Any thoughts about this cycle? Officially off the bench and I'm ready to go!!
Any questions? is anyone on any type of anxiety meds while TTC?
Rant/Rave/Brag: Sorry, I've been terrible about keeping up with this thread lately. I called daycare to re-enroll DD after the announcement that schools were resuming in person came out. I'm still waiting to hear back from them to confirm she has a spot. I'm so anxious about sending her back. I think she'll adjust just fine; she talks about her friends there all the time, but I'm nervous about going from relatively no potential for exposure to a ton once school starts up again.

This is a hard question. But I make up songs and change lyrics all the time so this feels pretty accurate:

@gingermama29 I am not on meds right now but I was when TTC DD. I don’t remember what I was on but I know it wasn’t pregnancy safe, which I was pissed about. I specifically told my doctor we were going to be trying and she assured me they were safe. Go to my 8 week appointment and told I needed to stop them immediately as they can cause heart defects. She was already predisposed to having heart problems as I’ve had quite a few, including surgery, and her paternal grandpa has had a pacemaker since 40 years old. 🤬🤬🤬

Any thoughts about this cycle? I’m ready! MAY HYPE! DD was supposed to be a May baby!
Any questions? Nope!
Rant/Rave? 6 out of the last 9 nights, DD has STTN! I’m here for it! She also stopped nursing at nap time. That I’m sad about. 😭 Shes growing up too fast!

This is definitely me. I have only left DD for daycare reasons. I have never been away from her longer than 9 hours, and never overnight.

Any thoughts about this cycle? We have an official diagnosis of “unexplained” so while I intellectually know that it probably won’t work trying on our own, my heart remains eternally hopeful.
Any questions? Nope
Rant/Rave? Rave - Potty training is going great! It’s nice to not be washing diapers every other day - I guess I’ll enjoy the break while I have it! Rant - still don’t know what we’re doing for childcare and school (teacher) starts on the 24th. I think I’m on creative option #10 now? Here’s hoping this one works...
GTKY: What GIF/meme best describes your parenting style?
DS is working on his 2 year molars, so this is how it feels right now
@ashaislurking Yay for 3 week vacation! Enjoy the break and the time to reset before fall semester.
@gingermama29 Yay off the bench! I hope your transition back to daycare goes well. DS was so excited to be back with other kids.
@chindimples04 Yay for STTN!!!!
@halfanewt welcome! I'm glad potty training is going well. Our schools are still figuring it out too. We are doing hybrid, but I don't know DS's teacher or what cohort he's in.

Any thoughts about this cycle? Not hopeful, glad I am no longer dealing with weird bleeding. I guess there's always a chance. DH got some back news about his grandfather's health, so good TTC news would be nice.
Any questions? not today!

Any thoughts about this cycle? Not optimistic. I've pretty much convinced myself it won't happen without assistance with my crappy ovulation and a short LP but it is what it is. Talking to my doctor next week so hopefully I'll get my CD21 labs done after that and go from there.
Any questions? Nada.
Rant/Rave? I am so freaking tired and unmotivated today which is not good since I need to send out 70+ emails about contract renewals. I just want to go home and sleeeeeeeeeeeep.
GTKY: What GIF/meme best describes your parenting style? She pretty much does whatever she wants right now.
@ashaislurking - enjoy your break!!
@gingermama29 - I hope the transition back to daycare goes smoothly!
@chindimples04 - yay for STTN!
@halfanewt - I'm jealous of your potty training! Mine has zero interest. She will occasionally have a success but has no desire to go regularly. I'm trying not to make it a thing but I'm so tired of buying diapers and we go through a gazillion since daycare changes hourly regardless of whether she needs it.
@doubleup08 - That second gif was definitely me when we were keeping DD home
@halfanewt Welcome to the TFAS thread! Hooray for potty training! I'm so glad to hear it's going well for you! I hope you find a good solution for childcare when the school year starts!
@DoubleUp8 I'm glad you're not dealing with the weird bleeding anymore. I really hope you get good TTC news soon!
@gusgus14 Hopefully you can get some answers soon about your cycle and best steps moving forward with TTC because of your LP. Sending love!
We've gotten details on a lot of stuff hammered out over the last couple of weeks and I finalized some plans yesterday. My ODS went to his dad's on Sunday and he's there for the next two weeks. I get him back on the 23rd and he starts remote learning on the 24th. I'll have him full time until we know what COVID is looking like in our schools here (his dad is a teacher and my YDS has a compromised immune system- it's not safe for us to have ODS going back and forth so we're doing what we can to make it work). We're also spending a week with my dad and his girlfriend (who start their self-iso next week in prep for our visit) at the end of the month while I have virtual residency. They're going to help with childcare while I'm in meetings for school. It's a crazy time to try to figure all of this out but we're getting there. I also got registered for a virtual conference here in October, I take my second of three substance abuse counseling courses here in September and I take the third in November. Crazy crazy times.

Any questions? Nope
Rant/Rave? I am over this week. Work is crazy and I just need some sleep and a break.

My kids:
@ashaislurking enjoy your break from grad school!
@gingermama29 it’s such a hard decision on what to do this fall! I cannot wait until this dies down.
@chindimples04 my girls were May babies (supposed to be June, but they came early since they were twins) and it is a fabulous month for a birthday! I am preferable to July but I have missed it every time.
@halfanewt glad PT is going well! It’s a whole new world without diapers!
@doubleup8 I’ll keep my fingers crossed that you get some good TTC news soon.
@gusgus14 I can definitely relate to your gif!
ALSO any other midwest peeps in here? How did y'all fare the storm that rolled through earlier this week?

Monday morning for an hour. DH has to deliver to a bunch of Iowa Kwik Stars, though, because a bunch of them lost power and lost all their freezer and fridge inventory. So he definitely saw the affects. What about you?

If I time it right, I don’t struggle to get KU. I struggle with making it to that first appointment at 8 weeks without having a m/c. Here was my last chart from May:
@BuckeyeNut05 Your chart looks very promising. I hope you get a sticky take home baby soon!
