Any thoughts about this cycle? Just started, so no thoughts yet, we’ll see

Any questions? Nope

Rant/Rave? I had to go to the ER yet again yesterday. One of my sons fell off his scooter and got a big gash in his chin. Luckily he didn’t end up needing stitches and they were able to use surgical glue instead. I didn’t realize having kids would mean spending so much time in the ER lol

GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? We worked together at our church. The first time we worked a shift together we really hit it off and afterward I immediately added him on Facebook and then we got engaged about 2 1/2 months later.

@britters314 sorry about cd1 and going to the ER. I feel like we go through phases where we might as well live at urgent care and/or the ER.

What number are you trying for? 2

Month/Cycle? 13/9 AL

WTO/TWW? TWW

Ages of other child(ren)? 3

Any thoughts about this cycle? We had really good timing and I feel good about it, but for as long as we have been trying, I’m mentally preparing myself to not be KU.

Any questions?

Rant/Rave? I had Friday and today off as my spring break. Got in some good mommy & son time with DS, which has been lovely! He’s killing it with being in his big boy bed, which is SUCH a relief!

GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? We are an eharmony couple! I moved back to my hometown after living in Phoenix for 3 years, and my SIL convinced me to sign up. He was my first match! We were officially in a relationship within a month, and engaged within 6 months of meeting each other in person ❤️ now we have been married for 6.5 years.

Any thoughts about this cycle? Super hopeful! So, trying to temper to cautious optimism 😉

Any questions? Nope

Rant/Rave? It’s spring break and I’m feeling in an organizational mood. Getting stuff done today! Also Easter was super fun. My littler one was old enough to get it this year. So cute!

GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? His older brother introduced us. We’ve been together since my senior year!

halfanewt · April 2023

@ejoseph16 yay for mommy and son time! So nice to have that dedicated time together

@britters314 sorry about CD1, and for the ER visit!

Month/Cycle? 5/5

WTO/TWW? TWW (13 DPO - probably the last day of my luteal phase, since I never go over 13 days)

Ages of other child(ren)? 2.5

Any thoughts about this cycle? We had the same timing this cycle as we did during the cycle when I conceived our daughter. In fact, I was comparing my chart to other charts on FF and one of the matches it generated was my chart for that cycle.

Any questions? No.

Rant/Rave? We took our daughter to her first church service ever yesterday, and she behaved so well! We thought we'd take turns taking her out into the hallway, but she was totally fine. We only had to shush her a few times when she said, "Sing songs!" during the prayers or sermon because she like the music so much.

GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? On Plenty of Fish, a horribly-designed free dating site I would NEVER recommend to anyone. In my defense, I had gone to six weddings as a single woman that year (2013) and desperately needed a diversion, so I joined up. My husband had joined the previous month in an attempt to convince his buddy to give it a try. His was the first substantive, non-creepy message I got, and the rest is history! We were tortoises compared to some posters here, since we waited 4 years to get engaged, but we're both cautious by nature, and the extra time enabled us to make a decision in which we both had 100% confidence. (Nine years later, his friend has yet to set up an online profile. Oh, well.)

@britters314 Girl, take that "KICK ME" sign off your back! FX for a nice, drama-free cycle.

@halfanewt YES. Cautious optimism. It's a balance I'm still trying to find.

@ejoseph16 So glad your son is transitioning smoothly into his big bed!

virginiaham · April 2023

@britters314 Glad they could at least use the glue so no stitches.

@ejoseph16 oh man a good transition to a new bed is huge, hooray for him!

@halfanewt and @geekprincess26 FX for testing!

What number are you trying for? 3

Month/Cycle? 2/2 now AL

WTO/TWW? WTO

Ages of other child(ren)? 2 & 5

Any thoughts about this cycle? I’m so thankful for CD1 and a quick resolution, but feeling deflated moving forward and not in a great headspace today.

Any questions?

Rant/Rave?

GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? We met on a military base in Europe as he was traveling back to the states from his deployment, he asked me out, I thought he was crazy, then a few days later had this sinking feeling that I would be missing out if I didn’t give him a chance—turns out I would have!

charmedlifex3 · April 2023

What number are you trying for? 3

Month/Cycle? 10/6

WTO/TWW? TWW! Confirmed ovulation following a d and c a few weeks ago, so WFAF and we can try a few more medicated cycles.

Ages of other child(ren)? 2 and 6

Any thoughts about this cycle? Just waiting to get off the bench

Any questions?

Rant/Rave? We have fish. My husband brought home two “male” fish. Well. One wasn’t. We now have baby fish. The kids are super excited and I’m like … uh what now? Also. A fish nursery was NOT the one I planned to set up this year! Baby fish in spoiler

GTKY: How did you and your SO meet We met at the flower stall of a farmers market. The farmer did the flowers for our wedding! My husband bought the same flower I did as an excuse to talk to me without being weird, then walked up, made a strangled grunting noise and snapped the flower in half nervously. 😂 luckily I thought it was funny/ cute. Wedding photo in spoiler - the pink and yellow dahlia is the one we met over!

Any thoughts about this cycle? Yeah its a wash, H hurt his foot and was in a boot. I got a cold. Nothing happened it is what it is.

Any questions? Nope

Rant/Rave? I have decided we are moving. Ideally to Florida, I am over the cold weather. I already got a job offer in Florida. H is applying. DD1 and I are already going to Florida next month of Cheerleading Worlds and my best friend lives there. We need a change.

GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? HAHAHAH Which time.... So We met when I was in 8th grade and he was working my track meet. In 9th grade he saw me at band concert. In 10th grade out schools combined and he sat behind me in math and pretended to be bad at math.
