Bi-weekly Wine and Cheese 6/17

[sarcaztic10]

I just realized that I haven't even posted this at all this month. I am sorry I am such a slacker, forgive me?

Tell us what is going on in your lives!! And In honor of lizblue and her name for our board we will be serving vodka and hugs during this check-in. Would we like to change the title of this check-in to Bi-weekly Vodka and Hugs? 

[readinglove]

Thanks for posting sarcaztic10! I'm totally down with renaming the thread. Belly up to the bar and let's hug it out.

Not a lot new in my world. Same shit, different day. Still not KU, still having sex to hopefully GKU, still pissed and frustrated with this whole process.



Even though school has been out for almost 2 weeks, today kind of feels like my first day of break - nothing to do, no place to be - I can do what I want, when I want. DH has been at work (his summer hours are very different from school year), so I've been hanging out doing a whole lot of nothing. I did work out, shower, and sweep/mop the living room, dining room, and kitchen, so there was a wee bit of productivity.



It's not too early, is it? I have cold Diet Coke and an almost full bottle of rum...

[lizblue]

Thanks for the check in love bug. I'm running out the door but will be back with an update soon. In the meantime - vodka and hugs for everybody.

xo

[megrae12]

Thanks for the check in my love!

readinglove Ah, the dog days of summer. Can I say I'm jealous? I would love nothing to do for maybe a week, we can switch places! Also, it's never tho early for rum.

AFM, I'm chugging along. I've pulled away from the main board, mostly because it's a little to puppies and sunshine for me and I'm just to snarky (read bitch) for some of those sensitive Sallys to handle. So I willjust come here and drink my vodka AND wine, I believe in double fisting! I love you ladies.

[readinglove]

megrae12 Double fisting FTW!! I'll join you in that venture.

Also, summer project: find the best sangria recipe. Started last week with a white wine one. Not bad, but too sweet for me. I'm looking forward to this experimentation.

Sangria is amazing. Just when you think wine can't get any better, it does!!

renegadewhit I'm so happy to hear recovery is going well! That makes me happy!!

[skategirl128]

Thanks for the check in!

I'm waiting on my scan next week to see what's going on. I'm hopeful that those growths are gone and that I'll finish treatments in 6 months. One day at a time!

Otherwise I'm enjoying as much of summer that I can. I'm spending time outside and just hanging out with SO.

I did make a wreath today!

[readinglove]

renegadewhit I'm glad recovery is going well! I can't imagine having to deal with the head hunger...that would drive me batty.

skategirl128 That wreath is super cute! GL with the scan next week - I'll be keeping you in my T&Ps for good news.

@eliida Cheers, lady. Sigh. I'll be keeping FX for you for this IUI cycle! The IVF conversation would be a scary one to have -definitely an all of the feels-type one.

[sarcaztic10]

readinglove I am so jealous that you have the option to sit around and do nothing! I think you still had a very productive day yesterday. I would be tempted to veg out in from of the TV all day if I had that much time off.

lizblue Hi lady!!

megrae12 Glad you are doing well. I totally understand not wanting to post on the boards right now.

renegadewhit I am so glad to hear that you are doing well! I know it has to be hard to see YH eat stuff like that while you are on a liquid diet.

skategirl128 That's a pretty wreath! FX your scan goes well!

@eliida Just saying that IVF may be a possibility for us scares the shit out of me ((((Hugs))) to you and I really hope this is your cycle!

AFM: I am 5 DPO after IUI #2. It went really well, I had a little bit of spotting afterwards and a ton of EWCM that H and I took advantage of. None of the other meds I have been on have helped the quality and quantity of my EWCM like the Gonal-F has. Usually I have no EWCM at all and this cycle I saw it and i was so excited. So, I am just trucking along on progesterone now. My RE's office has told me they want me to test next Friday. I am not sure if I will test before then or not.

Imma just leave this here

And don't be shy w/ the brandy...

[kateisoptimistic]

Hey ladies! Thanks for doing the check in sarcaztic10,
Not much happening over here. I posted this on the other checkins but trying to find a balance between work and starting IVF and it sucks. I need to get my shit together.
Other than that I’ve got nothing really. Vodka and hugs all around.

[rubysi]

sarcaztic10, thanks for the check in. I have everything crossed for you. I hope Friday gets here quickly.

readinglove, I think a whole lot of nothing is accomplished. Hey you cleaned floors.

lizblue, Hi

megrae12, Hi love I miss your snark. I have been more absent too... the sun calls to me.

renegadewhit, that head hunger is a bitch. I gets me every time. I hope you can continue to conquer it. I am surprised you are at the gym already.

skategirl128, fx for no more growths and nice work on the wreath. I can't get enough of the sun right now.

@eliida, I hope this iui is the one.

Smootiepie, Yum!

kateisoptimistic, Do you have some vacation time? There is one week in the cycle that gets pretty busy. I was happy to have my vacation during my ivf cycle.

AFM : Today is my last real try with ttc. I have my one lonely frozen embie being transferred in a few hours and I am trying really hard to not dwell on the what if's. Other than that my job is horrible, but my garden is looking better every week. I am going to go shovel the rest of the dirt out of my driveway before today's appointment, to keep my mind off things.

Good luck love!! sending you all my positive thoughts!!!!!!


I just got back from vacation but we were out of the country so it wasn't possible.  My next vacation isn't until end of august but its not going to line up with my cycle i don't think.  my problem is really work travel.  I end up needing to be going somewhere almost every week and its just not slowing down.  I am probably at a point where i just need to tell my boss that we are going to do this, but I don't want to in case it doesn't work out and also so i don't get pulled from future projects.  I kind of don't have an option at this point.  I'm also really confused about the schedule.  I need my RE to explain this better to me. 

[sarcaztic10]

rubysi sending you and your embie so many positive sticky vibes! I really hope that this is it for you! I will be thinking of you today!

kateisoptimistic I hope things fall into place soon and you can get some time set aside to start IVF.

[readinglove]

sarcaztic10 & rubysi I am keeping everything crossed for you!!! Here's hoping that this cycle is it for you.

heartbot Yes. To everything you said. I'm thinking it has to do with having a lot of grads lately - so many of those of us still here have been here longer than anyone wants to be, and that starts to weigh on a person. I know that has played into why I've stepped back a bit (although I'm trying to get back in the swing of things here). FX for you this cycle.

ETA: fix tag

[rmpar29]

Hi ladies! I'm so sorry I've been a crappy 6+er. I always find the check-ins like a week late and then I feel weird about posting at that point. Yay, I made it to this one in a timely fashion!

sarcaztic10 - Thanks for posting love!
readinglove - ((((HUGS))) I'm sorry that you are so frustrated with this whole process. I hope you enjoyed some relaxation. I'm jealous of your summer break!
megrae12 - I've been lurking CAL and it is a different place. (((HUGS))) to you honey!
renegadewhit - I'm glad that your recovery is going well!
skategirl128 - Just so much love hon! Good luck with your scan!
@eliida - Good luck with your IUI!
kateisoptimistic - I hope you get some clarification from your doc and can get your IVF scheduled.
rubysi - Sending you all of the thoughts and prayers for a great transfer and a snuggly embie!
heartbot - FX for you this cycle love! I love your BFN plans!

I definitely think all the grads are a big part of it, both for making people want to step back and just changing the make-up of the board in general. Maybe some of the problem is that so many people posting regularly now are new and don't know each other very well, and that's why they're all afraid of posting and so P&R?

That makes a lot of sense. Like, hey, I don't know you people, so I'm going to super nice and fun and happy and yay!!! 

[sarcaztic10]

crimpgirl Yay for getting the time off that you wanted! Don't be scared to piss off the RE people! I stopped caring if I sound crazy a long time ago, its ok if they think I am crazy or dumb as long as they answer my questions.

[4furrypaws]

Hai loves. I've been very sporadic with the boards lately. Lot's of shitty shit going on with the selling of my Mum's family house and my Aunt's estate. I really hate my Mom's brothers. They are just bad people and I can't wait to never have to think of them ever again! I'm just so drained from all of it.

Nothing new on the TTC front. Maybe by the end of summer we will be ready to talk about what the future holds. We will see. I'm in no way ready with all the BS going on with the ass hats.

I have an idea...since many of us are now here on 6+...why not make this our main go to spot?
Just an idear

I love each one of you so much...I'm sorry I don't have much to give lately.

xoxo

[o2girl]

Hello hello

I'm all for renaming the thread. Most of you know about my affinity for all things vodka. I love that clear goddess

I started estrace yesterday. Im subsequently nauseous.... No matter.... I'm always nauesous from the stuff. Hopefully this is the last time I have to do this to my body. Embryo transfer is set for July 15th.

[rubysi]

kateisoptimistic, maybe your RE would have a solution. Your cycle during ivf is controlled by your RE maybe they can get it close to your August vacation. Or while traveling the possibility to do your scans at another location. When you travel do you stay in one place or are you constantly on the move? I am sorry this is proving to be difficult. I hope there is a solution out there for you.

heartbot, FX for this cycle. But your bfn plans sound awesome. I guess I am one who has stepped back a little so I haven't really noticed the change. I think it will get better when there is a site to go to other than proboards.

rmpar29, Hi!

crimpgirl, I am always impressed by your willingness to run... even when you take time off from it. I tried it for about a week and decided it wasn't for me. Just give the re a call. It will be overwhelming but the information you get will make you feel better in the long run. Have fun at the reunion.

4furrypaws I am sorry you have had the horrible responsibility of dealing with both you Mother and your Aunt's estates. I hope the end is in sight. Thank you for checking in on me.

@02girl I hope this is the last time for you too. I have all things crossed for you.

@eliida Yes you need to water them too... how are you?

***Little update***

My embie survived the freeze/ defrost and was almost completely re expanded. The RE and embryologist were both hopeful so I will remain that way at least for a little longer.

Hugs for everyone!

[sarcaztic10]

4furrypaws I am so sorry you are dealing with all of that shitty shit. Sending you as many (((Hugs))) as you need to get through it.

o2girl I am keeping all of the things crossed that this is it for you!

rubysi Yay for such a good update! I am staying hopeful for you and sending your ute so many good vibes!

Your beta is Friday right?
ETA: doh! I just looked at your profile again..... It's next Monday... Sorry

[elliecat17]

Hi ladies! Sorry to Post and Run! It's been a crazy weekend after a crazy week and this one is shaping up to be crazy too!
NCALR: One of the little girls in my class choked another on wednesday and then H and I drove 18 hours round trip for a wedding this weekend. Now I'm dealing with cranky H, messy house, and creating behavior management plans for the classroom. H is still applying to full time jobs but he of course is getting pretty disheartened. I am getting fed up with my position. I gave up my 40 hr/wk position that was hectic for what I thought would be another 40 hr/wk position as a center director. Guise, I've been lucky to get 32/wk. H and I live off of my salary. This is BS! also the company laid off for the summer a lot of their maintenance staff. So now I get to fix fences, paint, and do stuff like that. Oh but I can't log any more hours then we have kids to prove I need to be there for. It's weird and annoying. Also I'm in charge of women 2x's my age and they are ALWAYS complaining about this thing or that thing and want me to give them more hours. I would LOVE to, but I can't!

CALR: Also weddings are hard on CD 1. All I wanted to do was cry. It also made me crabby for obvious reasons. We are plugging along HIO and hoping each month brings good news. My temps seem to be in a better place this month, not sitting in one spot, so hopefully this cycle will be less stressful. Each cycle brings me closer to being ready to ask my OB to refer us to the RE. She is ready to as soon as we ask. I don't think H is though.

Thanks for reading! I will be back to read through all of yours!
Here is some mimosa's for your effort!

[readinglove]

elliecat17 Sending lots of (((hugs))) and some positive vibes your way. Can I say that everything is hard on CD1? Ugh. I'm sorry work is so sucky.

[sarcaztic10]

elliecat17 Sending you lots of (((Hugs))) I am sorry work is tough and you are unhappy with your job I can relate. I am hoping things get better for you soon.
