  Age of LO(s): DS is almost 16 months
  
  How long trying for a sibling: 2 months TTC, 3 months NTNP before that.
  
  Rants/Chart Stalks/Vents/etc: I am CD12 today and my OPK seems to indicate that I'll ovulate on CD13 or CD14. This is in-line with my pre-baby cycles. Last month's cycle was my first complete PP cycle, and I O'ed on CD18. That was unusual for me, so I'm excited that my cycle might be traditional this time. 

  
  

  I've been using PNV, temping, and drinking lots of water and some decaf green tea. Just need DH to help me out. His parents are visiting. Needless to say, it doesn't spark the romance between us.
  
  GTKY--If or when you conceive as the parent of a toddler, what are you most nervous about?

  
  

  I am most nervous about trying to take care of DS and work at home with the deep fatigue of the first trimester. I'm still teaching classes online, so some days I need to get grading done.

  How long trying for a sibling:
  weaned March 1 to start TTC

  I'm doing a fresh IVF cycle. Currently doing one pill and one shot a day, but will be upping that next week. Egg retrieval and embryo transfer should be the first or second week of June.

  Entertaining DS while I nurse #2. I loved holding and bonding for hours with DS as he nursed and napped, and there is no way that can happen for #2. This makes me sad.

  IVF/ICSI #1 - BFP, DS born Jan 2013

  IVF/ICSI #2 - BFP, DD born Feb 2015
  IVF FET - BFP, due April 2017

  @brendamndz - 

  We are not trying right now but I was lurking and I just want you to know that we made DD on Day 10 and I had used OPKs the month before we "pulled the goalie" and never got a smiley face but I had started on Day 12 and so missed my O day.  Obviously everybody is different and your cycles are longer than mine but just wanted to tell ya.  I was shocked when it happened.

  @Brendamdz: I hope that OPKs help you out this month! That's frustrating that your cycles haven't evened out.

  
  

  @jcar2: I'm sorry that your cycles are still normalizing. That's a good idea to enter dummy temps into the fertility app. I will have to do that when I'm obsessing over my temps one day soon. ;-)

  
  

  @ConstanceGoodspeed: We weaned about the same time to TTC. I'm so excited for your preparations! I can also sympathize with your feelings about breastfeeding your second. I really loved doing skin-to-skin, breastfeeding, and sleeping-in with DS. I'll be sad that I can't give the second all of my time.

  
  

  @spainy17: Hey girl!

  
  

  @KJohnson1426: Congratulations on your pregnancy. I am also nervous about the routine with two.
