GTKY: What are you currently binge watching (or what have you most recently binge watched)? Whatever MH is bingeing on in the evenings — usually Seinfeld, Frasier or Parks & Rec.

stashattack · March 2023

@britters314 ugh kids waking up too early is a crime against humanity.

@virginiaham ugh send me some of that warmth. We had some beautiful days here than an awful cold snap!

ejoseph16 · March 2023

@stashattack Greys loses me real quick… I can’t do anything past season 9 or 10. Then again, most medical shows lose me like that. Lol. Too much to think about I think.

@britters314 omg I haaaaaaate early wake ups! I love dance moms… but mostly for the drama 😂

@virginiaham man, driving with sun beating on you! I’d be sleeping!

What number are you trying for? 2

Month/Cycle? 13/10AL

WTO/TWW? WTO

Ages of other child(ren)? 3 on Wednesday!

Any thoughts about this cycle? Hoping to actually get back to full blown trying. Which means I’ll get my hopes up just to be let down.

Any questions? Does everyone else struggle finding the time/energy to DTD? I feel like DH and I are just done by the end of the night.

Rant/Rave? DS’s birthday party was yesterday! He’s our quarantine baby, born right before the whole world shut down in March of 2020. It’s hard to believe that was 3 years ago already. But, family parties bring on family drama… and I ended the day crying in frustration. I just don’t understand my brother and sister in law and it makes me so mad for DS.

GTKY: What are you currently binge watching (or what have you most recently binge watched)? I am currently obsessed with true crime documentaries. I just finished the Murdaugh Murders on Netflix! But, Love is Blind releases Friday. Then I break out my gold wine glass and I’m a goner until it’s over 😂

britters314 · March 2023

@ejoseph16 Yeah, we are also always way too tired to DTD at night. I actually brought this up in last week’s thread lol. Sometimes we are able to do the middle of the day, when the kids have nap/quiet time, but that only works on weekends or days when H works from home.

stashattack · March 2023

@ejoseph16 omg I saw that about love is blind. I can fucking wait 😹 I feel you on the COVID baby.y daughter was born 12/25/19 and I had literally been back to work for 2 weeks before the world shut down. We haven't even done an official party for her yet 😭 it sucks.

ejoseph16 · March 2023

@britters314 ugh I wish middle of the day worked for us! We struggle bus in the morning, so that’s not happening. I hate this about TTC… but it was so much easier without a LO around 😂

@stashattack I am a love is blind junkie! Covid made me this way! Lol! My friends and I all got the gold wine glasses on Etsy, and we drink from them and binge watch together!

birdmama87 · March 2023

What number are you trying for? 3

Month/Cycle? 5/4 i think? i have already lost track.

WTO/TWW? TWW

Ages of other child(ren)? 2 and 4 (they're exactly 2 years apart, minus 3 days)

Any thoughts about this cycle? Getting pretty discouraged, though I know it's still early. Today should be avout 11DPO and I've been testing for 3 days and still nothing. Got what I can only assume are indent lines on FRER tests two days back to back but nothing else. (Side note: WHY do I keep buying these tests?!) Also did a Proov test kit this cycle and am super confused about the results, so if anyone has used this I'd love to chat!

Any questions? Has anyone had high FSH levels? Mine read SUPER high (like, in the 40s) using the Proov test and I am really confused and concerned.

Rant/Rave? Feeling super frustrated in general, also absolutely exhausted and still cannot get it together after the time change. Ugh.

GTKY: What are you currently binge watching (or what have you most recently binge watched)? Party Down and wre-watching the first two seasons of Ted Lasso before starting season three!!

@britters314 and @ejoseph16 -- i am in the SAME boat. we've had the best luck timing it for right after the kids go down to bed.. so around 8pm. otherwise we're both way too exhausted. and both kids end up in the bed with us at some point overnight so later at night and early morning are definitely out.

halfanewt · March 2023

What number are you trying for? 3

Month/Cycle? 3/2

WTO/TWW? WTO

Ages of other child(ren)? 4, 1

Any thoughts about this cycle? Still hopeful, but we’ll see. Still in the early stages

Any questions? Nope

Rant/Rave? Big project due Friday that I really don’t want to do, so obviously I’m procrastinating!

GTKY: What are you currently binge watching (or what have you most recently binge watched)? Finally finished last season of GBBO. I don’t watch much TV - never seem to find the time!

charmedlifex3 · March 2023

What number are you trying for? 3rd LC

Month/Cycle? 9 months, 6 cycles

WTO/TWW? Benched pending d and c

Ages of other child(ren)? 6,2

Any thoughts about this cycle? Definitely not. We are waiting for a d and c on Friday, then one natural cycle before medication

Any questions?

Rant/Rave? This has been the absolute worst month of my life. But! I’m almost done working. The plan is for me to become a SAHM for a few years. We have to move to Boston area for my husbands career and the daycare math doesn’t add up.

GTKY: What are you currently binge watching (or what have you most recently binge watched)? Mayfair witches! So so good (Tw demon pregnancy though, if you read the books ikyk)

bumbly_b23 · March 2023

Month/Cycle? 1

WTO/TWW? TWW

Ages of other child(ren)? 3

Any thoughts about this cycle? I mean it would be super cool but I’m not holding any hopes for it. Happy to see my body is working and will go from there.

Any questions?

Rant/Rave?

GTKY: What are you currently binge watching (or what have you most recently binge watched)?

Big Bang Theory is my go to for a binge watch.

charmedlifex3 · March 2023

@bumbly_b23 I swear my husband is a character on that. Hes a robotics engineer and his company is quirky in the same nerdy way.

geekprincess26 · March 2023

What number are you trying for? 2/last

Month/Cycle? 4/5

WTO/TWW? WTO (CD8)

Ages of other child(ren)? 2.5

Any thoughts about this cycle? Not even 5 cycles in, and I'm already over it. I was so sure that cycle #4 was the one, but nope. My body faked me out *hard*. Here I go again with another round of taking urine samples and doing OPKs almost every. Single. Day. @ejoseph16 is right - TTC #1 vs. TTC #2 with a LO in the mix is night and day. I have enough test sticks for my fancy urine hormone analyzer for one more cycle, but I'm considering quitting the hormone tests after that and using just OPKs, like I did TTC my daughter. #oldandtired

Any questions? Can I sleep now?

Rant/Rave? Last cycle, I did a Let's Get Checked AMH blood test and got 0.37. This cycle, I did a Modern Fertility blood test and got 1.12. Will my real AMH level please stand up?

GTKY: What are you currently binge watching (or what have you most recently binge watched)? Just started watching "History's Greatest Mysteries" on the History Channel - one of their more practical, less alien-tastic shows. It's not half bad.

@charmedlifex3 Hugs. Just hugs. I am so, so sorry. Please take good care of yourself.

@birdmama87 I have learned the hard way that urine tests - from any brand, not just Proov - are not as accurate as blood tests for measuring FSH. I've tested mine for 4 cycles straight and gotten results anywhere from 10.2 to 18.3! This month, I bit the bullet for a blood test and am so glad I did - I got an 11.78 and trust the results a lot more. It was totally worth the extra money. I'm fine with using urine tests for LH and progesterone, but only blood tests give precise enough AMH and FSH results, at least until the technology behind urine tests improves. (I do love the Proov progesterone tests I've used; they've confirmed my ovulations for 4 cycles straight. If you have any specific questions, I'd be happy to try and answer them.)

mambo5-2 · March 2023

WTO/TWW? WTO

Any thoughts about this cycle? Periods are garbage

Any questions? Nope

Rant/Rave? Not really the weather needs to stable out. This hot cold snowing raining, freezing, windy nonsense is enough

GTKY: What are you currently binge watching (or what have you most recently binge watched)? I don't have time to watch TV 😭. I binged Wednesday and that was good. I literally never watch TV.
