WTDS 2/1

[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.

Circumstances:



R/R/NSNFQ:



GTKY- What is one goal you have for this month?

[penguin129]

Numbers: CD 8

Circumstances: We shall see...

R/R/NFNSQ: I have my 1st appointment with my new PCP today. I'm going to ask him about TTC with hypothyroidism and if my labs are ok to start trying. We have our home inspection and termite inspection today. I am so anxious.

GTKY: I want to get on DD and I on a better schedule. I can't keep staying up so late. I mean it's almost 1 am as I'm typing this. I made a daily habit tracker in my Bullet Journal and I am going to try and use that to help me with my goals.

[gabride2010]

I hope your appt goes well and that y'all are cleared for TTC penguin129! FX for a good inspection today! Which house did you pick?

Numbers: Cycle 1 CD 60/8 DPO

Circumstances: TTC #1

R/R/NFNSQ: I'm just waiting for the end of this week to see if I will get my period or not. I'm trying not to get my hopes up or symptom spot.

GTKY: I want to start exercising again. I have heard people say that exercise helps them ovulate, and I would love to ovulate earlier. Also, I still have 40-50 pounds I need to lose. Exercise will hopefully help both of those goals!

[penguin129]

gabride2010 Yay for the TWW We picked the 2 bedroom/1 bathroom house after our Realtor was very real with us about our expectations and what we could afford. I am very happy with our choice

[nuggetrn]

Good morning!!

Good luck at your appt today penguin129!! I hope they have good things to say about beginning to TTC!

I can't believe you are in the TWW of your first cycle trying already gabride2010! Good luck! Will be stalking you all week!! Lol

[ourcrazynavylife]

Numbers: Cycle 2/ Month 3/ CD8

Circumstances: TFAS next month!!

R/R/NSNFQ: really hoping I ovulate earlier this cycle and it's not as long as the last one because I'd really like more than one shot at this (March & April vs just April)

GTKY- What is one goal you have for this month?
Keep trying to get in 3 workouts a week.

[amandamh2]

Numbers: unknown

Circumstances: NTNP/TFAS, no PP AF due to BFing

R/R/NSNFQ: So despite the fact that it is completely irrational to get mad at someone for getting colds all the time I'm pretty frustrated with DH. It feels like every second weekend he's out of commission because he has a cold. It's the only time I have much help as he keeps getting scheduled to work late during the week but then I'm stuck taking care of him too instead of having help. Why does his immune system suck so much?

GTKY: This month I have my first long-distance winter solo driving trip coming up. It's my Grandma's birthday (probably her last with how her cancer is doing) and DH can't get time off so DS and I are going alone. Hopefully the weather will be good because while my winter driving skills are improving, they and my confidence could use some work so I guess my goal is to build that!

[TheEleventhHour]

Numbers: CD2

Circumstances: TTA until May/June but starting to temp again this cycle

R/R/NSNFQ: So I am going to start temping again this month ... but DS's sleep the last two nights have been AWFUL so I didn't bother the last two mornings because it wouldn't have been accurate. Hopefully he will start sleeping better soon. I would like to have a couple months of data before officially TTC!

GTKY- What is one goal you have for this month? To start exercising every day! I need to lose a bit of weight before TTC. Even though I had zero complications I don't want to weigh as much this time around as I did with DS.

[TheEleventhHour]

penguin129 I hope your PCP appointment goes well and you get the okay to start TTC!

gabride2010 Ahhh how are you in your first TWW?! So exciting!!!

ourcrazynavylife I hope you ovulate sooner this month

amandamh2 Ugh, I feel you on the man colds. DH is zero help when he is sick and it can be so frustrating! Good luck with your long drive alone. Sorry to hear your grandmother isn't doing well with her cancer. That is great you and DS will be able to be there for her birthday!

[gabride2010]

Thanks penguin129! I hope you get the house!

Thanks nuggetrn! Stalk away I think I'm starting to board the crazy train!

ourcrazynavylife I hope you ovulate earlier this cycle too! I can't believe you are TFAS next month! That is so exciting!

amandamh2 Sorry your H is sick. I hope he gets better soon!

TheEleventhHour I hope your son is sleeping better soon! I can't believe I'm in my first TWW! This is so surreal!

[penguin129]

ourcrazynavylife 1 more month!!! YAY!
amandamh2 Good luck on your long distance trip. I'm sorry to hear the news about your grandmother.
TheEleventhHour Temp anyway. DD has had crappy sleep the majority of the 10 cycles I'm been temping and now matter how screwed up my sleep was FF always detected O. Try not to worry about it too much

Thanks everyone! The inspection went well. There's maybe about $30 of things that need to be fixed/added. My PCP appointment isn't until 3. So I should know something around 4 as far as TTC.

[teachermomtobe]

Unfortunately I find myself back here if you guys will have me.

Numbers: 7 cycles TTC, 3 cycles with RE

Circumstances: benched due to possible appendicitis

R/R/NSNFQ: Thursday my dr sent me to the ER for abdominal pain. Ovaries looked good but they couldn't see my appendix on the CT scan. They decided to give me antibiotics, repeat CT scan in 2 weeks, and possible appendectomy a few weeks after that. My PCP obviously does not want me getting pregnant until this is all sorted out so we're benched for at least 2 weeks but looking like longer. I'm very upset about this set back but I understand why it's important.

GTKY- What is one goal you have for this month? To figure out WTF is up with my appendix/body.

[amandamh2]

Good luck with the test results and home inspection penguin129! Big day.
Best of luck with your first TWW gabride2010. The waiting is so hard!
FX for earlier O and a shorter cycle this time around ourcrazynavylife.
Hope your DS starts sleeping better soon TheEleventhHour, for the sake of temping and the fact that full nights of sleep are just sooo much better.
teachermomtobe, I hope the doctor is able to figure out what's going on with your abdominal pain soon.

Thank you ladies so much for your kind words about my grandma. It's a tough time but I'm also just thankful that we're able to be within driving distance now since a year ago we were living across the country and weren't able to get back to our hometown very often.

[penguin129]

I have so many mixed feelings right now. The doctor said we could TTC, but my chart said I had Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (news to me). I looked it up on web md and acoording to them it is the number 1 preventable cause of infertility. My Gyno is the one who put it on my chart along with something else I was unaware of. I have lots of questions for when I see her Wednesday.

[TheEleventhHour]

That is so strange penguin129. Why would she put something on your chart but not tell you? Hopefully it is just an oversight. GL at your appointment.

***Trigger Warning, Living Children Mentioned****

Hi! I'm nemom, and I thought I would just intro here. I am a fellow J15er (I believe there are several of us on here) DH have decided to TFAS at the end of the summer this year. After trying for more then a year to conceive DD we started to have timed intercourse, with DS we decided to TTC and it happened quickly, which was a huge suprise. As of right now my cycles have not regulated and I plan on starting to temp on my next cycle. I hope you ladies will have me and teach me all of you wisdom. If I didn't do this right please let me know.

[nemomof2]

Numbers:



Circumstances: TTA



R/R/NSNFQ: I can't think of anything right now. But may edit later



GTKY- What is one goal you have for this month? To get in the habit of cleaning as I go. I let things get really behind so when we have company I am scrabbling to clean and make my house look somewhat presentable.

[Deleted]

nemomof2 Welcome!

penguin129, I'm sorry you're left with more questions than answers and I hope you can get more information soon. Also, congrats on the new home!

teachermomtobe, fingers crossed you can get some answers, too.

TheEleventhHour, I also need to be exercising more, that's a great goal.

amandamh2, my H has a cold right now too and he's such a pain in the ass. I'm sorry you're in the same place.

ourcrazynavylife hopeful you'll have two cycles!

gabride2010 good luck on your TTC journey!

[Deleted]

Numbers:

Circumstances: Hoping to TFAS this year but stubborn husband, bad financials, job shit, and basically everything have that in flux

R/R/NSNFQ: I'm not doing so hot. But to keep in on topic, every time I bring up having another baby my husband either ignores me or brushes me off with vagueness. So that fucking sucks.

GTKY- What is one goal you have for this month? I need to get my emotions under control so I want to push myself to go back to yoga and take the dog on a walk everyday. Today, already, I've failed.

[nemomof2]

penguin129, Hopefully you can get some answers from your Dr on Wednesday about the PID. That is weird that it was never mentioned to you. Congrats on your new house, that is so exciting.
gabride2010, I find that I just feel better when I exercise and I have also heard that it helps your body.
amandamh2, Good luck with your drive and sorry to hear about your Grandma. On another not, man colds are the worst! Sorry you are having to deal with this again.
TheEleventhHour, Hopefully your DS sleeps for you tonight. I would also like to get some data before TTC and get used to the process.
teachermomtobe, Hopefully they can get you figured out. I was dealing with this right after DS was born and it ended up being an ulcer. For the longest time they thought it was my appendix that kept "flaring up" after a round of heavy duty ant-acid I am all healed up and no more pain.
@saiven, Hi! I am sorry you are struggling with getting your DH to talk with you about TFAS. Yoga is a great way to take time for yourself.

[TheEleventhHour]

Hi there nemomof2! Welcome to WTDS.

@saiven Ugh. I am sorry YH keeps brushing you off and giving you vague answers. That sucks so much. I hope he gets it together soon!

[amandamh2]

Welcome to WTDS nemomof2!
Sorry your H isn't willing to talk about it @saiven. Hopefully you two can get on the same page soon.

[thechickencoop]

Numbers: TFAS since 9/2014, TTA for now.

Circumstances: RPL. Pending testing...at some point...

R/R/NSNFQ: So we stopped TTC for at least this cycle, maybe one more. We've been going through some things but are on our way to better days hopefully so I'm just...ah...feeling optimistic. Which is good. I just don't know if we'll give it another cycle or two naturally or jump right back in to rescheduling with the RE....

This probably sounds ridiculous but part of me feels like in the back of my mind I didn't really want to be KU so my negative thoughts were affecting the rest of my body... :/ I know...crazy. But, that's where I am. Now that DH is getting some help with his mental health issues I feel like I have this new hope for my marriage so...ugh. Yea.

GTKY- What is one goal you have for this month? See above. I truly am excited for H to be getting help. I know it will be a long road but I can deal with that as long as he's wiling to put in the work.

[thechickencoop]

penguin129 YAAAY for the good inspection!! And what's up with your chart? Did you see that before or after your appointment? I would have been asking all sorts of questions. Like, when? I would imagine you would remember if you were diagnosed and treated....?


gabride2010, Move your ass over to the TWW thread lady.

teachermomtobe, Holy crap! I hope you get it figured out ASAP! How scary. Could they do any further diagnostics so you're not just waiting around for 2 weeks??

nemomof2, HIIII

@saiven, {{hugs}}
 

[TheEleventhHour]

thechickencoop So glad to hear you are feeling optimistic and that YH is working on getting help and feeling better. Hugs.

[TheEleventhHour]

teachermomtobe I hope they figure out what is going on soon!!! I am sorry you are dealing with that set back.

[gabride2010]

teachermomtobe I hope you feel better soon and that it isn't appendicitis!

Thanks @anandamh2. I'm trying so hard to wait, but I'm starting to want to test early.

penguin129 I'm glad you can TTC. I can't believe your OB didn't tell you about the PID. I hope that was just a mistake or something. I hope you can get some answers ASAP!

Thanks and welcome nemomof2!

Thanks @saiven. I hope your H gets on board soon and everything works out. I'm sure that is crazy frustrating!

thechickencoop You didn't do ANYTHING wrong, and you did not cause your m/c. I'm glad your H is getting help. Please take care of yourself. Giant hugs!

[nemomof2]

thechickencoop so glad to hear YH is getting some help. That is a big step on its own. I know I am new here but I am offering my hugs for your recent m/c and want to say you are in no way responsible.

[thechickencoop]

Thanks guys I'm working on myself and I know, logically, that I didn't cause any of the losses, it's just something that's been going through my head as I've been trying to figure out where my mind is.

[bradysalon]

Numbers: cd 1, 2nd PP cycle



Circumstances: 15 weeks PP, TTA



R/R/NSNFQ: DH is working ridiculous hours this week so I am left to parent, cook dinners, take care of the dog, clean and do laundry all by myself. I'm trying to stay positive tho. If I freak out then it won't help anything, it will just make DS all upset.



GTKY- What is one goal you have for this month? My goal is to stop looking at my phone so much. I'm constantly looking at it and it's such a bad habit and bad model for DS.
