TTA since: Beginning of October. 

TTC resuming:  I go in this week for blood work, hoping they give me the all clear to ttc again.

Thoughts/Comments/Vents:  I'm hoping I don't have to tta any longer, but I doubt it would take that quick to get my tsh levels right the first time, so I assume I will be waiting longer.

GTKY: what is your favorite sweater? who makes it? Color? Etc  Umm, I'm not sure if I have a favorite sweater. I know, I'm lame. :-/

TTA since: Nov 1st, 2012

TTC resuming: after some counseling possibly after 3 months 

Thoughts/Comments/Vents: I feel like im in limbo since I stopped temping right around O. So I'm not sure where I stand in 2WW, AF should be rearing her ugly face on either Friday or Monday. Right in time to mess up the weekend or give me a bad start to the week. I still have hope for a BFP - shoot after 2 years of TTC who doesn't right, but dealing with our issues and a pregnancy wouldn't be fair to DH or myself.

GTKY: I have a leather jacket from banana republic that is my fav.

TTA since: Yesterday.

TTC resuming: January. DH just signed up for Aflac maternity coverage to get after delivery. It's effective in August. I'm also hopefully starting a new job interview end of this month and want to be there a couple months before getting pregnant.

Thoughts/Comments/Vents: I just got my CD3 bloodwork results back and they're normal. It's not that I wanted them to be abnormal, but we have to wait to be able to do any other more extensive testing because insurance only covers 50. I've heard the HSG test can get really expensive. I want to get DH an SA before I do an HSG...he keeps saying "it's probably not even you". I think he's starting to get anxious.

GTKY: what is your favorite sweater? who makes it? Color? Etc. I have this one dark grey sweater that doesn't have sleeves. I love it so much! I'm not sure where I got it though.

Happy Hump Day! Newbie jumping in here for the first time...

TTA since: December 2011

TTC resuming: Hopefully January 2013

Thoughts/Comments/Vents: I know the next couple months will FLY BY with the holidays and whatnot, and I will enjoy being able to have a few adult beverages at parties this year, but I am anxious to start TTC #2. I have this rather irrational fear that it will take a really long time to conceive and/or I won't be able to have more kids so I want to start TTC ASAP. Luckily, DH is being the rational one and keeping me sane (for the most part).

GTKY: what is your favorite sweater? who makes it? Color? Etc
My favorite sweater is a fairly plain one that I bought from a local shop when I lived in Sweden two years ago. I don't remember who makes it, but it's gray and has a really unique collar to it. It's like half a turtle neck but then the other side buttons up so you can unbotton it to sort of fold it off to one side. It's sort of hard to explain.

 Hi Kiki! I hope it speeds up too!

I'm glad that you have your surgery date so you can move on with this whole process! I know our surgeries are different, but if you have any questions about recovery, I'll try to answer them.

TTA since: November

TTC resuming: Still up in the air - a lot will depend on how my appointment with the kidney specialist goes later this month.  

Thoughts/Comments/Vents:  Honestly I'm nervous about the results from the kidney specialist - I had lab work and a renal ultrasound done today; I had to give a urine sample and the label mentioned Stage 3 kidney disease.  I have a huge fear that they're going to tell me that we shouldn't TTC due to my health. 

GTKY: what is your favorite sweater? who makes it? Color? Etc  Right now it's a black cowl neck from Banana Republic.
