Age of LO(s): 22.5 months (2 next month!!)

Cycle/Month: Month 10

CD/DPO: CD 26/ DPO 9

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: My chart looks off and FF tried to put my O date on CD 13 until I discarded some temps that I know where off b/c LO wasn't sleeping. Based on other signs that I did not input, I am pretty sure my O date is more accurate where it is. I still saying it is a conspiracy by LO in TTCAS.

GTKY: Where do you see yourself in 5 years? (this is the thrilling sequel to last week's five years ago GTKY ) I really see myself pretty similarly to where I am now although we hope to be in our final house by then. We have reached the place and jobs where we want to settle and just need that final step to be done.

GTKY: Where do you see yourself in 5 years? (this is the thrilling sequel to last week's five years ago GTKY ) I would like to have 1-2 more kids of my own, and then maybe foster-to-adopt 1-2 kids. DH and I will be gearing up to either a) put an addition on the back of our current house or b) shop for a bigger house. I love LOVE our neighbors, but I also love kids and it's going to get really tight in here!!

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks:Second dip below coverline, hoping it's nothing bad and I'm not out for the month

GTKY: Where do you see yourself in 5 years? (this is the thrilling sequel to last week's five years ago GTKY ) Hopefully with at least another kid, further along or done with house stuff (just things we want to change, nothing that HAS to be changed) I guess that's it.

[Sparkly]

Age of LO(s):  almost 16 months!

Cycle/Month:   3/3 + a couple months WTO while BFing

CD/DPO:   CD13

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks:   A lot of pregnancy #2+ announcements have been getting to me lately. also U/S pics, birth announcements, all of the above... it's ALL that's ever on my FB newsfeed.  Especially those people I know who have BF and gotten KU 1st or 2nd PP cycle or while still BFing or after having IUDs out...immediately KU.... I keep telling myself their fertility has nothing to do with mine, there's nothing wrong, my body just needs a little more time, and LOTS of others are in the same boat still waiting and trying like us... but I would be lying if I said it wasn't hard or there wasn't some envy and frustration. MH & I were talking, once again, this weekend, and he kept going on about how much he wants another. It makes me happy because I do too, but it also makes me sad because it's not happening for us yet and all these people around us it is.

GTKY: Where do you see yourself in 5 years? For personal life, I would like to have all our debt (besides house/car payments and maybe some of H's student loans) paid off, renovations done on current house and possibly have sold it, moved to our bigger/forever home, and 2 more babies by then, in a perfect world. As far as work/career, I'd like to see my five year plan for the store in effect and working. To be growing by 10% each year, eliminating old stock and debt on a regular basis, and increasing profit margins in certain categories. I also hope to have a strong team (hopefully most or all of the current staff) in place, well-trained, and helping to evolve, grow, reach more customers, etc.

TL;DR: I basically see myself in the same place I am now, just more dreams/goals having come to fruition.

[EatsRitz]

Age of LO(s): 3.5 years and 16 months

Cycle/Month: 6/7

CD/DPO: 15

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: my body is taking a while to O this cycle. Boo.

GTKY: Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Third and final kid will hopefully be preschool age. I want to move away from where we're living now to our permanent home. I hope DH is on his way to owning his own practice.

[icequeen]

housecarder, FX so hard for you! It's my first time, too. I am so hopeful for both of us.
@kellbell, you've got such a spread there, I am jealous!
valie, how much longer do you have left of your PhD? What are your plans for after?
becwheat, I hope the timing works out in your favor!
Sparkly, I am going through the same things mainly on facebook. So many of my friends that already have one child are getting pregnant right now or are just becoming pregnant for the first time. One had her baby around the same time as me and is almost due again. I definitely stay off of there and only check it if I have notifications or want to post something. It's just too sad and triggering for me. So many hugs. You are doing everything you can at the moment.

(ETA)

Age of LO(s): 17 mos

Cycle/Month: 9/8

CD/DPO: CD 12

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: First time with the IUI and injects so I'm a little apprehensive but overall positive. I just want to know what's going on at my monitoring appointment tomorrow.

GTKY: Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Hopefully a few more children and 1 adopted child. I will still be a SAHM and DH will be firmly established in his government position. We will not be living in Louisiana anymore and we will also have a doggie

I think that I likely have a year and half to two years to go. I'm not sure what I want to do after. I thought I might stay in academia, but I understand it becomes primarily writing and supervising/teaching with little time for your own research and I don't know if that will suit me. I do enjoy working in industry which is why I started graduate school in the first place. Right now I think I'll go there. We'll see.

What inspired you to consider adopting?

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: just waiting to O

GTKY: Where do you see yourself in 5 years? (this is the thrilling sequel to last week's five years ago GTKY )
I'd like to have 1-2 more kids by then. The rest of life will be pretty similar I think.

CD/DPO: 19
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: man I have a long fucking normal cycle. I knew it was on the longer end of "average" but damn. Now that I'm charting it's very apparent. This is just my sticker shock type feels at the moment. No complaints really.
GTKY: Where do you see yourself in 5 years? (this is the thrilling sequel to last week's five years ago GTKY ) oh snap. Hmm. I'll hopefully have 2 kids with a 3rd coming up. A backyard I don't loath. No more renovation debt. No more school debt. That will also be more than half of my life spent with my husband. I'll likely be doing the same thing for work.

[mrssims8212]

Age of LO(s): 2.5

Cycle/Month: 13/13

CD/DPO: 26/?

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I started taking B vitamins this month and I have definitely noticed a decrease in my spotting. I almost always start spotting by CD 24 and now by CD 26 I still hardly have any. I also know I'm most likely not pregnant because I got a BFN yesterday on a Walmart cheapie.

GTKY: Where do you see yourself in 5 years? (this is the thrilling sequel to last week's five years ago GTKY ) I will hopefully have two more babies, a job that I love, and a beautiful house! I like looking to the future like this because I truly believe that if I work hard enough that I can make these things happen.

[fozziebear]

Age of LO(s):

Cycle/Month: -1

CD/DPO: CD 22

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I finally bought PNVs yesterday and I'd forgotten what horsepills they are!

GTKY: Where do you see yourself in 5 years? (this is the thrilling sequel to last week's five years ago GTKY )
I'll have two middle schoolers (eek!) and hopefully a preschooler. We're working on prepping our current house to sell, so I really hope we're in our forever home by then. We want a bigger house on some land further out from the city we live near. Career-wise, I'm a substitute teacher right now and I'll go back to SAH once we have another baby. I hope to start thinking about something more permanent down the road.

[fozziebear]

I think I LTed everyone's post because I enjoyed reading where you think you'll be in 5 years.

[thelittleredm]

Age of LO: 21 months in a week O.O Time flies.

Cycle/Month: 2/3

CD/DPO: CD 28

RRCS: Allergies suck. My nose has been running all day.

GTKY: Hopefully with two LOs and one on the way or better yet, all three out and considering a fourth. Definitely in our first home, though, and hopefully finishing off my student loans! I'd love to be somewhere financially that we will be able to lease a horse again.

[Sammich_Cat]

Age of LO: Almost 16 months

Cycle/Month: 5

CD/DPO: 33/8

RRCS: Sad and short tempered today. Want all the hugs.

GTKY: I would like to have four children by then and for DH to find a career he wants(he's in grad school now). I'd also like to have moved back home and be living in our own house!

Looking forward to taking my son with me to various physical activities like starting martial arts and ice hockey. There's so much I simply can't do right now since he's so young, but I certainly wouldn't be going bike riding several times a week without him so there's that!

valie What are you getting your degree in? I ask because my H is getting his in Biology/Genetics and is looking into career options and I was wondering what working in industry entailed.

My degree is in engineering. My favourite industry experience has been doing R&D as a mechanical engineer; problem solving, designing, prototyping, testing, that kind of thing.
