Re: ~*~TFAS Check In~*~
Ages of LOs: DD is 2 years old

I seem to be Oing a tiny bit earlier than I have recently, so I'm happy about that.
Chart Stalk? Nah
GTKY: What was the weirdest thing you experienced when you were pregnant last time?
At my 20week a/s, they found that I had marginal cord insertion, which is when the umbilical cord connects to the placenta on the side rather in the direct center. It can affect the baby's growth and development, so I had to have a bunch of extra monitoring u/s to check on DD. Kind of stressful, but she ended up being just fine and it was pretty nice to get to see her so often and have reassurance she was baking fine!

Cycle/Month TFAS: cycle 4, month 4
Thoughts/Concerns so far:
Chart Stalk? Nah..
GTKY: What was the weirdest thing you experienced when you were pregnant last time?
Ages of LOs: 14 months
Cycle/Month TFAS: 3/4
Thoughts/Concerns so far: Just frustrated with my irregular cycles after Mirena/breastfeeding for 1 yr. I'm thankful that I O'd the past 2 cycles though. Also frustrated that both DH and I were sick right around O this cycle so we only hit O-3. My temps have gone down the past two days so I'm sure AF is right around the corner. On to the next cycle!
Chart Stalk? Not necessary, I'm 99.99% sure I'm out this month. Just wish AF would show her ugly face and get it over with.
GTKY: Not really "weird" I guess, but I get migraines quite frequently and I only had one the whole time I was pregnant. I didn't mind that one bit!
Ages of LOs: 9
Cycle/Month TFAS: 13/12
Thoughts/Concerns so far: I asked my husband last night if he thought it would happen for us ..... I'm a little pessimistic.
Chart Stalk? None
GTKY: What was the weirdest thing you experienced when you were pregnant last time? that was 9 years ago. Don't really remember
Emma Kate - born 10.16.03 @ 29 weeks, weighed 1lb 13oz and 13.5" long.
TTC #3
Ages of LOs: 4
Cycle/Month TFAS: 3
Thoughts/Concerns so far: none about my chart. I am taking DS for a speech analysis on Friday. They are also going to do a complete Child Find analysis to see if he has any special needs. I hate that they are going to do that. My kid is smart. He just has a speech problem. I am afraid they are going to say he has ADD and a socialization problem. DH and I both are ADD and he is showing some signs but I don't want to treat him for it at 4. It's just to early. He is a bit of loner, but he is an only child and happily plays by himself. I am afraid they will prematurely label him.
Chart Stalk? No, thanks.
GTKY: What was the weirdest thing you experienced when you were pregnant last time? My cravings. I craved milk and I normally hate milk. I also craved oldfashioned cheese burgers and cornbread and milk with salt and pepper.
Cycle/Month TFAS: 2
Thoughts/Concerns so far: I have way more anxiety over trying for this one then I did last time. As in i'm charting, taking the opk's and looking more at my CM ahahah.
Chart Stalk? No thanks.
GTKY: What was the weirdest thing you experienced when you were pregnant last time? Being so constipated all the time!
Ages of LOs: almost 19 months
Cycle/Month TFAS: 3/3
Thoughts/Concerns so far: I was sure I O'ed - had 3 very positive OPKs, EWCM etc, etc, but I've never gotten the temp rise. Really disappointed and confused right now....... not really sure what is going on.
Today I feel like I will never get pregnant again and I'm stressed about that.
Chart Stalk? well.... I didn't O - despite the cross-hairs - I just know it.
GTKY: What was the weirdest thing you experienced when you were pregnant last time? I never believed that I would be more emotional but I was! I couldn't watch any violence on t.v/movies at all.
Cycle/Month TFAS: 2/2
Thoughts/Concerns so far: Just waiting on AF or not
Chart Stalk?
GTKY: What was the weirdest thing you experienced when you were pregnant last time? I don't think there was anything "weird" but I did have placenta previa
Ages of LOs: 9 months
Cycle/Month TFAS: awaiting return of PP fertility
Thoughts/Concerns so far: I'm getting nervous about when my cycle will return at this point. DH and I want our kiddos to be close in age (within 2/2.5 years) which means we need to get KU soon. It took us 8 months to conceive DS and I'm expecting at least 8 months for the second... dreams going out the window.
(I'm in a whinny mood. My apologies.)Chart Stalk? Not tempting yet because I'm "bad" parent who let my son continue to sleep with us. (Again, sorry. Vent.)
GTKY: What was the weirdest thing you experienced when you were pregnant last time? I loved being pregnant but here are the "weird/not so fun" highlights: I bled and passed clots for the entire first tri without explanation, DS tried to escape at 34 weeks when I had a kidney stone, and, despite the insane amount of kegel exercises I did, I peed myself quite a bit towards the end.
DS #1 born 05/25/2012
BFP#2: 06/12/2013 ---- loss
DS #2 born 4/08/2014
BPF#4: 2/1/2016 --- 2/23/2016 suspected molar pregnancy--- 3/15/2016 D&E - diagnosis MM
BFP#5 - 9/22/2016
* formally bornmommy
Cycle/Month TFAS: cycle 3/just about to start month 4
Thoughts/Concerns so far: Just wish my cycles would be more regular than they currently are. I've only had 3 PP AFs, so I'm hoping my body regulates here soon.
Chart Stalk? Too early in my cycle.
GTKY: What was the weirdest thing you experienced when you were pregnant last time? The weirdest thing that I experienced was having blood in my urine multiple times. They suspect it was either UTIs or a side effect of the blood thinners I was on. They never found out for sure. After multiple trips to L&D (over an hour drive one way), I wish they would have figured out what was going on.

Chart Stalk? nah
GTKY: What was the weirdest thing you experienced when you were pregnant last time? I had an absolute aversion to ground up beef. I thought I may never like it again.

GTKY: What was the weirdest thing you experienced when you were pregnant last time? Third trimester sleep was the most incredible sleep of my life. I was going 11 hours at a time without even waking up to pee. I don't know how that was possible.
Just...wow...them's swollen feet, yikes!

Cycle/Month TFAS: 4
Thoughts/Concerns so far: None really.
Chart Stalk? Chart doesn't look like much just yet. Just started cycle 4.
GTKY: What was the weirdest thing you experienced when you were pregnant last time? Nothing was really weird, except she did not stop moving. With Emily I would get worried a lot and do the things they say to do to check for fetal movement. With Abby it was never a concern.

Thoughts/Concerns so far: I'm so scared that DD will never have a sibling
Chart Stalk? not charting due to it being a medicated cycle
GTKY: What was the weirdest thing you experienced when you were pregnant last time? I had kidney stones at 24 weeks....WORST.PAIN.EVER. I had a 102 fever, was throwing up from the pain, and scared out of my mind. I was hospitalized for 2 days, and thankfully passed the stone on my own 4 days later.

Cycle/Month TFAS: CD 2 of cycle 3
Thoughts/Concerns so far: No concerns. Our timing has just really sucked.
Chart Stalk? No thank you
GTKY: What was the weirdest thing you experienced when you were pregnant last time?
Yeah, good ol HELLPS syndrome.
1. She'll be 2 sooo soon.
2. Still TTA, but not much longer now!
3. My cycle looks "normal". I had a 12 day LP last month which was better than my first time around when I had to take progesterone for LP issues. Right now my concern is dropping some weight because I never got below my PP weight from last time.
4. No need to chart stalk.
GTKY- I had pregnancy carpal tunnel, and it was awful. I shudder just remembering how numb my hands were and how painful it was.
I had this exact same issue!!
Ages of LOs: ds1 is 4 and ds2 will be 2 on Saturday!!
cycle/month #1. We had planned to wait longer but dh wanted to move things up because he thinks he's getting old
No real concerns yet, ds2 took 6 months to conceive and we were both 3 years younger then, so we're anticipating it taking a while. I'm trying to just relax and enjoy the 'process' this time since it will be our last. It can be a fun and exciting time in your lives as husband & wife (for a while at least) so I'm trying to focus on that. Also I'm allowing myself to poas as much as I like since this is our last.
O-3 o-1 & o
Ages of LOs: 16 months
Cycle/Month TFAS: still waiting to O
Thoughts/Concerns so far:
DS is super sick. It's been a rough week.
Chart Stalk?
Just replaced thermometer, so starting to chart againg tomorrow.
GTKY: What was the weirdest thing you experienced when you were pregnant last time?
I'd say the cravings were pretty weird. And the emotional craziness!
Cycle/Month TFAS: still TTA, just waiting for AF to come back following Mirena
Thoughts/Concerns so far: Just have been waiting for AF longer than I anticipated.
Chart Stalk? I've gotta figure out how to share my chart on mobile. Not ballst enough to access my chart on a work computer.
GTKY: What was the weirdest thing you experienced when you were pregnant last time? Sleepgasms
Cycle/Month TFAS: cycle 3 / month 3
Thoughts/Concerns so far:
We had bad timing this month so I'm not optimistic. Dh was gone the whole week last week and FF says I Od on Thursday. We HIO Sunday and Friday. haha
Chart Stalk? Nah
GTKY: What was the weirdest thing you experienced when you were pregnant last time? Pregnancy induced carpal tunnel. It sucked.
Oh goodness! I would wake up in the middle of the night because my hands were numb and my wrists were hurting so badly. I would lay there crying to get it to stop hurting!
Cycle/Month TFAS: 5/5 1st TTCAL
Thoughts/Concerns so far: My temps are driving me crazy. I was sick for a good part of last week, and my chart looks like crap!
Chart Stalk? No
GTKY: What was the weirdest thing you experienced being pregnant last time? My pregnancy with #1 was textbook. With DD #2 I didn't find out I was pregnant with her until I was 18W2D. I hadn't gotten my PP AF, and had no obvious signs of being pg.

Chart Stalk? No thanks
