Waiting to O - 4/10 - 4/16

[scoutradley]

Cycle/month: 2/2 AL


CD: 3


What are you doing to GKU?: temping and charting.


RRCS: apparently I O later then "normal" and my luteal phase is on the shorter side. Yay.


QOTW: What is your favourite pair of shoes that you own? A pair of inexpensive gray slip ons. They kinda look like tennis shoes except I don't have to worry about ties which is great because my foot is still recovering from a crush injury from last summer.

Yesterday was CD1 so I'll start this so I can complain about my cramps when I'm not on hormonal bc.

While I'm firmly stuck in the TWW for now, I just wanted to second the awfulness of non-bc periods. My last two have been so crampy and gross... here's hoping you find some relief!!

Cycle/month: 13/11

CD: 6

What are you doing to GKU? BBT, supplements in prep for IVF

RRCS: not much today

QOTW: I think my favorite shoes are my black boots. They're Merrells, so super comfortable with supportive soles, but they look nice enough for dressing up in the fall and winter!

Cycle/month: 2/2

What are you doing to GKU: Clearblue fertility monitor, opks, SMEP and I want to temp but I never remember in the morning!

RRCS: after 16 or so days of spotting and think it was CD 1, CD 1 clearly began! Hopefully this cycle is more normal and my PP cycles will start to regulate.

QOTW: I like practical so my favorite are my black yellow box flip flops.

Cycle/month: 1/1

CD: 6

What are you doing to GKU?: just started temping again this morning. Need to remember to buy pnv next time I'm out and start jumping my husband more.

RRCS: I tend to O really late, and as it's my first cycle off bcp, I may be here a while.

QOTW: What is your favourite pair of shoes that you own? For sentimental reasons:
I have a pair of converse that I wore for my wedding. They have our wedding date and "Mrs. Lastname" sewn into the sides. They're comfortable for me to walk in so, I've also worn them on our various trips since our wedding. They have been worn in Italy, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and a road trip down to San Francisco.

CD: 1


What are you doing to GKU?: right now, nothing---edit, I answered this wrong, not enough coffee.  I'm temping.


RRCS: My chart was so messy last month. I'm traveling for work this month and it might be right around when I am "supposed" to O.


QOTW: What is your favourite pair of shoes that you own? PIP! My brown teva flip flops. They are so comfortable.

What are doing to GKU? Nothing at the moment. Planning to let things just happen for a few months then will move onto temping if necessary.

RRCS: It's been a long time since I played here, no idea what this stands for??

QOTW: I am loving my no tie/elastic backing Converse right now. They are so comfortable and super cute.

What are you doing to GKU?: ALL THE SUPPLEMENTS. And temping, timing, preseed.


RRCS: Nah. Back to the drawing board this month after what was possibly an anovulatory cycle last month. I was surprised to get AF on Friday, since I'd neither had confirmed O nor was I due until today.


QOTW: What is your favourite pair of shoes that you own? PIP! I don't have a pic, but I'm currently wearing black TOMS with video game controllers on them. Technically they're a men's style but I have very very wide feet so the women's sizes just don't fit.

[bonzo2012]

whatsit, that's really sweet that you've been able to wear your wedding Converse on trips around the world!

Thanks!

It's started off that I wanted to wear them on our honeymoon. Then I started taking them because they're comfy for the long walks. Now it's fun to see how many countries I can wear them to.

What are you doing to GKU?: temping and OPK


RRCS: lots of pregnancy announcements around me recently. i am sooo happy for them but it makes me sad that it isn't me.


QOTW: What is your favourite pair of shoes that you own? PIP! i don't have a favorite pair

[harleyquinn13]

Cycle/month:1/1


CD:10


What are you doing to GKU?: charting, temping, will do OPK later in my cycle since mine are so long. I didn't O until around CD 30 last month


RRCS: Really excited that I just learned the difference between sticky CM and cell slough so hopefully my chart will look more normal this month. I think I've been mixing them up and charting wrong for months. So grateful for this amazing podcast about FAM I found. My rant is that I've gone almost my whole life not knowing so many things about my own body and I know most other women have too! Sucks in general and especially when you're TTC. Makes me angry.


QOTW: What is your favourite pair of shoes that you own? PIP! Probably my Uggs lol. Not for looks but they are comfy and I can just throw them on in the winter. I need to find a new favorite pair of sandals.

westiemom,I used to always forget to temp but I haven't forgot in a while now. I still set an alarm on my phone for about 10 mins after my regular one goes off in case I forget. That might help if you really want to temp.
