[mugee]

Thanks for the check-in, wirt2cute! I hope you and all the other lovely ladies on this board enjoyed the holiday.


What are you doing this month? Priming for DEg transfer on 12/19 or 12/20 if my body cooperates! Taking Estrace, supplements and acupuncture every 2 weeks. Increased dosage of Synthroid.


Where are you at in your journey? I thought I started AF, but I guess it was just breakthrough bleeding. So, I guess I'm on CD28.


What is your mood? Trying to not panic but I need the real AF to show up the end of next week!


QOTW: What is your favorite Date Night? Geez...we typically don't go out at night! Our dates are taking a weekend drive and exploring new restaurants and markets.

Hey ladies! Thanks for the check-in wirt2cute!! I think I missed the last week's b/c of Thanksgiving craziness!!

Woohoo mugee!!! The 19th will be here before you know it! I can't believe it's already Dec!!

TTC#1, post loss #2, cycle #7

Sex, ALL the vitamins, OPKs, secondary signs, the usual stuff

I'm 10DPO today...usually when I'm around 10-11DPO, I start feeling antsy and want to POAS already! I'm surprisingly calm this cycle, might be b/c I know if it's a bust, I have my first RE appointment next week.

Mood? Hmmmm I guess I feel hopeful. MH has his SA tomorrow. They already forwarded all the paperwork yesterday and OMG, it's quite a bit! I haven't even read through everything yet so I'm curious what it asks for. Probably the usual stuff...

QOTW: Favorite date nights are probably a movie then dinner. If we're out, we usually do the movie first, otherwise we're hit pretty bad with a carb coma! If at home, we'll watch something while we eat

What are you doing this month? Charting BBT & CM, PNVs, sex


Where are you at in your journey? Cycle #4, pretty sure I'm 2DPO


What is your mood? Well, I'm both excited and a bit panicked right now. We just got a message from our DCF social worker wanting to know if we want to be considered as an adoptive family for a little boy. Until we talk to her to find out more information, we won't know if he even sounds like a good fit for us. And if we say yes, there's no guarantee that we'll end up being chosen as one of the "finalists" in the selection process, but it's still really exciting. The thing I'm panicked about is what if he sounds like a good fit and we say yes, and then I find out I'm pregnant. I am going to try not to think about that because there are so many "ifs" that probably won't even become reality, but I can't help it.


QOTW: What is your favorite Date Night? I love going to dinner and comedy show. We have a couple of restaurant/comedy clubs nearby and they are so fun. I love to eat, drink and laugh!

Good morning ladies!

What are you doing this month?
NTNP

Where are you at in your journey?
Cycle 41 (or 42?). We thought we were done after the 4th failed IUI. Then my insurance changed and started to include IF coverage. I had an RE appointment this morning. He dropped a bombshell on me that IVF is a very viable option with the insurance coverage I'll have in January. I didn't realize that was financially within our grasp, so I'm totally reeling with lots of thoughts and questions.

What is your mood?
Hopeful

QOTW: What is your favorite Date Night?
A nice glass of wine with a yummy dinner somewhere with a beautiful view, followed by a walk outside (weather permitting).

What are you doing this month? All the things once AF goes away

Where are you at in your journey? Cycle 7, CD 4

What is your mood? Just trying to decide whether I want to call my ob now or wait until after the holidays. I know it's silly but I would really like to lose a little weight before going to see him since I know I have gained in the 6 months since I was there last and I am really embarrassed about that.

QOTW: What is your favorite Date Night? We don't really have date nights other than our anniversary and Valentine's day. I really like to just go to a nice (but not fancy) dinner, drink some wine, and savor my meal. Now that we have a toddler that does not do well at restaurants where you sit and are served, it's a treat.

What are you doing this month? Right now, waiting out the last day of AF, taking PNVs. Will be charting BBT and CM, OPKs, drinking more water. I want to start some yoga but not sure I'll get to it.


Where are you at in your journey? CD 4, Cycle 3


What is your mood? Stressed!! We are supposed to be getting holiday photos this Friday at our house. Most of the kitchen's contents are currently piled in our tiny living room. The kitchen floor project didn't get even close to finished while MH was off last week. I still haven't picked out outfits yet, and there definitely won't be any Christmas decorations up by Friday, if at all this season. I don't know where we'll have a spot to even take pictures. On top of that, my dog is hospitalized at the vet in possible kidney failure. If one more thing goes wrong, I'd like to buy a one-way ticket to a nice sunny place and never come back (j/k). I really do feel like there's just too much on my plate right now.


QOTW: What is your favorite Date Night? Go for dinner and beer at a local brewery. I like to go bowling or play shuffleboard after….something like that….but it usually ends after dinner.

[wannabmama]

beachdreamer that's a lot going on! Fx your pup is ok. I'll take one of those one way tix out of town too!
@ mugger hope your body cooperates with timing!
agpjt413 we always hit food coma if we do movie after dinner too...I sleep through more movies than I watch!
jwinct exciting about the potential adoption! I'd just ride along and see what pans out (yes easier said than done!)
Tiger exciting that IVF is a financial option now, at least!
@usernameedit the roller coaster of emotions is tough...but glad you're feeling better today!
sleepymonkey I don't even have kids and a quiet dinner out with time to savor food and wine sounds nice!
Status: TTC #1
What are you doing this month? IUI #2 on Thurs (inject and HIO tonight )
Where are you at in your journey? On CD12 and triggering...I've never O'ed before day 16 before, feels weird!
What is your mood? Insanely excited. No idea why. No reason this should work when nothing else has! Still scared to give myself the shot (even though it was nbd last time).
QOTW: my favorite date night ever MH picked me up at the train with the dogs in the car, we stopped at a pizza place to pick up an order, and then went to this lake with picnic tables (and almost no people) he brought wine and plastic cups and we watched the sunset and played with the puppies. It was exactly perfect.

Sorry... went MIA for a bit. Lots going on and just needed a break to pretend this stuff didn't consume my life. LOL.

Status: TTC #3 for me, #1 for DH since Nov/Dec 2013

What are you doing this month? I took a break from supplements and acupuncture, mostly to give my wallet a break but also to take my mind off it.

Where are you at in your journey? Another super long cycle.... I stopped recording temping so no idea really but I am temping every morning anyway... if it stays over 97.5 for more than a day I'll consider that

What is your mood? Much better... trigger was at an event with some professional long term acquaintances someone saying "you guys aren't TRYING are you.. I mean you are like my age.".. Wanted to strangle them.. and I know they were being innocent and had no idea. Later that evening I talked to someone who ended up adopting at about my age (after her 2nd IVF she found out she had cervical cancer so they had to reevaluate their options). She was very open and definitely "got it". But the whole night made me realize I needed to step away and take a break and focus on some other stuff.


QOTW: What is your favorite Date Night? Movies at home with popcorn and adult beverages in our home theater. If we have to go out.... wineries and live music.

What are you doing this month? PNV, Charting, Seeing the RE today!


Where are you at in your journey? CD17/4DPO


What is your mood? Excited/hopeful about seeing the RE. Spending time with my niece this week showed me yet again what an awesome father he'd be, and I would do anything to have the privilege of raising a kid with him. It took away all the sadness I had about needing to consult an RE, and just made me even more determined to find a way to add to our family.


QOTW: What is your favorite Date Night? There used to be an old drive in about 10 mins from our house, H and I (back when he was the BF) would bring KFC and sneak in a couple beers and watch a double feature. It was torn down about 9yrs ago, but those were some of our first dates and remain my favorite.
