Hi ladies, I hope you are all well; it has been quite sometime since I last posted, sorry! I am trying to catch up on the latest posts but haven't been able to quite yet as I am at work. I hope everyone is having a good summer so far, we have been traveling and keeping quite busy. Preparing for a garage sale this weekend…

Hi ladies, can you believe it is already heading towards the end of May? Hopefully everyone is starting to get some nicer weather, I know Michigan finally is (with exception of so much rain lately, but the sun has been shining and temps have warmed up!). Sounds like everyone has lots going on, @VeryKatie good luck w/house…

So; CD1 is here. Called my OBGYN office; before they will start Clomid Round 2, my doctor wants to do a Hystosonogram to check out that Uterine Polyp she noted on my follicle study -- first available cancellation appointment is June 25th. And then id start up for Clomid round 2 middle July. Needless to say; I am feeling a…

Hi ladies, thanks for checking in/responding. @WifiresGettingFit Today I am much better; I think it was an acute feeling of just being overwhelmed/disappointed at the same time. We both have accepted that this may not be the cycle, and that is ok too; I know it wasn't a waste and we are ready for AF to roll up on us…

Hey ladies, Long update for you.... Sorry I haven't updated I know I said I would. So 1st round of Clomid completed; had my trigger injection & Follicle study done as well last Friday. For the most part the US/Follicle study went well; she said only one thing for us to note was a possible polyp; but for now didn't think we…

Update: DAY 1 is here; took my Clomid this morning- feeling hopeful, sun is shining, feeling happy. Doctor did call yesterday and suggested I pick up an RX she called in for Pregnyl - essentially an HCG shot. It will be all out pocket bc my insurance doesn't cover any fertility meds; however, I was able to swing my Clomid…

Hi Ladies, How are you all doing? It has been a whirlwind of a week or two over here; mostly positive though! Our family room remodel ( RIP "mancave" LOL) is going well and it is finally starting to take shape, EEK! So excited. The whole remodeling process ( S/o to @Alioth I hear you about the mess driving you crazy) can…

Thanks for the support ladies, I appreciate it! @Kirstie155 I am glad that your new RE recently as well; I know the delays must seem disappointing & frustrating, we are all here if you need to vent! (Hugs). @Alioth- I am SO glad that meds are done too, I cannot even begin to describe how it feels to be "normal" again (or…

Hi Ladies, It's been a while, I have been popping in here and there to read a few bits & pieces of posts but couldn't really muster anything up to post. After my last post a few weeks ago, things kind of spiraled down fast. Unfortunately, now looking back, I think I had some pretty bad side effects to a new medicine I am…

Hey all, just checking in. How is everyone doing? I read everyone's updates but I am having trouble for some reason going back and forth to read them without losing my comment so I can make a note to each person, but I did catch up. Here's a long winded, I just need to get this off of my chest update on meee..... it has…

@WifiresGettingFit I Do indeed meal prep, it is my Sunday tradition (Typically), lol I think going to Mexico and having so many plans lately, as well as having a construction crew in our house has just thrown things out of routine which just gives me an excuse not too! I did take a few hours yesterday though as I had a day…

@pezhed Wishing your hubby luck at his interview- sorry its been such a rough go about with work, stress at work can trickle down and make life just suck. Also, LOL @ the OV - sorry, I slipped work medical terms in there, ( I work for social security and read/evaluate medical records all day long) so its just common nature…

@girlalmighty08 - I have these same fears, selfishly, it sometimes pops into my head that maybe being TTC right now isn't the best for me (but that goes away too). I too, have struggled with weight my entire life. As a young girl/teen and into my early twenties I was considered obese/borderline morbid obese. I've…

I was just given my RX for this yesterday, pending pre-auth from insurance and hopefully by end of week will hear back about cost/approval/co-pay etc. I do have the savings card that hopefully I can take advantage of depending on my coverage. I have been on the fence about taking something as well, but finally after…

Hi ladies, Happy Monday, 2nd full week of February already! @SheilAnneSmith what a hectic situation, hopefully you can get some downtime/relax/recover time! Sorry it was such a mess, but sounds like you handled it best you could. @girlalmighty08 , I totally understand the stress of construction/lack of ability to cook etc.…

Hi all, back from Mexico! It was much needed. My AF/TOM was scheduled to start on the 3rd my Bday, and a piece of me was hoping it wouldn't come....however, came Wednesday morning early on our way to Mexico, so, even though I was disappointed at least it was right at the beginning & I was able to enjoy my trip w/o worry of…

Congrats lady! What an exciting time!!! Sounds like you have a good plan for TTC, this will give you a chance to get settled in to your new place, get some things done you want! Enjoy the experience this weekend!

I am just over the moon about my 25 day streak, log in with MFP. I think this is a personal record for me! Doesn't sound like much, but this means every day, even on the weekends I took time to at least open my app to keep myself accountable! I've avoided low carb sweet treats, but mainly bc we decided to change our WOE,…

@girlalmighty08 I am glad you don't feel alone; it can def be something that weighs on your mind bc of course, you if you are TTC you are hoping for a happy, healthy journey, and would never put yourself in a position to otherwise cause harm to self/future baby. But, maybe this sounds foolish, I think at some point you…

@Kirstie155 - I just wanted to send you so much love right now. Hugs lady, were always here to listen if you need it.

You know to be real honest, This will be the 3rd trip out of the county we've taken since TTC. Its always in the back of my mind, but, we also decided that we couldnt put our life on hold while TTC; that was making us (mainly me) focus on the fact we WERENT getting pregnant, but still not living our normal life. My OB of…

Hi Ladies, week 3 of January already in progress- I Seriously cant even believe how time flies sometimes! How are you all doing? My mini vacation to MN was C O L D (high temps for the day were around -7, BRR) But, we had a fabulous time, we ate & drank our way through the city and the scale proved it (gained those 5# I…

@WifiresGettingFit so far I have hit 2/4 of my goals for the week (caved & weighed in every day instead of just Wednesdays) and haven't added an extra day into my workouts yet. DOH. It will happen, probably making excuses but have been very busy. I will get a workout in tomorrow but then am gone until late sunday, though…

2nd week of January Ladies- How are we all doing? I am dreadfully just waiting for AF to arrive, supposed to start tomorrow, and I am having L sided cramps and some spotting- so its inevitable. AGH. That is how I feel. I am going to focus on the fact we have fun plans to visit my SIL this weekend and then only a few…

@WifiresGettingFit I hear you about the negative temps & water main breaks. Michigan Here and it has been beyond cold this week! Our city actually sent out a notice to keep a small stream of water running from now until APRIL bc of all of the problems (several major businesses in town have had issues w/pipes freezing,…

Just thought id drop in and say hi- how is everyone doing? Its been a bit quiet the past few days ( I know holidays are def a busy time of the year!). @Kirstie155 I am rooting for the next 3 months to be a smooth transition, even though you weren't really active smokers it stinks you have to wait for that time frame -but…

I would def check with your doctor first, I have read before that if you were active beforehand there is no need to decrease that, but again, that was probably in some magazine and I have zero references to support that. My friend was an avid long distance runner and also did some significant lifting, she did a majority of…

Hi Ladies, I am looking forward to January as a fresh start as well. My goals are going to be short term for now, I have long term goals, but for me, smaller portions of time I think will be easier to attain. For the next 30 days I hope to accomplish: 1) Log into MFP daily, ideally that would mean diary/log food daily, but…

@puffbrat I agree with everyone else, please stay! It is nice to see a different perspective, sometimes when you are feeling down about TTC, and you see someone walking through the other side of the journey, it can give hope & a different point of view that is sometimes hard to see otherwise!

The aftermath - check in! How was Christmas for everyone? I grazed all day, which basically was worse than eating a large meal. I woke up this morning and felt like I had a hangover from eating & sleeping in excess this past 5 days. I will say though, I really enjoyed myself, spent time with family, had some alone time…
