Cycle/Month:
CD/DPO:
RRCS:
GTKY: If you could travel to another time period for a day (without affecting the present/future), to "when" would you travel? Why?

[saltandvinegar]

Age of LO(s): DS will be 18 months this week. 
Cycle/Month: 6
CD/DPO: 22/3dpo maybe? 
RRCS: My sitter was sick yesterday so I took a day off of work and went to an indoor playground with DS & treated myself to breakfast & a PSL. It was so much better than going to work!
GTKY: This was my question and I'm not even sure how to answer it. I think I would go to the 20s because I think it would be fun to visit a speakeasy. 

[euphony]

Age of LO(s): 1 year

Cycle/Month: 2/2

CD/DPO: 1/0

RRCS: Back after a CP, but not feeling down, my friends. It is early in this journey yet.

GTKY: If you could travel to another time period for a day (without affecting the present/future), to "when" would you travel? Why? Nope. It's a trap. Say no to time travel. The only thing I would love to solve some kind of a mystery, but can't even think of a good one.

Thanks for starting!
Age of LO: 22 months
Cycle/Month: 11
CD/DPO: 22/9
RRCS: I think my period is coming and I'm feeling down :/
GTKY: I'd go back to the 70's Love the music and the clothes

[saltandvinegar]

euphony, - Sorry to see you back here but I'm glad you are staying positive. FX you have a short stay!

[saltandvinegar]

jax1182014, - Sorry you are feeling down. I'm on CD 22 too and my temps looked like I either didn't O or O'd late... I hate the waiting game.

Age of LO(s): 10.5 months

Cycle/Month:1/1

CD/DPO: 11

RRCS: of course our first cycle trying my temps are wacky. They are higher than normal for pre-o, but I didn't get CHs, so I'm still just chugging along. DH is super into it. I mean, he is asking about my temps and ovulation. It's surprising because I'm just going with the flow, mainly because I'm pessimistic that we would even get pregnant soon.

GTKY: If you could travel to another time period for a day (without affecting the present/future), to "when" would you travel? Why? I don't know. I think I might be another vote for the 20s. I love the style and think it would be interesting to see it first hand.

[jax1182014]

euphony.. Sorry to see you back but you have a great perspective

[amyface813]

Age of LO(s): 21ish months
Cycle/Month: 5
CD/DPO: 3
RRCS: temping is so difficult when your alarm clock is a toddler. I keep forgetting...
GTKY: If you could travel to another time period for a day (without affecting the present/future), to "when" would you travel? I would really like to see the dinosaurs so 20 million years or so. Why? Because dinosaurs. I'm not sure how I would protect myself from them but this is fantasy so I do what I want!

[rosey06]

Age of LO(s): 4 on Saturday
Cycle/Month: 4/5 (first after a loss)
CD/DPO: 24
RRCS: decided not to wait for my first period after the loss but apparently my body is playing games
GTKY: If you could travel to another time period for a day (without affecting the present/future), to "when" would you travel? Why? 70s just cause it looked fun

[rosey06]

Sorry for your loss euphony

[Deleted]

Age of LO(s): DS who will be 4 tomorrow!

Cycle/Month: 7/14

CD/DPO: 12

RRCS: DS is 4 tomorrow, I can't believe it! DH reminded me today that 4 years ago I went shopping one day over due, with mild contractions, and didn't tell him until after we ate supper. I still stand by my decision, since it was a while before I got out completely alone again, lol!

GTKY: If you could travel to another time period for a day (without affecting the present/future), to "when" would you travel? Why?

I have been watching a TV show called " back in time for dinner", which is making me think that the mid to late sixties would be cool.

[cheezee]

saltandvinegar Gotta love an unexpected day off!
euphony sorry for your loss.
jax1182014 sorry you're feeling down. Don't count yourself out yet!
ldubhawksfan I get a big kick out of H asking me about my temps. Bless their little hearts!

RRCS: Just chugging along after our first IUI. Will get a progesterone check in a few days and then impatiently wait some more.

Age of LO(s): 2
Cycle/Month: 4
CD/DPO: 33/15
RRCS: I have never had a period this late other than when I was pregnant but took a FRER his afternoon (dumb shouldn't have POAS in the morning, I know). BFN but no period.
GTKY: If you could travel to another time period for a day (without affecting the present/future), to "when" would you travel? Why?

Ooh. Good question. I would say the 1950s. I'm sure they were oppressive but I have always been obsessed with the simplicity of it all.

[agm04]

jax1182014 i'm sorry you're feeling down. hugs.
cheezee crossing everything for you! the waiting has to be so tough.

Age of LO(s): 19 months
Cycle/Month: 6
CD/DPO: 14 and either waiting for O or 1-2 DPO. OPKs make me think still waiting, temps and CM make me think maybe 1-2 DPO. We shall see.
RRCS: Sometimes I wish I could have DH's confidence (not only in the context of TTC, just life). He's like "We'll get pregnant this month for sure." Whereas I'm sure I'm jinxing us if I believe that, even though I want to be positive. I think I've just seen to much.
GTKY: I always think things seem so simple in westerns. Not easy, but simple. DH likes to remind me that people died really young back then, so maybe I'll just stay in 2016.

Age of LO(s):7.5 yrs and 2.5 yrs
Cycle/Month:6/5
CD/DPO:CD 10
RRCS: All of my mom friends who have said they wanted to get pregnant this year are officially pregnant except me. I'm considering a December cut off. There are things we want to do, places we want to go. I'm feeling guilty about not fully appreciating the time I have with the kids I do have. I don't know, too soon to tell.
GTKY: If you could travel to another time period for a day (without affecting the present/future), to "when" would you travel? Why?
I want to live a day in a sexy, turn of the century romance. Or being super rich in the 20s, Rockefeller or bust. Or Woodstock '69.

I had these feelings too and then I felt horrible. Instead of just enjoying time with DS I was thinking about #2 .  I am making an effort to push the "I'm the only one not pregnant" thoughts from my mind and have fun with my little guy now.

Future - just want to make sure everything is okay.

[rangie]

Hi, I'm kinda new.... or over here from the May 17 BMB after a CP. I'm sorry for yours euphony, and thanks for sharing your positive energy about it.

Age of LO(s): 2.75 years
Cycle/Month: 2/2, first after CP
CD/DPO: 1DPO
RRCS: I can't find anywhere what RRCS means? So I'll just use this space to say we tried on -4 and -1 (the day of positive OPK) and I'm worried that it wasn't enough and also a little bit ok with that because maybe we were both needing space after the loss. The loss was hard because we GKU on the first try and were so optimistic. Now there is a little disappointment mixed in.
GTKY: If you could travel to another time period for a day (without affecting the present/future), to "when" would you travel? Why? I'd like to look around in Outlander time, just for a day.

[cheezee]

rangie welcome! RRCS stands for rants, raves and chart stalks! So pretty much anything goes there!

[saltandvinegar]

rangie, Welcome. Sorry to hear about your CP.

[jax1182014]

Hi rangie! Sorry about your CP :/

[pearlvirus]

Age of LO(s): 2.5y and 10m
Cycle/Month: TTA
CD/DPO: CD3, yuck
RRCS: We are moving and DH has some huge work stress at the same time, so we're feeling overwhelmed a lot right now. He keeps saying "2 might be enough" but then he gets all mushy about cuddling and new squishy baby burritos and how much he loves playing with our daughters.... so I don't really believe him. It's a little annoying because I think as soon as some of this other stuff eases, he'll be on baby train, big time.
GTKY: If you could travel to another time period for a day (without affecting the present/future), to "when" would you travel? Why? Dunno, I want to think of something important but I kinda just want to go out for a drink or whatever 😉 with my mom in the 70s, lol.
