TTC #1 Hopeful and Obsessed! lol

[greenarcher]

I'm so glad to hear you're trying again! Welcome back dear!

 

[Illa]

Puma, Thank you for the welcome and welcome back. Sending you tons and tons of babydust this cycle.

 

[puma1986]

Thanks you two! Have you guys been otherwise?

 

[BelleNuit]

Puma you have been missed! Welcome back! I'm so happy to hear that you are back trying again!
Thanks for understanding where I was coming from with my mother!

Green thanks for encouraging me to look at it on the bright side. I don't have a good relationship with my mother so I tend to have a negative attribution bias with her

Mnelson I actually ended up going back and deleting everyone I added to Facebook on here (sorry dears I still love you all!). I felt like when people knew who I was in my real life I wasn't able to be as open on here as I wanted to be. I wasn't able to get the support I needed and "be known" at the same time.

 

[greenarcher]

Tested yesterday night (10 DPO) and nothing to be seen. No spotting yet, but I'm sure it will start. All well, that just means I get to REALLY enjoy thanksgiving

 

[BelleNuit]

Sorry about the BFN Green, but glad that you have a holiday to curb any of those sad feelings! Enjoy it!!

 

[OhHappyZ]

Nope. I'm out. On to month 7. This sorely sucks you guys. Sorry I don't reach out to you more and support you more, I'm just in a tough place right now. Everything in my body is telling me that I need a child, and yet I have never even had the opportunity.

This month I'm going in with a vengeance and I'm going to my dr and DH is getting a SA. I need to know what the hell is wrong and how we can possibly fix it.

 

[BelleNuit]

Z I'm sorry to hear you're on to another month to try. Very likely there will be nothing wrong with your testing and they'll just tell you you're unexplained. But if testing will put your mind at ease then go for it!

 

[BelleNuit]

So went for acupuncture today and she suggested chinese herbs, so im giving that a go this cycle since i'm not doing femara. I figure I'll do the Chinese medicine thing for the next 3 cycles and see how it goes. After that I'll switch to femara for 3 cycles and then look at IUI

 

[greenarcher]

Sorry to hear happy, I hope you get some answers. Maybe OH just needs to get on some vitamins.

What kind of chinese herbs are you trying?

 

[BelleNuit]

DH is taking vitamins, but the acupuncturist suggested that he start co-q10 as well, so we'll get him on that too.

The herbs they have me on are in pill form and are a combination of 10 different herbs. They're called "Ease Pearls" It looks a little hokey when you read about it, but I'll give just about anything a try at this point

 

[greenarcher]

I get that feeling. Let me know if you feel like they're making a difference.

I think we're going to go back to NTNP until DH agrees to go to the doctor and get his prostate checked out, which he says he won't do until he gets a job.

His New York interview is this Thursday/Friday. I am nervous and excited for him. I have no idea what to expect and no idea how I feel about moving to new york (still)

 

[sil]

Green, what part of New York would you be going to? DH and I spent 4 years living in New York City. It is hectic and busy but there is also a lot to do to keep the mind occupied. Tons of museums and places to walk and discover. It's always tough leaving friends behind for a move though.

 

[BelleNuit]

NTNP sounds like a good plan for the mean time Green, at least he's open to that!

I can't imagine how you must be feeling contemplating a big move like that! I've never moved to another province!

 

[greenarcher]

I've never made a move like this either. It would be new york city where he'd be working, so we'd move somewhere probably close nearby. It's great to hear there's a lot to do, but I would definitely miss my friends. Where did yall live, Sil? Where would you recommend living? If we ended up having kids there, where should we live?

Also - 13DPO or so. No symptoms. Haven't tested since 10 DPO in the PM. Don't plan to. Expecting AF tomorrow or Wednesday. No spotting yet, but I've not spotted at all once or twice before, so I have no hopes up.

 

[sil]

Green, you have a lot of choices by nyc and really it depends on your preferences and income. If you were to live in the city, Brooklyn is probably most kid friendly with a lot of little family oriented neighborhoods and houses with yards. There is always Manhattan where there is a ton to do (and where we lived before we started our family). It's very expensive and very small apartments. DH and I could not fit a queen bed in our bedroom without blocking the closet door off. If you were thinking suburbs, nj is way more cost effective than ny. West Chester county in New York is beautiful with great schools etc but extremely expensive. There are a ton of towns in nj with great fast reliable transportation to Nyc. There are definitely a lot of options to consider and places you can look if it does work out that way. I currently live in Connecticut about 1.5-2 hours from NYC now. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help or any more info I can pass along. I'm hoping the two of you are able to get what you want most (stay vs move). I know first hand how tough the decision to move can be. Big hugs

 

[greenarcher]

Omg thank you for all the info! I will definitely come back and ask more questions if his interview goes well!

I tested this morning (14 DPO) and bfn. Only reason I tested is because I'm still not spotting. I had horrid cramps for a while last night (after bd), so I'm sure she's coming.

I better not have another month where my LP is an extra week long...

 

[sil]

Sorry for the bfn green it must be awful to get your hopes up with no spotting and see a bfn. I have everything crossed for you that af stays away

 

[greenarcher]

The tiniest bit of spotting this afternoon. I imagine af will be here tomorrow.

In other news Trump is going to be the president, and I'm greatly concerned.

 

[BelleNuit]

Green Canadians watch the US election pretty closely and I'm very concerned too! Maybe you could convince your DH to apply for a job up here? Lol

Sorry to hear about the spotting hun, that blows
