WTDS 7/4

[amandamh2]

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: If you could choose an age to be forever what would you choose?

[Deleted]

Numbers: c6/m12, cd4

Circumstances: tfas with long / irregular cycles, hypothyroid and pcos

RRNFNSQ: nothing new, just hoping for a short cycle this go around (ie <40 days)

GTKY: If you could choose an age to be forever what would you choose?

I'm liking 30 right now. I'm not sure I would want to cut out all of the life experiences that come with getting older though.

Numbers: cycle 2, cd33 5dpo

Circumstances: TFAS soon. Long, irregular cycles. PCOS and type 1 diabetes.

RRNFNSQ: FF says I ovulated! Hoping it is right. My last cycle was 106 days so I am just keeping my fx that this one is much shorter.

GTKY: eh, I dont know. I am liking 26 right now but I cant say I want to stay this age. I miss being 18 because I was skinny

Numbers: I don't even know, I am a lot of weeks post miscarriage. I'm on my 9th day of progesterone today in an attempt to start a period.

Circumstances: post loss, PCOS, officially back to TTC this next cycle!

RRNFNSQ: so happy unexpected news, I had an appointment with my OB last week and he cleared me to TTC again! I have not been around much so I don't know if anyone remembers that at my last follow-up ultrasound post miscarriage the OB kind of flippantly commented about the possibility of my having a fibroid. Well I decided to make an appointment with my regular OB because I kind of wanted to know if I did or not, and if that was going to be an issue. So great news! Apparently the other OB is a complete moron because my uterus is beautiful, no signs of a fibroid at all. Also unexpectedly, he told me everything looked great and I could start TTC as soon as I wanted. Of course he also offered me a prescription for either Clomid or femara, he does no monitoring. Not super impressed with that. So I basically know that if I'm going to move forward with anything I'm going to an RE. But that is not on my radar right now. I don't think I'm ready for that. Plus I have to keep telling myself that I did get pregnant twice with PCOS and irregular Cycles. Even if so far it hasn't ended well for me, I am holding out hope that maybe it will the next time. So I think I'm going to give it a little more time, and continue to hope that the losses have been a fluke and I can really do this thing on my own.

GTKY: I would go back to 18, specifically though the summer between high school and college. Carefree, working at a pizza place, hanging out with my friends every single night, excited about the new things on the horizon. I was the healthiest and happiest I've ever been that summer. I would take that back.

Hugs nuggetrn. I hope this cycle is the one.

Numbers: I've had one post partum period. FF says I'll have another next week, but I doubt that since I'm not temping (it's just assuming I have perfect 28s), lol.

Circumstances: I have 2 daughters. We're on the fence about another and I currently have an IUD implanted. I can't decide if reading about other people's excitement makes it more or less hard to wait. I think DH will want another so I'm trying to remain open to that, but I struggle with grey area. Are we or aren't we?!?!? He's nearing 40 so if we are, we won't wait long.

RRNFNSQ: What does this mean?

GTKY: If you could choose an age to be forever what would you choose? Physically probably 18/20 but I like myself intellectual and emotionally MUCH better now so I wouldn't trade the jiggly places and joint cracking back unless I got to keep my maturity!

Hi pearlvirus!!

That means rants/raves/no flame no shame questions

So really whatever is on your mind

[penguin129]

Yay nuggetrn! I'm happy you got good news at your appointment and have no fibroids. I hope your cycle straightens out soon. Hugs.

[pearlvirus]

Thanks nuggetrn and hello!

The main thing on my mind is that over the weekend, we lost our dog. She was old and sick and it was not a surprise, but still super sad. MH especially has taken it really hard. Sunrise sunset, eh?

[bradysalon]

Numbers: Cycle 1/ CD20

Circumstances: TTA until we are ready to TFAS.

RRNFNSQ: my temps are all over the place. Pre baby, I O'd on CD 14 or 15 every month. Now, I have no idea what's going on. I don't know if my temps are messed up because of sleep issues or if I really haven't O'd yet. This is my 4th or 5th PP period but the first one that I have tracked.

GTKY: If you could choose an age to be forever what would you choose?
I think 25. I was somewhat skinny and had a ton of energy. I was also having the time of my life. If I could have my life now and be 25- that would be awesome.

[amandamh2]

Total post and run the other day haha

Numbers: cycle 2, CD 22

Circumstances: TFAS, seeing if PP cycles are normalizing or not

RRNFNSQ: I assume we're in the TWW now even accounting for slightly longer cycles. I'm committing to not POAS until July 20 so if you see me talking about doing so earlier talk me down!

GTKY: 21 was a really good year, spent the first 2/3 doing awesome things with DH, friends, and being awesome at school then found out I was pregnant with DS in August. It made the last year of my degree crazy but awesome, I felt like after doing that I could do anything.

FX for a shorter cycle @sparky85 and obi
Yay for being cleared to TTC nuggetrn
Hi pearlvirus! Sorry to hear about your dog. Best of luck to you and your H as you decide on a third child or not.
Best of luck figuring out your PP cycles bradysalon. I was not prepared for how different things would be post-baby
