English is my only language. I took ASL in high school and loved it, I think it would be awesome to be fluent in that.

Age of LO(s): Turned 2 on 12/8!

Circumstances: TTC

Cycle: 10/12

CD/DPO: 29/9

RRCS: This is the cycle from hell. Had no clue what was going on for most of it. Now I am pretty convinced that I am 9 DPO. Started spotting 6 DPO which just really sucks. I feel like I am already out before I even had a chance! With DS birthday this past week and the reminder of the age gap getting bigger its just been hard. Plus I really wanted this cycle to work out as we are seeing an RE next Tuesday. Was hoping I could avoid that..

GTKY- Inspired by GKU's current troll, if you could pick any language to be fluent in which would you choose? Is there anyone here who is fluent in more than one language? If so, which ones? I would love to be fluent in more than one language!! I love French! I studied it in high school and always wished I was fluent! Also Spanish would be useful to speak fluently as well.

Cycle: 7

CD/DPO: 18/3

RRCS: I just made an appointment for January to see my ob to discuss possible testing. I'm glad I finally made the call since I've been procrastinating on doing that for a few weeks.

GTKY- Inspired by GKU's current troll, if you could pick any language to be fluent in which would you choose? Is there anyone here who is fluent in more than one language? If so, which ones? I would really love to be fluent in Spanish. It's spoken a lot in parts of FL and I just think it would be helpful to know it. I felt like I was at a disadvantage not knowing Spanish when I lived in Miami.

Circumstances: MFI

Cycle: 7

CD/DPO: 5dpo

RRCS: Totally on the crazy train already. This is going to be a long TWW. I'm trying hard not to compare symptoms to my other BFPs years ago but I keep going back to old charts and comparing.

GTKY- Inspired by GKU's current troll, if you could pick any language to be fluent in which would you choose? Is there anyone here who is fluent in more than one language? If so, which ones?
I would love to be fluent in Spanish. It would help me tremendously at work. But I just rely on translators.

[BabyStandish]

Age of LO(s): 11 months

Circumstances: NTNP, no PP AF yet, BFing LO

Cycle: n/a

CD/DPO: n/a

RRCS: just twirling my thumbs over here waiting for AF to come back.

GTKY- Inspired by GKU's current troll, if you could pick any language to be fluent in which would you choose? Is there anyone here who is fluent in more than one language? If so, which ones?
German. I lived there for 4.5 years when I was younger so I'd like to go back one day.

[jwinct]

Age of LO(s): 2 girls, ages 6 and 8

Circumstances: Thought I was done at 2, then we changed our minds a few months ago. I'm 39 and have one fallopian tube.


Cycle: 5

CD/DPO: CD4


RRCS: Being off BCP + unseasonably warm weather = teenage-like zits on my face. Not pleased.


GTKY- Inspired by GKU's current troll, if you could pick any language to be fluent in which would you choose? Is there anyone here who is fluent in more than one language? If so, which ones? I'm fluent in English and Pig Latin. It would be most helpful to be fluent in Spanish around here.

[WittyLittle]

I feel like I'm cheating on the TTCAL thread (and that makes me feel like I'm cheating on the TTCAL board) I'm such a dirty cheat today... and a PW. but here goes!

Age of LO(s): 10 months

Circumstances: Infertility runs in my family, with 5/8 women having major fertility struggles

Cycle: 3

CD/DPO: CD4

RRCS: nope for once.

GTKY- Inspired by GKU's current troll, if you could pick any language to be fluent in which would you choose? Is there anyone here who is fluent in more than one language? If so, which ones? I'm fluent in Dutch and English (I am Dutch), speak reasonable German and French, and beginners' Greek and Spanish. Just because of moving around a lot as a kid, not at all a linguistic mastermind!

[penguin129]

Age of LO(s): soon to be 2 1/2

Circumstances: Waiting to see a new doctor about my thyroid once my new insurance kicks in

Cycle: We were on 2, but stopped trying before my FW due to my TSH levels rising out of the normal range. H and I both agree our first cycle in November shouldn't count because my cycle was bonkers due to all the meds I was taking for the sinus infect and O a week later than norm. We didn't hit any days because I didn't realize until it was too late.

CD/DPO: 17

RRCS: I have insurance starting 1/1 and will be seeing H's family's family doctor. They've been seeing him 20 + years and 3 generations go to him.

GTKY- Inspired by GKU's current troll, if you could pick any language to be fluent in which would you choose? Is there anyone here who is fluent in more than one language? If so, which ones? Maybe French. Just because I took it in college.

[judyblume14]

Age of LO(s): 15 months
Circumstances: TTC #2
Cycle: 5
CD/DPO: 5/WTO
RRCS: This month's was a particularly annoying CD1. The past cycle was the first that I had confidence in our timing. Of course, I started testing at 8DPO, jsut asking for disappointment. And, most annoying was that my cycle was only 23 days, compared to the 27-28 days I'm used to.

GTKY- Inspired by GKU's current troll, if you could pick any language to be fluent in which would you choose? Is there anyone here who is fluent in more than one language? If so, which ones?
I'd like to be fluent in French. It's what I took in middle/high school. I could still read it and understand a little bit. but speaking? No way!

[sammysam]

Age of LO : 22 months

Circumstances : Deciding if we should TFAS

RR: DD has a fever. My mom keeps telling stories about the joys of having more than one child (I made the mistake of telling her I wasn't sure that having 2 was right for us).

GTKY: I am bilingual (English and French). My brother is one of those people who hears a language and is fluent in it like 5 minutes later. He is fluent in English, French, Korean, German, Latin, Spanish, Ojibwa, ...I'm sure I'm missing some...
I would love to be fluent in Ukrainian as that is where my and my SO's mothers were born and lived as children.

[penguin129]

sammysam I hope your DD feels better soon. My DD also has a fever. The nurse told me if she still has a fever Friday I should bring her in. I hope you are able to make a decision about TFAS on your own timeline. Sorry you mom is pressuring you.

Age of LO(s): 3yr old DS

Circumstances: TFAS and hypothyroid

Cycle: cycle 3/month 5

CD/DPO: 40

RRCS: no O confirmed by FF, since my chart is so crazy. I think it was around Friday though, due to secondary signs.

GTKY- Inspired by GKU's current troll, if you could pick any language to be fluent in which would you choose? Is there anyone here who is fluent in more than one language? If so, which ones?
I took all of my schooling in french immersion from JK (age 4) until I graduated highschool, so I used to be fairly fluent and I can get it back once I use it for a few hours. We are planning to put DS into a full francophone school starting in preK (age 4).

I would love to be fluent in ASL because my DH'S grandmother is deaf. She technically speaks MSL, but it is a mostly dead dialect and she understands ASL. I've picked up some, but I would like to know more.

[sammysam]

penguin129 Thank you! DD is asleep beside me now and burning up. I can feel the heat radiating off of her. She had a horrible fever about a year ago and was throwing up in her sleep so I took her to emergency...but the kids there seemed way worse so I took her home again after she saw a nurse. Now I try not to take her in unless I really feel I have to. How is your DD feeling? I hope her fever breaks and that it will be gone long before Friday! And sorry to hear that you're back on the bench for a while. It must be so frustrating. Hopefully it won't be for long. How are you feeling about the whole situation?

[sammysam]

@sparky85 I went all through immersion too...and then one of my degrees is also in French...and one if the subjects I teach is French immersion math. I am planning on putting DD in immersion as well. I can't put her into a full francophone school here unless we are actually "French"...which we are not. My brother in law is though so if my sister ever has children they will go to a Francophone school.

[Deleted]

sammysam we will have to "prove" our french history for the francophone school since DH doesn't speak it (and we don't speak it at home as a result). Luckily I speak it, and we have the family tree to back up the claim.

Age of LO(s): 10 months

Circumstances: TFAS post chemo and still BFing

Cycle: cycle 1/1

CD/DPO: 21/5

RRCS: none really. I am a little concerned that our timing was early this month, but it's not over till it's over.

GTKY- Inspired by GKU's current troll, if you could pick any language to be fluent in which would you choose? Is there anyone here who is fluent in more than one language? If so, which ones?
I would probably choose Spanish or Manderin. Super boring, but probably the most useful. As it is, I know some French but I am far from fluent.

[sammysam]

@sparky85 That's great that you have that heritage! I wish kids didn't have to be French to go to a Francophone school though. You would think they would want as many people learning the language and the culture as possible. But I did teach in a French immersion center before...so no English at anytime in the school...and it was much more helpful when at least one parent spoke the language. So I guess I can see where they are coming from.

Age of LO(s): almost 8 months

Circumstances: TFAS in January

RRCS: My kid is crazy, a total daredevil. Now that he's figured out pulling up to stand he thinks the logical next step is climbing EVERYTHING.

GTKY- Inspired by GKU's current troll, if you could pick any language to be fluent in which would you choose? Is there anyone here who is fluent in more than one language? If so, which ones?
I'm not really fluent in anything besides English but I know a fair bit of French from elementary-high school and German which I took in university. I taught myself a bit of Spanish before going to Mexico. I love languages and would love to improve my skills in all of the ones I mentioned.

[amparo1981]

Age of LO(s): 2 last Aug



Circumstances: trying....



Cycle: 9



CD/DPO: 9DPO



RRCS: want to test so bad.



GTKY- I speak English, German, and Spanish fluently (German dad, Colombian mom, grew up in Kansas). French reasonably well (one year in France). Italian less well (one year in Italy but with a German boyfriend). I'd like to be able to speak Chinese or Turkish.

RRCS: CM confuses me. That is all.

GTKY- Inspired by GKU's current troll, if you could pick any language to be fluent in which would you choose? Is there anyone here who is fluent in more than one language? If so, which ones?
Practically I would want to speak French because DH took it in college and it would be cool to raise our kids to be bilingual. However I think ASL is beautiful and I've been enjoying teaching some of it to DD.

[penguin129]

sammysam The fever is down as long as I give her Tylenol. I feel ok about waiting. I really do. We were trying to jump start without all all ducks in a row. I do wonder how old DD will be when the next baby is born. There's nothing we can do about that though.

[sammysam]

penguin129 I think a bigger age gap is nice. I am just under 4 years older than my sister and although we are close as adults we NEVER played together growing up. My brother's kids are 7 (8 in January), 9 and 12. DD is 2 in January and the 3 of them LOVE her. They spend their weekends with us (sleep over every weekend ). They are old enough that they don't mind if the attention is not all theirs and don't mind following DD's directions, but young enough that they still love to play with DD's toys with her. I think that no matter what the age difference they will love eachother.

Cycle: 2



CD/DPO: 23/5



RRCS: DD has been waking up MOTN and then again early morning, its messing with my temp time so I have quite a few empty circles. If I don't get pregnant this cycle I am going to change my temping time to like 4am and then just go back to sleep until DD wakes me up at her usual 5:45 ?bleck



GTKY- I speak some Spanish but mostly related to healthcare stuff. I understand more than I speak so it always funny when 2 ladies talk about me in Spanish and I am like "I understand what you're saying!" Also, since I am now a SAHM I don't use it much and it's totally true about "Use it or lose it"
