. I am wondering how he mistook a fibroid for a polyp simply because of location? I had one that was right by my cervix, too. Of course, I'm no expert so what do I know. Anyway, I wish you luck in your search for a new doctor. Hopefully you will find one in whom you have total confidence.

AFM: I am just getting back in the swing of things at work. I've been getting a bit worn out due to the active nature of my position, but on the plus side it didn't hit me until today (my "Thursday") so I do think my stamina is returning. I got dashed crosshairs so I am not totally convinced FF had this month's O date correct, but I will know once AF shows as my LP is pretty steady. My cover line is higher than normal with the date it is giving me. I do only have one more cycle on the bench so burning it is something to look forward to.

I hope everyone has a great week!

[skategirl128]

Hi therealbug! Thanks for the check in!

I'm sorry your dr seemed confused on your history. I hope you can find one who can work with you and who has your best interests at heart. Big hugs to you!

meredithcarole I'm glad you're doing better! Big hugs to you too!

Things are ok over here. My treatment plan is in place and the ct scan didn't show any other growths! I got that good news today.

I started on my first round of meds to prep for surgery. I need to be on them for about a month prior to surgery so it's looking like I'll be having that in March. They are still trying to figure out the best plan of attack for the surgery itself. I'll have one more scan right before. They will analyze the tumors once they're out. After surgery it's a couple rounds of modified chemo and a year long course of the meds I've already started.

We have a positive attitude over here about all of it! I'm a fighter and I'm not afraid. I honestly feel much better (emotionally) now that I have some answers. I'm mostly just scared of the surgery itself but I know I'm in good hands. SO and I have been dealing with things remarkably well and I take how I feel a day at a time.

Big hugs if you made it through my rambling!

[menrandes]

therealbug Thanks for the check-in!
Ugh..I hope you can see a new Dr soon. Being that confused on your history is a little ridiculous. Hopefully you can find a much better one!

meredithcarole Woo! One cycle to go. Burn that freaking bench!


skategirl128 Big **hugs** FX that when the time come, your surgery goes smoothly. You seem so incredibly strong in the face of a potentially scary thing. I think that's pretty amazing lady. **big hugs**


AFM: Just trying to figure this cycle out. Still spotting. Still no clear O. So I'm thinking it's an anno cycle. Once I am on CD 1 (which I hope I'm not missing it on the spotting days), I can set up my tests with my RE and hopefully finally get some answers. 5 years of trying this Saturday. Beyond that, not much going! Our anniversary is Saturday. Dependent on when my husband works we will probably go on a bike ride and have steak on the grill. Our real celebration (our trip) is still a month away and I am seriously counting down the days to that.


Have some cheese!  I seriously want to reach through the screen and eat that cheese right now. 

[rubysi]

Hello Lovelies!

therealbug Thanks for the party. I like that the new job is keeping you busy. Sorry about your Dr.

meredithcarole Hi. I am glad you are better and your stamina is returning, it is always difficult returning to work.

skategirl128 Hugs. Keep that positive attitude it will help you through recovery too. Stay strong lady!

menrandes That month will go by quickly and you have something to look forward to.Have fun on your Anniversary ride. I am sorry about that 5 year marker. We are about to hit 11 in March.

AFM: Not much has changed over here. Still waiting on the loan, dh was ill during fw so I took femara for nothing:( The upside no stressing in the tww and plenty of guilt free alcohol). I did get a new boss last week and she is awesome.

[megrae12]

Good morning my lovelies!!

therealbug I am glad you loving your job. As far as your doc, I can't believe he was that clueless!!! FX you can find one soon and he is much better than dumb ass you have now.

meredithcarole I am sorry work is keeping you busy, FX things calm down soon.

skategirl128 I am glad you are feeling good about your treatment plan. You have been on my mind lately. You are amazing and so strong in the face of all this craziness. So many ((Hugs))

menrandes I am sorry that this cycle is being crazy. FX AF comes soon so you can get in for testing. ((Hugs))

rubysi I am sorry YH was sick during FW, that sucks. Enjoy your guilt free, though

AFM: I am in full pity party mode and I am not happy with my body. Aside from the fact that I had the prettiest chart ever in my time charting, I think my endo is coming back and growing on my colon. I was cramping/hurting from back there on day one of AF. I am not happy about this and I dunno if I even want to mention to my doc when I go in for my annual. I just don't have another Lap in me. I know that is neither here nor there and doing the best I can for me is important, but I can't really take a chance that Lefty will get nicked or anything. Lefty is my only hope w/o going all out for IVF (aside from that fact that financially, it's impossible).

On the non-TTC front, MIL is leaving next weekend!!! I am over the moon ecstatic and I am so looking forward to packing her up and saying bye. That sounds terrible, but it is what it is and I am not ashamed. Lots of ((Hugs)) ladies!!

[Smootiepie]

therealbug crazy first weeks are always good, IMO. GL w/ the looking for a new doc, old one sounds like a real twat

meredithcarole so looking forward to you burning you bench!!

skategirl128 You are so much stronger than I could ever be in your situation. ((Huge Hugs)) for what you're going through, love.

menrandes GL w/ the RE, hopefully it will shed some light.

rubysi so sorry DH was sick, but I'm diggin' your attitude!!

megrae12 ((Hugs)) sweetie. I'm not fully versed on endo, but I would mention it to your doc. That way you can get her 2 cents, and choose at that point whether or not you want to pursue anything invasive.

AFM: I think most of you know from lurking on PgAL (CAR???), but I got a BFP from IVF #1 on 1/27. Betas doubled in 42 hours, so for now, I'm feeling rather positive. I'm already passed the point when I had my CP w/ my last pg, so I think that is helping me feel more positive as well. First appt is 2/16. I'll be lurking the crap out of this check-in moving forward, cuz you know I'm ALWAYS rooting for my 6+ lovelies!

[megrae12]

Smootiepie I am still so freaking excited for you, lovey!!

[4furrypaws]

therealbug That is so frustrating! I hope you can find a new one you are comfortable with. Yay for busy work week! Makes the time go by fast!

meredithcarole I'm glad your stamina is coming back!

skategirl128 You are amazing lady! So brave!

menrandes Did you call and ask about the spotting?

rubysi Sorry you missed FW hun. Yay for new boss! Wish I could get a new one that I liked!

megrae12 So many (((hugs))) hun. I hear ya on the 'not good place' right now. Me either. But thank goodness MIL is almost gone!!!!!

Smootiepie Oh sweetie you know we are routing for you too!!!

AFM...I've been slipping down and need to get this nipped in the butt before it gets too bad. See my shrink tonight. Next week is FW so I hope we can get work done to cover ALL the bases.

Just pluggin along.

(((hugs))) ladies

[menrandes]

4furrypaws Big **hugs** I hope your appointment tonight goes well!!

I called my Dr, but I am waiting for a call back. Still spotting...so...yeah, don't know. We are probably not going to do tests next cycle at this point if the spotting leads into a full flow. We are paying for the tests out of pocket, so if there is a chance that they wouldn't be accurate because my days are off that would simply be too expensive of a mistake.
So, I'm pretty freaking bummed right now.

[lizblue]

Hiya my 6 plus-ers. I always miss this check in until it's way late so I thought I'd jump in now!

Thanks for the check in therealbug: I'm so psyched for your new job and glad you are liking it so far! I have visions of you standing up in court yelling, I OBJECT. That's what happens, right?

skategirl128 Congrats on no new growth! I've been thinking of you a lot. You can do this surgery, you can do anything. Also - they give you great drugs for surgery. That's always been my consolation prize. I don't mean to make light of this - you sound super strong and I'm proud of you.

meredithcarole glad you are on the mend!

menrandes Happy upcoming anniversary! Where are you going on your trip? I leave for a cruise in 33 days and I can't. freaking. wait.

rubysi Yay for guilt free alcohol. I'm glad you like your new boss - it makes all the difference.

megrae12 ((hugs)) friend. My doc has told me he is 99% sure I have endo but that we don't have to do anything about it until the pain gets too bad. It's so hard to judge - how much pain is too much? It's a shitty thing to go through and I'm sorry yours is coming back YAY FOR MIL LEAVING! Focus on the good my friend.

4furrypaws ((hugs)) I'm glad you are seeing your shrink. I hope you feel better soon. On a side note: I kind of feel guilty for spoiling SOA for that person in the TV thread. I wasn't thinking. Oops. But am I wrong in thinking everyone should really know how this one's gonna end? I'll say no more!

AFM: As I mentioned in my AW thread earlier in the week - in a surprising turn of events, my H and I are looking into adoption. No one is more surprised by this than me. But it feels right. We'll see what happens, but for now I'm feeling proactive and excited, and dare I say --hopeful? Also - my sister who just had a baby in November (I was in the delivery room for it) is pregnant again. Due in November. This is the sister who tried to bond with me because she was soooo infertile (because it took her four months to get KU). Eye roll. I love her and I'm excited, but some days it's just hard to deal.

Thanks for listening y'all. xo

[megrae12]

4furrypaws ((Hugs)) my dear friend. I hope your appointment goes well.

lizblue Love ya lady. I am so happy you and YH decided to pursue adoption. I am hoping and praying that things go smoothly. I am sorry about your sister. I know that has to be very tough. ((Hugs)) sweet friend.

[sarcaztic10]

therealbug I seriously want to TP your Dr and I hope that you are able to schedule an appt with a new one soon. I am still so happy for you with your new job!

meredithcarole I am glad you are getting your stamina back and feeling better!

skategirl128 I am so glad you have a positive outlook and a plan and I think about you often.

menrandes I am sorry that you have to wait on testing big (((Hugs)))

rubysi Yay for a boss that you like! I am sorry you missed your FW but enjoy being guilt free!

megrae12 More (((Hugs))) friend. Yay for MIL leaving though I hope she takes all of her crap with her!

Smootiepie I am so happy for you and I hope you have a H&H 9 months over on PGAL.

4furrypaws (((hugs))) I hope your appt goes well tonight.

lizblue Yay for feeling hopeful! I have everything crossed that everything goes smoothly in your new adventure!

AFM: I got my Counsyl test back and I am a carrier for a few genetic syndromes and I have 2 mutations for MTHFR. I spoke to my RE and she wants DH tested as well so he goes in next week to get some blood drawn for that to see if he is a carrier for the things I am. RE wants me to add baby aspirin, prescription folic acid, and vitamin D to the other pills I take. My medicine cabinet seriously looks like a pharmacy threw up in it.

I am in the middle of yet another confusing cycle. It wasnt confusing at all until i started spotting today at 11 DPO. I never spot and my temp has been down the last two days so I am not sure if AF is just on her way or what but for right now I am going to continue to take my progesterone at least for another day or two to see what my temp does.

[rubysi]

megrae12 yay your mil is leaving soon. I am sorry about the endo... I am rooting for lefty.

Smootiepie Your success gives me hope. I am so happy for you wishing you the best for the next 8 months.

4furrypaws Hugs feel better. I love the gardening forum It is fun chatting over there.

lizblue I look forward to following you through your adoption. I am sure it is scary and exciting. I am side eyeing your sister.

[4furrypaws]

menrandes Yeah, OOP sucks. I understand and I would be dissapointed too. ((hugs))

lizblue Even people who haven't caught up and finished the series yet know how it ends...everyone does. No worries! That would be a hard thing to be around with your sister. Again, please PM me if you have any questions regarding adoption-from the adopted child's pov. ((hugs)) sweet lady

megrae12 Thanks love, it went well. I'll be going every week for now. We've decided what we need to focus in on rifht now.

sarcaztic10 I feel like I have a pharmacy too. I'm so sorry your cycle is being stupid. FX DH's results are normal. ((hugs))

rubysi Yes! I'm going to enjoy it! Hopefully we can all learn and get good ideas from eachother...I already have!

[rachaeleigh]

Hi ladies.
Yes, I'm still on mobile, I suck. So, I can't see previous messages when responding and my avatar is MIA

Still plugging along on bcp. Thank God side effects seems to have lessened. I was also really sick last week and that has mostly subsided, except for some everlasting congestion

This coming Wed is baseline, injections class thurs, begin meds Fri!!

On a non CAL note: one of my former clients died by overdose. I work in inpatient drug and alcohol so it's not completely uncommon, but I just really cared for him and was hopeful for him. I'm more angry right now than sad

[rmpar29]

Hey ladies! I'm sorry that I'm just seeing this.

therealbug - I was just looking around for you since I hadn't seen you much this week. I hope that your job is keeping you busy in a good way! I'm so sorry about your doc being so incompetent. I hope that you are able to find a new one soon!

meredithcarole - I'm glad that you are getting some of your energy back. YAY for only one more TTA cycle!

skategirl128 - I think of you often hon, I'm just not good at keeping in touch apparently. I'm glad that your plan is in place and I hope the surgery goes better than you are expecting. You are most definitely a fighter and you can do this!!!

menrandes - (((((HUGS)))))) love! I'm so sorry that your body is so whacked out right now and that you will miss your testing. That just sucks! I will gladly TP your uterus if you'd like. I hope that the spotting stops soon so you can move on.

rubysi - I'm sorry that DH was sick during FW. ((((HUGS)))) I hope that you hear about your loan soon hon.

megrae12 - I'm so sorry love and I will be happy to bring some wine to your pity party. I hate those charts that look so good and you get your hopes up just to have them come crashing down. Much love and many ((((HUGS)))) coming your way!

Smootiepie - I'm stalking you hon! I'm so glad that your betas are looking good. Keep us posted!

4furrypaws - I'm sorry that you have been struggling lately. Did your shink help at all? ((((HUGS)))

lizblue - I'm so glad that you and DH are looking into adoption and that it feels so right. Good luck love! I'm so sorry about your sister. It's amazing how insensitive some people can be.

sarcaztic10 - I'm sorry that your cycle's being so confusing. I hope that you can get YH's test results soon. (((HUGS)))

AFM: I'm 7DPO and am hopeful for this cycle, which will suck if AF shows up. This week was my first Acupuncture appointment on my back (I'm on my stomach before O) and it was very different since she put needles in my hands so I couldn't play with my phone. I hate just laying there staring at the ceiling. Anyway, that's going well and I go again on Sunday then she's going out of town for 2 weeks and I have to see her colleague. I just got used to her sticking me and now I have to go to someone else. Anyway, if it helps then I will do it.

In NCAL news - I think I really screwed up my back and shoulders last night. DH was working both jobs yesterday and the driveway needed to be cleared out. We have an old John Deere mower that has a snowblower attachment. It works great, except when it doesn't. First, I had to run into town to get gas since DH had used the last of it and hadn't gotten more. Then, I had to blow up the tire. Then, the damn thing wouldn't start so I had to jump it with my car. I finally got it running and got about half of the driveway done when it died again. Jumped it again and finished up the driveway. Then, the garage door wouldn't close because I had left the door open and the water on the floor had turned into ice. So, I spent about 10-15 minutes chipping the ice away with a shovel. So, after two hours it was done and I was drinking wine. Today, my back and shoulders really, really hurt. I hope it feels better in the next couple days or I might have to go see a chiropractor next week.

Sorry that was so long. Guess I needed to vent!

[lizblue]

rmpar29 I'm tired just reading about your snowblower experience! I hope you feel better soon lady.

[lizblue]

rachaeleigh I'm sorry about your patient ((hugs)) best of luck with injects. I was super overwhelmed after my class but it really was easier than I thought once i got into it. There are awesome videos online to remind you how to do what. I'm rooting really hard for you!

[menrandes]

rmpar29 Lots of fingers crossed for you this cycle! Oh man...I hope your back and shoulders start to feel better soon!

rachaeleigh I'm glad to hear that your side effects have subsided! But that's awful about your patient. **hugs** I'm really sorry to hear that.

sarcaztic10 Big **hugs** on your confusing cycle and your Counsyl results.

lizblue We are going on a bike trip along the C&O canal from Cumberland MD to DC. It wont be relaxing, that's for sure, but it should be fun. Mostly I am dreading the lack of showers since we are staying at Hiker/Biker free campsites along the way.
I love cruising. My two favorite kinds of vacations are camping and cruises. Opposites for sure! Where are you going on your cruise?
I am excited for you in your new journey. I'm glad that you have some hope back. I'll be eagerly waiting to hear more about it!

[o2girl]

Hiya!!!!


I'm mobile which stinks for responding to everyone as a group so I will do it individually in a bit.

AFM: I didn't O yet, and I cannot start Lupron until I do. So, I go in on Monday for another blood draw to see if I O'd over the weekend. I didn't see my RE because of my lack of O, so my NP asked me to summarize my questions in email and she would get it to my RE. I got an email back about 10 mins later from my RE agreeing to my thoughts on doing 4 months on Lupron (instead of 3) and on the day of the 4th injection we would do a baseline u/s and start estrace priming for my FET in 3 weeks. I do think my RE is trying to humor me, because after all, these are our final tries. But with that said I'm glad he is willing to humor me and let me play doctor..........what can we lose, right?

Ugh about your sister........ I decided that when fertile women are done with their Utes they should be mandated by law to loan the use of them out to infertile woman......... Yes I had that irrational but rational discussion with MH the other day.
Nothing but best wishes for a smooth adoption process for you and YH.

AFM: I'm 7DPO and am hopeful for this cycle, which will suck if AF shows up. This week was my first Acupuncture appointment on my back (I'm on my stomach before O) and it was very different since she put needles in my hands so I couldn't play with my phone. I hate just laying there staring at the ceiling. Anyway, that's going well and I go again on Sunday then she's going out of town for 2 weeks and I have to see her colleague. I just got used to her sticking me and now I have to go to someone else. Anyway, if it helps then I will do it.

In NCAL news - I think I really screwed up my back and shoulders last night. DH was working both jobs yesterday and the driveway needed to be cleared out. We have an old John Deere mower that has a snowblower attachment. It works great, except when it doesn't. First, I had to run into town to get gas since DH had used the last of it and hadn't gotten more. Then, I had to blow up the tire. Then, the damn thing wouldn't start so I had to jump it with my car. I finally got it running and got about half of the driveway done when it died again. Jumped it again and finished up the driveway. Then, the garage door wouldn't close because I had left the door open and the water on the floor had turned into ice. So, I spent about 10-15 minutes chipping the ice away with a shovel. So, after two hours it was done and I was drinking wine. Today, my back and shoulders really, really hurt. I hope it feels better in the next couple days or I might have to go see a chiropractor next week.

Sorry that was so long. Guess I needed to vent!

I'm so sorry about your back! Feel better soon!
