Re: ***TFAS Check In***
Age of LO(s): almost 23 months. Will be 2 at the end of next month!
How long have you been trying for a sibling? Since April. So 4 months/3 cycles.
Rants/raves/chart stalks: nope. Temping is proving difficult this cycle since I haven't been sleeping well.
GTKY: If you could pack up right now and move anywhere and take your loved ones where would you go? Or would you stay? I would move some place warm and sunny with a beach. I live in STL now. It's pretty boring.
First month trying
Rant: no sex yesterday during prime time baby making time because DH is sick.
I just moved here (NH) & love it. This is where I want to be!

How long trying: this is our first cycle trying. We are "attempting" to shoot for a spring baby as I have off work in the summers. If we don't conceive in the next few cycles we will go back on the bench until next summer. Hoping we get lucky!
Rants/Raves- Just entering the TWW (based on O strips, not temping). I've forgotten how annoying the TWW is!
GTKY- I really like where we live except from Dec-March (too much snow). Ideally I'd like for my family to be snow birds and live in Florida for a few months a year. Not really a chance of that until retirement...jobs and school get in they way of everything fun! Haha!

How long have you been trying for a sibling? 3rd cycle
Rants/raves/chart stalks: It took 3 cycles with DD, hopefully the same this time around. FX!
GTKY: If you could pack up right now and move anywhere and take your loved ones where would you go? Or would you stay? I really like where we live, but if I was going to move it would be closer to the beach.
How long have you been trying for a sibling? This is our first cycle
Rants/raves/chart stalks: started testing today. I'm only 9 DPO, so nothing yet but I'm not getting my hopes up yet. I've had a lot of weird symptoms this cycle.
GTKY: If you could pack up right now and move anywhere and take your loved ones where would you go? Or would you stay? I'd stay, because I like to be near my family. But if it wasn't for that I'd move anywhere warmer than here. If there was no such thing as winter I'd be happy.
Ages of lo: dd 3 and dd 5
How long have you been trying: just entered 2nd cycle/month today
Rants/raves/chart stalks: today is cd day 1.
If i could pack up and move where would you go? : Both dh and I want to move for a few yrs to alaska. In reality there is the potential it could happen, but it will prob be houston instead
DD#1 born June '09
DD#2 born April '11
TTC #3 as of July '14
How long have you been trying for a sibling? This will be cycle 4 after an early M/C at 4.5 weeks in March
Rants/raves/chart stalks: Right now I am at 7dpo and I feel like AF is going to be here any second, yuck! MH travels for work so we have not even really had a good chance with timing the past few cycles. I am temping now and hoping my cycles will get back on track so we can start having him take the right days off to be home during my FW. We will see!
GTKY: If you could pack up right now and move anywhere and take your loved ones where would you go? Or would you stay? We would move to a house in the country in the same area we are in. MH has a big family and they are all very close around here.

How long have you been trying for a sibling? 3/4
Rants/raves/chart stalks: not really, sad by reality perhaps, was hoping for a bd bfp... holding on to hope until af (Thursday)
GTKY: If you could pack up right now and move anywhere and take your loved ones where would you go? Or would you stay? I wouldn't want to move bc my family is all in Georgia or Alabama, but I would love a 2nd home on a beach, any beach would do but Destin, FL is top pick!
How long have you been trying for a sibling? On the second cycle.
Rants/raves/chart stalks: DH/lack of time to get crap done is driving me nuts.
GTKY: If you could pack up right now and move anywhere and take your loved ones where would you go? Or would you stay? Closer to family. Oregon, preferably, but DH's job doesn't exist there.

How long have you been trying for a sibling? 3 months
Rants/raves/chart stalks: Crampy yesterday, so DH asked if it was implantation. Which is cute, but I had to remind him implantation would be a little early at 3DPO.
GTKY: If you could pack up right now and move anywhere and take your loved ones where would you go? Or would you stay? I'd love to go back to the East Coast. I miss it terribly.
How long have you been trying for a sibling? This is our first cycle of trying. I am in the TWW.
Rants/raves/chart stalks: Just enjoying getting back at it with DH.
GTKY: If you could pack up right now and move anywhere and take your loved ones where would you go? Or would you stay? I would move pretty much anywhere. I am not in LOVE with where we live. I would love to be on the East Coast again. I loved VA and would move there in a heartbeat! But I would take pretty much anywhere on the east coast.

"It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness." - Eleanor Roosevelt
How long have you been trying for a sibling? 6 cycles since I had a m/c
Rants/raves/chart stalks: On CD3 today so not much going on.
GTKY: If you could pack up right now and move anywhere and take your loved ones where would you go? Or would you stay? I would stay. Born and raised here and both families are here. Maybe move a little farther out.
How long have you been trying for a sibling? This will be cycle #4
Rants/raves/chart stalks: CD2... yeah
GTKY: That's tough. If I had a choice I would like to be closer to the beach. If I couldn't get that I would stay right here... I love it here
What Are Your Thoughts on Tap Dancing Penguins?
How long have you been trying for a sibling? This is our 5th cycle. It was so much easier the first time around!
Rants/raves/chart stalks: This is my first month charting. I'm trying to get the hang of it. I'm also trying not to focus on the fact that I wont be able to have 2u2.
GTKY: If you could pack up right now and move anywhere and take your loved ones where would you go? Or would you stay? I think I would love to live in TN. It's so beautiful there! But all in all, we love Texas, and will likely be here forever.
How long have you been trying for a sibling? Since March
Rants/raves/chart stalks: We said we would give it 3 cycles before charting/OPK's, so this is the last cycle before we get into that. Looking over the calendar...we're moving right when my FW should be. So...it shall be fun christening the new apartment!
GTKY: If you could pack up right now and move anywhere and take your loved ones where would you go? Or would you stay? I would stay, as right now I think there is so much of the world that I want to see eventually that I couldn't pick just one place. If I were brave enough, I'd sign up to telecommute at work, sell much of our possessions and buy an RV and start seeing the country. But, definitely too chicken for that!
