Are you TTC or TTA? TTA
For how long (TCC)?---
Till when (TTA)?July 2016 we start actively TTC, We may NTNP in June 2016 though.
What's frustrating you? I've hit that point where I want to be pregnant, but I know this is awful timing. I really want to NTNP in January, but hubs is not on board.
Also I'm frustrated with school. I just want it to be over with, but I have another 2 1/2 years. I'm just gonna keep telling myself it will be worth it in the end.
What are you thankful for? My sweet family. In general they keep my outlook positive and remind me why I fight so hard everyday to be a full time employee, mom, wife, and student.
GTKY: What is your favorite Disney/Pixar movie? I'm a bit of a Disney addict (as soon as I figure out how to add a gif to my signature there will be Disney gifs galore). This is a hard one for me. I love Frozen, UP, Lion King, and Pocahontas. My all time favorite is Aladdin though.
Second GTKY: In honor of Halloween, what are you dressing up as? Not dressing up this year. DS is going as spider man (because all things in my life are spider man right now).

For how long (TCC)? 1 cycle.. I'm in my TWW
Till when (TTA)? n/a
What's frustrating you? I'm frustrated with how long ttc can feel.. you're waiting to try, waiting to Ovulate.. waiting to test and then waiting for AF to leave... its alot of waiting. As someone who used to be a military wife... it feels like a deployment with all the excitement/waiting. Sidenote: I am having a hard time thinking of anything else and work is slow right now. Also, for some reason anytime I go to TTGP board I get into an argument with someone... contemplating giving up "the bump"... which would make work so much more boring.
What are you thankful for? my health, my DH's new job.. the holidays coming! There are many things to be thankful for. Right now I'm thankful we aren't avoiding anymore.
GTKY: What is your favorite Disney/Pixar movie? dk, the classics.. right now Aladdin comes to mind.
Second GTKY: In honor of Halloween, what are you dressing up as?a sexy mysterious woman with a reattached head... so really I'm a cranky bitch bec I had to sew my head back on...

Are you TTC or TTA? TTA
For how long (TCC)? --
Till when (TTA)? No idea. We're focusing on buying a house now and will discuss after that. Probably six months or so.
What's frustrating you? Waiting for HR to get back to me on the job I interviewed for last week. The interviewer said she wants me to do a phone interview with another person and that HR will contact me to set it up. They have a really tight timeline on when they want to hire, so I hope they aren't just blowing me off.
What are you thankful for? We're out of debt! Student loans paid off and now working on a down payment!
GTKY: What is your favorite Disney/Pixar movie? Beauty & the Beast
Second GTKY: In honor of Halloween, what are you dressing up as? Nothing

Are you TTC or TTA? TTC
For how long (TCC)? Went off BCP 1 month ago, so 1 month
BUT this will be my first cycle as I just got AF for the first time since going off BCP today
Till when (TTA)?
What's frustrating you? That I'm JUST not getting my period and I have no idea if I've ovulated in the last month! Excited to have a true cycle now (hopefully)
What are you thankful for? My amazing husband and family
they are always supportive in whatever is going on in my life. Theyre just the best
GTKY: What is your favorite Disney/Pixar movie? I'm going to agree and Say Aladin and the Lion King
Second GTKY: In honor of Halloween, what are you dressing up as? I'm going to be the Tooth Fairy and my DH will be a tooth
I work in dentistry so it makes sense!
Are you TTC or TTA? Apparently TTA - thought we were NTNP but last night DH threw me for a loop. Will definitely have a chat about that... On the other hand, I think I may of O'd yesterday (waiting for confirmation) so there could still be a chance. But we will see.
For how long (TCC)?
Till when (TTA)? Ugh, who knows?! Definitely bringing this up tonight.
What's frustrating you? DH! He's so confusing.
What are you thankful for? The holidays. They are on their way!
GTKY: What is your favorite Disney/Pixar movie? Oh man, we have so many. I gotta say, I really like Frozen, but growing up it was always Aladdin.
Second GTKY: In honor of Halloween, what are you dressing up as? I don't even know. I haven't thought about it for the first time in ever. I still don't even know what we are doing. Sigh.
Are you TTC or TTA?/For how long (TCC)? TTC, on our second cycle (since Sept 2015)
What's frustrating you? Ovulation! I just finally had a temp spike after a not very significant dip on CD 28. Last month I ovulated on CD 24, but at least had a normal range LP (11 days). I'm worried about my cycles getting longer and/or ovulation getting later but cycles staying normal thus causing a short LP. All of this is normal, I know. Probably all illegitimate worries but, whatever, that's what's frustrating me atm!
What are you thankful for? My incredible husband and our great friends and family (today and every day, really).
GTKY: What is your favorite Disney/Pixar movie? Toy Story for sure!
Second GTKY: In honor of Halloween, what are you dressing up as? Undecided still (need to get on that).
Till when (TTA)? Sigh-not sure. Hopefully well be ttc by this time next year.
What's frustrating you? Money/debt. Cant get a promotion. Wish we were tcc at the start of the year like previously planned.
What are you thankful for? So much! Reallly trying to cultivate gratitude even when im cranky or frustrated. My husband, my sweet fur baby, the fact we have a home and steady jobs.
GTKY: What is your favorite Disney/Pixar movie? Aladdin or cinderella.
Second GTKY: In honor of Halloween, what are you dressing up as? Nothing this year. Im boring lol
Are you TTC or TTA? TTA
Till when (TTA)? Undecided. Maybe until next October or possibly until Jan/Feb. 2017
What's frustrating you? Trying to raise $500,000 for my job. Fundraising is hard work and very unpredictable.
What are you thankful for? My health, my husband, my pups (even though they drive me nuts), our jobs and our lives in general.
GTKY: What is your favorite Disney/Pixar movie? Toy Story (all of them)!
Second GTKY: In honor of Halloween, what are you dressing up as? Nothing. We do not really participate. We don't even pass out candy, but that's because our dogs lose their minds when someone knocks/ring the door bell.
Are you TTC or TTA? TTC
For how long (TCC)? I'm in TWW of my third cycle, but going to start cycle 4 anyway now. FF says Thursday.
What's frustrating you? not a whole lot. I wish I would get pregnant already. I started my job in June and it has STD and such so I'm going to stay until after I have a baby, unless something awesome comes up. The job isn't bad, it's just not what I"m passionate about. I want to go back to working in mental health.
What are you thankful for? Job security! My friends and family.
GTKY: What is your favorite Disney/Pixar movie? Beauty and the Beast, but Monster's Inc. is a close second.
Second GTKY: In honor of Halloween, what are you dressing up as? nothing really. It's ULL homecoming, so I'll be in red and enjoying the homecoming festivities.

re you TTC or TTA? TTA
For how long (TCC)?
Till when (TTA)? November!!
What's frustrating you? Work is being silly this week. I can't seem to get anything done, and I got told off for putting too many water bottles in the fridge. The water isn't even for me, it's for clients, and there was still plenty of space in there, and it isn't even part of my job to stock the fridge i was JUST TRYING TO BE HELPFUL!
What are you thankful for? The season - I'm totally obsessed with fall!
GTKY: What is your favorite Disney/Pixar movie? The little mermaid :-)
Second GTKY: In honor of Halloween, what are you dressing up as? I'm with @Xstatic3333 - no idea!

What's frustrating you? Money.
What are you thankful for? My family and the upcoming holidays. My favorite time of the year!
GTKY: What is your favorite Disney/Pixar movie? This is a tough one. I'd say it's a toss up between Lion King and Toy Story.
Second GTKY: In honor of Halloween, what are you dressing up as? I'm not dressing up but my kids are going as Minnie Mouse and Jake (and the Neverland Pirates).
Are you TTC or TTA? TTA
Till when (TTA)? Start TTC in december, can't wait lol
What's frustrating you? When you put a lot of work into something and people only have negative comments
What are you thankful for? Similar to @Pupatella but we're getting married in December. My friends and family are super excited now the day is getting closer. They sound even more excited then my SO and I (probably because we know more about the details then them).
GTKY: What is your favorite Disney/Pixar movie? I always liked Robin Hood
Second GTKY: In honor of Halloween, what are you dressing up as? We don't celebrate halloween here. But with carnaval this year I dressed up as an femal russian cossack

My Ovulation Chart
For how long (TCC)?
Till when (TTA)? January/February
What's frustrating you? Waiting on a phone call from a company to interview my husband in the 1st week of December. Seems so far away!

GTKY: What is your favorite Disney/Pixar movie? The Croods
Second GTKY: In honor of Halloween, what are you dressing up as? Going as Donatello for my son's party tomorrow
For how long (TCC)?
Till when (TTA)? Probably late spring/early summer.
What's frustrating you? I get easily annoyed by how much of the TTC/pregnancy/birth process can't be accurately planned, and I'm not even trying yet!
What are you thankful for? DH and I did a lot of hustling and working like mad in our early/mid 20s so that we could both be stay at home parents by the time we had kids. It was a lot of long, very hard years but I'm glad that we stuck with it.
GTKY: What is your favorite Disney/Pixar movie? If I'm being really honest I can't even remember the last time I saw an animated movie! As a kid I loved Aladdin.
Second GTKY: In honor of Halloween, what are you dressing up as? I LOVEEE Halloween! It's the only holiday we really celebrate. DH and I are dressing up as werewolves this year. We go pretty over the top. I literally have faux dog hair eyebrow extensions hanging out in my makeup kit right now.
Are you TTC or TTA? TTA....for now.
For how long (TCC)?
Till when (TTA)? Roughly June 2016 (whenever he gets back from deployment)
What's frustrating you? I don't even know where to begin.....DH just left for 3 weeks. My 8 month old puppy is scheduled for ligament surgery on Monday, but now we have to rule out kidney disease (due to some elevated levels from her blood work) before anything happens. I got x-rays of my spine and it turns out I have several issues that are going to cause complications. My graduate classes are kicking my a** and I have a large project due on Friday that I haven't even started because I am so stressed that I can't get my mind to focus. My full time job isn't helping with that either. Hence why I'm here, whining.
What are you thankful for? That DH had made the majority of his travels safely so far. And that I have my puppy to keep me company this time.
GTKY: What is your favorite Disney/Pixar movie? Brave!
Second GTKY: In honor of Halloween, what are you dressing up as? Not much of anything actually, I have too many other things going on. Today, however, my coworker did rope me into doing a group costume with her for our office's costume contest tomorrow though. We're going as equipment that we use for sampling all the time....sounds weird, but it'll be awesome, I swear.
Are you TTC or TTA? TTC
For how long (TCC)? this is my first one

Second GTKY: In honor of Halloween, what are you dressing up as? I'm not dressing up but ds is. We are going tonight to let him pick out a costume...nothing like waiting until last minute right?

Work is insanely busy, which is frustrating. I would just love to have a day or week where it feels like I've accomplished something instead of just spinning my wheels.
The Royals are in the World Series, which is exciting! I'm not a super fan, but it's really cool to experience the buzz and togetherness that's running throughout KC.
Mary Poppins.
I hate adult Halloween, but I'm going to a party on Friday dressed as a "smart ass."

TTA. Although if our BC failed, I wouldn't be sad. I got baby fever!!
Till when (TTA)?
Hopefully not too much longer! H's ideal time to get pregnant is in early summer (to avoid having a baby during hunting season). I'm not so picky. So we were sort of planning for early summer, although I wouldn't mind sooner. We've been saving money, but recently had a sitatution that really set us back, so we'll see. Probably not sooner than summer.
What's frustrating you?
Not much at the moment.
What are you thankful for?
Safety, a good job, and the upcoming holidays!
GTKY: What is your favorite Disney/Pixar movie?
Probably Planes. Or Frozen was pretty cute.

Nothing. We don't celebrate Halloween.
