Age of LO(s): DS 15 mo
Cycle/Month: 5AL
CD/DPO: CD20/7DPO
RRCS: just freaking out that we didn't HIO enough times or with enough frequency.
GTKY- No kid apps on my phone yet. I'll be looking here for some suggestions! Other than tapatalk, the only app I really use is pic stitch (makes picture collages).

Age of LO(s): DS 14 months
Cycle/Month: 1st pp cycle!
CD/DPO: CD2
RRCS: I've never been do happy to get a period before! I was limiting his nursing sessions a few weeks ago and I think that finally did the trick. I'm so glad my body is worth the program now.
GTKY- No kid apps on my phone yet. He does love simple learning songs on YouTube though.
RRCS: I seriously do not know where the time went. DD is so big. I've never wanted her to have a sibling more than now. We are so ready to grow our family.
GTKY- What is your favorite app on your phone? I'm always looking for fun kids apps too...Does LO have a fave? I do everything on my phone. I'm not sure I could pick a favorite app. I don't have anything for DD on it other than youtube though.

Age of LO(s): 4
Cycle/Month: 11/12
CD/DPO: CD4
RRCS: not much today.
GTKY- I'm still semi addicted to candy crush. I just can't quit it. DD loves the app letter quiz and she can trace all the letters and there are other alphabet things on there.
RRCS: My boss told me this morning that May-Sept if we want we can work four 10 hour days every other week so we will have every other Friday off. I already have a list of things I want to do with all of my bonus days. Not a bad Tuesday so far!
GTKY- What is your favorite app on your phone? I'm always looking for fun kids apps too...Does LO have a fave? I had the Fisher Price Giggle Gang app on my phone for DD when she was younger. It's basically these dancing animal things and a baby giggling in the back ground. It was perfect for months 9-15 but I think she has outgrown it now. She mainly requests Bitsy Spider and Choo Choo Train on YouTube now.
Edit: AFM I use my MapMyRun app on the reg and I love it.
Also question for those who have potty trained children or are potty training currently or almost there. What potty did you all buy to get them started with? I'd like to start introducing DD to the potty and was just wondering which potty you all thought was best.
RRCS: my kid has been a nursing fiend lately. He's never been like this before. I keep wondering if it will push back O even more since I was off the last 5 days. Really hoping for not another long cycle, but I'm pretty sure I'm in it for the long haul again this time as I have absolutely no signs O is even close to being here.
GTKY- What is your favorite app on your phone? I'm always looking for fun kids apps too...Does LO have a fave? I'm ADDICTED to blendoku. He is still pretty little, but is ridiculously thrilled with himself when he's actually able to get his hands on my phone.
New around here, and this looks like a good place for me to get my feet wet!
Age of LO(s): 10 months
Cycle/Month: 7 (started TTGP as soon as I got my first PPP)
CD/DPO: 15/?
RRCS: (I'm still not sure what RRCS means.)
I posted a little intro on the 2IF board yesterday. I'm not exactly sure where I belong! We've been trying for about seven months. We haven't been at it that long but last month we were referred to an RE because of my age. I was a bit taken back by that but went ahead with it anyway.
We were really lucky to get in almost immediately and get the ball rolling on all the testing. I did all the CD3 bloodwork the day of my appointment and had an ultrasound. I had an HSG the next week. As it turns out, I have PCOS, and we just got the results of the SA back, and there are some issues there as well. So far the plan is Metformin for me and for both of us some dietary changes + no alcohol.
Right now I'm trying to get used to the Metformin. I've been ramping up on it for about three weeks and was doing well; however, today was the first time I tried two pills in the morning. I'm supposed to end up taking two in the morning and two at night. It's not going well. I feel awful. Like, super awful. I took it with food early this morning, but now I feel nauseated. If anyone has any magic tricks to taking Metformin, I'd love to hear it!
GTKY- Right now my guy just loves watching videos of himself!
ETA: I ready that GTKY wrong. Favorite app for myself? Facebook addict. Guilty.

BabyStandish hooray for AF showing up so you can get the show on the road! ellabee happy birthday to your DD! pivot we never used a little potty and just put a little seat on our toilet. DD was never really interested until after 2 though. bostonbaker welcome! Glad I'm not the only candy crusher left. siouxsieq welcome! Glad you are getting some answers from the RE's testing. Best of luck to you! eameselephant sorry for impending CD1. @kcnumbers welcome!
pivot , I'll have to check what kind of potty we have. It was a hand-me-down and we are just about to start trying to potty train. DS understands when we ask about peepee and the such so getting him on it now seems like a good start. I do like the little seats that attach to the toilet so it looks less cluttered in the bathroom. And if we get resistance with the baby potty, he may like getting on the real one since he see's me on that plenty.
siouxsieq , welcome! RRCS= Rant Rave Chart Stalk. I'm also AMA and it's good that they got things going for you. GL with the testing!
@kc295905 , Welcome and good luck! My bmb is Jan15 and we're a small group. It's fun to play over here in GKU but I'm still very active with my bmb.
MapleMomma , My ds had low iron too. We tested a couple times since I didn't want to do supplements and he was born a preemie. He was fine at his last appt. I try to always include spinach in his eggs, beans and lentils are in his weekly diet. Hope you LO has no more issues!

Age of LO: 21 mos
Cycle/Month: 1/1 of NTNP
CD/DPO: CD2
RRCS: I was so excited to get my period yesterday! lol... I didn't get one in Feb (side effect of steroids for a sinus infection). I'm excited to learn more about tracking my cycles and got a BBT thermometer the other day.
I also found out I have a bicornuate uterus when I had DS so I am doing a couple tests to make sure everything looks good before we really get serious about TTC #2 -- I had an ultrasound and an MRI, and have an HSG next week!
GTKY: I mostly use tapatalk, FB, and IG. Also Realtor -- I love looking at houses haha. DS likes YouTube and FaceTime! He finds the most random (innocuous) things in YouTube (i.e., a minion eating m&ms)... He would watch it on a constant loop if I let him.

Age of LO(s): DS is 15 months
Cycle/Month: still dealing with loss
CD/DPO: not there yet
RRCS: nanny gave notice yesterday, now we have to start interviewing new ones. We made it a point to only ask for long-term applicants and our first one lasted 3 months.
GTKY- What is your favorite app on your phone? I'm always looking for fun kids apps too...Does LO have a fave? Two Dots, hands down. It's a super addicting, pretty simple game, and also refreshingly well designed. DS just likes swiping on my phone in general. I downloaded one fisher price app where shapes with smiley faces bounce around, he likes that one.
ETA stupid quote fails, oh well
@ellabee happy bday to your little one! @kcnumbers holla D14 - I fell off the boat but glad to see the torch is still burning

littlelion How many months did you have to do testing for? How old was your lo when you started testing? I have a history of anemia even with a lot of iron sources in my diet, so we have been supplementing her, but I don't want it to be long term.

We did the first at 9 mo, then follow up at 10, 12 and just last week at 15. At 9 and 10 mo it was low and then ok at 12 and 15. I wasn't expecting the one at 15 mo and hope it's the last...his poor finger bleeds a lot!

Oh- we actually had to do a blood draw, like from her arm. The first test was from her finger and then when that showed low numbers, we had to do repeat draws from her arm.

Age of LO(s): 3 ahhhhhh Cycle/Month: I'd have to look it up, 15+mos. trying to save up for RE CD/DPO: NTNP this cycle. I think I'm on the crazy train. Not sure why I think that my body would do what it is supposed to on its own when it hasn't for the last year but I've somehow convinced myself this is the month. Anyway I'll test this weekend for shits and giggles. And then probably tears. RRCS: See novel above. So pumped the weather is getting a bit warmer and the sun is shining more!! GTKY- What is your favorite app on your phone? I'm always looking for fun kids apps too...Does LO have a fave? I play hay day. It's so stupid and wastes so much time but I kinda love it. DS likes YouTube. Hope everyone has a great week!
Hello everyone! This is my first post here, and while we are not quite ready to start TTC just yet, I am getting myself reacquainted with FF and temping in preparation to start TTC this Summer.
Age of LO(s): 6.5 mo DD
Cycle/Month: 2/1
CD/DPO: CD 1
RRCS: I am finding it to be really hard tracking BBT with an infant. Since my cycles are longer PP I would like to at least know when I am ovulating so we have a solid history in FF when we are ready to start AI.
GTKY- What is your favorite app on your phone? I'm always looking for fun kids apps too...Does LO have a fave? By far the white noise app. We also really like 123 Kids Fun Flashcards. It might be a little early for this one, but it keeps my LO entertained so I'm all for it.
