What are you doing to GKU? Waiting for my period to end.
R/R/CS: I got so used to super short periods that still having it on CD 3 is weird.
GTKY: I'm getting a haircut today. What's the wildiest thing you've ever done to your hair? I let my friend attempt a pixie cut on me. I ended up with more a bowl cut. I wore alot of headbands that summer. I've also cut over 10 inches off several times. And I had blue streaks that turned a terrible shade of green. I loved being a redhead a fews years back but it's too much maintenance.
R/R/CS: MH asked a ton of questions last night about ttc and took time to look at my chart and stuff, it was cool for him to actually care and pay attention.
GTKY: I'm getting a haircut today. What's the wildiest thing you've ever done to your hair? I work in a conservative industry so I have to be a little boring but I push it as much as I can with at least changing the color (among "natural" colors) a lot, especially with reds and blondes. Once I was platinum blonde with super short cut (real hair is blown and usually a bit longer than shoulder length). Not too crazy
TTC since July 2014. CP March 2015. IVF #1 March 2016, 5R, 3M, 2F with ICSI. Transferred 2 on day 3. CP. Surprise BFP and then CP August 2016 (prep cycle for IVF). IVF #2: zero eggs retrieved IVF #3: 6R, 5M, 5F, 3 (2 8A and 1 11A) transferred, one "B" graded embryo frozen on day 5. BFP (at home 7dp3dt, confirmed 14dp3dt with 1552 beta) and U/S at 5w5d, 2 sacs and 2 yolks!
R/R/CS: I'm not temping so I'm not sure if I have O'ed yet. I'll probably keep HIO for the next week just to make sure.
GTKY: I'm getting a haircut today. What's the wildiest thing you've ever done to your hair? I'm blonde, like bleached not natural blonde, and with long hair. Well I decided to dye it brown, but the hair dresser actually dyed it black and then I chopped it all off. I pretty much looked like Snow White cause I'm super pale.
What are you doing to GKU? BBT, PNV, staying hydrated, sex
R/R/CS: Nothing today.
GTKY: I'm getting a haircut today. What's the wildiest thing you've ever done to your hair? I've never been super adventurous with my hair. But by far the weirdest haircut I got was when I tried to go for the cute angled short cut in middle school, not taking into consideration that my hair was awkward and wavy. It was a mess.
What are you doing to GKU? Everything you'd expect
R/R/CS: I THINK I FINALLY O'D. Unfortunately since I didn't sleep two days ago I don't have a temp for yesterday. But my temp was REALLY high today. Hoping that's not a fluke since I temped at 6 instead of 4 since, ya know, I slept. We'll see tomorrow!
GTKY: I'm getting a haircut today. What's the wildiest thing you've ever done to your hair? I am no hair wild child. Most crazy thing I've done is chop it off above my shoulders and dye the underside red.

What are you doing to GKU? BBT, PNV, OPK's starting this weekend
R/R/CS: Just hoping this is a normal length cycle.
GTKY: I'm getting a haircut today. What's the wildiest thing you've ever done to your hair? I got a really cheesy perm back in middle school. It still haunts my dreams. Perm was not a good look for me.

Cycle/month: 13/12

What I'm doing: medicated TI #2
RRCS: ready to get this show on the road.
GTKY: I recently dyed my hair from the blonde it's been for 10+ years back to dark blonde/light brown which is my natural color. I cried the day I did it because it was such a big change. But now I like it more. It will definitely be cheaper if I don't have to dye it all the time :-)
GTKY: I'm getting a haircut today. What's the wildest thing you've ever done to your hair?
I've never done anything super fun. Probably the biggest hair nightmare was when my mom made a mistake highlighting my hair. She was an actual hairdresser but she didn't read the instructions close enough. I ended up bleach blonde on top of my head but no actual streaks. I ended up having to dye my hair regularly for ages until it grew out.
R/R/CS: Pretty sure I Oed yesterday, but I'll hang out here until I confirm. It's kind of early for me so tomorrow's temp will tell.
GTKY: I'm getting a haircut today. What's the wildiest thing you've ever done to your hair? I had never really dyed my hair, but for some reason I thought it would be a great idea to get highlights two weeks before my wedding. I hated them! Luckily you couldn't really see them in my updo.
R/R/CS:sweaty icky weather means I turn up for work each morning with a mop of wet hair under my helmet.
GTKY: What's the wildest thing you've ever done to your hair? I dyed it blue one year, but since I neglected to bleach it first and also bought the cheapest blue dye around, it resulted in washed-out grayish color.
What are you doing to GKU? Temp, opk's for the first time, plan to hio eod starting today.
R/R/CS: My last cycle was 36 days instead of the 29 I'm used to. I wasn't temping then so don't know when I O'd. I'm really hoping it was a fluke because eod is a lot of sex for me if I'm not going to ovulate for 10-12 more days.
GTKY: I'm getting a haircut today. What's the wildiest thing you've ever done to your hair? I'm boring. My worst was probably a perm.
What are you doing to GKU? Bbt, EOD sex, Metformin
R/R/CS: nada. I'm somewhat optimistic this month!
GTKY: I'm getting a haircut today. What's the wildiest thing you've ever done to your hair? I used to be a hairstylist so my hair was wild all the time. The wildest was an icy white blonde, I loved it.
R/R/CS: huge temp spike this am. But I was deliriously out of my mind. So much that I don't even remember taking my temp. Just plain exhausted. Ds was up twice last night. 45 min after I fell asleep. Then 45 min up. Then 30 min sleep. Then up again. I'm just beat. Poor guy had gas. Dh got him to settle. But I was just mind numbingly dead.
GTKY: I'm getting a haircut today. What's the wildiest thing you've ever done to your hair?
Nothing really. I LOVE it short and stacked layers in the back. But it grows so fast I can't keep up with it. Currently I'm growing it out. And it's up every single day. Lol. That's the problem for me. Long hair = sloppy lazy messy thing on my head. Lol
R/R/CS: My temp was up a little, not enough that FF will think I O'd though, I think it's just because I slept a little late, which I am totally fine with. I feel like it's the first goodnight sleep I have had in like a week! I think I will O today or tomorrow, hopefully and hopefully I get a OPK+ today, other signs are in alignment.
GTKY: I'm getting a haircut today. What's the wildiest thing you've ever done to your hair? One time I got bangs, it was not a good call.

Lurking to ask if I'm the only one who went all out crazy all the time and AW my hair hat I miss badly. Please DNQ. *poof* The only one I regret was my red Mohawk. This picture was after it had faded. Not a good look. *poof*
What are you doing to GKU? I guess we should start HIO soon.
R/R/CS: I'm just sore and tired.
GTKY: I have gotten highlights once and hated it. I use to grow my hair out and donate it but now I've had the same haircut for a few years and just cut it when it gets too long.
R/R/CS: I really hope I ovulate today after two days of +OPKs, then our timing would be great.
GTKY: I'm getting a haircut today. What's the wildiest thing you've ever done to your hair? Not much wild about my hair. I dyed the bottom black? That's about all.
housecarder - I went to Catholic school so I didn't get to do anything fun until college. And even then my summer jobs required a more conservative look so I never did anything too drastic.

Luckily I had a job after college that didn't care. Now I can barely paint my nails without getting in trouble.

I had body waves because I was too young for perms. Check out 10 year old me. Long, dirty blonde, curly hair with a tan. Summer camp changes you. DNQ. (be gone, bad 90's hair)

@ @wallflwr926, that is amazing. And here my friends, is my lovely perm. The thought crossed my mind that if someone told me I had to get a perm to be that weight again, I would probably do it. LOL. I think this is circa 1995.

Cycle/Month: 1
CD: 17
What are you doing to GKU? Temping, PNV. FW is over based on this morning's temp rise so it's back to just for fun sex.
R/R/CS: Expecting CHs in a couple days based on this morning's temp.
ETA: Actually, I do have a question. I'm headed to work (no, not TCF-ing and driving) so I can't check the newbie blog first, but for conception purposes, is it worth having sex on the day your temp rises? Or would it really just be sex for fun at this point. TIA!
GTKY: What's the wildiest thing you've ever done to your hair? I cut off 12 inches at once to donate my hair. Great cause, but it ended up REALLY short and I hated it. I like my long hair.

Cycle/Month: 14/16
CD: 7
What are you doing to GKU?: Last dose of Letrozole tonight, then OPKs and EOD sex until confirmed ovulation, and as always PNVs and BBT charting (which I've been sucking at recently)
R/R/CS: I really need to crack down on charting! I keep messing it up!
GTKY: What's the wildiest thing you've ever done to your hair?
Oh my goodness, nothing! I got it cut once when I was in high school to right after shoulder length. I also dyed it red once and blonde another time. That's all! I like natural medium length hair, aren't I boring?
ETA: LadyNymeria Yes, I do believe sex on the day of temp rise/suspected ovulation will increase your chances! I usually try to keep up EOD sex for several days after the initial temp rise just in case it was a fluke or something.
