Cycle/Month:8/9
CD: 5
What are you doing to GKU? Not much right now
R/R/CS: the bleeding has stopped and I'm ready to get on with cycle 8. I went to 2 kid birthday parties yesterday, got drunk and ugly cried about not being pregnant. Luckily, only DH saw me.
GTKY: What qualities does your Husband/wife/SO have that will make them a good father/mother? (Thanks TWW!)
My husband is a really hard worker and really excited for kids. I think he will be really "hands-on"
What are you doing to GKU? Waiting for AF to leave the house.
R/R/CS: ....cd1
GTKY: What qualities does your Husband/wife/SO have that will make them a good father/mother? (Thanks TWW!) he adores kids! Especially of the toddler variety and older, but it think he'll adapt just fine to a baby as well.
R/R/CS: I don't know if it's because I'm overly emotional during ovulation or if DH has been meaner this week, but I have zero motivation to do the BD let alone look at him right now. I did start a new job this week, so we may just be stressing out with our new schedule and duties.
GTKY: What qualities does your Husband/wife/SO have that will make them a good father/mother? He's caring and very hands on with DS. The older DS gets the more and more they do together. I had no doubt he would be a good dad when we got pregnant because he had a great relationship with his Dad growing up and was over the moon when we found out DS was a boy.
What are you doing to GKU? Bbt and sex (maybe vacation sex will work?)
R/R/CS: nada
GTKY: What qualities does your Husband/wife/SO have that will make them a good father/mother? H has worked with autistic adults/kids and now a daycare. He also does VBS and Sunday school. He is patient, loves to cook and can adapt food, flexible, and kids love him.

butlerfan, Not to sound like a stalker, but aren't you on CD 13. I only ask cause I don't remember anyone of the same CD as me. I tend to remember details especially details regarding numbers.
What are you doing to GKU? The plan is EOD sex until a OPK+ then a few days of ED.
R/R/CS: My signs are picking up, so I am going to start the OPKs 2x/day now. My temp also took a dip down this AM, which it did around the same time last month, so hopefully that means I will O around the same time. Maybe? Does anyone else's temp drop during their FW?
GTKY: He is super calm, like definitely your go to guy in an emergency, he is also really kind, loves games and is great with all my little cousins. He has never changed a diaper before though and seems kind of nervous about that.
nepatsgal I'm sorry you and DH aren't meshing right now, I hope the new job stress settles out!
Cycle/Month: 12
CD: 5
What are you doing to GKU?: bbt and opk. Trying for EOD
R/R/CS: AF is almost gone, so yay! Doctor wants us to try TI this month. I'm game for that, but I'm not enthused by the recommendation of starting on cd11. I hope I don't o on cd25 again- my poor vag...
GTKY - What qualities does your Husband/wife/SO have that will make them a good father/mother?: DH is an amazing coach. It's really been great to watch him with DD, he is so patient and calm, but still persistent with her. I love watching them together.

Big hugs requiressnacks. Hope you're feeling refreshed today! Sorry about CD1 pibblemom. I had a weird rough patch with MH right around 2AL, nepatsgal. I hope yours doesn't last long. Yeah jewel441, my temp will often dip in my FW. butlerfan, Yay, vacay sex!
Cycle/Month: Cycle 6 (4 AL)
CD: 20
What are you doing to GKU? A cow as white as milk, a cape as red as blood, a hair as yellow as corn, a slipper as pure as gold.
R/R/CS: Well, I keep being wrong about my O day and I ran out of OPKs at CD17. But last night I had really acute ovarian pain, so I hope I have a temp spike in my future.
GTKY: What qualities does your Husband/wife/SO have that will make them a good father/mother? He is fair, kind and patient. He also really loves games and tinkering. He is a great explainer and teacher - he will be on homework duty. I can't wait to see him be a dad!
What are you doing to GKU? OPKs, BBT, PNVs, Vitamin D3, Metformin
R/R/CS: So glad I didn't act on my rainbows and butterflies feelings and stayed in WTO until my blood work confirmed ovulation. I just had about 20 minutes of ugly crying. The nurse from the clinic called to say that I did not ovulate (which confirmed what my gut was telling me). My levels were .147, like barely registrable. The poor nurse was super kind and soothed me until I stopped crying and gave me the instructions for the next cycle. Those poor nurses have an interesting job dealing with weepy women on the reg. So I hung up called my mom and then cried some more.
ANYWHO, I am putting my big girl panties on and going to go get REALLY drunk at the pool. My mom is coming with me to DD and cheer me up. Femara here comes Andrea.
GTKY: What qualities does your Husband/wife/SO have that will make them a good father/mother? (Thanks TWW!) My husband is brilliant and oh so sweet. Our kiddo's will have a dad who will teach them so many skills and will show them unconditional gentle love. Where I am a whirlwind of action and in-your-faceness, he is gentle, soothing and oh so kind. He is already loving the kids we are going to have through being the most supportive, gentle husband a girl could ask for during this shitty horrible IF shit storm I got us into.
What are you doing to GKU? Well I need to do better about BBT and we need to have more sex. I'm just not feeling it lately. It's been a tough month.
R/R/CS: *Loss/Friend's Pregnancy mentioned* This month especially, my loss is really hitting me. Wednesday is my EDD and I had 2 friends tell me they're pregnant this weekend. I feel like my heart is being shattered all over again. I just want to be pregnant already.
GTKY: MH is funny, caring, and a hard worker. He's going to be a great dad.

R/R/CS: I dropped off DH because he is heading to WA for training this week so here's hoping I O today or tomorrow so that we can still be in contention for this month.
GTKY: What qualities does your Husband/wife/SO have that will make them a good father/mother? (Thanks TWW!) He's such a sweet heart. He's patient when teaching, he's a hard worker and very affectionate. He tries to help out around the house when he's home and he's a great provider!
What are you doing to GKU? BBT, OPKs and sex EOD starting around CD12
R/R/CS: Last night my dad wanted to know why I'm not taking a day of PTO this week when my sister is going to be in town. I had to explain that I'm saving up for a future maternity leave (or fertility treatments). He asked how many days I had saved and when I said 25 he looked pissed. Once I said "my PTO, my choice" he left it alone.
GTKY: What qualities does your Husband/wife/SO have that will make them a good father/mother? He's so awesome with DD. He loves that she is such a girly girl and seems to enjoy picking out her outfits everyday. He takes a lot of pride saying he's never spent a night away from her.
R/R/CS: Forgot to temp again yesterday. Don't care. I'd probably care more if I actually o'd at a decent time. As it is it's probably at LEAST a week until I O... probably more like 2-3 weeks. Heh.
GTKY: What qualities does your Husband/wife/SO have that will make them a good father/mother? (Thanks TWW!) He is very patient and loves teaching/spending time with kids. I think he'll be an excellent teacher and role model and will love spending time with our kids.
R/R/CS: I'm mad at myself. I forgot my BBT at home and was out of town yesterday and today. I'm right at the point in my cycle where I needed those temps. I was out at the lake so I couldn't run to the store for a BBT. I did bring my OPKs though and they were negative and my advanced OPK said low. Maybe I didnt fuck up my chart.
GTKY: What qualities does your Husband/wife/SO have that will make them a good father/mother? (Thanks TWW!) He is extremely attentive to me. That's may be a weird quality to mention in this context but I actually think it's really important. He treats me so well.
Thank you everyone for the creepy internet hugs on cd 1. I made the best of it with a bunch of captain at my dads on Father's Day. Here's to a better tomorrow for everyone
R/R/CS: Pretty sure today is O day. I've O'd on CD14 for the past 4 cycles, and all other signs point to today (OPK's, CM, etc.). Will wait for temps to confirm.
GTKY: What qualities does your Husband/wife/SO have that will make them a good father/mother? (Thanks TWW!) It sounds like a lot of us have patient spouses! DH is also very patient and has a great sense of humor. He is so good with kids. He will be the primary stay at home parent once we have kids (he will still work part time), and he's so excited to be a SAHD.

THANK YOU! I was feeling sad nobody else caught it (or mentioned it) and maybe thought I was just loony. And FX for a big temp spike for you tomorrow!
