[dke2010]

Age if LO(s): Almost 3. I can't believe DD's birthday will be here next month!

Cycle/Month: 14/13

CD/DPO: CD 20

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Normally my chart is pretty straightforward, but not this time. I'm having very erratic temps with a slight rise overall. FF can't figure out if/when I ovulated.

GTKY: What is the most frustrating part of TTC (besides not getting pregnant)? Ugly charts drive me crazy! I'm known to be a control freak and I just can't hardly stand the suspense that my chart sometimes creates.

Age if LO(s): 5&3

Cycle/Month: 8 since break/21 total

CD/DPO: 11

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Rocky temps again this month.

GTKY: What is the most frustrating part of TTC (besides not getting pregnant)? Feeling no one IRL understands, especially since I have two children. Most don't know that I had to do 3 rounds of clomid after a year of unmedicated cycles before getting pregnant with DS. Especially with my family being so damn fertile. The only one who "struggled" was my sister who has had 3 in 4 years.

DS is going to be two in August
Cycle 1
8 DPO

RRCS: DS hardly slept last night and I feel like a shitty parent for letting him stay up so late. Also not TTC related, but my hair is a disaster and I forgot an elastic. Or rather, lost the one I thought I'd packed.

GTKY: messy charts / ovulation not being predictable. Also maybe wanting to sleep over having sex sometimes. (Fftc?)

thanks for posting dke2010, I looked at your chart, not certain either but cd14 looks probable. Your timing was fine for any of the days 13-16, best wishes

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: ok, going a little bezerk this morning. I got the damn triphasic comment on my chart, and last evening had a few drops of clear liquid from my breast... I am considering testing in the am just to alleviate my crazy! This has been a wacky cycle from original low post O temps that had me questioning whether I had even O'd to now this

Cycle/Month:1/1

CD/DPO:25/10

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Wanted to test this morning but kind of made a deal with SO not to test until Friday....arrrgh

GTKY: What is the most frustrating part of TTC (besides not getting pregnant)? Seeing all the other proud pregnant women and thinking "I want to be where you are!" The playground seems to be crawling with them right now.

That's awesome! Friday seems so far away, but if you guys work the regular M-F, getting a BFP near the weekend and getting to "celebrate" rather than going to work is better (how I convince myself to wait till weekends). GL!

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: TTA this cycle. I mentioned this in the WTO thread yesterday but I am waiting for Aflac to kick in to help cover my next possible maternity leave.

GTKY: What is the most frustrating part of TTC (besides not getting pregnant)? I can become obsessive over symptoms over the 2ww.

Age of LO(s): Two.

Cycle/Month: 8

CD/DPO: CD8

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Got nothing.

GTKY: What is the most frustrating part of TTC (besides not getting pregnant)? That people assume you'll get pregnant right away. DS only took two cycles. So now that I'm on eight my family is all in my business.

[Deleted]

singingsea, haha, I read your gtk answer as now that I'm on number 8, I kept looking for the other ages of your other children! yes, I need more coffee I understand that you mean cycle 8.

I'm sure you can imagine how quiet you keep ttc efforts once you have had more than 2 or 3 babes!

You have more control than me, I would have peed on something yesterday. FX!

Age of LO: 2 on 7/5!!!!

Cycle/Month: 2/2 of gathering information before TFAS in Sept

Cycle Day/DPO: 15/7

R/R/CS: I'm hoping that DH gets hired really soon so we can enjoy the rest of the summer. He had an unofficial offer today that has potential to become official pending results of his interview on Thursday. He was very up front with the principal about having other interviews.

GTKY: Nothing right now since we haven't officially started trying yet. I'm sure something will bother me in a few months.

Age if LO(s): 14 months

Cycle/Month: 4/4

CD/DPO: CD 4

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Apparently my husband was under the misconception that you could get pregnant any time of the month. I had to explain it to him. Not sure if that's a rant or a rave or what, but it was funny. Now he finally gets why I get frustrated when he's working funny hours during O-time.

GTKY: What is the most frustrating part of TTC (besides not getting pregnant)? Having sex. I have no drive, but I want a baby.

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I am so ready to go out of town next weekend!!! Four days of not having to worry about anything except relaxing!

GTKY: What is the most frustrating part of TTC (besides not getting pregnant)? I don't really have anyone to talk to about all this stuff. I am a pretty private person and don't even feel comfortable talking to my mom or step-mom.

@kellbell there is no way in hell I'd not be testing right meow

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: DH is being stupid today

GTKY: What is the most frustrating part of TTC (besides not getting pregnant)?

I guess thinking that cancer is still fucking with our lives even when it's been defeated.

Also, I have a hard time seeing pregnant women that have children my son's age or younger. I feel like I'm falling behind somehow.

Thanks for your input, @kellbell!

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: My chart is all messed up because I was sick this week and I O'd this week. I might have O'd any time between CD 19 and CD 22.

GTKY: What is the most frustrating part of TTC (besides not getting pregnant)? Timing sex properly.

God yes! Sometimes I hate knowing I'm in my FW because sex feels forced or scheduled.

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: meh, just waiting to test.

GTKY: What is the most frustrating part of TTC (besides not getting pregnant)? Two of them- 1- everything that is WTO. My cycles are fairly irregular, so it's a pita to make sure we get some decent timing (or that I even o...). I also hate the wait. The TWW is so much easier, you don't actually have to do anything lol. 2- the questions from well intentioned/nosey people about when the next baby is coming. I finally started telling a couple of the more persistent ones that we were one and done just so they would stfu. This was shortly after my CP, so while it was not a very honest move I've had no regrets.
