TFAS Tuesday Check-in 7/19

[BabyStandish]

This check-in is for those of us who are trying for a sibling, or will be trying for a sibling soon.

Age of LO(s):

Cycle/Month:

CD/DPO:

RRCS:

GTKY: what's something that you're looking forward to teaching your LO(s) as they get older?

[amandamh2]

Age of LO: 15 months

Cycle/Month: Cycle 2/7

CD/DPO: CD 35

RRCS: Just trying to keep calm until I test. Trying not to read too much into being tired and having major cravings for chips (something I wolfed down during pregnancy but am usually pretty meh about).

GTKY: I really want to teach DS how to play soccer. It's a big part of my life and a bond I share with my dad so I'd love for them to play together too.

[ourcrazynavylife]

Age of LO(s): 18.5 months

Cycle/Month: 6/8

CD/DPO: 14

RRCS: looks like my body decided to mix things up again this cycle. If I put a dummy temp in for tomorrow it gives me CH on Sunday. That's the earliest O yet by A LOT. So fx for that.

GTKY: what's something that you're looking forward to teaching your LO(s) as they get older?

I want to teach her how to play sports sooo bad. That was a huge part of my childhood with my mom. I remember how much time my mom devoted to teaching me how to play. Really hoping for softball but I'll be happy with whichever she chooses.

[BabyStandish]

Age of LO(s): 18 months

Cycle/Month: 3/4

CD/DPO: 26/6

RRCS: just trying to avoid the crazy train. I feel myself already getting my hopes up.

GTKY: what's something that you're looking forward to teaching your LO(s) as they get older? Definitely sports. I can't wait to teach him soccer and basketball. Sports was such a big part of my childhood and I'm hoping that he takes to it too. I really bonded with my Dad when he taught and coached me.

[BabyStandish]

ourcrazynavylife my body O'd early this cycle as well. I'm hoping it becomes a regular thing. Fx for you.

amandamh2 FX for you when you test.

[Deleted]

Age of LO(s): 3.75 year old DS

Cycle/Month: 6 / 12

CD/DPO: 18/wto

RRCS: DS is sick with a cold, and it is miserable hearing him coughing at night and knowing that there isn't much you can do.

GTKY: what's something that you're looking forward to teaching your LO(s) as they get older?

I look forward to him learning French in school and helping him to use it.

[rosey06]

Age of LO(s): 3.5 4 in just 2 months and it makes me alittle sad!

Cycle/Month: 3/3 of actual charting after 7/7 of winging it with crossed fingers

CD/DPO: 2 womp womp

RRCS: every cycle that ticks away is one month closer to him being 5 when another baby is born. My sister and I are 6 yrs apart, it wasn't a big deal but just boo.

GTKY: what's something that you're looking forward to teaching your LO(s) as they get older? Not so much ME teach him. But I feel like he's going to do great academically and I'm excited to help him. Annnnd I'll throw in sports. I def can't help him lol but excited to fill wkends with games etc

[rosey06]

Good luck BabyStandish and amandamh2!

And fx ourcrazynavylife!

[jax1182014]

Age of LO: 20 months

Cycle/Month: 8

CD/DPO:26/maybe 8... FF was never able to pick up on temp cuz it was all over the place.

RRCS: cramping and spotted a few days ago. Pretty sure CD 1 is coming tomorrow or the next day

GTKY: I'm looking forward to teaching DD how to be a good person

[charliefox]

amandamh2, how long are your cycles typically? Are you tracking anything (temp, cm, etc)? FX for you!
ourcrazynavylife, BabyStandish, and jax1182014, do you have charts we can stalk?


Age of LO(s): 10 months yesterday!

Cycle/Month: TTA

CD/DPO: n/a

RRCS: I'm trying to get back to temping in order to prepare (and so we don't have to use condoms all month) but I cannot for the life of me remember to take my temp in the morning. I'd hate to have to set my alarm since we just got DS sleeping through the night but I might have to. Funny how I temped for over 2 years and 10 months off and I've forgotten all about it.

GTKY: what's something that you're looking forward to teaching your LO(s) as they get older? To bake! I used to run a bakery out of my home, I love it, and I cannot wait to share that with DS. I've baked a lot with kids that I've nannied or babysat and it's so much fun!

My Chart

ETA: I discarded the one temp because I had been drinking and it was taken like two hours later than my normal wake up.

It does look like you O'd, I would guess maybe CD13 instead but it doesn't matter much. I guess tomorrow's temp will confirm!

Yeah, those temps are crazy, other signs are promising though. Hope CD1 stays away, and (at the very least) gives you a longer LP.

If this cycle isn't the one I really hope your O continues this early! 

[charliefox]

ourcrazynavylife, I just saw today's temp - what a mind fck!

[irish14]

Age of LO(s): 1.5

Cycle/Month: 4/6, 1 AL

CD/DPO: CD 8 (TTA for now)

RRCS: *trigger warning* OB sent me to genetics for a consult, and they were like, yeah, so your mc's were likely random, so we're not doing a latitude. So that's good. I hope they're right. Since we're taking the summer off from TTC, I'm just trying to get into the habit of temping - this is my first cycle doing it. We'll see if I get any sort of pattern, I have no idea what to expect but it's nice to have some data. Also nice to be out of the woods and actually cycling again.

GTKY: what's something that you're looking forward to teaching your LO(s) as they get older? My football team's fight song!! Also to ride a bike, it's such a standard but awesome childhood thing.

[andtheheartbreakers]

Age of LO(s): 10 months old!

Cycle/Month: 1/1

CD/DPO: CD8

RRCS: Just waiting for MH to be back home, and thankful his time away fell during the start of my cycle. I'm still so nervous that we're TFAS but also so ready. It's funny how the first time it taking 6 months felt like forever, but now I'd be ok if it took 6 months again.

GTKY: what's something that you're looking forward to teaching your LO(s) as they get older? Music! MH and I are building a dedicated sound proof music room in our new house and we have so many instruments for DD to choose from and I can't wait to share our love of music with her.

[amandamh2]

charliefox, I'm still learning my new "normal" since this is only my second PP cycle (breastfeeding kept my cycles away for a long time). Pre-pregnancy I had 28 day cycles. I don't track anything other than cycle day.

Gotcha. I get it, after a few PP cycles I'm just dipping my toes into charting again, I couldn't handle not having all the information! Haha. 

[ourcrazynavylife]

charliefox yea I'm not buying it. I have a fakeout surge almost every cycle. Just not usually accompanied with random high temps.

[jlincoln]

Age of LO(s): 19 mos

Cycle/Month: 1/1

CD/DPO: 17/2

RRCS: If going by OPKs, this was my earliest O date in a long time. Wondering if the previous loss was a factor. Who knows. I have like zero hope, but we will see.

GTKY: what's something that you're looking forward to teaching your LO(s) as they get older? How to throw a ball and play soccer (which she's actually already started).

[jlincoln]

amandamh2 - soccer is a big part of my life and a bond with my dad too!
ourcrazynavylife - I O'd a lot earlier this cycle too...wonder what's up??
BabyStandish - FX, it's so hard to stay off the crazy train!
@sparky85 - I hope your lo gets better soon.

[cheezee]

Age of LO(s): 4

Cycle/Month: 14/15

CD/DPO: CD15

RRCS: I booked DD's 5th birthday party yesterday. Can't believe that.

GTKY: what's something that you're looking forward to teaching your LO(s) as they get older? I'd like to teach her to have a good work ethic. I want her to have a little part time job in high school and learn that responsibility.

I started working at 15 1/2 years old. I think its great to work on the weekends in high school. It's certainly nice to have pocket cash and it teaches responsibility
