I haven't been checking in because I'm just blah about it all. Not ready to give up though. It's weird, when I am approaching my period I get excited thinking I could be, but then my period comes and I get almost a sense of relief? It's so weird.
1. Over two years now trying. 2. Just finished my period on Saturday, so no testing yet. 3. I think we're going to have H go in for a SA next month. If that looks good, then I'll get workup done. Not sure if we'll do anything (IUI, IVF) though so the tests may be a waste of time and money. 4. Least- going back to square one after DD has become so independent. And diapers. Most- that I'd be able to BF again (I didn't cherish the end with DD because I automatically assumed I'd do it again some day). And give DD a sibling.

1. cycle 7, CD 8, TTC #2
2. OPKs soon..
3. I'm distracted, so that's good. I've also reformed my eating & drinking this cycle. I was waiting to get KU to do so, but I was getting pretty down on myself. Maybe my slimmer self and renewed energy will signal it's time to get a BFP?
4. I want all.the.snuggles! My LO is adorable but he's not a snuggler. I don't look forward to the blank baby look - that time before they're smiling and really looking back at you. Bonus - I can't wait to see DS as a big brother. My DCP and in laws keep saying he'll be so good (patient, caring, great at sharing, not jealous, etc.)
3. No real thoughts this week...I'm having trouble getting into temping, testing, etc. this time.
4. I love having a baby - the cuddles, the nursing - I feel like I'm good at being a baby mother. And I want to have a sibling for B. I'm not looking forward to those early, sleepless nights. And I worry we got lucky with sleep with B - he kind of fell into STTN, we never had to Ferber or "train" him. I don't want to deal with a "bad" sleeper.

1. TTC #2, Cycle 7, CD 25 - unknown DPO, didn't use opk's this month
2. Started yesterday - negative, negative. Period due Monday or Tuesday.
3. I am just feeling down. I should be excited for my iui cycle next month but it is just so much pressure since we are paying for it now. So much more of a let down if it doesn't work.
4. I am looking forward to baby snuggles and seeing DS with a sibling. Least: money!!
1. Where are you in your TTC journey? (TTC #, cycle, CD/DPO, etc.) TTC#2, FET attempt #2, 1dp5dt
2. Testing this week? No. Beta will be in 11 days
3. Any thoughts/feelings to share about TTC? Bedrest kind of sucks. My back is killing me and I'm bored. One more day!
4. What are you looking forward to most about having a baby? Least? (for this question, let's skip lack of sleep as the default answer I really enjoy the snuggles and nursing and having a baby fall asleep on me. I am also really looking forward to seeing DD with a sibling. Really hoping our next one doesn't have colic too
3. They day I got my period, I ordered digital OPKs, preseed, and a basal thermometer. LET'S DO THIS!
4. I'm not looking forward to anything about having a baby. Nothing. Babies are not my thing. I'm looking forward to pregnancy and the first year being completely over so I can start our "real" life. lol
You should start at day 10 since you might O early. I ovulate day 11/12 - you don't want to miss it
3. I had a bunch of EWCM yesterday, but instead of getting it on, I was taking DH to the ER. Maybe tonight? We haven't had much sex at all this cycle, but maybe that is a good thing cause the last 2 months really burned us both out.
4. i'm looking forward to breastfeeding and maternity leave. Not looking forward to juggling two nap schedules that don't overlap.

1. TTC #2, cycle #1, CD 8 according to FF so I guess starting Sunday we better get busy! 2. nope see above 3. I have too high of expectations and I need to lower them. We waited to get pregnant until my short term disability kicked in and we got pregnant first cycle last time. It would be absolutely ideal if it would happen again that way, but I know that is a very slim chance. 4. I sometimes worry that DH isn't as excited about wanting another baby like I am. He will say that its up to me if we decided to have a second child and I really feel our life isn't complete without another sibling for my daughter, etc. Blargh this is my self-projecting my own doubts and concerns about the costs of a second child.
1. Where are you in your TTC journey? TTC #2, Cycle #1, CD 24, 9 DPO?
2. Testing this week? Did this morning, definitely negative. I figured it was probably too early but figured, why not? Gonna try and hold out til Sunday to test again. With DD I didn't get a + until the day before my period was due.
3. Any thoughts/feelings to share about TTC? I'm feeling pretty "meh" about this month, and trying to keep my expectations low. I keep saying I won't be disappointed if it doesn't work this month, but I probably will be.
4. What are you looking forward to most about having a baby? Least? I loved being pregnant, and hopefully will have an easy pregnancy next time too. I am looking forward to baby snuggles, but not looking forward to chasing around a toddler with a newborn. Last time was so nice, we'd lounge in bed all day and nurse/nap on and off. Not happening next time.
3. I suppose if this cycle doesn't work out, I'll start OPKs and/or temping. I'm extremely lazy and thought I could get away without doing those things... guess not.
4. Seeing DD be a big sister, holding a tiny, soft, nice smelling bundle of love. I'm romanticizing this so I don't lose motivation.
Just met a friend for lunch with a DD a month younger than my B. She shared she's pregnant, due in April - did my best to be so excited and happy for her and to not look crushed when she asked if we were thinking about having another soon.

1. TTC #2, Cycle 4, CD 21, DPO who the hell knows
2. No testing until next week, just symptom-obsessing for now
3. Had my hair cut today. My stylist is pregnant with twins :-O And it wasn't planned, so she's a little freaked out. I can't imagine getting that kind of news when it was unexpected to start with!
4. Most looking forward to seeing DS with a little sibling. I love seeing him interact with his little cousins now. Definitely dreading the crying and lack of communication. I'm getting used to, and liking, the fact that I get SOME answers on what he wants or what his problem is now! It may not be clear, but I do get "yesses" and "nos" and I love it.
