WTDS 2/22

[nuggetrn]

Hi guys.

I have been super MIA from here. I have missed you all All my sorries.

This thread is for those of us who are TTA, experiencing long cycles, breastfeeding and without a PP period, etc... You know the deal. Mobile makes it hard to copy and paste

Numbers:

Circumstances:

RRNSNFQ:

GTKY: Ohio weather has me dreaming of sunshine... What can't you wait to start doing this spring/summer?

[nuggetrn]

Numbers: month 6/ cycle 4 CD28 (somehow forgot this the first time)

Circumstances: TTC, PCOS

RRNSNFQ: Just ever so patiently waiting to move into our new house. It seems to be taking forever and lots of things are just wearing on me. I am mentally and emotionally exhausted.

GTKY: We were going to take a bike ride yesterday but that ended up not happening. It has been around 70 all weekend!! We took the dogs to the dog park. I can't wait for summer. I want to plant a garden, and grill out and sit on the porch in the breeze and the sunshine. I am having lots of feels about moving into the house as warmer weather approaches. We spent so much time outside before and I can't wait to get to enjoy that at the new place.

[Deleted]

Numbers: Month 19/ Cycle 23/ CD 16/ 4 DPO

Circumstances: TTA until the end of March/ beginning of April. Moving to NTNP indefinitely after that.

RRNSNFQ: I get to meet my new GYN today. Not sure how it will go.
It looks like i've been O'ing really early so it's shortening cycles again. Atleast it appears my LPs are staying within the normal range.

GTKY: Ohio weather has me dreaming of sunshine... What can't you wait to start doing this spring/summer? Not live at my MILs.

[ourcrazynavylife]

Numbers: C2/M3/CD29

Circumstances: 13.5 month old, was supposed to TFAS next month

RRNSNFQ: DH & decided to give it a try this cycle due to these longer cycles we most likely weren't going to get a chance in March just April. So there's that and I'm super excited about it even though it wasn't the best timing.

GTKY: Ohio weather has me dreaming of sunshine... What can't you wait to start doing this spring/summer?
I can't wait to take my dd to the beach and get in the pool again. She loves the water so much. I'm looking forward to surfing again.

[ourcrazynavylife]

nuggetrn getting moved into your new house is the best feeling!! It'll be worth it
@wallflwr926 good luck at your appt today! Meeting a new provider always makes me nervous.

[cnf2013]

Numbers: one PP AF so far. Not sure where I'm at right now. I'm a notorious period skipper on HBC.

Circumstances: one 3 month old DD. TTA until the fall when we start TFAS.

RRNSNFQ: Hope you ladies don't mind if I join you here. I need somewhere to twiddle my thumbs until October.

GTKY: Riding my bike and running outside. I'm sick of being in my basement.

[amandamh2]

Numbers: unknown

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

RRNFNSQ: Just waiting on AF to return. I'm definitely ready to be pregnant again but clearly my body is not.

GTKY: Summer is a long way off here but we have had some lovely spring sunshine which is rare for February. I'm enjoying getting to go for long walks again and look forward to planting a garden. This will be the first time I can since we're finally not in apartments!

[doodler]

Numbers: TFAS since July

Circumstances: See siggy

RRNSNFQ: We meet with the OB to discuss RPL testing on Thursday. She already cleared us to start trying again in a few months once we know that my betas aren't going back up, but I really want to discuss some things with her.

GTKY: Ohio weather has me dreaming of sunshine... What can't you wait to start doing this spring/summer? Walks, swimming, cook outs, crab feasts, bonfires.

[JoBub]

Numbers: T-4 months til we start trying

Circumstances: TFAS, but need to get at least one full year of teaching AP Calc under my belt before I take maternity leave. So we're going to shoot for an April-June 2017 due date.

RRNSNFQ: I have to decide like today whether to get another pack of BCP, or just quit now. I'm itching to start temping, but if I go off now, there's a chance I'll have AF on vacation next month, which is just kind of annoying.

GTKY: Ohio weather has me dreaming of sunshine... What can't you wait to start doing this spring/summer?
Soaking up the sun! It's shameful, but I just love to be out in the sun. I always wear sunscreen, but just love the feeling of the sun on my skin. I'll probably regret this at some point in my life.

[teachermomtobe]

nuggetrn, Do you have a general timeline of when you're supposed to be moved in?
@wallflwr926, Hope your appt today went well.
ourcrazynavylife, How exciting that you are TTC!
cnf2013, Welcome, this is a great place to hang out!
doodler, GL with your upcoming appt and getting some answers.

Numbers: CD 10

Circumstances: TTA until April-ish?

RRNSNFQ: I met with a surgeon last week and we decided to remove my appendix on 3/3 so that there is no chance of appendicitis coming back while I'm pregnant. He said I had to ask my RE about it, but he didn't see why I couldn't start TTC the cycle after the appendectomy. Now I'm just TTA and see what my body will do since I'm off the fertility meds that made me O. We shall see.

GTKY: Ohio weather has me dreaming of sunshine... What can't you wait to start doing this spring/summer? Sitting outside (drinking if I'm not KU, just enjoying outside/reading if I *hopefully* am!), taking walks outside, not having to wear a coat everywhere!

[cnf2013]

Good luck with your surgery teachermomtobe!

AP calc! How's teaching that going JoBub? I can't math to save my life. I'm always impressed by math teachers. Maybe because it's so difficult for me that I find it crazy that people can be so good at advanced math.

Good luck with your testing doodler. I hope you get some answers.

amandamh2, what kind of things do you plan to plant?

Good luck this cycled ourcrazynavylife!

I hope your appointment went well today @wallflwr926.

nuggetrn, new house is super exciting! Do you guys have an idea of when you'll get in there?

[JoBub]

cnf2013 right now I'm only teaching the non-AP Calculus class. It's freaking hard. Haha. And we've officially reached the point in the year where seniors stop caring. Which isn't a huge deal in this class, but it's stressing me out thinking about this time next year when I'll still have 2 months before the AP test and have to keep them motivated. And I'll hopefully be KU, which just makes it seem more daunting.

ETA are you a teacher too?

[gabride2010]

Hai nuggetrn! Do y'all have a date to move in yet?

@wallflwr926 How did your appt go? Sorry your cycles are shortening.

ourcrazynavylife Yay for starting to TFAS!

cnf2013 Welcome to WTDS!

amandamh2 What are you going to plant in your garden?

doodler Good luck at your appt on Thursday!

JoBub What did you decide about your BCP?

teachermomtobe Good luck with your surgery!

Numbers: Cycle 2 CD 18

Circumstances: TTC #1

RRNFNSQ: I'm here just chilling. Nothing new to report since last week.

I'm starting to seriously consider getting a referral for an RE at my annual appt in May if my cycles haven't dramatically improved. I just want to need help to get pregnant. I just want to have a normal cycle and ovulate at a normal time. Ok...rant over!

GTKY: I can't wait to go kayaking and camping. I want grilled food, and I can't wait to not have to wear a jacket when I go outside.

I'm trying to recruit some new blood. Come on in @bonzo2012. Come play with us!

[irish14]

Numbers: who the heck knows. First PP AF 6.5 weeks ago.

Circumstances: TFAS, sort of, probably ineffectively bc I'm still b'feeding.

RRNSNFQ: trying to learn the ropes on what I'm doing with all this, and figure out if I want to start charting or something.

GTKY: Ohio weather has me dreaming of sunshine... What can't you wait to start doing this spring/summer? Coffee outside on the deck in the morning while I let the dog out. Eating at restaurants with outdoor patios.

[gabride2010]

irish14 I would highly suggest temping so you can know what it going on with your cycles. I have long cycles (65-68 days), and I would be so lost without my temp to tell me what's going on.

ETA: Welcome to WTDS!

[BabyStandish]

Numbers: n/a

Circumstances: NTNP, waiting for first pp AF, Bf'ing 13.5 month old

RRNSNFQ: My mom is coming into town today! She's here to watch LO while we run a marathon on Sunday!

GTKY: I live in Texas and I sort of hate the summer. It's already pretty much Spring here. BUT that being said I'm looking forward to going to the pool and sipping on margaritas on patios. I'm also dropping down my running to half-marathon training after this race so I'm looking forward to giving my body a rest.

JoBub What did you decide about your BCP?

Well... I didn't refill my pack yesterday. I guess I have until the end of the placebo week to change my mind, but I'm thinking I'm going to sign up for FF and get ready to start temping when CD1 hits.

ETA: Welcome to WTDS!

Thanks!

Yeah I need to go get a thermometer and start that. I used to go anywhere from 30-60 days before I started BCP so I imagine it would be helpful to know what the heck is going on... So I think I fit in WTDS for more than one reason!!

BabyStandish how often do you BF? My guy is teething so BFing more in the past couple weeks, I wonder if the additional nursing has re-stopped my O. For me it's this tug of war between not being done BF'ing and wanting another

EDIT spelling is harrrrrd

I'm right there with you. I love bfing, but also want my cycles to return. He nurses about 7x a day and that's with me saying "not right now a lot"

Yep yep. We're a little less, 3-4x/day, but I think I'd have to repeatedly bribe him with cookies or something if I did want to wean... kid looooves the boob.

LOL cookies wouldn't work for my LO. Maybe ice cream though. I'm sure his doctor would be thrilled

[Deleted]

Thanks for the tag gabride2010! I'll come play over here!

Numbers: month 2, cycle 3, CD19

Circumstances: got off BCP at the end of December, still using condoms and temping to avoid until DH finishes his graduate program this spring.

There's a series of letters in here that I don't know what it stands for, so can't answer that part...

GTKY: I'm looking forward to planting our garden and getting chickens! And not needing to bundle up when we leave the house.

[gabride2010]

Glad to see you here @bonzo2012!

The letters RRNFNSQ stand for Rants, Raves, No Flame No Shame Questions.

[nuggetrn]

@wallflwr926, I hope your new OB was wonderful. Sorry forever that your cycles suck.

ourcrazynavylife, Congrats that you guys are going to start trying!! Good luck!

cnf2013, Welcome to WTDS!

amandamh2, YAY for garden planting!! That is one thing I am very much looking forward to. I have already resigned myself to having potted plants this year though because of the move and all of the other projects we'll be working on. My best tomatoes have been grown in pots though, so I'm ok with that. What will you guys be planting?

doodler, So many hugs that you find yourself here. I hope you get some answers today, and soon (since bloodwork will take a minute).

teachermomtobe, The plan to take your appendix out now rather than risk something happening during pregnancy seems wise to me! Hopefully your surgery goes well!!

irish14, Welcome to WTDS!! I would definitely start temping now so you can get in the hang of it and just so you can get an idea of what your body is doing. Especially since you are breastfeeding and really don't know when anything is going to start happening.

BabyStandish, Oops, I guess not everyone is excited about summer as I am! Can't say that I entirely blame you though! Your summer plans do sound rather nice though

@bonzo2012, Welcome!! What kind of chickens are you guys going to get? Also... chicks, or chickens? I have helped my mom and stepdad with their chicks the last couple of years, and they are getting ready to order their 3rd batch in May.

This is exactly why I refused to take AP Calc my senior year. It did not pertain to my life and I knew I would be miserable and not caring by the end of the year, therefore tanking my grade and my GPA. And then I'd end up paying for a test I would have inevitably failed. Thank you, junior year me

Bless you for being a math teacher.

[nuggetrn]

cnf2013,teachermomtobe,gabride2010,

Thanks for asking about the house!

I *think* we will get to move in at the end of March. We have a meeting scheduled at the bank on March 10th to do some final paperwork and something else is happening on the 18th? Lol, I can't remember what.

Needless to say it is coming SO SO soon!! The fact that they are even giving us dates right now is HUGE!

The kitchen cabinets have been installed, we are waiting on our granite still. But the paint is almost all done. They did the first coat of paint on the trim yesterday. I imagine we'll get one more coat and then they will put the final coat of paint on all of the walls. As soon as paint is done the electricians will hang all of the lights. Apparently they have already installed all of the outlets, and the hung our outside lights. Which look SO good! I love all of the choices we have made so far

This got a lot longer than I thought it would be, but there is just so much going on right now and I am excited!!

[Deleted]

gabride2010 - Same old, same old. I can have a RE referral whenever I want. I won't be doing it anytime soon due MH being opposed to treatments. He wants me to get better, but doesn't understand what I actually might need.

[Deleted]

nuggetrn, we're planning on getting sexed chicks at our local feed store. We're going to get 2 this year -- a Buff Orpington and a Wyandotte. We did a lot of research on breeds that do well in our climate, especially in backyard coops, and that are gentle and fun to interact with.

[ourcrazynavylife]

Ugh. Frustration. I thought I could go to TWW yesterday but nope nope. FF took away my crosshairs again. This is like the third time I've had them and they stay for a few days then disappear.

[gabride2010]

I'm sorry @wallflwr926. Big hugs for you. I hope your H gets on board soon.

Sorry about your confusing cycle ourcrazynavylife. I hope you O soon!

I want some chickens too @bonzo2012! I am jealous of your chickens.

nuggetrn I can't believe you are getting SO close to moving in. That is so exciting!
