Re: TFAS Week of 1/25
What number are you trying for? #2
Month/Cycle? Sad to admit, I still don’t know how to answer this... third month trying (not consecutive), first after a loss!
WTO/TWW? WFAF, so I can WTO!
Ages of other child(ren)? 18 months
Any thoughts about this cycle? This cycle is super wonky after my CP in December. Still waiting...
Any questions? Not at the moment!
Rant/Rave? My daughter has been sleeping better through the night, but we still have that paci going! I don’t know how to even take it away now that we finally got her sleep back on track. At the moment we’re picking our battles and allowing her to have it at bed time (not during day).
GTKY: What fictional character does your child remind you of? What a great question! I’m drawing a blank, but if I had to choose I suppose Jasmine from Aladdin for my daughter (I have Disney on the brain listening to Disney Radio with her right now, haha). She’s super independent, with a little bit of sass!
My youngest held onto her paci past two. My kids don’t sleep well, and it wasn’t a battle I had the energy to undertake. We had lots of discussions about being a big kid and not needing it anymore. One morning she threw it away. I was floored! There were a couple tears the next bedtime but then it was over. (I think it was harder on me.) Good luck. It can be a hard transition.
What number are you trying for? #3
Month/Cycle? 3/4
WTO/TWW? WTO
Ages of other child(ren)? 4 & 2
Any thoughts about this cycle? Hopeful
Rant/Rave? Thank you for the recommendations on how to keep my oldest from overflowing her goodnights. The sposie pads are working great!
GTKY: What fictional character does your child remind you of? My oldest is a lot like Elsa - strong, determined, takes the role of older sister very seriously, loves deeply, is sensitive and has occasional explosive outbursts. My youngest is more like Olaf - cheerful, cuddly, will do anything to make others laugh, dances even if there isn’t music and is constantly discovering the world. They’re very different, and I love them both to pieces!
TTC#1 - 2 IVF cycles, 4 transfers, 2 miscarriages (LC age 4)
TTC#2 - a very welcome surprise without intervention (LC age 2)
Month/Cycle? 2ish
WTO/TWW? I think WFAF, I am technically “late” by 10days, all test negative and I have a history in high school and college of always skipping in January, don’t know why. So I think that’s all this is.
Ages of other child(ren)?two DD, Just turned 5 the 16th and other will be 3 in February.
Any thoughts about this cycle? Not really, our second baby was a bit of a surprise, so it’s been awhile at the waiting game trying to get pregnant. And I am an impatient person, so I forgot how much I hate this waiting game!
Any questions? N/A
Rant/Rave? I hate waiting lol

Honestly have no idea, never thought about it before. Our first daughter is affectionate, goofy, super smart, very grounded and obedient. Our second daughter is the complete opposite! She is stubborn, opinionated, likes her space and sometimes ruthless/mean. She will be someone that will be point blank with you.
