caz1221 -There are a few of us TFAS'ers who GKU on cycle 1 with LO#1 (me included). It definitely adds that extra bit of ironic cruelty when struggling TTC#2.
So much this. I GKU with #1 on cycle 2 when I was 36 so I never imagined it would take this long for #2, even though I know fertility declines more rapidly after 37. Now here I am facing an appt with my ob to discuss testing.
judyblume14 - do you have a chart home page? If not, go to the FF website, there should be a "Sharing" drop down on the top toolbar. Click "Setup" under Charting Home Page. Then you should be able to either view it and copy/paste the url, or click the "Get Code" button, which will give you all the ways you can share your chart and put it in your siggy etc.

ellabee, yes, once I got CH the first time, I stopped with OPKs. But, in all honestly, in my 10 months of charting between this round, and trying for DD, I have never turned a single OPK positive. I've only ever seen the faintest of lines... not even a mediumish line.
And right, I'm not great at tracking CM, but there was no fertile CM after CD 16 (mayyybe 17)

Age of LO: 2yrs
Circumstances: TTC#2
Cycle/Month: 12/12
CD: 15
RRCS: Finding a full time sitter for what I can afford is a pain in the ass and seemingly impossible. I'm so over this! I wish I didn't have to work just so I didn't have this headache. Need a better paying job to pay a full time sitter, need the sitter in order to get the job. Ugh.
GTKY: DS is putting together more and more full sentences and he's figuring out how to say certain letter combinations that he couldn't before.
Lt @littleredm as I commiserate on the daycare issue. It's a stressful situation with affordability plus time mgmt. My ds would be at DC for longer than allowed (10 hrs?) and at times a little over closing time ($1/min!). I always felt I was doing something wrong either by him or by leaving work promptly. Now that DH is doing a stint as a SAHD I'm less stressed but unsure if financially we'll be able to maintain it.
Cycle/Month: oh lawd. I stopped keeping track after I realized I wasn't ovulating and my cycles went sideways.
CD: provera -3, just tapping my foot waiting for cd1.
RRCS: where is my fucking period?? Last cycle I had a ten day stint on provera and the first full day off it was cd1. The craziness inside me wants to poas. Not today fertility satan..
GTKY: I think this kid is fucking hysterical. The shit he comes up with blows my mind. Today his yogurt was "delicious" dunno where that came from, and last weekend he kicked up his feet and said he was "soooooo comfortable"

Age of LO(s): DS is 9 months this Thursday!
Circumstances: Just NTNP right now. This is only my 2nd PP cycle. Planning to actively TTC beginning late spring. But I'm a charting addict so...
Cycle/Month: 2/2
CD/DPO: 12 - still WTO
RRCS: blah. I'm on Day 2 of a Whole30 and I think I'm going through a sugar withdrawal. Also I'm taking Vitex for short LP (OK'd by my doc) and I hate the side effects. So basically I'm super unpleasant.
GTKY: Time to brag about your LO. What's something funny/sweet/smart your LO has done lately, or what milestone has he/she reached? Baby G thinks* errrrrything is hilarious. Mostly we all just crack up watching him laugh. There's nothing better than that sound.
I'm 34 | DH is 40 | Married October 2009 BFP August 2014 Baby Boy G Born April 2015 (induction at 37w due to IUGR) Currently NTNP | TTC Again Summer 2016

RRCS: I don't have any ovulation tests left and I was feeling so blah that I just decided to wing it.
GTKY: Time to brag about your LO. What's something funny/sweet/smart your LO has done lately, or what milestone has he/she reached? She has started mimicking so many of our actions. When I was rocking her before her nap, she rubbed her hands together and then wiped my face and said she was putting lotion on me. She's so cute.
RRCS: My Hcg is at 0 and I was officially given the all clear to try again! I was also caught off guard by the trouble this time around. I GKU on cycle #2 with DS. I thought we could plan it perfectly so I'm adjusting to the idea that any birth month and any age gap will be perfect. I'm also trying to be optimistic that it can still be quick even with the loss.
GTKY: Time to brag about your LO. What's something funny/sweet/smart your LO has done lately, or what milestone has he/she reached? His language is blowing up! His newest word is open; everything is "open?" And whoever said it before, he is also speaking "sentences" and having "conversations". I can't wait to understand these words!
Age of LO: 2 1/2 She just had her 30 month check-up today
Circumstances: Waiting until I see new docs about my Thyroid. One is my Gyno on the 26th.
Cycle/Month: t-1... hopefully
CD/DPO: 14
RRCS: Just waiting to hear back from the family doctor I want to see. He treats the rest of H's family. He was off all last week and then today. They are backed up. I understand, but am getting impatient.
GTKY: DD is afraid of flys and bugs. She screams when she sees them and it makes us smile and laugh. She was also a trooper when she got her flu shot today. I told her she would get a cool band aid. She cried for the shot, but as soon as I showed her the band aid she stopped and said how cool it was.
