R/R/CS: this was my most frustrating cycle but then my fertility signs were the strongest. First ewcm i've noticed and clear positive wondo's 2 x that day. Huge temp spike this morning. Its all making sense now! Just waiting for ch's but I'm pretty certain it happened.
GTKY: What is the last romantic thing you did for DH? I'm not sure recently...but i baked him cookies for March 14th- the male valentine's day I call it. I wrote on one big "I love you more than..." then smaller ones had "Homer loves marg" etc. It was a pinterest copy cat.
CD 15/4DPO. We hit -2, -1 & +1. Testing on 8/12 (13DPO) if I make it that far. RANT: I usually skip breakfast and I'm trying to do better with it. I brought this frozen breakfast bowl thing to work this morning & it's bad. Really bad.
H & I aren't romantical people. I don't think I've ever done something romantic for him. Do blow jobs count? I look in his eyes and everything..much romance.

GTKY: What is the last romantic thing you did for DH? ( selfish question as i need to bring the romance back in my world so need some ideas)
I have no idea. We're not super romantic, I mean sometimes we light a candle before getting it on, but that's about it. However, we always tell each other we love each other and make sure to thank the other for the little things like cleaning up the kitchen or mowing the lawn.
Timing: -5, -4, -1 (x2), O, +1 (being off BCPs makes me frisky. I have been missing out all this time!)
Testing Plans: I don't know. Last cycle I had a really short LP, so we'll see.
R/R/CS: Not much. Got some heartburn this morning, but it has nothing to do with my cycle. It's just annoying me and making my one cup of coffee not quite as good. Burping coffee is the worst.
GTKY: What is the last romantic thing you did for DH? ( selfish question as i need to bring the romance back in my world so need some ideas) H is so much more romantic than I am. He always writes stuff in cards and it makes me teary, and when it's my turn I write something like "You stink, I love you." I just can't do it. But we do nice things for each other all the time, and he really likes it when I touch him for no reason. So I guess that.
Re: breakfast - I have a protein shake every morning. I'm a creature of habit.

Cycle/Month: 2/2
CD/DPO: 23/8
Timing: -3,-1,O
Testing Plans: I'll probably start testing at 10DPO because I am impatient.
R/R/CS: I had a really big temp drop to just below cover yesterday at 7 DPO and today it shot back up. I slept in a hotel room Saturday night and it was a little cooler in there than my house usually is so maybe that affected it. I also had a solid 3 hours of sleep before I temped, which is very rare for me so maybe that affected it. I'm trying to not read too much into it because I know it often doesn't mean anything but I can't help but be hopeful that it was an implantation dip. I guess I'll see if a few days.
GTKY: What is the last romantic thing you did for DH? ( selfish question as i need to bring the romance back in my world so need some ideas). Does the fact that I didn't rip him to shreds when he tried to pick a fight with me first thing this morning count as romantic? I showed great restraint.

R/R/CS: Huge temp drop, but I told myself it was because of the A/C. I made up squinters on my test yesterday. AF should arrive today or tomorrow.
GTKY: What is the last romantic thing you did for DH? Not really sure and we just celebrated our Anniversary this weekend. Like PP said, do blow jobs count?
Testing Plans: if no AF today, testing tomorrow. still cramping, though. brought tampons to work.
R/R/CS: craaaaamps. oh, and weekend was way too short. (isn't it always...)
GTKY: What is the last romantic thing you did for DH? Do stuff for him he doesn't like (folding his shirts, loading the dishwasher, taking out the non-recycling trash). Or let him sleep in and do kid duty on weekend mornings, then have breakfast ready. He really thinks with his stomach, so anything with food is a huge plus in his book.

Cycle/Month: 9/10
CD/DPO: 23/6
Timing: -2, -1, O
Testing Plans: Saturday
R/R/CS: Ughhhhhhhh Monday. My temp dipped to cover line today. Super.
GTKY: What is the last romantic thing you did for DH? ( selfish question as i need to bring the romance back in my world so need some ideas)
I don't do any really obvious romantic things, but DH seems to really like when I leave notes for him in the morning and/or pack his lunch for him. Oh, and sexting during the day tends to put him in the mood.
P.S. I eat a Fage greek yogurt most weekdays. It is pretty good, as far as greek yogurts go.

Testing Plans: Officially on AF watch. Honestly this cycle I don't even care. I just want to start before Thursday. Really don't want to be on the beach wearing super tampons and my thunder pads.
R/R/CS: ^above.
GTKY: What is the last romantic thing you did for DH? ( selfish question as i need to bring the romance back in my world so need some ideas) Snap. Umm. I wore some sexy lingerie the last time we had sex? We're celebrating our anniversary while on vacation. My parents are watching DS one night so we can have a date night. So hopefully we can get some romance in.
Also, I'm on like CD4 (or 3, I keep forgetting to temp) but I sort of wanted to answer the GTKY.

One thing I've learned about my husband over the years is he really appreciates spur of the moment romance over carefully planned things. He also isn't really into typical 'romantic' type gestures. However, if I do something that makes his life easier, no matter how small or compliment him out of the blue he loves it.
So with that in mind, I try to listen to his wishful thinking. He's been saying he feels overwhelmed with remembering times/appointments but doesn't find his phone all that useful. So when I was shopping I found a small magnetic dry erase board with the days of the week on it. I hung it up and jotted down the appointments for the week, what I was tentatively planning for dinner, what days I work late, etc. He loved it and said it was amazing. Not really traditional 'romance' but hey. It was something simple and fixed a 'problem' he had. He said it meant a lot to him that I recognized the issue and solved it instead of ignoring it.
Okay, sorry that was enough rambling for one monday morning.

This is super sweet @terraiin - I definitely need to do more of this instead of nagging him for always forgetting to do things!
