Thank you for starting dke2010!

Age if LO(s): DD is 3 1/2

Cycle/Month: 8

CD/DPO: 17/3

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I said it in TWW already but I was really hoping for better timing this cycle. DD was sick and had a double ear infection and my back was acting up I could barely walk. That all happened in my FW so timing sucked.

GTKY: What is the last thing you bought for your LO(s)? Feel free to share a pic! I doughnut! I don't have a pic but I'll post this doughnut gif!

[fozziebear]

Age of kids : 9& almost 7
Cycle: first month after Mirena, officially trying after 2 cycles
Rants: I believe I'm about to have my first real period since I got pregnant with DD2, and I only had the 1 period after DD1. Basically, this is my second period in 10 years. Mirena FTW

Gtky: DD1s birthday was Sunday, she got games, Lego's, and books. She got an American Girl gift card from grandma and grandpa and we put in her order last night.

Age if LO(s): DS 15 mo

Cycle/Month: 1

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: still WTO. But I really am not holding out hope for this cycle. I seem to o every other cycle. And last cycle I ovulated. So...just waiting another 20 days for af and then really hard core ttc next cycle.

GTKY: What is the last thing you bought for your LO(s)? Feel free to share a pic!

Ummm.... Does a diaper pail count? I am buying a diaper champ from a friend. But otherwise...a balloon and a book that we "gave daddy" for his bday, but really I bought it for b because he loves balloons and the book is sticking adorable.

[icequeen]

dke2010, those PJ's are adorable! I'd wear them, haha!
fozziebear, oh my! It's definitely been a while but I'm hoping for the best for you! GL!
negirl824, I'm so sorry about all the bad luck. I hope y'all get better soon! ((HUGS))

I have really irregular cycles, and I am gearing up for a lot of TTC frustration.


GTKY: What is the last thing you bought for your LO(s)? I just bought for him a couple of those silicone feeders so that he can try more solids. He is not yet very good at eating chunks of stuff without my H freaking out that he will choke on them.

A donut? I think. It was going to be a shirt, but my mom ended up buying it for him.

[mrsgbmack]

Age if LO(s): 4

Cycle/Month:10/10

CD/DPO:cd 1

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I'm annoyed that I feel like timing every month sucks. It's just hard "to fit in" with DS around and life. I'm starting to get discouraged. And of course SIL was all "it'll happen when it's supposed to". I don't even know why I told her we were TTC, I need to keep my mouth shut.

GTKY: What is the last thing you bought for your LO(s)? Feel free to share a pic! Ummm, I think that last thing we got him were some clothes he picked out.

I know my chart doesn't prove it, but I'm pretty sure I ovulated on Sunday. I normally only have one FW and I had O pain followed by less CM.

I know how you feel. DS has been sleeping in our bed lately so we've had to be more creative with location and timing. I slipped to a few people that we are TTC and keep getting asked how it's going. I know they mean well but last month I got a text on CD1 with "How's the baby making coming?" and I wanted to scream "Not effing good!"

I know it's bad that he's 4 and we still have stay with him until he falls asleep but it means we usually fall asleep too and after he goes to bed is when I get house stuff done. We were ntnp for over a year then last fall got more serious then I finally started charting in Jan so it feels like forever. My obgyn said now that I'm charting she expects me to be pregnant by the end of the summer- it was a glimmer of hope but I'm still down. Ugh! Sorry to be all debbie downer, cd 1 hit today so that doesn't help. I'm going to go home, snuggle DS and pour a glass of wine. Thank you for your kind words!

Whatever works for you and your family! DS is 3 but a few months ago he started getting scared of his room because the window rattled when the wind was strong. So he is in our room before we go to bed and just stays there. We've been letting him decide on when he wants to sleep in his room and has started to ask to sleep in there again. But usually around midnight we hear him wake up and scurry down the stairs into our bed again. I'm just trying to enjoy the snuggles while I can. Soon he'll want his space. Sorry to hear about CD1, even when we weren't really "trying" it always was disappointing to see AF rear her ugly head.

Age of LO: 2 (27 months today!)

Cycle/Month: 6 charting + 6 NTNP

CD: 11- WTO

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Gearing up for lots of sex this week/weekend. Feeling really optimistic this month, but I've been more hopeful every month thinking this one has to be it! But really, it has to happen one of these months?!! We conceived LO on 2nd month so it came too easily last time.

GTKY: Did some shopping this weekend and bought him a couple pairs of pajamas, shorts, and a couple tshirts. Gap, Carters, Target are my go-to spots.

I'm in the same boat, I feel like we've been trying for what seems like forever. I wanted to be pregnant at this time last year and DH wasn't quite ready for the full force trying but in my own mind I was still trying, although we just weren't preventing and some months didn't hit ideal timing. But still disappointing. I wish I had spoken up more and for DH on board to try sooner.

[Sparkly]

Age of LO(s):  15 months

Cycle/Month:  3/5 (but TTA this cycle)

CD/DPO:  28/3 (maybe)

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks:  Not sure if I have actually O'd. Secondary signs point to Saturday or Sunday possibly, but with today's lower temp and the spike yesterday likely being a result of drinking + poor sleep + temping late, I just don't know if I believe it. I am wondering if my body is doing weird PP stuff again, and maybe not O'ing at all or having a very delayed O this cycle... like I geared up but didn't and might need to cycle back through to get there again. Basically what was happening before my first PP period.

Anyway, long rambly ramble to say... maybe I O'd, maybe I didn't... would be nice to know one way or the other so we could have unprotected sex again sometime soon!

GTKY: What is the last thing you bought for your LO(s)? Feel free to share a pic!  Tea Collection on Zulily and new headbands from LHS... Don't have a pic of either specifically but here's a cute pic (she is actually wearing Tea because it's pretty much her whole wardrobe right now )

*poof*

and headbands

Age if LO(s): 19mos

Cycle/Month: 4/8 (3/3AL)

CD/DPO: 27/7

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I think I'm getting sick again, for what feels like the millionth time this year. I'm trying to blame allergies but it hasn't been above freezing in days, so nothing is blooming. So so annoyed.

GTKY: What is the last thing you bought for your LO(s)? Feel free to share a pic!: Hmmm... Some little things for his Easter basket, but he doesn't have them yet. Probably some books at Savers? I have a book buying problem...

[tippytop]

Good morning ladies!!

Age if LO(s): 3 years and 18 months

Cycle/Month: 6

CD/DPO: 17/1 (I think, only using opks)

Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: I really hope I did in fact o yesterday, it would mean we had really good timing, which seems to not happen often.

GTKY: What is the last thing you bought for your LO(s)? Feel free to share a pic!
I just ordered my son one of those mini micro scooters for Easter! I'm excited to see his reaction, several of his friends have them and he's been wanting one for a while!

Creepy stranger hugs to you! I'm regretting telling a couple people about TTC. The "it'll happen when it's supposed to" comment sucks, like obviously it'll happen when it's supposed to, but I'm still allowed to be sad it didn't happen!

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: still chugging along hoping that I O'd and trying not to pee on things yet.

GTKY: What is the last thing you bought for your LO(s)? Feel free to share a pic! I bought a new toddler blanket and some pedi peds. Baby shoes are so hard to put on and these look like they'll be a lot easier to manage.

[ellewills618]

leahks77, we also have a book problem. He loves them though and I won't discourage a love of reading. I was so proud of myself today when we left the bookstore with nothing...but it's only because we were having a melt down and it was too close to nap time
