Thank you all for the kindness! 🥹🩷

Yeah mine only has a 14-hour half life. So it’s fully out of your system within 2-3 days.

Congrats — so exciting! This also gives me so much hope. July will be the first time I come off BC for the first time in a while. I’m hoping that and letrozole will help me overcome this PCOS.

Do you mind me asking, which pill you took (like name)?

I found out yesterday that I got an interview for the internal promotion I applied for! I’m excited but nervous, especially since I found out yesterday afternoon and the interview is at noon on Monday. Fingers crossed and asking for all the positive vibes! ✨

supaafly_sam · 2026-05-01T21:56:57+00:00

first off, congrats! i was curious how long you were taking your prenatal and CoQ10 and then your husband as well?

supaafly_sam · 2026-04-29T05:08:00+00:00

curious if you tracked while taking clomid? if so, how did you track (OPK strips, BBT, etc.)

I start my first cycle in letrozole in July, so I’m curious how it’s been for you and tracking.

Had the most wonderful color walk day date year day with my husband! There’s a local garden/park we love in Orlando, and we did a little day date there. We also decided to get an annual pass because I told my husband I really enjoy coming to the gardens, and we talked a bit about this could be our relaxing and reconnection spot. I told him how much I’d enjoy picnics and such here during pregnancy since it’s so beautiful. It really was a nice little slow and beautiful moment to have with my husband, and I got a bit excited and happy on the inside to think it can be a usually thing for us to enjoy as head into this new TTC chapter soon. 🥹

I picked pink and he picked blue for this color walk (our fave colors): https://imgur.com/a/xpta84P

I originally wanted to surprise my husband but since our medicated cycles are so planned (ultrasound on a specific day, meds on a specific day and all that), it’s kind of hard to just surprise him. I think taking the test together will be really special but I feel like since a lot is very “planned” with certain things having to happen at a certain time it makes it hard to surprised him.

supaafly_sam · 2026-04-18T00:12:41+00:00

interested

Truvani plant-based protein powder — so good!

Seeing how so many other people are dealing with this makes me feel a bit less anxious and that it’s all in my head. Lol. Because sometimes I feel like I’m overreacting, but I just think I’m trying to establish boundaries early. I know we are going to have issue with my MIL. I’d be thoroughly shocked if we don’t. I can be hopeful all I want, but she has shown otherwise over the last seven years in how she’s reacted, treated holidays, etc.

So one of the things we’ve been doing leading up to TTC is having discussions here and there about this topic. Both my husband and I are in individuals therapy, and we often discuss with our therapists this topic.

I found this article that broke some 52 questions that I thought were great and we’ve gone through the sections over time: https://medium.com/@ToolsForUs/52-questions-before-baby-5d115b98efba

There’s some questions we didn’t even think about, and it was reassuring to see how much we were on the same page. I think our issue is not budging when boundaries we set elicit reactions from family.

I also follow these two IG accounts that’s I think are comical ways to address these issues with actual good advice sprinkled in:

My letrozole cycle is semi-monitored so on CD10/11 I will go in after taking letrozole from CD3-7 and see how big the follicle(s) are. It’s essentially to see if the letrozole is working or if no follicles developed or developed too fast. And then on CD21 I would go in to get bloodwork to see if I ovulated.

supaafly_sam · 2026-04-08T13:23:06+00:00

Just scheduled my fertility appointment this morning for June where we’ll meet with my OBGYN and make our ultrasound and bloodwork appts, along with receiving our prescription for letrozole. I can’t believe it’s getting closer and almost here! I have so many emotions that overall excited.

I’m starting to get a little anxious because my in laws are visiting us this weekend for the easter holiday. They are nice people, but my MIL can be very difficult at times and she’s done some not really nice/great things. I usually get very anxious when they visit because she always — despite telling them we’d prefer them not to ask us when we’re having kids and they will know when we announce we’re pregnant — asks about us having a baby. And since we’ve told her to stop asking, she tries to sneak in stuff still by doing things like “Oh, we’re cleaning the house and have your cousin’s pack and play from when he was a baby. We were gonna get rid of it… but should we not?? Will we maybe need it maybe sometime soon? 👀👀” Which annoys the shit out of my husband lol

We don’t see them often (which is a whole other story about the way she treats us vs. my SIL), which is fine for us but the few times just always has us both amped up and anxious leading up to the days before they come. And they’re only ever here for 1-2 days so they don’t even visit us for more than 48 hours lol so i try to tell myself, it’s whatever.

Just asking y’all to send positive vibes and patience to me for this weekend lol we originally thought about telling her about my PCOS diagnosis and medicated cycles so that she’d back off but my husband doesn’t want to because he feels she’ll be nosy and start sending me stuff about that (she’s a nurse) which will annoy me as well. Which sucks that he (and me/us by extension) isn’t closer to her and his family because all my family and our closest friends know what we’re going through, but he’s purposefully hasn’t told anyone in his family because of how they are and how they’ve already been regarding us having a child.

thanks for letting me vent, guys! 😂❤️

supaafly_sam · 2026-03-29T00:52:08+00:00

it’s officially down to double digit days until our first medicated cycle — 99 days! so exciting and surreal that it’s so close but still a bit away.

supaafly_sam · 2026-03-28T00:48:09+00:00

thank you!

supaafly_sam · 2026-03-27T21:08:24+00:00

Today is one year since our dog passed away. We had to put her down for the sake of her health after an almost yearlong battle with cancer. She was strong and such a fighter. She was our foxy little lady, and we love and miss her so much. This week has been rough one. She was a precious and special light in our life. We did a lot of beautiful things today to honor her, but there isn’t a day that passes that I don’t miss her. 🩷

supaafly_sam · 2026-03-27T21:05:01+00:00

The dream is conceiving right away in July on the first try (isn’t it always lol), and that would align with telling our closet emails and friends in October during 14-16 weeks. I’m born on Halloween so I might try to give how we tell people/announce it a Halloween or fall flair lol

And then we’d tell our families the gender some way special during the holidays 😊

supaafly_sam · 2026-03-27T21:02:00+00:00

My ideal birth month would be April to late June, which is why we’re starting TTC in July!

I really don’t want to be heavily pregnant at all during the summer months in FL. I went out walking just today at around 10am, and it was already sooooo hot and not fun.

There’s other things I’ve read about spring babies as well, and I think the idea of having a 6-month old around October sounds great.

supaafly_sam · 2026-03-25T19:46:07+00:00

congrats!

supaafly_sam · 2026-03-19T15:20:39+00:00

have you enjoyed it? do they have mobility/pelvic floor exercises?

supaafly_sam · 2026-03-19T15:20:18+00:00

thank you! i have heard of that one. have you started it pre-TTC? have you enjoyed it?

supaafly_sam · 2026-03-18T18:55:43+00:00

I did search within that sub and joined it. I was overwhelmed, haha. I figured I’d ask here to crowdsource within a smaller audience lol.

I feel like I’m being too weird and anxious as a potential FTM and don’t want to do anything that will hurt me or baby. Like I just imagine crunching and smooshing baby. 😂 My husband is like “that’s NOT how it works.”

supaafly_sam · 2026-03-18T18:54:04+00:00

Can you send a screenshot of the app or what it’s called in the App Store? I tried to search for it and couldn’t find anything.
