Last WTDS of the Year

[penguin129]

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: What is one thing you want to buy for yourself now that Christmas is over?

[penguin129]

Numbers: CD 5

Circumstances: Waiting to see new doctors to treat hypo

R/R/NFNSQ: I'm still waiting to hear if the family doctor I want will take me on. He is on vacation all week so I won't find anything out until next week. Gyno appt is Jan. 26th. We will most likely wait out this cycle and try in February. Question: Is having a 2 day period bad?

GTKY: I really want to get a printer and a tower fan. Also some new outside lights for Christmas next year.

[TheEleventhHour]

Ahhhh how it this the last one of 2015?! Crazy. Also I have been a really bad WTDSer lately!

Numbers: Not keeping track until next cycle.

Circumstances: TTA until DH's job becomes permanent.

R/R/NFNSQ: So DH's principal said she would be having a meeting with the teacher who he is subbing for after winter break and she got the feeling it was because the teacher doesn't want to come back from maternity leave!!! And his principal already said to him if that is the case they want him to stay! Keeping my FX so freaking hard right now.

GTKY: What is one thing you want to buy for yourself now that Christmas is over? A journal/calendar/planner for 2016. I want to keep better track of what I eat, what exercise I do, and how I am feeling. Especially with dealing with my low iron and vitamin D it helps to track symptoms so I can tell him my supplement dosages are helping. And I want to lose weight and keeping track of my progress is motivating.

[bradysalon]

*trigger warning- pregnancy/child mentioned**
Hello. I hope you guys will have me. I was on GKU last year but have been MIA during pregnancy and the last few months. I check in on the grad thread when I can.

Numbers: n/a still waiting in 1st PP cycle.


Circumstances: We will start TTA as soon as my first PP period starts. I do not want to go on BC and we plan to start when DS is a year old. He is currently 10 weeks.


R/R/NFNSQ: I am just happy I haven't started my period yet. In scared for the first one. That was the one thing I liked about pregnancy- no bleeding. I just stopped breastfeeding so I'm sure it can come anytime!


GTKY: What is one thing you want to buy for yourself now that Christmas is over? A new car. Hahahah but that is out of the question.

[Deleted]

penguin129 - So i'm a bad example, but I frequently get 2 day periods. Was it super light or heavy and painful? Or just short?
TheEleventhHour - Good Luck !! I hope he gets the job.

Hi bradysalon

Numbers: 16 months, 21? cycles( I forget)

Circumstances: FMLA eligibilty, indecisive husband

R/R/NFNSQ: Not much. Working two jobs so i'm tired and disinterested in sex which is a new experience for MH, usually it's the other way around. I think I either ovulated or am about to ovulate so we will be avoiding for a few more days. I have been terrible at temping lately so i'm just taking a guess based on secondary signs.

GTKY: What is one thing you want to buy for yourself now that Christmas is over? I have a gift certificate for the gap/old navy/ whatever else they own. Maybe some scarves or pants. I need new dress pants in a color other than black. I also need new bras.

[penguin129]

@wallflwr926 This past week it was light/medium. The cycle before that it was really heavy for 2 days and light coming in/out of it. If that make any sense.

[BabyStandish]

Numbers: n/a

Circumstances: Waiting for first PP cycle still.

R/R/NFNSQ: LO has been eating more solids lately so I'm hopeful that my period will start soon.

GTKY: hmmmm a new car would be nice! But that won't happen for another 1-2 years.

[gabride2010]

penguin129 I hope this doctor accepts you and that he can get your thyroid straightened out soon!

TheEleventhHour That would be so awesome if your H got to stay at that position! Let us know what y'all find out.

bradysalon What kind of car would you get?

@wallflwr926 I hope you get some time off to relax soon.

BabyStandish What are your child's favorite solid foods?

AFM...

Numbers: Cycle 3 CD 25 (FF says 7dpo, but I don't believe it)

Circumstances: TTA until February (5 more weeks -holy cow!)

R/R/NFNSQ: Can I get a CS please? I'm temping vaginally for the first time this cycle, and my chart is super ugly. FF says that I'm 7 DPO, but I doubt that I've actually ovulated yet. What do y'all think?

GTKY: What is one thing you want to buy yourself now that Christmas is over?

I would love a pair of boots that are chocolate brown.

[penguin129]

TheEleventhHour I'm crossing everything that your H's position becomes permanent.

bradysalon Congrats on your LO! Welcome to WTDS! There are a great bunch of ladies here.

[cheshie6]

penguin129, I don't know if 2 day periods are bad, last time I had short periods like that was when I just came off BC.
TheEleventhHour, I'm with you on tracking! I'm the worst at it though! GL with tracking/journalling.
bradysalon, Welcome! You do go here!
@wallflwr926, I'm sorry that your sex drive isn't there. I feel like being tired makes it harder. Especially once you're in bed, you just want some sleep!!! I hope things improve soon!

Numbers: Cd 9 18 Cycles AL

Circumstances: DH is at work and seems to be coming home and too close to O (home a few days after O; goes back to work a few days before O) timing has been good thus far, hoping it holds.

R/R/NFNSQ: New puppy who is SUPER good (she's 10 weeks old and is sleeping at least 6 hours from 11pm till 5am, sometimes 7 hours) is messing with my temping. So who knows what this month will look like or if FF will know when I O. LOL

GTKY: What is one thing you want to buy for yourself now that Christmas is over? I actually just got the Create 365 Happy Planner from Michael's fro $7.99! It was on clearance and for some reason the 50% off coupon worked on it, I'm not complaining!!! I want to buy a journal to write to DH to give to him on New Year's 2017. Let him have insight into my crazy mind but I'm awful at journalling.

Welcome to my world. lol.

[penguin129]

BabyStandish FX for AF shows up early in the New Year for you.

gabride2010 What detector are you on? I see how FF is seeing a fallback rise. Based on your CM and negative OPK's I want to say you didn't O yet. I bet if your temps are low the next couple of days FF will take away the CH's. This is my first time attempting to CS so take what I say lightly

LOL! I'm wondering if my changing TSH levels have anything to do with it. I bet they do...

I would go with yes. Not a doctor, but that makes total sense.

[gabride2010]

penguin129 It is set on advanced, which is the recommended setting.

ETA: This is my first cycle using OPKs, so I'm not sure if they will even work for me.

[amandamh2]

Numbers: n/a

Circumstances: TFAS in January (only 5 more pills... holy crap!)

R/R/NFNSQ: Only a few more birth control pills left! I'll probably be hanging out here for a while yet though since I'm still BFing and haven't had any PP cycles yet. I can't believe we're at that point!

GTKY: What is one thing you want to buy for yourself now that Christmas is over? We're planning to buy a new tv that wall mounts since DS is getting more and more mobile and curious now.

[gabride2010]

amandamh2 Yay for only having 5 pills left to take! Good luck TFAS.

[WineNChocolate]

Numbers: CD 26 3rd PP Cycle


Circumstances: Periods are still kind of off on when they start I used to be like a clock 28 days apart 7 days long. Now they are 28-31 days, maybe 5 days. So that's annoying. My ovulation seems to be right on course, however stressed out due to tracking again and that approaching date. TAKE THE TEST..are the cramps you had cause of your period of implanting, is your discharge glue like or watery? So many questions..so much maybe, ifs or could be's. So we will see on Friday, when I can take the test.


R/R/NFNSQ: Random emotional struggle I am in, will I be able to love both just as much. My 11 month old is my world, I could like eat her. She makes us so happy. It really scares me sometimes "taking" that away from her. Is that weird..probably. 


GTKY: What is one thing you want to buy for yourself now that Christmas is over? WORK CLOTHES, After my daughter and getting my body back I need clothes so bad..however we are trying GKU and of course when that happens those clothes will go and collect dust in the closet again.

[bradysalon]

gabride2010 we need a bigger car. Maybe a rav? Some sort of mini suv.

[gabride2010]

Welcome to WTDS WineNChocolate! (Sorry if you've been here before and I forgot!). Good luck TFAS!

Nope completely NEW! Thanks for the Hello!

[Rama]

I'm baaaaaaack!

Numbers: 11 / 19...maybe?

Circumstances: Having a loss, benched until at least 1 cycle after hCG hits negative, probably.

R/R/NFNSQ: I wish this process weren't so gaddang long.

GTKY: What is one thing you want to buy for yourself now that Christmas is over? Nothing, really

[penguin129]

Rama I'm sorry to see you back here. Many more hugs to you.

[gabride2010]

Rama I am so sorry for your loss! I hope your HCG hits 0 ASAP.

[TheEleventhHour]

Rama I'm sorry you're back here but you know we welcome you with open arms.

[RajahMD]

Well, I think it's time to come back to WTDS. I'm currently at CD26. I had CH for about day over a week ago, but none since then. Plenty of secondary signs of O and lots of PMS symptoms, but no clear temp shift. I was on call more than half of the days this month, so I think the unusual sleep schedule and abnormal waking times have really messed with my temps. At this point, I'm not sure if I O'ed and FF can't detect due to the temps or if I just haven't O'ed at all yet. Tested this morning for drinking purposes- BFN of course. I'll probably test once a week until CD60 and if I don't have any signs of O, AF, or a BFP by then I'll call my doc.

[bradysalon]

Rama I'm so sorry for your loss.

Eta- words

[nuggetrn]

Rama,
The biggest of hugs lady, I am so sorry that you are back here

[nuggetrn]

It's Thursday, I am posting late. Hi guys

Numbers: CD22 Cycle 3/Month more than 3, too lazy to double check right now

Circumstances: PCOS, reluctantly returning to TTA til mid March due to job circumstances

R/R/NFNSQ: Honestly we have been failing rather hard at being TTA. In reality neither of us want it but we both know it's the responsible thing to do. I am in such a weird funk and I honestly don't see myself coming out of it at least until we move into our new house.

GTKY: What is one thing you want to buy for yourself now that Christmas is over? We are still on a spending freeze at the moment. So nothing right now. Again, I feel like my life is basically just in a holding pattern until we get into the new house.

[gabride2010]

I hope you O soon RajahMD.

nuggetrn I'm sorry y'all are back to TTA. I hope the time will pass quickly!
