    Right now- watch the olympics, and unpack unpack unpack! LOL

    1. How long do you plan to TTA? Until we close on our house or maybe until we move in (Closing April 3, moving sometime in May)

    2. What methods are you using to TTA? Condoms...sometimes.

    3. How do you feel about TTA? I'm ready to move already! We know we are trying to wait until after we move, however we're both very ready so it's making it hard.  It also doesn't help to hang out with our newborn nephew this past weekend.  It was H first time holding a true newborn (his youngest prior to that was about 6 weeks) so it was entertaining!

    4. What do you like to do in your free time (if you have any)? Crafts of all sorts.  My big thing this winter was arm-knitting scarves and baby blankets.

    5. Have you seen any good movies lately? We actually haven't been to the movies or rented a movie in months! Lots out that I've wanted to see, we've just never gotten there.

    6. What are you most looking forward to in the Spring?
    Opening the windows!  It was only 48* here today but I still drove home with the windows in my car cracked.  I NEED fresh air!

    7. What questions should be included next time? Maybe something about whether or not anyone knows your timeline or if you'd tell anyone (friends, family, etc.) when you started TTC in the future (if applicable, of course).
  • 1. How long do you plan to TTA? At least until next summer

    2. What methods are you using to TTA? FAM/charting, using condoms during fertile phase

    3. How do you feel about TTA? Eh, I go back and forth. Parenting seems pretty terrifying right now, so I'm good this week :)

    4. What do you like to do in your free time (if you have any)? Watch TV, mostly. I'm lame like that. 

    5. Have you seen any good movies lately? I haven't seen any movies in a while, but I missed Catching Fire in theaters, so I'm waiting quite impatiently to rent it (next month, I think?)

    6. What are you most looking forward to in the Spring? Buying a bike to ride to school!

    7. What questions should be included next time? hmmm... maybe why are we all TTA/what we're waiting for, or goals before TTC?

  • 1. How long do you plan to TTA? Until next summer (June 2015 is our "start date").

    2. What methods are you using to TTA? I have Mirena.  I've also started charting to see if my ovaries work (which apparently they do, even though temping doesn't always work for Mirena).

    3. How do you feel about TTA? I have my days.  I've always wanted to be a mom and the hardest part has been waiting to try.  Mostly I'm glad that DH came to a lower waiting period on his own without my pushing.  First it was 5 years, then 3, and now 1.5 years (from our wedding in October).

    4. What do you like to do in your free time (if you have any)? Video games (I can't seem to get over Sims), walk the dog, lots of reading.

    5. Have you seen any good movies lately? Probably Catching Fire or Frozen.  I saw that Jack Ryan movie for my dad's birthday in January...I love Chris Pine, but it just wasn't my cup of tea.

    6. What are you most looking forward to in the Spring? Getting back in to bike riding, not having to wear coats.

    7. What questions should be included next time? I like funny questions, but I can't think of any right now.  Something that gives a glimpse of who we are.  :)

  • 1. How long do you plan to TTA? About 5 years.

    2. What methods are you using to TTA? BCP.

    3. How do you feel about TTA? Meh. I know we're not ready for kids (not in the location we want to live permanently, finishing up doctorates) but I do have baby fever. Brain is currently winning over the ovaries.

    4. What do you like to do in your free time (if you have any)? Craft, plan activities/events for my Brownie troop!

    5. Have you seen any good movies lately? Not that I can think of. I don't really like watching movies in theaters, and I haven't had time lately to sit and watch one at home.

    6. What are you most looking forward to in the Spring?
    Maybe, sometime in the future, maybe it will stop raining. Maybe. No guarantees. I could do with seeing the sun again in my lifetime. Sometimes I hate Britain.

    7. What questions should be included next time? I like Apollo's and simsk's questions. Maybe something about progress towards pre-TTC goals?

  • Ooh, @aggiebug, when are you going to Australia? How long will you be there? I've never been and really want to go, but will settle for living vicariously through you :P

     ~ S & L 8-25-12  ~
  • @beelu. We go mid March so it is coming up really soon. We will be gone 16 days and in 5 cities (2NZ and 3Australia). It is my dream vacation since I was really young and H wanted to make sure we went before er had kids :-). His dream vacation (Russia) gets to wait till kids are old enough to leave with grandparents.

    I. Can't. Wait!

    Oh, I thought of a topic for questions...books.  What books have to read recently that you liked/didn't like/cried like a baby, etc.

    And @aggiebug, I can't wait to hear about your vacation!!!
