What are you doing to GKU? Nothing yet besides temping
R/R/CS: Today was my one day to sleep in, but DH kept hitting his snooze button rather than just get up. So now I've been awake since 6:15
GTKY: I work for a non-profit for crap pay, so it's kind of like volunteering haha! But really, the promotion I just got is actually a Volunteer Coordinator position, and I'm so excited to help people who want to volunteer their free time to our organization.
R/R/CS: we are going to some fireworks tonight at our favorite winery and I can't wait. I'm planning on drinking all of the wine in case I get KU and can't drink it for a while.
GTKY: Do you do any volunteer work? If not, what kind of volunteer work could you see yourself doing, and why? I used to do a lot but I just don't have the time anymore. I participate in fundraisers and whatnot through work but the volunteering has taken a back seat.
What are you doing to GKU? We tried well timed sex and bbt but O being late ruined everything
R/R/CS: where is my O?? If only I could get MH to BD one more time I wouldn't mind so much but he's not having it so I'm just watching our timing go to shit. (I do think maybe I O'ed yesterday but my temps are cray cray this month so not sure.)
GTKY: Do you do any volunteer work? If not, what kind of volunteer work could you see yourself doing, and why? I do some pro bono legal work, but I'd really like to do something with troubled kids and horses or therapeutic riding or something like that. Someday.
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!
What are you doing to GKU? At least now my period is really here so I know where I am in my cycle
R/R/CS: I'll be travelling as of CD11 so I will probably miss O this month but we are going to keep trying and hope for an early O date.
GTKY: I work for a non profit and what we do gives me the warm and fuzzies. I'd love to be a girl guide leader but my last job had me travelling to much to commit to it. I'd love to look into that again.

What are you doing to GKU? Just waiting for period to stop
R/R/CS: we are going away for the weekend, and I'm leaving my thermometer at home. I figure it doesn't matter during my period anyways.
GTKY: I work too much to volunteer, but I want to try to find time to volunteer at the psychiatric hospital here. BIL had schizophrenia and died in February. The hospital was so good to him when he was diagnosed 20 years ago and all through the years of him being sick. I want to give back to them somehow.
R/R/CS: temp spike this morning but I slept funny. Hoping it still means I O'd yesterday.
GTKY: Do you do any volunteer work? If not, what kind of volunteer work could you see yourself doing, and why? I'm a CASA ( court appointed child advocate) volunteer.
jags8, congrats on your promotion, that sounds awesome! wannabmama, it sounds like your O s busy playing hide and seek with my period, so annoying!
Cycle/Month: 4//9
CD: 4, I think?
What are you doing to GKU? Waiting for my period to get its shit together
R/R/CS: I had heavy spotting for 5 days then what I would consider light period on Tuesday and Wednesday then yesterday....nothing. I've always had heavy periods so I refuse to believe that was it, so I just don't know
GTKY: Do you do any volunteer work? If not, what kind of volunteer work could you see yourself doing, and why? I'm working on transferring my Junior League membership to Texas since we just moved, I also am volunteering with Habitat for Humanity, and it's more fundraising than volunteering but we usually end up going to a number of benefits through the year
My period did the exact same thing last month! I ended up peeing on a stick a week or so later when no period had returned even though we had been TTA and (obviously) it was negative. It was just a strange month for AF.
R/R/CS: meh. Slept horribly. Not much of a temp spike so I doubt I o'd yet.
GTKY: Do you do any volunteer work? If not, what kind of volunteer work could you see yourself doing, and why? I used to do a ton but in the past few years I haven't done much at all. Not sure where is like to volunteer now maybe at an animal shelter or a local museum. I used to volunteer at a museum and loved giving tours.

Cycle/Month: Cycle 7 (5 AL)
CD: 4
What are you doing to GKU? Right now it is just charting and PNV, will start up with the green tea and hyper-hydration soon, then OPKs and EOD sex around CD10.
R/R/CS: This is the only time in my cycle when I have to chill. Nothing to do but wait. I'm trying to enjoy the calm before the storm.
GTKY: Do you do any volunteer work? I volunteer with an organization once a week during the school year tutoring elementary schoolers from a challenging, under-resourced part of the city. I got my husband to do it with me this year.
What are you doing to GKU? Bbt, EOD sex, Metformin
R/R/CS: wtf body, please O soon.
GTKY: Do you do any volunteer work? If not, what kind of volunteer work could you see yourself doing, and why? I don't do any volunteer work but I would love to. There's a cat shelter the next town over and I would love to volunteer there or help feed a feral cat colony.
What are you doing to GKU? Temping, pnv, drinking lots of water
R/R/CS: getting ready for our 4th party tomorrow!
GTKY: Do you do any volunteer work? If not, what kind of volunteer work could you see yourself doing, and why? I am in charge of organizing our office volunteer events, so that is fun. Everyone gets really into it which is awesome to see. I also sometimes volunteer with an animal rescue organization, but I would like to do that more often.

I have been the worst poster lately, I don't know how often I'll be in here but today I wanna play with you guys!
wannabmama I think that legal volunteer help is AWESOME. Where I live, there are people with a lot of those needs. Our old church had a community center that helped with some of that and I thought it was fabulous.
Cycle/Month: 8
CD: 12
What are you doing to GKU? Taking vitamins, I usually O around CD 18 so just biding my time for now and tracking CM
R/R/CS: I've been out of town for over a month now and can't WAIT to go back home. It's work-related, and thankfully H and I work together, but I'm just over it. We have to go to a conference next week and then go home and move to our new place as soon as we get there. Halp??
GTKY: Do you do any volunteer work? If not, what kind of volunteer work could you see yourself doing, and why? I haven't done as much lately as I have in the past. I love volunteering in anything that helps homeless people. I've met some wonderful people there. Someday I'd like to build on my accounting education and be able to help people with their taxes or other financial problems!

What are you doing to GKU?: PNVs, BBT charting, OPKs, EOD sex during FW
R/R/CS: Got a test line that was half as dark as control line. Could mean ovulation is on it's way!
GTKY: Do you do any volunteer work? If not, what kind of volunteer work could you see yourself doing, and why?
I don't do any official work but I do foster feral cats or sometimes not feral cats. I get them spayed or neutered and then rehome them for free. I've had 14 so far in the last 5 years. It started with a pretty little feral kitten I named Tessa. I was obsessed with her and when her littermate got hit on the road I knew I had to save her. I did, got her spayed, and rehomed her to the nicest lady who still calls and gives updates five years later! Since I've had six feral kittens, three not feral but needed help kittens, 1 feral cat who was the biggest challenge ever, and 4 house cats that people I know couldn't keep (technically six but I ended up keeping a pair of them!)
The little guy I have now...
Found him outside half starved, he isn't feral but none of the neighbors claimed him.
carissa325, That is something I think I would be very interested in doing. I imagine it can get pretty emotional though.

What are you doing to GKU? Nada
R/R/CS: it's too hot for me to even function. I want my rainy pacific NW weather back!
GTKY: Do you do any volunteer work? If not, what kind of volunteer work could you see yourself doing, and why? I have volunteered at the Humane Society but I wanted to take home all the animals so I had to stop. We would like to foster children someday and I think being a Big Sister would be interesting too.
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.

What are you doing to GKU? Cursing AF
R/R/CS: I tired, AF just drains me and no such thing as enough sleep
GTKY: Do you do any volunteer work? If not, what kind of volunteer work could you see yourself doing, and why? I do mock interviews and feedback sessions for a non-profit that retrains and gets jobs for women in unfortunate situations (I don't know how else to word it ...) I will also donate financially if I can't share my time.
R/R/CS: I have a killer headache. That will be fun for the fireworks... but I did just pick up a new bra and thong at VS to surprise DH. So that has me feeling good!
GTKY: Do you do any volunteer work? If not, what kind of volunteer work could you see yourself doing, and why?
I used to, but haven't in awhile. DH really wants to work with Habitat for Humanity since he enjoys renovating. I'd like to foster a dog, but I'm not sure if DH would go for it.
R/R/CS: Last month I O'd on CD 16, but no temp rise this morning. Oh well, historically CD 18 or 19 is more likely for me. I find the timing aspect of FW stressful.
GTKY: Do you do any volunteer work? If not, what kind of volunteer work could you see yourself doing, and why? I don't volunteer much right now, but I do donate $$ to a few causes. I have a buddy through the "1Run4" organization, and I think I would like to get involved with girls on the run or another fitness and health organization for kids.

What are you doing to GKU? OPKs, Metformin, well timed sex
R/R/CS: It's both a rant a rave. I don't normally have regular periods on my own but the Met seems to be doing it's job and I have had two ovulatory cycles, yay! But These past few periods I have had raging PMS, heavy cycles, and lots of cramping which totally sucks. I feel like a major witch!
GTKY: Do you do any volunteer work? If not, what kind of volunteer work could you see yourself doing, and why? I have become involved with a new center in town that supports women experiencing pregnancy loss and new mothers. Not sure what they are going to have me do but I will likely start helping with tours of the center, fundraising activities and childcare during support groups and birthing classes. I just signed up as a center ambassador this week.
R/R/CS: O Pains starting to creep up, so I started OPKs and HIO. Fertile week is H's favorite since he's guaranteed to get lucky several times.
GTKY: Do you do any volunteer work? If not, what kind of volunteer work could you see yourself doing, and why? I don't do anything currently. I briefly volunteered at an animal shelter in college, so I would definitely get back into doing something with animals.

What are you doing to GKU? All the things
R/R/CS: bought a new swimsuit today from Victoria's Secret. We got to the pool and I realized that the straps were not in the bag. Thank goodness I had my old swimsuit with me.
GTKY: Do you do any volunteer work? If not, what kind of volunteer work could you see yourself doing, and why? I don't really do any volunteering, but I would love to volunteer at the hospital
