WTDS - 2/6

[teraiin]

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.

No Flame No Shame Questions :


QOTW: what is your favorite snack?

[Deleted]

Numbers: TTC 9 months/10 cycles; TTA 2 cycles


Circumstances: TTA until the end of March to avoid a fall semester due date


Rants: I think H gave me his cold. Ugh, no time to get sick in the next 3 months!


Raves: I have my first RE appointment tomorrow to address my luteal phase defect. I'm a little nervous, but overall feeling really positive about taking this step forward.


No Flame No Shame Questions : For those who have been through it, with my first RE appointment tomorrow (see above) what's something I might not think of to ask?


QOTW: what is your favorite snack? Cheese is my default snack. Especially melted cheese. It satisfies all forms of food cravings I get.

[robotpcr]

Numbers: CD18


Circumstances: TTA until May


Rants: I'm starting to really get a baby itch but hopefully things will be more settled with DH's job in May. Also rant, DH is in London. I hate solo parenting.


Raves: I have a new batch of the ovulation double check tests and I'm hoping they work for me this time around. With the last batch I never got a true positive even though I know 100% I O'd. FF says I should O any day now so I'm excited to see.


No Flame No Shame Questions :


QOTW: what is your favorite snack? Totally depends on my mood but mostly chocolate.

[ajetter]

Numbers: 1st cycle post loss, CD32


Circumstances: TTA until after AF


Rants: nothing really, just anxious for AF to show up so we can move on.


Raves: Threw DD2 a birthday party yesterday. It went really well and it was fun to see her running around with all her friends. She turns 4 on Wednesday!


No Flame No Shame Questions :


QOTW: what is your favorite snack? That is tough. I love food a lot. Haha. Chips and guacamole, almonds and chocolate chips, apples with nutella...

[rosey06]

Numbers: 7 months ttc with 2 losses in there.
5DPO though so hopefully my body is getting this first cycle over with


Circumstances: Benched till August per doctors recommendation.



Rants: random rant. But I wish some of these schools I've contacted for DS would respond.


Raves:


No Flame No Shame Questions :


QOTW: what is your favorite snack? I'm a chocolate addict! Or if feeling salty, i like plain old tortilla chips or lays potato chips.
But I'm currently stopping all snacks. 😩it's painful.

[TheEleventhHour]

Numbers: CD32

Circumstances: NTNP until April

Rants: AF is still not here. I am kicking myself for not temping. I thought I ovulated around CD14/15 based on CM but it is CD32 (AF usually shows between CD26-29) and AF isn't here and I took a test yesterday but it was negative. So I have no idea what's going on. Ugh. DEFINITELY temping my next cycle!

Raves: None, I am bloated and tired and just want my GD period to show up.

No Flame No Shame Questions: None this week!

QOTW: what is your favorite snack?: Cereal. All the cereal. I love it. I have a bowl almost every night after dinner lol.

@bonzo2012 Sorry you are feeling sick. I hope your appointment goes well!

robotpcr Boo for solo parenting. I hope YH isn't away long. I am getting HUGE baby itch. I just want to start officially TTC!

ajetter I hope AF shows up soon for you

rosey06 I hope you here from schools soon. Trying to find child care and schools is so stressful.

TheEleventhHour, thanks! We liked the RE and all of the staff that we met. I had one blood test and an ultrasound yesterday, and I go back after CD1 for the rest of the blood work and to schedule the HSG.

I hope AF shows up for you so you're not in that irritating limbo place! I'll admit, one of my favorite things about temping is taking the guesswork out of when CD1 will be.

[robotpcr]

Thanks TheEleventhHour and alwayscheese. Luckily he gets home tonight but then he leaves again for all of next week so blah. I hate how much he travels for work. And I think I have to tell him he can't take a work trip to Singapore because Zika. Good times.

@bonzo2012, glad your RE appointment went well! Do you mind me asking about your LP defect? How long it was and how long you waited to see an RE?

TheEleventhHour, yeah, I love knowing WTF is going on with temping. Being in the dark is the worst! Hoping you get an answer soon.

Yay alwayscheese, fingers crossed TTC goes quick and easily for you!

[Deleted]

alwayscheese, yay for Nexplanon removal! Good luck as you start TTC!

robotpcr, I don't mind at all. My LP averages 10 days, sometimes as low as 8 or as high as 11. It's been short since I got off BCP in Dec 15, but my PCP recommended waiting a year to see an RE because it takes some women longer to stabilize than others. So when Jan 17 hit and it was still consistently short, I made the appointment.

Thanks so much for sharing.  Mine has been 11 days on avg since I had my DD, with some being 10.  I don't know what it was before that.  I've been trying not to borrow trouble until we TTC and see but worrying about stuff is something I'm really good at.  I appreciate the insight!  I hope all your testing goes well.

I'm an expert at overthinking and worrying too. I'm the kind of person that will over research and make plans A-G before starting something. It was really difficult to wait and see for the whole year, especially once we were actively TTC and cycle after cycle I could see that implantation couldn't have occurred even if there had been a fertilized egg. But we have decent IF insurance coverage, so at this point I'm just feeling really positive about getting the tests done and getting to the bottom of this.

I can only imagine how frustrating that was!  We TTC for 9 months before but I was temping and could see cycle after cycle that I wasn't Oing and it made me crazy.  It's so hard to just have to sit back and wait when you know something's not right.  I am right there with you on being a planner.  But glad your coverage is decent and definitely update on what you find out!

I will definitely update once we have our regroup appointment to go over all of our results!
