*TFAS Check-in* 1/20

[trutru127]

I know we were only going to do this every other week but thought we could go ahead and do it on the new board and then go every other week from here.  Since itsStackie hasn't made it over here, I can start it again unless someone else wants to take over.  Of course, my prayer is that I only get to start a couple and then move to the Pregnant Momma Check-in .


How long TFAS, or when do you plan to start?



What are you doing to get KU (besides the sex), i.e. charting, opks, tests, treatments?



Any updates?



Rants/raves/questions/chart stalks?



GTKY: What are your favorite winter activities?  Or do you just count down the days until it's Spring again?

How long TFAS, or when do you plan to start? Month 8



What are you doing to get KU (besides the sex), i.e. charting, opks, tests, treatments? I am planning to start temping again this month. EOD sex and continue using preSeed. I also plan to join the gym this week and work on losing weight again because I really think that will help.



Any updates?



Rants/raves/questions/chart stalks? It is very hard to temp when E wakes up crying 20 minutes before my alarm and I am more worried about settling him than taking my temp before I jump out of be.

I like to snuggle up with a good book and some hot cocoa but haven't done that since E was born I guess. Really though, I'm a count down to Spring kind of girl. Thankfully, we don't have super long or bad winters down here in Arkansas or Texas where I grew up so maybe that's why I am not a fan. Last year was bad in the northern part of the state where I was living...not usually as bad down here in the southern part.

-I use to snowboard and loved it, but haven't been in years. I don't mind the winter, but I'm starting to get an itch to play outside in the green grass and nice weather.

This will be the 5th month.

Sticks, sex and preseed.

Im looking forward to building a snowman with J but i really cant wait until the spring gets here!!

Now that I can get on at work, I should be able to participate more.



How long TFAS, or when do you plan to start? We started May 2014.


What are you doing to get KU (besides the sex), i.e. charting, opks, tests, treatments? Uhm, I was temping. We then got benched due to the cyst & as soon as I get the all clear from the OB, I'll probably get some OPKs & go back to temping.



Any updates? Had a cyst removed from my right ovary. I posted about it in the spam thread.

GTKY: What are your favorite winter activities? Or do you just count down the days until it's Spring again? I'm not much of a winter person. I do enjoy snow...when I don't have to drive in it. hah

Still no postpartum period here. Maybe next week ;-)

I like snowshoeing, skiing, ice skating, all that fun stuff. I like living somewhere that gets snow.

[huckleberry08]

First cycle was a bust. We timed it a little too early. This will be cycle #2. I need to temp but LO's nighttime wakeups make it really hard. Trying not to stress about it, which is hard with my Type A personality.

My favorite winter activity is hiding inside with cocoa and waiting for spring.

Forgive me I'm sorry I can't remember are you still breastfeeding?

Yes.  I have (more or less) night weaned, but LO still nurses about 3 times a day.

We've officially decided to move ahead with another IVF cycle.

Right now we're working on getting the money into our health savings account.

I need to call the RE and set up a consult, pretty sure we need to re do tests to see if IVF is still an option. (I have a low egg reserve.)

I love winter and snow around the holidays. After, I just count down to warm weather.

6 months

Just sex

We have a mild winter so it's cold in the mornings 35* or higher. And over 50 in the afternoon. I can deal with our short winter weather.

doodletwins good luck!

Eta: is that the right/ok thing to say? I'm thinking good thoughts for you!

Thank you. It's always nice to hear.

[peachey]

This will be cycle 3.

Not doing anything too special, but trying over the holidays while staying at various relative's houses was interesting.

I love winter. When I had winters off I used to ski, and skate ski, and snowshoe and whatever else I could think of to wear out our dog. Now I work all winter and hide out all weekend.

[phishgirl]

FX for a great cycle doodletwins!

I'm planing my second FET next cycle. I hope this is it because we will be using out last frozen embryo.

[doodletwins]

phishgirl Hope your cycle goes well and that little frostie does exactly what it should!

@emazeem‌ Hope you can move along with your IVF cycle soon! Lupron is not fun.

We can start after AF is gone. I had to wait 2 cycles after my MC.

What are you doing to get KU (besides the sex), i.e. charting, opks, tests, treatments?
OPKs, and the fertility friend app

Any updates?
I just got my period! After it's over, we can
start trying again. I'm excited but super nervous!!

I hate winter, but as a teacher I do like a good snow day or two.

Good luck ladies!!!
