Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Just hoping my temp stays up and my spotting stops.
GTKY: What summer activities do you have planned with your kid(s)? We're going to get a season pass to a local swimming pool and try to go once a week with a friend and her son. I think DD will really enjoy it. There's also a large lake and park next to the pool. We might sign DD up for swim lessons. I'd like to go to the zoo as well.
Hopefully this GTKY question will help generate some new ideas for us moms!
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: If it doesn't happen this cycle we will be out next cycle most likely because H has to have one more surgery which will be in May sometime. (He was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis last October and it got so bad so fast that he had is colon removed in early December, a second surgery early March and the final one hopefully soon).
GTKY: What summer activities do you have planned with your kid(s)? I got us a zoo membership a month ago and we've already gone 3 times so we will probably do that alot. I won't have to work Friday's this summer so that will be nice. We also got a membership to the children's museum. This summer will be fun because she's old enough to enjoy more activities like the playground etc...
GTKY: What summer activities do you have planned with your kid(s)? I was thinking that we didn't have any plans and now I realize that we do. We're going to a butterfly conservatory for Mother's Day, and the zoo for DS's birthday/Father's Day. May long weekend we're visiting with DS's great-grandma. We've got our first kiddie birthday at the end of May and DS's 1st birthday in June. In July we're going to Scotland, and at the end of July we're all in my SIL's wedding party. We're thinking about going to PEI in August (FX!) We also have a family reunion and cottage time in August. I'm sure we'll sneak in a few trips to the beach too! I'm glad DS will be a little more robust (and way more fun) this summer!
GTKY: What summer activities do you have planned with your kid(s)? We have a family beach trip to South Carolina planned in August. We're also zoo members so we plan on going as much as weather permits. There's also a water park in town so we might hit that and I'd also like to enroll K in swim lessons but I might save that for this winter to give K something to do.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: hope I O earlier than last cycle
GTKY: What summer activities do you have planned with your kid(s)? 2 boys are doing swim team so that will keep them busy, and lots of trips to the pool for all of us, oldest son has a job and a girlfriend so busy monitoring them! 14 yr old also has a girlfriend but no driving so easier to handle! The older boys will be running around with friends, biking, swimming, playing computer games to their hearts delight. They will all also go to one or two summer camps, go to Virginia to visit paternal grandparents. LO will keep us busy with park/playground visits and possibly start attending story hour (more like 20 min) at the local library when we are sick of the heat!

RRCS: I'm not thrilled with this cycle. I'm hoping that we have a good chance but my temps aren't up where I want them.
GTKY: We bought a BioPark membership this year so lots of trips to the zoo, aquarium, and botanical gardens! We always go camping but we missed out last year so we're going to make up for it this summer. And....I don't know what else.

R/R/CS: starting OPKs tomorrow. I've mentioned this in WTO before but I'm actually waiting to be cleared to TTC. I had surgery a few weeks ago and a follow up appointment on Thursday. Hopefully we get the go ahead!
GTKY: there is an amusement park about 25 minutes from my house. It has a water park, rides, a zoo, etc. I bought a season pass this year and plan on taking DS often.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I've got nothing. We're NTNP this cycle then will probably be more actively TTC next cycle.
GTKY: What summer activities do you have planned with your kid(s)? DS has recently decided he loves splash pads! He runs right out into the center every time. We also plan to go to the pool, the zoo, children's museum, park, and aquarium. I'm watching my niece and nephew for 2 weeks this summer, so I've been working on planning all our activities! I think I'm more excited than they are!
GTKY: What summer activities do you have planned with your kid(s)? Swimming lessons, camping, park. No vacations planned yet- we'll see if we get any time.

GTKY: What summer activities do you have planned with your kid(s)? We have a pool membership that we use on the weekends. We are so anxious for the pool to open on memorial weekend. DS has already said he wants to go to the Zoo. We are trying to plan a trip to OKC and then we area probably going on a big whole family vacation to see a MLB game.

If I can have bad timing on purpose that might make me feel better. Because I want to try, but I really dislike the timing. Meh.
GTKY: What summer activities do you have planned with your kid(s)? There's a beach down the road. We will for sure go camping. And three weddings. That's all we have for now.

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I seriously thought I was going to ovulate really early this month. I had some creamy CM and my temps over my usual coverline for a few days and then my temp dropped so I have no idea what the deal was there.
GTKY: What summer activities do you have planned with your kid(s)? DD has to spend the summer with her dad so I will only get to see her every other weekend for June and July. It is the first summer we have to do this and I am REALLY NOT looking forward to it. When we do have her we plan on starting to getting her started learning to ride a horse. FIL runs the 4-H program (horses only) and practices are sundays so we will start taking her to those.

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: My insurance covers IUIs and IVF partially! On a related note: icequeen let us know how your IUI goes!
GTKY: What summer activities do you have planned with your kid(s)? Planning on throwing him in the pool with H. We have been going to the zoo and bike riding like fiends this spring, but I will wilt in the summer. May start doing more ice skating and any other indoor physical activities I can find. Looking forward to doing martial arts when he gets older.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I have no idea if/when I O'd. I seriously need to start temping again.
GTKY: What summer activities do you have planned with your kid(s)? We have a couple of camping trips planned, and since he's finally getting into dinosaurs, we're planning to take him to Jurassic forest and Drumheller. Plus my family is coming out to visit so there will be lots of touristy stuff to be done
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: None right now, just waiting on AF to leave and very sad it was even here at all.
GTKY: What summer activities do you have planned with your kid(s)? I hope for lots of time at the lake, library visits, park visits, playing out at the farm, and just spending as much quality time with him as I can with school being out for the summer for me and DH both. Lots of family time.
Age of LO(s): 16 months Cycle/Month: 3/3 CD/DPO: 20/4 or 20/3
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I O'd super early (for me), so our timing was shit. I just got home from being in Chicago for 5 days. We only hit -3 or -4 depending on O date (FF and I disagree. I'm bummed, but okay if we're out this cycle as an early January EDD wasn't exactly the plan. I was hoping for mid-late Jan at the earliest. On the plus side, I should be home for my FW in May now, so that makes me happy! GTKY: What summer activities do you have planned with your kid(s)? Nothing specific right now, but I really would like to get her into swim lessons. Hopefully we'll take lots of trips to the beach, outdoor stuff in general, and a vacation or two (usually Bermuda and possibly South Carolina where my parents have another house).
kelle017, I'll be praying for YH. Hope all goes well. valie, dang girl! You got a busy summer planned. I like it! diamondsndaisies, I would feel so sad if DD were away, too. The horses sound amazing!
Age of LO(s): 17 months
Cycle/Month: 9/8
CD/DPO: CD 19 (had IUI today and O will likely be today)
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I had a good appointment at the RE this morning and I'm feeling pretty positive about the IUI. I'm starting to feel some O pain as usual and I'm just so ready for vacation next week! It will be a good distraction during the TWW.
GTKY: What summer activities do you have planned with your kid(s)? I'll definitely be taking a few more trips to Chicago with DD to see my mom. We have a lot of pretty state parks around the area with little mini water parks for the kids so we will probably go to one every other weekend or so. Our neighbors have a pool and we always bring DD over there to swim, but I am anxious to get her signed up for lessons as well. I am hoping to go to the Children's Museum and to the Grand Isle beach or Orange Beach because we haven't been there yet since we moved down here.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: just sitting here, waiting to o. DH is way more on board this cycle, so I'm hopeful for better timing.
GTKY: What summer activities do you have planned with your kid(s)? Swimming lessons! And planning a weekend trip to the aquarium and zoo. For the most part we will spend tons of time at the park, farmers market, etc.
Hello...I'm kind of new, mostly a lurker. I think I intro'd at one time, but it may have been on TD, and maybe just on TTGP, not TFAS. I'm 34, a teacher, and we have been waiting forever to TFAS. Lots of moving and job changes...We originally planned to begin TTC again when DD turned three. She's 4.5, so..yeah.
Age of LO: 4.5 Cycle/Month: 4 CD/DPO: 31/14...or maybe CD1...I am shocked that things haven't gotten started yet.
R/R/CS: big temp drop plus a BFN this morning...ready for CD1 already. If it's not happening, let's get on with it. Finally talked DH out of skipping this next cycle. He doesn't want a Jan/Feb due date, but I'm tired of putting things off until everything is perfect and convenient. We have waited enough!
GTKY: summer activities: I will enjoy being off of work, and we are going to visit family and relax. I want to sign DD up for swimming and gymnastics, too.

CD: 5
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Well, we're on cycle 14 of trying for a second but we don't plan on stopping anytime soon! It's just another cycle and I'm trying to remind myself that just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it never will.
GTKY: What summer activities do you have planned with your kid(s)? We'll go on a few vacations to the beach, go camping, and go to the park every chance we get. We'll probably start some early swimming lessons too since I have a total water baby.
Edited just to add that I'm so glad everything went well today icequeen!
I'm late to the party! I have been away for a little bit to try to decide what we are doing!

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Well I finally bought a thermometer, now I just need to figure out how to use it. I have decided that we are going to TTA for a couple of cycles but I am still going to chart, actually chart more than I have previously. I just need a break to work on my mental and physical health. I am going to see my regular doctor tomorrow to get a referral to an endocrinologist to try to get things figured out with my thyroid; I'm not terribly confident in him handling it because of a few things that have happened recently. I've also been having a lot of anxiety lately and have honestly been pretty upset that things aren't happening as quickly as I thought, so I need to get my shit together before I try to deal with the hormone swings that come with pregnancy. So hopefully things will look up within the next couple of months and I can go at it with a more level head!
GTKY: What summer activities do you have planned with your kid(s)? Lots of walks, park play dates, and just being outside as much as possible! We are going to Gatlinburg in July with my family, so I am pretty excited about that. I lost hours on Pinterest yesterday looking at things to do, so we should have a good time!

Cycle/Month: 11/13
CD/DPO: 22/9
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Just waiting. I had my trigger shot on Saturday the 11th, so I'm guessing I'm about 9 dpo. Monday is my test day and if it's positive then I keep doing the progesterone but if negative then I stop and let my period start. I obviously want it to be positive but I truly don't believe it will be. I think I'm at the point where I don't really believe it's going to happen again. I've been feeling down and hormonal lately and that's not helping. On the plus side, this cycle isn't going to last for two months so that's something at least.
GTKY: What summer activities do you have planned with your kid(s)? We are taking our daughter on a weekend trip to the Omaha Zoo which she loved last year. We go out to a local farmstead all the time, plus lots of outside time. We have no big trip plans due to timing, although I could really use a vacation.
