Waiting to do Something 11/21

[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: Tell me about your Thanksgiving menu/plans!

[cnf2013]

Numbers: TTA/ CD13

Circumstances: planning to start trying TFAS next cycle. Started temping and have been more or less successful given DD's hit or miss ability to sttn.

RRNFNSQ: I need to call my ob. I'm starting to feel like I should have called her sooner, but I'm not comfortable getting pregnant on my SSRI's and need to talk with her about what she recommends in terms of how and when to get off them.

GTKY: My folks are going away so we're having H's parents over. MIL ordered a Wegmans prepped dinner, which is fine with me, I'm happy to cook or not, but this is easier. And I love Wegmans with all my heart.

Numbers: n/a

Circumstances: waiting for pp AF

RRNFNSQ: nothing really. I got super crampy and was hopeful AF was coming but apparently not. 😂 I've also sprouted a couple random chin hair so that made me hopeful.

GTKY: Tell me about your Thanksgiving menu/plans! We got to my parents and inlaws so no cooking for me.

I'm with you cnf2013 I looooove wegmans! I just wish the closest one wasn't 30+ mins away!

Hi All... I will join in here until my body figures its shit out

Numbers:

Circumstances: I had a miscarriage in September. I am still waiting for my betas to get to 0. It has been a hellish couple of months.

RRNFNSQ: I have been cramping almost constantly since the loss but they seem more intense the past several days so maybe AF is near and will be what I need to get my levels to drop.

GTKY: Tell me about your Thanksgiving menu/plans! My mom makes the best mashed potatoes, seriously they are amazing. So that is what she is in charge of every year for our huge extended family Thanksgiving dinner. Every year for the past 5 years she has asked if she can come over to our house and if we would help her peel 30 pounds of potatoes since she doesn't have space in her place for that many. Every year something comes up with her and she is not able to peel the potatoes so DH and I end up doing it and she swoops in when they are done cooking to add all the yummy goodness into them. I've totally just accepted that is what will happen and I can't even be mad... they are that good.

Hopefully your body figures itself out soon lunalovegood. Big hugs

Numbers: CD4

Circumstances: PCOS, multiple losses

RRNSNFQ: I think those are the right letters... Lol.

Coming out of another chemical at the worst timing ever basically. I was so incredibly hopeful this cycle because I thought that maybe the universe would right itself in some strange way. But nope. So starting over again.

Pretty well convinced that something is wrong. I have been researching REs and plan on getting in for a consult as soon as we can. trying to decide if we should do this cycle or not. I don't know if I want to tempt fate again right before Christmas.

GTKY: We have stuff on Thursday and Saturday. I need to make lots of rolls. Also need to decide on a dessert to make for Thursday.

cnf2013 yay for starting TFAS! Good luck with talking to your OB!

alwayscheese dinner sound fancy and beautiful! I love your ideas!! I hope everything goes smoothly for you!!

lunalovegood I am so sorry about your loss. The waiting for regularity afterwards is so frustrating. It can take a long time for betas to drop and a long time for your cycle to return. Biggest and squishiest of hugs to you.

[cnf2013]

I'm so sorry about your chemical nuggetrn. Good luck in your RE search. I hope you can get some answers and your rainbow. So many hugs.

Numbers: CD16 maybe?

Circumstances: BF my 1 yo and I'm having breakthrough bleeding.

RRNFNSQ: I finally stopped bleeding a few days ago. I think I may have ovulated as well. I need to start temping to confirm. I plan to start after I get home from the holidays.

GTKY: I'm visiting my brother and his family. They are doing the cooking and I am on kid duty. So my job is to entertain the kiddos all day. I'm totally fine with that because I hate cooking. I have a few art projects planned and a movie so it shouldn't be too bad.

Well, I am pretty sure I ovulated (haven't started temping yet but I'm going off CM and cervical position) and I started my period again. I don't know what to think at this point.
