Waiting To Do Something 7/25

[nuggetrn]

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: Tell me a fun fact about you. Anything at all.

[nuggetrn]

@terain!!

Just for you

Although I did think about getting this posted this morning. I was just swamped at work.

[teraiin]

Numbers: n/a

Circumstances: waiting for my first post partum period. I'm bfing so it might be awhile.

RRNFNSQ: part of me feels silly for posting in a check in already but I find myself missing commiserating and checking in with people. I'm only 11 weeks post partum so I doubt my period will return anytime soon. Even if it does we will be TTA until I'm cleared to ttc.

GTKY: Tell me a fun fact about you. Anything at all.

Hmm... I won third place in a Pokemon card game tournament when I was younger. Is that fun?

[flippinchica]

I'm gonna dip my toe in over here.

Numbers: n/a

Circumstances: also waiting for my pp period.

RRNFNSQ: DS is 11 months old and I'm starting to feel like tfas isn't completely terrifying. I feel ready to NTNP but probably should wait a bit more since I just started a new job.

Fun fact: my first job was at a theme park as a performer.

@terain what do you mean by getting cleared to TTC? Is there something other than normal postpartumness keeping you from TTC?

Excuse my ignorance but I guess maybe I didn't realize people regularly got cleared to TTC by their OBs?

[nuggetrn]

Welcome flippinchica!!

I need to wait at least six months but possibly longer because I had an emergency c section. So I technically shouldn't ttc until the doctor says I've healed

Ah! That does make more sense... I forgot you had a c-section.

Welcome teraiin and flippinchica!

How are you doing nuggetrn?

Numbers: Cycle 5 Month 7 CD 4

Circumstances: TTC #1

RRNFNSQ: Well, I ovulated early, which is great. The 43 day cycle was much better than the 84 day cycle I had before that, so that's good!

Fun Fact: Thanks to a soccer injury, I can pop my sternum like people pop their fingers or toes!

[Rama]

Numbers: CD a lot, cycle something, month mid-20s

Circumstances: PCOS, EP, amenorrhea/ogliomenorrhea

RRNFNSQ: Bored with this cycle, probably kickstart it soon.

GTKY: Tell me a fun fact about you. Anything at all. I'm in some videos on YouTube (voice only) because one of my friends is a content creator and we play games together.

[girlonabike]

hi, flippinchica!

Numbers: not sure what this means.

Circumstances: Got my IUD removed, and am waiting for my cycle to get back to normal.

RRNFNSQ: My son is 11 months. I wanted to try for a sibling a few months ago, but it took some time to get an appointment to get my IUD removed. Now I'm just trying to track my cycles again. I've been using wondfo's and I am definitely not ovulating.

Fun fact: I'm allergic to grass (this is not fun).

[pearlvirus]

Numbers: Unknown

Circumstances: I'm 8 months and 1 period following the birth of my 2nd daughter. I have an IUD and am not tracking. We've been talking about starting on #3 late this year or early next.

RRNFNSQ: Today is one of those mornings I'm not sure I'm up for anymore kids. It's been so, so long since I had a stretch of sleep longer than 2 hours and DD1 is testing me so, so hard. Her latest is during the bedtime circus. We do the calming routine, she lays down, I leave the room. Then she runs to the door, starts pounding on it and yelling that it's time to get up. It is not, in fact time to get up, so I let her fuss. Then she removes all her clothing and pees on her books. WTF?!?

GTKY: Tell me a fun fact about you. Anything at all. I'm obsessed with Halloween. And really any other costume opportunity. Like the Renaissance festival or a nerd convention. I was super sad when DD2 was born so close to, but not on Oct 31, lol.

[PepperPottsJ]

Wow!! Hi Ladies!

Happy to rejoin and see so many faces

Numbers:Oh boy... Cycle 15 (1 AL)

Circumstances: Just awaiting the return of AF

RRNFNSQ: I'm boring this week nothing new

GTKY: Tell me a fun fact about you. Anything at all. I am a receptacle of useless info, which MH is always entertained by

[gabride2010]

Rama That is cool about the YouTube videos!

girlonabike Numbers means what cycle, month, and cycle day you're on. I hope your cycles normalize soon.

pearlvirus Sorry your DD has been testing you lately!

PepperPottsJ I'm so sorry for your loss! I hope your period comes back soon.

[Rama]

Pepper, I'm just now seeing about your loss. I'm so sorry. I'm always an ear, if you need it.

[penguin129]

PepperPottsJ I am so sorry for your loss. So many hugs, thoughts, and prayers sent to you and your H.

PepperPottsJ

Numbers: Cycle 12 (~5AL), CD 25

Circumstances: Last cycle before we see the RE. Charting was starting to weigh on our sex life a little too much, so I'm avoiding it this month, to give us a month of "normal" before it all begins.

RRNFNSQ: May have ovulated the other day. Meh. I started this cycle feeling energized, but now I'm just feeling done with it all. Grumpy!tea.

GTKY: Tell me a fun fact about you. Anything at all. I played the piano accordion in middle school.

Gah.

[icedtea]

teraiin, don't feel silly! Hope your period comes soon and you're all cleared.

[gabride2010]

icedtea Yeah! People want me to pop it on demand, but it doesn't work like that. FX you don't have to go see the RE!

[icedtea]

Thanks gabride2010!

I have uber-loose joints, so my elbows point out at weird angles. I like to freak H out by making them "dance."
