GKU: Regular stuff, plus I saw a new OBGYN yesterday who prescribed me some anxiety meds that are safe while TTC and pregnant. She is also sending me in for blood work to check for a genetic predisposition to blood clotting (family history) because apparently this is risky and dangerous during pregnancy. I also have to get tested to see if I have the antibodies from the rubella vaccine, since apparently it's a thing again.
R/R/CS: This new medicine has me feeling like I'm high and on an underwater roller coaster. I can't seem to get my shit together today.
GTKY: I'd say go see the Arch, and then go to a Cardinal's game. Also have some delicious BBQ at Pappy's and tour Anheuser Busch Brewery.

Sorry for anyone having a poop day for various TTC reasons
@erin2021, I've been doing OPKs around 1 pm and 5 pm when I test twice. For me, the 5 pm was the + last cycle and yesterday it was pretty darn close. I drink a ton of water, though, so neither is probably as concentrated as it could be.
Cycle/month: 5
CD: 18
What are you doing to get KU? Sex, green tea, peeing on stuff
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: gimme my CH soon, plz! My CM has been all the right stuff the past couple of days so I must be close if today isn't it.
GTKY: If someone was going to vacation where you live (or in your state/area in general), what 1 thing would you tell them is a "must do". Ex: any national parks, museums, restaurant etc.
There's so much fun stuff! I'd say go to a Tigers or Red Wings game for sure, and go to Greektown for saganaki. The Henry Ford Museum has some really neat things to see. Belle Isle has America's oldest aquarium. Lots of fabulous architecture to see around town.
ohinvrtedworld, I'm starting to drink a lot more, especially because I know I don't normally drink enough. I was thinking of taking them at 11am, and then 5pm. Do I still have sex every other day around when I would be fertile, and then again if I get a positive?

If you wanted to cover all your bases you could do that!
What are you doing to GKU? Bbt OPK sex pnvs green tea
R/R/CS well I got a positive OPK last nite and then again the morning. So I'm waiting for temps. Today's temp still a little average. Gonna HIO as much as we can until I leave Sunday for my conference.
GTKY well leaving in so cal there is so much to see. All the amusement parks Disneyland of course. But we have great beaches, mountain areas, and most tourist would want to go to Hollywood (not very nice BTW)

Quesssstion - where do you park for the airport? We are flying out of stl next weekend and I'm seeing $7 a day - didn't know if there is a local secret.

No local secret that I know of. I usually do the $7 parking. It's not bad though, the shuttle is pretty efficient.
What are you doing to get KU? Sex, water, BBT, PNV
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: I really thought yesterday or the day before was my O day, but my temp is still staying the same so who knows. As it is this is the latest O day I've had. Bodies are weird.
GTKY: If someone was going to vacation where you live (or in your state/area in general), what 1 thing would you tell them is a "must do". Ex: any national parks, museums, restaurant etc. : I'm a Nashville groupie so I totally think everyone should go downtown and experience it. While there please eat Jack's BBQ. You will not be disappointed! Then go in any of the bars on Lower Broad and experience great music and a great atmosphere! Then the next morning go eat Pancake Pantry and go into a food coma.

Cycle/month: 9
CD: 11
What are you doing to get KU? I'm using the CBE advanced digital OPKs and hittin' that EOD
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: So I got a flashing smiley this morning so that's messing with my head. I wasn't expecting to get any kind of smiley after the 2nd day of testing, but this morning that smiley was flashing. So if I can find time, I am going to read up on what that means. I think the flashy smiley means I'm fertile. So even though I feel compelled to hump it out ED, I am going to try my hardest to keep it EOD coz ED was not working for us.
GTKY: If someone was going to vacation where you live (or in your state/area in general), what 1 thing would you tell them is a "must do". Ex: any national parks, museums, restaurant etc I would tell them to visit WI Dells. They have lots of attractions, indoor and outdoor water parks. Tell them to visit Milwaukee, go to a Brewer's game, tour some breweries, wineries, go to Green Bay and tour the Packer Hall of Fame. I dunno. I think WI is kinda boring, imo.
mustloveerica, I'm no help on the synthroid but I hope it works and doesn't negatively impact your fertility! kaliRN so sorry again about the CP and ((HUGS)) to you and @wallflwr926 for CD 1. morwen, that's never a fun phone call. I'm sorry, sweetie. At least you will be getting the help you need now. Whoooop! for CH's teraiin and @303sunshine cakewench, maybe you should consider talking to your therapist about this at your next appt? I forgot if you are still going or not... Sparkly, from what I remember in my clinicals, too many B vitamins can cause nerve damage particularly in the neurotransmitters, so that might be something to consider. I hope you feel better after trying a cycle or two without the extra B6. akraus2015, I'm sorry the meds are making you feel loopy. Maybe you can lower the dose when you check in with your psych or you will get accustomed and tolerate it better with some more time. FX for CH's soon, @ohinvertedwrld and paloslee!
Cycle/month: 9/8
CD: 7
What are you doing to get KU? Tamoxifen, Follistim, Trigger, IUI, prog/estrog, BBT, PNV
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: Tonight I start the oral meds and I'm more than ready to go.
GTKY: If someone was going to vacation where you live (or in your state/area in general), what 1 thing would you tell them is a "must do". Ex: any national parks, museums, restaurant etc.?: I live in the middle of nowhere between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, so I would say go to the L'Auberge Casino and Hotel in Baton Rouge and Cafe Du Monde and pretty much any restaurant in the French quarter in New Orleans is phenomenal. I prefer to go during any time other than Mardi Gras or Saints games.

:::Stuck in the box:::
Yes, this is true. I read that on the newbie blog and then did some additional research on what the "safe upper limit" for supplementing was before I started taking it. So I stayed within that, but still didn't want to over-do it, which is why I did one month on, one month off. I read that it's not necessarily long-term/permanent damage, and also only happens from extended periods of taking too much. I really don't know if this is why I haven't been feeling great, but I figured it's better to be safe than sorry at this point!

Cycle/Month: 2/3 CD: 22 What are you doing to GKU: Temping, CM, CP, OPKs, sex (finally!) RRCS: We have decided on a name for our new puppy! We normally wait until we've had the pet for a few days but for some reason, this one just feels right. Her name is Skittle, interchangeable with Skittles. GTKY: Hmm. Toughie. It really depends on the time of year. Fall is probably the best time to come here and if they did, depending on when of course, I would highly suggest attending the Balloon Fiesta. There's a reason it's one of the most photographed events in the world! I would also highly suggest they hunt around and find a balloon pilot who has space to take you up! I hate hate hate heights and it isn't something I enjoy doing personally, but I'm one of the very few and it really is an experience people should have. In fact, most people who have a heights fear don't have a problem in the balloon because it's generally the air movement in your face that triggers said fear (people tend to fear falling more than the height) and since you move with the air in a balloon, you don't get that fear trigger. The green chile festivals are always yummy to go to, too. And there are SO many national forest parks all around that are fun to go to. I'm a big food person, so I'd probably give a list of local places that must be eaten at.
What are you doing to get KU? BBT, OPK, PNV, Sex soon
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: nothing
GTKY: If someone was going to vacation where you live (or in your state/area in general), what 1 thing would you tell them is a "must do". Ex: any national parks, museums, restaurant etc I live in a very rural area, but there's an Amish community nearby that always intrigues people. Their furniture is beautiful and the baked goods are delicious.
Quesssstion - where do you park for the airport? We are flying out of stl next weekend and I'm seeing $7 a day - didn't know if there is a local secret.
No local secret that I know of. I usually do the $7 parking. It's not bad though, the shuttle is pretty efficient.
Ok - I've flown into stl once because my flight got cancelled and I wanted to get home. DH drove 6 hours that night to pick me up and he used the shuttle to get to the pickup gate.
We flew out of Nashville once and used a groupon and it was nice. They picked us up/dropped us off at the right gate and then had our car ready for us when we got back (no remembering where we parked)
icequeen - I go weekly, since I have generalized anxiety disorder. She and I discuss this a lot, but I hamper myself by not discussing how I really feel with MH. Now that I finally did, I think I/we can move forward (I really dislike confrontation, and am a peacemaker by nature, which is sometimes good and sometimes bad. When I internalize everything and don't say what sometimes needs to be said, that's bad . I'm really seeing that I can't keep doing that - not just with MH, with others too. It's been an uphill battle, but I think I'm turning a corner on that front, finally!)

That's great! Good for you. I know it's hard bringing these things up with YH; I am fearful and anxious about it too. Sometimes it helps me to write everything down before I go to him and talk because I just end up getting upset and catastrophize everything, and DH is sitting on pins and needles every time I say I need to talk to him about something important. And then I just chicken out sometimes, too. Seems you are doing good!
What are you doing to get KU? BBT, OPKs, PNV, Folgard, Lovenox, Baby Asp, seeex
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: Boooooooored
GTKY: If someone was going to vacation where you live (or in your state/area in general), what 1 thing would you tell them is a "must do". Ex: any national parks, museums, restaurant etc: Well, there is always Six Flags, Hurricane Harbor, Fort Worth Stockyards, eat at Joe T Garcias, Big Ben National Park, visit San Antonio's River Walk and Alamo, avoid Dallas like the plague during rush hour, the same with Austin, Sea World, Sam Houston, NASA (space center), South Padre Island, if you like the Cowboys you can tour AT&T Stadium, that all I got.....
What are you doing to get KU? All of the acronyms, plus aspirin, folgard, and bromelain (after O)
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: I've got a recurrent UTI that earned me a referral to a urologist. This could impact TTC until we can get this under control.
GTKY: If someone was going to vacation where you live (or in your state/area in general), what 1 thing would you tell them is a "must do". Ex: any national parks, museums, restaurant etc. There's not much to do in my area, but in my state, I'd say Pike Place Market and the Olympic National Park.

I'm going to New Orleans over Memorial Day weekend and Cafe Du Monde is on my list! (And it is a very long list... I think I will need to bring primarily stretchy pants for this vacation.)

Let me tell you, you will NOT regret anything. If you want a really nice meal, go to Brennan's or Antoine's, for something a little more casual I would highly recommend Red Fish Grill and Oceana. The only thing I really don't like about the French quarter is hasn't been very clean and often smells like piss and vomit Not just during Mardi Gras.
What are you doing to get KU? Started cd 1..so need to wait to do anything

kcones88, my dad is from Maryland and I grew up vacationing in Ocean City! We always went to Assateague Island! I haven't been there in many years. Would love to go back! I LOVE Maryland crab!
Cool! I went to Assateague as a kid and was completely mesmerized by the ponies. Unfortunately, I don't eat any seafood and I hate the smell of Old Bay so I can't speak for the Maryland crabs. But my husband and DD certainly like them. I'll stick to my St. Mary's county traditional stuffed ham
What are you doing to get KU? OPKs later and the secks.
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: I wanted sex today! Aaaaand I got shut down. Lol. It's okay though. Tomorrow is a big day. He did however offer to "help me out." What a gentleman.

wowcheezits going to a game at Lambeau Field is on MH's bucket list
EatsRitz Mt Saint Helens is in WA, right? Or is it OR? I guess I could google. As a kid, my grandpa took us up the mtn until snow made us turn around. My childhood self remembers thinking it was so fun and cool.
Yep, it's in WA. That's a fun memory! We used to go on field trips to the visitor's center when I was in school.
