R/R/CS: For a split second H and I tried to attempt ED sex We will be moving back to EOD
GTKY: What is your favorite kitchen gadget? My hand mixer. I make awesome mashed potatoes. It's also the only gadget in the kitchen that my husband doesn't use. <br/>
That sucks. Sorry about CD1 and the sheets powerofbacon
Thanks for starting @wallflwr926
Cycle/Month: 5/6 CD:12
What are you doing to get KU? All the acronyms plus sex
RRCS: we have the same adjuster for our new insurance claim as last year. This is a rant. She is an idiot. In TTC related news I had random open circles today and yesterday and am not sure why. No extenuating circumstances, weird times or anything. I think @led had a similar problem yesterday so I think FF is drunk.
GTKY: I love my stand mixer because it's pretty and it's sooooooo useful.
Sorry about the overnight CD1 powerofbacon, that sucks.
Cycle/Month: N/A (3/4 but TTA ATM) CD: 2
GKU: will be using the rules of FAM to avoid December EDDs. Depending on how my cycle shakes out we'll get back on the horse in April or May. R/R/CS: This sucks. I want another baby and I don't want to wait. No matter which way I shake a stick at it though, I just can't have another in December. I'm coming back around to January being okay the same way I did with November. Ideal? No. Could we make it work? Yes. I know it is actually more likely we WON'T GKU in any given month, and I hate to waste time not even trying. The worst part is that right now, according to my cycle planner, I'll be traveling for work during my FW in BOTH April and May. The idea of not even having a chance again until June makes me so upset. I know it can change, and I really hope it does. GTKY: What is your favorite kitchen gadget? Coffee maker, KitchenAid, Crock pot, in that order.

Cycle/Month: 3 (tfas)
CD: 1
GKU: same as last cycle. Green tea, red raspberry leaf tea, vitamins (multi, folgard, vit e), baby aspirin, better diet (I've been slipping the past week), lots of walking, yoga and meditation. Possibly sex too, if we can fit it in.
R/R/CS: nada. Just glad to have an answer. It's a relief this time due to sudden, unexpected changes at work. Still planning to ttc this cycle but that could change depending on work situation.
GTKY: What is your favorite kitchen gadget? Almost certainly the crock pot for ease of use and versatility.
Sparkly I'm glad you might only be sitting out one month. Last month my husband was gone for basically all of my fertile window and I was so angry about the idea that we didn't even really have a chance, honestly it frustrated me more than the BFN. Will you be gone a whole week or only a few days? As I think with early morning and/or late night sex you can make short trips work. Plus hopefully your fertile window ends up on different days for those cycles.
I will be gone 5 days in April and 8 days at the end of May/June. The dates shifted a little with my LP being 10 days instead of 8 this cycle, and I also O'd a little earlier. Hopefully that trend continues and things shift in our favor. I would rather O later in April though, so we can get as far away from the holidays as possible if we do decide to try that month. Gosh, if only I could control these things.

Cycle/Month: 1/1 CD: 16 GKU: OPK and sex as much as possible (but aiming for EOD) R/R/CS: Woke up to a positive OPK today! Woohoo! (It's like Christmas). Also detected EWCM yesterday so we are getting there. GTKU: Hm... I like this question! DH works for a coffee company so we have a pretty badass commercial grade Keurig machine, it's pretty fun (plus all the free K-Cups my heart desires!). I also love my mini food processor. Boring, I know. But it has so many uses!
R/R/CS: Noticed lots of EWCM for the first time yesterday. Had sex of course. Hoping I have O'ed, or will soon! Today or tomorrow would give me some great timing.
GTKY: What is your favorite kitchen gadget? Crockpot. I want a KitchenAid one day.
R/R/CS: nothing right now, got a +OPK yesterday so just waiting for a temp rise...
GTKY: What is your favorite kitchen gadget? Stand mixer because it's so pretty but if we're talking the item I *use* the most then coffee maker and salad spinner.

@wallflwr926, we managed 7 times in 6 days last cycle and haven't had sex since. I think we will try for better pacing this time. We're too old for that shit.
adelbert, ditto the due date month. December is my least favorite. Oh well. I will hold fast to avoiding an edd that has me out late July through early September if I have any choice though. Pure misery between work and Texas heat.
R/R/CS: Almost positive I O'd yesterday. I should get my CHs this weekend. Other than that, I'm not holding out any hope. RE I was referred to seems to think I may not be able to do it without help. This is the last cycle before I start ALL THE TESTING. EDIT: I had way more EWCM this time around. So yea....there's that.
GTKY: What is your favorite kitchen gadget? I LOVE my KitchenAid mixer, but I don't get to use it too often.
R/R/CS: I'm really excited that my husband will be in the same country as me for most of my cycle this time around. I've also completely come around to a December baby and no longer care about month at all.
Also, to this - I have a December baby, and when we found out we were pregnant and the EDD (12/27), we thought it was the worst possible timing. It wasn't. It really was fine. In fact, in my mind, everything worked out perfectly the way it did, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
That being said, I would not like to add ANOTHER December baby to the mix, but that is largely influenced by what I do for work and the fact that between work, the holidays, and already having one December birthday, that's enough for me for one month.
GKU: sex, bbt, cm, OPKs, increases water intake, preseed
R/R/CS: I think I o'd yesterday. I had my darkest OPK 2 days ago ( close to positive, but not quite), I've had fertile cm, and my temp spiked today. Just waiting for a couple more days to confirm.
GTKY: What is your favorite kitchen gadget? My ninja kitchen system. It's amazing.
R/R/CS: my chart seems weird, my pre o temps are in my typical post o range. Not GKU related I had a mole shaved off the side of a toe on Tuesday and I'm being a total baby about it. I can't help that it hurts but H is making me feel really guilty for not wanting to go on walks with him and the dog.
GTKY: What is your favorite kitchen gadget? My kitchen aid is wonderful but I forget I can use it. Of the ones I use regularly, my onion goggles (I have a very hard time cutting onions), and my lemon/lime squeezer.

Cycle/Month: 2 AL/too many
CD: 7
GKU: BBT. Sex. Vitamins.
R/R/CS: I stayed up entirely too late looking at baby stuff online. I also have planned out our announcement & how to include DD. I haven't even O'd yet. GET IT TOGETHER, SELF.
GTKY: What is your favorite kitchen gadget? Electric wine opener.
Number One: Born 06.16.2009 BFP: 01.17.2014 / MC 02.05.2014 BFP: 03.08.2014 / MMC: 05.07.2014 Dx: Partial Molar/GTD. Benched until 01.2015 Number Two: Born 07.22.2016
GKU: natural cycle while we wait for IUI in April. Temping and sex when we feel like it.
R/R/CS: I'm so annoyed with my body. Does anyone else spot for like 10 days after their period is over? It's not enough for a tampon, just enough to be irritating.
GTKY: What is your favorite kitchen gadget?My KitchenAid stand mixer! I use it all the time. I love kitchen gadgets. I've been really wanting an immersion blender for awhile now.
GKU: All the acronyms, BBT, OPK, PNV, EDSex. I started taking additional vitamins including a probiotic, a number of Bs and additional D.
R/R/CS: I'm hoping that ovulation will coincide with my RE appointment next week so maybe we can do an ultrasound to check on the maturity of my follies and maybe see which side I'll most likely be ovulating from.
GTKY: What is your favorite kitchen gadget? Not really a gadget, but I'm loving the spicy shelf. I put one in the kitchen and one in the bathroom.
What are you doing?: Sex, sex toys, seduction, BBT, OPK
R/R/CS: I think I ovulated yesterday. Tuesday and Wednesday were blaring positives and today temp went up significantly. On a different note, I have a snow day today! Hopefully, that means more time to be on here and get caught up on some house work.
GTKY: I love my Cuisinart Smart Stick. I use it at least once per week.
GKU: Sex (I hope), OPKs starting today if I go home for lunch, temping
R/R/CS: Sex is not so much happening right now. DH is understandably depressed - I had posted a few weeks back about him having a lot of pain, and he has officially been diagnosed with a condition called trigeminal neuralgia, which is also known as the suicide disease because over 25% of people who are diagnosed end up committing suicide because they can't handle the pain. He's not responding at all to the meds they gave him, and he'll likely end up having to have neurosurgery at some point. So needless to say that does not so much leave him in the mood for sex. Hoping we can at least squeeze in a time or two in the next several days, as I have O'ed on CD15 my prior two cycles according to FF.
GTKY: What is your favorite kitchen gadget? My Kitchen Aid mixer is my baby. I know a lot of people get it when they get married, but I was like, fuck that ish, I want it NOW so I got it for myself as a birthday present years ago.

My sister is somewhat bummed that she is due at the end of August and lives in SC, where Augusts are unbearable. But she was really just happy to be pregnant.

Cycle/Month: 5/4
CD: 14
GKU: all the things
R/R/CS: I hope I O soon. We're tired of the sex. Also, why are my damn temps so rocky this month? I switched to vaginal temping and I thought it'd be less rocky than this. I think I'll switch back to oral next month.
GTKY: What is your favorite kitchen gadget? We just got a Nutri Ninja Pro. I love it. I had a strawberry banana smoothie this morning. Yum!

My grandma had this. The surgery was very easy and she feels great now so don't be too worried I know people get scared when they hear brain surgery. I hope he starts feeling better soon!

Thanks for passing that along! DH has a friend who had a brother who had the surgery as well and had a great outcome. But you're right, the idea of having surgery on a nerve that comes right out of your brain stem is terrifying. We also found a few episodes of The Doctors where they discussed the surgery and had a few patients on there who all had good results.
