TFAS 1/18

[kensie5226]

Age of LO(s): 14.5 months

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD/DPO: CD18

RRCS: We had bad timing this cycle. We BDed early on, but the LO got sick, MH's nephew came to visit, and we're just basically exhausted. Oh well, it's not like it maters at this point. We start our first medicated IUI next cycle, so I don't even care anymore. MH has to do his repeat SA Friday.

GTKY: So far the only thing she's into is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. It's a fine show, but after seeing the same ones a million times it can get a bit annoying.

[cnf2013]

Age: 14 months

Month/Cycle: 2/2 (1AL)

CD/DPO: CD6

RRCS: What a horribly ironic time for me to be teaching the menstrual cycle and the science of pregnancy. I also don't really plan to track my cycles this month. Whatever happens, happens.

GTKY: I'm super over MMCH.

[frecklesnbrains]

I think I can play here too! Quick intro: My DS is almost 8 months old and I'm a proud member of the TCF June '16 BMB. I'm also as old as dirt and don't expect to conceive quickly, which means we're jumping right back into the TTC game. We're NTNPing this cycle and will take it from there.

Age of LO(s): 5 days shy of 8 months.

Month/Cycle: first postpartum cycle

CD/DPO: CD8

RRCS: I got nothing today.

GTKY: Honestly, nothing. That's not because I'm a goody-goody mom who doesn't let her baby watch TV. It's more because DH and I aren't big TV people so it's never on. I'm sure that will change.

@thatgolfbitch, sorry your DD had to be hospitalized but glad it was brief! Also, jury duty is such a drag!

Age of LO(s): 4yr old DS

Month/Cycle: 9/18

CD/DPO: 32/6!!!!!

RRCS: I'm happy to have ovulated "early" for the third cycle in a row . I know that CD 26 isn't early for most people, but it is for me, and it is getting shorter slowly but surely.

GTKY: the strangest thing that DS watches are "how it's made videos" , mostly clips from the discovery channel show. Last nights was bacon. We have to be careful to make sure he doesn't click ones like hot dogs or condoms.

@thatgolfbitch I'm glad your dd is feeling better, it can be scary when they get that sick.

[obscurereference]

@thatgolfbitch Wow, eventful week! I'm glad your DD is on the mend and FX you just tested too early. A 3 week jury duty would be crazy! I have only been called once and I waived out because I stay at home. I've always wanted to sit on a trial though.

[obscurereference]

Are these supposed to be a Monday or Tuesday thread? I can help start, too if needed!

Age of LO(s): 4, 3, 1

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD/DPO: cd 15

RRCS: I have been like clockwork O'ing on cd15 the last 4 months, but not this month! No positive OPK in sight. Hope it's not too much longer. I'd rather have shorter cycles so we get more chances.

GTKY: I have to admit even when they are watching something, I don't pay any attention. DD1 finds all kinds of random shit on Netflix. Sometimes she watches a show called Larva. It's horrible and I strongly discourage it which usually works. But her Grammie thinks it's hilarious so it's a bit of an uphill battle.
Oh! And she also found some crazy live action mermaid show that's obviously made in Australia. It's....interesting.

[jax1182014]

I think they are supposed to be started on tuesdays (?) but we can do whatever works well for everyone!

@sparky85- maybe the acupuncture is helping?? Woho! I told my guy I'd give it 2 months, it's expensive :/

Age of LO: 2 yrs
Cycle/Month: 16th cycle :/
CD: 12
RRCS: this has been a bad month. After being in denial that something may be wrong, I finally got the courage to start the process of seeing a RE. Maybe nothing is wrong, but I guess it's good to get the workup. It may be something simple, who knows. I have a phone appointment with a case manager on Friday to start the process.
GTKY: actually I like a lot of stuff DD watches! lol I don't mind watching frozen 5 million times

[jax1182014]

How scary @thatgolfbitch. I hope DD is feeling better

Maybe the acupuncture is working. I've been in 9 or 10 times so far, and luckily it has been mostly covered by my insurance. I was going once a week before Christmas, but i've moved to every two weeks.

[obscurereference]

@imapenguin Man I miss curious George! That's what I put on if my kids are arguing about what they want to watch lol. For some reason I don't get tired of it and the movies are cute.

[cnf2013]

Glad your DD is better @thatgolfbitch

Yay for an early O @sparky85!

[RoLoMa]

Age of LO(s): 1.5 weeks away from 15 months

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 3/-- <------boo to that.

RRCS: We have the consultation scheduled with our RE for a couple weeks from now. I am really looking forward to moving on to testing and treatment cycles. I don't want to waste any more time. I wish we could do the testing a throw in a treatment cycle at the same time but I am 80% sure he won't go for that. Looks like it would most likely be March for the first cycle which would be 2 years from our first BFP cycle.

GTKY: He isn't really all that interested in TV but sometimes I will put on public television during their kid shows. Peg + Cat drives me pretty nuts because the stupid theme song gets stuck in my head.

[RoLoMa]

@thatgolfbitch, I had PJ Masks on randomly one day and H asked why those kids were dressed up as cats. I had no good explanation since I actually had no idea what the heck was going on.

[obscurereference]

RoLoMa You could have two December babies!!!
ETA: I remembered as soon as I hit post that M is not actually December lol. Close enough!

[sammysam]

Age of LO(s): DD will be 3 in one week!
Month/Cycle:1/1
CD/DPO:3/-
RRCS:I thought CD 1 was going to be last week...nope. It was 5 days later than expected. Good thing we didn't start trying last month or I would have been peeing on everything!
GTKY:She finds these videos on line where people have used Peppa pig figures to make their own videos. She likes the ones where Peppa cracks her head open on a water slide,George cracks his head open falling down the stairs and of course the one where Suzie gets locked in the washing machine. Not a fan. She always seems to find them as soon as I stop paying attention...

[sammysam]

@thatgolfbitch so sorry your DD was so sick! We're dealing with some sort of bug right now which is bad enough. I can't imagine how stressful it would be to see your LO hospitalized!

I was thinking that if we somehow conceived on this current cycle I could end up with two October babies.  (which, in theory if I got pregnant with another December baby could still happen!)  I keep figuring that whenever I am due I will most likely have a baby the month before.  But you were close, I could end up with two babies that were/are due in December.

Age of LO(s): 2-1/2

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: CD 12

RRCS: I got a very positive OPK this morning, wasn't expecting that until tomorrow or Friday but it was nice to have such an obvious positive. So I'm quickly heading into the TWW, I guess. Trying not to psych myself out this time.

GTKY: She doesn't watch anything that I dislike. I do have the MMC song stuck in my head now, which is pretty annoying though!

[missjenniebean]

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

GTKY question: What is the weirdest or most annoying thing your kid(s) watches?


Age of LO(s): 20 months

Month/Cycle: 2/?

CD/DPO: 9

RRCS: why am I so irritated this week?!

GTKY: she doesn't watch tv but my SO watches mark wein (he's a traveling foodie) and he's interesting but I can't stand his accent.

[ldubhawksfan]

I'm coming back....
Age of LO(s): 14 mo
Month/Cycle: -1 AL (I'm benched until I have my period) / 3 overall
CD/DPO: 12
RRCS: I'm not temping. I thought my dr wanted us benched for a cycle after my period returned, but at my FU from my d&c he said we can start trying right after my period comes. I'm kind of excited but want to make sure I'm emotionally ready.
GTKY question: What is the weirdest or most annoying thing your kid(s) watches? We don't watch a lot so maybe her baby signing time video. It has some cheesy songs!

[charliefox]

Age of LO(s): DS is 16 months today.

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: CD4

RRCS: This was the cycle (AL) that I got pregnant with DS...so the pressure is on.

GTKY: DS doesn't watch tv ::runsandhides::


ldubhawksfan - fuck. I'm so sorry for your loss.

cnf2013 I'm sorry you had to teach about that today. Big hugs.

I thought it would be harder, but the adorable bashful way that 13 year old olds ask about how babies are made is actually quite endearing. It's my favorite to teach, so I managed. Only two of my four classes asked about miscarriages, so mostly we talked about the science side of pregnancy.

I got the green light today at my appointment, but I'm concerned about if I'll be emotionally ready. That feels like a loaded decision to have to make. I hope you can figure out the right time for you. Hugs.

Age of LO(s): A is 3 & R is 21 months

Month/Cycle:3/4

CD/DPO:11/0

RRCS: none today

GTKY: The most annoying is Mother Goose Club. I used to love it when DS1 watched it but now DS2 only likes the first episode and will cry when it goes off. I'm so tired of watching the first episode. The weirdest is that they like that Babies documentary on Netflix where there is no commentary, just watching the babies. They love to watch it.

[obscurereference]

ldubhawksfan Hugs. I'm sorry you're back here so soon.

scoutradley My kids love to watch babies on tv, too. And they will oooo and ahhhhh over pictures of random babies as well. It's so funny.

DD loves watching babies too. Last time it went from a video of babies laughing to one of babies falling off things...which, of course, she loved and she cried when I shut it down. Why does my kid love watching people/things get hurt???

Needless to say I don't let her watch YouTube unsupervised anymore. We don't watch TV and she really only gets YouTube when I have marking to do...which is probably why she ends up watching things I would never actually let her watch...I try not to bring any marking home anymore:/

CD/DPO: CD 37, 11 DPO

RRCS: I tested yesterday morning with FMU and it was BFN. I know that was still early. I am going to try not to test today. I am pretty confident about O date because my OPKs were glaringly positive 2 days in a row. We had good timing. I've been sick this weekend with a cold so I can't tell if any "symptoms" I'm feeling are just part of that illness. I have been having PMS-like cramping since 8 dpo. Basically I am just playing the waiting game.

In non-TTC news, my life has been sort of ridiculous lately. DD got sick last week and ended up being hospitalized due to low oxygen saturation (dx was bronchiolitis). They kept her on oxygen for a while but she was admitted for less than 24 hours, so I am thankful for that. But we spent a full two days at urgent care/ the ER/ hospital. I stayed with her but my husband did a really good job of making sure we had everything we needed, and checked up on us between work. I missed 2.5 days of work for that, but fortunately I have an understanding boss. Another reason I am glad for an understanding boss- I might be picked for a 3 week jurt duty trial. They have been slowing cutting people of our group of 80, but I am still yet to be released. I find out tomorrow if I am picked.

So maybe since everything comes in threes, pregnancy will be the third thing in this trifecta? Here's hoping!

GTKY: Those damn toy videos. She loves the PJ Masks and Paw Patrol ones. I saw one where someone had put their heads on baby bottles?? WHY??? I should probably screen better.

Those damn toy videos is right.

Prayers for a speedy recovery and some baby dust!

I think my oldest watches them to get to me. He'll point and go "aw I want one of those mommy, ours is all grown up now". Sure kid, I'm trying.
