Sorry for my recent absence. Things have been crazy. Multiple board exams, multiple flights, transatlantic and otherwise. I counted 12 flights in 6 weeks. Phew.
Fortunately, I have passed both said board exams. WOOHOO! And have started at a new job (well, the same job I had last summer). Really liking it so far.
Unfortunately I have also had another loss. I think most of you are on TTCAL and know this but in case you're not, this is what happened:
I didn't temp my February cycle because I was flying so much, and I had an overnight transatlantic flight right around O, so I knew my temps wouldn't mean much. On what I think was 12dpo, I tested, got a BFN. So I figured I was out, even went through the airport body scanner thingy. Today, since I have had zero signs of AF, I tested anyway to get it out of my system. I dipped a wondfo, turned on the shower and took my clothes off, glanced over, saw just the one line. So I showered, then went to throw it out, and....what's that? A super faint line? But I'm 14-ish dpo. My first thought was "well, I guess I'm going to have another miscarriage." Since it was after the time limit, I dipped a FRER. Definitely positive, but faint. I dipped 2 more wondfos, they were very faint, especially the last one. But I've convinced myself it's because my pee had been sitting out for a while at that point.
After a roller coaster 2 weeks, an ultrasound confirmed it would be another loss. There was a very small sac (in the right place, which is nice although it doesn't really matter if it's a loss anyway). I had betas done, and they were dropping.
Right now, I am in the process of finishing up my RPL testing. Repeat SHG showed a tiny bit of septum left, which we knew. The only thing I have left is CD3 bloodwork, so we decided to TTA this cycle so we could finish our testing and hopefully come up with a plan. It looks like I'll be Oing soon so hopefully that will be sooner rather than later!
In other news, I am running my second half marathon in just a few weeks!
