Cycle/month: 7/8
Cycle Day: 15
What are you doing to GKU: All the things!
R/R/CS: This is the fun part of WTO, for me.
GTKY: Tell us about your prom dress and date. Would you wear it again? Go with the same date?
I went to a few proms - the most memorable was when I was a freshman a senior asked me to go. We ended up dating for a while, until he went off to college. My dress was short, black and really cute! I would totally do that night over again. (I went to a few subsequent proms but they were terrible. I don't event think I went to my own senior prom)

Cycle/month: Cycle 5 (3 AL - benched)
Cycle Day: 19
What are you doing to GKU: vitamins and charting while benched.
R/R/CS: A moment of silence, please, for all the wondfos sacrificed this cycle.
GTKY: Tell us about your prom dress and date. Would you wear it again? Go with the same date?
My dress was perfect and I'm proud of my teenage self for choosing it - a classic red satin halter dress, mermaid silhouette. It was very old Hollywood and I'd wear it again. However, my date (BF at the time) was a Mormon with a crazy family and stalker tendencies. Not especially proud of myself for that selection.
Edit to clarify: nothing wrong with being Mormon in itself, but it is not a good idea to date them if you are not yourself one of them. Particularly if you're not a virgin and have no shame about that.

Cycle/month: 13/16
Cycle Day: 16
What are you doing to GKU: OPKs, PNVs, temping, and EOD sex right now.
R/R/CS: I just can't wait to ovulate!
GTKY: Tell us about your prom dress and date. Would you wear it again? Go with the same date? I was dating a 26 year old when I was in high school and only students or alumni were allowed to go to the prom. So my BFF and I went to all the prom parties, got into a fight with some guy that punched my brother one time, ended up drunk and alone in the middle of the woods. One of us peed our pants and the other sprained her ankle...I won't share which was which, lol.
In hindsight, it was a great night...and I've never been too upset about missing prom. I went to a super small school though and our proms had a reputation of being lame.
ETA: I'm not very proud of my boyfriend selection either, lol.

Cycle/month: 7 since break/ 20 total
Cycle Day: 19
What are you doing to GKU: HIO in hopes that I O eventually.
R/R/CS: Nope, just still here.
GTKY: Tell us about your prom dress and date. Would you wear it again? Go with the same date? Junior prom I went with a friend from church. Senior year I had moved and went with my ex husband. I wore the same dress but altered it the second year and loved how it looked. I am not in contact with either of them anymore. My current husband and I were friends in high school and I wish one of us had manned up and asked the other to prom.
What are you doing to GKU: Temping, going to attempt EOD during FW (but I haven't shared that with MH, just planning on jumping on him more and seeing what happens), also trying to figure out this whole CM thing
R/R/CS: I am having a little trouble with checking CM. I feel like I understand and can tell what EW is, which I guess is the most important one. I only saw it one day last cycle, but it was very clearly EW. The others are more of an issue, especially telling the difference between W and nothing. On the happy side, my temps have been really consistent, so I am hoping that will make it easy to see my O spike when it happens.
GTKY: Tell us about your prom dress and date. Would you wear it again? Go with the same date: NO to just about everything for my own senior prom. I went to a few others that were more fun/I wore better dresses/had better dates/was a better date. For my senior prom, my date got arrested at a party the week before prom (like an under-age drinking thing) and his parents grounded him and would not let him go to prom. So I had to scramble and decided to go with this really shy boy from my Spanish class who was available and I had maybe said like 5 words to ever. Well it turned out he had really liked me, like for awhile, which I didn't know and I ended up ditching him like halfway through for this other guy that I had been on and off with through most of HS and we were "off" before prom. I felt really bad about it after, but I really didn't know how much the Spanish class boy liked me. And I wish I had just gone with my on again off again BF in the first place but we were both being stubborn. Also I wore the most heinous hot pink and sparkly dress, it was so prom-y it makes me laugh just thinking about that horrible dress.
R/R/CS: As much as I hate the 2WW, I'm ready to be in it.
GTKY: Tell us about your prom dress and date. Would you wear it again? Go with the same date? Ohhh, no and no. I'd do a whole lotta high school differently! My dress was baby blue and looking back looked more like a bridesmaid dress.
What are you doing to GKU: bbt, TI, clomid, ovidrel, progesterone, and after yesterday, I now need estrace apparently.
R/R/CS: I triggered last night and my temp dropped .5 degrees this morning, so I'm ovulating.
GTKY: Tell us about your prom dress and date. Would you wear it again? Go with the same date? I went to four proms. Two of the dresses I would wear again. One of them was this really pretty aqua ombre number. I was rocking ombre before it was a "thing." I still have that dress in my closet, along with the rest of my prom dresses.

Cycle/month: 12 (3 AL)
Cycle Day: 11
What are you doing to GKU: I'm doing DH.
R/R/CS: Due too all the stress of moving last month, sex during FW just seemed like another thing on our to-do list. Now that we are all moved in and more relaxed, hopefully our sex with be both recreational and procreational.
GTKY: Tell us about your prom dress and date. Would you wear it again? Go with the same date? My dress was a light blue, sparkly, tulle, strapless, princessy ball gown. It was very pretty for a 17-year old to wear. I wore it to two proms. I still have it. Junior year I went to another school's prom with a guy I worked with. Apparently he was sick, or nervous, or his dinner did not agree with him, and once we got to the dance, he spent about 45 minutes in the bathroom while I just sat on a bench by myself since I didn't know anybody there. Senior year, I took a friend to my prom. My parents owned a rental house and some tenants had moved out and left behind an awesome tuxedo, so I gave it to my friend and he wore it with a ruffly shirt. I would not go to prom again with the first guy, because he made me wait way too long while he was pooping (or whatever he was doing). I would do it all again with my second date because we had an awesome time.
What are you doing to GKU: BBT, opks (though I forgot to start them this cycle), sex
R/R/CS: Got nothing. I may have ovulated yesterday, but we'll see. Non-TTC related: I'm kinda sad that the play is OFFICIALLY over. We finished cleaning up yesterday and I'm not sure what I'm going to do with myself this afternoon... at least I still have the cast party to look forward to!
GTKY: Tell us about your prom dress and date. Would you wear it again? Go with the same date? I went to my junior and senior prom with the same guy (we were dating). I would go with him again since, you know, we were dating. I doubt I would wear my senior prom dress again, but I liked my junior prom dress. Both were very early 2000s.
GTKY: Tell us about your prom dress and date. Would you wear it again? Go with the same date? I'm terrible at describing but this was my dress. No I wouldn't wear it again. I was a little chunky at the time and I would have picked something more figure flattering. I would definitely go with the same date! He is my husband now
GTKY: Tell us about your prom dress and date. Would you wear it again? Go with the same date? Dress was boring AF, but ok. Black floor length sheath with silver chain straps. Went with my BF who broke up with me that night. Fun times! Googled him the other day and he has got the worst teeth now. Sooo...well, different dress, please. And I should have gone with a good guy friend of mine I'm still friends with today.
What are you doing to GKU: Temping and OPK's to get an idea of what my cycle looks like for future months.
R/R/CS: Well, we were supposed to be benched for two months after I came off of Nuvaring but DH wanted nothing to do with the condoms I bought and decided we will be using the pull out method. I don't have much faith in that so I decided to pop in to this thread
GTKY: Tell us about your prom dress and date. Would you wear it again? Go with the same date? My date was a guy I had a crush on. He was sweet and we went on one date and to prom. Nothing came of it but that's ok. He was the class clown and split his pants at prom when he was doing the splits while dancing in the middle of a large circle of people. It was hilarious. I loved my dress. It was a royal blue halter. It had a princess type skirt but was not poofy, just didn't cling. I loved it and wore it to a sorority formal too.
Cycle Day: 1. Womp womp. (I started spotting last Wednesday so I'm just glad it's finally here)
What are you doing to GKU: I think I'm just going to temp this cycle. Opks stress me out. Is it positive? Is it getting darker? No thanks.
R/R/CS: I wore tight pants today. Bad choice. I get to go to the dentist this afternoon though and brought jeans so only a few more hours.
GTKY: Tell us about your prom dress and date. Would you wear it again? Go with the same date? My junior year I went with a friend. We decided to go the week before and ended up dating off and on through high school and college. Senior year I went with the captain of the track/cross country team. We were friends, I always had a crush on him, and we ended up dating for awhile but then he turned into a d-bag because we were going to different schools (only an hour away). I should have just gone with the guy from junior prom but we were off. Both of my dresses were poofy and halter. Junior was coral and senior was light yellow. I'd go with something more flattering but I was a lot heavier back then.
R/R/CS: I was not smart and played w/ temps in FF last night. If it had risen even the tiniest bit, I would have CH on CD 13. But nope, temp went down a little. And FF gave me an open circle even though I temped at my normal time, every day. Ugh.
GTKY: Tell us about your prom dress and date. Would you wear it again? Go with the same date? I went to prom all 4 years of HS. My favorite dress and prom was Junior year. It was giant, poofy, blingy, and blue. I wore it in a pageant too. I had a ton of fun w/ my date that year, but ended up getting back together w/ my ex (who was my friend's date) that night. There was essentially a group of 6 of us who just exchanged dates and went to every dance together.
I feel like FF has been extra drunk lately. I've seen a couple charts where FF decided for no apparent reason to give super-early CHs.
Agreed. Someone needs to stage in intervention with FF. "This is how your behavior has hurt me..."
I agree as well.
The earliest i've O'd since I started temping is CD11, but I feel 9 or 10 is just too early. It's like it's taunting me for manually inputting CHs yesterday. It's also predicting a 22 day cycle; but I have a history of shorter cycles, so it's not impossible. Overall, I am not optimistic in any way, shape, or form. I'll just keep temping and see what happens.
R/R/CS: Got my mojo back last night and DH and I had some good sex. Yay!
GTKY: Tell us about your prom dress and date. Would you wear it again? Go with the same date? I liked both of my prom dates! One was my crush and a good friend so it was fun without being too awkward. My other prom was spent with a friend who I still hang out with today from time to time. He is a sweetie and ended up dating a friend of mine for a while.
Here are my dresses. I loved them both and would totally wear them again! The pink/red one had a shimmering tool under that peeked out on the left side, that one was my favorite.
Cycle/Month: 2 of charting (TTA a few more cycles) What is the difference between month and cycle?
CD: 2
What are you doing to GKU?: thyroid meds, prenatal vitamins, temping, CM when AF stops, OPK's (trying to establish a pattern before we try again)
R/R/CS: I didn't temp today. My sleep was really broken up last night and AF is here. It doesn't really matter right. I started temping last cycle on CD 7 and FF picked up my O date.
GTKY: I went to 4 proms. My first boyfriends Junior and Senior Prom, my Junior prom with my then bosses nephew, and my Senior Prom with a friend. My favorite dress was my Senior Prom dress. It was a black strapless dress. Very elegant.
Thanks! Double digits suck. I think I'm handling it better than expected but DH did some damage control and bought me an adult coloring book (adult meaning complicated) so now I get to buy colored pencils and color all weekend. It's the little things.
I just started feeling the sorta tight crampy feeling. Last cycle I felt it starting around CD 14 and I think I O'd around CD16 or 17, I wasn't temping yet but based on other signs... It's probably in my head, but I think I will start HIO earlier this month JIC...

Cycle/month: 8/12
Cycle Day: 36
What are you doing to GKU: BBT, sex
R/R/CS: Nothing new today.
GTKY: I went to three proms all with my high school boyfriend. Two of the dresses were red and one was blue. I also still have my prom dresses in my closet because I can't bring myself to get rid of them! Two of them I would wear again because I loved them. My senior year I was kinda over it and didn't really like the dress. And also I would kill to have the same body I had back then!
In case you have longer cycles, (longer than a month) So you could have been trying for 8 months, but have only had say 6 cycles. Sound right? Sorry about CD1, rooskie,
Me: 29, PCOS with slight IR and slightly elevated DHEA-S. HSG all clear, SHG shows a couple cysts but besides that, all normal. Prescribed Metformin. H: 40, Low motility, morph and volume. Meeting with urologist & repeat SA in August to see if anything can be done to improve numbers.

Cycle/month: 21 (!! -- I actually went and counted my charts in FF. These are just the charted months, not first couple months of just seeing what happens lol. <--I'm choosing to laugh about this and not cry, lol)
Cycle Day: 11
What are you doing to GKU: trying to get DH to do the sex with me. Oh, and the RE appointment is finally upon us Friday afternoon.
R/R/CS: Meh, nothing really worthwhile.
GTKY: Tell us about your prom dress and date. Would you wear it again? Go with the same date? I never went to prom, but my friends and I did an anti-prom (We're such rebels :eyeroll: ). We did mini-golf and lazer tag! I'm loving all the dresses though!

R/R/CS: ...nothing different than the last like... two weeks.
GTKY: Tell us about your prom dress and date. Would you wear it again? Go with the same date? I wore a really pretty sparkly white dress. Everyone told me not to wear white because it would look like a wedding dress, but I LOVED it. I'd wear it again in a heart beat. We went as a group so I didn't really have a date. I wish I could have gone with MH. We went to the same high school, just didn't know each other.

Your DH sounds awesome. Coloring is so soothing. I had a teacher who would read to us and let us color these super complicated kaleidoscope printouts. Definitely helped us center when we were all stressed out or needing to focus on something.
