charliefox tinydancer We just anchor out not too far off the shore of a National Park island. There is a bathroom in the boat (toilet and shower) and we have solar panels that my dad hooked up so we don't need shore power and still have lights etc. The stove is propane so doesn't take energy. Just the fridge really and if we want hot water to shower. There is also a bathroom and shower on shore if needed. We usually spend the days swimming, playing on the beach, going for walks, etc. The island has a small playground on it so we play there too. We have a seado that we take into town to get groceries or go to the library. There is also a really great park and splash pad on the mainland about a 30 minute ride from where we are. We have a pedal boat and row boat so we take those out too. At night we have fires or go swimming. It's my favourite place in the world. SO works all summer so he comes up for a day or two whenever he can. My sister and her husband have a boat as do my parents so we're usually never without family up there. And everything is fairly close by boat, including a hospital, if needed.

Age of LO(s): 22 months
Month/Cycle: 1/1 (technically ntnp) but I had unprotected sex in my fertile window
CD/DPO: 22
RRCS: hoping I get a positive opk in the next day or so, so that sex counts for something
GTKY: I'm a teacher and I just want to recharge and rest. I'm moving within my town in a week so I'm doing all that stuff too. Eta, now I have gotten a positive opk, so could be good this cycle!

A coworker of mine spends a couple weeks on a boat in a lake in AZ with his brother - I think his brother spends more time out there - but the cell service is super patchy. He said sometimes he has to dock the boat, run up a hill, and wait for his emails to come in. Or maybe he's just saying that so we don't bug him...

How are you doing robot? I'm feeling hopeful that I could have a longer LP this cycle because I don't have any cramping at 7dpo. I was wondering how you're feeling since we're cycle buddies.

Thanks bunny! That's great that you're not having cramps yet. Fx your LP gets it together this cycle. I'm not feeling much of anything, ATM, good or bad. I remember feeling very pregnant with DD later in my LP but I also had allllll the symptoms last cycle and obviously that didn't happen so we'll see. Not super positive but we've been so busy that luckily I haven't had much time to obsess.

I just seriously did enough symptom spotting last cycle for the next 6 months combined. But I saw your tag in this post and was very excited 😊

Definitely O'd on Friday or Saturday. Def only hit -2 or -3 this cycle. FX. I'm in the short LP club, too, bunnyfungo and robot. Have you been doing anything to try to lengthen your LP?

MH asked me yesterday what we are doing wrong this time around since I'm not KTFU yet. I had to remind him that it took us 7 cycles of perfect timing with #1, and this time around we've only hit 4 cycles just right.

I started taking B6 a few months ago because I figured it was one of those things that couldn't hurt and has been suggested to help but I haven't seen any change. Shrug.

I also tried B6 for a cycle before I conceived my first. It just made me feel sick, didn't seem to lengthen my LP. I started trying to eat clean and cut sugar around the time that i did get knocked up - who knows if that had anything to do with it. cc Bluebird

I was eye rolling him so hard. (To be fair, it took us 9 months TTC DD but both times I O'd during that stretch I did GKU. Still though, come on!)

tinydancer Cell service used to be pretty bad up there but it's actually perfect now. I wouldn't be up there without it...I need to know that if there's an emergency I can get ahold of someone immediately! We can even get 3 channels on our tiny TV if I put up an antenna.

Bluebird this is my SO too. I keep explaining that we're both old now (in fairness we were old then too...but even older now) and that it's going to take time if it happens at all. Doesn't stop him from asking at least once a week.

It went well. I did some blood work today and got a referral to an RE. Next, I'll do an HSG and I think more blood work. MH will do an SA and then if everything comes back normal we'll probably try clomid. My doctor seems to think that there's no reason to expect anything crazy since we got pregnant with DD without intervention and I've had no trauma and am not that much older. It feels nice to have something to do that's not have sex and wait though.

Thanks for starting imapenguin . I hope the missing wisdom teeth don't hurt too much and that you have good drugs. sammysam , I have all the questions about the boat too. It sounds amazing! Do you drive the boat places during the day? Do you hook up to a septic and all that? Age of LO: 16 months Month/Cycle: 1/1 CD/DPO: 17 RRCS: I'm not temping but based on CM I think I may ovulate soon. Timing has not been good, it feels like a sort of half hearted attempt this month. GTKY: Visiting my in-laws lake cabin. We've never been there but we're planning to spend almost a week. They have all kinds of boats and drinks, and they'll be happy to entertain the toddler for awhile. My daughter will be 16 months on the 23rd! What is your LOs birthday?

My LO is actually almost 17 months at this point - he was born on the 26th.
