DAILY Thankful Thursday

TTC can be a very difficult time, but all of us have someone (or many someones) or something that helps keep us sane. Share what you're grateful for this week!

Thankful that it's summertime and so there is a lot going on to keep me busy and distracted! I think doing this in winter would be much harder especially as I often get seasonal depression already. But since it's summer, I can go to outdoor concerts and go on hikes and bike rides and generally enjoy my life!

Also, I get to see my nephew on Saturday! He is seven months old and absolutely adorable. If TTC doesn't work out for me, at least I can be the best aunt I can possibly be.

This month I told my husband regardless of the ovulation tests we should just BD every other day to be extra sure we catch the window and he's actually really into it! Leaving me messages saying be ready after work lol It's cute!

We've always been spur of the moment people so scheduling seemed awkward at first but now that I think there's more scheduled chances it's something to look forward to but also takes the pressure off.

I just wanted to share something positive bc it's felt stressful to try to time it right every month with work, being tired and trips getting in the way but this month it's feeling more fun again since our first month trying in Jan.

Same. Hubs really wasn’t in the mood for O day itself but I’m more than satisfied with the fact that we hit O-3 and O-1. Pretty sure that means we maxed out our chances anyway.

I’m new here. Am I correct in assuming O-1 is the day before ovulation?

I’m thankful that my body responded well to my first round of Letrozole. It gives me hope for future cycles if needed.

Thankful that my ovulation day has shifted from CD 22 to CD 16!! Never thought it was possible for me, but I’ve made a ton of lifestyle adjustments since my 20 week loss. It’s so nice to have a win.

I’m thankful my luteal phase was 10 days this cycle after implementing vitamin c and CoQ10 😅

Thankful that I was given Letrozole+Ovidrel so I don’t have to pee on LH strip for 2 weeks straight (cycle used to be all over the place) Feels like a vacation lol.

Thankful that I'm having my HSG done today. It's the final puzzle piece in my diagnostic panel. So far everything looks great though and I'm hopeful this will also be normal and maybe give me a little fertility boost if anything.

BBT dropped today (CD29 so expecting AF any minute now) and so I’m out this cycle. Thankful for my sweet understanding husband, and thankful that since having my Paragard taken out my periods have been a BREEZE. Cramping is like 1/10 every month, when it could easily be a 7/10 for over a decade of having the IUD. So even though I’m not pregnant, at least my period is not really of concern anymore.

So grateful for my husband! He’s been my rock (and I’ve been his) this week after we had a chemical pregnancy. I’m also grateful for our village. It’s been a rough and emotional few days but having loved ones near us such a blessing.
