Re: TTC Tuesday Check-In
What cycle are you in and where are you at in your cycle? 18 months, 7th cycle, CD33...FF didn't detect ovulation, but I'm pretty sure I'm in the 2WW
Do you have a question, brag or vent to share with the group this week?
I am having a huge acne break-out, which usually comes right before AF, so not holding out much hope for this cycle.
Weaning is hard, and I feel like we're going backwards. We haven't nursed during the daytime since August, but lately DS asks to nurse all day when I'm home. Poor kid. I had set his 2nd B-day as our deadline for weaning. Now I'm looking at more like February as an end date. I really don't mind nursing, but I am super sick of TTC, so I need to get serious about weaning. I think I need to put together some kind of a schedule or something, so I can stick to it.
QOTW: Are you done with your holiday shopping yet?
Yes...but the bad thing about finishing early is that I still want to shop! LOL! I had to go into Target for a couple things last night and it was all I could do not to buy more gifts for DS!

The gingerbread twig cookies I made last night were good! MIL gives me a subscription to Better Homes and Garden every year - it's not really my style, but I have found some good recipes in there. I hope the lime ginger chewies I make tonight are just as good.
Confession - we still have no ornaments on our tree. We got it on the 9th and we do have lights up. But I'm just doing too many other things in the evening to get the ornaments up. Hopefully I'll get them up Wednesday night. We'll see.
QOTW: Are you done with your holiday shopping yet?
No! I'm hoping at lunch to hit Target to pick up some stocking stuffers, a few gift cards, and one ingredient for the cookies I'm making tonight, ginger lime chewies. Last night I made gingerbread twigs. With that I'll be done with my staff and B's DCPs. MIL and SIL are done. But I still need to get my mom, my sister, and her fiancee.
I really should start earlier next year.
ETA - I'm sorry weaning is such a tough process GG. Do you redirect him when he asks to nurse during the day? How does he take it?

Can I join in?
What cycle are you in and where are you at in your cycle? This is our first cycle TTC; I don't chart, but AF was here last week.

Semi-work related-my H and I work at the same place even though we work for 2 different companies. I was involved in a new product startup that started up last wednesday-I worked like crazy hours (a couple of 24 hour days in there too) since the week before Thanksgiving to make it happen and now I can finally relax and enjoy Christmas. Well, H got news on Friday that his new product startup is scheduled for the 26th. He is going crazy. He was here for 20 hours yesterday. When he got home all he said was, "I am so mad they are taking our families Christmas away" = (
QOTW: Are you done with your holiday shopping yet?
Not even close. O and I have a lot of work to do this week. Fortunately I am taking Thursday and Friday off!
GG- I am so sorry that weaning has been such a challenge. I know that sometimes when O is missing me a lot he still tries to nurse-even though we weaned at 14-15 months. It breaks my heart to this day. It is really a difficult process emotionally for everyone involved.
Come on in!
I'm sorry work is making the holidays crazy for your family. Who schedules a start-up of anything on the 26th? The good news is that you guys should have the best most relaxing New Years ever, right?
BFP #2 5/27/12. EDD 2/1/13. m/c and D&C 6/21/12.
What cycle are you in and where are you at in your cycle?
2nd cycle, CD18
Do you have a question, brag or vent to share with the group this week?
GG we might be in the 2WW together! I've been charting and I think I O'd in the last few days, but FF hasn't detected it. If anyone wants to chart stalk I'd really appreciate any insight. https://FertilityFriend.com/home/403a92/
QOTW: Are you done with your holiday shopping yet?
pretty much! I just want to get some fancy hot sauces for FI stocking that I will buy when I go to the extra fancy grocery store with my mom this weekend.
Now my tree is a whole different story. It's been up forever with just lights. I really need to get on the ball with the ornament making.
I'm glad I'm not the only one with a tree with just lights.

Welcome Mamaholmes!!!
What cycle are you in and where are you at in your cycle? Cycle 5, CD 9
Do you have a question, brag or vent to share with the group this week? Why exactly am I avoiding charting??? I charted back in July to prepare myself for when we did start TTC and now I have no desire. I started OPKs last month and said if that month was a bust then I would start charting again. But I haven't. Maybe I will start tomorrow. I may still be able to see the O shift.
QOTW: Are you done with your holiday shopping yet? Nope. Need to finish this week. A and my niece are done. Still need to print pictures for the grandparents and aunts and uncles.
GG, sorry weaning has been so tough. A was weaned a long time ago and I can't imagine having to turn him down if he asked to nurse. Hope it gets easier after the holidays.
Wow, lots of participation today. I love you guys!
@kj - When DS asks to nurse during the day, I usually offer a snack or a sippy cup first. Sometimes that works, but if he's sleepy and wanting a nap, sometimes nothing else will do and he gets upset. Sometimes I can get him to let me rock him or cuddle him down for a nap, but a lot of times he just throws a tantrum, then recovers, then goes back about his business. (When he's with DH or my mom, he goes to sleep just fine without nursing). We're currently nursing about three times a day (plus occasionally during night awakenings), so the thought of having him "cry-it-out" so to speak each time I say no is, like, ugghhhh.
@mamaholmes - Welcome and thanks for the support re: weaning. Wow, that work schedule sounds absolutely crazy! Any chance you guys can take some time off together in the new year to recover? That sounds intense.
@missmuffin - Looks like it was either Saturday or Sunday for you. Fingers crossed for us both!
@jax - GL with the charting! I go through phases where I like it more than others. To be honest, I wouldn't mind taking a break from it, but I'd miss having all the information too much. And thanks for the support!
What cycle are you in and where are you at in your cycle?
Cycle 4, CD 3.
Do you have a question, brag or vent to share with the group this week?
Vent: well, it's f'in AF again! And this is the cycle that isn't going to work because I'm gone during AF. We'll still try, though, in case I ovulate at a weird time.
brag - it's DS's birthday today!!
QOTW: Are you done with your holiday shopping yet?
HELL no. I've barely started.
What cycle are you in and where are you at in your cycle?
Cycle 1 and only. Today is day 11...should be doing our IUI on Friday!
Do you have a question, brag or vent to share with the group this week?
We bought a new house, the first 4-5 months of my pregnancy (if I am lucky enought to get pregnant this month) will be spent remodeling it, should be fun...NOT.
QOTW: Are you done with your holiday shopping yet?
Yup, all done with shopping. May pick up a few more things but it is not needed.
What cycle are you in and where are you at in your cycle?
1st cycle and I should O this weekend.
Do you have a question, brag or vent to share with the group this week?
I'm not counting on this month. We have 3 parties this weekend and DH is sick
QOTW: Are you done with your holiday shopping yet?
Yes. For the most part. I need to go tomorrow to michaels and get picture frames. Once our pictures come in then I'll be finished
@TripMomma - GL with your IUI! Fingers crossed for you!
@JBM - Welcome back! Sorry you have to be back with us again, but I'm so happy for you that you're ready to try again.
