Re: TFAS w/o March 3

  • What number are you trying for? 3

    Month/Cycle? Stopped counting

    WTO/TWW? TWW (10dpo)

    Ages of other child(ren)? 7.5 and 6.5

    Any thoughts about this cycle? We didn’t get any timing this cycle. I’m hoping we get to the next step of our embryo adoption before the end of this cycle, though.

    Any questions? Nope

    Rant/Rave? Today is DS1’s adoption anniversary! We don’t do a party for it, but we did a dinner celebration over the weekend and he got a present today.

    I definitely hate changing the clocks, especially with kids. I think I’d be fine with either permanent standard time or permanent DST.

  • Month/Cycle? 3 

    WTO/TWW? WTO

    Ages of other child(ren)? 22-18 months 

    Any thoughts about this cycle? Ovulation is happening quicker. TW…..My CP really messed up my hormones. I find it crazy for it to take this long to get regulated after a 5 day pregnancy. 

    Any questions? No

    Rant/Rave? I’m sensing a new cold virus. I’m so sick of us being sick. I have added vit D and C to the kid’s supplements. I’m thinking we definitely need the extra vit D in the winter to help us. I have congestion and some sneezing and my youngest has started coughing. I feel very discouraged by the amount of viruses we keep getting. 

    GTKY: What would be your preference with Daylight Saving Time? Keep the time changes, permanent standard time, or permanent DST? I prefer standard time. The sun is rising by 7:30 so we have gained 2.5 hours in the last several weeks. I want my midnight sun back so I can enjoy longer days.

    Month/Cycle? This is our 2nd intentional cycle, we were NTNP for a couple of cycles prior

    WTO/TWW? WTO

    Ages of other child(ren)? 3

    Any thoughts about this cycle? I go back and forth if I want to bench myself for the coming cycles as I don't really want another winter baby (my daughter's birthday is January). But then I think that that's a really dumb reason to not try.

    Any questions? Nope

    Rant/Rave? I'm cranky and tired from waking up with a cold and from my daughter coming into our bed at 3AM (a common occurrence). 

    GTKY: What would be your preference with Daylight Saving Time? DST confuses the hell out of me. Pick one thing and stick with it. Although, I'm all for it staying lighter longer.
  • @fifilala516 I have thought about benching myself too to avoid a December baby. I already have 2 November babies. This cycle will produce another if it’s successful. By the time December arrives I’m so fatigued with gift giving that I struggle to find anything for Christmas to give to my kids. We literally have a birthday season that starts in August and ends in November and it’s just exhausting. 
  • @emeraldcity603 We do experiences instead of gifts for birthdays and it really helps avoid the gift-shopping fatigue. My three siblings and I all have birthdays September - December and idk how my parents always had gift ideas for us by Christmas lol
  • @britters314 DH wouldn’t like just experiences. Plus in Alaska there aren’t many options for that. I have been getting toy magazines and having them circle 10 things they want the most and I choose from those 10 things for bdays and Christmas. It has made it much easier. I suck at gift buying. We don’t do Santa either so I don’t have to worry about that getting spoiled.

    Month/Cycle? Lost track

    WTO/TWW? TWW

    Ages of other child(ren)? 2

    Any thoughts about this cycle? I think our timing was good, we'll see how it plays out. I'm giving myself until around May to bring up going to the fertility clinic again. Trying to be patient, we haven't actually had that many cycles with successful timing so it's ok to try on our own a couple more times. 

    Any questions? No

    Rant/Rave? Rave: Spouse has been doing a great job taking our little one out and about and playing with him. He's a stay at home dad and I've just really appreciated how hard he's working lately.

    It doesn't affect me too much, but getting rid of the time change seems sensible. I don't really care which one we end up on.
