    Let's see who all is TFAS :)

    Age of LO(s): 15 months

    How long trying for a sibling (TFAS): I haven't been preventing since having LO but actually trying for about 5 months now? I'm not really sure. (I don't temp)

    Rants/raves/chart stalks: I've got it in my head that I should be pregnant this month. We went on vacation and it was our anniversary and it was exactly two years since I got pregnant with my LO. I haven't tested yet and I'm probably just going to be disappointed. We'll see I guess!

    GTKY: Share a weird, random, oddball talent or fact (something that makes you a special snowflake) about yourself!  hmm I would really have to think about that one.. Nothing comes to mind..


    I have a Daughter born 2/26/2013. She is pretty much amazing!

  • Age of LO(s): 19 months.

    How long trying for a sibling (TFAS): 9 months.

    Rants/raves/chart stalks: I'm getting to the point that I just don't expect to get pregnant and I'm having a more laid back attitude about ttc.  I'm still trying my best to make it happen, just not freaking out about it all.  I remember when we first started and I was so excited about it all--then I had a loss and now 6 months of nothing.  My attitude is much more pessimistic now, which is a downer.

    GTKY: Share a weird, random, oddball talent or fact (something that makes you a special snowflake) about yourself! I never had wisdom teeth--the dentist took x-rays when I was 18 and there was nothing there.  So no extractions for me :)

    I'm attempting to get back into the swing of the TTGP board ... I feel like this place is way more active than when I was here last (or maybe I just have less time now?)!  I figure this is as good a place as any to dip my feet back in!

    Age of LO(s): LO turned 1 yesterday :-D

    How long trying for a sibling (TFAS): 1 day!

    Rants/raves/chart stalks:  I don't know how much I'll have to put here, as we're essentially NTNP until PPAF shows up.  So for now we're going to just HIO as often as we can and see if we catch the first egg.  PCOS (and thus infrequent ovulation) made TTC#1 take 14 months, so we'll see how it goes this time around!

    GTKY: Share a weird, random, oddball talent or fact (something that makes you a special snowflake) about yourself!  I don't know that I really have anything exciting for this category.  My coolest job was working at a flavor development company - I worked under the guy who made the purple frost gatorade flavor.  Beyond that, I suppose my oddball talents might be quilling and chainmailleing.

    Age of LO(s): 18 months


    How long trying for a sibling (TFAS): 3rd cycle, post m/c

    Rants/raves/chart stalks: After our loss, I kinda/sorta/totally fell into eating all my feelings and gained about 5 pounds, and just ate really crappily. Well, now, I'm trying to get back to eating healthily and my supply is tanking. :( I'm feeling so much better (physically) than I have in months, but we're so nowhere near ready to wean. So I'm struggling with how to bump up my supply again, but not go back to those bad eating habits. :: sigh ::

    Age of LO(s): 16 months

    How long trying for a sibling (TFAS): Three months (We were NTNP until PP period returned three months ago.)

    Rants/raves/chart stalks:  I'm at 11DPO today. I'm 99% sure that AF will return tomorrow because I've had two low temps. I'm feeling down but just want to start the new cycle. 

    DH is going to be traveling during my FW in June, so it looks like this month might be a wash. My birthday is in mid-July, so I'm hoping that I could get pregnant the week of my birthday. I'm going to try to stay positive about July.

    I was my school mascot for two years. It was a lot of fun. I cheered football and basketball games. I'm a shy person with a born entertainer (singer and dancer) behind the facade.

    How long trying for a sibling (TFAS): IUD was removed in December. I've gotten pregnant twice since then, both ended in loss. We're currently on the bench until my doctor clears us to try again. 

    Rants/raves/chart stalks: This last pregnancy was a partial molar pregnancy & after the D&C they found tumors in my uterus a couple weeks later. I had a second D&C to remove them and I have a follow up with my doctor tomorrow. I'm really anxious to see what the plans are moving forward and how long we'll have to wait before we can try again.

    Age of LO(s): 16 months

    How long trying for a sibling (TFAS): 9 months (but not 9 cycles). We have been NTNP since DS's birth, but started really trying after our miscarriage last September.

    Rants/raves/chart stalks: I am on CD 12 of what are usually long-ish, irregular cycles (b/w 37-60 days
    [only one 60+ day cycle, and I got AF the day after my dr appt! AF owes me a copay!]) So, not much going on here. I didn't find TTGP, FF, or read TCOYF until about 4-5 months ago (and realized that I had totally been missing my FW, so all that previous TTC effort had been for naught).

    GTKY: Share a weird, random, oddball talent or fact (something that makes you a special snowflake) about yourself.
    Umm... I have nearly all recessive traits (hair color, eye color, toe length, tongue curling, etc). We had to do a genotype/phenotype project in a college bio class, and I realized that my parents were some serious carriers, and I got almost all of their recessive genes... boring, I know, but that's all I could think of!

    Rants/raves/chart stalks: We decided to TFAS in the middle of my cycle so not temping. Since LO I've had like no CM so that's out... I really don't know if I can wait until next Friday to test but I have to since I don't know when I O'd, just the fertile days FF gives me. Luckily I've been pretty regular and successfully avoided PG with FF so hopefully this will be the month!
