Re: ****TFAS Check In****
How long trying for a sibling (TFAS): since the beginning of April.
Rants/raves/chart stalks: I don't really know when I ovulated. I lost my thermometer after it was confirmed but today is 52/21 and BFN so don't think that I did O. I'm ready for CD1 at this point.
DS figured out how to climb out of his crib this weekend
GTKY: What do you do for you time?
I read like crazy. If my DS isn't awake that is what I am doing 98% if the time. I really enjoy crocheting too. But I have a business so I'm not sure if I consider that me time.
Age of LO(s): 11 months
How long trying for a sibling (TFAS): 3 months actively, NTNP for a while before that.
Rants/raves/chart stalks: Nothing much this month, just O'd on Sunday, so starting out the 2ww.
GTKY: What do you do for you time? Bikram yoga, reading and writing
#2 3/2015
#3 3/2017
#4 10/2019
Age of LO(s): 3 1/2
How long trying for a sibling (TFAS): This will be cycle 3
Rants/raves/chart stalks: Not really. Temping is off to a good start for the cycle so hoping I have a prettier chart this time
GTKY: What do you do for you time? What's that?? I guess I work out and muck around in the garden. Moving slow today so no gym for me... I'm a slug
What Are Your Thoughts on Tap Dancing Penguins?
Age of LO(s): 16, 14, 12, 11 and almost 4 months!
How long trying for a sibling (TFAS): 3cycle
Rants/raves/chart stalks: nope just hoping to maximize our timing, last cycle we only had sex 1x during fw... need to up that for certain
GTKY: What do you do for you time? I love to read! My kindle is on the fritz so I'm rereading some tacky book at the moment. I also love walking with my dogs and being outside.
@etoille congrats on the house! That must be exciting! You sound super busy. First birthday parties are a blast!
@kelley72 wow you must have your hands full! I love big families. I have 6 brothers and 2 sisters. It's awesome! I'm sorry about your kindle. My kindle is like my second child and would be something I would grab if my house was on fire!
@norsern good luck tomorrow! I will be thinking about you!
@MrsRexManing I am jealous of your yard! I want a monster size yard. But I would suck at the gardening. I can't keep anything alive.
@Robi1 what do you write? I have just started to try to write something. I always have these ideas in my head and sometimes they scream to be put on paper.
@MamaB828 I have a Pinterest addiction. It is a bit ridiculous.
@SpartanChick88 FX your charting is prettier this cycle. Sorry you are feeling slow today.

How long trying for a sibling (TFAS): 2 months
Rants/raves/chart stalks: FW is during the 3 day weekend and we don't have much planned, so I'm thinking it's going to be great timing. FX!
GTKY: What do you do for you time? Me time is always during nap. DD sleeps really well (which is why I'm scared of a big-girl bed), so that's when I read, craft, watch TV, and garden.
Age of LO(s): A month shy of 3 & almost 15m
How long trying for a sibling (TFAS):
This is my 2nd cycle TFAT.
Rants/raves/chart stalks: I had a big dip past the CL yesterday & today a huge spike past all my other temps. I'm obviously hoping it was implantation! I'm on the crazy train.
GTKY: What do you do for you time?
I sew and embroider every chance I get!
How long trying for a sibling (TFAS): Not trying for #3 until Aug/Sept
Rants/raves/chart stalks: Nothing yet....
GTKY: What do you do for you time? Pilates, spruce up our house and nap!
MamaB828 love your siggy!
How long trying for a sibling (TFAS): 3 actively trying, NTNP since she was about 6 months old
Rants/raves/chart stalks: CD 3 today, blah...only hit 0-2 last month. I don't know how else to let my H know the importance of timin
GTKY: What do you do for you time? Jog, veg online, watch TV, spend time outside
How long trying for a sibling (TFAS): 4th cycle, post-m/c
Rants/raves/chart stalks: meh. I think that all of baby girl's night wakings are messing with my temps. I'm getting a pre- and post- o temp pattern, but they don't align with my secondary fertile signs. I'm now wondering if our timing is not as good as it could be because of this.
GTKY: What do you do for you time? Ha. Hahahahahaha. I sleep. Or talk with my local internet friends on our board. All of my roles combined (wife, mother, sister, employed staff) take up all of my time otherwise. I don't even have time to freaking volunteer. Sorry. This is a particular sore point for me at the moment.
How long trying for a sibling (TFAS): this is month #2
Rants/raves/chart stalks: I'm the one that wanted to wait to TTC until DS was 2 or a little later...but now that we are trying, I want it to happen NOW. I'm not taking my temp or using OPK's so I'm not exactly sure when O happened - but I am having some cramping and ovulation pain today! So that makes me think today!
GTKY: What do you do for you time? Read! Catch up on Parenthood. Book club once a month with ladies, AKA wine club.
Baby #2!
How long TFAS: this time we are 6 months if NTNP. But 3 months trying. Before that I tried for 19 months with ex husband years ago
Rants/raves: if we have a baby I am worried about the age spacing. Seems 5 is older than most to start trying again. Makes me sad and nervous.
GTKY: I read a ton and I love shooting a bow.
My DS will be 2 in August as well! The 29th.
How long TFAS: Around four months after PPP started
Rants/raves/chart stalks: I'm on 8DPO. I don't have any hope this month because we only had sex on O+1 because DH was out of town during my FW. I have high hopes for July. Also, DH is better informed about the conception process this month (e.g, one time might not be enough).
GTKY: What do you do for you time? I like to go to a cafe or arrange an acupuncture appt.
"It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness." - Eleanor Roosevelt
How long trying for a sibling (TFAS): First month trying. I'm currently in the 2WW!
Rants/raves/chart stalks: I'm 8DPO. I'm going to test on 11 DPO because that's when we got our first positive for my first child. Also, if it's negative I can drink for the 4th. I have a feeling this is not our cycle, but I'm letting my mind play games with me.
GTKY: What do you do for you time? My favorite thing to do is get a mani/pedi. Or just relax!
Age of LO(s):
How long trying for a sibling (TFAS):
Just started in June
Rants/raves/chart stalks:
Not much except that we're leaving tomorrow to go visit my SIL and her husband. They're doing a "sex reveal" party for their baby who's due in November. I'm dreading faking being excited when really I'm jealous as hell. Although we just started trying in June, I've been ready to try for 2 years. DH was not. I'm a little tired of waiting. I'm just a bit cranky about it today.
GTKY: What do you do for you time? Read, go for a walk/jog, drink a good wine.
How long trying for a sibling (TFAS): 2 cycles
Rants/raves/chart stalks: I think I said this last week, but who remembers. I'm frustrated that my charts and cycles were more consistent before we were TFAS. It's almost as if they're intentionally being weird now that we've started.
GTKY: What do you do for you time? I had to read this over and over to figure out what it meant. I kept reading it in toddler speak as "what do you do for your time" and I didn't know what that referred to. I have very little "me" time. I guess playing around the computer is what I do when I have a free moment or two.
How long trying for a sibling (TFAS): first cycle! Excited to make DD a big sister
Rants/raves/chart stalks: Nothing really yet, only on cd3 so just waiting to get started
GTKY: What do you do for you time? The usuals are read or crochet. When I have some true me time I like to play my piano. DD is very very in to helping right now, so there isn't much consistent practice that happens unless I have the house to myself. It doesn't happen often though!
Age of LO(s): 16 mos
How long trying for a sibling (TFAS): since May but either didnt O and bad timing each cycle. Hoping to get a better idea of O this cycle but AF still wacky due to BF.
Rants/raves/chart stalks: Today on CD1 (spotting) I found out my sister is expecting...funny/shitty timing for me. Im happy for her but my heart sunk a bit when I found out even though I knew she had been trying. I had had a feeling she was just some kind of intuition...wish i would get a feeling that I will be pregnant again!
GTKY: What do you do for you time? mainly spend with DD, read, dance
me = 32 DH = 33
TFAS
BFP2 august 2014 ended in m/c .... Gone but not forgotten....forever in my heart!Slight MFI low count, morph, mobility
@NoeliaV- Are you a December 2012 mom? Your name and avatar look so familiar. I was one for a cool minute until I M/C.
I'm going to try to check in here more!
Age of LO(s): 10 months.
How long trying for a sibling (TFAS): This is our first month. Whoop whoop.
Rants/raves/chart stalks: My chart has been so erratic. I know for a fact I'm o'ing either now, or very soon. my CBFM said peak fertility and I got super positive wondfos this morning. However, no temp dip.
GTKY: What do you do for you time? I nap when the baby naps. Orrrr I catch up on MTV trash like 16 and Preg.

Baby #4 Due 5/10/20 TEAM GREEN
How long TFAS: 15 months
Rants/raves/chart stalks: I never know if I'm doing the BBT thermometer right. And I hate whenever people ask me if my dd is our only child, and then give me weird looks when I say yes...
GTKY: What do you do for you time?
Swim, shower, play on the internet, watch my shows. All after DD goes to bed. Lol
How long trying for a sibling (TFAS):4 months/3AL
Rants/raves/chart stalks: This is my first cycle charting BBT using FF. I got dotted CH for CD 25, which is very late for me. What totally sucks is that our timing sucked big time and I stopped using OPK because I ran out or I could have had MH come home if I would've known that O was coming. (He travels for work). Hoping for better luck with timing next cycle.
GTKY: What do you do for you time? Exercise, couponing, and all the wine.

How long trying for a sibling (TFAS): 6 months
Rants/raves/chart stalks: My house is in shambles--- we are in the middle of a kitchen reno so all the stuff that used to be in our kitchen is scattered around the house in boxes. This is tough with a crazed toddler running around.
GTKY: What do you do for you time? read, gym, sit at starbucks, go on walks with the pup and usually my daughter too.
How long trying for a sibling (TFAS): On our 7th cycle
Rants/raves/chart stalks: Testing by my OB indicates some issues, so we are going to the RE this month since I have low progesterone, short luteal phase and am just about to turn 35. Ugh.
