**Please note this check in is for ladies who've had a loss since bringing their latest child(ren) home. There is a separate check in shown on the board today for PAL'ers who are TTC again but haven't had subsequent loss(es). <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
*****************************
How are you ladies doing today?
Where are you in the TTCAL process?
Anything in particular that you're struggling with?
QOTD: What is the next "milestone" you are looking forward to your LO hitting/doing/reaching?

Re: ~~~TTCAL (recent losses) PAL Check-In~~~
how are you feeling today? 9DPO?! FX for you!!
How are you ladies doing today?
doing okay with TTC. Some other family stuff going on that has me feeling off. Thinking about ditching work early to get my run in before my ILs come over for dinner.
Where are you in the TTCAL process?
7DPO in the 2WW. I'm not too crazy yet but am nervous both for a BFN or a BFP. Out timing wasn't great, but DH is convinced he has "super seed" so we'll see what happens.
Anything in particular that you're struggling with?
If we aren't pregnant with a sticky baby by next cycle then our kids will be more then 3 years apart. Of course we would be happy regardless, it's just another disappointment.
QOTD: What is the next "milestone" you are looking forward to your LO hitting/doing/reaching?
I'm ready for DD to be potty trained. Honestly I think we could already be there but with working FT and a very busy summer schedule we haven't really focused on it even though she does both regularly on the potty.

@chknma - You get the award for being the first to post
FX for you this cycle - your timing looks a lot like ours did...but I hope it works out (for both of us!). I can also personally relate to the kids being 3 yrs apart thing. We are already past that point and it makes me sad. In addition, I want to absolutely second the potty training thing. DS has been going full time in the potty at daycare but then at home he's just not into it. I may need to talk to them and see what tactics they are using. He just does so well there, so I know he can do it at home too. DH is home for more time than I am so I asked him to make sure he was diligent about taking DS to the potty when I wasn't there and he hasn't done it AT ALL so that's been annoying me.

How are you ladies doing today? Doing okay, just ready to be off work.
Where are you in the TTCAL process? 9DPO...and absolutely going crazy.
Anything in particular that you're struggling with? I had a really, really hard time yesterday, My cousin sent me a private message on facebook - which I truly appreciated - letting me know she was expecting her second child in March. I am happy for her but my heart just broke b/c I am so ready to have another child. I ended up crying basically the entire evening over it. In addition, I just had a couple people randomly check in on me yesterday (which was a nice intention), but they all said the VERY classic things that just piss me off like "God's plan" and "miscarriages are common" and I just REALLY took offense to it.
QOTD: What is the next "milestone" you are looking forward to your LO hitting/doing/reaching? Potty training for sure. DS is going regularly at daycare but not at home yet. Still won't poop in the potty either. I am so ready for him to be PT'ed full time.

Hi everybody! chknma and ksyknelvr73, good luck to both of you, fingers crossed! :-)
Im feeling a little nervous/hopeful today....my cycles are usually about 26 days long and Im on day 27 and have no signs of AF coming...so I plan to test on Saturday if it still hasnt come! Im trying not to get my hopes up too high, because I know that even if Im pregnant, it doesnt necessarily mean Ill get a baby...I think Im about 13dpo today, just a guess though, as Im not temping or using OPKs, just going by my CM.
Struggling with a little bit of jealousy, which is hard for me to admit, but I think of anyone, you ladies would understand. 3 of my best friends are all pregnant, 1 due in Dec., 1 due in March, and then another one found out last week shes due in April. I would love to join them but at the same time, I feel nervous/scared about another pregnancy, how will I manage with 2, what will my DH think since he wasnt really ready yet for another one...many questions floating around in my head.
The next milestone Im looking forward to is Lucas talking. Well, he ¨talks¨ now, a lot, but we just dont understand anything he says. The only clear words we get are mama and dada. But, in his defense, he is learning both English and Spanish at the same time. My husband is Mexican and speaks to him in only Spanish, as does everyone else down here in Mexico! And I speak to him in only English, so his speech will probably be delayed for a while...but Im looking forward to when he finally is able to communicate with us in both languages! :-)

Hope your feeling better about last night. Sometimes it's so hard to watch the rest of the world move on with their pregnancies when you feel in limbo after multiple losses.
@Fififa21 dang girl that is willpower! I'm hoping to hold out until 12DPO. since I have a fresh batch of wondfos it could be hard!! I feel jealous sometimes too but try to let it go the best I can.

I'm exhausted! Parenting solo is no joke! (DH is cross country finding us a place to live for the fall)
Where are you in the TTCAL process?
2ww. I think I'm about 9 months out from my loss.
Anything in particular that you're struggling with?
Having to have surgery next cycle if this one doesn't take. That we likely won't be expecting again when DH deploys. That we may have just one child. Thankfully I'm struggling less with DS's delays as he's improving more each day.

I am a little late on the check in but just wanted to say hellp to all you lovely ladies.
How are you ladies doing today? I am so excited trying to skip ahead to next week when we go on a mini vacation to Chicago.
Where are you in the TTCAL process? 9 DPO this is my first month charting and I feel so much better about actually knowing were I am at in the cycle.
Anything in particular that you're struggling with? I had a few rough conversations early this week with random coworkers just asking when the next one is coming along. I really thought people knew better than to ask those questions anymore.
QOTD: What is the next "milestone" you are looking forward to your LO hitting/doing/reaching I can't wait for LO to take his first roadtrip next week. I guess it will be more of a family milestone as we will all learn to travel together

Thanks. Having a bit of a hard time with him the last day or so, he's seeming more distant again which makes me so nervous. DH got a place lined up for us for the move today, so now I can work on lining up my, the dog, and DS's doctors on that end. Yay for progress!
