CD/dpo: CD7...gearing up to enter the FW tomorrow or the next day (according to my past cycles)...let the daily BDing begin.

How is everyone doing today with it being Christmas? today DH is on a 24h shift. It makes it a little hard, but I am trying to stay busy today and we will be going to the station this afternoon to eat Christmas dinner there and then will celebrate as a family tomorrow.

QOTD: Is anyone doing anything special today to remember their little angel(s)? Today I am going to stay busy, and tonight is my alone time to reflect and talk to Noah.

CD/dpo: CD6, and starting OPKs tomorrow! Probably start BDing tomorrow every other day until closer to O. I have good feelings about this cycle!

How is everyone doing today with it being Christmas? Really missing Bradley. I should have a 3 month old to spoil, instead I brought flowers and gingerbread cookies to his grave. 

QOTD: Is anyone doing anything special today to remember their little angel(s)? Read Bradley The Polar Express, visited him... I guess that's it. I just really, really miss him. I had phantom kicks last night and again this morning. Made me miss him even more.

CD6 over here. I think AF has pretty much left the building, which is good. Worst period EVER. couldn't even use super tampons it was so heavy.

Nothing special because its Christmas. We're Jewish, so today's just a freebie day off work for us. I have been working on my quilt a lot and watching movies.

I have a good feeling about this cycle too...for some reason I don't feel so stressed about it.

I am so sorry about Bradley. I am glad you have a place to visit and remember him. Reading to him was very nice. I am not sure if you are religious, or believe in heaven, but I have found just a bit of peace knowing Noah is in heaven and is playing with other children there. I really feel like he is happy and watching over his family and waiting for us to meet again one day.

I am glad AF has left the building, sorry about her being such a bittch. Maybe she knows she's going be be gone a while and was trying to put up a fight!

I hope you enjoy your freebie day off. It sounds like you are relaxing.

I am sorry today has been difficult for you. Getting drunk sometimes helps, and no one here will fault you for that....I did the same thing at a xmas party on Saturday.

When do you usually O? Too bad he won't BD at his parents...I find the thrill exciting Stick out tongue Hopefully your visit is enjoyable.

CD/dpo: CD 7

How is everyone doing today with it being Christmas? doing pretty well but it doesn't even feel like Christmas because we stayed home.  Missing the ILs but couldn't risk giving FIL our colds while he is on chemo.  

QOTD: Is anyone doing anything special today to remember their little angel(s)? I really want to do something but haven't thought of anything.  I want to get an angel ornament in memory of our baby.  MIL mailed me an ornament that says "Joy").  It looks like a cookie and has a hole in the "o".  She explained to me that she got it because of our loss, that even though something is missing, we can still have joy in the midst of our circumstances.  I thought that was very sweet.

I am sorry you weren't able to see your ILs and that your FIL is sick. What a nice gift from your MIL, so thoughtful!

~Pregnancy mentioned below (not mine)~

Its CD 7 for me and AF is STILL here! Seems like she's finally on her way out, but she has been such a b!tch! Seriously the heaviest period of my life. I O late in my cycle so FW won't start for me till after New Year's (so we'll probably start BDing on New Year's Eve!)

Christmas was ok. It seemed a little lack-luster this year because DH had to work last night and tonight, so I spent Christmas Eve alone, and today I went to my aunt's by myself. On the plus side, I made it through the whole night without a meltdown, even though my aunt is due January 19th with #2 and is ready to pop. My whole family knows about our loss, and luckily everyone has been very considerate and I have not had to tolerate any TP worthy comments. Overall the day was very low-key and uneventful, which is exactly what I wanted.   

I haven't quite figured out how I'd like to memoralize our angel, so we didn't do anything today in particular. I just spent my car ride to and from my aunt's in quiet reflection on my own.

I am glad that your Christmas was uneventful, but I am sorry DH couldn't be home. My DH is also on shift for 24h today. When you start BDing for FW I will be ending mine. We can help other through :)

Sometimes quiet reflection is the best thing. I hope you find a way to memorialize your little one in a way that is good for you and DH.

Today is cd8 for me. Will start testing with opk's in a few days.

Christmas Eve was hard for me. Totally broke down on my husband while getting ready to go to his brother's house. I really just haven't been in the mood for Christmas this year. Felt better emotionally today.

I'm late, but I'll post an update anyway. 

I'm CD 10 and I haven't even temped the last 2 days. My schedule has been too weird, there would be no point because it wouldn't at all be accurate anyway. But somehow, I'm really not stressing about it. Maybe I will have a nice, relaxing cycle (bahahahaha!)

My Christmas was actually really good. I was afraid of how it would be, but there were no surprise pg announcements (aside from one ridiculous one on FB last night) and I only got asked once when I will be having babies (and that was by a younger cousin who really has no idea what has gone on lately, so I can't fault her). I'm glad to finally have some time with DH as well.

I am still checking in on the check in haha :) I am glad that you are feelings relaxed, I am as well this cycle. I am thinking it might be because I am off from teaching until the 2nd.

It was nice that you were able to make it mostly through the day without any pg related questions.

No worries about being late. I am still watching the thread :) I hope Friday's growth check goes well! FX! And sometimes saying a prayer is just enough, I am glad you were able to find some quiet time to relax.
