We watch The Walking Dead together and I'm nervous about the resolution of last season's cliffhanger. I watched the This Is Us pilot this week. It was... okay? It kept getting compared to Parenthood and it just wasn't on the same level, at least not yet. I'll keep watching, though.

What are you doing to GKU? PNV, BBT, CM, CP, EOD

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: a nice surprise - the sex this cycle hasn't felt forced at all (so far). i probably would have initiated sex FW or not, which is rare for me and a nice surprise.

GTKY: it's so hard for me to get into TV shows. we watch a lot of summer shows, but i don't have any lined up right now. i should try this is us.

caitost21 hopefully an OPK expert will chime in (bc i'm not one), but i think you should do OPKs every day now until you get a positive one, and maybe twice a day when they start getting darker? i just started using them last month, but i think if you skip a few days at this point in your cycle, you're likely to miss the surge.

@caitost23 I agree with using OPKs every day if there's any chance you're in your fertile week. But I use Internet cheapie so I like to pee on things every chance I get. How long are your cycles normally?

What are you doing to GKU? BBT, OPK, PNV

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: nothing yet. Going to try to enjoy the next 2 weeks not thinking about TTC. I don't usually O until day 20ish so WTO drags on and on.

GTKY: Fall season premieres have started! Do you have a favorite returning show? Interested in a new one? I plan to watch Survivor, but in not all that excited about anything else. I'm a sucker for reality TV.

Hi! I'm not lurking anymore!
Cycle/Month: 5

CD: 2

What are you doing to GKU? Lots of sex, OPK and maybe temping.

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: when I had my IUD (copper) I could feel very obvious O pain but since I got it out I don't have it anymore. I thought it would be easy and I wouldn't have to bother with other methods but nope.

GTKY: Fall season premieres have started! Do you have a favorite returning show? Interested in a new one? We only have rabbit ears and they suck so we just Netflix. I'm really into Gilmore girls right now and I'm excited for the reboot in November!

[marshian]

agm04 - It is nice when it doesn't feel forced. I actually initiated all week last week, which is different for us. Hoping that feeling keeps up this week during my (hopefully) FW!

What are you doing to GKU? Metformin, synthroid, pnv, cp, cm, bbt eod

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: nothing new, just hoping to O earlier this time.

GTKY: Fall season premieres have started! Do you have a favorite returning show? Interested in a new one?

I can't wait for October 10th when Murdoch Mysteries is back. It is one of the few shows we watch live.

The new show speechless is really funny too. Minnie Driver is hilarious, and we really enjoyed the pilot.

[rosey06]

I'm gonna hop back in here. We had an early loss so I was holding off till my next cycle started before trying again but I think we're just doing it... so I'm rejoining.


Cycle/Month: 4?/5



CD: 23



What are you doing to GKU? OPKs and temping


Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I was getting anxious how this cycle would go, and I usually o by now so I started OPKs again sat. It was negative. But had a positive last night. Buuut back to negative this AM. I'm either going to see a temp spike tomorrow and be so glad I decided to start using OPKs again when I did. OR it won't spike and I'm going to have to admit that this cycle is just going to mess with my head.



GTKY: Fall season premieres have started! Do you have a favorite returning show? Interested in a new one? We have so much... code black, scorpion, horror story, survivor, and we're trying out this is us. Then throw in a few bad guilty pleasures I can't let go of till they get cancelled.

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: none

[agm04]

this is the darkest OPK i've ever gotten, but is it still too light?

SPOILER: Click to show

[marshian]

If anyone is curious, we like the Astroglide TTC better than Preseed. It feels more like non-TTC lube. Did not dry out. Easy to apply with your hands instead of the applicator (though it does come in applicators similar to Preseed).

Yeah I'd say it's still too light. I would start testing twice a day to see if you catch it. But you may have also just missed it, which means you could still O today/tomorrow. If it doesn't get any darker keep testing. I've had cycles where I had OPKs look like that, and then a week later I got a real positive. But definitely make a note of this one because if this is the darkest one you get all cycle and you also see a temp shift you might just want to go back and put it in as positive.

[agm04]

thanks JoBub!

[agm04]

****** thank you! i think i've read that as well. i did FMU today bc i couldn't hold it long enough to get a 4+ hour stretch yesterday (but still got what i thought was a darkish line). i'll plan to try again when i get home. really appreciate the input!

[agm04]

****** yeah i used a LOT of cheapies last month and still never got a positive. i will figure it out eventually! internet cheapies FTW.

[euphony]

Well hello, again, ladies. Back again, back again.

What are you doing to GKU? temp/chart

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I am back after a CP. I am not feeling too bad about it, as I would much rather have this happen now rather than later. Just a bit disappointed, of course.

GTKY: Fall season premieres have started! Do you have a favorite returning show? Interested in a new one? Walking Dead, Survivor. Not sure what else off the top of my head.

[agm04]

euphony i'm so sorry. hugs.

[marshian]

euphony - Hugs for you.

[savigirl]

Huggs euphony both for the company and cd1

Cycle/month: 6/5

CD: 1

What are you doing to GKU? BBT, PNV, starting Vitex

RRCS: for a while my LP had been getting longer with each cycle, but now I have 3 in a row with an LP of 11 days. I read a few things that Vitex helps lengthen LP, so I'll be trying that. Otherwise I have to wait til December (1 year off BCP) to see a doc about it. Insurance rules suck.

GTKY: work has been pretty busy, so I've recorded a bunch of stuff but haven't watched it yet. I'm excited to watch the new Doctor Who season, and the new spinoff Class. I've also recorded Speechless.

[marshian]

Sorry for CD1, @bonzo2012.

What are you doing to GKU? All the things

RRCS: We've reached the year mark and I'm having all the feels.

GTKY: Fall season premieres have started! Do you have a favorite returning show? Interested in a new one?

I can't wait for all of the Chicago shows and Blindspot. And I'm looking forward to watching This Is Us and Pitch. We cancelled Hulu at the end of summer and I'm waiting for the shows to get a couple of weeks in before I get it again.

My body feels awful. I just want to stay curled up in bed today. The cat agrees, and H is home from work with the flu. So I have basically no motivation to turn on the computer or work on finding props. Ugh.

Sorry your body is being annoying. Resting in bed until it decides to be nicer sounds like a good plan!

Cramps suck. Periods suck. I can deal with it when I have to, but it was definitely nice to have the flexibility to just say "screw the world" for most of the day. I do have to put on some real pants and go to a meeting now, but I'm in a better place to handle life now!

Yes, it is nice to just forget about everything else if you're able! Good job putting on pants!
