  • What number are you trying for? 5

    Month/Cycle? 4/2?

    WTO/TWW? TWW 

    Ages of other child(ren)? 6.5g, almost 5b, 3b, 1g

    Any thoughts about this cycle? I think I actually caught my lh surge with opks this time, and we have good timing, so fx this is it!

    Any questions? nope

    Rant/Rave? Rave: hubs and I are getting along the best we ever have, which make baby dancing so much more pleasant. 

    GTKY: best/winner: slot cars race track. worst: everything on the list I curated for my mom that she completely ignored... miss:domino train, American girl dolls and outfits.

    Also, hi @fantasyflyte you get to hang here now too! Hope both of our stay is short and we get to be bmb buddies again!

    What number are you trying for? 2

    Month/Cycle? 1/1

    WTO/TWW? WTO

    Ages of other child(ren)? 1

    Any thoughts about this cycle? Glad to finally have gotten my cycle back so we can start trying again! For now we're just tracking and trying ourselves, I need to look at our insurance and see of we can gl straight back to IUI or if we have to try for 6 months again. Either way, I think we'll probably try for a few months to save up for IUI in case we need it again.

    Any questions? Not yet

    Rant/Rave? I managed to get a stomach bug just in time to spend all of NYD in bed. It sucked. Thank goodness my husband was also off and could take care of the baby because I could barely sit upright.

    GTKY: Best I'd say are the Little People toys she got. Her cousin (less than a year older) LOVES the LP toys and my daughter is following in her footsteps lol. There weren't really any "bad" gifts, happily.
  • What number are you trying for? 3 (first two are adopted/being adopted)

    Month/Cycle? Stopped counting

    WTO/TWW? WTO

    Ages of other child(ren)? 5 and 6

    Any thoughts about this cycle? None so far, only on CD 4

    Any questions? Nope

    Rant/Rave? Both of my kids got sick on Christmas and now H and I have been sick since. It’s been a pretty awful week.

    GTKY: Best and worst thing your kid(s) got this holiday season. Or hits/misses on toys.
    We took our kids to see The Grinch Broadway musical and they said that was their favorite gift. Their favorite toy they got was probably a marble run. I don’t think there were any bad gifts this year, so I don’t have an answer for that part.
  • @fantasyflyte @britters314 so sorry to hear about all the illnesses, hopefully you both are back to feeling 100% soon.

  • @sejica ah rogue family not paying attention to your lists. My LH surge has really shortened since having a baby and I did miss it one month. I was so mad!

    @fantasyflyte I would think you can just go right back to doing an IUI, but I know how stupid insurance can be. Hope you're feeling better from your stomach bug! My sister bought DS a bunch of the Little People toys too. He loves them! I got him the dump truck a while ago so I added the bus, firetruck, and recycle truck to his wish list. He got so many things with wheels haha.

    @britters314 omg there's a Grinch broadway musical??? My nieces love the Grinch! I would be the best aunt ever if I gifted that haha.

    Hope everyone is feeling better from all their illnesses <3 we've all been healthy here outside of DS's congestion and runny nose for a few weeks. It helps that I don't put him in daycare right now. I'm in for a rude awakening when that changes :#

    What number are you trying for? 2

    Month/Cycle? 3/2

    WTO/TWW? TWW (8dpo today with a BFN)

    Ages of other child(ren)? 1.5 y/o

    Any thoughts about this cycle? Man we had such good timing and were really enjoying ourselves so I'm bummed this cycle didn't work! Although I'm still pretty sure I need an endo scratch first to get my lining to be responsive to accept an embryo so I'm not totally bummed. Honestly the longer this takes the more excited I'll be about having a 3rd trimester be in the cooler months of the year haha

    Any questions? why does my child sleep through the night one night and then decide he's up for the day at basically 4/5AM??? Boy was I TIRED this morning staying up with him. He wouldn't cuddle to sleep in the chair so we watched some TV. Also does anyone else let their 1 y/o's watch way too much TV? :#

    Rant/Rave? I was not thrilled about being back at work this week. DS seems to do better with the routine. Except we're not really in a good routine by not consistently sleeping through the night :angry: 

    GTKY: Best and worst thing your kid(s) got this holiday season. Or hits/misses on toys. DS loves all his Little People toys. The biggest hit is probably his Cozy Truck because my parents ended up with two of them. The delivery person gave it to the wrong house so my dad called Target and so they shipped out another one. Once the location of the original was discovered my dad called back that we didn't need the second one but it must have already shipped out or whatever so they couldn't take it back so that's the story of two Cozy Trucks. One now lives at their house for him to play with while they watch him twice a week.

    #3 (living) 

    it’s been over a year. 

    TWW as of today I think? 

    3y and 7y

    i have high hopes for this cycle! Medicated cycle and we hit the timing pretty well. Fingers crossed. 

    I’m not super excited about the 12 inches of snow heading our way…. But the kids are. Oh well. 

    GTKY - hit- we got our daughter all new doll house furniture and it completely revived her interest in her doll house she got last year. My son we got him Minecraft for his switch. He had it on kindle but we couldn’t fully disconnect that from the internet (the switch we can) and some how he was talking to strangers, so we had to take it away. He can’t really read yet and it was text “talking” (and seemed banal) so no harm done but not something I’m comfortable with waiting for it to go wrong. So he has Minecraft back safely and is happy!
