What are you doing to GKU? clomid, ovidrel, iui, endometrin, estrace
R/R/CS: It's just so weird that I'm in my twelfth month.
GTKY: If you received enough money to never need to work again, what would you spend your time doing? I'd probably still work part-time at something fun and low stress. I'm still super close with my former supervisor from the job I had in grad school that was a ton of fun. Maybe I'd go back to work for her...
R/R/CS: I started bleeding yesterday (spotting). Still spotting again today. I hate my uterus.
GTKY: I would spend a lot of time volunteering, locally and internationally. And just travel and soak up other cultures. I would eat my way across the planet
GTKY: If you received enough money to never need to work again, what would you spend your time doing? Traveling the world, probably doing volunteer work as a nurse in areas of need.
R/R/CS: Got positive OPKs yesterday so I'm hoping that I O today!
GTKY: If you received enough money to never need to work again, what would you spend your time doing? I think I would want to learn how to cook and start a huge garden. I'd also do some charity work, especially working with animals. And traveling!
What are you doing to GKU?: Taking a cycle or two off temping, but still doing stuff and things (like pnvs, etc)
R/R/CS: Already ranted in the randoms thread about how MH may not be able to go to my HSG on Thursday, so I will spare everyone the repeat
GTKY: If you received enough money to never need to work again, what would you spend your time doing? I'd get a license to do cakes/desserts and probably lease some space in a shared kitchen, if not just open a bakery completely. Either that, or just stay home and craft all day because I can
What are you doing to GKU? Waiting for my RE's office to call back with what med I'll be taking.
R/R/CS: Having a rough go of it this time.
GTKY: If you received enough money to never need to work again, what would you spend your time doing? First I would take a long ass vacation. Then I would go on medical mission trips and work per diem to stay in the field.
What are you doing to GKU? NOTHING and apparently not enough from last cycle.
R/R/CS: all the freaking wine tonight. Is it 5:00 yet??? I'm over this TTC shit. Today sucks royally.
GTKY: If you received enough money to never need to work again, what would you spend your time doing? First, take a long vacation on the beach somewhere. I would travel and visit everywhere I want to travel. I would volunteer my time and have time for all my hobbies.

LTs for the dreams of volun-tourism!
Cycle/Month: Cycle 6
CD: 8
What are you doing to GKU? FF to the max.
R/R/CS: Had a high temp this morning I can't explain - I slept in my bed, we have climate control, and I hadn't been drinking. I also had a patch of what I thought was watery CM and increased sex drive yesterday afternoon, but I talked myself out of that and decided it was sticky. My rational mind knows it can't be O, especially because I didn't O until CD22 last cycle. I just wish my chart was pretty. Sigh.
GTKY: If you received enough money to never need to work again, what would you spend your time doing? I love the idea of traveling and experiencing the world through volunteering. I love having a job, so I would either still try to work or be a full-time volunteer.

I'm so sorry, love. You deserve that long beach vacation today. At least do something really luxurious for yourself.
R/R/CS: I still can't decide if I want to order OPKs this cycle. I want them to help with our timing but with my longer cycles it gets frustrating seeing negatives day after day.
GTKY: I would go back to volunteering at the cat shelter where I used to volunteer. I would also do a lot of traveling.
GTKY: If you received enough money to never need to work again, what would you spend your time doing? I'd stay home until my kids were school age. Then I'd find work doing something I'm actually passionate about. Something in the arts or for a charity/cause.
What are you doing to GKU? Waiting on AF to leave...
R/R/CS: Got nothing. Just want AF to leave already.
GTKY: If you received enough money to never need to work again, what would you spend your time doing? Travel, volunteer, volunteer while traveling, go back to school (because I'm a nerd and would go even if it doesn't matter since I don't need to work).

What are you doing to GKU? Waiting, calling the RE today
R/R/CS: I'm tired of TTC at this point and I feel bad that we're at the point of calling the RE, but we really do want kids. I'm just feeling down today because it's CD1 and I have a doctors appointment where they'll ask the date of my LMP. I'm also so bloated that I couldn't get my rings over my knuckle today. Again.
GTKY: If you received enough money to never need to work again, what would you spend your time doing? I would spend so much more time in the garden, sew, and volunteer with the local animal shelters.
R/R/CS: I've determined that the CBFM is secretly a Wallie torture device. Somehow I locked myself out of it when I hit the wrong number for the pin. Why does it even have the option to set a pin? Why did it let me set a pin? Today is going anything but smooth.
GTKY: If you received enough money to never need to work again, what would you spend your time doing? Volunteering for children's literacy programs.
ETA: ((hugs)) butlerfan Cycles 7 and 8 were some of the hardest for me. piccyami - I'm also on 13 cycle and just started testing. I wish lots of luck. I hope you get some answers soon.

Cycle/Month: 2/2
CD: 6
What are you doing to GKU? Opk, temping, pnv, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera
R/R/CS: today just sucks, Monday 2.0
GTKY: If you received enough money to never need to work again, what would you spend your time doing? I'd travel extensively and repeat my favorite locations doing something like this. And +1 cakewench - that's my passion!!

Cycle: 4 CD: 17 What are you doing to GKU: Temping, CM, green tea
RRCS: Ugh, my new thermometer doesn't have a last temp recall on it. It's a good thing I always check it and usually remember it before going back to sleep. Guess I'll need to just start inputting it into FF right away, now.
GTKY: Travel! I never really had a chance to travel in my life because we never had any money so I'd like to do some traveling, even if it needed to be kid friendly most of the time. I'd also start up regular riding lessons and make sure my kids were able to sign up for activities that they want to do.
What are you doing to GKU? Still bleeding. Considering adding in fertility acupuncture this cycle. But I'm so pessimistic about TTC at this point that I'd hate to waste money on something that probably wouldn't help anyway.
R/R/CS: Just hanging out at CD2. I actually wasn't too upset when AF started yesterday, because at this point, I don't get my hopes up anymore and don't expect to be KU.
GTKY: If you received enough money to never need to work again, what would you spend your time doing? I would first travel around the world, specifically to Australia, South America, and Antarctica, so I could fulfill my dream of visiting every continent. Then I would try to find a (very) part-time job working in an infectious disease research lab, because I think I would get bored if I wasn't working at all. I would also spend time volunteering and spend lots of time with my dogs!

Cycle/Month: 11 weeeeee
CD: 14
What are you doing to GKU? BBT, OPKS, EOD, weight loss
R/R/CS: got my first positive opk today So I'll O either today or tomorrow. Last three cycles I O'ed on CD15 but my body likes to give me a curve whenever I think we're going straight. FWIW, I think I'm having fairly regular cycles after 10 or so months post BC.
GTKY: If you received enough money to never need to work again, what would you spend your time doing? Traveling the world.
piccyami LT For the volunteering at animal shelters. Hugs for the rest of it. summerdonna I tried to volunteer at the cat shelter but I wanted to take home ALL the kitties and had to stop.
Cycle/Month: 6
CD: 8
What are you doing to GKU? PNV, aspirin, waiting for a positive OPK.
R/R/CS: I'm ready to get this show on the road!
GTKY: I'd also want to travel extensively. But I do love working and really think I wouldn't want to give that up completely.

The struggle was real. I'm very surprised I volunteered for a couple years and never took one home. But there were more than a few cats that I loved so much and missed when they got adopted wishing I had taken them home.
Were you drinking or anything on Saturday? Did you get enough sleep? Both of those things could cause a temp spike.
Nope, normal day. I didn't drink that evening which is kind of atypical for me on a Saturday because I wanted to get a good temp Sunday and I slept normally. I temped at my normal time and went back to sleep for another hour or so. I'm pretty annoyed that I started spotting yesterday because I wanted to try for EOD still but now it's not happening.
R/R/CS: Got a high temp this morning. I think it's too early for me to O (I usually O btw CD 17 & 19 and I only started getting fertile CM today), but don't know what could have caused it. We'll see what happens in the next few days.
GTKY: If you received enough money to never need to work again, what would you spend your time doing? Wow, so many things. I'd move out to the country and buy a modest house on a large piece of land and start a fruit & veggie garden, and hopefully learn to cook better. Also, I'd make a lovely rose garden where I could just sit and relax and enjoy the peace & quiet. I would travel a lot. I'd focus on my kid(s) in their formative years, then when they are in school I'd volunteer for non-profits during the day and get them involved in their hobbies after school. Perhaps at some point I'd also go back to school and work on my Master's then my PHD in something fun just cause I can. Also, I'd take time each week to work on my crafty projects. There's too much I want to do I can't just pick one thing!
What are you doing to GKU? Temping, PNV, should get OPKs
R/R/CS: none today
GYKY: if I had enough money to never work again I would definitely get myself in shape. I would also volunteer at the local hospital spending time with those with mental illness. BIL had schizophrenia, and I just feel for those patients. They are tortured on the inside on a daily basis and have such a bad reputation. I wish more people could have met my BIL and see that every mentally ill person isn't scary. He was the kindest soul I'll ever know.
