variety pack post (incl an AW of LO)

I had a few things to write about so put them all in one post. Reply to one or none whatever you feel..

1. I need to be nicer about drive-bys. I don't reply usually but every time I out loud say "I DON"T CARE"

2. Posts about TTC for 1 year or more made me think of a question. If you only have a few cycles in 1 year, like my 1st cycle is in the 90 day range now, is it just the calendar year that matters? (TMI- bc during this long cycle we kinda gave up EOD and are back to 1-2x/week, so DH doesn't think that counts as TTC)

 3. Is an occasional AW of LO ok here. Obviously not going to AW every little thing, but LO took her first steps today and this is the only board I write on anymore. 

4. HAHA I just AW'd in a deceptive way...

1. I need to be nicer about drive-bys. I don't reply usually but every time I out loud say "I DON"T CARE" No shame in that

2. Posts about TTC for 1 year or more made me think of a question. If you only have a few cycles in 1 year, like my 1st cycle is in the 90 day range now, is it just the calendar year that matters?

LOL, I read the post and the congrats replies and think, I'm never even going to fake interest, these women are so much nicer than me. Maybe my inability to fake interest has something to do with my limited number of female friends IRL.. haha

Ever since my m/c I can't pretend to be happy for the drive by BFPs. I love seeing BFPs from those that I know, but the constant drive bys just get old.

1. No you don't. I just try not to be mean.

2. I would go with the calendar year. Cycles that long can indicate a problem, so you may want to check with your doctor before a year if it happens again. After 60 days they will usually jump start AF.

3. YAY! That's so exciting (and I don't mind the deceptive AW). You may want to post something in your title to warn anyone that it may bother, though.

I will typically ignore them until the OP gets biitchy and self-righteous, demanding our congratulations.

I don't know what the "right" answer is, but I would think 1 calendar year or 12 cycles, whichever comes first. I have short cycles, so for me, 12 cycles will come before 1 calendar year.

Yeah, I would just put "AW: BR" for baby-related in the subject.

Re #2: I think the statistic is that most couples conceive within 12 cycles.  So my opinion is that after a year, it's up to you and your doctor whether or not you want to hold out for the 12 cycles (after which you probably will conceive) or if you want to help everything along.  As previous poster said, if you're having very long cycles, provera might be the ticket.

1. I need to be nicer about drive-bys. I don't reply usually but every time I out loud say "I DON"T CARE" Drive-bys are rude. No need to be nicer.

Thank you so much! It was very exciting. I think if I hadn't yelled in excitement and made her laugh she may have continued. I'm just lucky she's done all of her firsts when I'm not working.

Yay for first steps!! Jack didn't take his until 14 months, and that was after ear tubes (he had about zero balance before then). Have fun with that! They grow too fast...

I don't usually respond either, but it is guaranteed that I will say something out loud or in my head like: "Oh for fvck's sake, fvuck off...."

I'd consider it TTC if you're not TTA. 1-2 times a week is still having sex, so there's still a chance that it could happen.

I don't have a problem with it, and your LO is so cute!

1) Eh, I figure if I don't have anything nice to say- don't say anything at all. I don't typically have anything nice to say about drive bys.]

2) 12 months or cycles, whichever comes first unless you have identified a specific problem that you need advice on such as a short (<10day) luteal phase, consistently annovular cycles, cycles that don't end naturally (in which case you're at the doc for provera anyway- might as well ask), a diagnosis that indicates fertility trouble (PCOS, Endo, etc- in which case again you should be under tha care of a doc and it doesn't hurt to ask when you see them) or you're over 35- in which case all of this get shortened to 6 months.

3) Aw, Your LO is adorable
