Waiting to do something 8/8

[PepperPottsJ]

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: Who is your celebrity doppelgänger (thank you to the Blinds thread)?

[gabride2010]

Thanks for starting PepperPottsJ!

Numbers: Cycle 5, Month 8, CD 19

Circumstances: TTC #1

RRNFNSQ: I hope I either ovulate ASAP or I don't O for 2 more weeks because H is going out of town for almost a week, and I don't want to miss our FW.

GTKY: Who is your celebrity doppelgänger (thank you to the Blinds thread)? I have been told that I look like Catherine Zeta-Jones and Katie Holmes. I might throw Mila Kunis in there too, but I don't look enough like any of the 3 of them to call them my doppelgänger. So...I guess I don't have one then or I haven't found her yet.

gabride2010 I hope the timing works out for you this cycle. It is so frustrating when you have to waste a FW!

AFM

Numbers: NA

Circumstances: Possibly TFAS. Our 1st was my choice so whether or not we try for #2 is down to SO. Just waiting for him to make a decision.

RRNFNSQ: Not much. Up at the boat hopefully until school starts back up in September. SO is at home in the city working.

GTKY: The only one I get lately is Gwenyth Paltrow when she plays the substitute teacher on Glee...but without the blond hair. I'm a high school teacher and it's my students telling me that so take it with a grain of salt.

[gabride2010]

Thanks sammysam. I hope your SO makes a decision soon. Do you know which way he will likely decide?

[teraiin]

Numbers: N/A

Circumstances: waiting for pp period

RRNFNSQ: same old, same old. Just waiting on my period and stuff. A bunch of people from my BMB who ware EBF have gotten their period already so maybe I will get mine soon. Although it's nice to not have it...

GTKY: Who is your celebrity doppelgänger (thank you to the Blinds thread)? I don't think I have one

[PepperPottsJ]

gabride2010 , FX for you, I am in the same boat with praying my vacation doesn't cause an issue.
sammysam , I hope SO decides in your favor
teraiin , FX crossed for you!!

SPOILER: Click to show

Numbers: Cycle 15(1 AL)

Circumstances: AMA, Fibroids, MTHFR

RRNFNSQ: Just moody and feeling feels this week.

GTKY: Who is your celebrity doppelgänger (thank you to the Blinds thread)? I get Mel Harris, Sandra Bullock (I think its just the dark hair and pale skin) and occasionally Olivia Wilde

ETA I hope nuggetrn has some free time back soon cause I miss her in here!! xoxo

[gabride2010]

I think he is leaning towads yes. He is the one who brought up a second. I am happily OAD and thought SO was too so it's been hard for me to wrap my head around a second (I do 99.9% of that parenting on my own and I work full time so thinking about splitting my time between 2 is hard...I am worried there won't be enough of me for 2. I also had a scary near fatal delivery so I'm worried something bad will happen again and DD will be left without me which scares me to no end). If I can get past my fears I will be happy TFAS if that is what SO decides.

[sammysam]

teraiin How old is your LO? I got my first PP period at 9 months and am still BFing DD who is 2.5 years now. Hopefully yours will come soon.

[GOmamab15]

sammysam I hear you on all of that! Good luck with whatever you both decide.
gabride2010 FX the timing works out for you this cycle.


AFM:
Numbers: n/a

Circumstances: I am 1 month pp & breastfeeding. We will likely TFAS next year.

RRNFNSQ: I felt like I was PMSing yesterday but it's probably just my body playing tricks on me.

GTKY: Who is your celebrity doppelgänger (thank you to the Blinds thread)? I used to hear Jewel and Mena Suvari, I don't think I look much like either these days.

[icedtea]

Numbers: Month 13, cycle 12, CD 39

Circumstances: cp, endometriosis, last month before RE

RRNFNSQ: At the time, not charting for this last month seemed like a great idea—nice and relaxing. And everyone around me said what a great choice it was. Well, it's only a great choice if you actually have sex till you get your period. Otherwise you just miss your window entirely and feel like an idiot. Ugh.

GTKY: Who is your celebrity doppelgänger (thank you to the Blinds thread)? I got Ally Sheedy circa Breakfast Club a lot growing up. Now I get Michelle Dockery. I can see it, but I also think it's the pale skin/dark hair combo. I'm good with both.

[icedtea]

sammysam, I hope your H decides soon and you're both feeling good about it. That does sound like a lot.

gabride2010, I hope you hit your fertile week!

[gabride2010]

Thanks GOmamab15!

icedtea Sorry about this frustrating cycle! I hope you get a good game plan from the RE.

ETA: Thanks icedtea!

[nuggetrn]

Yo yo yo

Thanks for the love PepperPottsJ and gabride2010! Love you both back times a million.

I have been busy with work and life and being completely overwhelmed by all of it. Not sure if or when this will end and I foresee continuing to be a little MIA for a while.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[PepperPottsJ]

As long as you know we love you nuggetrn ::kissy faces::

[icedtea]

Good luck nuggetrn!

[gabride2010]

Ditto PepperPottsJ nuggetrn. Much love to you!

Sorry for missing this tag!

DS turned 3 months on Saturday. So I definitely wouldn't be surprised if I still have a long time to go before AF returns. Even if it came back today I can't ttc for while longer anyway.

I'm mostly posting here because I miss being part of check ins and I want to be able to cheer people on without seeming like a creepy lurker
