This Check-in is for anyone actively trying to conceive a sibling or planning to TFAS in the upcoming months.



Age of LO(s): 2

Circumstances: tfas with hypothyroidism

Cycle: 2

CD/DPO: 10

RRCS: it looks like Christmas exploded in my house. I got my tsh levels checked today. Followup appointment the 21st.

GTKY- How do you keep everything organized during the holiday season? I'm struggling with this. I have so many presents I'm making that my whole counter is covered in stuff. I put some things in a box but it is still bad.

Age of LO(s): 2 on NYE

Circumstances: AMA

Cycle: 7

CD/DPO: 11

RRCS: I was really hoping to lose some weight this month before making an appointment with my ob to discuss testing. That didn't happen. Where the hell is my motivation?

GTKY- How do you keep everything organized during the holiday season? My plan was to just put all of the Christmas gifts in a corner of the guest room with a blanket over them since DD is still young enough to not care to see what's behind the blanket. But MH thought we needed to hide them so hopefully he remembers where he put everything. I have a storage organizer for gift wrap and bows that I really need to go through because some of that stuff is really old and I have no need for 10 different roles of wrapping paper.

Age of LO(s): 16 months

Circumstances: TTC

Cycle: 1

CD/DPO: 2

RRCS: AF arrived so we will be trying this cycle. Here we go...

GTKY- How do you keep everything organized during the holiday season?
All the gifts that are yet - to - be - wrapped are stored on the top bunk in our guest room. Once wrapped I typically put them under the tree. However I'm not sure how well that will work with a toddler this year.

Hi!
Age of LO(s):
Almost 3
Circumstances:
tfas
Cycle:
5 or 6 I don't remember. My last cycle was 91 days so it all runs together.
CD/DPO:
Day 36
RRCS:
My dr was supposed to call in provera for me yesterday per the plan my dr and I created. They didn't! I'll be slightly more pushy on the phone today so I can get this show going. This will be my first cycle of provera then clomid- I'm a bit nervous.
GTKY- How do you keep everything organized during the holiday season?
We are in the middle of a major move. Nothing is organized this Christmas. I'm trying to keep a little cheer going for ds. His room is decked out, while the rest of the house is in boxes.

I'm also trying to lose weight before my next appointment. Hasn't happened. This is a hard time of year. There is food everywhere! Good luck

Circumstances: TFAS

Cycle: 2

CD/DPO: CD6

RRCS: AF is done so just waiting on O.

GTKY- How do you keep everything organized during the holiday season? Ummm, I don't? lol. As I get presents or as they arrive, I put them in our spare bedroom. They'll get wrapped soon and I'll put them under the tree. We made a budget this year and have stuck to it thus far. That's about as organized as we've gotten.

[amparo1981]

Age of LO(s):2

Circumstances:Trying, and trying some more.

Cycle:9

CD/DPO:18.

RRCS: I think we're on 1DPO today but thermometer is screwing with me and toddler is screwing with my sleep, so....

GTKY- How do you keep everything organized during the holiday season? We are just doing a bare-bones Christmas this year. Got a tree, made some cookies, went overboard on presents for the kid. But the grandparents are getting calendars, SO is getting a kitchen scale, and my brother is getting something for his bike. So we're slacking off in the festiveness department. Can't say I mind....

Ooooh, weight loss. Was definitely a plan. Then we got care packages full of chocolate. I guess that's what Jan 1 is for, right?

[cbowl]

Hey everyone! I'm currently trying to ignore my toddler while she throws a massive tantrum about nothing.

Age of LO(s): almost 2

Circumstances: TFAS after 2 losses

Cycle: 3

CD/DPO: CD 16

RRCS: Eh. My HCG was finally down to 0 last week so hopefully things will be good moving forward.

GTKY- How do you keep everything organized during the holiday season? It's so hard! We are also trying to get our condo ready to sell so we basically have to keep putting away all the decorations and gifts when we have pictures done etc. Luckily my LO is way too small to understand presents so we have hid a bunch in her closet.

[ellabee]

*Loss warning*

Hi ladies. I already posted in WTDS, but long story short, I'm going to be back here TTC. A16 just wasn't meant to be for us I guess and I'm glad (if it had to end), it ended sooner rather than later. Anyways, I'm back to TFAS as soon as hcg goes to 0 and the doc gives us the okay.

Age of LO(s):20 months

Circumstances: Tracking hcg to 0 after MC.

Cycle: 6/1AL

CD/DPO: 2?

RRCS: Not much. The last few days haven't been much fun to say the least. I want to be at the point where I can move on. Snuggles with DD definitely help.

GTKY- How do you keep everything organized during the holiday season? Not well...mostly fly by the seat of my pants and try to pick up the organization after the holidays end.

[cbowl]

So sorry for your loss ellabee !!

[judyblume14]

Age of LO(s): 15 months today

Circumstances: TTC #2

Cycle: 4

CD/DPO: 21/8

RRCS: This is my first "real" 2WW where our timing wasn't awful. I don't have a plan for when to test. I'm trying not to obsess. I think I'll test on Saturday (12DPO) because I have a holiday party that I'll otherwise probably get hammered at.

GTKY- How do you keep everything organized during the holiday season?
I don't, really. But this year, our condo is on the market, so I'm basically just consolidating all of the amazon boxes as they are delivered (all of my shopping is online, I think!!). That way, I can still just pile the boxes in my car when we have a showing. All warping will be done the night before we will see the gift recipient.

[judyblume14]

oh, ellabee , I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope you make you way to that "point where you can move on" soon. Keep snuggling DD.

[cheezee]

Oh ellabee I'm so so sorry for your loss. Big hugs!

Age of LO(s): 4

Circumstances: MFI

Cycle: 7

CD/DPO: CD13

RRCS: we had great news from DHs SA yesterday. I'm really hoping this allows us to relax about all this ttc business now. Although now I'm already totally stressed about getting good timing this month. I'll hopefully O by the end of the week and it is a crazy week for us and we're both so exhausted. DD has been coming in our bed in the middle of the night so that throws a wrench in our plans sometimes.

GTKY- How do you keep everything organized during the holiday season? Lots of to-do lists. I currently have about 10 amazon boxes of gifts thrown in our guest bed. I need to get to wrapping some stuff before DD sees something.

[sleepymonkey]

I am so sorry to see you back here, ellabee. Hugs to you.

[ladytiffany24]

ellabee, I am so so sorry to hear that. Sending hugs your way!

[dashook]

penguin129 , FX for good TSH results!
sleepymonkey , every month I think it would probably be a good idea to lose some weight before getting KU again but it never seems to happen...I also lack motivation lol
hurricanerek , yay for AF coming back!!
wilmaroo , FX for you! I understand being nervous. Hope all goes well.
cbowl , so sorry for your losses, but glad to hear that hCG is back down!
ellabee , I am so, so sorry for your loss lady Huge hugs!
judyblume14 , FX for you!!
cheezee, great news about the SA--yay!!

[dashook]

Age of LO(s): 11 months today (*tear*)

Circumstances: still in the midst of my first PP cycle, mentally ready to TFAS but not sure if my body agrees

Cycle: 1

CD/DPO: CD37 (one of my longest ever), not even sure if I've O'd

RRCS: FF thinks I'm 24dpo but that is false. BFN last Thursday. Just waiting and waiting and waiting, and trying not to get frustrated because it's only my first PP cycle and I know it could still take some time for things to normalize.

GTKY- How do you keep everything organized during the holiday season? I buy gifts throughout the year (basically anytime I see something that makes me think of anyone on our list), and keep a list of who is getting what (usually it's just in an email in my drafts folder...nothing formal). Once I start wrapping, they get sorted into different bags (one for my family, one for H's family) and they live under the tree until it's time to give them out. This plan works for now while LO is still too young to realize that there are gifts just sitting there, begging to be opened!

[caz1221]

I'm so sorry for your loss, ellabee.

Age of LO(s): 27 months

Circumstances: TFAS since September

Cycle: 3

CD/DPO: 20/5

RRCS: Our timing wasn't great this cycle because I was traveling for work. Boo.

GTKY- How do you keep everything organized during the holiday season? We spend Christmas at my parents' house or my in-laws house (alternating each year), so we don't do much at our own house. We get a tree and hang our stockings, but that's about it. I haven't started my Christmas shopping - it's on my to-do list this week.

[amparo1981]

ellabee, so sorry for your loss. Gentle hugs.

[jubilantsquirrel]

So very sorry for your loss ellabee.



Age of LO(s): 20 months

Cycle: 2

CD/DPO: 18

RRCS: None today

GTKY- How do you keep everything organized during the holiday season?
I don't really. We just have our tree up and that's the only inside decorations we have. Gifts are in various closets, the laundry room and the guest bedroom. Most of them are coming from Amazon, so they just stay in their boxes until it's time to wrap them. I think this year I might have to keep the presents on the dining room table instead of under the tree to prevent the toddler from getting into them.

Age of LO(s): 2

Circumstances: TFAS

Cycle: 2

CD/DPO: 16

RRCS: See WTO, no sex because DH has something wrong.

GTKY- How do you keep everything organized during the holiday season? We have bins to store all our Christmas stuff. We hide gifts in our closet but most of the stuff is kinda strewn around. Im not very organized.

[ameliabird]

I am so sorry ellabee!!

[onesweetworld]

So much love to you ellabee!

[hurricanerek]

ellabee I'm so sorry to see you back. Take all the snuggles you can get.

[amandamh2]

Age of LO(s): 7.5 months

Circumstances: TFAS in January

RRCS: DS is trying so hard to start walking already (slow down baby boy!) so that means hours of holding his hands and doing laps of the house. Fortunately, while my back is sore it could be a lot worse because he's a pretty tall baby like DH and I'm really short so at least I don't have to bend as much.

GTKY- How do you keep everything organized during the holiday season? Not too much to organize yet but since we're traveling home I'll definitely be making a list of things we have to take with us to make sure we don't forget anything. It's our first year with a baby at Christmas so the thought of remembering all the baby stuff and all the presents, etc. is a bit overwhelming.

[jwinct]

I'm so sorry, ellabee.


Age of LO(s): 6 and 8

Circumstances: I'm 39 and have one fallopian tube, so I don't feel all that hopeful that this will happen. We are licensed as a foster-to-adopt family with our state, as of a month ago, so whatever happens first is the path we will take.

Cycle: 4

CD/DPO: 23/8

RRCS: Just feeling festive and getting into the holiday spirit. No complaints here.

GTKY- How do you keep everything organized during the holiday season? I keep an Google spreadsheet (like excel) of all the gifts I plan to purchase and do purchase for everyone. Once a gift is purchased, I highlight it in a certain color. I try to keep the gifts separated, so that I don't get confused when wrapping. It doesn't always work. LOL

New here. Been lurking but joined today. Just posted in WTO but figured I would join in here as well.

Age of LO(s): 5, 2.5

Circumstances: TTC +35

Cycle: 2 (month 3)

CD/DPO: CD17

RRCS: None.

GTKY- How do you keep everything organized during the holiday season?
we are struggling this year. We are in a new house and the basement is not finished. In our old house we stored everything in the basement. We could even though it's unfinished but it's kind of a mess down there. Everything that is bought for people outside the family is wrapped and under the tree. Daily struggle telling 2.5 yr old not to touch lol. The unwrapped things for my kids are currently taking over my closet.
