I saw we had a February check in, but not a March so I thought I would make one!

Re: *March check in*
Just wanted to check in and see how the wait goes this month!
1. How many months until you TTC, if you have a timeline set? We start in July! So about 3 months!
2. What's holding you back? I'm in school so a summer baby would be best, also DH was laid off in February and starts an 11 months diesel mechanic program in July. I want to time the baby to when he graduates. We can always use more time to save too!
3. How are you feeling about waiting? Eh. I'm pretty okay. I have a massive pinterest board for when I start to feel impatient. I'm a planner so I am planning all the details as we go.
4. GTKY: What is your dream vacation? Disney World. I want to spend two weeks roaming around Disney with my family. I'm a Disney junkie :

1. How many months until you TTC, if you have a timeline set?
I go for my annual in 5 weeks and I'm having my IUD removed then.
2. What's holding you back?
Really just that I still have my IUD and figured it makes sense to just have it removed when I'm there for my annual appointment.
3. How are you feeling about waiting?
Well, H and I have always been unsure about kids. We're going on 3 years of marriage and 9 years together and it wasn't until fairly recently that we started talking about the possibility. I began leaning more towards the yes side than the no side and that's when I brought it up to him and after many discussions, we decided that I'll have my IUD removed and we'll just continue living life like normal and if I get pregnant then YAY! Right now I feel pretty anxious and impatient with a little nervous thrown in because it took us so long to come to this decision and now we have to wait! And it feels so weird to think that I won't be on any birth control after being on it for 15 years.
4. GTKY: What is your dream vacation?
Alaska and Ireland are topping my list right now!
Me & DH: 31 | Married: 5.4.13 | TTC: April 2016 | BFP: 1.8.17 | EDD: 9.13.17
1. How many months until you TTC, if you have a timeline set? 1.5 to 2 months.
2. What's holding you back? I just went off BCP about 3 weeks ago, my OB said to wait until after I get AF, but I'm also waiting for STD coverage to kick in at work after May 1st.
3. How are you feeling about waiting? I'm feeling ok, a little nervous and anxious. I starting temping this cycle to get the hang of it, so that's been an adventure.
4. GTKY: What is your dream vacation? A long trip to Europe with stops in Germany, Czech, Ireland, Italy, Austria, etc etc or maybe somewhere tropical with white sandy beaches.
Hi ladies!
1. How many months until you TTC, if you have a timeline set? Nothing is set in stone. I work for a school district, so a summer baby would be amazing.
2. What's holding you back? DH has applied for a new job, with better pay and insurance, so we're kind of waiting to see how that goes. Plus, if he gets it there's a possibility we could be moving, so there would be that hassle to deal with as well.
3. How are you feeling about waiting? I'm DYING!!! I would be pregnant right now if I could. We have a LO who will be 2 in November, so I just don't want to wait TOO long to have a second. I want them to be pretty close in age.
4. GTKY: What is your dream vacation? Any vacation at this point would be a dream
TTC: 3/23/2013, BFP: 2/28/2014, EDD: 11/6/2014, ADD: 11/7/2014
TTC: 2/1/2016, BFP: 3/4/2017, EDD: 11/11/2017, No HB @ 8 weeks, MC: 4/8/2017
TTC: 5/24/2017, BFP: 4/14/2018, EDD: 12/22/2018
1. How many months until you TTC, if you have a timeline set? 5-7 months. Most likely around October but hopefully earlier
2: DH and i want to pay off a bit more debt, like my soon to be done car payment! So excited to be done with that haha
3. I feel all the emotions! Excited! Anxious! Terrified! Impatient!
4. I havent been on vacay in sooo long but the mountains or the beach sound glorious to me. Just some time to relax and explore.
1. We are starting in June..so about three more months.
2. When we started talking about TTC we agreed on a June start. Just trying to save up as much as we can and pay down my student loans as much as possible.
3. Lately I am feeling sooo impatient. I've asked DH if we could move the timeline up but he has June stuck in his head. I am a big planner so I have been reading, reading, reading. I just checked out, "Good Dog, Happy Baby" from the library. I hope to learn some ways to tame our wild lion.
4. Dream vacation would be Italy. Wine + pasta = heaven.
1. How many months until you TTC, if you have a timeline set?
-Just under 10 months!
2. What's holding you back?
-Mostly me finishing my masters degree (May 2017) and settling into my job more. I want to be in my final semester when we TTC and have at least two years in my position by the time a baby is born.
3. How are you feeling about waiting?
-Good about the timelime but still bummed because all of our friends are now pregnant or recently had babies. I feel ready emotionally, but know it's best for us to wait.
4. GTKY: What is your dream vacation?
-We went on our dream vacation this past December. We spent 19 days in Europe visiting London, Paris, Zurich, Venice, Rome and Barcelona. Would love to do it again though.
2. What's holding you back? We were very tempted to move our date up, but then DH just accepted a new job. He has to be there for one year before he qualifies for paid paternity leave, so we decided to just stick with our original date. If we get pregnant quickly then he will have been there a year by the time baby might be due.
We have also been very good about sticking to our debt reduction plan, and we want to have all credit cards gone by the time we TTC. We are set to have them gone in September.
3. How are you feeling about waiting? It changes from week to week! Some days I'm in tears just thinking about having to wait another 5 months to even start trying, other days it doesn't cross my mind. I've been really busy at work lately so that has helped keep my mind off it. I've been lurking and reading a few books to get prepared, but I think that brings on the crazy so I've cut back on the bump recently.
4. GTKY: What is your dream vacation? I would love to go to India.
Probably will start at the end of the year.
2. What's holding you back?
I'm still working through postpartum anxiety from having baby #1 last year. I have been doing a lot better but have a little ways to go before we are comfortable getting pregnant again. That and we would like a little more time getting finances in order and time enjoying our son before adding in baby #2.
3. How are you feeling about waiting?
Well I have baby fever pretty bad, but I'm ok. Part of me wants to try now but I know waiting is the best for us at this time.
4. GTKY: What is your dream vacation?
I would love to go to Tahiti!
1. How long until TTC?
Starting sometime after next month. Maybe.
2. What's holding you back?
I'm so conflicted. I had my first back in August, and I really want my children close in age. But, I don't know if I'm ready. Some days I'm all, "Hell yeah!" And others, I'm rocking L back to sleep at 1 or 4am and worrying about the 1 on 1 time I have with her now and that I'll be losing it.
3. How're you feeling about waiting?
Pretty much same as #2
GTKY: What's your dream vacation?
I'd like to see the Serengeti.
Me: 25 | DH: 25
DD: Aug. 15
1. How many months until you TTC, if you have a timeline set?
End of June/July, so about 3 more months.
2. What's holding you back?
Deployment.
3. How are you feeling about waiting?
I was feeling good and impatient, but now I'm freaking out about finances since I was unexpectedly furloughed from my job with no end date and now have to find another job. I'm convinced things will never be perfect for having a baby and we both feel beyond ready, so I am just focusing on finding another job before DH makes it home.
4. GTKY: What is your dream vacation?
Ireland, Scotland, Italy, New Zealand!
1. How many months until you TTC, if you have a timeline set?
Officially 3 months and change.
2. What's holding you back?
We've begun the NTNP, otherwise just the agreed upon date is 'holding us back'.
3. How are you feeling about waiting?
I was anxious and excited - like a kid waiting for Christmas. I'm trying to focus on other things, which is helping take the edge off.
4. GTKY: What is your dream vacation?
Ireland for 2 weeks. This fall we're doing the next best thing - 5 days in Disney, a couple days in West Palm Beach with friends.
Punk's birthday: 3-28-17
1. How many months until you TTC, if you have a timeline set? Starting end of August/beg of Sept! Finally feeling closer!
2. What's holding you back? I graduate from grad school May 2017, so I desperately want to be finished with school before LO comes.
3. How are you feeling about waiting? Desperate! My HS best friend had her first in Dec, and my college best friend is due in the summer!
4. GTKY: What is your dream vacation? So many places on my list: Basically anywhere in Europe, Australia, anywhere with a beach.
1. How many months until you TTC, if you have a timeline set? officially march 2017, clearing my system starting this summer/fall
2. What's holding you back? just bought a house, and still getting situated
3. How are you feeling about waiting? antsy now that BFF just announced her pregnancy
4. GTKY: What is your dream vacation? new zealand, australia, any exotic island
We were waiting for me to feel a little better. I have had numerous back issues and stomach disorders getting in the way but we have been putting this off for over a year and I'm not getting any younger so just gonna say my prayers and hope for healthy baby healthy pregnancy.
I feel excited, but nervous about the discomfort that my stomach disorders will cause.
Just got back from a vacation in Orlando. Any place tropical is my dream vacation vacation. I love the Bahamas.
This should just be a March/April check-in.
1. How many months until you TTC, if you have a timeline set?
We've extended it to another two years. So, not until closer to February or so of 2018. =/
2. What's holding you back?
College. We were initially planning to TTC again this August to get a summer baby when I'm not in class, but, after talking, hubby expressed that he would feel more comfortable if we kept TTA until I was closer to graduation.
3. How are you feeling about waiting?
It sucks, for sure. I just want to start expanding our family, but, I understand why he feels more comfortable waiting and I'm done trying to pressure him - it's just not worth the extra stress and arguments.
4. GTKY: What is your dream vacation?
Traveling to and around Alaska. I love Alaska, hubby loves Alaska, we both want to go there some day. We just need to save up money and plan a trip!

PG #2, EDD 10/12/2023
1. How many months until you TTC, if you have a timeline set?
I'll stop the pill in about 7 weeks
2. What's holding you back?
The Zika virus, unfortunately. I've been searching the boards and didn't see any posts about this (I was surprised but maybe I shouldn't be) but we just got back from Aruba, and despite diligent use of bug spray, we both got bitten several times. The CDC recommends waiting 8 weeks if no symptoms appear, so here we are.
3. How are you feeling about waiting?
I'm bummed because we would have already started earlier this year if it weren't for this trip. I was stupidly hoping that the bug spray would work and we'd return bite-free and not have to wait any longer. But here we are.
4. GTKY: What is your dream vacation?
Bali for sure. The pictures just make it seem magical.
1. How many months until you TTC, if you have a timeline set? ONE MONTH!
2. What's holding you back? I'm donating eggs this month and my surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning. After that, we're trying for our own! We were going to begin in February, but I received the news that a couple wanted my eggs, so we put it off.
3. How are you feeling about waiting? As of tomorrow I will have donated twice, and we're finally at a good place where we both feel ready to begin TTC. I can't wait to finally begin the process of TTC for ourselves
4. GTKY: What is your dream vacation? A month trip across Europe with all good weather! (you said Dream vacation...)
