Hello Ladies,
I hope I can find you all well and positive this week! TTCAL is a roller coaster of a journey. Ups and downs. Please don't be shy in asking the PGAL/PAL ladies questions if you have them.
Have your cycles gone back to normal? If so, how long did it take?
How often do you DTD? Steady throughout your cycle or just at peak times?
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?
Re: *TTC my Rainbow Check-In*
I almost forgot!
I am sending lots of baby dust to all of you!
GL!
Hey Angel Mamas,
It's my first check-in here. I've been meaning to do it but haven't so here I am!
Have your cycles gone back to normal? If so, how long did it take? They went back to normal pretty immediately. One month after Ethan's birth.
How often do you DTD? Steady throughout your cycle or just at peak times? We did EOD but now it's ED or sometimes 2x a day.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? Believe it or not, getting pregnant really isn't on my mind right now. I'm about to release another book in 90 days so that's all I've been preoccupied with.

Mine were back to normal right away. AF came about a month after baby Gary's delivery and were on track from there on out.
How often do you DTD? Steady throughout your cycle or just at peak times? This has been a MAJOR point of contention for us lately. I posted about it yesterday. DH just wants to go on as we were where as I would like to do every other day during my peak fertility times. We've had several heated discussions about it now and nothing is really resolved. I'm feeling pretty down about the whole thing right now and almost didn't even post this week because I feel like all I've done here lately is whine. It's so much different this time than it was with baby Gary. With him, we said one night that we just weren't going to prevent any more and two weeks later, there's our BFP. Now it feels like the stars have to be aligned perfectly to make this happen. I want my take home baby so badly, but I don't want to lose my connection with DH in the process.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?
All of the above. It's really all I can think about.
Hello! We are not officially trying yet but we have a consultation with my RE in 10 days so I am thinking about when we can start to TTC again.
Have your cycles gone back to normal? If so, how long did it take? Tomorrow will be a month and no sign of AF yet. My cycles have always been very irregular so I have no idea when AF will show. I have had several induced with provera so I would not be surprised if I need that again but my dr may want AF to come naturally. Hoping if he wants me to wait until AF shows naturally that it does not take too long.
How often do you DTD? Steady throughout your cycle or just at peak times? We have done IUIs and have DTD around the peak times. And right now, my desire (not sure how to put it) is VERY low. Must get it back for when we can start to TTC.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? Our one month angelversary is what is most on my mind and how much I miss my little boy. With turning 40 in a couple of months, my age & TTC are on my mind a lot too. I know we would like to add to our family but am trying to work on starting to come to terms that it may not happen.
Wishing everyone the best!!

Not normal yet. I went on the pill right after our loss to wait until we were ready to try. Now that I have stopped that I am hoping that I will get back to normal soon.

Steady through the cycle, it worked last time....
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?
Trying to not get super fixated on TTC. I dont want to get super worked up and stressed about it until we actually get pregnant. My MIL is coming to visit for the first time since we lost Colter. Feeling a little anxious about her visit....
