WTDS 1/4-1st of the year

[DariaMorgendorfer]

I'm just getting caught up since I had to post-and-run earlier...

thechickencoop, it sounds like you had a rough 2015 (to put it mildly). I'm so sorry for your losses. I really hope you can get into the RE soon and that you get some answers/help.

mosdub, I would also probably lean towards NTNP if I were in your shoes.

bradysalon, my first PP period was like that scene in the Shining. You know the one. The 2nd was a little better, but not much. FX that your experience is better!

TheEleventhHour, if you get a goat (or goats), I will be green with envy. Gimme all the goats!!!

sweetmelissa5, my OB isn't worried about my LP since it's always been short and we didn't have issues conceiving DS. She told me I could take the Vitex but that she was overall unconcerned about it. Which is both annoying and comforting.

I'm sorry for your loss, and I would probably wait for CD1, but if you'd prefer to get back in the habit, it wouldn't hurt anything. Also, I might be going to Hilton Head later this year as well; it's so beautiful there.

When are you thinking of going?  We've never been before, so we're not sure if summer or fall would be better.

It's my parents' vacation (they book and then invite us to join them), and it will be sometime in August. They went last summer as well, but I didn't feel up to dealing with my youngest, so I stayed home with her while my parents took the other three for the week, and everyone had a great time. Summer is great if you're planning to spend a lot of time at the beach, but Hilton Head is really nice tempature-wise in the fall and early winter (especially if you're coming from a colder climate), but it can be a bit chilly for the beach at those times.

Numbers:
 None, we are just starting to think about TTC in the next few months. I have read most (although perhaps not closely enough yet) of TCOYF. I just bought a thermometer but have not started temping yet.


Circumstances:
 I am still on the ring, although I've been considering stopping for several months now. I am pretty done with hormonal BC. This month is possibly my last.

R/R/NFNSQ:
I am annoyed at the amount my in-laws talk about grandchildren. I feel it's very insensitive to bring it up and I am worried about how I will react if we experience any difficulty conceiving. 


GTKY: What are you looking forward to the most this year? We have several fun trips that we are starting to plan. I am looking forward to really enjoying this year of fun together, as we will hopefully start a family soon.

Welcome to the board! Good luck with everything, and feel free to ask if you have any questions about charting. I don't currently temp, but I've done it in the past and found it very valuable for understanding my body and my cycle.

I'm jumping in since I've been lurking and we've made the decision to TTC this year. I'm so freakin excited

About me: I'm 29 husband is 28 we have 16mon DS, we live in northern Cali. I'm a SAHM and the baby fever is strong after seeing all the family baby's during the holidays! Love getting out and being outdoors or getting together w groups of friends.


Numbers: planning on getting off mini pill (still bf) in May and starting ttc in July. I charted with my first so I am familiar.

Circumstances: TTA for now. I would like to wean before ttc so we'll see how that goes, we still have time.

R/R/NFNSQ: I too got BFP on my first cycle and I'm trying not to expect the same this time. I'm such a planner and although I know it's out of my control I would ideally like to have #2 after all the holidays but before it gets super hot here in Cali.

GTKY: so many fun things now that DS is older and running around like crazy. Hoping to keep up with running and maybe do a couple more 5k or 10k, but can't stop thinking about TTGP right now.

[Deleted]

Numbers: 17 months/ 21 cycles/ CD 22? ( I don't remember)

Circumstances: 15 ish months of trying, many short cycles, and a lap for funsies. Currently TTA while waiting for FMLA eligibility. After that unknown, please see rant below.

R/R/NFNSQ: So MH has decided he is no longer interested in treatments. I have consistently short LPs and cycles, and a long history of unexplained pelvic. While the pain has gone away for the most part, my cycles are still a fucking disaster. My gyn was not confident at all that I would be able to get KU naturally. Just as we made the decision to see an RE, MH got a job offer back home. I finished out the lease and relocated just in time for him to get fired. He found another job, but was laid off after Christmas. He has another potential job offer, and thinks we should start building a business instead of a family. I switch between angry and sad.
As it stands right now, when/if we are able to return to TTC we will be NTNP indefinitely.
My husband sucks balls right now.

Also I'm shitty at tagging. So hola to newcomers, hugs to the rest of my wtds loves.

GTKY: What are you looking forward to the most this year? Not living at my MIL's house anymore.

[thechickencoop]

@wallflwr926 sorry about the H job troubles Does he want to start his own company? Or he just wants to have a more established job in his field? I obviously don't know the specifics but I kiiiiinda see wanting to have that stability in place before TTC again especially since he's been through two other jobs in the recent past.

Do you have ins through your job though? Have you seen a new gyn to at least get a second opinion on wtf is going on with your cycles from that point of view? (vs as RE at this point anyway...) since you're in a new area....ah, I don't know. I'm just sorry that you keep getting pushed back. BUT glad you're not in pain at least! :/

[TheEleventhHour]

Ugh I am so sorry @wallflwr926. That sucks. It is okay to feel angry or sad or whatever. It is a huge change to process. Hugs.

[penguin129]

@wallflwr926 I'm sorry to hear you don't really have a time set to TTC anymore. I hope your H comes around. I could understand his being nervous since he's had a rough month or two while switching jobs.

daisylola11 and eucalyptus Welcome to WTDS!

[thechickencoop]

Oh yay, just rescheduled our RE consult for two weeks from today. I'm excited to get in during this cycle at least!

[Rama]

I missed this on Monday, whoops.

Numbers: Trying since May 2014

Circumstances: Ectopic

R/R/NFNSQ: I'm antsy for this ectopic to resolve. I just want to get back to treatment and get pg again and as much as I love you all, I want out.

GTKY: What are you looking forward to the most this year? Nothing specific. I've got a few vacation plans, but nothing is set in stone.

[diamondsndaisies]

@wallflwr926, I'm sorry my dear. I'm still hoping that he changes his mind.

[TheEleventhHour]

Rama I don't blame you for wanting out! I hope the ectopic resolves soon!

[TheEleventhHour]

Also, it is CD7 for me and I still haven't started temping lol. I am the world's worst temper. Hopefully starting tomorrow will still let me see O but not holding my breath because this will be my first time temping while working night shift. It will be interesting to see how that goes!

[nuggetrn]

Hi all. I have been so busy and kind of lax about posting. But wanted to come in here and say I love you all. Welcome to the new people!! I am glad some of you are here but sad to see some others. I hope this place is exactly how you need it to be while you're waiting 

Numbers: CD27

Circumstances: I think I should basically admit to being NTNP this month because we have not TTA'd in the least. So much for our attempt at being responsible.

R/R/NSNFQ: I just found out one of my bridesmaids and her husband are expecting and due in July. 1. I found out via facebook and not from her, and 2. for about a minute we thought we would be expecting in July. So that sucks. But I am thrilled for them while being sad for me and I have never fully felt that way until now. So now I can truly understand that range of emotions. 

I am also in a confusing place with a really close friend who had her baby right before Christmas. They are seriously our best couple friends and we were so excited for this baby. We still haven't met her... I was trying to give her space at first and I knew she was going to have a lot of family in her way and coming to see her so I said to just let us know when we could come visit. I talked to her a few days after Christmas and said the same thing. Still no indication about when we can come see them. It's rather disappointing.

GTKY: I am in the middle of planning a trip to see a friend from nursing school in February! I am excited. Sad that not ALL of my plans are working out the way I thought they would. But figuring it out.

Also we will be moving into our house this year!! Hopefully sooner rather than later. Cannot wait.

[gabride2010]

Welcome daisylola11!

@wallflwr926 I'm so sorry for your H's job troubles and having to stop TTC. I hope he comes around soon! Big giant hugs.

thechickencoop I'm glad you don't have to wait a super long time before your RE appt! I hope it goes well.

Rama I hope you get your take home baby soon!

[gabride2010]

Sorry for all the feelz nuggetrn. I'm glad that y'all get to move in this year!

[sammysam]

Numbers : N / A

Circumstances : Most likely OAD but still hanging out here on the off chance that SO manages to change my mind in the not too distant future (the chance of this happening is looking smaller by the minute)

R / R : I need SO to get the renos going on our house. I love my parents but I need my own home back.

GTKY: Getting the renos both started and finished so I have a home again. I have been living out of a suitcase with DD for over a year now!

This confusion sounds difficult. Could you call and offer to cook them dinner? It would be helpful and would hopefully break the ice a bit.

[sammysam]

TheEleventhHour Yay to temping already! I can't believe how close you are to TFAS.

ourcrazynavylife I am crossing my fingers that you oops turns out to be something wonderful.

nuggetrn If it makes you feel any better I went months without seeing friends or family when I came home from the hospital with DD. It took me some serious time to adjust to life again and I was terrified of anyone else holding her or bringing in germs (serious PPA and PPD at play). I love my friends but could not fathom seeing anyone...no matter how close or important to me in my life.

[mosdub]

@wallflwr926 I'm so sorry I hope that things will naturally align for you and your H soon so that your life feels less turbulent - whatever those things may be. Hugs to you girl.
