There isn't a thread yet.
I'm home watching football alone. DD was up from 3-6 last night. It was rough.
Last night after I told DH I was starting my period, he talked about trying in 2 weeks. I thought we were going to wait another month, and got excited, and nervous, if I'm being honest. But then we were talking about trying to go to Mexico in October. I got bad anxiety thinking about Zika. Obviously if the trip happens, we will not try this month. I will always partially blame myself for our first loss, I could never risk this, even though the chances of us conceiving on our first cycle is super small. Sorry, I'm rambling, but I guess I'm just a little nervous about what Zika really means now that we will be actively TTC again.

5 losses (2003, 2008, 03/12, 11/12, & 10/16) All RPL testing by several REs = all normal
All IF testing by several REs = all normal 5 IUIs (2014) = BFN
IVF#1 Feb '15= BFP! U/S 04/01 = 6w5d, HR 125!, SCH measuring 2cm U/S 04/06 = 7w5d, HR 165!, SCH measuring 4cm NT scan = 13w2d, SCH no longer visible Anatomy scan = Team green . All looks great! Rainbow born on 11/22/15, team pink!
We had talked about trying in "the fall" but I just don't know if I'm there yet.
I miss being pregnant, I love having a baby etc. but I feel like I'd like a bit more time with just G. I would also like to do a few little things around the house and save a bit of money. So we discussed and I think we'll wait a couple more months and then try. I'm also terrified because G has been such a wonderful baby. I'm scared how the next one will be with sleeping, behavior, eating. My dads even commented saying "I wonder how they'll handle a 'normal' baby?"

Lots going on here!!
I went to the biannual consignment sale on base. Got DD1s whole fall/winter/spring wardrobe, 2 pairs of winter boots and 2 pairs of shoes for her, 2 pairs of maternity jeans and 3 maternity shirts for me, some toys for the kids including a game that was brand new so I'm putting it away for Christmas; all for $56.
Today we're going apple picking and doing a corn maze with DD2's Godparents. My sister is down this weekend too which is nice.
We got an "offer" on the house which was a major low ball. We've been going back and forth with them trying to make both of us happy. I don't mind taking a small loss on what we were hoping to get but they want us out Oct 14th and we don't have a house to go to yet so I'd like some buffer money if we have to rent a place out there for a few months. DH is making it emotional and wanting to just throw the house at them because he wants us to be together again. I get that, but thinking logically about where we will be living in 6 weeks and not having an answer for me is not good enough. I'd rather lose this offer and stress while living in a stable house for my children. So as far as I'm concerned they can walk if they want.
Zika is no joke, that would be on my mind too. I'm jealous of ladies thinking about trying lol
I know! And though I've read that if you get zika while not pregnant, it won't effect future pregnancy, I still worry that they just don't know yet! It feels like such a scary burden on women; men just get flu like symptoms, women a possibly terrible condition effecting your offspring. Just so scary.

Also last night was #1 of Ferber. It was hard! She woke at 1:30. DH tried first and just basically cuddled with her while she stood. I was there this week and knew it was time to do it correctly so I kicked DH out and took over. It took 30 mins of her crying and me periodically checking in but eventually she did fall asleep!

Zika scares the crap out of me too. We will be moving to southern Texas next year and it scares me enough I probably won't spend much time outside. If I do, I will be covered in bugs pray.
Side note: I found bracelets that repel bugs for children. They aren't suppose to be worn if the child is under 5 but I hooked one to the stroller and to my belt loop and it worked great for the baby that way.
I am going all the way to Birmingham Al for a second opinion on my "lactating adenoma." Hopefully, that is all it truly is. I just can't move forward with another pregnancy until I have had it thoroughly checked out. My biggest fear is that it could be ductal carcinoma and find out after I get pregnant and then have no way of treating the cancer. Anyways, once I know for sure, we will start TTC again. It will be around Christmas when we start instead of November. We would be moving right at the time I would deliver if we got pregnant in November and I don't want to be moving with a newborn.

@idubhawksfan watch out what you wish for 😉 My N15 was conceived 2ish weeks after my first ppp with DD1 (she was almost 11 months, just like DD2 is now!) Gah that seems totally insane we thought we were ready for more.... The first 6 months of 2u2 was quite a doozy!
Zika scares me, too. I wouldn't mess around with it. I'm actually kind of relieved that we won't have any more kids, but just because I don't want anymore, but I also feel like the list of concerns and precautions needed keeps on growing.

It took nearly 2 years and a RE to get KU with DD, so while I know anything can happen, I'm not placing any bets. I know it would be crazy, but would love if God lets us expand our family so quickly.
I'm kind of relieved to hear I'm not the only one totally nervous about Zika.

Even though in my mind I don't want to start TTC until next year, I put the kibosh on DH's idea of going down to Miami for our anniversary next month because of Zika. We're not going anywhere south of VA until I've delivered my future baby.

I was there this week and knew it was time to do it correctly so I kicked DH out and took over. It took 30 mins of her crying and me periodically checking in but eventually she did fall asleep!
Of course she is still up at 6:30. Send coffee
That's awesome! We did Ferber a few months ago and had some success, but ultimately it didn't work for us. Granted, it may have been the constant interruptions thanks to ear infections, but I don't know.
We started full-extinction CIO this weekend. I've been sick (yay, strep & HFM) so going in at night to check him was going to be crazy anyway. Luckily, so far, he's stopped crying after about 10 minutes each night, although he takes like 2 hours to lay down and sleep.
As in, he falls asleep SITTING UP. Starts falling, wakes up, resettles. Sitting up. Rinse & repeat for 2 hours until he FINALLY crashes.
I really hope tonight he gives up and lays down sooner.

Lol it sounds like progress!! I'm glad it's working ok for you guys!! It has gone so much better for us than we expected. I wonder how much of it is her age and maturity, or if we should have tried it much earlier.
