WTDS 12/14

[nuggetrn]

The Waiting to Do Something Thread is posted once a week (usually on Mondays) 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.

Numbers:

Circumstances:

R/R/NFNSQ:

GTKY- Do you enjoy seeing plays or musicals? What Do you prefer and what is the last thing you saw?

[nuggetrn]

I am at work so I am posting this and running but I wanted to get it up!

Hope you are all having a lovely morning

[littlelion]

Thanks for starting nuggetrn!

Numbers: 1 AL/CD4

Circumstances: Ectopic pregnancy, waiting for hcg to 0. And I got there last Weds! No more waiting for me!

R/R/NFNSQ: WTDS has been like home here on GKU. I don't know what I would've without the support I found here while waiting in limbo. I hope all of you burn the bench as soon as you're ready. I'll def be lurking and cheering you on.

GTKY- I like seeing musicals. The last one was Wicked which was awesome. But the most memorable was watching Lion King with my nieces and nephew. They were awestruck.

[ourcrazynavylife]

Numbers: C1/CD4

Circumstances: 11.5 months pp, bf'ing, TFAS in March

R/R/NFNSQ: NGKU related. But my entire little family got norovirus over the weekend. So we're over here recovering from that.

GTKY- Do you enjoy seeing plays or musicals? What Do you prefer and what is the last thing you saw?

I've never seen a musical but I've seen a play and the ballet. My preference would be for plays and I think the last I saw was a Midsummer Nights Dream at Blackfriars playhouse.

[ourcrazynavylife]

littlelion yahhh!!!! For reaching zero!!!!!

[penguin129]

nuggetrn, I hope you have a good day at work.
littlelion Yay for reaching 0! Good luck moving back out of WTDS
ourcrazynavylife I hope you all get well soon. That must have been tough.

[penguin129]

Numbers: CD 16

Circumstances: Finishing our 2nd cycle trying by not trying. Waiting for insurance to kick in and see new doctors about my hypothyroidism.

R/R/NFNSQ: I'm ok with being back to waiting. I was nervous about trying before I saw a new doctor for my thyroid and my OBGYN anyway. Christmas is keeping me busy.

GTKY- Do you enjoy seeing plays or musicals? What Do you prefer and what is the last thing you saw? Musicals! I think the last one I saw was Chicago I thought the movie was so much better than it was on Broadway.

[diamondsndaisies]

Numbers: 1 AL/CD 8

Circumstances: On the bench until I am done with 6 months of blood thinners after pregnancy induced blood clot. I should be off the bench by May.

R/R/NFNSQ: just starting to temp again. I just got my 1st PP period (it was HELL!) and I want to see what my cycles are going to do. 

GTKY- Do you enjoy seeing plays or musicals? What Do you prefer and what is the last thing you saw?
Yes. We usually try to go to 2 or so a year. We bought DD tickets to Cinderella for Christmas. It is showing in March.

[BabyStandish]

littlelion woo!!

[BabyStandish]

Numbers: n/a

Circumstances: still waiting for my 1st PP; NTNP; BFing 11 month old

R/R/NFNSQ: this time of year is so crazy! We've been out of town the last 3 weekends in a row. This weekend we "rest" and then going out of town again for Christmas. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills

GTKY- Do you enjoy seeing plays or musicals? What Do you prefer and what is the last thing you saw?
Yes, but I hardly ever go. I can't even remember what the last one I've seen was

[daisy818]

Numbers: Cycle/month 12, CD26/12dpo

Circumstances: Tubes be blocked; just waiting to meet with an RE

R/R/NFNSQ: Not looking forward to my post-lap period - the GYN said that I should hang on to my post-op pain meds because it will likely be rough. Temp is declining, so my guess is CD1 will be Wednesday...

GTKY- Do you enjoy seeing plays or musicals? What Do you prefer and what is the last thing you saw? I generally prefer plays. I think the last thing I saw though was a musical, Mary Poppins.

[ellabee]

Thanks for starting nuggetrn!
Hooray for 0 hcg littlelion!!!
Oh no ourcrazynavylife!I hope you're all on the mend. That sounds like it was a tough weekend.
I'm glad the holidays are keeping you busy penguin129. Hopefully the wait for the insurance to kick in goes quickly for you.
Ugh. I'm so sorry your first pp period was so sucky diamondsndaisies. Hopefully May comes quickly for you!
I feel like we're on crazy pills too BabyStandish. Life is seriously busy right now, I feel you!
I hope your post-la period isn't too bad daisy818. Fx you don't need those meds!


Numbers: cycle 6, month 7, 1AL, CD9, hcg...?

Circumstances: Waiting for hcg to be 0 and doc to give the OK.

R/R/NFNSQ: Nothing really, just super busy this week. Traveling all day tomorrow just so I can make a 1 hr meeting in person...seems like such a waste. Friday we're going to the bahamas for christmas!!! I can't wait, but I'm struggling with getting myself organized enough to pack. It'll be the first time we're flying with DD, so I'm trying to wrap my head around the logistics.

GTKY- Do you enjoy seeing plays or musicals? What Do you prefer and what is the last thing you saw? I like both, but haven't been to one in aaages. I couldn't even tell you the last one we saw.

[cheshie6]

littlelion, congrats on 0, sorry to see you go but glad you get to burn the bench.
ourcrazynavylife, I hope you and your family feel better soon!
penguin129, I don't think we can be friends! Maybe that cast (on Broadway) was having a bad day!?!
diamondsndaisies, I'm sorry you're on the bench but glad you found your way here.
BabyStandish, I feel like this season crazy, glad you got a weekend off!
daisy818, I hope it's not as bad as your GYN says it'll be!
ellabee, GL with traveling with your LO. Maybe you can find some help on pinterest!?! I hope you have fun in the Bahamas.

Numbers: 17 Cycles since loss, CD 21; DPO 6

Circumstances: DH's job is overseas and is only home every other month and his schedule is "off" from my bodies. He's supposed to get home at the tail end of FW, and he leaves at the start of FW.

R/R/NFNSQ: Well we lucked out with O the day after H left. We hit -3; -1! FF says good. Puppy comes home tomorrow. I don't know how much on line presence I'll have after that!

GTKY- Do you enjoy seeing plays or musicals? What Do you prefer and what is the last thing you saw? I love musicals and plays. I prefer musicals. The last musical I saw was Wicked with DH (his first Broadway show) Unless you count what I saw on Disney Cruise lines. Then, I don't remember the names of those. One was like a sampler of their Broadway shows which was really good. I hope now that we live closer to Boston and NYC (formerly on the West Coast) that we'll get to go more frequently.

[penguin129]

cheshie6 I don't know what it was. Maybe it was because I saw the movie so many times before seeing Chicago on Broadway. I just kept thinking Richard Gere, Catherene, and Renee should be there singing and dancing. and YAY for your timing!

[amandamh2]

Numbers: n/a

Circumstances: NTNP/TFAS in January (currently on BCP and BFing so no PP cycles yet, not we'll see when they return once I stop BCP)

R/R/NFNSQ: I can't believe we leave for Christmas holidays with our parents next week, it totally snuck up on me! Where on earth have the past two months gone?

GTKY- Do you enjoy seeing plays or musicals? What Do you prefer and what is the last thing you saw? I love both! I grew up in a tiny town and then was in university the past few years with no money so I've never seen anything professional, just the ones my high school put on. I was a drama geek in high school so the last few I went to I was part of, the most recent being Grease. The last one I saw that I wasn't acting in was Footloose.

[gabride2010]

Thanks for starting nuggetrn.

littlelion Congrats on getting to 0!

ourcrazynavylife Sorry y'all were all sick. I hope y'all feel better soon!

penguin129 I hope y'all can get back to TTC soon. I hope your thyroid gets straightened out soon.

diamondsndaisies I'm sorry to hear about your blood clot.

BabyStandish I hope your first post partum period comes soon!

daisy818 I hope your period isn't too awful. When is your RE appt?

ellabee I hope your HCG gets back to 0 soon! Have fun in the Bahamas!

cheshie6 I hope your body can sync with your H's work schedule (or vice versa) soon!

AFM...

Numbers: Cycle 3 CD 11 off BCP

Circumstances: TTA until February

R/R/NFNSQ: I've upped my Metformin to 1500mg, and I hope I O earlier this cycle. I started temping vaginally this cycle, but I'm not sure that it is helping my chart be less rocky. I've started now, so I'm going to do it for this full cycle.

GTKY- Do you enjoy seeing plays or musicals? What Do you prefer and what is the last thing you saw? I've seen a few musicals, but I'm not a huge fan of plays or musicals. However, I LOVE the soundtrack for Phantom of the Opera, but only the original London cast with Sarah Brightman. She is an amazing singer.

[amandamh2]

Yay for 0 hcg and leaving WTDS littlelion! Wishing you all the best
Hope the recovery goes well ourcrazynavylife, that does not sound fun.
Glad you're feeling okay about waiting penguin129. Hopefully you can sort through insurance and find a new doctor quickly so things can be in a better place.
That sucks about the rough period diamondsndaisies, hopefully the next one's not so bad.
Crazy schedule BabyStandish! We had a ton of weddings in just a couple months and were gone pretty much every weekend, so fun but also super draining.
Hopefully your period isn't too rough daisy818.
Sounds like a fun vacation ellabee!
That's too bad about your cycle and your H's schedule being so different, hopefully they work soon cheshie6.
Love the Phantom of the Opera soundtrack gabride2010! A friend of mine was a big fan so we listened to it on band trips.

[ourcrazynavylife]

Can I add this to my R/R for the day:
I wish facebook would stop bombarding me with links to baby name lists
Because I have no self control and click them then waste hours of my life perusing.
Lol.

[gabride2010]

Have fun in Mexico @holachica!

ourcrazynavylife I do that too! Our last name is difficult to say, and it's kinda long, so coming up with first and middle names that are easy to say and relatively short can be challenging. H and I have a list going of names we like, and I love looking at different name lists.

[daisy818]

gabride2010, I have an appointment with the local RE on Jan. 11, but the other RE that I think I might prefer I can't get in to see until Feb. 29 (although I'm on a cancellation list). I could probably do an HSG in late January with the first RE, but timing-wise in my cycle it would be late March with the second one, and I hate to wait so long!

[ourcrazynavylife]

gabride2010 my DH refuses to think/discuss/whatever names until the sex of said unconceived child is known. He thinks it's a waste of time.

Fortunately I have a very close girlfriend who fully supports my crazy train that I can text about them. Lol

Numbers: Month 16, Cycle 21, CD 2.

Circumstances: TTA until Mid March/Beginning of April for FMLA purposes.

R/R/NFNSQ: WTAF with having a 22 day cycle again. My uterus is an asshole. 3 cycles of "normalcy", then right back to short cycles. FU uterus, I should not have had this many cycles already.

GTKY- Do you enjoy seeing plays or musicals? What Do you prefer and what is the last thing you saw? I like both. The last play I saw was an off broadway performance that my friend was in. It was in a teeny tiny space above some kind of restaurant.

Boo - I'm sorry about the short cycle - FX that next cycle is like the previous 3!

[nuggetrn]

littlelion, WAHOO!!! So glad you are off the bench!!!

penguin129, I am glad you are feeling better this week about going back to TTA. January will be here so soon!!

diamondsndaisies, Hey pretty lady, I am so sorry to see you here but I really hope that it helps to have a place to pass the time as you wait to burn the bench. I love that you take your daughter to the theater... we used to go all the time as kids (our grandma bought our family ticket packages) and they are all really good memories growing up.

BabyStandish, This time of year is so so crazy!!! I hope you get lots of "rest" this weekend, lol! 

daisy818, Fx your period isn't as bad as you are anticipating!

ellabee, Oh the Bahamas will be so nice!! Good luck flying with your daughter!

cheshie6, Hooray for good timing!!! Fx for this cycle!!!

gabride2010, I am so so so pumped that you O'd on your own! Hopefully you can handle the 1500 and O a little earlier!! I just O'd on CD25 the first cycle I was on 1500. CD25!!!!! Good luck!!

@wallflwr926, Stupid uterus. Grrrr. I am still so hoping for your sake that this was a one time thing and it is not becoming your normal again. For what it's worth

[daisy818]

So the doctor was right, definitely needing the 800mg ibuprofen right now. But it seems to be working, which is good, bc I feel like taking percocet at work is less than ideal...

[nuggetrn]

Numbers: Cycle 3/Month 5 CD6

Circumstances: We are back to being TTA

R/R/NFNSQ: So a recap of the last few months of my life... DH lost his job, found a new one. Took a giant pay cut. We're building a house, and I just started a new job with benefits at the end of November.

We decided that we should try out the whole being responsible adults thing, and as responsible adults we should TTA for at least a couple of months so that any future due date will be after a year of me being at this new company so that I am able to take time off and get paid.

I am inappropriate amounts of devastated right now. So much crap has happened this year and I am so so ready for it to start turning around. I am hanging on by a thread.

I had a regular length cycle this last time around, which was amazing and a total surprise. With good timing too. But after a 10 day LP... CD1! But the cycle before that was a 76 day long cycle, 16 day LP with two light little positives and then nothing. That I wasn't ready to admit to when it happened. So not only does my body ovulate just whenever it wants to, my ute isn't all that hospitable anyway. And now I am begrudgingly moving to TTA for now.

GTKY- Do you enjoy seeing plays or musicals? What Do you prefer and what is the last thing you saw? I enjoy both, but given the choice I think I would have to go with a musical. Also, I wrote this question and I am having the hardest time thinking of what the last thing I even saw was.... I am also sort of in disbelief that if I am remembering correctly it has been forever and ever since we saw anything. So the last I can remember is that we got to see The Lion King when it came to town. So good.

I just entered a drawing to win some tickets to see Mary Poppins in January through my work!! Fx!

Well boo, wishful thinking. I am glad that the ibuprofen is working though!!

[BabyStandish]

nuggetrn I'm sorry you guys have had a rough couple months. I hope the new year starts off well for you guys. Hang in there

[penguin129]

nuggetrn I am so sorry to hear you are back on the bench. I know you are ready for this. I think waiting a bit might be good so you can get time off like you said. Sending you many hugs rights now.

[daisy818]

nuggetrn, so sorry about your rough year and having to TTA for a while - ((hugs))
