TTC Check-In June 24

[dlandkk808]

Anne - I'm thinking about you and hoping you're doing okay. Do you think it might be a low progesterone issue? I heard of many women go through multiple miscarriages and then find out they just needed to supplement with more progesterone to keep the pregnancy. I'm glad DH is home with you to go through this with you. My thoughts and prayers go out to you both.

Melanie - Yay, for only a few more days! When do you actually start your new job? Great job on the 12K! Oooh, a half marathon, you go girl!

Morris - Hope the visit with the in-laws are going well. I know what you mean about your normal routine being out of whack with guest in town. We have a ton of guests here this weekend and for the next few days. I'm trying not to let it all stress me out.

Autumn - Hope to see you post more often. Hope all is well.

I got four days worth of workouts in despite the slow start. I have been running a lot and loving it. Although yesterday while I was running, I could feel my left knee starting to act up so I had to slow it down a bit and jog at a slower pace. I'm on my 2ww right now. I ovulated early this month so I'm happy about that. We'll see in about a week if anything happened!

Have a great Sunday ladies!

lisa, my fingers are crossed for you! all your guests gone yet?

anne, i am so sorry. hope you are recovering anad healing. you are in my prayers.

melanie, great job with the running! you should definately go for a half marathon, though it sounds like your work days are 14-15 hours with comute time right now? ouch! how did the house hunt go?

autumn, how are oyu?

well, finn is weaned and is doing just fine. he is just using a sippy cup. i am a bit sad and hormonal, but hopeful i will start to cycle? i am a bit stressed by all the visitors and changes lately, but hopefully things will settle soon. i am back to running outside, which is great. this week will be my 4th of the gymstyles as well, and i must say, the change has been fun. on a downside, i have gained 2 lbs since i stopped nursing. i will give it another week before i get too upset. i am so much less hungry, it is crazy!

take care everyone.

Hi all,
I'm being tested for some things now that I've had multiple m/c.

She's testing for Anti Nuclear Antibody (ANA) screening. The different kinds are:

anti cardio lipin antibodies
anti phospho lipid antibodies

If you have too many of either of those, your body will continue to reject the fetus, b/c it thinks it's an invader. Since I have a family history of autoimmune diseases in the family (rheumatoid arthritis and grave's disease), she thinks that might be part of my problem. If it turns out that, that is my problem, then they can try to treat with heparin, prednisone etc...and some other things depending on which it is. I just hope they can find something out soon.

My progesterone level was fine when I had my last HCG test, so they weren't worried about that, all though it was on the low side of the 'normal' range.

How is everyone doing?

Morris - I certainly wouldn't stress about 2 lbs if I were you. Sounds like you're running and enjoying the GS workouts.

Anyone buying the new Cathe dvd's? I've alreay pre-ordered!

Hi ladies.

My goodness, my life is so busy (I hate to sound cliche)...but I've never been this busy in my life!

TWO more days at my current job. It's been a long haul. I thought I was going to cry today b/c my coworkers were treating me so badly. I asked my boss if there was any way the other pharmacist would work for his when he was on vacation. He said no, so then I asked if he would give the gal who harrasses me the day off...b/c I can't stand working with her. He said he'd work on it.

We put an offer in on a log home up North. We're super excited about it. I"m praying that it will work out, ONLY if it's in God's will...but I hope it is.

Morris, when I weighed myself I was 10lbs over my lighted weight. I know it's b/c my diet has sucked with all the stress. I won't even divulge how much MD I've been drinking. I"m cutting back on sugars and won't let myself gain another lb!!

Anne, it sounds like your recuperating nicely. Let us know how the testing goes. I'd love to by Cathe's newest DVD series, but I'm going to have to wait until I move so I know my new address!!!

Take care everyone!!

Hello ladies! I can't believe it's already Friday. Everyone is finally gone out of our house except our nephew who always stays with us for the summer. It's nice to have a quiet house for a change.

Anne - I'm so glad your dr is taking a proactive approach to your fertility/pregnancy issues. I hope they figure it out so you can have that baby soon! How are you doing emotionally? Preordering her DVDs is on my to do list. I just might have to do it tonight if I don't fall asleep first!

Morris/Melanie - I've been eating like crap this past week. I won't even dare step on the scale. Plus the fact that I'm bloated like crazy.

Melanie - Sorry about all that you have to deal with on your last two days of work. Wow, are you coworkers like 12 years old?

Autumn - How are you? Drop by and say hello when you can!

I'm off to work. I'm going to pack my lunch so I stop eating so crappy. Hope you guys have a great Friday!

hi guys
what a week! mil is gone, my folks are around, but i am happy to finally have a chance to see them. also, almost done for the day, and i am taking ds to the beach late this afternoon!

lisa, glad your household is calmer. i get so stressed with extra people around. i am not very flexible i guess, which is too bad, but just how i am.

melanie, do whatever you need to do to get thru this work stuff. i am sorry you have to work there in july. i hope your boss can eliminate the bad egg for that time. that certainly does not seem like too much to ask. the log home sounds lovely. you must be quite excited.

anne, glad you are having some testing. keep us posted. hope you are feeling a bit better.

hi autumn!

i am still hoping af will start up. i am definately not pregnant, just hoping to start cycling. in the meantime, i too hope to preorder the new series. i am not sure if i will like them as 20-30 minutes of ardio is not enough for me most days, but, they sound like such fun, and i know i will just want them later hope to do it this weekend.

anyone have plans this weekend? i think dh and i are going on a date. it might help if we start speaking to each other x( i hate these transitions when he gets home. i am aorry, i know i must whine a lot, but it is just hard for me. i am not as flexible as i hope to be. sound like a broken record.

anyways, have a great weekend everyone.

Morris - I can relate. Our houseguests were great people, but I just wanted my space and routine back. I hope you and DH get to go on a date this weekend. Maybe that will break the ice! How often does DH leave town? My DH is at a softball game tonight and I'm hoping to workout, but can't seem to get my fat butt off this chair. We're planning on taking all the kids to see Fantastic Four on Sunday. I'm supposed to go shopping with my sister tomorrow to help her find her wedding dress, but she hasn't called me back so we'll see.

On a side note, I think I'm starting to spot, but not sure. I'll just have to wait and see what happens the next couple days...the waiting can be antagonizing!

Just a quick update.

We got counter-offered on the house. Not the worse thing in the world, but a little disappointed. We'll put our new offer in on Monday.

Today is my offical last day at work! Yeah! My boss did talk to that other gal, and he gave her a paid afternoon off the day I'll be filling in. She called him later that evening and really chewed him out over it. I feel awful, and worried about what will happen during the "shift change" when I"ll have to see her again. That's not for a couple of weeks, I won't worry about it for now.

Have a great weekend ladies!!!
