WTDS 2/29

[nuggetrn]

It's Leap Day!!

And look at me lazily starting WTDS on mobile again

This is a weekly thread for those of us waiting ever so patiently (haha). Whatever you may be waiting for, please come play here. TTA, Waiting for a PP period/breastfeeding, long/irregular cycles, etc...

Numbers:
Circumstances:
RRNSNFQ:
GTKY: What is your favorite storage solution? Pictures welcome.

[nuggetrn]

Numbers: Month 6/Cycle 4 CD33/5 DPO??

Circumstances: TTC, PCOS

RRNSNFQ: FF gave me crosshairs. But my chart looks like complete and total crap because there are so many missing temps. I am guessing they will go away. I don't really believe that I O'd. Plus if I did I have zero timing and I don't really want that.

GTKY: I have to think about this because all of my stuff is currently thrown every where and in like 8 different places. I may have had ulterior motives when creating this GTKY

[ourcrazynavylife]

Hi, I'm hanging out over in TWW but I wanted to stop in here and see what's up.
nuggetrn I like baskets. I have tons of different types on my shelves that I put different stuff in. Also the photo boxes from michaels are great for knick knacks.

ETA: I obviously can't read.

[diamondsndaisies]

Numbers: Cycle 3 AL / CD 21
Circumstances: on the bench, on blood thinners until may

RRNSNFQ: I went and saw a new dr (same office) last wednesday and spoke with him about everything and he didn't think I needed to wait until fall to start trying again, so we are back to the original time frame of May. So that was pretty exciting.

GTKY: What is your favorite storage solution? Pictures welcome. I like to use baskets and pull out drawers.

[nuggetrn]

Woo woo diamondsndaisies!!

Did your incision ever heal up nicely? I am really hoping your answer is yes!!

[amandamh2]

Numbers: unknown

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

RRNSNFQ: Mentioned this in 2/22 thread last night, but I had to step away last week since TTC was really frustrating me. I decided to start working out and running more again to help take my mind off of it a bit more which is helping so far. I was really busy before TTC my first baby so I didn't have much time to think about it but since I'm a SAHM now parenting is my life and without other things to focus on I've been obsessing.

GTKY: Throw it in a closet and hope for the best? I'm really bad at storage/home organization.

[doodler]

nuggetrn I hope you are right and you aren't stuck with crappy timing!
diamondsndaisies congrats on the news!
amandamh2 it's so easy to become obsessed over TTC. I hope that staying more active helps.

Numbers: Started TFAS 8 months ago
Circumstances: See loss history in siggy
RRNSNFQ: Good news- HCG is down to <2. After two more blood draws with low numbers we will be cleared to TTC. Bad news- The doctor doesn't want to do any additional testing. I have all the feelings about this. It's good that she thinks that my losses so far have been fluke and is optimistic for my next pregnancy. However, I would really rather do everything in my power to try to make sure this doesn't happen again. I feel very powerless and scared, ya know? I guess that could really describe quite a few people who are actively TTC though.
GTKY: What is your favorite storage solution? Pictures welcome. I'm awful at organization. Maybe I can take inspiration from someone here

[Deleted]

Numbers: none
Circumstances: literally waiting to do something, anything - I want to TFAS, H isn't ready
RRNSNFQ: Nothing to add this week other than that toddlers are hard and make me second guess wanting another baby. That and depression is kicking my ass.
GTKY: Storage? What's that? Literally my storage solution is having a giant basement and filling it with shit.

[Deleted]

nuggetrn I will share that I do have a storage ottoman and I'm a huge fan. It's furniture AND storage!

diamondsndaisies I'm glad you're back on the original time-line!

amandamh2 TTC is such a mindfuck whether it's easy or hard, intentional or not. We all understand and take all the time you need.

doodler hugs. I understand that powerless feeling, and you just want answers! If it would help your peace of mind, you can always push for the testing.

[BabyStandish]

amandamh2 I'm right there with you. I'm sorry your body isn't ready yet. It'll get there though. I've been having to avoid GKU a lot more lately too. I want to get more involved, but it's very hard to not get frustrated. YAY for working on you though!

[BabyStandish]

Numbers: n/a
Circumstances: NTNP, no AF due to BF'ing
RRNSNFQ: Dh and I got a terrible stomach bug on Saturday. Diarrhea, vomiting, fever, entire body aches. So it's safe to say that we did not run our marathon on Sunday We are pretty disappointed, but there will always be more races. DH is signing up for another one in April but I'm going to stick to half-marathons until my period comes back. I'm hoping that it'll help jump start it.
GTKY: What is your favorite storage solution? Pictures welcome. Plastic storage bins and baskets. I'm not the most organized person, but I love me some plastic bins!!

[BabyStandish]

@saiven I'm sorry you're going through a rough patch right now. HUGS.
diamondsndaisies that's great news!
doodler I agree that you can always push for more testing for a better peace of mind. Hugs.
nuggetrn you can always go to container store for ideas for storage. I love that place.

[Deleted]

BabyStandish bummer about your race but I'm glad you're feeling better.

YES! It is completely healed finally
I ended up getting sick with strep throat a few weeks ago and they put me on antibiotics. My incision magically started healing! 

Not infected my ass......I am no longer seeing that doctor.

Ugh. That seriously irritates me!! Even I knew it was infected!! I am so glad it is healed now though. Definitely find a new doctor please

[nuggetrn]

You people are killing me with your unorganized organization.

Not helpful!!!

[Deleted]

Numbers: Lots. Creeping up cycle 24
Circumstances: TTA until April for FMLA. Then NTNP indefinitely.
RRNSNFQ: I am having the worst PMS swelling i've ever experienced. I purchased new bras yesterday and today I can barely fit in them. WTF!
GTKY: What is your favorite storage solution? Pictures welcome.
Does under the bed and in drawers count?

[Deleted]

Numbers: cycle 4/month 7; cd 42/wto

Circumstances: long irregular cycles due to hypothyroid and suspected pcos

RRNSNFQ: I stopped posting here because my cycles seemed to be getting more regular, but now they are getting even longer. Ugg!

GTKY: What is your favorite storage solution? Pictures welcome.

I love the drawer liners for the silverware/knife drawers in the kitchen. The ones I have can be trimmed to fit the drawer, and you don't lose anything down the side.

I'm also loving the mini 3 drawer plastic drawer thing I got at the dollar store for all of my jamberry stuff. One drawer for tools, one for wraps, and the bottom one for the mini heater.

[cnf2013]

Hi guys!

Not sure, n/a

TTA

My body is fighting against birth control. Just stop spotting, you jerk. Rave though; our union and district finally negotiated a new contract and it includes lots of raises and no increase to our health care costs. We vote next week and I really hope it passes!

We're terrible at storage. We have a basement and attic full of crap. Plus we have lots of baskets but the end up just being junk receptacles.

Sorry about your marathon BabyStandish. Missing races always makes me feel sad.

[JustJudy]

P&R for now. But I'll be back to tag.

I'm now 7 days late. My RE had me do a blood test on Friday but since immaculate conception isn't actually a thing it was obviously negative. WTF body we need to have a serious discussion. I've never been this late in my life and I'm pissed. I'm supposed to start my injectable cycle this time.

QOTW: Elfa drawers from the Container Store are one of my favorite things.

[mosdub]

Thought I'd pop in this week after the love from TheEleventhHour and gabride2010

Circumstances: Monitoring hCG following a partial molar pregnancy from April 2015. My levels reached <1 last week so that's good! Technically I've been "negative" (under 5) since Halloween but it's still nice to see that it has gone down to basically 0. Doc wants us to wait until July before TTC and I don't think its necessary but I'm playing along since I don't really know if I'm ready for sure to ttc yet anyway.

RRNSNFQ: I've been slowly having more baby fever and excitement about a new pregnancy. Not ready to ttc yet but it feels good to be coming around I'm on the fitness train right now. Trying to work out at least 2x a week and monitoring calories. So far I'm doing well! I can't see a difference on the scale but my pants fit better!

GTKY: What is your favorite storage solution? Pictures welcome. I can't take credit because it was already in the house when we bought it, but a drawer like this:

[bradysalon]

Numbers: CD6... 18.5 weeks PP
Circumstances: TTA
RRNSNFQ: DH and I decided we would start TTC when DS is closer to 2. This weekend DH informed me that he wants to start earlier. This summer!! I'm not sure I am ready for that yet. But we aren't getting any younger and who knows how long it will take.
GTKY: no storage solutions. It's a cluster fuck in my house. I should take notes.

[mosdub]

doodler I'm so sorry for your loss. I also had a triploidy baby with a partial mole. I'm glad your hCG has gone to negative quickly on its own. I understand why you would want testing and think its worth pressing for, even for peace of mind. Thinking of you.

[amandamh2]

Sorry for the chart mess nuggetrn
Yay for being cleared a few months earlier diamondsndaisies!
Sorry for your losses doodler. TTC is a hard process at the best of times but I can only imagine it feeling that much harder.
Hugs for your rough week @saiven.
Thanks BabyStandish, and totally with you on the similar situations. Get with the program body!
WTF to the crazy swelling @wallflwr926, hope it doesn't last
Hope your cycles don't get longer again @sparky85.
Ugh birth control is a jerk sometimes cnf2013.
Hope the weird cycle fixes itself JustJudy.
Yay for the fitness improvements mosdub, that's awesome! Thanks for the support on my post yesterday too
Hopefully you and YH can make a TTC decision you're both comfortable with bradysalon.

[Deleted]

JustJudy hoping your body gets with the program soon.

I aim to please. I went to the container store yesterday. It was awesome.

[cnf2013]

Sorry about your chart nuggetrn. Hopefully it starts to make more sense soon and you get some clarity on it.

Congrats on the updated time frame diamondsndaisies!

We're big "stuff it in a closet" people too amandamh2. We even gutted and reorganized all the closets in our house over the summer and somehow they're all still a hot mess. But closets do have doors for a reason I guess

doodler, have you discussed your concerns with you doctor at all? I don't blame you for wanting to pursue some testing and if you're having those kinds of feelings you should speak up. It's your feelings on the line, not the doctor's. Big hug.

Boo to depression @saiven. I've dealt with that on and off for years and am currently attempting to wean off meds. I hope you can get whatever it is you need to feel better. Hugs coming your way.

Sorry about your PMS @wallflwr926. Do you boobs at least look all clevagey and hot in your bras now? As a permanent member of the itty bitty club, I wish I had that problem with bras!

Link to trimmable drawer organizers @sparky85? We just redid our kitchen and I don't have any drawer organizers except for the silvervware drawer and they're all a hot mess.

JustJudy, container store? These are real places? I really love all sorts of organization tools, I'm just insanely bad at utilizing them.

Yay about your HGC levels mosdub! I've been watching you siggy from afar and rooting for your numbers to go down. That's super exciting and I hope come July you're feeling where you needto be to be comfortable TTC again.

Yay for a quicker TFAS turn around bradysalon!

[Deleted]

cnf2013 the drawer liners are made by knape and vogt, and you can get them at home depot. Here is a link to one style www.homedepot.com/p/Knape-Vogt-15-in-18-in-Tableware-Drawer-Organizer-in-White-TW-1517-R-W/202808818

They make them for spice jars, tableware and utility drawers too.

[gabride2010]

Thanks for starting nuggetrn! I'm sorry your chart looks bad. I hope you didn't ovulate quite yet so y'all can get some good timing in!

ourcrazynavylife GL this TWW! I hope this is it for you!

diamondsndaisies Yay for getting to TTC a few months earlier! I'm glad your incision finally healed.

amandamh2 More hugs for you!

doodler I'm glad your HCG is les than 2. Sorry your doc doesn't want to do any more testing. That must be so frustrating!

@saiven I hope your H comes around soon!

BabyStandish I hope y'all are feeling better!

@wallflwr926 Holy boobs! I hope the swelling goes down soon.

@sparky85 I'm sorry your cycles are lengthening. I hope they regulate soon!

cnf2013 I hope you stop spotting soon. Yay for a raise!!

JustJudy I'm sorry your body isn't cooperating.

mosdub I'm glad you're getting excited about a new pregnancy! I'm glad to see that you are doing ok!

bradysalon Yay for TTC again this summer! That is so exciting.

Numbers: Cycle 2 CD 25

Circumstances: TTC #1

RRNFNSQ: Nothing much...I'm still WTO. I'm almost halfway to my precious/predicted ovulation date, so I'm happy about that.

H and I will be going home to visit family and friends during my FW. We are going to have to sneak some sex in so we have a chance this cycle.

GTKY: I'm no help. I think I have exactly zero organization skills.
