Any questions? Nope
Rant/Rave? Our top daycare has a new director and didn't know she was at capacity for 2-day a week kiddos. The back up options aren't bad, but clearly not as ideal as our top choice for a few reasons. I'm a little frustrated. At 3 days a week is just a bit crazy for us to pay right now.
GTKY: What are your Valentine’s Day plans? Ummmm I have no idea? Getting ready for our disney trip next week.

Any thoughts about this cycle? Just hoping I don’t get sick again so we can actually have a chance this cycle
Any questions?
Rant/Rave? We are meeting with our adoption attorney today to go over the paperwork for adopting our 4 year old. Excited to finally get the ball rolling on this!
GTKY: What are your Valentine’s Day plans? We’ll be celebrating this coming weekend. We are going to see Les Mis on Broadway (in Chicago, not NYC) and the kids will be staying at my parents’ house overnight so we’ll even get to sleep in a bit the next morning!
Month/Cycle? 2.5/4
WTO/TWW? WTO - CD2

Any thoughts about this cycle? I just ordered an infrared light belt from Amazon; I've read a lot lately about low-level laser therapy and its proven effects on female fertility, and I finally bit the bullet and bought one. I'm also taking my Let's Get Checked FSH/AMH blood tests tomorrow and hoping that my numbers aren't too bad.
Any questions? Not right now.
Rant/Rave? Periods on Valentine's Day. Ugh.
GTKY: What are your Valentine’s Day plans? We get weekly dinner boxes from EveryPlate, and I ordered a couple of their a la carte items for our Valentine's dinner. Not super glamorous, but we have a 2-year-old daughter and no local babysitters, so chicken quesadillas and garlic bread it is!
Granted, each light device is a little bit different, and I plan to study the user manual for my light very carefully before I use it. It's a belt device, which is a bit different from the devices used by most of the women in the discussion thread I linked above. If I get pregnant while using it, I'll definitely post my own methodology and results here.
Month/Cycle? 2/1
WTO/TWW? TWW, I assume? Waiting for cycles to regulate, but on CD41…
Ages of other child(ren)? 4, 1.75
Any thoughts about this cycle? Just waiting for AF
Any questions? Nope
Rant/Rave? Potty training my little is going pretty well!
GTKY: What are your Valentine’s Day plans? Fancy heart shaped ravioli from Costco and leftover cupcakes. Living it up!

@stashattack I just read your signature and noticed that your daughter was born 12/25/2019, which is the same day I took my pregnancy test and found out I was pregnant with our daughter! Lovely random coincidence there.
AFM, I had such a terrible time getting my blood sample yesterday that I only had time to take one test before rushing off to work. Even worse, I mixed up the tests and took the AMH panel instead of the full female hormone panel, which has to be taken on CD3, so I get to wait another month to take that one. Yay. At least the turnaround on my AMH test was very quick; the results came back in today. 0.37 - NOT the number I was hoping for. I did the same test 3 years ago and got a 1.6! Apparently my ability to conceive fell off a cliff after I had my daughter. I'll be lucky to get pregnant even if I add the LLLT to my routine. Some days, I really hate being 41. This is one of them.

@britters314 I got my LLLT device yesterday and used it for the first time tonight. It produced a little heat, but I'm so used to the high-powered heating pad I use on my back sometimes that it barely registered with me. I used it on my pelvic area tonight and plan to use it on the back of my neck tomorrow, then alternate days until I've confirmed my ovulation. I'll definitely have an update for you if it works this month!
