TFAS w/o 9.28

ashaislurking

Trying to start the signature poll this morning did... not work out as planned. Trying to transition threads over as fast as I can SO the TFAS thread might look a bit weird this week.

**This is a check-in for those with babies/children at home. Please be mindful that the discussion of living children in the WTO/TWW threads is prohibited unless extremely pertinent to your current cycle.**

**If you are having a hard day re TTC or TTCAL, please note that this thread will discuss living children and/or issues specifically dealing with parenting and/or babies. Previous pregnancy experiences may also be mentioned. Please lurk at your own discretion.**

Ages of other child(ren)? 17 months 

Any thoughts about this cycle? I feel good about it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Any questions? Nope

Rant/Rave? Holy separation anxiety. DD bawls every time I take her to daycare and it’s slowly killing me inside. She loves it there but she cries at drop off and pick up and it’s breaking my mama heart. 😢

GTKY: We don’t have Popeyes, Zaxby’s, or Canes so any of those is fine. As long as Taco Bell stays forever, I’m good!

Any thoughts about this cycle? Stupidly optimistic as usual. Got pretty crosshairs today so theres that. 

Any questions? Nope

Rant/Rave? A cool front has finally brought "Fall" to Texas 🍁🍂

GTKY: I am an old fashioned McD girl. 

@chindimples04 DS uses to cry for the loooongest time (until 2.5ish) but now he just needs 2 big hugs and he runs off.

@chindimples04 ooh I feel for you, we went through that around your DD's age and now my little guy actually just skips away and doesn't even say goodbye to me and this breaks my heart in a different way LOL.  

What number are you trying for? #2

Month/Cycle? 1/1

WTO/TWW? TWW (could be very wrong on this though)

Ages of other child(ren)? 26 months today!

Any thoughts about this cycle?  Not really, just the first so don't have very high expectations

Any questions? no

Rant/Rave? None - raved about the weather we're having in my TWW post but no rants so far this week (harrr that is likely to change quickly, stay tuned).

GTKY: There is a McDonald's right by my house AND my office so that's usually my choice

@chindimples04 My oldest did the same at daycare around that age. It's so hard. Hang in there!
@legendairymomma Lol I'm curious what "fall" looks like in Texas. We had a cold front here in Iowa today too.
@canucklehead123 I'm glad you're actually getting to enjoy autumn instead of hitting winter weather already!

What number are you trying for? 3
Month/Cycle? 8/7
WTO/TWW? WTO
Ages of other child(ren)? 6, 2
Any thoughts about this cycle? Hopefully my progesterone improves in the TWW. We're doing monitoring again at 7-9 DPO so we'll see what comes of that.
Any questions? Nope
Rant/Rave? Now that I'm back on track with grad school and have a slightly less hectic week I can get ODS back on track with his school work! It's so crazy needing to balance both of our school schedules. Hopefully I can work out a good compromise soon. I'm also having a slightly better week TFAS. I'm trying to distance myself from my friend's pregnancy as much as possible and have asked her to not directly send me any updates while I'm still trying. Thankfully she's been respectful of that so far.
GTKY: I would get rid of Chick-fil-a. Haven't eaten there in years and don't plan on eating there again.

@chindimples04My DD went though a stage like that as well and it made drop-off so sad. Now she is excited to go see her little friends. Give it some time and the drop-offs will get better. 

@legendairymomma how nice to have fall weather. We are still sticky and humid in FL.

@canucklehead123 my DD is the same! 

@ashaislurking thats great that your friend has been respectful of your wishes at you TFAS. I feel like each time I got o social media I see another sibling announcement from friends. 

What number are you trying for? #2

Month/Cycle? 2/2 (but IUD was removed October 2019 and we were loosey-goosey trying until a couple months ago)

WTO/TWW? TWW 

Ages of other child(ren)?n  26 months

Any thoughts about this cycle? I was feeling pretty good but then took a HPT and got a BFN after I posted earlier in TWW. But I also had a temp spike this AM...or it could be user error, had lots of those this month.

Any questions? Maybe there is hope from a BFN on 13 DPO to turn into a BFP?

Rant/Rave?I assumed that TTC #2 would just "happen" like it did with #1. DD conceived the next full cycle after  I got off BC. Now I'm over here freaking out that I'm going to have trouble, there will be a large age gap, I'm 36, I've gained weight over the last 6 months...

GTKY: Umm... Popeyes

Any thoughts about this cycle? ugh

Any questions? none

Rant/Rave? We've got a cold running through our family. MH was the first to get it last week and actually went and got a Covid test which came back negative thankfully but now myself and DS have it. He is home from daycare with me today while MH works. I just took the day off because I didn't want to deal with managing pointless Webex meetings with MH schedule and momming. Daycare was kind of being a stickler about staying home. She said that if he has more than one of the less common symptoms then he would need to stay home for 10 days. I had to explain that I think the wording is weird and that congestion and runny nose are considered one symptom because that's all he really has, no fever or cough. It's just going to suck managing our lives and WFH if we are going to have to quarantine every time he gets the sniffles. I should maybe start him on elderberry or something. 

GTKY: Canes 100%

@And846 don't be afraid of larger age gaps. Mine will be at least 5 years apart. I just see it as having a helper around. A 5 year old can get me a diaper or water or snack when I am stuck. They can also feed or hold the baby so I can pee. 
@krash_ ahh the joys of the daycare germs magnified by 1893000. Thanks covid19.

What number are you trying for? 3

Month/Cycle? 2/2

WTO/TWW? TWW, 4dpo

Ages of other child(ren)? 5.5 and 4

Any thoughts about this cycle? It seems promising, but who knows. I am not 100% certain I O'd based on FF, so its a little confusing.

Any questions? nope

Rant/Rave? I can't get the hang of temping on a regular schedule. My sleep schedule is all over the place day to day.

GTKY: we don't have Canes or Zaxby's, so I am going to go with Popeye's.

daisy528

@chindimples04 I have been there with the crying at drop off. She cries at pick up too? Is it that she doesn't want to leave, or so excited to see you? FWIW, my son finally got over it, and now does great for drop offs. Hang in there!
@legendairymomma nothing better than fall weather!
@canucklehead123 my son also just skips away! I was heartbroken when he forgot to give me a hug on his first day of kindergarten LOL
@ashaislurking I am glad your friend gets it and isn't bombarding you with pregnancy updates.
@And846 I also had no issues with TTC my first two. Granted, I am only on cycle two right now since trying, and this is our first cycle being more serious about it. I think I just assumed I would get KU quickly again like before.
@krash_ I am dreading cold season for that reason exactly. I feel like I am going to have to take so much time off for stupid runny noses and stuff. I get being overprotective since COVID, but still... its going to be so hard.
