Parenting after a Loss

TTC Check in today?

I didn't see one posted last week or today.  I hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes posting this? If so please let me know!

How is everyone doing?  Where are you at in your cycles?  

AF showed up yesterday so DH and I are officially back on the TTC band wagon.  I ordered my OPK's and pregnancy tests today.  It was so weird to look back and see that my last order was in 2011!  Sometimes it's still surreal to me that DS is 8 months old already and we are trying for baby #2.  I'm nervous but excited and just trying to take it one day at a time.

Re: TTC Check in today?

  • I've been the one doing it, but got busy with vacation and didn't get to it last week. I'm not really in a good place to do it lately [AF letting me know she's imminent today and an EDD coming next month] . Would someone else be game to take this over?

    Junebug I'm sorry things are tough right now but I definitely understand.  I'd be willing to take it over if there are still ladies interested in participating in the Check-in?

  • Huge hugs Junebug. Sending lots of love. 3

    Good luck Crystal! I just recently started TTC, so I know what you mean, it seems weird and intimidating to be starting this journey all over again.

    I'll play for now since you posted. My first cycle of TTC was a flop. I started spotting today which means AF will show tomorrow. I was 3 days late which really toyed with my mind, even though I knew my timing sucked this cycle. I'm hoping for better this coming cycle.

    Thanks, hun.

    Sounds like we'll pretty much be cycle buddies. My AF should be showing anytime between tomorrow and Sunday, likely Sunday [Happy Mothers Day, right?] Looks like I'll be able to squeak one more cycle in before my EDD...as in AF should be due right around then [joy of joys]

  • Junebug, big hugs for the upcoming EDD.  I'm sending lots of good vibes for your next cycle.

    I'm still in waiting to O territory.  CD 56 :(  My longest PP cycle yet was 63 days, but they had been getting shorter and shorter...until now  I thought when the last one was down to 52 days I might be getting close to "regular".  Wrong.

    I'll be joining after my BIL wedding in July so I've begun to OPK and pay attention to how my body is working post baby.  I've also stopped the BC and we're using other methods now.  I haven't gotten a positive OPK since I've been testing so that is my goal currently.

    Junebug - I'm sorry - I'm beginning to remember how much this sucks.  (BIG HUGS)

    This is cyle #9.  Good news is that I ovulated this time - but I'm 95% sure that it's another busted cycle - BFN this morning at 12DPO and I'm feeling like AF is coming.  This is my first time going into double-digits TTC territory and I'm not loving it.  DH told me that he's not super-fixated on a baby anymore - he'll be disappointed if we don't have anymore but "at this rate this whole TTC thing is not letting us move forward".  I agree with him and I was a little relieved to hear him say it - but I would really like to have another baby.  Oh well, I'll head to the doc in the next couple of weeks - see what our options are and then have a sit-down with DH.  GL to all of you other ladies!!

    That's kind of where we're at too. Nearly a year since AF returned and we started NTNP. BFP in Oct with a miscarriage in Nov. Nearly a year of doing nothing to prevent, and nothing to show for it. Dh sometimes the talks like ds will be an only kid. I'd really like one more and then to close up shop. I'm so over TTC, it is my desire for ds to have a sibling that is keeping it going.
