@rachelredhead what a way to decide to go to law school!
@beakay8 that's a great story about your names, it was meant to be!
@rachelredhead My Mira is finicky too. I had to reset it the first time I used it. I'm a little nervous about it. I joined their Facebook group, which is helpful, but it sounds like there are a lot of tech issues. Also some faulty wands. *TW* Also, I completely understand your loss anxiety. The thought of going through that pain again scares me so much. I guess there is nothing we can do, but it really takes away from the excitement of trying.
@shinyobjects I only see notifications if I'm actively on the app and they pop up. Otherwise, I think desktop is the only way. They really need to hire a new tech team to make it more user friendly. And your GTYK is so interesting/cool. I love it!

TW loss mentioned in spoiler
Due with baby #2: Feb 2022
@daisy0322 good luck weaning! i wrapped that up exactly on c's first birthday! i was very, very done.
@rachelredhead i've had 2 friends who dealt with that anxiety when having #2, i'm sorry!
@beakay8 oh that's so fun about the names! any thoughts on passing it down as a first/middle name?
@shinyobjects yea the app.... sucks. not sure who is on their tech team, but they should hire new ppl. i mainly use a browser window on my phone over the app
@kgg2241 ok your gtky is wild! i've never heard of that!
@jlbaker08 is it like a coat of arms? the name? can you share more?
@babyodo your cindo de mayo plans sounds delish!!!
Also, oh man, leaving the kid with the grandparents is the best feeling. I was nervous the first time we did it, but since that time, I try to schedule a grandparent visit every other month for my kid. He loves their house and asks to go all the time. It's so good for everyone.
@rachelredhead sorry for the anxiety, friend. It's understandable after the heartbreak
@beakay8 that's really cool / funny about the names! It also sounds like you were meant to be.
@jlbaker08 hopefully you're a unicorn and it happens quickly for you. The waiting game sucks.
@shinyobjects there's nothing like the TWW to show you how impatient you truly are. I swear it's like 2 months long sometimes.
@kgg2241 is your monitor working better? Hopefully you're able to figure out what's going on with your body soon. I can't remember, are you being monitored at all while on letrozole? That's insane that you can smell when people are getting sick...I knew dogs could do it, but had no idea humans could!
@babyodo it's so nice feeling like your body is getting back to what it's "supposed" to do! I got my first period at 4m PP and was surprised that it immediately went back to it's typical 26-28 day cycles. Our bodies are so cool. I've never heard of that CB test but that's weird it's not available here. Hope you enjoy the Cinco de Mayo potluck!
@bows22 sorry, I'm no help with your Q about temping. I remember mine taking a long time before too but I know there are quick read ones. TBH I wonder if the quick read infant one would work since that one's so speedy (we have the frida mom one) but not sure it would go in far enough hahaha
@anniemarie887 it's crazy how it can be so easy for one kid and not for another! Bodies are a true mystery. Glad you all enjoyed some kid free time this weekend. sounds lovely! I love when my ILs watch DD for a day or overnight every once in a while. They adore her, and I get some time to not be 100% on mom mode.
@anniemarie887 Uhhh that is amazing that your parents took your daughter for so long. I would have a hard time with it I'm sure, but I'd also love not needing to make breakfast and do the whole morning routine for even one morning.
@b_1029 the first 2 were surprises so this is all very new and I'm trying to be cautiously optimistic without setting myself up to be disappointed. RE: TTC with others at home, we go for it right after the kids go to bed... we're also lucky to still be working from home together, so we have opportunities while they're at school too
Eep, this thread is long! I’ll try to come back later for more tags.
@babyodo I can do that too! Really freaks my DH out.
@b_1029 The “suck it up to seduce” makes me giggle a little. So much is unglamorous about TTC!

Ages of other child(ren)? 3.75
Any thoughts about this cycle? Feeling the pressure of getting older. I hate the feeling of a biological clock, but it does make me anxious.
Any questions?
Rant/Rave? My DD is getting to be such a great kid. I hated the baby stage (she was difficult, and I had PPA), but each stage since then has been better than the last.
GTKY: What is something that’s true about you but sounds made up? I can’t think of anything too awesome, but I did have 6 wisdom teeth. So wise over here! Or I was until I had them removed.

@daisy0322 That is so sweet about your son. DD just gave me a "cupcake" (made of a circular shape sorter toy and a chalk egg), and wished me a Happy Birthday! too cute!</div>
@anniemarie887 omg that sounds amazing! I totally get it. Everyone needs a break, it doesn't diminish any love for the little one. We did a 3 day weekend away when dd was 9 mo and it was so glorious. Feels like a million years ago.
@b_1029 omg suck it up and seduce, lol. I hear you!! And the man flu struggle is reaaaaaal.
