Age of LO(s): 1 yo
Circumstances: TTC, MTHFR & AMA
Cycle: 1 AL
CD/DPO: CD19/2 DPO
RRCS: I'm in my first official TWW.
GTKY - DS got many toys. None that are too annoying. His favorite is the set of balls we got him. They're bright, bouncy and have bumpy, pointy stuff all around. For a better grip? I dunno but he loves them. Between his bday gifts (dec 1st) and christmas all the toy boxes are overflowing. And many have been exiled to the basement.

Age of LO(s): 4
Circumstances: MFI (latest SA was normal)
Cycle: 8
CD/DPO: CD7
RRCS: I can't believe we are in our 8th cycle. I was thinking I would be having a baby early 2016 and now here we are. We're starting to have discussions about selling our house and moving so that is giving me all the anxiety right now.
GTKY - Lets discuss all the new toys that are taking over our homes after Christmas! Any faves? Any crazy or interesting gifts that LO got? Anything you can't wait to go away? Ugh I think I finally found a home for all this new stuff. I think DDs fave is her new baby doll from her Grandma. It's the American girl knock off at target...she's never been into baby dolls before but has really latched onto this one. We also got her this dang fur-real friends unicorn Starlily. It makes a lot of annoying noise and must go everywhere. I knew I would regret that purchase but DD loves it.

RRCS: Just wishing I was still sleeping. After having 5 days off from work it was really hard getting up at 4:30am this morning.
GTKY - Lets discuss all the new toys that are taking over our homes after Christmas! Any faves? Any crazy or interesting gifts that LO got? Anything you can't wait to go away? DS got so much shit for Christmas! DH and I got him a train table and a basketball hoop. My ILs got him a little shopping cart, an indoor tent thing and a wagon and my family got him a big dump truck, a little dump truck and a Mercedes (not a motorized one, just one he pushes with his feet). I spent most of Saturday re-arranging the play room multiple times trying to find the best way to fit everything. I'm still not done re-arranging.
Circumstances: I'll be 40 years old in 6 months, and I have one fallopian tube. We thought we were done at 2 (with biological kids), until we changed our mind at the end of August.
Cycle: 5
CD/DPO: CD18/ 8 or 9DPO (missing a temp)
RRCS: My chart (post-O) looks so different than the previous 4 and I'm trying not to get my hopes up because I know that doesn't mean anything.
GTKY - Lets discuss all the new toys that are taking over our homes after Christmas! Any faves? Any crazy or interesting gifts that LO got? Anything you can't wait to go away? My kids got the new Disney Infinity 3.0 (we also have the two previous versions) and they are both pretty psyched about that. My 8 year old is crazy about Webkinz and she got 5 new ones. We got my 6 year old a new Kindle because hers died a few months ago and she's really happy. They didn't get anything crazy, really. All the gifts were a hit.

Age of LO(s): 2
Circumstances: None special, TTC #2 since July
Cycle: 5/6
CD/DPO: 13
RRCS: See WTO, LOL. I'm tired and emotional tired. I didn't bother temping this morning because last night was so rough. I knew it would be inaccurate.
GTKY - Oh boy, he was spoiled. On my to do list this weekend or early next week is to go through his toys and get rid of some of the younger type toys. His faves from Christmas probably are: Tonka truck, Home Depot tool set with electric drill, and a(nother) John Deere tractor. He also enjoys the fire station play set he got. He's so spoiled.

Age of LO(s): 2 on Thursday!
Circumstances: AMA
Cycle: 8
CD/DPO: 5
RRCS: I still can't believe we're on cycle 8
GTKY - Lets discuss all the new toys that are taking over our homes after Christmas! Any faves? Any crazy or interesting gifts that LO got? Anything you can't wait to go away? She got so much stuff! I really need to pack away some of her older toys because I can't stand the clutter. Her big gift was a play kitchen and my parents got her a shopping cart with a bunch of food. She loves them but I have dishes and play food strewn all over my house and it's driving me nuts!
RRCS: My OB is on the conservative side and told us to wait one cycle after my CP. We had sex last night, and I thought we'd be totally fine on CD 9. (I o'd days 17-23 last time around.) Well I got an almost positive OPK this morning. Whoops.
GTKY - DD got all sorts of Frozen shit. Come on family, I'm trying to move her on to a new movie obsession!

Age of LO(s): Almost 16 months
Circumstances: TTC#2
Cycle: 5
CD/DPO: 19/?
RRCS: My cyle last month was 5 days shorter than usual. My chart has been super rocky this month. I typically O between CD13 and 15. FF still hasn't confirmed O at CD19. but my temp spiked again and more dramatically this morning, so I think I O'd? I don't know. Remember last week when i said we were going to have sex everyday for a week? We only made it through 5 days. I was just to tired last night. Now I'm kicking myself thinking it was the last day in my FW.
GTKY - We only got DD one gift (a pewi bike). She likes it, but she LOVES the ride-on Minnie Mouse airplane thing that my sister got her. I do feel like we're becoming overrun by toys, but that's more because we have a tiny condo. Our family for the most part stuck to our "please keep it light this year!" request.

CD/DPO: 27/11
RRCS: Temp dropped a little this morning so I'm starting to feel like I'm out this cycle.
GTKY - Lets discuss all the new toys that are taking over our homes after Christmas! Any faves? Any crazy or interesting gifts that LO got? Anything you can't wait to go away? DD LOVES her new play kitchen. And her Elmo chair. I'm not too annoyed with anything yet. Yet being the key word!
RRCS: Had our RE appt last week. She thinks I may have scarring from the traumatic birth I had with DS. I will schedule a SHG once I am on CD1 of next cycle. It was too busy with the holidays to get any testing done this cycle. I don't know what to even want out of all of it. Its very overwhelming. I am so burnt out from TTC that I am having a hard time caring/keeping up wiht temping. I just feel defeated.
GTKY - Lets discuss all the new toys that are taking over our homes after Christmas! Any faves? Any crazy or interesting gifts that LO got? Anything you can't wait to go away? It is not even funny how many toys he has. We are going to have to donate some for sure. I have probably 4-5 things I haven't opened or put together yet from his birthday (dec 8th) nevermind Christmas. Some I will just save and open when he wants something new to play with.

Circumstances: None
Cycle: 12
CD/DPO: 8
RRCS: Normally, watching DS be so gentle and cute with babies warms my heart but at the family gift exchange last night, I mostly wanted to just cry. Sigh.
GTKY: Hmmm...They aren't toys but DS got a pair of spurs for his boots and they're my favorite lol They are so cute! Most of his gifts aren't obnoxious so I'm pretty happy with what he got.
RRCS: Positive OPK this morning, so I'm thinking O will be today or tomorrow.
GTKY - Lets discuss all the new toys that are taking over our homes after Christmas! Any faves? Any crazy or interesting gifts that LO got? Anything you can't wait to go away? My ILs got DD a backyard play house, but we won't set it up until spring. She got to use the play house her cousins got (almost identical) while we were visiting over the weekend and loved it, so I think hers will be a huge hit once better weather comes. She also enjoys her new baby doll, magnetic fishing game, and a book where she has to find things on each page. We still have mini Christmas with my family coming up on Friday - I have no clue where I'm going to put the toys!

RRCS: eager to see my doctor next week to get the all clear to try again next cycle. Also, I've had the worst cold over true past week and it is finally breaking, thank god.
GTKY - Lets discuss all the new toys that are taking over our homes after Christmas! Any faves? Any crazy or interesting gifts that LO got? Anything you can't wait to go away? Some of his faves are the mega bloks, a wooden block that he hammers balls through holes, and a big green frog ball. So my bff's mom got him an obnoxious talking plastic helicopter, we'll see how long it lasts.

GTKY - Lets discuss all the new toys that are taking over our homes after Christmas! Any faves? Any crazy or interesting gifts that LO got? Anything you can't wait to go away? DD got a radio flyer trike that has stages she ADORES it. Also I made her a ball pit out of a baby pool and bought balls separately. I can take out the balls and add water in the summer.

britta, GL getting some sleep and hope it makes you feel emotionally better too jense927, sorry about feeling burnt out, FX that you get some good news at the RE and it helps move this along for you! thelittleredm, {hug} It's hard to see how ready you're family is to add another LO and not be able to do more than you already have
GTKY - I feel like Minnie Mouse threw up in our house. Its. Everywhere. Also, she got a "number oven" that sings non stop & DH and I catch ourselves singing "put an egg on it" all the time...

Hi, I'm new
Age of LO(s): DS, 17 months
Circumstances: TTC #2
Cycle: 1
CD/DPO: 23/4-ish
RRCS: I had all the signs of impending O last week, but I don't feel like temping yet, so I'm not exactly sure what day it happened. FF guessed it was day 18 (24th). I had mid-cycle spotting on day 19 (25th) (which made me hopeful I O'd or was about to) and that was also the only day we BD'd this cycle. So I'm hoping I got SUPER lucky, but also trying not to get my hopes up...onto the first TWW.
GTKY - I forgot what it's called (Beebop?), but this dancing Fischer Price robot is actually one of my favorites. I thought it was going to be super annoying (which it is, only slightly), but DS really loves it. So it gets to stay.
RRCS: I don't agree with FF on my CHs this cycle, but I guess I'll go with it for now.
GTKY - Lets discuss all the new toys that are taking over our homes after Christmas! Any faves? Any crazy or interesting gifts that LO got? Anything you can't wait to go away? DD loves her new princess castle pop up tent that her uncle gave her. She also loves her new stuffed doggie from her other uncle. It's name is "woofie".
Age of LO(s): a few days shy of 1. all. the. emotions
Cycle: 1
CD/DPO: 25/3
RRCS: PUMPED for CHs on FF!
GTKY - Lets discuss all the new toys that are taking over our homes after Christmas! Any faves? Any crazy or interesting gifts that LO got? Anything you can't wait to go away? smallllmin, my DS got a Beatbo too and that thing is cool as hell. Also wrapping paper. His favorite gifts were Beatbo and the wrapping paper.
Circumstances: PCOS, currently taking Metformin. H and LO both had Hand, Foot & mouth in December around O time, so I know that was a bust!
Cycle: 7 or 8, I lost track.
CD/DPO: CD2
RRCS: Can I be the noob who asks what RRCS stands for? Master Google wasn't helpful.
GTKY - Lets discuss all the new toys that are taking over our homes after Christmas! Any faves? Any crazy or interesting gifts that LO got? Anything you can't wait to go away?
An uncle got LO this remote controlled car thing that I think I enjoy waaaay more than the kiddo. LO has some developmental delays so can't walk yet, but it's kind of hilarious to see him crawl after the car as fast as he can. I have to let him catch it sometimes or he loses interest. I also like to drive it straight at the cat.
Circumstances: 4 pills to go until TFAS/NTNP! (no PP cycles yet, BFing)
RRCS: Yesterday we went out to visit DH's cousins and their two little ones (21 months and 2 weeks). Holding their baby girl made me so excited to start trying again, especially since their older boy was being so sweet with her. Hopefully DS will be like that when we have a second!
GTKY - Lets discuss all the new toys that are taking over our homes after Christmas! Any faves? Any crazy or interesting gifts that LO got? Anything you can't wait to go away? DS is the first grandchild on both sides and it was his first Christmas so we have a lot of toys. We're still on holidays so I haven't even gone through all of them yet. He did get a really cool sled from DH's parents and a toy cell phone from my parents that he just loves... maybe he'll stop trying to take mine now.

Age of LO(s): 11.5 months
Circumstances: NTNP, no PP AF, bf'ing LO
RRCS: we are visiting my parents for the holidays and they watched LO for us while we went and saw Star Wars. I wish they'd live closer to us. I miss them and it's nice having free babysitters.
GTKY - Lets discuss all the new toys that are taking over our homes after Christmas! Any faves? Any crazy or interesting gifts that LO got? Anything you can't wait to go away? Fave: probably his bath toys. He's never had some til now. Crazy/can't wait to go away: the car that mil got him. The noises are pretty loud and annoying.

Age of LO(s): almost 2 1/2
Circumstances: TFAS on hold until I see new docs for my hypothyroidism
RRCS: A friend of my cousin saw DD and I in Target yesterday, for the second time ever (last time was nearly 4 years ago), and after commenting on how cute DD was asked if I was going to "get pregnant again like cousin" (my cousin is pregnant with her 2nd and due in March). She then asked me if the family is bugging me about getting pregnant. I said no and that was it. It was very strange. Very very strange.
GTKY: We have a ton of Frozen toys. I'm ok with it though. I love seeing DD pretend to be a princess.
