Any thoughts about this cycle? Well, we hit -1 and O but it never happens quickly for us so...
Any questions?nope:)
Rant/Rave? I got cold feet last month so we didn't try...and now I'm regretting it. The summer months tend to be the months I get pregnant so now I'm a little mad at myself.

Ages of other child(ren)? 5.5 and almost 4
Any thoughts about this cycle? I am being super casual with charting this cycle to get back into it. I think maybe based off CM, we might have hit O and +1, or around there. We will see what happens!
Any questions? Nope!
Rant/Rave? When MH and I thought about trying two years ago, I stocked up on prenatals. Well, we never used them obviously. I found them in my medicine cabinet the other day, and although they are 3 months expired I figured I would use them! No sense wasting money!
GTKY: Candy corn is disgusting.
@krash_ I totally agree. I am so ready for fall! I feel like fall is the one season that there is nothing that I dislike about it!
@DoubleUp8 I hope you were able to get answers at your doctors appt!
@Panaceia I hate when you end up regretting something you didn't do. I feel like that happens to me all the time. September is a new month though!
What number are you trying for? 2
Month/Cycle? 2/2AL

Ages of other child(ren)? Almost 2!
Any thoughts about this cycle? Got cleared for another FET this cycle, so cautiously optimistic
Any questions? Transitioning to a toddler bed. Any tips? He’s not climbing out of the crib, but he’s at 36” tall and has been asking for a “little bed” (blanket) on the floor at bedtime the last few nights.
Rant/Rave? DS is fully potty trained! Woohoo! Rant is I go back to school/work kind of last week, kind of next week. Trainings were last week, start date is next week, but there are so many unpaid but semi-required meetings this week. I just want to enjoy my last week of break!
GTKY: So unless it’s a baked good with actual pumpkin and spices, I’d have to say pumpkin spice. The real stuff is great but the fake flavor - yuck!
ETA: honestly, keep him in the crib as long as you can. I was so bummed when I transitioned mine. It made things so much harder, and they were constantly getting up.

Any thoughts about this cycle? Trying to guess my length of cycles.
Any questions? I am still Waiting to TTC but was hoping to be able to lurk in this thread as we will be trying for a sibling.
I am curious for those who came off BC to TTC. Did your cycles or ovulation days change? I know you are normal until you are not, but curious. I am thinking about not temping this time around at first (it became way too stressful/fixated last time), but I had clockwork short cycles. I always O'd on CD11 or CD13 and had a 14 day lueteal phase. No idea this time around as I am only 1 cycle out since I had my mirena removed. Guess we will see!
Rant/Rave? I ate too many pumpkin spice donuts and feel bloated. Poor life choice lol.
@krash_ I'm sorry your cycle is up in the air. I haven't been around all week so I'm not quite sure what's going on but I'm sending lots of love.
@DoubleUp8 How did your doc visit go? Any explanation for the weird bleeding?
@Panaceia I'm sorry you have some regrets from last cycle. Hopefully your stay here is short.
@daisy528 Yay for the prenatal stash. I definitely agree with using them up as long as they're not harmful.
@halfanewt Yay for potty training success!! Woohoo!
@bmo88 I joined back in November and lurked around/participated in this thread until we started trying in December so I totally get it. Welcome! I came off my IUD in Dec. and my cycles regulated pretty quickly BUT they were longer than my cycles were before (used to have 26 day cycles now have 30-32 day cycles).
What number are you trying for? 3
Month/Cycle? 8/6
WTO/TWW? WTO
Ages of other child(ren)? 6, 2
Any thoughts about this cycle? I'm really glad I didn't O while I was at my dad's during residency. Hoping to O soon!
Any questions? Nope
Rant/Rave? This week was really heavy so I'm just going to ease back into things, but I mostly just wanted to check in. I'm still here!
GTKY: Bye bye candy corn!

@daisy528 I think the expired ones with be fine while TTC, but I agree with @krash_ that I would get fresh if you get KU.
@bmo88 the first 6 months coming off the BCP I had fairly regular cycles, after that they began to fluctuate more by plus or minus 3 days. But I know the different forms of BC affect people differently when they stop them.
@ashaislurking no explanation. The sonograms looked clear (nothing out of the ordinary detected.) The first blood test, one of my thyroid levels was borderline, but when they retested it was back with a normal range. So the diagnosis is it was just my body being weird. Hoping that everything goes smoothly with this cycle and OPKs and BBT can help me pinpoint O.
My OPKs have been super faint, so I'm hoping this means I won't O until after the weekend when I get back home to DH. 🤞
