WTDS Week of 8/22

[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: Fall is coming soon. What is your favorite thing to wear in the Fall? Bonus points for links.

[sammysam]

Numbers : NA

Circumstances : Considering TFAS

RRNFNSQ : Nothing this week. Enjoying these last 2 weeks of summer before school starts again.

GTKY: Boots. I love boots.

[Deleted]

Numbers: CD 2

Circumstances: TTA

RRNFNSQ: I would love to NTNP for a couple cycles coming up cause the due date would be in summer but H is just not having it. Which makes me a bit resentful and frustrated. I just have to keep my mind busy until March I guess.

GTKY: Fall is coming soon. What is your favorite thing to wear in the Fall? Bonus points for links: My favorite clothing in fall is thin long sleeves or thin jackets. I love long sleeves and sweaters.

Numbers: n/a

Circumstances: I am 6weeks pp & breastfeeding. We will likely TFAS next year.

RRNFNSQ: I am about to start taking birth control. I've never used any birth control in the past and it's a bit overwhelming to think about. We've decided we want to wait until next year to TFAS but what if it takes years like it did with the first...just keep telling myself it'll be ok and TTA for a few months won't hurt me or prevent me from getting pregnant in the future.

GTKY: Fall is coming soon. What is your favorite thing to wear in the Fall? I love all fall clothing and boots! And scarfs.

Numbers: CD 7

Circumstances: PCOS, TTA, 2 losses

RRNFNSQ: So I had a 29 day cycle. Which is crazy and totally abnormal. But yay? So curious to see what happens this next cycle.

I'm a busy, emotional, mess. That's about it.

GTKY: I can't wait to be in jeans. And boots. I enjoyed summer but now I am done with it.

GOmamab15 Hugs. I am sorry for the emotions. That has to be tough.

I understand the frustration but:
 what happens if you get knocked up the first cycle NTNP which is really TTC? Do you have a back up plan. A May baby with a recent graduate.
Would he have a job right away?
What if you deliver early? it happens. Say you end up delivering late March because of a shit ton of shitty reasons?
 Could you handle a preemie with a loss of wages plus him in school? these are all questions you have to think about.

Yeah, I know I just need to cool my jets. Sometimes my heart takes over instead of my head. I've always been an extremely impatient person and get a little cranky when I have to wait.

But thanks for reminding me to think about all the possibilities.

sammysam Have fun in your last weeks of summer!

@veritas That is really tough. Big hugs!

GOmamab15 The struggle to pick birth control is real. I had to try a few different ones before I found one I liked. Hugs for all the feels.

nuggetrn Yay for a shorter cycle! I hope that pattern continues.

Numbers: Cycle 5, Month 8 CD 33

Circumstances: TTC #1

RRNFNSQ: Still WTO. FF is "predicting" that I should O this weekend. I really hope that's true, but there's no way to know with my wacky cycles.

GTKY: Give me all the jeans, boots, and scarves!
