GTKY ?: If time and $ were not an issue, what's your dream vacation?

[leekpartyof2]

Cycle/month:2/2

CD:12

What are you doing to GKU?:Temping, OPKs, SMEP and PNVs+myo-inositol and omegas

RRCS: No rants atm. My birthday is Friday and we're getting a hotel room downtown, which will hopefully be good juju since FF suggests I'll ovulate around then.

GTKY ?: If time and $ were not an issue, what's your dream vacation? I'd love to do a Viking River Cruise down the Mekong river. I've spent some time in the region, but would love to do the fancy version. Also, Australia and NZ would be pretty high on the list.

[goldenbird]

Cycle/month: 2 out of 4 cycles TTA

CD: 2

What are you doing to GKU?: temping & PNVs. Will use OPKs and preseed once we are trying for real in July

RRCS: I'm actually slightly bummed my cycles seem to be shortening a bit. It's pretty likely CD1 will be the first day of our 5 day beach trip in June. Not my favorite time to be in a swimsuit, meh.

GTKY ?: If time and $ were not an issue, what's your dream vacation? Ireland for sure. New Zealand is another contender.

[westiemom]

Cycle/month: 2/2

CD: I have no idea. This is my 2nd postpartum cycle. I have been spotting for 8 days. I needed a panty liner one afternoon but nothing else. It's only coming off on tp. No real flow so I don't know if this is a period or some other issue.

What are you doing to GKU: I plan to do SMEP and OPK but I don't really know what to do with this cycle since I can't seem to have a real period.

RRCS: see above

GTKY: somewhere super tropical and relaxing. I have always wanted to go to Turks and Caicos!

Cycle/month: 6/5


CD: 3


What are you doing to GKU?: charting, OPK


RRCS: nothing to complain about right now





GTKY ?: If time and $ were not an issue, what's your dream vacation? Croatia!! 

[bonzo2012]

Cycle/month: 13/11

CD: 1

What are you doing to GKU: BBT, so many supplements

RRCS: nothing really, just generally cranky at CD1

GTKY: If time and money were not an issue, what's your dream vacation? Oh, there are so many places I want to go! I want to see the Northern Lights, go to Australia and NZ, spend lots of time in small European villages, go to Morocco, Peru...

[leekpartyof2]

goldenbird, boo for CD 1 on a beach vaycay... that's just sad.
westiemom, that spotting is super frustrating. Here's hoping it resolves itself.
bonzo2012, what supplements are you taking?

Rant warning--not chart related: I was going to try SMEP this cycle, and all was going well until last night (CD 12) when DH decided he was too tired to BD. Really? I know it's not the end of the world, but I'm irrationally rage-y with him today.

[bonzo2012]

leekpartyof2, we're doing IVF probably starting in June, so I have a whole list from my RE. I'm on DHEA, CoQ10, myo inositol, L Arginine, DHA Omega 3, pycnogenol, Vit E, Vit C, plus Vit D due to a deficiency.

[aprilz81]

Cycle/month: 2 AL

CD: 13

What are you doing to GKU?: Femara & TI

RRCS: Today was my monitoring appointment and I have 5 follicles cooking. The largest was 16 and I had two at 13. RE seems to think that I will have 2-3 actually mature by the time I ovulate. I was really surprised at my response. Last cycle (before our loss) I was 20 pounds heavier and on a larger dose of meds and had a similar response. After my weight loss he lowered the dose and this morning I was convinced it was going to be too low and I wouldn't have any response at all. I was so wrong!!!!

GTKY ?: If time and $ were not an issue, what's your dream vacation? I would do an around the world tour! There are so many places I would like to see and things I would like to experience. Outside of the current war torn countries there isn't a place I wouldn't visit given the opportunity. On a more realistic note, one of my bucket list vacations is an Alaskan cruise followed by a week or so exploring the interior. I've priced it out and to do all of the side trips I would want to do it would be about $7-8k per person.

What are you doing to GKU?: charting, OPK

RRCS: nothing to complain about right now

GTKY ?: If time and $ were not an issue, what's your dream vacation? Croatia!! 

My husband's great-grandfather immigrated to the US from Croatia.  When I looked it up I saw how beautiful it is and I would love to visit there one day.

What are you doing to GKU?: just waiting for AF to end

RRCS: H and I got into it about TTC the other day. He just doesn't understand how it all works, no matter how many times I explain. He also doesn't get why it's upsetting to me that we're on cycle 8 and I'm still not pregnant. Ugh.

GTKY ?: If time and $ were not an issue, what's your dream vacation? Bora Bora! We wanted to go for out honeymoon but saved a ton of money by going to Costa Rica instead. We talk about going in a few years for our 10th wedding anniversary.

My husband is the same way - doesn't really "get it". :/

Add my DH to the list as well. I had a + opk yesterday, and a big temp spike this morning, and he couldn't figure out why I was still a little pissed that he hadn't been up to BD on Tuesday. I've tried explaining how the timing works, and he just doesn't get it.

Cycle/month: 2/2


CD: 27


What are you doing to GKU?: This cycle we're NTNP, but I'm going to start taking the PNV/Myo Inositol/ALA/DHA/CQ10 combo again.


RRCS: Yes please! I'm trying to figure out WTAF is up with my cycle this month. Usually O day is between CD 17 and 20, and I always, always get a monster headache. Well, CD22 I got a monster headache, CD23 I had a temp spike (expected that to be ovulation and now...it's back down again to normal pre-O temps (on CD 27 now). So, what gives? I wonder if it's because my temps were elevated for some strange reason when AF was here? (BTW open circles = different waking times, but in the past that hasn't' affected it so much since I'm still getting the same amount of sleep.)


GTKY ?: If time and $ were not an issue, what's your dream vacation? Japan!!

I can't see your chart, but personally I'd keep temping and see if they go back up. Every once in a while I'd had a random dip after O that I can't explain. It would help to see the chart though.

So I'm not mobile now, and saw your chart in your sig. TBH, I don't see enough of a pattern in this month's temps to say you for sure O'd around CD23. I'm not an expert chart reader though!

bonzo2012 thanks for taking a look! Yeah I'm pretty sure I didn't actually O on CD23 even though I had the usual symptoms. I'm definitely still temping, I'm either having a wonky or annovulatory cycle...which is disappointing because that hasn't happened in awhile (I have PCOS so it does happen though).

Hi!!

Cycle/month: 4/5


CD: 3


What are you doing to GKU?: temping + sex


RRCS: So last cycle my luteal phase was only 10 days. In 42 charted cycles it's never been that short! I know things can change at any time, I just find it strange and hope it was a one-time thing.


GTKY ?: If time and $ were not an issue, what's your dream vacation?

I'd love to go back to Sweden. I visited distant family there when I was 16, and really want H to go back with me. And then we'd also go back to Rome and eat all the sandwiches and gelato and pizza, and then to Sevilla, and then to Bruges. It would be a tour of my favorite places in Europe.
