loira I get it. I'm not quite ready to TTC but we plan to start again seriously this summer. (I say seriously because I've not been on any birth control since Z, but my H has been gone 8 of the last 12 months. Ha) But I still find myself being slightly jealous over baby announcements lately. A friend who's DD is a few months older than Z just announced pregnancy #2 last week. I was not expecting to feel slightly jealous. Especially since right now I swing between absolutely ready for #2 and enjoying having my body back to where it was pre-pregnancy finally.
Ditto all of this. We're not preventing right now and are awaiting appointments with new REs, but I got insanely jealous when my BFF and her SIL both got pregnant again this spring (BFF's third, her SIL's 4th-- and their youngest are both younger than E). 2 reasons: it is so easy for them to get pregnant, and their husbands seem to be on board with having large families, unlike mine.

My brother is coming to visit in July with my 5 month old nephew (who I haven't met yet). I suspect my baby fever will rev up while they are here. Lol

Hi all! I'll be honest and say I didn't realize this board was active. My DS is 2 already! I'm so glad to see and hear so many of you are doing well!!
We just started treatments to TTC #2. I'm on Day 4 of gonal-f injections and had my first monitoring appointment this morning. I didn't expect to have all the "feelings" again, but damn if they didn't all resurface.
See, I'm pretty sure I don't want another baby though. The thought of doing the newborn phase again, not to mention travelling with 2 kids, makes me want to break out in hives. I am 99% sure I never want to be pregnant again. We have no stability right now to take on a second. Maybe I'm more jealous that people have lifestyles (and bodies) that allow them the luxury of making these decisions based only on what they want rather than on factors like immigration visas/costs/PTSD and PPA. Like, I may not WANT another, but I want that to be a decision based on how I envision our family rather than on things outside my control. I think our family would always feel incomplete, even if we had another, so I'm probably jealous of that, too.
Hi all! Hoping to start posting again more. My twins are 2 1/2 and we were planning to start really trying this summer. I received a letter though that my RE is no longer storing our embryos long term so they will be moved to another state and we'd have to pay. H and I talked last night and we're planning to do a FET in June I originally wanted to try on our own for longer because I thought maybe maybe there would be a chance it'd happen on it's own, but eh I'm kind of over that thought and like the idea of having a plan.
I talked to the nurse this morning and when CD1 hits I have to call to set up SHG. Then whenever we decide we're ready I call on CD1 to get started on Estrace. I'm excited and nervous. I love my RE so kind of glad to be back in the office, but without as many appointments and shots.
So we've gotten our registry semi-finished. I'm glad we put stuff on it. Also, my work just scheduled my shower and I'm so excited about it! I can't believe it's coming up (in a month but that's so soon!) I've started clearing out the baby's room but it's going to take forever. We have so much crap in there!
In other news, the other day we were talking about the baby and I said to my husband, "You'll love him so much once he's here, just wait and see!" He put his hand on my stomach and said, 'I already love him". Consider me a puddle as I totally melted.
Well we made it back in one piece. A did pretty well on the flight - only a couple of tantrums. It was a United flight and I'm pleased to report that they didn't try to bump A for someone else to sit on my lap, nor did we get attacked by any rogue scorpions. Though I still continue to be shocked by the lack of flight etiquette these days. It was a daytime flight, with beverage/snack service, and the idiot in front of me reclined his seat for the duration of the flight. WTF dude? The unspoken rule is no reclining on a daytime flight (or an overnight one until after the meal). If you have to do it, at least ask the person behind you. A kept wiggling around and pushing against the back of his seat and I didn't bother stopping her.

How rude! I would have asked him to put his seat back up, because of the lap baby.
