RRCS:

GTKY: How are you spending Mother's day?

[flyinghorses6]

Age of LO(s): DD will be 1 in 2 weeks, her birthday party is Saturday

Cycle/Month: 1

CD/DPO: 1

RRCS: Just happy AF started today since I wasn't sure what was going on post CP last month.

GTKY: How are you spending Mother's day? My mom will be here since we are having DD's bday party Saturday. It is my first mother's day but not sure we have anything really planned. Im just hoping for some nice weather--sick of rain, and being stuck inside.

[BabyStandish]

Age of LO(s): 15 months

Cycle/Month: 1st pp cycle

CD/DPO: 37

RRCS: I've had EWCM for a full week now. A couple of days last week it had a pink tinge to it. So who knows what's happening. My temps are like rocky mountain temps since we co-sleep/BF. DH hid my pregnancy tests from me, but I plan on testing next week if no AF before then. I'm not sure why I thought my cycles would go back to normal right away. This guessing game isn't fun.

GTKY: How are you spending Mother's day? No idea. I know we will go to church, but that's about it. We have a date night on Saturday and might go see a movie.

[cheezee]

Age of LO(s): officially 4.5 in 5 days.

Cycle/Month: 12/13

CD/DPO: CD 11

RRCS: Nada.

GTKY: How are you spending Mother's day? Breakfast in bed I hope. Lunch with my mom and dinner with MIL.

[sleepymonkey]

Age of LO(s): 2

Cycle/Month: 12/12

CD/DPO: 23/11

RRCS: Betas on Friday to see if IUI#3 worked. If it didn't, we're 90% sure we're just going to go back to natural cycles for the next 3 cycles until we give up on TFAS. Now we just have to decide whether to go through with the HSG that the RE recommends if this cycle is a bust. If my tubes are blocked, I'm not going to have surgery to unblock them so I wonder if it's worth it.

GTKY: How are you spending Mother's day? We are just having my parents and my brother's family over for dinner. I'm hoping maybe MH will think do something for breakfast for me but I'm not going to hold my breath.

[sdfonz619]

Age of LO(s): 7.5 months

Cycle/Month: 3

CD/DPO: CD6

RRCS: Finally got a BBT that takes accurate temps and started temping today.

GTKY: How are you spending Mother's day? I am making us brunch at home, I love to cook so going somewhere would take away from that. After, we are going to one of those paint your own ceramics places to make impressions of DD's hands and feet as a keepsake for our first Mother's day with her. The rest of the day we are leaving open to do whatever sounds good.


BabyStandish, I am only my third PP cycle and have noticed they are starting to go back to how they were pre pregnancy cycle length wise. It may just take a few to reset.

[BabyStandish]

sleepymonkey I have my fingers crossed for you.

sdfonz619 that's what I'm thinking. FF still thinks I O'd on CD 14 and I'm like no! Definitely not lol.

Cycle/Month: C4/M6

CD/DPO: CD13

RRCS: meh. Nothing you guys haven't heard before.

GTKY: How are you spending Mother's day?
I think DH is going to watch DD in the morning and I'm going to get myself a yummy coffee from somewhere and go to our local nursery for a chicken class. Haha. Other than that no plans.

[BabyStandish]

ourcrazynavylife wait...a chicken class at a nursery? Please explain.

One of our local nurseries does all kinds of free classes. They're doing one called "raising chickens, ducks, and turkeys". I'm obsessed with having backyard chickens so I'm going so I can hopefully get a coop of my own when we move this summer

[amandamh2]

Age of LO(s): 1 year

Cycle/Month: ?/4; TFAS/NTNP due to no PP AF yet, still BFing

RRCS: Poor DS has quite the fever this morning. He's just below the recommendation for going to see the doctor. After a really rough night he's finally sleeping so hopefully he'll feel a bit better when he wakes up. DH is going out of town tonight so I'm really hoping not to have a repeat of last night on my own.

GTKY: No idea yet. I've been on my own due to DH's training a lot lately so I'm kind of hoping he'll do something nice.

[thelittleredm]

Age of LO: 2.5yrs

Circumstances: TTC #2

Cycle/Month: 15/16

CD/DPO: 27/8

RRCS: Poor DS He was up on and off all night with nightmares. He couldn't even fall asleep easily in our bed which never happens. I'm hoping tonight is different because I'm exhausted.

GTKY: No idea. I decided to avoid the subject because I hate feeling like I'm nagging about doing something for it.

[Deleted]

Age of LO(s): 3.5 yrs DS

Cycle/Month: 5/9

CD/DPO: 2

RRCS: diva cups a wierd. I just got it today and it is super long. I've tried turning it inside out which seems to help, but i can still feel it a lot.

GTKY: How are you spending Mother's day?

We wil take DS to his skating lessons, and then to the ILs to celebrate mothers day and FIL birthday. DH will be grilling, and DS and i are making FIL a cake too.

[wildflower810]

Age of LO(s): 17 months

Cycle/Month: .5 until we start TTC.

CD/DPO: 19/2 DPO. I'm sure I will get CH tomorrow.

RRCS: And that makes the last O we are avoiding! DS was a surprise pregnancy, so I'm pretty dang proud of us for successfully avoiding as long as we wanted to.

GTKY: How are you spending Mother's day? Church, and uh, not cooking dinner. That's all I know. H suggested cheap take out from our go-to take out place when I informed him that I wasn't cooking on Sunday. :sigh: I did spy a card on his desk that I think is intended for me, so I'll take it. The last two Mother's Days have gone unrecognized.

[daisylola11]

DS is 20 months

Cycle 1 temping, then ttc next cycle.

CD1

RRCS: started period today after I stopped BCP on sat. And second day temping just to get use to it. Really want to get this show on the road, gonna be a long month since we hate using condoms :/

GTKY: I got my early Mother's Day gift on Sunday (jujube diaper bag) but I think we'll just go out to eat and hang out no big thing planned.

[savigirl]

LO is 23 months. Just got her two year old tutu in! Need to schedule photos.

Cycle/month: 2/2

Cd: 21. DPO:7

RRCS: just tying to stay off the train. FF recommends testing Monday.

Gtky: DH is out of town working and I know he didn't pre-plan , but we're not big On gifts. In laws are joining us at my parents house Sunday for make your own pizzas on My parents brick oven. My dad is awesome and built it!

[lightside]

Age of LO(s): 12 months

Cycle/Month: -

CD/DPO: -

RRCS: Waiting for first pp cycle. Still BF, dropped down to 3x/day over the last few days and plan to keep it at this level as long as he shows interest. We were NP but decided to prevent again until my cycle reappears so I don't feel the need to POAS every time I feel a twinge in my uterus. I was pretty convinced that I was pregnant last week (nope) but it turns out my BFF just got a surprise BFP so hopefully I will get to cuddle a tiny baby in January anyway!

GTKY: How are you spending Mother's day?
A sleep in would be good enough for me!

[cheezee]

eameselephant goodness I'm sorry your LO has been in the hospital! Hope you all are home soon!

[smores]

I know its Wednesday, but better late then never, right? Work was crazy yesterday!

Age of LO(s): DD is 13 months

Cycle/Month: 1/1

CD/DPO: 14 / still WTO

RRCS: Nothing much, this is my first PP cycle so I'm just waiting to see how it plays out.

GTKY: How are you spending Mother's day? I told DH that all I wanted for Mother's Day was for him to take DD when she wakes up so that I can sleep in and a mimosa in one of those giant cups the hospital gives you (yeah, I kept mine haha) after I wake up from my sleep in! We will probably brunch with my parents and have dinner with my in laws as well.

flyinghorses6 - Happy early Birthday to your DD! Hope you have a great time at the party!

BabyStandish - We are in the same boat with co-sleeping and BF still. I decided not to temp (for the time being) because I was worried they would be all over the place! I'll be following to see if FF is still able to pick up your O date!

ourcrazynavylife - That is such an awesome class that they offer! I have always wanted chickens. We aren't zoned for them, but a girl can dream... Maybe in our next house!

amandamh2 - I hope your LO feels better soon and doesn't require a doctor's visit!

eameselephant - How scary! I hope your LO recovers quickly!

Thanks smores and cheezee! We got discharged from the hospital today!

That's great to hear! T&P for a continued speedy recovery at home

ETA - Also, FX for a BFP when you test tomorrow!

[wildflower810]

smores, I got my period back at like 4 months PP, and my cycles were all over the place. Of course, I was ebfing so that didn't help. Just keep temping is my advice. FF was able to figure out some pretty dang rocky cycles while I was up in the night and etc.

Fx, eameselephant!

Good to know! Maybe I will try adding it in next cycle and just see how it goes. Did you temp after your longest sleep or at the same time every morning?

Haven't tested yet, I need to run to the store to pick some up... Although I feel slightly crampy. Trying to decide if I should wait for AF or just go ahead and test!

If you're 14 dpo you're definitely in the safe testing zone! Butttt it never hurts to wait an extra day.

I took it after my longest sleep since my sleep got pretty broken up nearer morning with H getting up for work and whatnot. I also lied to FF about *when* I was taking my temp so that it wouldn't give me open circles on everything. I got a thermometer with an automatic recall function ($5 at my local pharmacy) so I didn't have to read my temp at 3:40 in the morning. I'd just hit the on button (it beeped), stick it in my mouth until it beeped again, turn it off, and toss it on the night stand. Whenever I was awake and up in the morning, I'd turn it on, read my temp, and enter it.

Idk why I wrote that all in past tense... that's how I'm temping now even though LO is weaned and sttn. The time is more consistent, but I don't want to wake up enough to read a temp and enter it in my phone!

Thanks for all the info! I did the same when I temped last time around. I was a fan of hitting snooze like 10 times so I never read my temp right away, haha. Although, now my tiny human alarm clock has no snooze button!

[smores]

eameselephant - I was totally thinking about you today, wondering if you tested yet. Congratulations! I hope you have a happy, healthy, and boring 9 months!

[daisylola11]

[savigirl]
