What are you doing to GKU? Nothing today.
R/R/CS: wtf. I'm just kinda getting irritated that I'm not KU yet; I guess it's starting to hit me that it's taking this.long.
On the plus side at least I can indulge in all of the labor day weekend drinking festivities ::sigh::
GTKY: Since Fall is in the air, what's your favorite thing about fall? The smells lol. And the start of the holiday season, I freaking love the holidays.

What are you doing to GKU: Temping, CM, Pre-seed, OPKs, sex
RRCS: It seems I may have ovulated. Just waiting on temps to confirm. My cycles have gotten very predictable. I'd guess yesterday was O day based on symptoms but we'll see. Well, no packing got done yesterday. Maybe something will happen today. They also moved up our move in date a day which is exciting!
GTKY: Green chile season, the fair, and the International Balloon Fiesta. Seriously, the best smell aside from horses and leather is the smell of roasting green chile and it is ALL over the city this time of year.

What are you doing to GKU? All the things.
R/R/CS: I had an initial consult with the RE last week and we'll be doing CD3 bloodwork and an HSG in the next week or so. It's exciting, but scary especially because we have no IF insurance coverage and we will be paying 100% OOP. The financial burden alone seems daunting.

R/R/CS: I think I ovulated Friday. Just waiting for confirmation. My temps are all weird because I didn't temp a couple of days this week because of waking early; once for a stomachache and once for a 5k.
GTKY: Since Fall is in the air, what's your favorite thing about fall? Everything! Cooler temps, the holidays, windy days, wearing jeans and sweaters and boots. I love it all.

Not sweating! And wearing scarves and boots.
Best of luck to you this month with everything requiressnacks! I know we are in very difference states with GKU, but we are both on cycle day 1 so hope September brings both of us some good luck :-)

Sorry for CD1, rungirlrun. Hope the race went well and the CD1 symptoms didn't make it too uncomfortable.
Sorry for CD1, requiressnacks. Hope things go well with the RE. I'll be calling soon to make our first RE appointment too...

What are you doing to GKU? BBT, CM, OPKs, EOD
R/R/CS: Definitely in my FW now. Hopefully I'll O on/around CD14 like usual.
GTKY: Since Fall is in the air, what's your favorite thing about fall? Everything? Fall is my favorite season. I love pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin doughnuts, apple picking, apple cider doughnuts, crisp fall weather, leaves changing color, Thanksgiving, .... I can't pick a favorite because I love it all!
ETA - Somewhat surprisingly, I got a positive OPK today. So it looks like I might O a little early (for me) this cycle...
What are you doing to GKU? charting temps and CF - I don't think my temps are going to be very accurate, though, because I don't sleep well at all and my sleep is never consistent.
R/R/CS: I'm new and I don't really know what this means. Rants & Raves? I'm trying to guess, based on other people's responses. Anyway, I'll just go ahead and say that if this cycle is anything like my previous cycles (mind you, I've been on BCP for the past 6 years and this is my first cycle off it), I should ovulate on or around Saturday.
GTKY: Since Fall is in the air, what's your favorite thing about fall? I love the weather and getting the fire pit in our backyard going when then temperatures cool down.

R/R/CS = Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks. Basically you can talk about anything that's on your mind, or ask for FF chart stalks if you have any charting related questions.

Yeah, the likelihood of your cycles being the same as 6 years ago is slim. Add on that this is your first cycle off birth control and it might as well be a joke. Good luck and all, but definitely don't count on it.
And yeah, it's rants/raves/chart stalks.
As for the sleep, I don't sleep a consistent number of hours or wake up at a consistent time and I still get pretty reliable charts. I temp vaginally and it seems to help the rockiness a bit. You never know until you try.
Thank you. I know I shouldn't count on anything, but I got pregnant the first cycle trying, both times coming off BCP. I know it's been a while and I'm old now, so I have to expect that thing won't be so easy this time. It's hard not to be hopeful, though.
I started temping this morning and I'm doing it vaginally because I heard it's more reliable. We shall see!
What are you doing to GKU? EOD, PNV, water, CM, BBT...you name it.
R/R/CS: I'm a bit confused, but it's my fault because I didn't temp the first 10 days to reduce stress. I got an almost positive OPK this morning, so I may have hit the end of my surge because I just got a much lighter one. I hope it's accurate, because O'ing this early would be a first for me, but I doubt it is. Sometimes I'll get surges before the real deal and then it's super obvious and I get multiple signs (CM, ovulation pain, super positive OPK). We'll see what my temps do. Maybe not knowing when I O'd will make me less stressed overall.
GTKY: Since Fall is in the air, what's your favorite thing about fall? Everything-the weather, the food, the scents (Leaves from Bath and Body Works is my favorite!)
What are you doing to GKU? Bbt, pnv, opk starting tomorrow-ish
R/R/CS: stayed over my parents place this weekend and forgot my thermometer. Boo. I'm losing my brain.
GTKY: Since Fall is in the air, what's your favorite thing about fall? The crisp weather. Fall is my favorite season. I love how it's not scorching hot or super humid.
