[BabyStandish]

Age of LO(s): 16 months

Cycle/Month: 1

CD/DPO: 44/either 4 or 12

RRCS: I'm just hoping my body actually ovulated. It's been doing strange things these last couple weeks.

GTKY: Tell me about any funny names that you/your SO/your LO give to things. LO isn't saying a whole lot yet, but he calls my boobs "boo" when he wants to nurse. My husband and I call fertile CM "play juice". He didn't like the word mucus or fluid lol

[savigirl]

LO is 23 months

Cycle 3 Month 3

Cd:3 (lots of 3s)

RRCS: so back story, when I got pregnant with DD I was awaiting my period to schedule my hsg. I had what I thought was 2 days of bleeding so I scheduled. I poas just because the night before hsg and it was a BFP. So of course now every time cd 1 comes I secretly wish and hope it's just implantation spotting and not really Cd1.. Grrrr mind games I play with myself.

Gtky: DD watched jungle book and now calls it "animals" she runs around without a shirt smacking her belly and making money noises! Super funny and cute.

[wildflower810]

Age of LO(s): 17.5 months

Cycle/Month: alllllmost ready to start ttc!

CD/DPO: 9 dpo, expecting AF on Saturday. From there, game on.

RRCS: I have lots and lots of feels about TFAS. I'll probably be writing a book here next week.

GTKY: Tell me about any funny names that you/your SO/your LO give to things. DS calls throwing things "chuck" like "did you chuck that?" He also calls balls "chuck." It's a word we hear a lot as he throws food and binkys all over the place.

[smores]

Age of LO: 13 months

Cycle/Month: 1/1

CD/DPO: 20 - still WTO

RRCS: Nothing really. Just waiting, not so patiently to O. I'm on day 5 of flashing smiley faces with the CBDA OPKs, so just hoping to make it into the TWW soon!

GTKY: My DD can say bow for hair bows and can also point to eyes and say eye. She just learned how to point to eye brows on my face when I ask her to, but can't seem to master the word brow. So she calls eye brows "eye bow" it's super cute!

[smores]

BabyStandish - "Play Juice" made me gag a little lol. Butttt I agree with YH, fluid and mucus aren't exactly pleasant words either!

savigirl - I feel you on the secretly hoping CD1 is something else! The cycle I got pregnant with DD I had like 4-5 days of heavy spotting, like I thought it was my period. Nope, turns out it was mid-cycle bleeding that accompanied O that month. Then, I ended up pregnant that cycle.

wildflower810 - Your DS saying "chuck" instead of "throw" is so cute! I like "chuck" better! Haha. Good luck as you get ready to start TTC again!

[cheezee]

Age of LO(s): 4.5

Cycle/Month: 12/13

CD/DPO: CD18

RRCS: just really hoping to O soon.

GTKY: Tell me about any funny names that you/your SO/your LO give to things. DH picks up donuts all the time and DD started calling the sausage rolls "hot dog donuts".

[monicageller]

Jumping in this thread for the first time!


Age of LO(s): 3.5

Cycle/Month: I'm not sure how to answer this. We started trying in November and got pregnant on my second cycle, but k lost that baby at 14 weeks. I have one period post D&C which was 6 weeks ago and once I get another period we'll officially be trying again. What would you all say? Month 6 and next cycle will be 1 cycle since MC?

CD/DPO: cycle day 44. Not sure if or when I O'd because I wasn't using OPKs or doing any tracking. I just want to get my period so I can start a fresh cycle and track what's going on.

RRCS: Getting frustrated with this 6 week cycle!

GTKY: Tell me about any funny names that you/your SO/your LO give to things. DH and I both call each other Beak. I can't think of any funny names we give to anything else, but ok sure we do!

ETA : DS is obsessed with hockey. When he was younger he called it "go-go." It was so cute, we got sad when he started actually calling it hockey.

[wildflower810]

monicageller, you can count however you want. If that's from your beginning of TFAS journey, then do that. I see some ladies put something like 6/2AL (after loss).

[smores]

monicageller - Welcome and I'm so sorry for your loss. I see ladies putting month/cycle as 6/6 (1 AL) or whatever numbers apply to you, AL being after loss.

[monicageller]

Thanks wildflower810 and smores! DH calls me the accuracy police, because I'm a littl crazy/anal. So I wanna count the right way!!

[amandamh2]

Age of LO(s): 12.5 months

Cycle/Month: unknown- waiting on first PP AF, still BFing

RRCS: DS has dropped down to three feeds this week and is sleeping 9-10 hour stretches at night so I'm really hoping that will be enough to get things going. I'm not actively weaning but I'm glad he's dropping down on his own. Just struggling to stay patient right now.

GTKY: DS doesn't talk much yet so nothing from him but DH calls spitting up "blargling" for some reason. He did it once and it just kind of stuck, he even has our parents and siblings saying it.

[sdfonz619]

Age of LO(s): I cannot believe I will have an 8 month old next week!

Cycle/Month: 3

CD/DPO: CD13

RRCS: What does it mean when FF doesn't link temps with a line?

GTKY: Tell me about any funny names that you/your SO/your LO give to things. LO isn't talking just yet, but she stops in the middle of nursing and says "ba ba ba", smiles and then resumes which is adorable! Otherwise, MW and I seem to add an "ies" to the end of everything since LO was born, for example, milk is now milkies.

[MapleMomma]

Age of LO(s): 15 months

Cycle/Month: 2

CD/DPO: CD 8,WTO

RRCS: I'm glad that I'll be home next week and weekend. Hopefully we can time my FW correctly.

GTKY: Tell me about any funny names that you/your SO/your LO give to things.

We call J Rue. DH said it once and it's just stuck.

We call our cows Mama cows, daddy cows, baby cows and dinner cows.

Oranges are called orbs because J loves them and freaks out if she hears the word (or sees one).

[smores]

amandamh2 - I know it's different for everyone but my cycle finally came back after I day weaned (we still BF at bedtime and however many times she wakes up overnight). It's hard to be patient! FX you can get back in the TTC game soon!

sdfonz619 - FF never put a line when I discarded a temp, but otherwise I'm not sure why it wouldn't give you one. Do you have a chart link?

[sdfonz619]

Not sure if this will work but here is the link;

My Ovulation Chart

ETA: I missed one temp over the weekend, but am not sure if that would cause FF to not link the rest of my temps. Also, I started taking it at 4 am but have found that I can be more consistent at 2 am before my DD's first MOTN wake up, so that could also be a factor.

[Deleted]

Age of LO(s): DS 3.5 yrs

Cycle/Month: 5/10

CD/DPO: 9

RRCS: nothing new this week.

GTKY: Tell me about any funny names that you/your SO/your LO give to things.

DS has been calling his new play guitar the "katar". He is currently obsessed with being a rock star, lol!

So wierd, I have no idea why it isn't connecting your most recent temp! I don't think times have much to do with it though, I think that just matters for open circles vs solid circle. I could be wrong though. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful!

My son, who is the same age, calls his guitar a "tar." And also offers to sing me songs. Tonight he made up a song similar to 5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed, by it about minions driving in a car. Goofy kids.

Has your most recent temp been marked as "discard"? When I've discarded a temp, it adds a black circle and doesn't connect it.

Yes! I must have accidentally marked it when I logged my temp this morning. I guess that's what happens at 2 am when I'm only half awake!

[amandamh2]

Thanks smores. I don't see our other three sessions going anywhere for a while (morning, nap, bed) so it's all about trying to find patience. I know a lot of people find night weaning helps and we're pretty much there but as you said, it's different for everyone.

[lightside]

Age of LO(s): 13 months in a few days

Cycle/Month: Stillll waiting...

CD/DPO:

RRCS: Waiting for first pp cycle. BF 3x/day. He's been completely night weaned for about 2 months and now has his last feed right after dinner so goes about 13 hours overnight. Surely that should do it!

GTKY: Tell me about any funny names that you/your SO/your LO give to things. He calls the dog "da-doo" (and now we do too, of course) but sometimes it comes out as "dog-doo." He often drops consonants and really emphasizes his T sounds so cat is just "AT" and hot is "OT"...

[judyblume14]

monicageller , sorry for your loss. Welcome!
BabyStandish , playjuice? barf...

Age of LO(s): 20 months

Cycle/Month: 10/10

CD/DPO: CD 21 / either 8, 10 or 13.

RRCS: When did I O?


My Ovulation Chart

FF first gave me CH at CD13, then took them away. Then moved them back to CD 8 (which is crazy early, but whatever). Looking at my chart, I think I O'd on CD 11. I missed three days of temping because we moved and I lost my BBT. We only had sex 3 times this cycle and I have no idea if the timing was good. Maybe I'm too burnt out to care. POAS this moning, BFN.

GTKY: Her stuffed kitty is "Kitty" and our pet kitties are "kitty-kitty." Butterflies are "flyflys" and most bugs are " 'piders"

Quoting myself because no sooner do I say that and the next night he sleeps all the way through and decides he doesn't need a wake up session, making it just twice.

Haha, well assuming he starts to consistently drop that third session, hopefully that will help jump start things for you!

[smores]

judyblume14 - I think FF is drunk. I don't think you O'ed on CD 8. I would guess either CD 13 or CD 16. It's a little hard to tell with the missing temps though.

You just never know with nursing. My guy still nurses 8 or so times a day/bedshares with us and it randomly came back. I just kept telling myself it's my body's way of letting me know these babies need to be spaced out a bit more. I hope yours comes back soon though. Being in limbo still sucks.

[daisylola11]

DS is 21 months

Circumstances: temping this cycle, starting actively TFAS next cycle.

CD/DPO: 11

RRCS: these damn allergies have sabotaged a few nights sleep, I can't sleep soundly if I can't breath through my nose but I'm sure I will still see O with FF.

Getting impatient I can't wait till next cycle!

GTKY: LO insists horses are "neeis" and he says dog real rasp, almost like he barks it lol
