Hope you are doing better each day, Sweet <3

 TTA since: June 2012

Resuming TTC: who the fack knows. I think I have to wait at least 6 months after surgery to even consider it

Thoughts/Comments/Vents: I am in a lot of pain today and I want to throw something. Things have gotten so much worse for me and I am totally terrified this next surgery is not going to help me.

GTKY: What's the last thing you watched on Netflix? If you don't have Netflix, what was the last movie you saw? We rented the new Spiderman movie from Redbox. It was decent.

TTA since: This cycle, officially. Last cycle there was an oops followed by a few more well-timed oops, but this time we're for sure avoiding.

Resuming TTC: In the spring, once Sam turns one.

Thoughts/Comments/Vents: Will someone please go get me a peppermint hot chocolate from McDonalds and a muffin from Perkins? I can't stop thinking about both.

GTKY: The Avengers! I'm not normally into that kind of thing, but my mom brought over the DVD thinking we'd be into it and I watched it multiple times over the weekend.

I hope you are feeling better, goose!

TTA since: October 2012

Resuming TTC: Maybe April? Hopefully not too much longer than that, we meet with a specialist in late February to talk about loss testing.

Thoughts/Comments/Vents: One year ago today we decided to try for #2, I'm a little bummed that things haven't gone as planned but I know it will work out for us some day soon.

GTKY: What's the last thing you watched on Netflix? If you don't have Netflix, what was the last movie you saw?: 3 Ninjas: Kick Back. It was as amazing as I had remembered.

Chancie! Let's get KU together!

TTA since: August 2012

Resuming TTC: Springish. Honestly, I'd go for it now if I wasn't afraid I'd lose my job.

Thoughts/Comments/Vents: A year ago around now I was in the cycle I got KU.

GTKY: What's the last thing you watched on Netflix? If you don't have Netflix, what was the last movie you saw?: The Avengers. I had to understand the personalities behind the AEs. Our Loki is way better than the movie one.

I'm praying that this surgery changes your life and that you see a big improvement in your pain levels. I <3 you, friend!

TTA since:  November 2012

Resuming TTC:  Maybe early next year?  I want to have some foot surgery done before getting KTFU.

Thoughts/Comments/Vents:  We had been holding off TTC until my nephrologist appointment, which was on Monday.  The appointment went great, we're working on getting my blood pressure under control and the doc told me that there's no reason we should not TTC.  H and I both teared up when he told us that.

GTKY: What's the last thing you watched on Netflix? If you don't have Netflix, what was the last movie you saw?   Cowboys and Aliens.

TTA since: August/ September 2012

Resuming TTC: Hopefully in January. I applied for the plant engineer job at another school. The guy I am replacing here keeps changing his mind on retirement. What was originally Dec. 31, is now May 31. I am not waiting that long and this school is so full of stupid I can't take much longer.

Thoughts/Comments/Vents: We are in a oops situation right now. We had some spontaneous sex this weekend and spontaneously forgot the condom as well. It was in my fertile window. Nervous. It wouldn't be unwelcome, just a little bad timing.

GTKY: What's the last thing you watched on Netflix? If you don't have Netflix, what was the last movie you saw? Dinosaurs! We were feeling nostalgic and watched the pilot episode. Not the mama!

TTA since: Nov 3 2012

Resuming TTC: February? Waiting on settling hypothyroidism concerns and wisdom tooth surgery (possibly in January?)

Thoughts/Comments/Vents: My favorite thing about TTA is drinking lots of coffee at weird hours and NO PHANTOM SYMPTOMS

GTKY: What's the last thing you watched on Netflix? If you don't have Netflix, what was the last movie you saw? Not on Netflix but a whole bunch of Homeland at once. Almost caught up. Such a crush on Brody.

Hope all is going better with you sweetgoose.

TTA Since: end of Oct. 2012

Resuming TTC: once this cycle is over(depending on how much long this might be my last TTA post)

Thoughts/comments/vents: It just seemed weird to actually have to think about avoiding since prior to this we were either trying or using a stable form of BC.  Thankfully my cycle is almost over and we can get back to business.

GTKY: What's the last thing you watched on Netflix? If you don't have netflix, what was the last movie you saw?  We do not have netflix but the last movie i saw was really a disney junior movie, Sophia the First.  The last non-kiddie movie I watched was Hunger Games.  We watch way too many tv shows to have time to watch a lot of movies.

TTA since: This cycle because of cysts. RE said we can go natural/on our own (no meds) once I am pain free. But since I suck at that whole ovulating thing - I don't see it working too well.

Resuming TTC: Unmedicated = as soon as the pain is gone we can try if we want. Medicated = once my ovaries are "pretty" again. (as pretty as possible with PCOS)

Thoughts/Comments/Vents: Anxious for a good ultrasound... moving on to our first IUI :)

GTKY: What's the last thing you watched on Netflix? If you don't have Netflix, what was the last movie you saw? I can't even remember the last thing we watched on netflix! Fall TV starts and we forget all about poor Netflix. We watch "The Campaign" yesterday. (redbox)
TTC#2 Since July 2011
Me: 29, had two blocked tubes - left was cleared during lap&dye, right was unable to be cleared. PCOS & Stage 2 Endo. DH: 31, SA = perfect.
CLOMID: 4 rounds, 50mg + TI = BFN's.
FEMARA: 1 round = no response.
12-24-2012 : Laparoscopy, Softball sized cyst/endo/scar tissue removed.
Cycle #14 - Feb 2013 : 50mg clomid. Ovidrel Trigger. IUI on 2/14/13 = thin lining, multiple cysts.
Cycle #15 - no meds, still have cysts, no follicles. Boo!
Forced break. Continuous BCP for 6 weeks to give my jacked up ovaries a break.
Cycle #16 actively trying: May/June plan: Femara, Ovidrel Trigger, IUI! Bring iiiiit!
