What are you doing to GKU? Trying to not claw my uterus out bc of cramps.
R/R/CS: Well, I get to drink in Greece during our trip at the end of the month so I guess that's a rave. But I'll also miss a FW while there which sucks. I get to start Femara for cycle 9.
GTKY: I still love walking in to Office Depot bc it was my favorite part of back to school shopping. New pens and notebooks will always be special to me.

R/R/CS: Just ready to get this show on the road and get rid of these damn cramps. They've been getting worse every cycle and I'm not impressed.
GTKY: In honor of school starting back up soon, what was your favorite part of back to school shopping as a kid? We were poor, I never went school shopping.
Thanks for starting JustJudy! Sorry you woke up to CD1.

What are you doing to GKU? BBT, PNV, H2O, SEX, starting OPKs tomorrow
R/R/CS: I'm really hoping that the OPKs help us. We always get burned out on sex by the time I O each cycle, so I hope that if I get positive OPKs, we'll know that it's go time regardless.
GTKY: In honor of school starting back up soon, what was your favorite part of back to school shopping as a kid?
My grandma would take my sister and me back-to-school shopping every year. My parents didn't have much money, so grandma would make sure we got some new clothes and shoes every year.
R/R/CS: FF took my CH's away, which I had a feeling they would cause CD 11 seemed too early for me to ovulate.
GTKY: In honor of school starting back up soon, what was your favorite part of back to school shopping as a kid? I enjoyed shopping for new notebooks/pencils/pens. I love new things.
R/R/CS:I bike to work. The hot and muggy temps these days have me arriving a hot and sweaty mess, but only under my helmet (I'm too slow to break a sweat elsewhere....)Just icky. But not so icky I'd go without a helmet.
GTKY: Luuuurved all the binders and pens, and fresh reams of paper, and art supplies, and picking out my outfit, and....oh, man.
What are you doing to GKU? Eventually we better have super human sex
R/R/CS: of course I tested this am since no AF and 15dpo, which was dumb bc my temp was down, but my LP is never this long. AF showed up an hour later. I also got to sit between two pregnant ladies on the way to work, both of whom spent the whole time rubbing their bellies. I wanted to claw my eyes out. I try not to be like that...but I just could not deal today.
GTKY: In honor of school starting back up soon, what was your favorite part of back to school shopping as a kid? Oh I loved back to school. I get jealous even now if I see a kid or mom or even teacher getting back to school stuff. I loved the pens the most and of course new backpacks and clothes! I got just as excited to get supplies even in law school...I was 30...ha!

What are you doing to GKU? Waiting for period to stop and also drinking at least 8 glasses of water or more a day. Staying hydrated last cycle really helped with getting decent ewcm.
R/R/CS: Back to work after a 4 day weekend is hard.
GTKY: In honor of school starting back up soon, what was your favorite part of back to school shopping as a kid? I loved getting a new pencil case and new pencils. That's all we got but I loved them every year.
What are you doing to GKU? Sex and started using a OPK.
R/R/CS: Nothin'
GTKY: In honor of school starting back up soon, what was your favorite part of back to school shopping as a kid? When I was little it was about picking out a new lunch box, crayons/markers, that kind of thing. Middle school and high school it was all about new clothes and shoes.
What are you doing to GKU? Will be starting up the sex and OPK's. Let's get this party started.
R/R/CS: Not much today. Yay Hump day.
GTKY: In honor of school starting back up soon, what was your favorite part of back to school shopping as a kid?
We were allowed to get one new pair of shoes each year. It was very exciting. I can still remember some of the shoes I picked out because I would spend weeks picking them out.
R/R/CS: this is officially our last non-medicated cycle. It hit me last night and I told DH that crap just got real.
GTKY: In honor of school starting back up soon, what was your favorite part of back to school shopping as a kid? My birthday is the week before school so I always got back to school clothes as my present. When I was in HS and College I loved buying everything to match/color code and filling in my planner with everything from the syllabus and organization meetings. I had to use an oversized desk calendar in college to fit it all in.
What are you doing to GKU? BBT, Metformin, waiting for AF to leave
R/R/CS: Nada
GTKY: In honor of school starting back up soon, what was your favorite part of back to school shopping as a kid? My mom used to sew my clothes, so going to Joann Fabrics and picking out patterns and fabrics was my favorite part. I hate to sew now though, go figure.
GTKY: In honor of school starting back up soon, what was your favorite part of back to school shopping as a kid?
I loved getting brand new folders and matching notebooks. I used to beg for Lisa Frank ones but they were way too expensive, so mostly I'd get solid colors. Sometimes as a treat my mom would let me pick out 2 Lisa Frank folders or one notebook. Decisions were hard.
What are you doing to GKU? Starting Monday HIO EOD
R/R/CS: NA
GTKY: In honor of school starting back up soon, what was your favorite part of back to school shopping as a kid? My mom took us every year, I wouldn't wear my new school clothes until school started and then I would pick out of everything I got my favorite outfit for the first day! I tried everything on a dozen times in the mirror in my room to make sure I picked just the right thing lol!
What are you doing to GKU? Bbt, pnv, CM, sex, started OPKs today
R/R/CS: I got a faint line on the wondfo today so that makes me wonder if I will O earlier than CD18 like last month. I didn't get any type of line on the wondfo until like CD16 last month.
GTKY: In honor of school starting back up soon, what was your favorite part of back to school shopping as a kid? I loved picking out my first day outfit. And getting a new box of crayons so I could put them in an "order" that made sense only to me. In case y'all haven't picked up on this yet... I am a *touch* on the OCD side

What are you doing to GKU? BBT, OPKs, pre-seed
R/R/CS: I meant to start OPKs with SMU today but I forgot and drank a bottle of water on my way to work this morning so that means diluted SMU. I'm going to try to hold off drinking anything at lunch so hopefully I can test early afternoon.
GTKY: In honor of school starting back up soon, what was your favorite part of back to school shopping as a kid? I loved everything about school shopping. My favorite was probably shopping for clothes and figuring out what outfit I liked best so I could wear that the first day. I found out that my SIL didn't take my 11 year old niece shopping for school clothes this year because she figured she could just wear her hand-me downs, both clothes and shoes (and SIL preferred to use the money to buy herself new clothes). That made me sad for my niece.

What are you doing to GKU? Some of the things.
R/R/CS: my temp went up a bit, but it may have been from a couple drinks I had last night.
GTKY: I grew up poor too @led, so it was always a little stressful to get what I needed. I was able to have some supplies, but rarely did I get new school clothes. I didove picking out folders though.
What are you doing to GKU? At CD 10 we'll start EOD and using OPKs.
R/R/CS: I just found out my boss is leaving, his last day is Thursday. I'm really happy for him because he's going to be doing something he really loves, but sad for me.
GTKY: In honor of school starting back up soon, what was your favorite part of back to school shopping as a kid? I loved going back to school shopping with my mom! She would take each one of us shopping individually so we got to spend one on one time with her, and then we would go back to our grandparents house (where they other sibling would be) and would put on a little fashion show with what we got. It was always so exciting getting to pick out new clothes for the year!

What are you doing to GKU? Hanging out until the bleeding stops. And we have our first RE appointment Friday, about which I'm both happy and sad.
R/R/CS: Meh. My temp has apparently decided not to drop for the time being, so that's different. First time in 20 charted cycles that it has stayed up after I got my period. Bodies are assholes.
GTKY: In honor of school starting back up soon, what was your favorite part of back to school shopping as a kid? I loved getting home with all my new school supplies and getting them organized before the first day - pencils, erasers, crayons and scissors arranged in the pencil case, paper put into three-ring binders, notebooks labeled with my name, etc. I was a freak about keeping my desk neat.
What are you doing to GKU? BBT, PNV, OPKs, EOD or ED.
R/R/CS: Day 2 with a positive OPK today. This is my first cycle using them so I don't know what to expect or when I'll O. Last 2 cycles O day was CD 17 so we'll see I guess.
GTKY: In honor of school starting back up soon, what was your favorite part of back to school shopping as a kid?
All of the school supplies. It was so fun picking out folders, pens, pencils, markers and all that fun stuff!
R/R/CS: I forgot to order Wondfo's before leaving on my vacation. I'm down to 14 OPKs in my stash. Started testing way too early last cycle. I think this cycle we'll wait until day 14 or 15 (usually O somewhere between cd19 and cd21) rather than starting on cd 10 like last cycle.
Feeling a little more hopeful this cycle because after 12 cycles, things seem to be stabilizing out to a semi-predictable pattern.
GTKY: We were pretty broke when I was a kid too. Clothes shopping was usually Goodwill or Walmart if we were having a good year financially. The best thing we got to do was pick a new pair of shoes at Payless.

What are you doing to GKU? Vaaaccaaarion sex! We're heading from the beach to the campground tomorrow so the next 4 days will consist of sex in the car while DS sleeps in the tent (car is at the site...can't leave the 3 y/o alone...::sigh: so that'll be fun
R/R/CS: no temping or OPKS this cycle. Blah. Plus my steering broke in our truck here so we have a fucking 1000 mechanic bill. But at least it'll be fixed before our drive tomorrow. Still sucks major balls though.
GTKY: In honor of school starting back up soon, what was your favorite part of back to school shopping as a kid? I always loved getting new markers, pens, colored pencils, etc. Stuff to color with!
