@daisy0322 grape and gorgonzola? that sounds like an interesting combination
</div><div>Month/Cycle? Treatment 1 (after battling 30+ months of infertility)</div><div>
</div><div>WAYDTGKU: Natural FET Cycle</div><div>
</div><div>WTO/TWW? TWW</div><div>
</div><div>Ages of other child(ren)? 8m, 2.5+</div><div>
</div><div>Any thoughts about this cycle? I just want this cycle to work so badly (duh). But if it doesn't, we only have one more embryo left, and that will be it for our bio kids. :/</div><div>
</div><div>Any questions? Nah</div><div>
</div><div>Rant/Rave? Potty training has been going so great! We are solidly in week 2, and today we switched to undies instead of, "potty pants." She's pretty much dry all day until she has to poop, so I guess we'll have to be on the lookout for that.</div><div>
</div><div>GTKY: Do pineapples belong on pizza? And what is your favorite pizza? Would not be my go-to. I'll try it if it's with bacon maybe? Or the jalapeno sounds like it could be good? But normally I like my pizza a bit more... italianate. Lol the grape gorgonzola sounds amazing! @daisy0322 one of my vegetarian go-tos is green olive, mushroom, onion, and I also like a good meat lovers. But lately we've been doing the white pies with spinach and mushroom, or roasted garlic and broccoli. Or just roasted garlic? Mmmm... Which one is low carb? Lolz</div>
Rant- I’ve been feeling meh since I got the 1st covid vaccine on Thursday. The combination of that and then getting AF Friday has been hell on my stomach. On the plus side, I feel lighter haha
@ReadyForaB alright pinapple with jalopenos with bacon and Gorgonzola could be good 😂
@beakay8 Im glad I’m not the only one! My husband just always is so la de da we will have the kids we are supposed to have lol and I’m like now I want them right now haha
@j@jlbaker08 Im frequently overzealous - it’s a fun way to live haha
@BusinessWife congratulations on potty training! My 3 year old still has accidents occasionally but potty training was seriously the worst part of parenting ever lol he had zero interest. I’ll be praying for you/thinking of you this cycle! I hope your transfer goes well ❤️
@ReadyForaB watching t ball is so fun and adorable! Hope he loves it!
@beakay8 here’s to hoping May will be better, I’m with ya there. That would be frustrating waiting the extra weeks, as if waiting doesn’t feel long enough. Also, I want that Brussels / sriracha pizza, that sounds right up my alley!
@jlbaker08 lol, you were just warming up!
@BusinessWife I'm glad to hear potty training is going well! We need to potty train our 2.5 yo but I very much do not want to. I'm pretty sure it's going to be the worst part of our parenting journey so far.
@daisy0322 tumbleweed ovaries 😂 I’m 40 so I’m definitely stealing that reference.
@b_1029 oh that is so magical! I sort of feel like that never stops happening, just when you think it can't get any better ... It does! 😊 Babies clapping is pretty much the cutest thing ever. I will sypm when I get a minute. ❤️ Also, that pizza!!! Omg I might have to try that some time.
@daisy1022 omg tumbleweeds!?? Lol ☠️ I'm sure accidents are bound to happen. I'm not sure yet how quickly we will transition from potty pants to undies, but I suspect we'll still be using both for a while.
@jlbaker08 lol CD7 you never know! I sometimes have shorter cycles, so I would start with one a day if it's early on like this, and then two a day once I start to see some action, and even three once I'm pretty sure it's about to happen. GL!
@ReadyForaB T ball sounds like so much fun!
@beakay8 I'm the same way! I'm always saying, "well, at least we have a new month soon" or "yay, a new year", like it really matters
@jlbaker08 I've totally taken OPKs way early. At least the cheap ones. Once I wanted to see if there was a distinct progression of darkening line as each day went on. It totally didn't work, haha. But yeah, you never know, and you definitely don't want to miss it, so pee away
@BusinessWife yay for successful potty training! Pooping is always so hard for them at first. It took my 2.5 year old an hour of up and down off the potty before he finally pooped on it, and that was that. But that was a fraught hour here, for sure!
@rachelredhead Oh wow, Korean BBQ pizza sounds AMAZING!
What number are you trying for? 3
Rave - My TikTok leggings should be here soon. After months of wearing the same type of outfit (t-shirt, jeans or yoga pants, cardigan) I'm finally starting to enjoy getting dressed and putting outfits together.
Hell no. I just don't like the combo. Tomato sauce is sweet enough for me.
Favorite pizza varies, and usually depends on where we're getting it from. I'm pretty easy to please, though. A simple margherita pizza or pepperoni & cheese is good enough for me. There's a pizza place in MH's home town that has a spanakopita pizza that is amazeballs, though.
Due with baby #2: Feb 2022
@babyodo PP cycles are so weird I didn’t have any between my last two kids and I’ve had i think 3 this time. TW- I had a MC in March. END TW But my last period seems like my first back to normal one. Kelly mom had some good resources on it if you were recently or still are nursing.
@boymama2018 what are Grandma pies?
I want her to feel like she can talk to me about it if she needs an ear (and I think she does), but now that we're trying too I want to be careful not to "rub salt on the wound" so to speak.
eta it also helped to feel acknowledged, like every so often if people asked how everything was going. Not that I wanted to be asked all the time, but every once in a while was good (this is assuming she doesn’t talk to you about it haha)
@Lisa3379 i am jealous of your ability to keep your house that clean! i just got an alert the roomba failed at its job today... lol
@BusinessWife we are also going to try for the slow introduction to the potty... we got a little one that is sitting in our bathroom right now, and C checks it out every chance she has. i would love to start working on it at 18 mos and stop buying daytime diapers, but i know that's very ambitious.
@daisy0322 oh yes, this age is so great! my daughter is WILD tho. truly no care for her own safety, climbs on everything, we're just getting to the point now where she's really picking up words and i love it. i am def curious to see how strong willed the turns out.
@jlbaker08 i dont know what IF feels like, but my college bestie/sorority sister had TW**** 3 back to back miscarriages at the end of my pregnancy/newborn baby stage*** and i know i just always checked in with how she was feeling, not specific to IF or the losses, but like just a how are you today? she wound up telling me that she didn't me to hold back sharing any of the milestones we were having with our baby while she was struggling and i think that's a good baseline to set.
@ReadyForaB mmm i also support the jalapeño
@beakay08 i also relate to the "i'm just done with this month" sentiments, let's get the show on the road!!
@b_1029 and @rachelredhead that 9.5 month age is a blast, so much is changing so quickly and they're just becoming little people! i loved it!!
@babyodo man i miss my actual prego boobs, i am so flat now. i tried on a swimsuit last night... i look like a preteen. so sad.
@boymama2018 oh i've never heard of grandma pies... now i'm going to be on the lookout!
