CD:18

DPO: 4

Circumstances: waiting until January to TFAS

R/R/CS: I have an appointment for my thyroid tomorrow and will get another TSH test done sometime this week or next week. DD's appointment is this morning at 9. I can't wait to get it over with.

GTKY: DD had 2 costumes. She was a ladybug in a little onsie and a scarecrow. I bought brown pants and a flannel shirt for her and made a hat out of felt and straw out of yarn and yellow elastic. She had straw coming from her hand and feet. She was so cute!

[jense927]

Age of LO(s): 22 Months

CD: 7

DPO: 0

Circumstances:

R/R/CS: We are now on month 10...blah. I was so stressed about GKU the past two months. I am trying to not think about it AS much this month. So far doing okay. CD7 came quick. I enjoy this time the most. Period is gone and time to HIO.

GTKY- What was (or will be) your LO's first Halloween Costume? Last year he was a turtle. He was just starting to crawl and it was so cute!

[dke2010]

Age of LO(s): 3

CD: 21

DPO: 4

Circumstances: This is our second cycle with meds and TI. I'm just really hoping this works!

R/R/CS: I'm so ready for DD to have a sibling. I'll think she'll be a great big sister because she loves babies. She's super gentle with other people's babies and it's cute to watch her interact with them.

GTKY- What was (or will be) your LO's first Halloween Costume? DD was a bumblebee for her first Halloween.

[ellabee]

Age of LO(s): 18.5 months

CD: 22

DPO: 2 maybe 3

Circumstances: TTC #2

R/R/CS: Just really hoping we hit it this cycle. It's much more exhausting trying to do all we can to TTC than it was before we had DD.

GTKY- What was (or will be) your LO's first Halloween Costume? DD was a pumpkin last year. It was adorable.

[britta]

Age of LO(s): 2

Cycle/month: 3/4

CD: 29

DPO: 8

Circumstances: None

R/R/CS: I'm trying to keep my crazy in check...but my hopes for this cycle are sky high

GTKY- I've said it on here before, I'm not a fan of Halloween. It's hard to get into it even with a LO. DS's bday is 10/4 so his very first all I did was buy some cute Carter's Halloween outfit. Last year (just after his first birthday) I wasn't going to do anything at all and then changed my mind last minute because his DC has a Halloween party. So, I went out last minute and got him a Lion costume. It was perfect. So many people commented on how cute it was. The mane barely fit around his fat little cheeks, pretty sure that's what made it.

[singingsea]

Age of LO(s): 2.5

Cycle/month: Cycle 11/1AL

CD: CD35

Circumstances: Benched one cycle.

R/R/CS: Just waiting for AF to show up.

GTKY- What was (or will be) your LO's first Halloween Costume? Last year he was spiderman. This year he's a pirate.

[rungirlrun]

Age of LO(s): 2

CD: 20

DPO: 8

Circumstances: N/A

R/R/CS: I know nothing I do now will change the outcome of this cycle, but I'm feeling good about everything.

GTKY- What was (or will be) your LO's first Halloween Costume? DS was about 6 weeks old for his first Halloween. He was a little cow. And he even tolerated the costume for a bit which made me really happy - got some great pictures.

[doodler]

Age of LO(s): He turned 2 this weekend!

CD: 15

DPO: Hopefully I O today or tomorrow.

Circumstances: TTC#2

R/R/CS: This cycle has been messing with my head. I'm hoping that I can confirm O soon.

GTKY- What was (or will be) your LO's first Halloween Costume? DS was 2 weeks old for his first halloween. We put him in a Superman onesie with a cape on the back and I flew him all over the living room

[sleepymonkey]

Age of LO(s): 22 months (on Halloween)

CD: 13

DPO: 0

Circumstances: None

R/R/CS: My +OPK caught me by complete surprise yesterday. I wasn't expecting it for at least 5 days. I almost didn't even start testing until tomorrow but my CM made me think maybe I should just check it out.

GTKY- What was (or will be) your LO's first Halloween Costume? She was a fuzzy black cat last year. She looked adorable, especially when she crawled on the floor with the tail dragging behind her.

[penguin129]

We're done with DD's appointment. Her blood glucose levels were normal so she doesn't have diabetes. I'm relieved about that. Everyone else was right. The doctor said it is just a habit DD's formed.

[bighair12]

Age of LO(s):  3

CD:  30

DPO:  12

Circumstances:  none

R/R/CS:  this cycle won't end.  My LP has never been over 10. Even when trying for my DD.  And this endless spotting.  Ugh.

GTKY- What was (or will be) your LO's first Halloween Costume?  DD was a peapod for her first Halloween.  She was so little and was two months old.

[britta]

penguin129 I was waiting for your update. I'm glad to hear she's ok!

[amandamh2]

Age of LO(s): 6 months

Circumstances: TTA until Feb/March 2016. Going off BCP January to see if AF will return despite breastfeeding

R/R/CS: Stayed up too late last night watching the election. Pretty surprising results. What I should have done is avoid facebook because some of my friends are now convinced the world is ending. Sigh.

GTKY- What was (or will be) your LO's first Halloween Costume? Little man is going as a lion. He tried his costume on for the first time yesterday and it was adorable!

[cheezee]

Age of LO(s): Almost 4 - birthday party planning is in full force!

CD: 20 something

Circumstances: MFI

R/R/CS: Just been lurking and ready to get the show on the road again next month. I feel like I'm holding my breath until DH's next SA.

GTKY- What was (or will be) your LO's first Halloween Costume? She was a little flower. I remember how cute she was waddling around in that costume!

[judyblume14]

Age of LO(s): 13 months

Cycle/Month: 2/3

CD: 27

Circumstances: TTC#2.

R/R/CS: Fully expecting AF in a day or two. Horrible timing this month. We're kinda stressed out with selling our home, looking for a new car, etc. We aren't able to prioritize TTC right now, basically because we're too busy to have sex. So pathetic. As of this moment, I'm not getting too down over it. I may feel differently when I go buy tampons tonight.

GTKY- What was (or will be) your LO's first Halloween Costume? She was the most adorable 7 week old Minnie Mouse.

[Deleted]

Age of LO(s): 3yrs

CD: 31

DPO: n/a

Circumstances: hypothyroid, and possible PCOS.

R/R/CS: temping is making me crazy, they are all over the map.

GTKY- What was (or will be) your LO's first Halloween Costume?
DS was both a snowy leopard and a dino/monster on his first halloween at 5ish weeks. They were both hooded sleepers and super cute.

[littlelion]

Age of LO(s): 10 months
CD: 25
DPO: 10 according to my app. I prob should have started temp'ing. 
Circumstances: Waiting for my appt with RE 10/30.
R/R/CS: I'm nervous about the appt. Last time she had me in each Friday for blood tests and U/S once I got a BFP. Now, with my LO, not sure how I can make that happen. 

GTKY- What was (or will be) your LO's first Halloween Costume? I was making him a Jerry the mouse costume (tom&jerry) but DH found the hand me downs I got from my sister. I have a tigger and a frog. DH likes the frog. The frog is really cute but warm. And he isn't going trick or treating down the block or anything. Jerry might still be a contender.  It'll be his own clothes and he'll have ears. And painted whiskers.  

[housecarder]

Age of LO(s): 3 and almost 6

DPO: 1dp5dt (PUPO)

Circumstances: Transferred two fresh embryos yesterday.

R/R/CS: Got a call that only 3 of the other 6 made it to freeze, but hopefully one of these two take.

GTKY- What was (or will be) your LO's first Halloween Costume? DD was a pirate at 11 months. DS was too little to trick or treat and DD was at her dad's so we dressed up on his first Halloween, but for his second he was a puppy. Since I never pass up a chance to AW my littles:

Age of LO(s): 20 months

CD: 1

DPO: N/A

Circumstances: TFAS in January

R/R/CS: Hoping for a "normal" cycle to chart so I can get at least a few good cycles charted before January.

GTKY- What was (or will be) your LO's first Halloween Costume? She was a strawberry.

[jubilantsquirrel]

Age of LO(s): 19 months

CD: 3

DPO: 0

Circumstances: We start TTC next month

R/R/CS: none

GTKY- What was (or will be) your LO's first Halloween Costume?
He was a little monster. It was one of those cute little fluffy costumes for infants (he was 7 months old). This year we got him a Ninja Turtle costume from Costco. We aren't taking him trick-or-treating, but since Halloween is on a Saturday we're going to keep him in his costume all day.

Age of LO(s): 15 months

CD: 20

DPO: 6

Circumstances: TTC# 2 in December

R/R/CS: I'm only 6 DPO and am having some weird spotting. I also spot for like 4-5 days before my period. I hope today is some fluke and it stops.

GTKY- What was (or will be) your LO's first Halloween Costume? DS was 3-1/2 months old and I dressed him as a little skeleton. I haven't figured out what he's going to be this year because it's still hot and most the costumes are for cooler climates. I should probably pick something soon!

That's what we found, especially last year for her first Halloween. It's hard to find baby costumes appropriate for Florida weather. I love the Pottery Barn Kids costumes but I don't want my child getting heat stroke!

[roofusdoofus]

Age of LO(s): 14 months

CD: 18

DPO: still haven't ovulated

Circumstances: we've been TTC for 6 months, but I've only had 3 cycles and have never turned an OPK positive. Not sure what's going on with my body due to nursing.

R/R/CS: I had the darkest line I've had yet on an OPK this morning, but it wasn't dark enough to be positive. I asked this on WTO, but I'll ask here too. Does anyone have experience with a short LP? How short can yor LP be and still be considered normal?

GTKY- What was (or will be) your LO's first Halloween Costume? We didn't do much last year, since he was only 2 months old. This year he'll be yoda.

I think the rule is 3 cycles with a LP less than 10 days warrants a call to your doc.

[dashook]

Ladies! I've missed the last several check-ins but I'm here now and sending love to you all!

penguin129, glad to hear good news from DD's appointment! GL at yours tomorrow.
jense927, I hope you can have fun HIO this cycle and not worry too much...easier said than done though, I know.
dke2010, FX for you! Your DD looks like such a sweeyheart (I'm assuming that is her in your avatar).
ellabee, FX for you as well! You are so right about how exhausting this all is.
britta, my hopes for you this cycle are high too...keep us posted! P.S. - fat cheeked babies are the cutest.
singingsea, hope this cycle finished up quickly for you ((hugs))
rungirlrun, glad to hear you're feeling good! Keep that optimism going
doodler, happy birthday to your LO! Hope O is confirmed soon.
sleepymonkey, hope the O holds true and you can get some good timing this cycle.
bighair12, sorry about the spotting. That sounds like a whole lot of no fun.
amandamh2, I hear you. Some days I just can't with FB.
cheezee, woohoo! Any 4th birthday plans yet?
@zerozeroone, hope things straighten out for you soon. And wow, December is just around the corner!
judyblume14, I'm so sorry things are so stressful right now. I can definitely relate. Hope next cycle is better!
@sparky85, I haven't started temping yet and honestly one of the reasons is because I know it's going to drive me crazy more often than not.
littlelion, I hope things go smoothly with scheduling the RE!
housecarder, FX for your embies!!! Also your LO's are SO adorable.
sammysam, hope you get that normal cycle.
jubilantsquirrel, woo one more month!!
roofusdoofus, sorry I don't have any OPK advice, hope you get some clarification soon.

[dashook]

Age of LO(s): 9 months

CD/DPO: N/A

Circumstances: Still BF my little guy and no sign yet of AF returning. But, until she does, DH and I are not using any BC and hoping for a little "surprise."

R/R/CS: Guise, mentally I am so ready to TFAS. I'm just trying to stay sane while we are in this limbo. I am not willing to wean DS early, plus he is just such an incredible joy right now, I'm just trying to enjoy it and not stress about a timeline for a sibling.

GTKY- What was (or will be) your LO's first Halloween Costume? He is going to be Stitch (from Lilo & Stitch) in an outfit that my FSIL got him from the Disney store. It couldn't be more fitting for the vocalizations he is making right now!

[caz1221]

I just found this check-in - hope it's ok for me to join!

Age of LO(s): 26 months

CD: 29

DPO: 8

Circumstances: Just started TFAS this cycle!

R/R/CS: The TWW is killing me - I have long-ish cycles (~40 days), so it's more like a 3 week wait for me. So impatient...

GTKY- What was (or will be) your LO's first Halloween Costume? For her first Halloween (at age ~2.5 months), I just got DD a black & orange outfit with a pumpkin on it because I couldn't find a costume that fit properly. Last year, she was a garden gnome. This year, she's going to be Alice in Wonderland.

[wilmaroo]

Age of LO(s):
2.5
CD:
77
Circumstances:
Going to Dr in 2 weeks to figure out what is going on (not pregnant )
R/R/CS:
I have been having some longer cycles but nothing like this. We are getting close to a year of NTNP. I've been feeling really down lately about GKU. I am incredibly blessed with my DS but am starting to worry about this age gap(all just crazy in my head).
GTKY- What was (or will be) your LO's first Halloween Costume?
He was a baby dinosaur

[penguin129]

Sorry for the long cycle wilmaroo. Sending hugs your way.

[littlelion]

wilmaroo GL at the appt. Hope you get some answers
