Cycle/Month: 6 total/ 3 AL
CD: 6
What are you doing to GKU? AF has overstayed her welcome so I'm still waiting for her to leave.
R/R/CS: None today!
GTKY: Mine would probably all be famous authors so I could pick their brains. Edgar Allen Poe because he is my all-time favorite author and poet. JK Rowling because I still have so many questions even after all this time. John Greene because I think his stuff is really great and teens and young adults can really relate to it. I'd love to write and publish something in that genre (this is on my bucket list) so it would be interesting to talk to him.
What are you doing to GKU? Started letrazole/femara last night!! So once AF leaves it will be timed intercourse, femara, baby aspirin, HcG trigger, d3, omegas, PNV, BBT, monitoring us, and lots of finger crossing. Whew.
R/R/CS: having lots of confusion about whether to switch RE offices but other than that just feeling tired. DH has taken out the whole kitchen so we will be sink less until this weekend when we install the new kitchen. And of course we found some crazy things the previous owner did. Always keeping us on our toes!
What are you doing to GKU? temping, OPKs this month...
R/R/CS: I thought AF was gone... but no... it's not... still spotting. It's time for it to GTFO!
GTKY: If you could meet three famous people, dead or alive, who would you choose and why? Well this is a horribly hard question for 8am... Stephen King because he's my favorite author. His work is sick and twisted but I've seen him at a talk and he was really down to earth and awesome. I just want to sit and chat with him. Rosalind Franklin because I want to talk to her about women in science and pick her brain about the whole Watson and Crick stealing her work thing. Hank Green, for my students' sake. We always watch his videos to start/end a unit and I would love to sit down and chat with him and pick his brain about teaching science in general.
What are you doing to GKU? Time to start the OPKs and sperm arrives Friday!
R/R/CS: clearly having a cat walk all over me and wake me up in the middle of the night does affect my temps. While I was staying at my parents house my temps were so beautifully even and now they're back to rocky.
GTKY: I'd love to meet Diane Sawyer and hear her stories about the news she's covered over the years. President JFK because I want to know about what went on behind closed doors while discussing wth to do about the war in Vietnam. And lastly, Queen Elizabeth I. She seemed like such a badass and I'd just want to meet her and chat about what is was like to rule a country as a single female in the 1500s.
Me: 31 Wife: 30. Legally married 2008, thanks CA! TTC #1 since 11/14 using donor sperm. IUIs Jan-Aug 2015 BFN Sept & OCT 2015 added Femara. BFN Saw RE December 2015.

Cycle/Month: 11
CD: 15
What are you doing to GKU? BBT, EOD, digital OPKs, losing weight
R/R/CS: I think I might have O'ed. I had one positive OPK yesterday morning, but then I tested again in the evening, it was negative. I tested again this morning, it was negative. My temp dropped this morning and sometimes on the day of ovulation my temp deops and then rises. But for this cycle my temps are up and down so IDK. I don't know if that means my timing is going to be off or if I'm still okay.
GTKY: If you could meet three famous people, dead or alive, who would you choose and why? I ran out of time to answer I gotta get to work.

Cycle/Month:: 10
CD: 12
What are you doing to GKU? Charging BBT, healthy eating, limiting drinking, will start OPKs tomorrow or Friday I think. Will start the sexy time when H gets back from his business trip on Friday. Hopefully I dont O before then.
R/R/CS: I've said it before but I REALLYYY want this to be our cycle.. Another family member recently announced their prengnancy, im happy for them but I am ready for my turn!
GTKY: If you could meet three famous people, dead or alive, who would you choose and why? Warren Buffett, roald Dahl, the Queen of England
What are you doing to GKU? Sex. Taking a temping break mainly because my thermometer is still in NY.
R/R/CS: my coffee gave me a tummy ache this morning.
GTKY: If you could meet three famous people, dead or alive, who would you choose and why? 1. Bill Nye the Science Guy - I've listened to some of his podcasts and just think he's fascinating. He's so intelligent but still acts like someone you could sit down and drink and laugh with. 2. Tolkien - I would love to pick his brain and hear where he got allergies his ideas from. 3. Sir Ian McKellan (with Patrick Stewart) - because who doesn't want to be a part of that amazing friendship.

Cycle/Month: 9/13
CD: 7
What are you doing to GKU? BBT, sex
R/R/CS: Decided I'm ordering OPKs today so hopefully they don't stress me out this cycle.
GTKY: Greg Forbes who is a severe weather expert because I wish I went into meteorology. Andy Cohen so I could get all the real housewives scoop. Justin Timberlake because hot. I have had a crush on him since Nsync first came on the scene.
R/R/CS: So far today hasn't been too bad, just waiting for the more cramps to come...
GTKY: If you could meet three famous people, dead or alive, who would you choose and why? Gerard Butler because he's the Phantom and he seems cool. Jennifer Lawrence cause she's hilarious. And Emma Stone cause she seems pretty down to earth and fun to hang out with.

Cycle/Month: 1/1
CD: 2
What are you doing to GKU? Temping, PNV, Sex once AF leaves
R/R/CS: Nothing.
GTKY: 1. Sarah Michelle Gellar - Buffy is still one of my all time favorite shows (the other is GoT, obviously, lol) and I would love to meet the person responsible for bringing the character to life. Plus SMG just seems like a pretty awesome person anyway. 2. Tom Brady/Rob Gronkowski/Julian Edelman (couldn't just pick one!) - Love my Pats!! **Waves at nepatsgal** 92 days until their Season Opener! 3. Jensen Ackles - Supernatural is another favorite show of mine plus I think he's hot as hell. Plus based on how he, Jared Padalecki, and Misha Collins are around each other, he seems like a great/fun guy.
Cycle/Month: 5 CD 9 What are you doing to GKU? Temping (see r/r), remembered to start taking my pnv (woops lol), opks starting today, sex. R/R/CS: my 16 mo seems to finally be over his stomach bug and generally terroristing and slept all night last night. So I was finally able to get a temperature this morning! On the sex note, my husband has been a horn dog early this cycle, and I'm afraid he's going to burn himself out. We've talked a lot and I know he wants this pregnancy as much as I do and is eager for it, but the last two cycles he has turned me down for sexy time during fw. I made it clear if he wants this, he doesn't have that option.
GTKY: 1) Princess Diana because I'm fascinated by her life and death. 2) JFK because I'd like to here more about the politics he dealt with and his personal life 3) I'm stealing someone else's: Gerard Butler because hotttt
What are you doing to GKU? BBT, PNV, just ordered OPKs
R/R/CS: I hope I O on CD 13 like last month. That gives us a couple days to have sex over the weekend that is close to O. We both work too much so during the week is tough.
GTKY: I want to meet Jimmy Fallon so badly. He just makes me so happy. I'd be thrilled if Justin Timberlake was there too. He's hot and hilarious. I would love to meet any President too and spend a day with him. JFK would really fascinate me- I want to know if all the affair rumors are really true.

JustJudy, your Diane Sawyer answer reminds me of Amber from Drop Dead Gorgeous. (Unfortunately I could not find an appropriate gif. Maybe housecarder can help.)
R/R/CS: After two days of water CM, got some traces of EW this morning. Since I had 11 days of fertile CM before O last cycle, I'm trying not to get too psyched up about it yet. I'll start OPKs - neg this morning. Trying to decide if I should keep up EOD sex... I don't want to exhaust us too early!
GTKY: If you could meet three famous people, dead or alive, who would you choose and why? I'll say Victor Hugo, Amy Poehler, Eleanor Roosevelt. That's the first trio that popped into my head.
Today I'm on CD13. It's also my EDD for my loss baby, so today I'm taking it easy. I wrote him a long letter and H and I will be taking a long walk on the beach today. Rest in peace, LO.

(Hugs) sounds like a wonderful way to remember. Take care of yourself today.
adorebel, Hugs. Sounds like a lovely way to honor him.
housecarder, You have my heart today, thank you for making me smile.
Cycle/Month: 6/7
CD: 10
What are you doing to GKU? All of the things + metformin
R/R/CS: Well I was hoping that my body was getting it's shit together and I was starting to develop a pattern. But it looks like it just likes fucking with me. FF estimated I should have ovulated today or yesterday based on my last two cycles, my body gave FF the finger and my chart is back to being a little roller coaster ride of clusterfuckery. So over it. I am hosting a baby shower this weekend, because there is nothing else I love to do than torture myself and have my house invaded by pregnant peeps and parents of small children. The kicker is that the shower is for my husband's friend's wife, who I am not really that close to, but no one had offered to throw her a shower. It is their first kid and I just didn't have the heart to let her go through her pregnancy without anyone celebrating for her. The guest list is made up of 90% people I don't know and part of me wishes I wasn't such a sap and had not volunteered myself for torture. I found out I was not ovulating the day before I hosted my best friend's shower in February, so baby showers and I are just not getting along.
TL;DR: Andrea is cranky, her body is an asshole, and baby showers for those with TTTC is just mean.
GTKY: If you could meet three famous people, dead or alive, who would you choose and why? 1. Hillary Clinton- I think she is a bad ass. 2. Mindi Kaling- I want to be bffs with her 3. David Sedaris- He is so funny, I love his books & essays
edit: Spelling errors. I am not from this country, English is hard.
Today I'm on CD13. It's also my EDD for my loss baby, so today I'm taking it easy. I wrote him a long letter and H and I will be taking a long walk on the beach today. Rest in peace, LO.

Hugs for you too Andrea. That was very nice of you to offer to throw her a shower. Sounds like some mimosas are in order to help you get through the day.
And to you as well, Andrea. I know it will be hard but that is super sweet of you to throw the shower.
Cycle/Month: NTNP (17 total)
CD: 9
What are you doing to GKU?: HSG tomorrow. Maybe. See below.
R/R/CS: I am in a mood today. I was supposed to be told my HSG time yesterday. All day long, no call. I call the office, they'll tell me I'll get my time. Finally at 630 I get word that they're running late so I'll be told first thing this morning. It's now almost 11 and nothing. I wouldn't care except plans with like three different people/groups kinda hinge on when I am and am not available. I'm just being cranky about it, I know they are busy but still.
GTKY: If you could meet three famous people, dead or alive, who would you choose and why? 1. So there's a lot of male actors I would put on this list, like Richard Armitage (drool - that voice omg) or Derek Jacobi (seriously one of my most favorite actors of all time). But honestly I think I'd like to see my tween crush, Jonathan Brandis. I loved him so much, and when I heard he committed suicide a few years ago it broke my heart.
2. Rob Gronkowski (hey LadyNymeria and nepatsgal!) - but only if we get to spoon/cuddle
Today I'm on CD13. It's also my EDD for my loss baby, so today I'm taking it easy. I wrote him a long letter and H and I will be taking a long walk on the beach today. Rest in peace, LO.

Lol! I love that movie so much, I won't lie I did think about that just a little bit before posting.
