Cycle/Month: 11/11

CD: 20

What are you doing differently this month to GKU: O'ing much later than usual. Other than that, same old same old.

Bitches/Brags/Chart Questions: it would be really cool if my body would O someday soon. I got s super squinter on my OPK this morning so hopefully it will be in the next few days.

GTKY-Tell us your fondest memory of your mother: at one point my mom was working part time. She would make huge batches of cookie dough and freeze it. And every day she would bake 6 cookies (1 for myself and each of my sisters and 1 for mom). So when we got off the school bus and walked in the door there would be cookies just coming out of the oven. And we would all sit together and talk about our days and eat our cookies. There's something about walking into a house smelling like cookies fresh out of the oven that makes everyone happy.

Cycle/Month: 10/11

CD: 16

What are you doing differently this month to GKU: differently? Nothing new, just sex, BBT, OPKs, CM

Bitches/Brags/Chart Questions: none

GTKY-Tell us your fondest memory of your mother: Hmm just one? My mom is one of my best friends. I wouldn't say this is my "fondest" memory, but something that always brings me back to my childhood and makes me think of my mom: Trident gum. She always use to let me dig around in her purse, and she always had Trident. And of course she always let me have a piece.

[summerdonna]

I got CHs this morning so I'm headed to TWW. Hope to see everyone there soon!

Cycle/Month: 7/7

CD: 2

What are you doing differently this month to GKU: Waiting for AF to leave. I debated letting go this cycle and not bbt, or maybe just not during the 2ww. I haven't fully decided. I'm sure I'll give in and do it all- bbt, OPK, etc.

Bitches/Brags/Chart Questions: My rave is that I had all the drinks last night. My rant is that I had all the drinks last night.

GTKY-Tell us your fondest memory of your mother: I always love to look back on Christmas growing up, and how my mom was always surprised that we knew what we were getting. She wised up eventually and kept all gifts at her office until Christmas.

[kaliRN]

mustloveerica FX you are gearing up to O soon! I love the cookie story. That is such a cool thing your mom did!
jags8 my mom is one of my best friends too. It's a wonderful gift.
summerdonna yay for CH! GL in the TWW!

Cycle/Month: 19/21

CD: 3

What are you doing to get KU? Daily baby aspirin, clomid starting tonight, ovidrel after monitoring us, vit D, omega vitamins, BBT once AF leaves, and lots of sex.

RRCS: having AWEFUL cramps this cycle! Hope AF leaves soon!!!

GTKY: fondest memory of my mom: my mom used to run her fingers through my hair and over my head in the most simple ways but it felt so amazing and it would practically put me to sleep. If I was ever upset I would lay my head in her lap and she would do it. She still does to this day when we see eachother and if I'm upset but it was the most wonderful feeling and only my mom gets it right. DH has tried and can't can't figure it out lol

[fepon2424]

Cycle/Month: 2:2

CD: 12

What are you doing differently this month to GKU: temping, FF, charting CM, OPKs, pre-seed,sex EOD,

Bitches/Brags/Chart Questions: DH has been sick the past few days and I am ready for him to get better. My temps are all over the place and I missed 2 days in a row (up and down all night with hubby so only getting 1-2 hrs solid).

GTKY-Tell us your fondest memory of your mother: the first time I ever wore make up. I was a tom boy growing up maybe because I have 2 older brothers and I wanted to be like them. She dressed me up for pictures in a dress . I remember her telling me that I was a beautiful little girl and I had to show the world how pretty I was instead of running around in camouflage with mud all over my face. She explained that make up was a "girls mud." She cried when she was all done. This was big for me. I would still be wearing camouflage pants and T's had she not stole me from my dad and brothers influence. I still say I need to put on my "girl mud" when I am referring to makeup. Lol

[eblackmd]

Cycle/Month: 3/2

CD: 13

What are you doing differently this month to GKU: first full month of temping! Not expecting to O for awhile (I tend to have long cycles) but charting CM, using OPKs, and EOD sex until then

Bitches/Brags/Chart Questions: Nothing really, just excited to be on vacation!

GTKY-Tell us your fondest memory of your mother: Making her a grandmother. She loves DD so much, and it has added so much to our relationship too

[teraiin]

Cycle/Month: 6

CD: 19

What are you doing differently this month to GKU: nothing different than the usual.

Bitches/Brags/Chart Questions: another small temp increase. Bleh. We will just keep HIO I guess.

GTKY-Tell us your fondest memory of your mother: baking pies and cookies with my mom. It was so much fun.

[singingsea]

Cycle/Month: 7

CD: CD 7

What are you doing differently this month to GKU: sex

Bitches/Brags/Chart Questions: got nothing.

GTKY-Tell us your fondest memory of your mother: it's hard to think of just one so I'll go with more recent. After Kieran was born my mom and I got so much closer. I mean I was always close with my mom but I just understood her more. After he was born she'd come over so I could nap (DS cluster fed like crazy). Anytime I needed help or advice she was there.

[wowcheezits]

Cycle/Month: 10

CD: 12

What are you doing differently this month to GKU: Pomegranate juice and green tea, and staying EOD. Last cycle I missed a day and it screwed up the pattern.

Bitches/Brags/Chart Questions: I'm disappointed this cycle. Last cycle I was getting high fertility readings on my adv. OPKs as early as CD11, but this time around I'm only getting zeros. But then again, it didn't matter that I had high readings, because I'm still not pregnant.

GTKY-Tell us your fondest memory of your mother: She was there for me during my worst times, and still is. On top of dealing with her health struggles, providing medical care to her husband, she still finds time to save my ass when I need. So my fondest memory is her strength.

[kayladawn91]

Cycle/Month: 2 AL

CD: 11

What are you doing differently this month to GKU: I'm trying my best to monitor CM which I haven't done before and also drinking green tea. I'm also doing the usual: BBT, sex, drinking water, PNV.

Bitches/Brags/Chart Questions: none

GTKY: I can't think of one story in particular. However, I remember my wedding day. Spending that day getting ready with my mother was a great memory.

[Deleted]

Cycle/Month: 11/10

CD: 6

What are you doing differently this month to GKU: I will be trying out a CBFM to see if I gives me a different reading on OPKs.

Bitches/Brags/Chart Questions: My temps are being weird. It's probably because I had a late night beer.

GTKY-Tell us your fondest memory of your mother: When my Dad went out of town on a business trip my Mom would put on fun motown music and dance with me and my sister in the living room.
Going to the Chapel is one of my favorite songs because of this.

ETA: pressed send to soon.
ETA2: FX for darker lines mustloveerica
FX for summerdonna

Cycle/Month: 8/9

CD: 7

What are you doing differently this month to GKU: acupuncture weekly.

Bitches/Brags/Chart Questions: I don't want to go to the gym. I haven't been in soooo long because of my back and I'm scared to go.

GTKY-Tell us your fondest memory of your mother: Probably rubbing my back while I fell asleep.

[ohinvrtedworld]

Cycle/Month:6

CD: 18

What are you doing differently this month to GKU: just being lazy and not temping, watching cm

Bitches/Brags/Chart Questions: nothing today!

GTKY-Tell us your fondest memory of your mother: when I was a moody and dramatic teen, I still wanted to watch Gilmore Girls with her every Tuesday night when it was on. (Nice cliche mother-daughter show, right?) When I am home I still like watching our shows and chatting together and drinking wine. She's always felt like a friend, not just my mom.

Cycle/Month: 5 (3 AL - benched)

CD: 9

What are you doing differently this month to GKU: I'm adding B6 to hopefully lengthen my LP.

Bitches/Brags/Chart Questions: I partied too hard last night.

GTKY-Tell us your fondest memory of your mother: when she read to us as kids and would bake all day for holidays.

[achromia]

Cycle/Month: 12/11

CD: 2

What are you doing differently this month to GKU: Nothing, I suppose. Same old temping and charting; eventually all the sex.

Bitches/Brags/Chart Questions: I got nothin'.

GTKY-Tell us your fondest memory of your mother: My favorite memories are when we were just relaxing together - sitting in her sewing room watching I Love Lucy while she worked on her latest craft project.

[blabbermouth]

Cycle/Month: 3

CD: 10

What are you doing differently this month to GKU: Nothing different this month, just trying not to be in a rush to get KU.

Bitches/Brags/Chart Questions: Just been having a nice relaxing weekend with DH; we went for a long bike ride yesterday and found a new cafe. Figured that's one thing we will still be able to do with a kid!

GTKY-Tell us your fondest memory of your mother: My mom is just a really calm happy person. And even when I was in high school she'd always make my breakfast! Eggo waffles for the win

[youdontsay]

Thanks for starting mustloveerica!

Cycle/Month: 7/8

CD: 12

What are you doing differently this month to GKU: bbt, sex...

Bitches/Brags/Chart Questions: today is tough. It doesn't help that I had to cancel brunch plans with my mom so I couldn't drown my sorrows in mimosas. MH and I got into a huge fight in front of my parents, I hate crying in front of my parents because we're not emotional but I couldn't hold back. It sucks so bad that MH doesn't understand how I feel today.

GTKY-Tell us your fondest memory of your mother: we spent two weeks in Europe last year and it was incredible

[ohinvrtedworld]

youdontsay, I'm so sorry for your fight and how uncomfortable it was with your parents being there. I come from a really emotionally stifled family so I can imagine a little of how that must feel. I hope you and your H can work things out and that something happens that redeems today for you. Hugs.

CD: 9

What are you doing differently this month to GKU: EOD sex

Bitches/Brags/Chart Questions: This morning H got me doughnuts from a local bakery and a s'mores frappachino all before I woke up. He's a keeper.

GTKY-Tell us your fondest memory of your mother:
My mom and I have very different personalities so I had a lot of teenage rage against her back in the day. She would snap back but man that poor woman put up with a lot haha. My mom would always take us on fun trips during summers since she was a teacher. She knew all the cool field trip spots and was really good at making it fun.

[mishy2010]

Awww mustloveerica that's so sweet!
kaliRN my mom, grandmom, and great grandmom all did the same thing. You're right, husbands just aren't the same
I'm sorry about your fight youdontsay. It's so hard when you're trying to get your SO to understand how you feel and they just don't. I'm the same way with not ever really being emotional but I completely understand how frustrating it is when you don't see eye to eye.

What are you doing differently this month to GKU:
nothing really


Bitches/Brags/Chart Questions:
 I wasn't going to use opk's this month because I figured my fertile window would fall smack in the middle of H's surgery so there wasn't really a need too.  But I did anyway because I need to know al the things.  So last night it was super super faint.  I tested again this morning and it was waaaay darker- not positive, but I'm guessing I'll get a positive in the next day if I get one.  So this means this is great for timing, if I can convince H to have more sex with me.... 


GTKY-Tell us your fondest memory of your mother:
I'm going to have to think on that one. 

[shadesofgold]

Big hugs, youdontsay. We get you.

[raelien23]

youdontsay - public fights are the worst - I'm sorry that happened.

Cycle/Month: 4/5

What are you doing differenlty this month to get knocked up: Taking a laissez faire approach - it would be great if we gku but it wouldn't be as perfect timing as next cycle or the next one, so it feels good to not be all Go! Go! Go! I guess I'm just working on being more zen about the whole thing.

Bitches/Brags/Chart Questions: My dog is sick He's having a hard time holding food down. If he's not better by tomorrow, vet it is.

Fondest Memory: Hmmm... for my college graduation we went on a week long road trip together through Sonoma. It was awesome.

What are you doing differently this month to GKU: It's all new to us!

Bitches/Brags/Chart Questions: As with every day this week, I'm hoping that today will be O day.

GTKY-Tell us your fondest memory of your mother: When we would go shopping, we always stopped at Jack In The Box and got egg rolls. It's was our special little secret.

[JustJudy]

Cycle/Month: 5/5

CD: 3

What are you doing differently this month to GKU: added baby aspirin, folate, CoQ10, Vit D, and Vit B6. Doing insem at home rather than a clinic this month.

Bitches/Brags/Chart Questions: nothing today.

GTKY-Tell us your fondest memory of your mother:
Making our family's traditional Italian Christmas cookies together every year since I can remember.

[youdontsay]

ohinvrtedworld, mishy2010, getzystark, shadesofgold, raelien23 thank you so so much for the support. Today was just crappy, BUT our new floors are down and they look amazing.

I talked to MH about going to a marriage counselor, MH thinks I'm stressed and doesn't think we need marriage counseling so early (we got married in December) but when my parents leave I'll want to talk more. We need this, we need support with stuff we're going through.

Sorry for the long story! Just had the vent.

[thelittleredm]

Cycle/Month: 3/4

CD: 15

What are you doing differently this month to GKU: Nothing, really. I took an OPK early last night because I had copious amounts of CM that was borderline EWCM. It was soooo close to positive! Oh well. This seems to happen every cycle. I imagine I'll be O'ing about the same time as usual. My body works like clockwork when it comes to when cycles will start and O will happen :/

Bitches/Brags/Chart Questions: My chart is pretty this month! My temps have regulated so much nicer this cycle than any previous cycle. Maybe this will be a good thing Also, I played the mom card today and forced DH to go out looking at houses for sale. I didn't think there would be any open houses but we found two. Loved the first house and the backyard would be the only thing that would really need to be fixed. The second one was WAY over priced. It was ridiculous.

GTKY-Tell us your fondest memory of your mother: My mom was (and is) always very involved in my life growing up. Not in a bad way, she was just always involved in activities I did. She always played an active role as a show choir mom and took over dealing with paperwork and finalizing costume and makeup and attended all but one of my choir trips out of state. She always drove myself and other teammates during sports in middle school to all the meets and games we played (we didn't have a home gym to play any at), and she hosted many youth group nights for church. And she was my fill-in labor coach when DH couldn't be around because he was deployed. Luckily, he got back 12 hours before I went into labor, but she was a great asset since he had no idea what he was getting into.
