What are you doing to get knocked up? Sex, bbt, opk+, PNV
R/R/CS: I had such a "regular" cycle last cycle I am just *really* hoping it repeats this month.
GTKY: Last major purchase? Probably our fence. And yes, it was worth it. I don't have to see my neighbors a the time and my dog can run around freely. Yay fences.

Good morning! I hope you have a decent cycle again too requiressnacks. Long cycles can go straight to hell.
Cycle/Month: 8/12
CD: 33
What are you doing to get knocked up? BBT, sex
R/R/CS: I'm so over this cycle and want it to end. I hate my body and wish it would just do what it's supposed to. UGH I was pretty upset to still have a low temp this morning when my CM completely dried up yesterday afternoon.
GTKY: New bedroom furniture and it was so worth it! We had been using the furniture I had since middle school and it was in rough shape. Made our room feel like such an adult bedroom.
requiressnacks, sending Fenway into the yard without having to worry about him escaping is the best. Totally worth the expense! summerdonna, there is something so satisfying about having "adult" bedroom furniture. And it is not cheap!
Cycle/Month: 5
CD: 10, time to start OPKs
What are you doing to get knocked up? All the vitamins, acupuncture, and trying to relax.
R/R/CS: Last week was hell with work and finding out my mom needs another surgery to remove cancer on her kidney. I'm supposed to ovulate next week and the DS is already paid for and heading to our home so I'm not going to take this cycle off. Luckily, I scheduled 2 acupuncture sessions and a massage so hopefully this week will be better.
GTKY: What is the last "major" purchase you made? Was it worth it? New furnace and AC, best thing I've ever spent thousands on for sure!

What are you doing to get knocked up? Sex, and trying not to obsess about bbt, opks, cm, and timing
R/R/CS: None today! But that could easily change once I get out of bed...
GTKY: What is the last "major" purchase you made? Was it worth it? Hmm, I think it's been awhile, so the only thing I can think of is our Tempurpedic mattress. It was about a year ago and definitely worth it!

Cycle/Month: 7 since break/ 20 total
CD: 16
What are you doing to get knocked up? All the things
R/R/CS: My back is killing me today. I think I overdid it scrubbing the kitchen floor and baseboards after the ab workout.
GTKY: What is the last "major" purchase you made? Was it worth it? We just put in a fence too and it is awesome that the pups can run free now. Totally worth it.
R/R/CS: We haven't turned on the ac yet but I've been pretty hot wake my up in the morning. My temps are higher but not post-o high. Hopefully this doesn't mess up my chart.
GTKY: What is the last "major" purchase you made? Was it worth it? Ours was multiple purchases to make normal doors out of all our closets over the winter. When we moved in all the closets were ceiling high bifolding metal doors. Here's one of the finished closets.
Totally worth the cost since it makes the house more modern. Our bedroom closets we made sliding mirror doors.
GTKY: What is the last "major" purchase you made? Was it worth it? My car last year. Definitely worth it. My civic was way to small to haul around all of DS's stuff.

requiressnacks that's our next big purchase. We have a shock fence for our dogs that we installed last summer and our dogs go nowhere near the boundary now. But our new neighbors moved in a few weeks ago so an actual fence is now needed.
summerdonna I hope you get CH soon! Long cycles suck!
Cycle/Month: 2 AL
CD: 18
What are you doing to get knocked up? BBT, CM monitoring, PNVs, green tea, water, sex
R/R/CS: the fact that I don't think I've actually Od yet make those stupid dotted CH on CD8 really annoy me. I'm probably going to O late again this cycle. Ugh.
GTKY: We bought a new Jeep Cherokee last month. I love it so much! I've never had a car payment so that kind of sucked to pay, but was totally worth it. I had an old 1995 explorer that was falling apart before.
Morning ladies, summerdonna fx that your temps get higher and you get your crosshairs soon.
requiressnacks we totally need a new fence, so that will be our next major purchase.
Cycle/Month: 14/15
CD: 18
What are you doing to get knocked up? Letrozole, Estrace, pnv, bbt, opk, sex
R/R/CS: got my first high post-o temp this morning. Hopefully O will be confirmed in a few days.
GTKY: What is the last "major" purchase you made? Was it worth it? I bought new living room furniture, and I love how we have much more seating. It just brings that whole area together.
JustJudy I am really sorry about your mom, I hope everything works out well with the surgery.
Cycle/Month: 2 CD: 5 What are you doing?: waiting, temping R/R/CS: so this is my second day temping and I am just wondering how much day to day temp fluctuation is normal? My temp yesterday was .3 degrees (Fahrenheit) lower than this AM. I am in the beginning of my cycle so not O time yet, but just wondering if that is typical? GTKY: MH is in grad school now, and that is definitely the biggest purchase either of us have made. So far it seems really worth it, the program is great, he loves it and the job offers coming out look really good. He has a year to go still but we are done with tuition payments now!
What are you doing to get knocked up? Sex , OPKs, FF, charting CM, extra water, etc
R/R/CS: getting impatient waiting for CH. I have been sick but my CM and positive OPKs point to an ovulation between CD 12-14. My temps suggest no. DH and I both been sick so I been sleeping like crap and I hope it's just confused. I also missed temping 2 days and late 1 day due to over sleeping. Sex has been hit and miss due to sickness. I just want this cycle over with at this point.
GTKY: What is the last "major" purchase you made? Was it worth it? a tubal reversal. Yes, it will be worth it when/if ever I get a BFP!!

What are you doing to get knocked up? opks and eod sex starting next weekend
R/R/CS: Finally 'tested out' our new bed yesterday. Our old bed was super squeaky-creaky and this one was completely silent.
GTKY: What is the last "major" purchase you made? Was it worth it? We bought a house last month. Also have purchased a few things to go in it - the aforementioned bed, new washer and dryer, furnace repairs.
What are you doing to get KU? Clomid, ovidrel, daily baby aspirin, d3, omegas, PNV, monitoring, TI
RRCS: I'm really nervous about this cycle. MH is in a lot of pain and has been taking a lot of narcotics and I'm worried we won't get in much sex. I really don't want to have taken clomid for nothing.
GTKY: What is the last "major" purchase you made? Was it worth it? So we have just put half down on our kitchen cabinet and those are going to be so worth it! This whole kitchen reno is stressful but I'm excited to have a beautiful functional kitchen. Before this our last major purchase was DHs car since his old one was pretty much broken down and had a broken window. Lol totally worth it.
chocolate we take a trip with my soccer team to the beach every year. The hotel we go to uses tempurpedic beds and omg they are the best!
It's been awesome. We had a pillow top before and it was possibly too firm for me, but I had back pain all the time from it. There was no way I could sleep in or lay around in bed for awhile after waking up because my back would be killing me. I've had no back pain at all with this new mattress!
What are you doing to get knocked up? vitamins and charting for now.
R/R/CS: I generally O on CD 16 or 17. So I'm just twiddling my thumbs (and accidentally peeing on them once in awhile.)
GTKY: What is the last "major" purchase you made? Was it worth it? New couch 2 months ago. Definitely worth it. Next on the home improvement list are a new grill and a new bed frame.
JustJudy I am really sorry about your mom, I hope everything works out well with the surgery.

My temps are pretty rocky, so for me .3 is normal. (I'm not as diligent at temping at the same time as I should be) either way - I'm still able to see the O temp shift. Good luck temping!
What are you doing to get knocked up? I'm going to do OPKs again thsi cycle. tried preseed for fun last night. PNV, sex.
R/R/CS: Well my last cycle was whacked - perfect smileys on digital OPKs starting CD14-16, great timing, and then my period came with a vengence three days later (CD19). I am assuming I didn't end up ovulating at all and it was super weird. Hoping that I go back to normal for this month.
GTKY: What is the last "major" purchase you made? Was it worth it? Well my car was totaled in a big winter pileup in January. It was an SUV and a little fancier than we needed (I had gotten a good deal on it used). So with the insurance money DH and I picked out a more economical SUV AND had enough money leftover to get a new washer and dryer. It worked out wonderfully
jewel441, I've been temping three months now and my temps are very rocky. Luckily the last two months I've been able to see an obvious shift after O. I vote normal.

R/R/CS: I haven't been sleeping the greatest so I feel like my temps feel aren't accurate. Not using opks this month has been so frustrating. That's what I get for not reading the instructions.
GTKY: What is the last "major" purchase you made? Was it worth it? New tires, brakes, and drums for my truck. Very worth it because I need to drive it every day.
Happy Sunday Funday! Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

I had initial sticker shock with our tempurpedic mattress, but it was a really good decision.
What are you doing to get knocked up? All the things
R/R/CS: I got majorly spoiled by last cycle so I think that's making this one super annoying. A friend of mine told me I really need to start using preseed because it "guides the sperm". Bleh!
GTKY: What is the last "major" purchase you made? Was it worth it? I'm going to copy requiressnacks. My fence! It's not completed yet but it will be so nice to have a place for the dogs to play. It will also be nice t have a safe area for my friend's kids and hopefully our kids to play.

First thing that immediately comes to mind are the guys that direct planes out on the tarmac. They have those flashing lights just telling everyone where to go.

What are you doing to get knocked up? BBT, OPK, etc...
R/R/CS: my skin DNW (sorry this is so repetitive for me) and the traffic in sitting in right now is painful
GTYK: What is the last 'major' purchase you made? Was it worth it? I guess it would be my wedding. As much as it still hurts my bank account, it was worth every single penny! We really wanted everyone to have an amazing time and I think we succeeded.

I don't have particularly long cycles in general, but I had a few that were < 20. It can really suck. If you have more than 3 cycles in a row that are < 21, definitely check in with your doctor. I hope they start to lengthen for you.
ETA: Or you get a BFP this cycle, then you won't have to worry about it at all.
