Re: TFAS w/o May 6

  • What number are you trying for?  2 

    Month/Cycle?  1 after our break. 

    WTO/TWW?  TWW but not holding out 

    Ages of other child(ren)? 5 this month. 

    Any thoughts about this cycle? Husbands training got moved up so we are likely out this cycle. But PCOS makes ovulation timing a little wonky so it’s possible. 

    Any questions?

    I love goodwill or thrift stores. I’ve found some really amazing things.

    Month/Cycle? Stopped counting

    WTO/TWW? WTO

    Ages of other child(ren)? 5 and 6

    Any thoughts about this cycle? Waiting to be matched with embryos still, so nothing will happen this cycle 

    Any questions? Anyone have any tips to get your kids to be quiet? It’s like my kids never stop talking lol

    Rant/Rave? We are going to a wedding later this month and I was panicking for a bit because all the usual people I ask to babysit are busy or out of town that day. I was asking around to see if other parents had babysitter recs and at first no one did. But I finally got a recommendation from someone and got it all scheduled. Phew! I was worried only one of us would be able to go to the wedding.

    When they were babies, I mostly shopped at the local thrift store. But now 5 and 6 year old boys destroy their clothes too quickly so there usually aren’t a lot of options at the thrift store. So I do Carter’s and Target.

    I'm on my second cycle after a miscarriage, didn't try on the first cycle. And I think I'll need to take a break next cycle due to vacation timing. So I guess I'm on cycle 1 of trying post miscarriage?

    WTO/TWW? TWW

    Ages of other child(ren)? 1.5

    Any thoughts about this cycle? I don't think our timing was good. I am rusty at tracking and need to get back into the swing of daily testing. 

    Any questions? TW
    Anyone else trying after miscarriage? The TCAL forum is pretty slow, so I figured I'd see if there's anyone posting here.

    Rant: My spouse has been really difficult lately. He never adapted well to having to parent together. He says it was easier to ignore my annoying quirks when we didn't have to work together on parenting. 🤦 Meanwhile I'm the happiest I've ever been, I feel lucky to be a mom. 😂🤷 So frustrating.

    GTKY: What is your favorite place to shop for kids’ clothes? Carter's! Really most of our clothes have been hand me downs or gifts but I shop at Carter's whenever we need something extra. Love that most of their stuff is all cotton. I'm avoiding synthetics as much as possible.

    We are also trying again after a miscarriage. I tried to come back right after it happened and it wasn’t good for my brain. It’s been a little over a year and I’m better. Now working on getting the weight I gained off and go from there. I have PCOS so I don’t always know where I’m at as far as WTO or TWW but happy to chat anytime.

    The weirdest part for me is not really having told anyone that it happened. Family keeps asking when we're making a sibling, and it's like well we really tried. 😭 We had planned to tell them I was pregnant at 12 weeks and we had the miscarriage at 10, so no one really knew and it seemed weird to bring it up. I feel you with not knowing where you're at in the cycle. My cycles have been bizarre so far, part of why it was really hard to time tracking. Are you doing better now? Sorry you've been through this too. ❤️
