[citybee]

Age of LO(s): 4 and 2.

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 20/4

RRCS: My sleep has been pretty broken the last couple of weeks thanks to the kids waking in the night so my temps have been all over the place. I'm confident that I'm either 3 or 4 dpo.

GTKY: Do you make your bed every morning? (This was a topic of discussion amongst girlfriends this weekend.
I don't. I wish I was someone who did, but I sneak out of bed way before everyone in the mornings and by the time I'm getting everyone else in order for the day it's just not on my list of things to do.

[ajetter]

Age of LO(s): 6,4,19 months

Month/Cycle: 2/2 (3rd AL)

CD/DPO: CD1 can suck it.

RRCS: My PMS was off the charts this weekend. Sometimes I wonder if I fall into the PMDD category. Yesterday morning I was shaky and light headed and anxious and I can guarantee I was hydrated, not hungry and not overtired. I couldn't stop crying about everything. It was ridiculous. Trying to pull myself out of it and just wait for life to work out.

GTKY: Do you make your bed every morning? I try to, I definitely prefer it made. But sometimes it just doesn't happen.

RRCS: waiting on af (27 day cycles). Temp still up but BFN this morning. It's my birthday sooo I will def be have a few drinks at dinner with the girls.

GTKY: Do you make your bed every morning? (This was a topic of discussion amongst girlfriends this weekend. not immediately but by the end of the day I at least pull the blanket and sheets up.

[citybee]

Happy birthday @pippiann! And sorry about cd1 ajetter ☹️

[richaroodo]

Age of LO(s): 12, 10, 2, 11 months

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: ??

RRCS: I'm pretty sure I O'd this weekend based on CM but I haven't been really tracking since I'm seeing what my body does after my Mirena removal. This would be almost in line with the day after removal being cd1.

GTKY: Do you make your bed every morning? (This was a topic of discussion amongst girlfriends this weekend. Nope but I would like to. It just never happens.

[kensie5226]

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

Age of LO(s): 16 months

Month/Cycle: 8/8, 2nd medicated

CD/DPO: 4DPIUI

RRCS: We wait. My hopes and anxiety are up this time. MH's count was down.

GTKY: Do you make your bed every morning? (This was a topic of discussion amongst girlfriends this weekend.) Nope, I think it's a silly waste of time for something I'm just going to back into in the evening and no one sees.

[robotpcr]

Age of LO(s): 22 months (today!)

Month/Cycle: TTA the rest of this cycle and next

CD/DPO: 24/FF says 5, I say 6

RRCS: I O'd right on time and now waiting to see if my vitamin B supplement makes my LP any longer

GTKY: Do you make your bed every morning? No. I just can't be bothered.

[sammysam]

Age of LO(s): 3

Month/Cycle:3/3

CD/DPO: 11/--

RRCS: Nothing really. March break here so I'm just enjoying playing with DD.

GTKY: Yes! But only because I love getting into a bed that is made at bed time.

[charliefox]

Age of LO(s): 17.9999999 months

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD/DPO: CD4

RRCS: Just started a daily work out program to fix my diastasis recti, I feel like it's gotten worse over the last few months and it's really time to do something about it.

GTKY: Do you make your bed every morning? Yup! Our rule is that whoever get's up last has to make the bed. I love getting into a made bed at the end of the day.

[sven]

Age of LO(s): 17 months

Month/Cycle: 3

CD/DPO: 1

RRCS: Bad cold plus CD1. I ordered opks for this cycle and will start temping tomorrow. I have doubt that temping will work for me since I suck at sleeping, but it can't hurt to try. I think if I can get an exact o date that will help my tww crazies be calmer.

GTKY: Do you make your bed every morning? (This was a topic of discussion amongst girlfriends this weekend.
No I wish I would, because I love a made bed but I'm so lazy.

[scoutradley]

Age of LO(s): DS1 is 3 and DS2 is 23 months.

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 3/0

RRCS: my temps seems a little erratic. Definitely curious to see what happens this month with that.

GTKY: Do you make your bed every morning? (This was a topic of discussion amongst girlfriends this weekend.
I try to! Some days I rush out of the house and miss it though.

[babydsmama]

Age of LO: 21 months

Month/Cycle 6/6

CD/DPO: CD9

RRCS: I had always told DH that I didn't want to have a baby in Dec or January just bc holidays, but now that we're on month 6 I can't imagine not trying. Unfortunately, we're about 95% sure he will deploy in November for 9 months. I'm torn bc I don't want him to miss the birth, but waiting until he gets back would be a much larger age gap than we "planned." As much as you can plan as an Army family. 😕

GTKY: yesss I must make the bed. I can't get into an unmade bed!

[westiemom]

Age of LO: She is a week shy of 11 months

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: CD 9 or 10 (I couldn't decide if Day 1 was real or just spotting)

RRCS: I started my Clearblue OPKs today. It was negative this AM. I'm still BFing so I hope I am ovulating and not just having anovulatory periods.

GTKY: I make my bed every day unless I'm sick or something.

[scoutradley]

westiemom I read that cd1 is when you have your first day of steady bleeding? Correct me if I'm wrong y'all.

My issue is the steady bleeding started around 11pm. lol Go figure. I think I should probably just count the first day as spotting and the second day as CD 1.

CD/DPO: 17/3

RRCS: I've had cramping before, during, and still after ovulation which is so weird. I'm trying hard to be strong and wait to test until this weekend.

GTKY: Do you make your bed every morning?
Lolol no. I'm the worst.

I got into the habit because our last house was basically a glass box.

AF started for me around 9pm this cycle...I was debating calling it spotting but it was heavy enough that I called it CD 1. In my head though I'm counting back a day...I probably should have called it spotting after all.

babydsmama I know your pain, and as always, nothing is for sure with the Army until like the day of. No use planning

Bahaha you know my life! H convinced me to book a trip home for my Mom's birthday bc he "is definitely going to be in the field that week." I finally booked and he goes "oh yea...that changed."
Of course it did! 😜
We talked about it tonight and decided we're going to continue to try even though he's most likely deploying. Thanks for the support, girl! Where are you stationed, if you don't mind me asking?

Age of LO(s): 9 months

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: CD6

RRCS: I'm trapped in southern California on a business trip thanks to freakin' snowmageddon on the east coast. Normally I'd be happy to spent a few extra days in sunny 80 degree weather but I miss my baby

GTKY: Do you make your bed every morning? oh hell no


Cheers to you military families! I couldn't do it. You're amazing babydsmama, charliefox, and anyone else.

[pearlvirus]

Age of LO(s): 16 months and almost 3

Month/Cycle: tta until may

CD/DPO: cd2, bleh

RRCS: Should I travel for a bachelorette party in May for my soon to be SIL?!? In the no column - I'm still breastfeeding DD2 and I'm not sure if we'll wean by then. Also DH has never cared for both on his own overnight (neither have I actually) as DD1 is a really tough customer. But in the yes column - a girls weekend at an awesome resort, getting to know a new SIL AND the cake topper, my actual sister happens to live in the town they are going to and will be super prego at that time. Damn, what do I do? In the ? Column - according to FF I will also ovulate that weekend, which would be the earliest we would consider TTC, lol. My cycles are irregular enough that, that is unlikely, but come on universe!!

GTKY: Do you make your bed every morning? (This was a topic of discussion amongst girlfriends this weekend. Meh, this is not something I feel strongly about. Sometimes it happens, sometimes not.

[babydsmama]

frecklesnbrains thanks so much, girl! That's really sweet! I never thought, before I met H, that I could be an Army wife, and it still has a lot of challenges, but the Army has let us see a lot and does a lot for us! I appreciate your support! ❤

H was active for like 11 years but switched to the Reserves a few years ago, now he's rocking it in the civilian world. The Army somehow still rules our life though! I swear you can't get away. He thought he had this whole year planned out but found out last night that he has another week long training that he has to fit in, and he'll miss DS's 2nd birthday this year too. I've given up complaining, or stressing about it since he has very little control over these things. How about you guys?

I would totally go! So much can change in 2 months, and the yes column is pretty good! I wouldn't put any weight on what FF is saying about your O date that far off either.
