Circumstances: TTC#2

Cycle: 5, month 6. Soon to be 6/7.

CD/DPO: 33/12

RRCS: Waiting on AF after my bfns. Feeling overwhelmed and burnt out right now. Stressed about the new house renovations and the fact that we actually haven't moved yet (despite saying each week that we will). Feeling disengaged at work. FW for this cycle will fall while we're traveling with the in-laws. *big sigh*. Pity party over here.

GTKY- What is on your wishlist (or buy-list) for LO this holiday season? A toddler table and chair set.

Circumstances: TTC #2

Cycle: Cycle 4/ Month 5

CD/DPO: CD15/WTO

RRCS: I'm only on my 3rd month of charting this go-round and have yet to actually confirm ovulation. So, that's annoying. Also, I'm sick.

GTKY- What is on your wishlist (or buy-list) for LO this holiday season? LO is getting pewi y-bike after getting some feedback that she's probably still a bit young for a balance bike.

RRCS: None

GTKY- What is on your wishlist (or buy-list) for LO this holiday season?
DS is getting a train table, some trains and a little basketball hoop. We also got him a couple of little trucks since he loves anything with wheels.

RRCS: I'm pretty burned out.

GTKY- What is on your wishlist (or buy-list) for LO this holiday season? We got him a train set and a batman gotham city playset.

[cheezee]

Age of LO(s): 4

Circumstances: MFI

Cycle: 7

CD/DPO: CD 6

RRCS: I was happy to see a 13 day LP last cycle. Guess the B6 is helping although it really got my hopes up. DH did his SA this morning and we'll get results at his urologist appt on Monday. I'm hoping his count has improved since September.

GTKY- What is on your wishlist (or buy-list) for LO this holiday season? I cannot stand any more little figurines in my house. We are bursting with toys after her birthday last month. I'm getting her a basketball hoop and t-ball stand to put on our patio. Some usborne books and a fancy play cash register.

[amandamh2]

Age of LO(s): 7 months

Circumstances: TFAS in January

RRCS: I'm feeling so ready to start TTC. The only thing holding me back from starting sooner is wanting to make sure I'll be able to BF my LO until at least a year, which could be jeopardized if I got pregnant quickly and my milk supply really dropped. I figure if I wait a little longer even if things happen quickly (although that seems unlikely as no PP AF yet) he should still get enough.

GTKY- What is on your wishlist (or buy-list) for LO this holiday season? We got DS a knit aviator toque and I just love it! DH is a pilot so our little guy has a lot of airplane themed things

[ellabee]

Hugs singingsea. I'm sorry that you're feeling burned out. I'm having those feelings too. TTC can be so exhausting.
Fx for good news from the SA cheezee!

Circumstances: TTC #2

Cycle: 1

CD/DPO: 34/12

RRCS: BFN on DPO10 and DPO12. I'm learning the hard way not to test early!

[sleepymonkey]

Age of LO(s): 2 on NYE

Circumstances: AMA

Cycle: 7

CD/DPO: 4

RRCS: Not much. Just frustrated that it was so easy to GKU almost almost 3 years ago but now, not so much.

GTKY- What is on your wishlist (or buy-list) for LO this holiday season? The big thing we bought was a play kitchen. We did all of DD's shopping this past weekend. We bought so much stuff but we shop for Christmas and her birthday at once since they're a week apart.

[jense927]

Age of LO(s): Will be 2 next week!!

Circumstances: TTC

Cycle: 10

CD/DPO: 15/0

RRCS: Feeling burnt out from TTC as well. RE appt is on the books for end of this month. I am just feeling less invested this month. I am sure that will change once I O and am in the TWW though.

GTKY- What is on your wishlist (or buy-list) for LO this holiday season? I am so bad I feel like I got him so many things. Maybe I overdid it? His Bday is next week and then xmas so we bought it all together which makes it seem like more but he got a toy dyson vacuum, tee ball set, kidkraft firehouse, bunch of books, pump station, cash register. This doesn't include what his grandparents and aunts and uncles got him. Yikes!

[BabyStandish]

Age of LO(s): Will be 11 months in 9 days

Circumstances: NTNP, bf'ing with no PP AF

Cycle: n/a

CD/DPO:

RRCS: just waiting for my body to hurry up and bring AF back. LO is constantly at the boob lately so I feel like it's not going to happen soon. Gah.

GTKY- What is on your wishlist (or buy-list) for LO this holiday season? Well sorta for LO. I want a new baby carrier. LO is getting some bath toys, his first shoes, and new clothes.

[hurricanerek]

Age of LO(s): 15.5 months

Circumstances: TTC any day now

Cycle: ...

CD/DPO: 20/10

RRCS: At this point, just waiting for AF so we can start TTC. DH has already ditched the condoms and he's a happy man!

GTKY- What is on your wishlist (or buy-list) for LO this holiday season? I have already bought her a potty and rocking chair, plus some smaller toys and books. We are hoping that relatives will get her some experience gifts rather than more toys (i.e. passes to children's museum, swimming lessons, etc.)

[britta]

Age of LO(s): 2 (almost 26 months)

Circumstances: None

Cycle: 4/6

CD/DPO: 36, waiting to confirm O

RRCS: This cycle is stupid. I too am feeling burned out on this TTC thing. DS was conceived my first cycle off BCP in about 11 years. While I knew going into this that it was unlikely to happen as quickly again, I guess I didn't really EXPECT that. I'm back to toying with the idea of being OAD, which sounds silly when I think about it.

GTKY- A play tool set for sure. He's always asking to use a screwdriver to "fix" things. Besides that there's nothing that jumps out at me like "Yes this is what L needs for Christmas!"

ladytiffany24, my son LOVES to read. Loves it. This summer I dug out all MY old Dr. Suess books, he enjoys them. You're LO will too I'm sure. He's current fave is Green Eggs and Ham.

[cbowl]

Hugs to everyone who needs them. The burnt out feeling sucks especially this time of year.

Age of LO(s): 23 months

Circumstances: TTCAL

Cycle: 15 total / 3 AL

CD/DPO: CD9

RRCS: I'm just blah. I'm so glad that my period from hell is finally over...going back again this week for one last blood draw and hoping that my HCG is finally negative. My LP this cycle was barely 8. Ugh.

GTKY- What is on your wishlist (or buy-list) for LO this holiday season? Her bday and xmas are just a few days apart. We are getting her a play kitchen and a doll house.

[sleepymonkey]

britta, I toy with the idea of being OAD as well. DD was conceived in my second cycle and like you, while I knew it was unlikely that it would be that quick this time, I still kind of expected it to be quick. We're not sure how far we're willing to go TFAS and I feel like I'm constantly stressing over TTC so I sometimes feel like committing to being OAD would better for my mental health.

[Deleted]

Age of LO(s): 3yr DS

Circumstances: TTC#2 with hypothyroid

Cycle: 3/month 4

CD/DPO: 26

RRCS: nothing new this week.

GTKY- What is on your wishlist (or buy-list) for LO this holiday season?
DS doesn't need anything really this year. I was hoping to take him to a local theatre production, but they said online that children have to b over 4. Boo.

[lavinia]

Hugs to everyone that needs them. The holidays have enough stress without adding in TTC worries.

[frodabaggins]

Age of LO(s): almost 16 months

Circumstances: Trying for #2

Cycle: 2

CD/DPO: 27/?

RRCS: the company I work for got sold. A lot of stuff is in flux, including the status of my health insurance, and I dislike that feeling.

GTKY- What is on your wishlist (or buy-list) for LO this holiday season? for Hanukkah I want to get super creative and buy him 8 little gifts, but he's so young I don't think there's much point in stressing myself out about that so I'll get him one awesome thing and give it to him on the last night. I need to buy xmas presents for my nieces and nephews, though!
