GTKY: If you were stranded on an island with 1 song playing on repeat the whole time what would you choose?

[veganontuesdays]

I'm starting this today because I'm all up in my emoshuns.

Age of LO(s): He'll be 2 in May.



Month/Cycle: 2/2



CD/DPO: 21/7



RRCS: You guys I'm so sick. I've lost 5lbs in 2 days and I'm just miserable. Fuck the stomach flu. I had a breakdown on my way to work because my toddler is so facking whiney and idk what I'm thinking, thinking that I can handle being pregnant with him. I was so so so sick with him and I'm in tears imagining feeling the way I do right now for a whole 6 months if I get pregnant. Fuck.

[scoutradley]

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



Month/Cycle: 2/2 AL



CD/DPO: 5/0



RRCS: it's only month two and temping is exhausting but it's helpful because I was unaware I had a later O and a shorter LP.



GTKY: If you were stranded on an island with 1 song playing on repeat the whole time what would you choose? Weightless by Marconi Union.

[ajetter]

Age of LO(s): 7, 4, 20 months



Month/Cycle: 2/2 (3AL)



CD/DPO: 31/12



RRCS: Freaking forgot about the test I dipped this morning until the 10 min mark. Line eyes are making me want to think something is there, but I'm pretty sure there isn't. Not to mention it would likely just be an evap line at that point. I wasn't planning to test any more this cycle if I got BFN this morning, but dammit now tomorrow morning can't come soon enough. Trying not to get any hopes up though.



GTKY: If you were stranded on an island with 1 song playing on repeat the whole time what would you choose? I hate questions like this so much, because I'm terrible at making that kind of decision. Lol. I feel like not matter what I do I'll have Moana songs stuck in my head for the rest of my life anyway.

[citybee]

veganontuesdays I hope you start feeling better soon!

ajetter FX that you are actually seeing something!

[citybee]

Age of LO(s): 4yo DD and 2yo DS



Month/Cycle: 1/1AL



CD/DPO: 18/2



RRCS: I was nervous that my cycle would be crazy after having a loss last month, but I actually Oed earlier than usual so I'm relieved.



GTKY: If you were stranded on an island with 1 song playing on repeat the whole time what would you choose? I don't think I love any one song that much, but I might choose The Heart Of Life by John Mayer because it's mellow.

[robotpcr]

Thanks for starting this veganontuesdays. Big hugs. The stomach flu can go straight to hell. It is miserable and I'm so sorry. I have those same thoughts all the time re: being pregnant again with my whiny, tantruming toddler. I was so sick too, though not for as long as you.

I will say my BFF who was very, very ill (I think similar to you) with #1 for most of her pregnancy and had the same with #2, said it sucked and she wasn't any less sick but somehow it felt less overwhelming because her DS needed her and she just had to make it ok.

IDK if any of that helps. Just, hugs.

[robotpcr]

Age of LO(s): 23 months tomorrow



Month/Cycle: Last cycle TTA



CD/DPO: 25/7



RRCS: We have family visiting and DD is being a complete crazy person off her routine. I'm wondering WTF I'm thinking about TTC but I don't think anytime will ever feel perfect, so TTC next cycle. The excitement I had TTC her is not there so much though. I feel kind of bad.



GTKY: If you were stranded on an island with 1 song playing on repeat the whole time what would you choose? Can I choose silence? No? I guess a Beatles song then. Maybe Let it Be.

[robotpcr]

FX ajetter!!

[sammysam]

veganontuesdays I am right there with you. I threw up continuously until I delivered DD...including all through labour. It was like the worst hangover I've ever had every single day for the full 40 weeks. I am holding out hope that somehow knowing we have the responsibility of another LO that our brains and bodies will help us out a bit!

Sorry you're feeling so rotten. I hope the bug passes soon. But I am sure that when the time comes you will manage better than you think you can right now:)

[sammysam]

Age of LO(s): 3 years

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO:15/3

RRCS: I O'd pretty early this cycle. Not sure if that is a bad thing. I am hoping maybe my LP will be a bit longer because of it. My LP is on the short side and I'm worried that it is messing with our "success".

GTKY: If you were stranded on an island with 1 song playing on repeat the whole time what would you choose? I can't decide if I would want something up beat or mellow...maybe something by Joel Plaskett? I have to think about it more.

[sammysam]

robotpcr I understand about the excitement aspect. I am more just wanting it to happen already. I don't have the same all consuming desire or passion that I did the first time around. I think it's probably my mind's way of protecting me against disappointment if it doesn't end up working out for us this time around. That and I have DD to occupy ever moment of my spare time....

[veganontuesdays]

Thanks for the support guys. Much needed!!

[westiemom]

Age of LO: 11.75 months

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 7

RRCS: I hope the spotting stops soon. I spotted for 10 days before CD 1 and am done with the heavy stuff and back to spotting. I'm over bleeding and liners! I feel gross. Hopefully my cycle will regulate soon. This is my 2nd PP cycle and still BFing 4 times a day.

GTKY: this is a tough one! Dave Matthews Band #41

[cicimcstuffins]

I'm sorry you are sick Vegan. I forgot how bad the stomach flu was until I got it in February and was sick for 5 days and came very close to pooping myself while puking. I hope you are better soon!!!!! Everything seems harder when you feel like that.

[cicimcstuffins]

Age of LO: 4

Cycle/Month: 3

CD/ DPO: 26/12

RRCS: My dog's been extra snugly lately and I've considered that it could be a sign (she was all about the snuggles last time around). That's the level of crazy I am lol. Can it be tomorrow now please?

GTKY: Pink Floyd's Wish you Were Here

[westiemom]

veganontuesdays I'm sorry for the sickness. That sounds miserable.

[Deleted]

Age of LO(s): 3

Month/Cycle: 1

CD/DPO: 20/ either 7 or 5. FF changed it, so I'm not sure.

RRCS: Is it worth paying for FF?


GTKY: If you were stranded on an island with 1 song playing on repeat the whole time what would you choose? Wow, this is hard. I have music playing in my head all the time. I guess I'll pick Anything Goes from the musical by the same name.

[Deleted]

veganontuesdays, I hope you feel better!

ajetter, I hope tomorrow is your BFP. Also, I'm right there with you on the Moana soundtrack. DD is currently obsessed with that movie.

cicimcstuffins, That could be a sign. My cat was super cuddly last time too. Fingers crossed for you!

[charliefox]

Age of LO(s): 18 months

Month/Cycle: 8/8

CD/DPO: cd9

RRCS: Nada, just over here WTO

GTKY: If you were stranded on an island with 1 song playing on repeat the whole time what would you choose? Such a hard question! Probably pick some Paul Simon, something from the Graceland album. Or maybe just something classical that would blend into the background.

veganontuesdays, hope you feel better soon. And I totally get the fear of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. I was super sick my whole pregnancy with DS too, and I just remember my midwife saying "the longer it goes on the more likely it is to happen during subsequent pregnancies"....ugh! It's going to be pure torture, I just know it.

Thank you, I hope it means something.

Age of LO(s): 4, 2, 15 months

Month/Cycle: 10/10

CD/DPO: 7

RRCS: Getting discouraged and trying to be ok with not having another baby. I don't know how long I have it in me to keep trying. Too old.

GTKY: If you were stranded on an island with 1 song playing on repeat the whole time what would you choose? I would die if I had to listen to one song on repeat the whole time. I listen to a huge variety. I would start swimming!

[ajetter]

Wasn't a line. Boooooooo.

[ajetter]

obscurereference I feel you on trying to decide how long to try. Obviously we haven't be actively trying as long, but I've basically been having unprotected sex since my second was born. It's frustrating watching people churn out kids super quickly. I by no means am ungrateful for what I've got. Being a part of the dump and then here, I know I'm so lucky. Buuuut were ready to move past the baby stage and put the mind fuck of TTC behind us. I just still feel there is another piece to our puzzle.

[obscurereference]

ajetter Sorry it wasn't a line

I could have written your last post myself. It's exactly how I feel. I am ready to be done TTC and move out of the unknown of growing your family. I'm sure it appears to others that we have had an easy time having kids because they are close together, but the only one that was easy and quick was our first. But like you said, at the same time I know we are so lucky to have what we have. It's confusing to feel so many different ways!

[frecklesnbrains]

Age of LO(s): 10 months


Month/Cycle: TTA this cycle and next, then the baby-making begins!


CD/DPO: CD8


RRCS: We've been TTA because my job has been in limbo recently and I wanted to figure it out first but I got some great news yesterday: we've been selected to receive funding for a big grant, which means that my job is secure for at least a few more years!! This means DH and I don't need to worry about being able to afford #2, and it's a HUGE weight off my shoulders. In other news, AF is still hanging out on CD8 - WTF cycle?!?!?


GTKY: If you were stranded on an island with 1 song playing on repeat the whole time what would you choose? Oh GOD NO this sounds like my biggest nightmare! cicimcstuffins , your choice is very appropriate. It would just make me cry the whole time, lol.

[sammysam]

frecklesnbrains Yay about the job news. That's amazing! I'm so glad it all ended up working out in such a great way!

[robotpcr]

Great news frecklesnbrains!

[veganontuesdays]

Yay frecklesnbrains!!! So excite!

[runner17]

veganontuesdays, I hope you feel better soon. When DS is acting crazy, I sometimes wonder what I'm thinking too!
ajetter, sorry it wasn't a line.
cicimcstuffins, I hope tomorrow comes quickly!
@auri, I followed them on Twitter until they released a coupon. I got 90 days for $10.
frecklesnbrains, great news!
