[babys2015]

I wanted to introduce myself if that's ok w you guys.

H and I had a long road ttc our twin boys. It took 4 months, 2 failed iui's, one successful IVF treatment that ended in a mmc at 9 weeks, one failed FET and finally a successful transfer of two embies during our second FET.

I have my doubts whether I'll get pregnant naturally, (MFI) but I'm here to try anyways! We have one embryo left and may go back to it at some point but for now we'll just have some fun! So hi, I hope you'll have me!

Age of lo's: 17 months

How long TFAS: I've been off bc since the boys were 6 months but just started paying attention to ovulation signs this month

DPO: 6

RRCS: not much to report

Teacher memory: my memory is so terrible that I don't remember ANY of my teachers names! I do remember one teacher who likes to eat fresh tomatoes like an apple..he'd sprinkle salt all over it..

Age of LO(s): 2.5


Cycle/Month: 16/15


CD/DPO: 25/10


RRCS: Not GKU but potty training sucks when you have one party not on board with the plan. DD has been doing pretty good at home and at school with potty training. My parents watch DD twice a week and my mom refuses to put DD in panties and will only use pull-ups. If DD has a pull-up on, she will use it and won't go on the potty most of the time. My mom "doesn't want to pressure her" and says "she'll use the potty when she's ready." DD knows what to do and can do it but she does not like taking time out of her day to use the potty and is fine going in pull-ups. She needs to be pushed at this point. I really think my mom wants to keep DD a baby (she also still feeds her baby food fruit at breakfast and lunch which is another battle I've been losing.) I appreciate the free childcare but this is getting to me.


GTKY: In honor of school starting - who was your favorite teacher and why? My 11th grade Spanish teacher Senor Lopez. He was just the happiest little old man and made learning Spanish fun. I still see him around town 20 years later. He is near 90 now and has slowed down a lot but he is still the happiest and friendliest person around.

Age of LO(s): 18 months today (sniff)

Cycle/Month: 3/2

CD/DPO: 9

RRCS: I have an appt with the dr tomorrow to ask if I should be addressing my seemingly short LP. Otherwise just waiting to stop spotting...over it.

GTKY: In honor of school starting - who was your favorite teacher and why? I was fortunate to have lots of excellent teachers. My favorite was probably my 6th grade science teacher, who was also my cheerleading coach, a youth counselor at my church, and my confirmation sponsor. So smart, so sweet, such a great person.

[agm04]

sleepymonkey free childcare is nice, but it's beyond frustrating when they seem to purposely do things differently from the way you ask. my MIL does this constantly, and it makes me cuh-razy. (yesterday she gave DD gatorade in her water cup AGAIN, which leads to meltdowns and DD asking for "coke" when I get home. sooo fun.) sorry you're dealing with it.

[BabyStandish]

babys2015 welcome!

[cheezee]

Age of LO(s): 5 in 3 months 😭
Cycle/Month: 15/16

CD/DPO: CD 19

RRCS: I would just like to O already. Officially the last cycle before we'll move on to clomid and IUIs. I keep getting moments of hope that we may be able to do this but it doesn't last long. Ready to move on to the big guns.

GTKY: In honor of school starting - who was your favorite teacher and why? I can't remember her name but I had the best teacher for my co-op class senior year in HS. We would get early release because we were required to have a job for the class and would only meet a few days a week. It was just nice to have someone hold us accountable for having a good work ethic and when we would have class it was like a home ec class. We'd cook and made t-shirt quilts and did all sorts of fun stuff.

[jax1182014]

sleepymonkey- Free child care is great, but I think I would get frustrated with all that too. My parents watch DD and sometimes I'm like.. What were you guys thinking?! I haven't had to have any real serious convos with them about anything yet. Have you tried talking to your mom? I know a lot of people say their moms do whatever they won't no matter what, which I think can be tough. Any tips on potty training though?

cheezee- last cycle before interventions?? Are you nervous/excited? Also, is your LO a November baby??

[cheezee]

jax1182014 yes and yes! Super nervous but excited. We did clomid and TI with DD and it worked well so I'm hopeful this does the trick fast.

[jax1182014]

DD is November too! The 8th. Good luck the next few months! cheezee

[irish14]

Will have to come back and tag because mobile...

Age of LO(s): 20 mos

Cycle/Month: ?/6ish - 1 AL

CD/DPO: CD9

RRCS: not much here.

(Trigger)
We're waiting another month to let my body get its shit back together after back to back mc's. I'm feeling a lot better about jumping in again for #2 so
(End)

just working on temping regularly and enjoying summer. DS loves to play with my thermometer, which I find pretty funny. Also this weekend we had house guests with 2 kids. DH was a rockstar with all the kids. It made me both excited and terrified to add to our mix.

GTKY: In honor of school starting - who was your favorite teacher and why? Tough. I loved one of my American democracy professors in college, he was always super engaging. Also my 8th grade science teacher, who managed to make everything fun but still educational, and also work in useful life tips.

[Deleted]

Age of LO(s): 3.75 year old DS

Cycle/Month: 6/13

CD/DPO: 53

RRCS: next week is vacation! I can't wait to get away with my family for a whole week!

GTKY: In honor of school starting - who was your favorite teacher and why?

I liked most of my teachers, but I'm really glad I had one that taught old fashioned drafting. I had no idea what it was, but I really liked it and it gave me the push to look into how I could use it for a job. Through the years at university my degree changed a bit, but I don't think I would've chosen engineering without the hands on experience in grade 9.

[mambo]

Age of LO(s): 2 and almost 4


Cycle/Month: waiting for a period then starting month one


CD/DPO: good question 2 weeks post mirena removal



RRCS: it's been a fucking day of a fucking week and it's only fucking Tuesday. I need a vacation


GTKY: In honor of school starting - who was your favorite teacher and why? Why you gotta try to make me pick one?! Mrs. Compton taught me sixth grade and was amazing she was pregnant that year with twins and taught us rolling around the room in her chair and she was hilarious and amazing and I wish I still knew her. I know my high school teachers well still

[obscurereference]

Hi ladies. I would like to intro and participate in here as well. Hope that's ok! We just started TTC #4.

Age of LO(s): 4, 2, and 8 months.

Cycle/Month: 2/2

CD/DPO: CD 12. Currently WTO. I'm not planning on temping just yet, just getting a feel for how this is going to go this time around.


RRCS: I've been fighting a cold for going on 3 weeks. Everyone in my house is or has been sick for weeks. I just love back to school sick...

GTKY: In honor of school starting - who was your favorite teacher - I had a lot of favorites, mostly in HS. I had a really great history/political science teacher and I loved my English teacher. I think I had them both twice. Also had a couple really cool PE teachers.

[hoosiermama76]

Can I join in and intro? I am mainly on the 35+ TTC. I'm a 40 year old mom of a 2 year old DD. When we conceived when I was 37, we had sex once and now, it's not coming as easily.

I'm CD 26, and our timing was -1,0, and +1

[hoosiermama76]

Oops. I accidentally pushed send.

Cycle 3

I'm currently in the TWW after hitting it hard after some positive OPKs. I'm trying not get that excited since I feel like AF is almost in town. I'm going to be heartbroken.

[savigirl]

Sorry for your loss irish14

Goodluck ladies starting medicated cycles

Welcome to those new to TFAS

AFM: I've been Lurking but not posting for the past cycle bc we were tta for medical reasons and I got super sick for two weeks. I didn't have anything to contribute but today is cd1 so I'd like to come back!

Cycle/month:8/8

Cd:1

SS is 16, SD 11, DD2

RRCS: feeling very disheartened bc MH works OOT and just told me he'll probably have to be away for work for sept FW.

GTKY: one university professor was super encouraging and inspiring. Nice to see her still carrying on her positivity with current students.

Edited to fix key words.

[hoosiermama76]

I'm out this month. So bummed. We had great timing and I know I was ovulating. My heart is broken but I have to go on and keep trying.

[bradysalon]

Age of LO(s): 10 months

Cycle/Month: 4


CD/DPO: 17



RRCS: I think I O'd today. If I did, we had good timing. I hope I have another temp spike in the morning. I hope this is our month but I'm almost nervous at the same time.


GTKY: In honor of school starting - who was your favorite teacher and why

My kindergarten teacher, my elementary school music teacher and my honors English high school teacher were all my favorite and are the reason I am now a teacher.

[irish14]

hoosiermama76 sorry about this month

[jax1182014]

@hoosiersmama76 I LT's for you trying to stay positive and keep trying. I'm sorry you are heartbroken at CD 1. It can be very upsetting. (Just wanted to clarify my LT:)

[hoosiermama76]

Thanks, irish14 and jax1182014

I'm better today. I think it's because I'm 40. I'm just going to go at it again and pray:-)

[honda13]

hoosiermama76, hugs mama.

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): 15 months


Cycle/Month: Zero I guess. Waiting for AF after loss.


CD/DPO: CD 31/5 DPO



RRCS: Waiting on my period after loss and then we can start trying again. I'm ridiculously excited I got cross hairs on my chart! Hopefully that means my body is getting into the swing of things again.


GTKY: In honor of school starting - who was your favorite teacher and why? My mom taught at my high school, but I was not her student. Can I pick her? lol.

[jax1182014]

honda13 so exciting about the CH on FF! Good luck this cycle.. So sorry for your loss:( I had a CP in February.. It's really heartbreaking

I believe you can get help sooner rather than later if you are 40. I feel like I read somewhere that you could get a work up for 3months. Worth checking out
