Welcome to the TTC a Rainbow Sibling check-in. This check-in is a for TTCAL-ers with living children to talk about the issues about TTCAL while you have a living child. Living children and pictures of living children are welcome here, however if your pictured child is an infant (< a year old), please do place a warning at the beginning of your post to alert ladies who are having a hard day. You do not have to be active on the PAL board in order to be a member of this check-in, however, if you plan on posting on the main board please post an intro there.
All are welcome to join us! Please give us an intro with

My Ovulation Chart
I'm 3 days post-mc, so just waiting out the bleeding and trying to keep it together while DD (age 3+) is awake. I took today off of work (she's in pre-school) and went to a movie, which was nice. I have my next blood test on Wednesday to make sure my levels are down to zero, then I'll be waiting for AF to start charting and trying again...
QOTW: I'd either get a Boston Red Sox B or a lantern (college symbol), but I honestly have no idea where. Maybe my shoulder blade?
I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you better (sorry for no individual tags today!) and giving each other support.

@BookishMomma FX that everything on Monday goes as planned and you have a quick recovery. Did they give you a time frame after the procedure on your wait time?
@graceanne927 My fingers are crossed that this is your cycle! I do not currently go to an RE, but I have a really good OBGYN office that explains things to me. They just may not like me when I finally get a BFP again as ask for beta tests before my first prenatal check. lol
@MichieU79 I hope you get your + by tomorrow so you get a couple chances to BD before MIL returns. Any idea when she'll be in her new house?
@estamos_tomamos Welcome to our group! GL tomorrow and I hope you have a speedy recovery! I love the butterfly tat for your grandmother. My Eagle would be for both my grandfather and my dad.
@herbavein Also welcome to the group! Hang tight and take care of yourself. Know we are here if you need us and I hope next week you can report a neg beta!
Harley is still not feeling well, but the fever seems to have broken. Now it is just a lot of sad whining and a lack of appetite and inconsistent sleeping. Speaking of which she is up again so I will check back later!

@Nieko0423 thank you for the special hugs. I actually had an ok day on Saturday. Hope DD is feeling better.
@goldengirl84 fingers crossed for you
@BookishMomma hope everything goes well on Monday! I love the starfish.
@MichieU79 hope today's the day
@graceanne927 thinking of you lady. My little guy told me after for months before I felt he was really ready to try. It's not always a sign. Good luck with the 3 day. I know a lot of people have great success with it! If you have to stop and try it again a few weeks later, that's ok too.
@estamos_tomamos @herbavein @ellebelle2384 the biggest of hugs, ladies.
So about that, I went in thinking it would just be blood work, go figure right? Well I was brought into an ultrasound room and told that they will always do a quick trans vaginal u/s on CD 3 just to make sure you don't have any cysts that meds could agitate and see how your lining looks. So I was a little taken back but I'm use to them it was fine (and super quick, like 2 minutes). Then I had my BW done and a chat with the doc that was there. I have an HSG this Thursday (the 14th) then Monday I go in for more BW. DH is going to try to do his semen analysis next weekend and so then it won't interfere with us trying on our own since this is just a monitoring cycle. Then after I O I will go in to check my progesterone. Then next cycle we will start with clomid, eeekk!
QOTW: I have 2 tattoos, one on my ankle and the other on my wrist. But I have always loved the stars on the side of Kat Von D's face, but I would never want something on my face ALL THE TIME!

@goldengirl84 - Awesome job potty training! My DS was potty trained by 2.5 years old and it was great, but don't ask how I did it, because I have no idea. We started around 2 years old and he just was amazing and did it!
@BookishMomma - Good luck on Monday, I'll be thinking of you!
@graceanne927 - I hope this 2ww ends with a bfp, but if not and RE sounds like a good idea.
@MichieU79- I hope you O'd!
@estamos_tomamos and @herbravein Welcome, I'm sorry you're here but glad you've found us.
@littlecookie- I hope you have fun party planning!

Thanks again Nieko for the checkin and I hope your little one is feeling better. I hate watching my kiddos be sick!
As for me, i'm on CD 4 today. My last cycle was wacky with a cyst and a trigger so I had a 14 day cycle. I went to my RE today and luckily that cyst is gone but now there's another small one that the doc seems to think is just leftover from the corpus luteum. Hopefully I can start the Femara today and if so, i'll go back to the RE to check for follicles on Saturday. This will be my second cycle of Femara+trigger+timed intercourse. If this one doesn't work then i'm seriously going to think about IUI.
QOTW: I already have 2 tattoos, so I guess i'm past caring about what my body looks like with tattoos when i'm old. I plan on getting 2 more so far: a memorial one on my rib cage for my lost babies and a polynesian one on my foot. I'd also like to get something small on the inside of my wrist but i'm not sure what yet.
@BookishMomma I hope all goes well with your surgery and you're back on the TTC train ASAP! I love your tattoo idea too.
@graceanne927 I think seeing an RE will be good for you. There's something about having a doctor who focuses solely on helping you get pg that really gives you peace of mind. I've been seeing mine for about a year now and I have no regrets!
@MichieU79 I hope you guys were able to get in some good BD time before your MIL came over!
@estamos_tomamos Welcome! Hope your D&C went well.
@herbavein FX your betas go down quickly and AF comes soon.
@ellebelle84 So sorry for your recent loss. I have also had 4 losses ((HUGS)) to you.
@littlecookie Have fun planning your party. It's nice to have something happier to focus on for a little while.
@mara005 I hope the HSG goes well and GL with clomid!
