Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: **just because the last 11 cycles haven't led to a viable pregnancy doesn't mean this one won't** just trying to stay positive and repeating that to myself.
GTKY: Have you been in someone else's wedding? Tell us about it. Nope, still waiting for my MOH to get married since she said I'll be in her wedding party as well.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I'm happy that we're finally getting some sexy time! Hoping for super, amazing timing this cycle.
GTKY: Have you been in someone else's wedding? Tell us about it. I was a "ring bearer" in my cousin's wedding as a child. I wore a fancy dress like a flower girl, but carried the pillow with rings. They didn't have a flower girl. I was also a bridesmaid in one of my friend's wedding 7 years ago. Next month I'm going to be the MOH in my best friend's wedding, while my daughter will be one of two flower girls. I'm excited since we'll be flying down there and making it into a mini vacation.
ETA: Hang in there, morwen! I keep telling myself the same thing. One of my friends just got pregnant after trying for 23 months, so it does happen.
What are you doing to GKU? Nothing yet. Still sick.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Headed to the dr because my chest cold isn't improving.
GTKY: Have you been in someone else's wedding? I was a bridesmaid at my dad and stepmom's wedding when I was 15. I was the Matron of Honor for my sister in August. I did both her bustles (her dress required two) with my knee in a brace. It took a couple extra minutes but it was nice to hang out with her and her new H after the ceremony before heading into the cocktail hour.

Cycle/Month: 6/7
CD: 6
What are you doing to GKU? Not much right now - taking a PNV and waiting for my cycle to get more exciting.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: My temp was really weird this morning.
GTKY: Have you been in someone else's wedding? Tell us about it.
I have been in a lot of weddings - there was a point where I was feeling like "always a bridesmaid, never a bride", and then of course I met my H after I turned 30.
My favorite wedding was probably when I was my sister's MOH. I was 21 and had just graduated college and had no idea what the F was going on. But I managed to plan a great shower, bachelorette party and do all my MOH duties. (sadly she's no longer married, but that's a whole different ball of wax). Side note - I very much prefer attending weddings, rather than participating in weddings.
Hiya! I've kind of been bad about posting in here since we started TTA. I guess I don't really know where I fit lol but I'll play today anyway. My chart is freakin beautiful this month so far. Figures lol.
GTKY: Yes! I was a bridesmaid in my sister's wedding when I was 14 and I am the MOH in my friend's wedding coming up this fall. I have to say, being a MOH is way more fun than being a bride lol
GTKY: Have you been in someone else's wedding? Tell us about it. Yup. Bridesmaid in my best friend's wedding and maid of honor in my brother's wedding. Both weddings were a blast but a lot of work.
What are you doing to GKU? Temping, will start EOD sex in the next few days
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Nothing really! Just trying to not get myself too worked up or stressed over TTC, I am just trying to not think about it.
GTKY: Have you been in someone else's wedding? Tell us about it. Quite a few! I was a flower girl in my parent's wedding when I was 4, I love the pictures from that! I was a bridesmaid for my college roommate and her wedding was 2 weeks before mine, so that was a little hectic but very fun! I was also a bridesmaid for my cousin who is one of my best friends. I was a "groomswomen" for a male friend from college- my husband and I are both good friends with him so he had us both in the wedding. I even went to the bachelor party for that one! It was a lot of fun.
Cycle/Month: 15 CD: 8 What are you doing to GKU?: The usual. Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Nothing much today. I took some big steps this weekend to alleviate some IRL stress, and thankfully the people involved all seem to be responding positively and are being very supportive. I feel better already. GTKY: Have you been in someone else's wedding? Tell us about it. I've been in 3 as a bridesmaid. First one was interesting, because the brides parents were being assholes. Also the dresses came back the wrong color. But at the end of the day they got married, and are still happy, so that's what matters. Second wedding the bride was very chill, let us pick our own dresses as long as they were black. Had a great time and even hooked up with a hot guest Third wedding was my bro's. It was lovely, my shoes were fabulous but murdered my feet, and MH (BF at the time) wound up asking my dad for permission to marry me after the reception.
What are you doing to GKU? Just BBT for now. Going to start OPK's around CD18.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I took a break from taking my temperature over the past week. Hoping to get back into the routine now that AF is done.
GTKY: Have you been in someone else's wedding? Tell us about it. - The only wedding I've ever been in was my mother's when I was 11. I was a Jr. bridesmaid and it was fun, but it was such a casual wedding. I've never really had the whole "bridesmaid experience", meaning bachelorette party, bridal shower, picking out dresses, etc..
What are you doing to GKU? I usually avoid NSAIDs as much as possible while TTC. I'm going to be a rebel and take them to control the pain in my hip and back. Take that, body!
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: Nothing today.
GTKY: Have you been in someone else's wedding? Tell us about it.
I've been in several. I'm not sure what you want to know? They are weddings, haha. Weddings are kind of all the same. Special and unique, just like every other wedding.

What are you doing to GKU? Sex when we can and checking CM
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: We hit two days during the projected window!! Today should be O day just going off of secondary signs and past cycles
GTKY: Have you been in someone else's wedding? Tell us about it. I was in one wedding and honestly it was the worst experience ever!! The bride was a total bridezilla.
What are you doing to GKU? BBT, CP, CM, OPK, eod sex until closer to fw, then ED
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks:
GTKY: Have you been in someone else's wedding? Tell us about it.
I'm having issues with rrcs line. But I got nothing either. So no diff. Lol
Yes. I've been in 2 weddings. The summer I got married, 8 other couples got married as well. Let's just say, IT WAS INSANE!! But I got married the week after my good friend. Two Friday's later, my other friend got married. She had a huge bridal party!! Then in December the last wedding of the year happened. My favorite part!! She forgot to brush her teeth or bring tooth brush to the church! So I scrounged up some toothpaste and had her use her finger to brush her teeth so her poor husband didn't get overnight breath. Yuck! To this day we laugh about it.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Nothing much. It's hitting me kind of hard that we're on cycle 11. Like I said, family isn't making this any easier. Between my cousin who knows everything because he's the oldest and my sister who knows everything because she got pregnant accidentally, I don't have anyone besides H to talk to IRL without having someone make me feel like my feelings aren't valid. I'm so glad I've got this place.
GTKY: Have you been in someone else's wedding? Tell us about it. Nope. I've only been to a couple of weddings in my entire life.
What are you doing to GKU?: Sex, praying, standing on my head...
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I think I am finally done bleeding.
GTKY: Have you been in someone else's wedding? Tell us about it.: I was a Maid of Honor for my BFF and a brides Maid for a college friend. Both brides were easy going and the dresses were nice. Unfortunately, for my BFF's wedding I was less than 1 month postpartum/csection and still kinda swollen and my face was fatter than it was when I was 9 months pregnant. So, the only bad thing is there is a huge photo of us framed in her house with me looking huge. Oh well.
What are you doing to GKU? Bbt, EOD sex, cm if I remember
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: nada, I'd like to O before this weekend.
GTKY: Have you been in someone else's wedding? Tell us about it. Yes, twice. One was for my cousin, it was bad. The other one was for a friend and I got in trouble for leaving the reception early because I was sick...
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I have a question for you lovely ladies. I went to the Drs today for an unrelated TTC appt and asked them about my short LP phase (usually 8 or 9 days). I asked if I could get my progesterone tested. She told me Yes and that I go on Day 21. I told her that I haven't even ovulated yet and I usually don't ovulate until day 21-24. She told me to go on day 21 anyways. WTH?! That doesn't make any sense to me. Should I go on day 21 or 7dpo?
GTKY: Have you been in someone else's wedding? Tell us about it. Yes! I've been in 4 weddings and I'll be in 2 more this Summer and another one next Spring. All of my experiences have been great, no complaints!

You should definitely go on 7dpo. That OB is being a dumb dumb.

Cycle/Month: 6 since break/19 total
CD: 11
What are you doing to GKU? PNV, Preseed, all the sex, Femara, ultrasound and trigger on Thursday and IUI on Friday.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Hoping this cycle works for us.
GTKY: Have you been in someone else's wedding? Tell us about it. I was a bridesmaid for a high school friend of mine. My daughter, on the other hand, has been a flower girl 4 times already.
What are you doing to GKU? BBT, PNV, OPK, EOD sex, checking CM
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: No signs of O coming anytime soon. I usually have about a week of fertile CM before O, so it's going to be a little while still. I'm annoyed.
GTKY: Have you been in someone else's wedding? Tell us about it. I was MOH in my sister's wedding, a bridesmaid in an HS friend's wedding, and did a reading in my brother's wedding.
What are you doing to GKU? BBT only at the moment.
R/R/CS temp is still low. How frustrating! I'm now away from DH because I'm at a conference till wed. So who knows what's up with my body. I had positive opk on CD 13 & 14. Feeling bummed!
GTKY haven't been in anyone's wedding. My sis got married at the court house so no big wedding. So the only wedding I've been in is when I was the bride, my own wedding. Does that count?

Cycle/Month: 2/3
CD: 27
What are you doing to GKU?: Temp, CM, CP, OPKs, ED sex.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I wasn't really caring about a BFP this month, but now I'm crossing my fingers that it happens. I don't know....In other news, DS is teasing the dogs by taking their leashes out and walking to the door and then running away giggling when they get excited.
GTKY: Have you been in someone else's wedding? Tell us about it: Yep! I was a bridesmaid at my brother's wedding and it was good. I was the youngest by far (just graduated high school) and at the reception, a friend of my SIL's family (one of those that no one really likes but they are invited everywhere because Polish people must stick together) kept trying to get my dad to agree to marry one of his sons O.O I was also a bridesmaid for a very good childhood friend last fall. We had so much fun! It was relaxing. I ended up helping out a lot more than I expected since her MOH wasn't in the country so I was her stand-in so to speak, until the wedding.

What are you doing to GKU? Bbt.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I knocked my fever thermometer behind my bed yesterday and was forced to start using the bbt I never opened. Probably a good thing.
GTKY: Have you been in someone else's wedding? Tell us about it. I was maid of honor at my older sister's wedding. I wore a beautiful purple dress and the ceremony was in South Florida. My speech wasn't bad but I regret not putting more time into preparing for it. On a side note my younger sister got engaged this past Saturday so I might get to be involved in another wedding soon.

What are you doing to GKU? BBT, OPKs
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: still on my period but I think Im about done. No Birthday sex for this girl.
GTKY: Have you been in someone else's wedding? Tell us about it. I have been in 9 weddings total (not counting my own obviously). 2 of those was as a flower girl. 6 of those as a bridesmaid and 1 as a personal attendant.
morwen, huge hugs, honey. Try to stay as positive as you can. The alternative won't get you anywhere closer to where you want anyway. @wallflwr926, I'm so sorry to hear this! I hope you get some answers from the Dr and feel better soon. requiressnacks, I see an open circle, is due to different temp timing? It's still super early in the cycle so I wouldn't read too much into it. Mine jumps around a lot at the beginning, too. cakewench, I'm so glad you are managing the stress better and have a good support system. ohinvrtedworld, yay! Hope to see you there. piccyami, I feel for you. We've got your back! I hope you can also lean on YH for support, too. Congrats on your house, @katerli! paloslee, FX that you get back in time for your FW!

What are you doing to GKU? BBT, CBE advanced digital opks, EOD
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I got a peak reading on my advanced digital this morning! I missed yesterday's opportunity in our EOD schedule but I hope that didn't make much a difference. No temp shift yet, but if these opks work as good as they say they do my shift should be tomorrow hopefully.
GTKY: Have you been in someone else's wedding? Tell us about it. I was MOH for my cousin's wedding once. I was a back up because her BFF couldn't make it. I know I was not her first choice, which is fine. And all her sisters were bridesmaids and she didn't want to pick one sister over the other and get the other two mad at her. That was the only time I stood up in a wedding.
