Eeek yay!!! Everything crossed for you!!

[ldubhawksfan]

Not much here. Waiting for AF; hopefully it will come at the end of the week and then we can try again.

We planted a tree finally for our angel babies! I'm so happy! It is a mandarin ("cuties") tree.

4furrypaws, good luck!!!

@led, sorry you had to cancel your appointment.

ldubhawksfan, I hope AF shows up soon.

AFM, CD1 was Sunday. We kinda took a "break" cycle. But everything appeared to be normal- normal cycle length, I could tell when I was fertile and ovulating. So, maybe we will give it a try this cycle. I'm just along for the ride.

I've not been doing well emotionally though. I've had some dizzy spells lately, so I called my pcp and had an appointment today. She thinks the dizzy spells are related to anxiety and dehydration. So, she ran some bloodwork (I assume since I didn't get a call this afternoon, that it was normal) just to make sure. She gave me the options of mess for anxiety. I'm debating on whether or not I want to go on Lexa.pro. I've never been on anxiety meds, and it worries me to be on them while TTC. But I also have to worry about myself. Ugh. I hate taking to make adult decisions.

@led hey sweets. Hope it's nothing serious with your footsie!

ldubhawksfan I love that choice of tree!!

MrsRC88 adulting sucks so hard. Have you had this anxiety for a long time or is it new? I had what they called situational anxiety/panic attacks for a while a couple years back. I didn't want to go on meds because of TTC. My therapist helped me with some other coping strategies. Eventually they ended up fading away thankfully.

Sorry you're not feeling well, MrsRC88. When I was on lexapro it made me really jittery. I hope if you decide to take it it helps.

Adulting seriously sucks.  I've had anxiety pretty much all my life - mostly social anxiety, but it's gotten better.  I've never been to the point of seeking medical help though.  It's always been minor.  It's gotten worse since my loss.  The dizziness and the inability to function - that's what prompted the appointment.  I'm still on the fence.  I just worry - if I do get pregnant again, is the anxiety of the thought of another loss - is that going to make it worse? 

I'm going to try coping strategies, breathing exercises, essential oils and extra fluids (specifically electrolytes) and see if I can manage that way.  But I do know the pharmaceutical option is available with just a phone call too.

AFM, the d&c (technically an MVA) went okay. As usual my body was being an asshole and she had to stop the procedure before everything was taken care in order to prevent damage. There's a solid chance that I'll need a second d&c. Waiting for genetic tests results, hopefully this week. Next month I'll have a hysteroscopy.

((Hugs)) all around!

JFC, may I vent about an opp for a moment?

Right now, I'm in the sauna at my gym and this hugely pregnant woman sat down next to me. If that's not annoying enough, as soon as she leaves all the other women start sharing their birth stories. WTF. This was supposed to make me feel better.

*hugs* that's rough. I'm sorry.

Yep, been there done that. Girl in my office was pregnant. She sat directly across from me. Everyone came by every single day to tell their birth stories. She went a week over due. I thought I was going to go insane. The stories didn't stop after she had the kid. I hope either I'm KTFU when she returns or she doesn't come back.

[4furrypaws]

@eliida I hope you don't need another D&C hun.
And WTAF is a Pg woman doing in a fucking sauna!?!? Asshole.

[aprilz81]

4furrypaws, Good luck!!!

ldubhawksfan, I'm happy you got your tree planted.

MrsRC88, I hope you feel better soon and they can find something to help that you are comfortable with.

We are still benched for another few weeks while I finish up this pack of BCP. I've been working on losing weight following Ava's birth (I was overweight to begin with and only gained 9 pounds over the 32 week pregnancy). This morning I hit 30 pounds lost! I would like to lose another 10 before I get pregnant again, but I'm not going to postpone TTC over 10 pounds.

Now I just need to not eat and drink my weight while on vacation next week. It is an all inclusive so I know I'm going to indulge, I just need to not go too crazy.

[Deleted]

aprilz81 congrats on the weight loss! That's awesome!

[4furrypaws]

aprilz81 amazing job on the weight loss. Enjoy your vacay hun

[ldubhawksfan]

aprilz81 great job!! Amazing!

My best friend had her sex of the baby reveal last night and it gave me the sads. I'm so happy for her, but sad that I won't be making an announcement and sad we won't have a boy (in my gut, that is what I thought we were having).

*hugs* Announcements like that are tough. Especially when you should be right there with them.

[MrsRC88]

I got the Lexapro prescription for anxiety. But I'm scared to take it. I hate taking meds. I swear when I took diflucan for a yeast infection I ended up itching and with a red chest. It was probably all in my mind, but ugh.... I'm having anxiety about taking anxiety meds 😂.

[Deleted]

Good luck today, 4furrypaws! I've got everything crossed for you!
