Cycle/month: 6/5

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

RRCS: so many little frustrations lately. None of them truly worth the effort of typing out, but all in all contributing to me feeling generally frustrated.

GTKY: yes, I posed this question because I want more game recommendations! I love some of the classics like Monopoly and Scrabble, but most of my friends won't play those. One of my favorite newer games is Castles of the Mad King Ludwig. I like that it's a building and strategy game, and it's competitive but it can be fun even if you seem to be falling behind.

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

RRCS: cd1 after a long confusing cycle. I am ready to move on a see what this cycle brings.

GTKY: Do you play board games? What is your favorite and why? Yes, I grew up playing them all the time. We have managed to get DD in to playing them and we like to have a game night with her every so often. We play all of the classics. Personally, I like monopoly.

What are you doing to GKU? Metformin, synthroid, pnv, cp, cm, bbt, and eod (ish)

RRCS: I'm home sick with a cold today. When I woke up this morning I couldn't really swallow and my voice was almost non existent. Hopefully a day of rest will help.

GTKY: Do you play board games? What is your favorite and why?

I love to play board games. My favourites right now are munchkin, red dragon inn, ticket to ride, and the classic yatzee.

What are you doing to GKU? BBT, lots of sex, OPK

RRCS: I'm finally remembering to temp consistently! But now I stare at the chart like it's going to tell me something right now... gotta ovulate first!

GTKY: Do you play board games? What is your favorite and why?
We play all kinds of nerdy tabletop games. Right now my favorite is pandemic legacy. DH loves games and is always trying to get me to play with him.

What are you doing to GKU? temping & OPKs

RRCS: Pretty sure I didn't ovulate last month. I guess I just need to be patient but it is super frustrating.

GTKY: Do you play board games? What is your favorite and why? Yes I like board games but don't actually play them very often. We have played "Blockus" a few times lately. I love it because it is relatively quick and easy to play. My SS who is 10 enjoys it too so it makes for a good family activity for us.

What are you doing to GKU? BBT, OPK

RRCS: Just annoying trying to figure out when I'm going to O. Stuck in that place where its too early for anything.

GTKY: Do you play board games? What is your favorite and why? I like board games. Nobody else I know does, though. I like the classics, like Monopoly. Also trying to get into Pandemic.

What are you doing to GKU? Just sex, still not temping or OPKing.

RRCS: My cycle (2nd off Mirena) was 22 days. I'm used to 25-26 day cycles but that seems really short. Gonna adjust timing and try not to stress about it and see what happens for at least another few months.

GTKY: Do you play board games? Love board games. Scrabble champ.

Cycle/month: 12/13

What are you doing to GKU? BBT, CM, OPK, PNV, Vit E & D, CoQ10, sex

RRCS: O should be Wed/Thurs so I'm just peeing on OPKs and waiting for them to get darker.

GTKY: Do you play board games? What is your favorite and why?[/quote] Yes, we do. I like Scrabble and we recently played the Pirates of the Caribbean version of Life. I need to get our place cleaned up so we can host a game night.

What are you doing to GKU: a shit load of vitamins
RRCS: so I had my appointment with my OB's NP and she said she had the same issues as me; weird cycles, not getting positives on OPK's, short luteal phases. She went to a RE and they put her on the vitamins and she got KU soon after. So after spending 90 dollars today at Walgreens, I'm feeling a bit more hopeful. It was nice to have some reassurance
GTKY: we are fans of Life, Yahtzee, Sorry

[Deleted]

jax1182014, if you don't mind sharing, what did your NP recommend for short LP? My doc want to wait til December to reevaluate if I still have short LPs, but so far i haven't had a single one longer than 11 days. If there's something at Walgreens that might help, I'm willing to try it!

Vitex can seriously screw up your cycles. Does your doctor know you're taking it?

[jax1182014]

@bonzo2012 I don't mind sharing at all. She calls it her vitamin protocol. Prenatal vitamin with DHA. Iron ( 65 mg elemental iron). B Complex ( with 400 mcg of folic acid). Calcium (1200mg) & Vitamin D (800 units) combined- I have to take 2 pills. D3 1000 units
It's expensive for all of these FYI. You have to really read the labels. It was a bit hard for me and I'm a nurse, to get everything right.

Yes, it was suggested by my doctor since it can lengthen short LPs. It's the only thing they've suggested to me at this point, since they want to reevaluate what my body is doing once I've been off BCP for a full year.

That is a lot! I'm already doing a standard PNV with DHA, so I wouldn't add extra before talking to my doctor, but it's interesting and useful to know when I do talk to her.

What are you doing to GKU? Temping

RRCS:I dislike the WTO phase. Blech.

GTKY: Do you play board games? What is your favorite and why? I don't play much now but used to when I had roommates. I like Settlers of Catan and enjoy most trivia based games. When I was a kid there was a game called Mind Trap that was all riddles. I also like Cards Against Humanity, Apples to Apples, Things and Scribblish as party games.

[savigirl]

Sorry for cd1 diamondsndaisies

Feel better soon @sparky85

Cycle/month: 9/9

Cd: 14

GKU: temping from about DPO 10 until O is confirmed, pnv, hio.

RRCS: OPK getting darker, will test again after work. O is almost always cd 15 so we'll see over the next few days. MH is in town so trying to get a good timing this FW.

I've learned I need to use FF as little as possible to get a confirmed O and then leave it alone, because i obsess over it daily hoping it will tell me something new.

Good news is MH and I are going to New Orleans next week on a trip he won from work! Looking forward to some quality time.

Gtky: I like settlers of Catan, shanghi (card game), blockus.

[charliefox]

I guess I go here now.

Cycle/month: 1/1 TFAS
CD: 13
What are you doing to GKU? Sex, oh yeah and the usual prenatals, opks, temping, cm etc.
RRCS: H is so weird. Short story, dropped hints about TFAS, then said he didn't want to think about it until the new year, then said a June baby sounded nice, then refused to wear a condom, then said he wants to NTNP because he wants a "surprise". So basically I'm TTC and he's in la-la land.
GTKY: Do you play board games? Not a traditional board game but I love Rummikub - it's basically Gin Rummy on steroids. Also enjoy party games like Balderdash and Things. I reeeeaaalllly need to fish out some games from the garage and host a game night!

[amyface813]

charliefox MH is the same. He's kind of all over the place about ttc. He brought it up in the first place so I went and got my IUD removed. Then he just did not want to talk about it! Men...

The first time I got pregnant it was sort of a surprise and a bit stressful, then I MC'd and H said he really wanted to be part of the TTC process so he was very involved that go around. He would even check the pee stick for me - turns out he didn't know how to read one! So it's just so weird that he doesn't want anything to do with it this time. Whatever. Must be nice for them that they don't have to think about it!!

[amyface813]

charliefox just in it for all the sex!

I saw my Dr today, and she has upped my metformin to 3 times a day from twice (500mg tablets). She also gave me some blood work to have done in January, if needed.

What are you doing to GKU? Riding out AF for now.

RRCS: I am mad and bummed but I know I need to just get over it. It's only been 4 cycles.

GTKY: Do you play board games? What is your favorite and why?
I used to a lot as a kid. I hope to play a lot when DS is old enough to play. I liked monopoly, sorry, candy land and we LOVED card games.

[jax1182014]

Sorry for CD1 bradysalon
Hopefully the higher dose of the metformin helps @sparky85
So my lab work looks fine so I'm hoping the vitamins work miracles

What are you doing to GKU? OPK

RRCS: I'm okay now but was really pissed off last month with my 37 day period. It was so abnormal: I was sure I was KU. I'm a little less jazzed about this month but more realistic.

GTKY: Do you play board games? What is your favorite and why?

I love Taboo, Catchphrase, and this old one called Tribond.

[amyface813]

TTMA OPKs. I have the wondfos and they say to wait to start testing until day 15 with a 31 day cycle. Is this what everyone is doing? I'm afraid that I will end up Oing earlier and miss it. I'm going to start tomorrow cd14 either way but I'm curious what everyone else does.

I start testing early for that same reason of ovulating early and missing it..

I normally have a 28 day cycle, normally O around cd 15, and start opks about cd12. Id probably start a few days before cd 15 personally.

Just hanging out cd17 waiting for two more high temps to move to TWW.

My current RRCS was I temped about 30 min early on Thursday and got an open circle so I may have to wait 4 days to confirm O. Tomorrow is a day off but I'll set my alarm to temp at 630 to avoid anymore open circles.

Just excited to move over bc we had great timing this FW.

For those that like charts. Do you think ch will be cd15 or cd16?

Edited to add chart
And report back. Got cross hairs today and O was reported for cd15 which make sense bc of temps. Heading over t the TWW. Fx for timely O's ladies.
