GTKY: What Is a decision you've made that you regret? Maybe grad school. Even though I had a scholarship that covered half the tuition, it was more student loans for a degree that was probably unnecessary.

What are you doing to get KU? Getting drunk at happy hour! And all the things.
RRCS: well, WTO aside, I'm excited my hubby isn't working this weekend. We have a lot planned so it should be fun. But I wish my ute would just get this show on the road.
GTKY: Decision I regret? I wish I had maintained better friendships with people from high school and college. I really didn't put in much effort back then. And I'm also regretting those dumplings I just HAD TO HAVE at 9 pm last night. Something isn't sitting right.

What are you doing to get KU? Sex and temping
RRCS: Nothing really going on. All of the signs are there that I'm going to O soon so just happy for it to happen. We have great timing if it happens today or tomorrow.
GTKY: What Is a decision you've made that you regret? Can be big or small I regret not going away for college. I stayed in the area bc of a boyfriend and went to a local university. It was a good school but I feel like I really missed out on the college experience. I didn't live in dorms and I worked full time.

Ugh....student loans. Do they ever end?
Im closing in on the 2017 federal loan forgiveness program requirements. Once my stafford loans are forgiven, i'll only owe a gabillion dollars in private loans still. ETA: Obviously, lurking while half awake still.
RRCS: Yesterday I actually took three OPKs; one around 11am (negative), one around 230 (soooo close to being positive), and one again around 530 (super negative). Since I normally get multiple surges I'm hoping for that to be one of them and that I get a real positive in a few days as my only one. It'd be nice to not be faked out half a dozen times before I O. My chart looks nice though. All my temps right now are super stable so seeing a shift will be easy if it keeps up this way.
GTKY: I wish I registered for Ironman Chattanooga for this year. I could have bought the insurance in case we end up pregnant so I could get a full refund. Another couple of cycles and I'll be out of the running for racing it in 2016 because there won't be enough time between having a baby and the race to train properly. Just my dream on hold, no big deal.

What are you doing to get KU? Charting, waiting for FW
RRCS: I took a break from temping last cycle and I forgot to start again after my period. Hopefully I'll get enough data to get CHs this cycle.
Yesterday was extremely emotional for me. My dad found out that we've been trying for awhile and he was really upset with himself for all the comments he's said about wanting another grand-baby. I guess he was crying to my mom, which is extremely unusual. Also, a friend who has been trying for two years told me she's pregnant with #2. I'm so very happy for her (she's had such a long road), but still sad for me. I couldn't help but cry on the phone because she said she was trying to wait to tell me until we could both celebrate being pregnant together. Another friend said the same thing to me in December when she announced her pregnancy. I know it'll happen for us when the timing is right. Sorry for the long rant.
GTKY: What Is a decision you've made that you regret? I really wish I had wanted to start TFAS earlier. I don't know why I had it in my head that we'd get pregnant right away. I wanted my kids to be 2-3 yrs apart, but we're way past that now.
What are you doing to get KU? pnvs, green tea, opks, checking cm
RRCS: I seriously want to give up this cycle and just start over. Between DH being sick, now I am sick, and I can't figure out if I Oed (I don't think so), I'm just going to consider this cycle a bust. Thursday I had negative OPK that seemed to be getting stronger (when I assumed I would O on CD 14 like last cycle). My CM was also moving from watery to EWCM. That would have made sense. Then yesterday it was TOTALLY negative and I'm back to sticky CM, not even watery. I skipped a day of OPKs in there, but CD 11 would have been SUPER early to O, so I didn't think that was a big deal. So... either I Oed already (and TOTALLY missed my FW) or I haven't yet and my body is confusing the fuck out of me. I know... "tromeo, temping would help you with this problem," but I'm not sure that's a commitment I can make. I never wake up at the same time every day. BLEH. /rant
GTKY: What Is a decision you've made that you regret? Can be big or small I generally try not to live with regrets, because each bad decision has totally shaped who I am as a person. Even shamefully cheating on my ex brought me closer to DH because I was able to give him practical advice when we were friends about a situation he was going through. I'm not saying I'm proud of my bad decisions, but they are mine and I work very hard to learn from those mistakes and make myself a better person. It doesn't justify them, but I do feel it gives them meaning in the grand scheme of things.
However, I do have a tendency to insert foot in mouth-- I can be impulsive when I speak and there are a few moments in the past where I have really hurt someone in an effort to be witty. Those moments, I can safely say I regret.

What are you doing to get KU? Femara, ED sex in FW, BBT, OPK, PNV, lining supplements
RRCS: I'm doing ok today, just a little nervous about the Femara because I've never tried it. I have heard others' successes so that makes me feel better!
GTKY: What Is a decision you've made that you regret? Can be big or small. I regret ditching medical school. It is a complicated story, and I got my PhD instead, but I wish I would have gone to my interview instead of ruining my life with other "things". This is so depressing to think about :/

Edited: cause words are hard.
No, I don't think you should consider it a bust yet. It's only CD 14, and if you did O, then that's great. But I would still continue temping and watching for another spike and having sex when you can. It's not over yet, don't worry so much! I wake up multiple times over night to check on DD and my morning times are not always consistent either. I still always have an obvious shift in temps. They are dotted CH's but they are there, and the U/S confirms it each time.

What are you doing to get KU? not much yet
RRCS: temp was very high today - probably because I had a lot to drink last night, and I started tossing and turning around 3 but didn't temp until 7:30.
GTKY: What Is a decision you've made that you regret? Can be big or small. I might regret all the times I didn't go to the gym and instead sat on the couch watching reruns of Big Bang Theory. Or I might not regret that. I'm not sure.
I just typed all this crap out and it deleted. Summary: fuck cd 28, fuck temp dive and not actually ovulating, and fuck my regret. I want all the terrible food right now.

What are you doing to get KU? BBT, OPK, sex
RRCS: Still getting negative OPKs, just hoping to O soon.
GTKY: I regret causing a falling out with my best friend a couple years ago. We are working on repairing our relationship but she is the best friend I ever had and I miss her.
GTKY: What Is a decision you've made that you regret? Can be big or small. I would also have to say that I wished I had stopped my education with a bachelor's. Student loans are a beotch!

Sorry Ray! I had my FX you were getting to the next stage of this cycle. I really hope it happens soon.
Sorry you and your DH have been sick tromeo. I would definitely agree with icequeen that you shouldn't consider this cycle a bust yet. Try to keep up with the sex and maybe it will work out. Temping is just telling you that you ovulated so it isn't critical, you can still get pregnant without it. Good luck!!

Thanks, ladies. I'll try to keep the faith. If I did O already though, this cycle is definitely a bust. We haven't had baby-making sex since last cycle. This is the plague that just won't end. UGH. Let's hope I haven't Oed.

Just saw you mentioned not waking at the same time. I temp at different times and can still see a shift. I don't work so I have no real schedule. I was getting stressed out bc the alarm I was setting would wake my husband so I quickly decided to stop that. Now when I wake up I temp, as long as I've been sleeping for 3 hours. Usually this is anywhere from 3am-6am. It has made the world of difference for me.
What are you doing to get KU? Waiting for AF to leave.
RRCS: Nope!
GTKY: What Is a decision you've made that you regret? Can be big or small: I actually regret introducing my best friend to my brother in law. They are now married but our friendship fell apart as a result of them getting together. We don't even talk any more. It's a selfish regret, I know.
GTKY: What Is a decision you've made that you regret? Can be big or small. Probably dropping out of college when I was 19. I eventually did get my degree but it was a lot harder when I had to work and commute to school, etc.

What are you doing to get KU? Will start temping again tomorrow, and sex
RRCS: DH and I need to get back to meal planning, I don't like not having healthy snacks food around, and not knowing what we're going to make for lunch/dinner.
GTKY: What Is a decision you've made that you regret? Can be big or small. not spending more time cleaning up yesterday - I'm looking around and not excited for what I left myself to do today.
Sorry you had such an emotional day yesterday dke2010 I hope today is smoother sailing. I also had a friend announce she pregnant again, and of course I'm happy for her but I wish I was KU too.

What are you doing to get KU? probably just chillin' for now but maybe a little more HIO until crosshairs
RRCS: meerkatmillie appears to be correct so far with a potential O date of CD18 or 19. I'm cool wit dat. Once I get crosshairs, I'll see you guys on the other side!
GTKY: What Is a decision you've made that you regret? Dang. That's a tough one. The only thing that comes to mind right now was, in high school, thinking I needed to go to an ivy league school and obsessing over my grades. I paid so much money for application fees, multiple SAT exams, etc. (Glutton for punishment much?!) My dad convinced me to take a free ride to a public university and I am so glad that I did. All that prep was a waste of money and my sanity.
I just typed all this crap out and it deleted. Summary: fuck cd 28, fuck temp dive and not actually ovulating, and fuck my regret. I want all the terrible food right now.
Edit: words
I'm so sorry. I know you've had your hopes up for the past couple of days.
CD: 18 What are you doing to get KU? FAM to avoid RRCS: Our Saturday is off to a stressful start. DH wanted sex this morning and I didn't, and we ended up fighting about that and other things. Now I can't shake the negative morning feelings.
GTKY: What Is a decision you've made that you regret? I know this is cliché, but I try not to have regrets. I've definitely made some poor choices in my life, but I wouldn't necessarily change them, because I may not have ended up where I did or learned things I needed to. There are a few stupid drunk nights I wouldn't mind erasing given the chance though, I don't think that would make too much of a difference in the big picture.
