Age of LO(s): 9 months this week
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 27/?
RRCS: so last week I put 1/1, but I decided I need to just stick with 2/2 since we did accidentally have sex during the FW last cycle.
Rant- I cannot remember to temp in the mornings! I don't know why it's so hard to get back into the swing of it!
GTKY: Whats your favorite season/weather? Why? Do you have a favorite activity during that season/weather?
-I love everything about fall! I love the temperature, nature, the smells. My favorite activity is anything with pumpkins. Carving, painting, picking.

Age of LO(s): 4-ish, 1.5-ish
Month/Cycle: 6/6
CD/DPO:31/?
RRCS: Not TTC related, but...Halloween is just around the corner and I always have the best intentions to get a costume, but rarely do. I definitely want to this time because it'll be so soon after moving into our new house and I want to meet the neighbors with kids and make a fun impression..or something. Would it be weird to extend a general friendly invitation for a playdate to the parents of kids around my kids' age? With the excuse that we just moved in? I'm really not socially savvy.

I love autumn. I love the brisk air, the red maples' leaves changing, and Halloween decorations. Favorite fall activity is going to the pumpkin patch or a Renaissance Festival.

this may not be helpful, but last year at Halloween my grandma's neighbors went house to house with their kid(s). They introduced themselves at each house and it definitely made an impression on us. Had my cousins been their kids age it wouldn't have been weird post Halloween.

Because of where I live, winter is my favorite time of year. If I lived somewhere else, spring would be. I love being outside and jogging when the temperature is mild.

Month/Cycle: 11/2 AL
CD/DPO: 22/--
RRCS: Still haven't O'd. I'm on the late end of normal. I had 1 cycle (before loss) I O'd on CD 27 or 28, but that wasn't normal. My normal is CD 19-22. I'm assuming it's more weirdness AL and I'm pissed off. I feel like I've been wtds for so long.
GTKY: Whats your favorite season/weather? Why? Do you have a favorite activity during that season/weather?
Fall. I wish it was fall all year. I can't stand winter or summer. Spring is okay. I love Halloween and thanksgiving, the colors, the smells, pumpkin patches, hay rides, corn mazes. Ahh, best time of the year!

whitney, I found it difficult to get back into temping as well but setting an alarm in the morning before I would normally have to get up was a good reminder. sammichcat, the excuse of just moving in is the best for meeting new people! I would definitely use that for at least a few months  MauLoaM0M, we didn't have great timing either this cycle, womp womp. Age of LO(s): 2 Month/Cycle: 14/14 CD/DPO: 18/3 RRCS: Our timing wasn't great (just -2) and this cycle has been a little wonky. Just got the bill for our RE visits; the initial visit was covered but not the basic testing so I'll have to call insurance to deal with that. H's company covers IF treatment but not testing, but our insurance is pretty good and should have covered the testing (I didn't check beforehand because we were going to do it either way and I knew I didn't need a referral). Blargh, I hate dealing with insurance stuff. GTKY: Whats your favorite season/weather? Why? Do you have a favorite activity during that season/weather? Fall is great but I wished it lasted longer! Here it's barely a few weeks (this year doesn't even count, we got snow the last week of summer). I do love summer as long as it's somewhere a little milder or at least tropical

Month/Cycle:5
CD/DPO: 20/3
RRCS: We dtd on -4 and -2 according to FF. That's not great, but not terrible. My h really cannot with sex on demand which is annoying to me.
I also cut my kid way back on nursing so I am hoping that my prolactin lowers quickly and maybe even lowered enough this cycle to make ttc more likely. I drastically reduced overall nursing time about 1 week before O. But I'm done getting my hopes up each month.
GTKY: Whats your favorite season/weather? Why? Do you have a favorite activity during that season/weather?
Fall and winter in California. I like cool but not cold. I love thanksgiving and fall activities.

Hi, chiming in because I go here now.
Age of LO(s): 3
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 16/? (I think O is today or tomorrow, waiting on sustained temps to confirm)
RRCS: I think our timing is great if I O as predicted!
GTKY: Whats your favorite season/weather? Why? Do you have a favorite activity during that season/weather? Where I live, Sept and Oct are often some of our warmest weather, so I really love late fall, when the temps start actually dropping (but that ignores the fact that the days are so short...I hate that)

CD/DPO: 4/17

GTKY: Whats your favorite season/weather? Why? Do you have a favorite activity during that season/weather? When I lived in New England, fall was by far my favorite season. The temperature is always perfect, the leaves changing colors are gorgeous, pumpkin everything, Halloween & Thanksgiving. Now that I live in the sweaty armpit that is Florida, I still enjoy it, but it's not the same.

Yogurt, how's is the nursing draw down going? Rough, but better day by day. I'm letting her nurse twice a day, night time and morning, but nothing else. She is getting it, but motn is still hard. I'm going to try try with her nursing 2x daily for a few cycles before I consider weaning her more. Thanks for asking |

I'm going to try try with her nursing 2x daily for a few cycles before I consider weaning her more. Thanks for asking 2 times a day is a huge leap! I can't imagine how difficult this must be but I am also so impressed with how far you've come! Has it helped her sleep at all? Hope your nights get better soon |

I can't imagine how difficult this must be but I am also so impressed with how far you've come! Has it helped her sleep at all? Hope your nights get better soon I realized I never answered the question here. She was waking up pretty consistently between 1 and 4. Now she is waking up between 4 and 5 which is close to sttn. I did decide that if when she wakes up it has been 8 hours since her night nursing, I would first try to put her off nursing, but then I would tell her we can have milk now, but then not before school. So I'd have to say it has helped her sleep better. I mean, I can't tell yet if I will be able to get pregnant like this. I hope I don't have to wean completely to get pregnant...but then if I got pregnant I would probably wean pretty soon anyway, especially with a preemie last time. |

Hi I'm new here. I used to be an active poster on TB-TTGP under a different username. Before I start posting here, I just want to make sure this is "Trying For A Second" thread. Also, what does RRCS stand for? |

I've always read it as "rants, raves, concerns, and symptoms" but chart stalks works too.
