3/20 IF check in

[ohinvrtedworld]

I will tomorrow for sure 😴 Want to hear how everyone is!

I have ENT tomorrow. That's about it.

[daisy818]

I'm still on a break cycle, probably right around O day but I'm doing nothing this month so not really sure. It has been good for my mental health so far.

[gabride2010]

Good luck at your ENT appointment @wallflwr926!

I'm happy to hear the break has been good for you daisy818.

My second HSG is tomorrow, and I'm not looking forward to it, but I'm hoping to get some answers from it. I have another Valium to take before this one too, so hopefully that will help.

[Deleted]

@wallflwr926, good luck with the ENT today!

daisy818, I'm glad to hear that a break cycle has been good for you!

gabride2010, I hope the Valium helps with the HSG and you get some better answers this time.

AFM, not much new here this week. I made our next set of appointments for before we start cycling, so lots more blood work on Monday and a pap the week after.

We're taking a break for a month or two, so right now I'm finishing up my packing to go to Disney tomorrow! I'm looking forward to just being a couple for a couple of months, and not worrying about all the IF stuff.

[ohinvrtedworld]

@wallflwr926 I hope it’s a good appointment for you!
daisy818 I’m glad your mental health is going well during your break.
gabride2010 I hope your HSG goes well/went well (whatever time it was today!). Valium is a treasure.
@bonzo2012 Glad you’re able to take care of business with all the testing and appointments coming up!
cjchio HAVE FUN!! I hope your trip kickstarts an awesome break before hitting the ground running again with cycling, hopefully for the last time before success

AFM: Nothing new mostly, except that I am considering scaling back hours where I work now (crap benefits) and adding another part-time job (with better benefits). I’m lucky that I can do that. There’s other factors too about how frustrated I feel in my current role, like I don’t have much purpose. So wanting to do something a little different part of the time AND insurance are compelling enough for me to consider looking at my options. In the mean time, just chugging along in another pointless TWW.

Same old same old here....talking to caseworkers is basically getting the run around and saying what we are reporting won't help much if at all in court and that the length of e-mails is too long-up they are long because those are all the items we see for that visit. Then tell us what will help....geez

Have an e-mail into GAL to see what she wants from us/reported, etc so hopefully clarification will happen

They're saying your emails are too long?? Uh, maybe if there weren't so many issues that you'd like to fix for the good of the kids then they wouldn't be long. That's so frustrating. I hope you get some clarification and can still have your voice heard and respected.

Update: Nothing noticeable.
Referred me to Speech Therapy and an allergist

I have not peed on anything yet. Betas are tomorrow at 8, but who knows when I will hear back.

I'm symptom spotting like crazy but then I remind myself I'm still taking meds. I basically want to eat all the things, fall asleep at 2 pm, my face is breaking out, and the smell of chicken at work made me a little sick yesterday.

H thinks for sure we are KTFU, but I'm trying to not get my hopes up after soooooo long.

That's why I'm talking to the GAL-see what she needs/wants from us since the caseworkers don't think it is helpful. We stated we only report what we see per visit and how kids are behaving/acting around visit times. Or if behaviors have come back because of increased visits.

Apparently this doesn't matter.

Good luck Rooskie!

I have not checked-in in a while. We've been on a break waiting for surgery and I needed the time to not think about TTC or IF for a while. Now surgery is next Friday so I can't avoid it much longer. I am in a tough spot right now. Slightly bitter about doing the surgery, nervous for the surgery itself and recovery, and even more nervous that it won't work after all this. We will have an US after 2 months to check to see if it worked. I think I am going to call my RE soon to ask what the plan is if it doesn't work. I may have to find a new RE who would be willing to do a transfer if it doesn't work. I hate to think negatively like that but if I don't have a contingency plan I'll end up costing myself months of time on hold which I just can't do anymore.

Anyways sorry I've been so absent. I will try to check in more! This place has been such a good place for outlet and support in such a difficult time.

[rooskie]

Blood has been drawn. They said to call back at 1:15 CST if I haven't heard yet.
