Age of LO(s): 5 and 3 (this week!)

Cycle/Month: 3/6 (1AL)

CD/DPO: CD51

RRCS: crazy ass cycle. I don't temp though I may try next cycle. Used OPK and thought I O'd a long time ago. Spotted on what I thought was 12 and 13dpo. Then nothing. So I guess I didn't O. No clue. Two days ago I saw EWCM which is haven't seen in months. Then yesterday watery. Took OPKs and got a positive yesterday. So we boned last night and I guess I'll just wait and see. 6 months of TTC and I have only had 3 cycles. Friggin stupid body.
/end rant

GTKY - DD is OCD, you should see her get in bed lol. Has to have each stuffed animal in a very specific position, lay a certain way and the blanket has to be perfect. Certain number of hugs and kisses. It's ridiculous.

[littlelion]

thanks for starting ellabee , big hugs to you

Age of LO(s): DS 15 mo

Cycle/Month: 5AL boo

CD/DPO: don't care

RRCS: last cycle was a bust and I am feeling BLAH. Much better today than last week but I'm not sure if I want to track this cycle or not. I want a break, but at the same time I don't. 

GTKY- right now I think everything he does is funny. But he does have a habit of peering around, like his head and body look like an upside "L". He usually does it around corners but the other night he was standing next to me and I turn and his little head is sideways, staring at me. I LOL'd. 

[BabyStandish]

littlelion haha first I thought you said peeing instead of peering and I was like wait what??

[ellabee]

Yay for O yesterday ladytiffany24!
Boo for bodies that aren't with the program @irish. I definitely recommend giving temping a try... but I'm a data nerd kinda gal... And happy bday to your LO this week!

Age of LO(s): 2 in under 2 weeks.

Cycle/Month: 8? month 10 or something

CD/DPO: No clue.

RRCS:*loss trigger* Had my d&c yesterday. I think it went as well as it could. I'm sure this next cycle is going to be wonky. Half of me just wants to get back to TFAS, but the other half is seriously jaded right now. A big part of me is so sad for what this loss means for DD too. She is just so ready for a sidekick.

GTKY- Does your LO(s) have any funny habits?
She lines up all her stuffed animals on the floor and gets a dishtowel for each one to put them down for a nap (a la daycare style).

lol. No, peeing around would not be funny. 

[BabyStandish]

Age of LO(s): 14 months

Cycle/Month: NTNP, waiting on first PP af, currently bf'ing

CD/DPO: n/a

RRCS: starting last Thursday I've been trying to reduce DS's nursing sessions. I've cut him to 5-6 during the day (from like 8-10). He still nurses at night too so it's going to be a slow process. I'm hoping my period comes back soon though. I had EWCM on Friday and I of course have my hopes up again.

GTKY- Does your LO(s) have any funny habits? His dancing skills and how he shakes his booty always makes me laugh. Lately he's been dunking his face into the dog bowl and acting like a dog. The first time he did it was hilarious. He was so shocked.

[jubilantsquirrel]

Big hugs ellabee

Age of LO (s): 2 years old as of yesterday!!

Cycle/Month: 5/5

CD/DPO: 22/5

RRCS: Not much, just tired and I was late to work today because I overslept.

GTKY: He uses his blankets as a pillow and his pillow as a blanket. It never fails, whenever I lay him in his crib I put his head on his pillow and cover him with his blankets and then when I go check on him he's always switched them around.

[vlagroupie]

Hello!

Age of LO(s): 23 months, will be 2 on 4/9!!

Cycle/Month: 2/2

CD/DPO: CD9

RRCS: Just waiting to O

GTKY- Does your LO(s) have any funny habits? Uh yes, she is so weird sometimes. She likes to eat her cheerios out of her bowl like a dog, calls her paci a mucky (what?!), and could be ocd. She is obsessed with closing doors and drawers, nothing can be open.

[cheezee]

ellabee big hugs to you. So sorry to see you back here.
@irish sorry you're having a frustrating cycle. Hope you get back on track soon.

Age of LO(s): 4

Cycle/Month: 10/11

CD/DPO: pretty sure I am 2dpo. Hoping for
CH tomorrow.

RRCS: Only got one day in during FW. So I'm not too optimistic.

GTKY- Does your LO(s) have any funny habits? My favorite is when she's eating a yogurt tube or apple sauce pouch. She gets so aggressive with it and squeezes it with all her might into a ball. I tell her over and over again to use "scissor fingers". It doesn't help. The way she rubs the tag on her Lovie is so cute too.

[sleepymonkey]

Big hugs, ellabee. I'm so sorry you find yourself back here.

Age of LO(s): 2

Cycle/Month: 10

CD/DPO: 26/15

RRCS: After BFNs 12-14DPO, I'm just waiting for AF to start so I can move on to IUI#2

GTKY- Does your LO(s) have any funny habits? She asks "who bought that for me?" about everything. Toys, furniture, the carpet, whatever she sees. I have no idea where she got that from at 2 years old.

[littlelion]

ok, I thought of a funny habit DS has. When we take his shoes and socks off, he'll grab a sock and smell it. He has sweaty feet and we'll smell his socks and say "fuchi" and that's how he picked up that habit.

[littlelion]

sleepymonkey, sorry for the bfn's. hope the next iui is a success! 

[littlelion]

jubilantsquirrel, happy belated bday to your LO!

And happy early birthday to yours @irish!

[ellabee]

LOL @fuchi littlelion. My mom always used to say this. I tell DD her feet are stinky too with an exaggerated sniff. She also will smell her socks sometimes. Kids are hilarious.

[wildflower810]

:hugs: ellabee, I'm sorry to see you back here.

[amparo1981]

Age of LO(s):2.5ish

Cycle/Month:13

CD/DPO:1DPO

RRCS:Had a wonky IUI yesterday and SO was in a huge funk about it. I tried to talk him out of the funk, but it just went into "IVF has no long-term history (40+ years) of healthy kids" territory. Had to stop my eyes from rolling too hard.

GTKY- Does your LO(s) have any funny habits? Right now she seems to haven an internal timer that goes off every 3.5 minutes or so, evidenced by her asking "mama doing?" in that interval. If I don't report, she puts that question on a loop and stands next to me, repeating "mama doing? mama doing? mama doing?" ad nauseam.

[amparo1981]

ellabee, so sorry to hear about your MMC. Gentle hugs.


I've never had a MC, but DD seems so, so ready for a sibling and it's breaking my heart.

We were walking home from DC with another parent and she kept saying that her DC BFF had a sister and that she had one,too. I had to say, no, you have lots of friends, but you don't have a sister, while trying to keep the tone light. Urgh.

[ellabee]

amparo1981, we hadn't told DD that we were expected yet, because I didn't think she'd really be able to comprehend it until I was showing, but she was in my purse the other day (before we found out about the mc) and pulled out our ultrasound images from 6.5 weeks (when we saw a heartbeat). I showed it to her and said it was a little baby peanut. I asked if she thought it was a brother or a sister. She looked at me and said "sisser" and nodded enthusiastically. It makes me so sad to think at how sweet and affectionate and loving she would be to a sibling. ::big sigh:: Someday...

 All the tears right now. So, so sorry.

[judyblume14]

So, so sorry, ellabee.

Age of LO(s): 18 months

Cycle/Month: 8/8

CD/DPO: CD14 / WTO

RRCS: meh, noting to note

GTKY- Does your LO(s) have any funny habits?
She freak out and says "uh-oh!" whenever a single kibble is outside of the cats' food bowls.

[amandamh2]

Age of LO(s): 10.5 months

Cycle/Month: ?/3

CD/DPO: no PP AF yet due to BFing

RRCS: Ah the baby cold. Poor DS's nose is running like a faucet but he hates getting his face wiper and using the nasal aspirator.

GTKY- DS is at the age where he loves clapping. He'll do something then stop and give himself a round of applause and look at us to say "Look what I did, clap for me too."

[mrsp121308]

ellabee, I'm so sorry! Big hugs.

sleepymonkey, good luck with IUI#2, fx this is your cycle!

Age of LO(s): DD is 6, other DD is 4

Cycle/Month: 2/2

CD/DPO: 17, 4 dpo

RRCS: Just chilling here in the TWW wishing I could magically test earlier with accurate results so I don't have to either wait until after our trip out East or test during the trip.

GTKY- Does your LO(s) have any funny habits?
DD4 is obsessive about her writing/coloring. Like if she messes up, she can't keep using that page, it has to be started over on a new piece of paper. That's probably the only thing I can think of for her. I don't think DD6 has any habits really.

[Deleted]

Age of LO(s): DS just shy of 3.5yrs

Cycle/Month: 4/8

CD/DPO: 57/wto

RRCS: DS had his first eye exam last week, and he needs glasses. Does anyone have any experience with a preschooler earing glasses? He seems pretty excited right now, but im not sure what he'll think once we have them in hand.

GTKY- Does your LO(s) have any funny habits?

DS likes to play pretend a lot. All of his stuffies have voices, and if anyone asks if he has any pets he says yes and proceeds to tell them all about his stuffed toy dog.
He also has a tendency to take on characters and only reply to the name of said character. At christmas he would only reply to "santa", and recently he will only reply to "rockstar" while wearing his new electric orange aviators.

[daisylola11]

DS is 19 months

Circumstances : waiting till June to tfas

RRCS: we are on day 4 of no more nursing! So far so good too! DS has been going on a month of waking motn, if i rock him for 5 min he's good and goes back to sleep, but I don't want him to get use to it, and the attempts at just checking on him and not picking him up leads to hours of crying. I keep telling myself it's a phase and the weaning didn't help. My how I got use to sttn! I don't know how I got up every 2-3 hrs before lol

GTKY: He also likes pretending to sniff and make a yucky face when he sees shoes. We let him walk around in DSW and omg he was doing it to all the shoes!!! They're little weirdos.
