Waiting To Do Something 5/25

[LadyNymeria]

I was waiting to say something until after FF confirmed O for me, but I think it might be time to re-discuss timing with MH.

Slight sex-related TMI ahead:

Typically MH will start pulling out 5 or so days before the earliest CD my FW has ever started, through my FW, and for a few days after confirmed O. Except for when AF is around, MH generally doesn't know where I am in my cycle so when he gets close to finishing he will ask if he needs to pull-out. Well...last night MH didn't ask and didn't pull-out. I'm curious if he just forgot or if that's him not caring about waiting until September.

Yesterday was 2 DPO (and I'm confident the CHs won't move) so it was much closer to my FW than we usually chance, but still past O. We've been doing this for years, so I can't imagine he just forgot.

ironbaby Hi lady!Your weekend sounds like it was fun!! I am sorry that this whole thing is going the way it is. It sounds like you guys are communicating your feelings pretty well, so even if you don't have a set plan right now you two are keeping the conversation going which is important! Good luck as you figure things out!

LadyNymeria, Hmmmmmmm, lol. Curious to see what happens for you!! Are you hoping this means you guys are going to start TTC like, now?!?

[zombiesquad]

Sooo late, but I’m trying to catch up with all you pretty bishes.

penguin129 I hope these next six weeks fly by for you. I also hope you and your DD gets to feeling better soon.

nuggetrn Add me to the terrible temper club. My problem is, at times I wake up way before my alarm and think it is actually time to get up. I take my temp and then look at the clock and it’s 3am. Oy!

mosdub Congrats to you and your cousin. How exciting!

TheEleventhHour cookies and cinnamon rolls sound delish! I hope the buyers work out!

LadyNymeria I’m late to the game, but did you confirm O today?

gooselover2012 I hope you’re close to O, too!

Andrea Congrats on being in the new house! Good luck at your appointment this week.

teachermomtobe Glad your chart is looking for more consistent and hoping you see some CHs soon.

wanderingheart Glad your HSG went well, but so sorry for the news and the waiting game. How frustrating. I totally get it—feeling like your body is broken and doesn’t do what nature intended for it to do. It sucks. Big hugs to you!

westisleflower Sorry you had to work this past weekend. But good luck in six days!

rivers and roads Glad you like your RE. That’s so important when dealing with this stuff. Sounds like he wants to be thorough which is also great!

acorn99 That sounds like an awesome Memorial Day!

bl1210 It was usually 3 to 5 days after I finished Provera before I started a period.

ironbaby I’m sorry for all your feels. I hope you both can get on the same page soon.

Edit because tagging, spoilers and mobile is hard. Good freaking grief

[zombiesquad]

Numbers: CD 1

Circumstances: TTA for two cycles following MC in March.

Rants/Raves/NFSQ: Well, ladies, I had terrible cramps yesterday and woke up with awful back pain this morning. I really thought it was because I did some vigorous walking with some friends yesterday and I’m severely out of shape. I slept like crap and didn’t even bother temping this morning. Alas, it was the start of my period. This means my mandatory two-cycle bench is officially over.

GTYK: Did you do anything fun this weekend in honor of Memorial Day? We had a couple of friends come in to town from various parts of the country so we all hung out Saturday and Sunday. Yesterday, I started packing for our trip and just relaxed. Now I’ve got to squeeze five days worth of work into two days. Yikes

Haha, that's what I'm hoping for. I've been ready for a couple years so I've just been waiting for MH to catch up!

[LadyNymeria]

zombiesquad - Yes, I confirmed O with this morning's temp - I'm 3DPO now.

Sorry AF decided to make her appearance a painful one, at least your mandatory bench time is over!

[ironbaby]

Yay for burning the bench, zombiesquad!

[nuggetrn]

Woo woo zombiesquad! Excited for you to get to start trying again!

[Andrea]

Yay zombiesquad!!!!!

[TheEleventhHour]

Awesome that you can burn the bench zombiesquad!

LadyNymeria Did you ask YH about it? I agree with you that he likely didn't forget if you've been doing this for years. I totally feel you on being ready but waiting for the husband to catch up

ironbaby It is such a tough decision to decide when to officially TTC. I am a planner too so I understand it being tough to have YH go back and forth. But it sounds like he might be ready now?!

[rivers and roads]

YAY zombiesquad! In honor of your bench,


ironbaby, sorry you now have a mix of confusion on top of the whole stressful situation. I have no advice, but I'm thinking of you and wishing you the best (and sooner rather than later )

bl1210, I've never heard of consistency of days for Provera meaning anything. One time was 3 days after I stopped, another was 4. If it means anything at all, I hope it's in your favor!

penguin129, Sorry DD is sick I hope you both feel better and get some sleep!

acorn99, nice job temping! I've only recently come around to the idea of gin and tonics, but your parade watching sounds dreamy!

nuggetrn, we are all very proud of you. :-P

He definitely is ready. He's come to the conclusion that he doesn't want to wait and wants to get right back to it.

I am torn. I think I need a month to wrap my head around it and see if there is any improvement in his job travel or any new job prospects on the horizon for him.

[rivers and roads]

LadyNymeria, MH pulled (or DIDN't.. if you get what I'm saying, har har) the same move on me. I had been ready for almost a year and just hanging out waiting for him. After my mind racing for a few minutes of "WHAT?! what was that?!", I asked, and his only response was "yep, I'm ready."
Love him, but he meets most stereotypes of men and communicating.

So, maybe actions speak louder than words for yours, too! FX for clarification when you talk about it.

edit: spelling and words

[acorn99]

zombiesquad, yay for bench burning!
bl1210, I have taken provera twice, and once had AF start about a week after I stopped taking it, and the other time it started on the 9/10 of my 10 day course. The first time lead to a BFP, the second time nope, nothing. Long story short, I dont think it really means much, but I will keep my fingers crossed for you

Not yet. It happened right before we headed to our neighbor's house for a BBQ last night so I didn't get a chance. I'm planning to talk to him later though because if he did just forget, I'll need to remind him he can't do that, lol.

Do what you feel comfortable with, absolutely. In the long term, one month isn't going to make that much of a difference (so hard to believe, even for me, but it's true), and you don't want to possibly add any extra stress or feeling sick on top of everything else going on right now. Or maybe even in 2 weeks you'll have a better idea, but sort it out first. He should understand that!

[bl1210]

acorn99, zombiesquad, and rivers and roads, thanks for the input. I was just wondering if possibly it was some indication of hormone levels leveling out...wishful thinking. I just want to know if this metformin/dieting is actually working. I'm so impatient.

[zombiesquad]

Aww, you gals have been great and I will definitely be checking in on you!

[wanderingheart]

YAY zombiesquad! #burnbabyburn

[rablissful]

Lurking to say CONGRATS zombiesquad! Burn that bench!

[penguin129]

zombiesquad I found this gif in honor of your bench burning. Congrats and good luck!

[penguin129]

ironbaby It is a good thing you and your H are talking things out. I totally get where you are coming from with those crazy hours. I really hope he can get something new fast.

rivers and roads hmmmm.... sneaky DH?! Let us know how your chat goes.

[aprilz81]

I'm late to the game so I'm going to post and then come back and give love tits/comments.

Numbers: CD103 (?), Cycle 3, Month 8

Circumstances: PCOS, annovulatory cycles

Rants/Raves/NFSQ:

Currently in the middle of a course of Provera and will be heading back to the RE on CD 1-3 for more blood work and baseline ultrasound before starting Clomid (eek!!!) on CD 3.

I have the results of my blood work from last week. Testosterone is high, thyroid is slightly high for fertility purposes, but normal by anyone else's standards (I think they said it was 2.88??) and my AMH was high (which is good). My 2 hour glucose test came back on the high side of normal so I am NOT IR but since it is a little high and I have elevated testosterone the RE wants me to start Metformin. The nurse said that my blood work so far makes them think that I shouldn't have any trouble responding to the meds with these levels. They are going to do some more thyroid tests to see if I need Synthoid when I go in on CD 1 or 2.

I'm expecting a job offer (possibly 2) this week. I may hold off on the Clomid one or two months to get settled into my new job. The job that is almost certain is with my old company and since I've only been gone 2 months they may honor my original start date which means I would be immediately be eligible for FMLA. The other job is a contract position (contract to hire) and while it is a great opportunity the perks of my old job (work from home!!!!, benefits, etc.) make it a no brainer if I get to choose.

GTKY: Did you do anything fun this weekend or in honor of Memorial Day? Two cookouts with friends!

[TheEleventhHour]

aprilz81 That is awesome news on the job front! Good luck with Clomid!

[penguin129]

aprilz81 I hope they can give you something to help with your thyroid. From the research I've done on Dr. Google a TSH of 2 is best for TTC. What did your RE say is best? My last TSH test was 1.05 and 6.66 before that. I hope you get to pick the job you want.

[LadyNymeria]

Good luck with the job and the Clomid aprilz81!

I was speaking to a nurse and she said they would do some more blood work to retest my TSH and check for anti-bodies (maybe something else?) to rule out an auto-immune disorder.  She said not to stress out because my TSH levels would be considered normal by anyone other than an RE or OB/GYN.  I may end up on Synthoid as well but I won't now for a week or two.  I'm 5 days in to a 10 day course of Provera an then another few days waiting for CD1 and then more blood work.

I'm not looking forward to the dildo cam while on my period.  *shudder*  That just sounds... Messy.  I know they do it all the time and it isn't a big deal, but still...

[penguin129]

aprilz81 Gotcha! The Physician's Assistant I am seeing at a family practice wants my #'s at a 2 and I haven't seen her face to face to tell her we will be TFAS come fall. Everyone's "normal" seems to be a different number.

[teachermomtobe]

wanderingheart, So sorry you're going through that. Like others have said, your feelings are what you feel and are therefore normal.
rivers and roads, Glad your RE seems on top of it, sorry it's a lot for you to process right now
LadyNymeria, Waiting to hear what your H has to say...love the way some men "communicate" if that was indeed his way of telling you he was ready!
zombiesquad, congrats on the bench burning!
aprilz81, good luck with the job offers!

[LadyNymeria]

So...it was on purpose! Ahh!!! Since I was just past O this month I'll wait out this cycle here, but it looks like go time may have moved up a few months!

So it sounds like we're at least NTNP. If that holds true I guess I'll be moving on to WTO/TWW in a few weeks!

AHH!!!!!!!
