Age of LO(s): 16 months

Cycle/Month: 2/2

CD/DPO: cd5

RRCS: my 46 day cycle finally ended! I'm feeling strangely hopeful this cycle. I put too much trust in FF last cycle so I'm going to be more skeptical this time around. I got a bunch of OPK's from an awesome TCF friend so I'm excited to start using them and hopefully I can get clear results from them since my body still isn't giving clear signs.

GTKY: What nicknames do your LO(s) have? Benji and sometimes I call him monkey or pumpkin, but not too often.

[ladytiffany24]

Age of LO(s): 22 months

Cycle/Month: 7/7 (2AL)

CD/DPO: CD18

RRCS: Awaiting a couple more high sustained temps to confirm O was on Monday. Well, that's what FF will say. I still feel like I O'd on Sunday. But we have good timing either way so I don't really care.

GTKY: What nicknames do your LO(s) have? We used a shortened version of her name all the time. But also, nugget and buttercup are big ones.

Age of LO(s): 20 months

Cycle/Month: 10/10. I was just about to call my OBGYN office to discuss the steps in getting set up with an RE, however,

RRCS: I'm KU, ladies! I think most of you saw on the TWW, but I just wanted to give an extra special hug to this this weekly thread for keeping me sane. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

GTKY: What nicknames do your LO(s) have? just Lu.

[BabyStandish]

judyblume14 congrats again!! Hope you have a boring 9 months ahead of you

Congrats judyblume14

Age of LO(s): 1 year

Cycle/Month: 1

CD/DPO: CD15

RRCS: I basically have no idea if I ovulated or not yet...but I'm not really tracking anything. I can roughly go off symptoms and CM but I don't temp (because I work nights). My cycles are about 28-30 days so I just basically plan on waiting and seeing what happens. And we just have sex when we feel like it...when I'm actually home the same nights as DH.

GTKY: What nicknames do your LO(s) have? K bear, Kin, Kins, bubs.

CD/DPO: CD27/ 2DPO? Maybe

RRCS: I'm happy it looks like my O date is coming back to a more "normal" time but I'm pretty bummed we missed with our timing.

GTKY: What nicknames do your LO(s) have?
She has a lot !!! Haha
Pooka, Sweet tater, Peanut, BooBoo Bear, Little Bear, and Sassafras. I'm sure there's more lol but those are all I can think of right now.

RRCS: I better freaking O soon. That is all.

GTKY: What nicknames do your LO(s) have? We call her by shorter versions of her name. I also call her love bug a lot too.

RRCS: :deep breath: *probably should put triggers here*

Y'all, I have so many feels about TFAS. DS was conceived when we were TTA and I really, really struggled with seeing a positive test. I did not want to be pregnant or have a baby and it was a huge emotional hurdle for me. Now, I can't imagine life without him, we are trying for another when he's only 18 months, etc, etc. But this is the first time I'm trying to *get* pregnant.

I'm scared. I'm scared that it's going to take a while. If we hit this first cycle, then I will test while we are on vacation with DH's family and we've decided that we would announce pretty much that same day. They aren't local to us so that's our one chance to announce in person. I have a lot of hope that it will work out that way, but I know it might not.

I'm scared about losing a baby. I'm not naive to the statistics anymore and know that miscarriages are common. I don't know what that would do to me.

I'm scared that for some reason we won't be able to get pregnant. There are zero indications that point that direction, but you never know. I have a friend whose first kiddo wasn't planned, and now they are dealing with secondary IF.

I'm also scared that I'll get KU the first cycle and become *that* chick that can get pregnant without even trying, then get pregnant again at her convenience.

Then there are all of the fears that come with actually being pregnant. Having horrible ms again, while taking care of a toddler, labor, recovery, etc.

So yeah. This is the right time for our family, I'm pretty dang proud of ourselves for actually successfully avoiding this time around, I want DS to have a sibling, etc, etc. But I'm nervous. I'm writing this year since a lot of these feelings are tied up with how I felt when I turned a test with DS... I might keep using this check-in as a place to talk, so let me know if I'm stepping on toes or feelings.

GTKY: What nicknames do your LO(s) have? Munchkin, Mister, Kiddo, Dude, Mr. Naked Dude (when applicable), Goofy, Goober.

[savigirl]

Yay! judyblume14

Sorry ourcrazynavylife


Copied from wto:

Lo is 23 months

Cycle/month: 3

Cd:10

Wdtkku: temping, cm, pnv. Probably should use opk's in case dh gets home early from a work trip.

RRCS: dh is expected to be away for work until next Thursday so will probably miss my entire FW but holding out hope he may get home Sunday evening and catch a bit of the FW.....

LO is often called savi bear, sav, or savi

[BabyStandish]

wildflower810 I totally get all those feelings. Part of me was relieved that we didn't get pregnant on the first cycle last month because that's what happened to us with DS and I feel like we don't deserve that to happen to again and I would've felt very guilty. Now I'm unreasonably worried that we might have trouble conceiving. It's just a big mind f*ck this whole TTC thing.

Age of LO(s): 3.5 year DS

Cycle/Month: 5/10

CD/DPO: 16/wto

RRCS: I have been having ewcm for the past couple days, but now it is more like jelly (ie/ thick, but still a bit stretchy). I'm not sure what to classify it in ff, any thoughts?

GTKY: What nicknames do your LO(s) have? 
We used to give him nicknames, but now he tells us that they're not his name. My FIL calls him Homer, which DS thinks is hilarious though.

[MapleMomma]

wildflower810 I could have written that word for word. Totally understand.

Age of LO(s): 15 months

Cycle/Month: 3

CD/DPO: 2

RRCS: CD 2 after a 13 day cycle. Wtf pp body??

GTKY: What nicknames do your LO(s) have? Usually Jess, a shortened version of her name. We also call her Rue a lot. And Milk Breath sometimes.

[BabyStandish]

@sparky85 I would put ewcm, but put more details in your notes section about consistency.

[monicageller]

Congrats judyblume14 !!!!! Awesome news!!

Age of LO(s): 3.5 years

Cycle/Month: 1 cycle ttcal, started tfas 6 months ago

CD/DPO: 5

RRCS: Feeling pretty good that I finally got my period. I had my first period 4 weeks exactly after my D&C and then it was over 6 weeks before I got it again. So I'm really optimistic that I'm back on track and can ttc.

GTKY: What nicknames do your LO(s) have? Mostly we call him buddy, I call him stinky sometimes too. We refer to him as C, but don't usually call him that to his face.

[daisylola11]

judyblume14 congrats!!!!! H&H 9 months

[wildflower810]

Congratulations, judyblume14!!

[daisylola11]

DS is 21mon

Cycle/month: temping this first cycle then actively TFAS next cycle.

CD/DPO: 15

RRCS: well after wiping what can only be described as a fat loogie for two days i now feel cramps and my back hurts, could be a lot of things but may be O, hopefully cuz I'm ready to get this show on the road!


GTKY: buddy, son, bubs

[flyinghorses6]

BabyStandish wildflower810 I understand a lot of your feelings, but you should not feel guilty if you get pregnant easily. I don't think anyone would want that to be in your list of worries! There's enough to worry about without adding that to the list.

[smores]

Age of LO(s): 13 months

Cycle/Month: 1/1

CD/DPO: 27 / 1 or 2 (based on OPKs and secondary signs - not tempting)

RRCS: I've been so busy with work and DD I haven't had much time to TFC and that makes me sad. Last night I fell asleep right after I put DD to bed!

GTKY: I call her love buggy and "buh-ba" the most.

[smores]

BabyStandish - GL this cycle! Hope the OPKs help you get a clearer picture of when you O.

judyblume14 - Congratulations! Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months

wildflower810 - I know I can't speak for everyone, but I have no problem with you talking through all your feels in this thread. No matter where in the TTC journey someone is there are always a million different emotions, worries, excitements, fears, etc, that come along with it! Your feelings are all valid and honestly, aside from the fact that my first was planned, pretty much all of your points apply to me too!

@sparky85 - I read once, I think on FF, that if CM stretches an inch or more to classify it as Eggwhite, if it doesn't then go with one of the others (Creamy or Sticky).

[amandamh2]

Age of LO(s): 12.5 months

Cycle/Month: Cycle 1!

CD/DPO: CD 7

RRCS: AF finally came back! Things were pretty much exactly like my pre-baby and pre-BCP periods so I'm crossing my fingers that things will just go back to normal.

GTKY: T-man, T-baby, Mr. T, buddy, little man, mini man... he has a lot of nicknames
