***~~Waiting to do Something~~***

Good morning ladies and happy hump day! I can't believe it is Wednesday already!!

For any newbies out there: the Waiting to do Something thread is posted once a week on Wednesdays.  It's open to those of us who experience long, extended cycles.  Some of us are going through medicated cycles, some of us are going through testing and some of us are just waiting, well to do something!! 

1. Cycle/month:

2. CD:

3. Medicated?

4. What are you doing this cycle?

5.  What's pissing you off?!?!

6. QOTW: Do you have any vacations planned for this year?

1. Cycle/month: 3/7

2. CD:113

3. Medicated? No

4. What are you doing this cycle? I'm down to temping sometimes....just hoping April gets here fast!

5.  What's pissing you off?!?! Just my job right now; lack of supervision, lack of support. Eh.

6. QOTW: Do you have any vacations planned for this year? Not yet. I've never been able to get DH to plan anything ahead of time besides our wedding and honeymoon, which we only had 4 months to plan. I'm hoping we can take a long weekend the end of next month and this summer go camping.

Yay short weeks!!

1. Cycle/month: endless

4. What are you doing this cycle?  I had signs of O earlier this month, so waiting it out (impatiently) to see if I actually cycle. (I'm not temping since I haven't had a period in three years...)  If I don't get AF this month, I'll try another Provera round at the beginning of March.

5.  What's pissing you off?!?!  The weather. It doesn't usually bother me, but I am REALLY ready for spring.

6. QOTW: Do you have any vacations planned for this year? We just moved so family is actually making plans to come stay with us this year and see the new house!

Hi Novel, I hope your job gets better and you get to plan that vacation!

Also, WEANS, where are you? Hope all is good lady ;)

1. Cycle/month: 7 / 12

2. CD: 6

3. Medicated? Still on BCP, I can't find my damn Dr and I'm still not ready for going to a RE. 

4. What are you doing this cycle? Nothing as usual.

5.  What's pissing you off?!?! I usually have insomnia, but I just had one of my worst nights, I fell asleep around 4.30 and DH woke me up around 6 with all the banging of doors and stuff, he's no a quiet man. And, since I don't usually drink coffee, the cup I just had is giving me some heartburn. Yay.

6. QOTW: Do you have any vacations planned for this year? Not yet. We might be going away around August, a friend of mine is having a destination wedding, so maybe we turn that into a vacation too.

Hi ladies

1. Cycle/month: 3/9

2. CD: 66

3. Medicated? no

4. What are you doing this cycle?  I was charting temps, OPKs & CM but I've given up on this cycle and am now just waiting until I can take more Provera

5. What's pissing you off? Crazy hormones. I need to get my PCOS under control and requested to speak with my obgyn about Metformin but she referred me to an RE instead. She also said the rest of my testing should be done with RE as well. Now I'm wondering if I should wait to take Provera until appt with RE since testing needs to be done at certain times in my cycle and who knows how long it will be until I'm on CD3 again?

6. Any vacations planned this year?  No Sad  We're saving money for baby so decided not to this year but I'm starting to get antsy (I hate winter)!

 Hi! Hope it's ok that I'm posting here. This has been my first long cycle since ending BCP and prior to taking them my cycles were much longer than average.

1. Cycle/month: 6/8

2. CD: 61

3. Medicated? No

4. What are you doing this cycle? I was temping everyday up until about a week ago and had CH until I entered a day 46's temp, now just using OPKs and HIO.

5.  What's pissing you off?!?! Work and that nobody gives you a straight answer about anything

6. QOTW: Do you have any vacations planned for this year? We are going to Disney World for 5 days at the beginning of April, and then probably going to Baltimore for a couple baseball games at the end of August

1. Cycle/month: 8

2. CD: 80-something

3. Medicated? No.

4. What are you doing this cycle? Waiting for a spontaneous cycle. It's been a little over two weeks since I stopped bleeding, so I'm looking at another two weeks probably before that happens. Until then, if we have sex, we'll use condoms to prevent so I can heal, physically and emotionally.

5.  What's pissing you off?!?! Work. If a group of people is causing a problem, such as absenteeism, then deal with those people. Don't send out blanket emails about how absenteeism affects your students. Some of us are there every day, on time, working our arses off. Some of us worked through one of the most awful moments of our lives, without complaint. Screw them all.

6. QOTW: Do you have any vacations planned for this year? I wish.

 Hi JonBon!!  How have you been?  I quite enjoy your Pinterest fashions!  I can completely relate to you w/insomnia.  I often have to use some sort of sleep aid  Whereas, MH can fall asleep & fall back to sleep in minutes.  

Hi ladies!! I hope you're all doing well :)

  I'm a day late to the game - par for the course ;)  I just finished up a nice 8 day/9 shift stretch of work.  I am beat!

  We are leaving for vacation on Saturday - Woo!  Heading to Florida for some sunshine & relaxation.  Other than that, we will visit SC for a week for a wedding/visit family & somewhere else TBD.   

  As for the fertility world, the surgery is still scheduled for March 7th.  Fingers & every body part possible crossed for a positive outcome!
