WTDS 5/2

[gabride2010]

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.

Numbers:

Circumstances:

RRNFNSQ:

GTKY: What is your favorite movie?

[caer]

Numbers: 14 months since beginning TFAS; 2 months(ish) post-D&C

Circumstances: waiting for AF to burn the bench

RRNFNSQ: I'm hoping this is my last week here! We got the ok from our RE to TTC again since my hcg was down to 2 but it didn't get down to that level until post-O so I'm just waiting for AF at this point. If I'm right about my O date and my LP is the same post-loss, AF should be here tomorrow.

GTKY: What is your favorite movie? The Princess Bride

[gabride2010]

I hope your period comes soon caer!

Numbers: Cycle 3, Month 5 CD 47

Circumstances: TTC #1

RRNFNSQ: I'm frustrated with my body. Last cycle I ovulated on CD 29, and I'm still WTO at CD 47. I had an almost + this weekend with FMU, but I tested again that afternoon, and it was obviously negative. The OPKs are playing with my mind. The last 2 cycles (before the last one) I ovulated on CD 52 and 53, so I'm hopeful that I will ovulate in a few days.

GTKY: What is your favorite movie? What to Expect When You're Expecting

[caer]

I'm so sorry gabride2010. That must be incredibly frustrating. I hope you O soon.

[wildflower810]

Numbers: CD 18, pretty sure yesterday was O

Circumstances: Waiting until next cycle to TTC

RRNFNSQ: Ah! We might have successfully TTA our entire time! I'm also super excited that O was so clear to pinpoint this cycle. My body is still getting back in the swing of things after weaning DS.

GTKY: What is your favorite movie? Oh, this is a hard one. I'm not sure!

[gabride2010]

Thank you caer! I really appreciate it. I love The Princess Bride too!

wildflower810 I'm glad your chart was clear to interpret this cycle.

[icedtea]

Good luck caer!

gabride2010, I occasionally convince myself that OPKs are sentient and out to get me.

wildflower810, glad things are making sense!

Numbers: Cycle 8, month 10, 2 months AL, CD 75

Circumstances: TTC

RRNFNSQ: Still have two weeks before I go to the doctor, but I'm hoping I'll get my period before that and will be able to cancel the appointment. I don't even care about a positive at this point, I just want to get out of the limbo of this stupid cycle. On the plus side, we have a super busy summer ahead of us so that should keep me distracted as we inch closer to the 1 year mark.

GTKY: What is your favorite movie? Depends on the day, which I know is a cop out. But I'm almost always up for Moulin Rouge.

[caer]

That great you were able to pinpoint O wildflower810!

I hope you won't need your appointment icedtea. I'm sorry you're in limbo.

[flyinghorses6]

I just intro'ed so I hope its ok that I post...and if this isn't where I belong please let me know...

Numbers: 5 weeks post chemical pregnancy

Circumstances: I'm not quite sure what to expect with the CP occurring last month. I started bleeding at what would have been 5 weeks (based on LMP) and that was 4 weeks 3 days ago. My period is technically late, but not sure if the CP could be affecting when it would start. Naturally I haven't POAS because I'm a procrastinator in the biggest sense of the word (and I really really don't want to go through the emotional roller coaster of last month again).

RRNFNSQ: I honestly have no idea what this acronym stands for...

GTKY: What is your favorite movie? 10 Things I Hate About You...because PATRICK VERONA

[wildflower810]

caer, icedtea, and flyinghorses6, I hope for all of you that AF shows soon!

Ha ha ha thank you!

[caer]

I'm sorry for your loss flyinghorses6.

[gabride2010]

Yes! That's exactly how this feels icedtea. I hope your period comes soon.

flyinghorses6 Welcome to WTDS! I'm so sorry for your loss.

Hai mosdub! I hope everything is going well for you!

[amandamh2]

Hope AF comes soon caer! Also Princess Bride is a fantastic movie
Sorry for the body frustrations gabride2010. Hope you O soon.
Yay for success with TTA wildflower810
Hope you won't need the appointment icedtea and that your summer is a good one.
Welcome here flyinghorses6! So sorry for your loss.


Numbers: unknown

Circumstances: BFing 1 year old, still waiting on PP AF

RRNFNSQ: So tired of this waiting game. I stupidly got rid of a bunch of my old clothes last fall thinking I would never fit into them again but now it's summer and I have nothing left. I've picked up a couple replacements yet am hesitant to buy too much since I'm hoping for a pregnancy despite no AF. I'm not ready to be done BFing but I didn't think it would interfere with my periods for this long.

GTKY: The Harry Potter series. If I had to pick just one of them it would probably be Prisoner of Azkaban.

[gabride2010]

Thanks amandamh2. Sorry your period still hasn't come. That is so frustrating. I like the HP series too, although I can't seem to make it through all of the 5th one (?? The one after the Goblet of Fire
-which is my favorite)

[caer]

I'm sorry AF still hasn't returned amandamh2. FX it happens soon!

[Deleted]

Numbers: CD 5

Circumstances: TTA for now -- maybe burning the bridge this cycle, maybe in a few more months if we get accepted to a particular travel opportunity (should know which it is in a couple weeks)

RRNFNSQ: after a couple super hectic weeks I'm really happy to have some time to relax and get stuff done at home!

GTKY: Favorite movie...hmm...this is hard! I'd have to say my all time favorite movie is still The Little Mermaid. It's hard to pick a "grown up" favorite because it depends on my mood, but my childhood favorite is still high on the list!

[Deleted]

I hope everyone's bodies cooperate -- it sounds like there are a lot of cycle frustrations this week! Sending good thoughts to all of you gabride2010, amandamh2, caer, icedtea,

[Deleted]

Well, since posting earlier I found out that we did NOT get into the thing in March that would have caused us to put off TTC longer. So...I guess we're going to have a discussion tonight and figure out where this takes us!

Of course, I'm still having Luteal Phase Defect, so it's entirely likely that nothing will happen until after I can see my doctor this summer. And stupid insurance made me push back the appointment because a physical has to be 366 days since my last one. But we'll get there!

[gabride2010]

Thanks @bonzo2012! Good luck with that conversation. I hope y'all get to start TTC soon!

[Deleted]

Hey Ladies, I think we're officially burning the TTA bench. Moving back to NTNP after 26 cycles is annoying, but it is what is.

Thanks for all your support the past few months.

[jellybeantoes]

I don't really know where I fit in right now but I think here seems best.

Numbers: Cycle/month 1

Circumstances: I had my IUD removed a week ago. I had Skyla for 3 years and for for the 12 years before that, I'd been on Depo, the Nuvaring, and various BCPs. H and I decided we'd TTC about 2 months ago so I started PNVs then and I've also been temping but not religiously, though I am trying to get better with that.

RRNFNSQ: I haven't gotten a period yet since having my IUD removed so I guess that's what I'm waiting on? I don't really know, honestly.

GTKY: What is your favorite movie? Steel Magnolias

[wildflower810]

@wallflwr926, :hugs:

[Deleted]

Hugs, @wallflwr926

and welcome jellybeantoes!

[gabride2010]

So many hugs @wallflwr926.

Welcome WTDS jellybeantoes. I hope your period comes soon. Temping with an IUD won't show you anything, so no worries about not temping everyday. I have so much love for Steel Magnolias! It is such an awesome movie.

[kbpkitty]

Numbers: CD 68, 20 days past IUD removal, 6 days past possible O (per OPK).

Circumstances: waiting for cycles that had already been wonky for three months after a year or so of regularity to even out post-Mirena.

RRNFNSQ: I'm impatient. And I'm impatient because it's easier than being afraid of PCOS, which I have some indicators of. Years ago, I was told by a gyn that there's a good chance I have it, but that they wouldn't do anything about it when I was TTA anyway so don't worry about it. And so now I'm paranoid I waited too long.

GTKY: I cannot possibly be expected to answer this because it has a ton of different answers based on genre, mood, etc.

[gabride2010]

Welcome kbpkitty! Sorry you might have PCOS. It can be such a frustrating diagnosis! FX you really did ovulate!
