Are you or your partner TTC, considering adoption, or otherwise trying to add to your family?

After a break, I'm back to TFAS. I think the folks that were TTC awhile back are KU now, but I thought I'd check. I'm not charting right now, but secondary signs tell me I'm heading into the TWW.

Not yet, but we're starting to think about it. Probably going to start actually paying attention to my cycle in November or December or so... I like the idea of a 3-ish year gap and Nugget will be 3 around Thanksgiving next year.

We're working on scheduling for a January fet cycle. There's not really any ttc at that point beyond just waiting and testing at the end.

I am starting to get the itch to TFAS but it's just not in the cards for us right now. Maybe in a year or more we can try. I'm a planner, so of course I hate not having any plan about this other than "not in the near future".

We are trying to figure out the financing for an IVF cycle hopefully later this fall. We've done the pretesting and have an appointment with the RE in a couple weeks. If we can't do it this fall, then we will have to wait til spring. Wouldn't want to have to drive long distances in a blizzard.

OMG, I can't imagine. We have to drive 4 hours each way for the retrieval and transfer appointments, and of course the timing is critical. We did our first cycle (which failed) in December 2014, and there was just too much stress worrying about getting to appointments on time. And then it was just us! Now with a toddler in the mix ... Nope. Fall or spring.

Realized last night that I was 10 days late and had a mini freak-out. We definitely want a second, but the timing would not be great if it happened now due to some family-related issues happening right now. Took a test a little bit ago and it was negative, and I'm relieved, but maybe a little disappointed, too. I don't think we're mentally ready yet, but I've definitely thought about the prospect more recently. Saved the second test just in case, hopefully AF comes soon so I can stop thinking about it.
