I'm very impressed with your spreadsheet system jwinct. I write out a list the old fashioned way and highlight as I go. I am making a lot of gifts this year so it is also helping me to know what supplies I still have to buy.
Apr 2008-Miscarriage @ 14 wks accompanied by hemorrhaging,D&C and 3 pints of blood Jun 2008-BFP Feb 2009-DD was born @ 36w5d Aug 2013-Pcos diagnosis Feb 2014-Started TFAS Jul 2014-We bought a house! Dec 2015-Started medicated cycles
R / R : I'm going to keep hanging out here until we actually make some sort of decision about TFAS. Hope that's OK.
GTKY: We only do gifts for LO so it's easy to keep everything sorted. Also, SO is an architect and believes in minimalism so all we get in terms of decorations is a tree.
Circumstances: TFAS with hypothyroidism, not dx when ttc #1
Cycle: 3/ month 5
CD/DPO: 33/na
RRCS: pretty sure O day is soon/possibly today.
GTKY- How do you keep everything organized during the holiday season? I started making food lists back in august. And I keep all of the gifts in bins on a high shelf. We made a budget a few years ago, and it has helped us not go overboard on gifts (which makes wrapping easy too)
sammysam, yes, stay, we're happy to have you! GL making a decision that works for your family; these things are important and can definitely take time. britta, hope you're feeling better this morning!
Circumstances: Had a surprise pregnancy which resulted in an ectopic... Had right Fallopian tube removed and have to wait until February to TTC.
Cycle: N/A
CD/DPO: CD1
RRCS: I'm both happy and sad that its CD1. And it is the same day is have been due before I was even pregnant. DS is a teething crank lately, he is so hard sometimes.
GTKY- How do you keep everything organized during the holiday season? I don't!

@ellabee I'm so sorry for your loss
Age of LO(s): 16 months
Circumstances: TFAS
Cycle: 2
CD/DPO: 34/?
RRCS: posted all about this in 2WW thread! I found a random CVS blue dye test in my cabinet, and figured since yesterday was the day FF predicted me to get my period, I would test. I peed in a cup, dipped the test for the right amount of time, capped it - but then didn't lay it flat. I realized my mistake about 3 minutes in and laid it flat. I thought I saw a very, VERY faint line, but after squinting for a long ass time, I decided I was just seeing things, or maybe it was evap. It sucks because I don't know for sure when I O'd and our timing was on the tail end of the window FF recommended based on past cycles. Maybe I tested too early, maybe blue dye tests suck - I was really just going off the fact that normally I start spotting around day 29/30 and it's now day 34. I grabbed some FRERs this morning and will try again tomorrow!
GTKY- How do you keep everything organized during the holiday season? My husband and I have a shared calendar where we input events so the other won't forget, we do amazon deliveries for all the people we need to shop for, all decorations stored in clear plastic bins labeled clearly for easy access and cleanup...the usual. I didn't do super well planning for Hanukkah though. I did make homemade latkes the first night!
GL tomorrow frodabaggins !! Also I'm impressed by your homemade latkes--Trader Joe's frozen ones are about as much as I can handle!
Thank you! confession time: mine weren't as good as the TJ's! I am not going to try my hand at sufganiyot this year, but found an amazing kosher bakery that has them for $1/piece, so I served those for dessert after the latkes and now my husband is spoiled and wants more!

Hi, I am GKU dirty lurker. I am going to try to participate in some of these weekly threads that apply to me.
Age of LO(s): DS just turned 2 a week ago
Circumstances: I had an ectopic pregnancy back in June. Since then my cycles have been somewhat irregular. My hypothyroid also could be playing a part in the somewhat irregular cycles.
Cycle: 4
CD/DPO: CD 6
RRCS: Nothing
GTKY- How do you keep everything organized during the holiday season? We don't put up too many decorations, so that helps. Also, I only have to buy gifts for a handful of people, so that helps with tracking gifts. For my husbands side of the family we typically only give cash or gift cards, since they all live 10+ hours away from us.
frodabaggins, mmm that sounds amazing! MH brought me home a stale jelly donut from Dunkin and it is NOT the same! woodenshoes, welcome, hope you will join in with us often! I'm sorry for your loss.
