TTC #1- Looking for buddies!

[tbfromlv]

Dream- we are def cycle buddies this time! I am not 100% convinced I'm 3dpo but again, i definitely O'd and we definitely Bd enough lol so in the end, it won't matter FX'd for both of us!

 

[steph1607]

So we have two people in the TWW right?

 

[tbfromlv]

Yep! And hopefully Sunny will be joining us any day now! Any signs of O Sunny?

CT- what's going on with you?

 

[SunnyBe]

Yay for crosshairs Tb and Dream

I'm still waiting to O and am really happy that my body was able to hold out for a while so I won't be on my period for my appointment with the doc next week! Now hurry the hell up body, I want to O

Steph, I've read that doing IVF abroad most clinics have you come in for about 10 days. It'll probably also have to do with the IVF protocol you'll be following.

Amber, ahh researching original ways to tell your family is so much better than reading up on TTC stuff. I can't wait to hear what you have planned and how they react. Are you planning to tell them after your first appointment?

 

[Dream143r]

Sunny - Happy the O held off for you!

 

[tbfromlv]

Amber- I cant wait to hear what you decide to do. I look at that stuff on Pinterest now and then..lol

Sunny- I am glad it held out for you. Any signs of it coming?

Steph- I'll have to go catch up on your journal! When will you know if you qualify for the egg share?

I only got to be in this tww 2 other times- tips on not obsessing?? lol

 

[Dream143r]

tb - I wish I had some tips for you. I am jittery already. I'm def a bad influence.

 

[tbfromlv]

Haha! I think the hardest part is I am a teacher and I have been on summer break.. so I don't have a lot that occupies my mind lately!

 

[Dream143r]

Gardening? lol

That's what I plan to do tomorrow night.

Tonight I'm going to go visit my gramma. She has dementia but still remembers people and faces.

 

[tbfromlv]

Haha well, one its ridiculously hot here and we can't seem to get any rain! and two, we just sold our house Friday, so we have been house hunting. Not a lot on the market in terms of what we want, but we found one we like! That's my only distraction
What kinds of plants do you have/want in your garden?

 

[steph1607]

Ah okay, thanks Sunny 😊

TB, hopefully I will hear from them in a few days about a next appointment. I imagine with consultations, bloods, counselling etc. it could be a good couple of months.

As for distracting yourself during the TWW, I am clueless! Maybe aim for a new squat PB?

 

[SunnyBe]

Congrats on the house sale TB! What will you do for housing in the meantime? No signs of O yet except for feeling a bit jittery.

Dream, ah it's nice that you'll be able to spend some time with your grandma. Wish I still had mine!

As far as distractions, hmmm that's a tough one! Way too hot, humid and rainy for summertime gardening over here, that's more of a winter thing. I'm trying to convince DH to help me DIY a Crate & Barrel knockoff dining table (retailing at $1,999.00, no thanks). It'll be quite the project and will probably take a bit longer than my TWW but hopefully worth it.

This is what I would like to end up with

But it'll probably end up like one of those typical "nailed it" situations like this lol

 

[steph1607]

Sunny that looks awesome, I have faith in your ability!

Wish it was too hot to garden over here, our short lived heatwave seems to have deserted us sadly.

 

[Dream143r]

That table is gorge.

I love Crate and Barrel but totally just window shop there for decor and design ideas. Way too pricey.

 

[tbfromlv]

Steph- I can understand that. I have a feeling things are just going to fall into place for you though!

Sunny- Is your DH pretty handy? I say TOTALLY go for that table! I love DIY stuff and my DH can build ANYTHING so I am lucky I have a partner for that!
As for housing, we don't close until August 31 so if I can find a house soon, then we can probably get closing at the same time, and maybe just need to crash somewhere for a night or 2. We found one we like, I am just iffy on one thing, that actually might just turn into a DIY slight home add-on lol

Steph- that might be a while lol! Not squatting for two weeks during my recovery, i lost some strength so I am still building that back up. It is so frustrating! I am about at where I was pre-surgery though! I was kind of surprised I lost as much strength as I did!
I guess between house hunting and me starting preparations for the new school year, that can be a good distraction!

 

[CTgirl]

Wow guys, there is so much exciting news here – positive OPKs, TWW, new houses. It took me a while to catch up!

TB, the package should arrive by next Friday, although the tracking number says it's left the carrier facility and is in transit, so I'm hoping it will arrive sooner as my fertile days are coming up before and including the 4th.

I've started charting my BBT. How do you add it to your profile? Would love to share it with you guys and get some insight as it's the first time I'm doing this and not entirely sure how it all works.

So excited for you all! Can't wait to hear about your appointment Amber! Steph, this is sounding quite positive. A very expensive process but it will all be worth it in the end I'm sure!

 

[CTgirl]

Managed to figure out how to add my chart... yay!

 

[steph1607]

Ah cute little chart CT! Took me forever to work out how to add mine and then I stopped using it after a few weeks because it's pointless for me anyway!

I'm no expert, but I am okay at interpreting these things sometimes! The other girls are much better though.

TB isn't it annoying how long it takes you to build up strength, and how little time it takes for it go! My old sprints coach text me last week to tell me he's starting up sessions on the track again and would I like to go? Would I?!?! So excited for that tomorrow night. I haven't been for a few years and have definitely got much better glute, quad and ham strength in that time so will be interesting to see how it goes. He said he's hoping to put some teams out to compete indoors at 60m over the winter. Even if I was fast enough, I am of course hoping that I won't be able to do anything toooo strenuous soon enough

 

[tbfromlv]

CT yay for opks coming and your chart! Even if you don't get the opks in time, you should at least be able to confirm O now that you're charting!

Steph- it is SUPER annoying! But like you said, hopefully I won't be too worried about how much weight I'm lifting soon! I would LOVE to get into something like that. Too bad we don't live close to each other lol!

AFM, took prometrium last night.. so far I don't feel many side effects.. FX'd. FF tried to change my O date to Saturday but then changed it back to Thursday... but I think it's Friday ha. So we will just say I'm 3-5 dpo! Ha

 

[steph1607]

I know!! I feel like we would be great workout buddies! Let me know if you ever decide to move Eastwards

Do you have a date set for when you might test? That goes for anyone in the TWW really!
