Cycle/month: 15/12
CD: 12
What are you doing to GKU: All.the.sex this week. I already prepared H; usually I just initiate more during my FW but yesterday I straight out told him that we are HIO every day this week, no ifs, ands, or buts (haw haw). + the other acronyms that apply.
RRCs: Had an *almost* + OPK this morning, soooo close. So I have one in my purse for work to test again in a bit.
GTKY: The Weeknd! OMG I've been maybe possibly obsessed lately. Which is a little odd because I don't usually listen to much R&B/pop other than the radio but damned if I haven't been all over him on Pandora. AND, do I admit this? My favorite Pandora station lately is Tove Lo, of course it's been tweaked now but it plays her, the weeknd, Banks, all sorts of stuff I've been jamming out to at work.
Thanks for starting thechickencoop. Yay for an almost positive opk! Fx for you for a full positive today.
Cycle/month: 3
CD: 23
What are you doing to GKU: bbt, pnv, opk
RRCs: Finally got my positive opk!
GTKY: What have you been listening to lately? Not much to be honest. I have a long commute so I've been doing books on tape instead of listening to the radio. Just finished The Martian. It was really good. Other than that I listen to a lot of whatever DD wants me to play on my phone. Recently that consists of Raffi and Barbra Ann by the beach boys...oye.
RRCs: I think I O'd yesterday! I got a basically + OPK plus felt so crampy and bloated. My temp jumped up today too. I'm going to stick around here for a couple of days anyway just to be sure. and keep HIO, just in case.
GTKY: I am loving the new Cold War Kids album. It's awesome. I'm also listening to a lot of the Radiolab podcast and it's so so good.
Cycle/month: 4/6 CD: 30 What are you doing to GKU: opks, temping RRCs: <insert thumb twiddling gif here> I am waiting to O. If I follow the patterns of my last cycle hopefully my FW will be next week. Fingers crossed.... GTKY: What have you been listening to lately? I usually listen to the Adam Carolla podcast. I like that guy.

What are you doing to GKU: all the things!
RRCs: nada
GTKY: What have you been listening to lately?
I've been mostly listening to podcasts and books lately. My commute sucks so they help. This American Life is my favorite.
And I don't remember who suggested it, but I tried Welcome to Nighvale and I'm so lost! I listened to 3 episodes and I think I'll try a few more and see if I can get into it.
RRCs: Ready to get the show on the road. Feel like I am so far from O!
GTKY: What have you been listening to lately? Not a lot actually. Well we did just get a new sound system in our house. It is pretty cool. We got a free trial of Rhapsody and it is awesome! You can play any song you can think of right then and there. We had our friends over a few weekends ago and we were playing all our old favs. Definitely an eclectic mix going on. Some Nsync and Dashboard Confessional.

I'm excited to see all these + OPKs!
Cycle/month: 4/4
CD: 2
What are you doing to GKU: BBT, PNV, waiting for my period to end so I can get this show on the road.
RRCs: Nothing about my chart, but I did see my doctor yesterday. We talked about the PMDD. There's nothing else she can do to help me at this point because it's so specialized and not well-studied. HOWEVER (!!!) her doctor-friend has a doctor-friend that she got me an appointment with. It's a new-ish office that specializes in women's hormones and reproductive issues. The doctor she set me up with deals with PMDD!! I am so happy right now. It is my goal to never go back on BCPs if I can help it, and I thought that I wouldn't be able to even stay off long enough to GKU. But maaaaaaybe this can really work. My appt isn't until the end of the month, so I'll probably have my flare around O-time before then, but at least there is hope.
GTKY: What have you been listening to lately? Lots of Sinatra-style stuff and bossanova music.

Cycle/month: I've lost track at this point. I believe this is cycle 5 or 6 since burning the bench?
CD: Spotting is getting heavier so I'm sure CD 1 will be in full force later today. Whomp whomp whomp.
What are you doing to GKU: After my period ends, temping & sex as per usual.
RRCs: This failed cycle hit me harder than any other one has. On a positive note, I ordered two pairs of jeans from Target, sight unseen & without ever trying them on. They fit PERFECTLY and they were on sale. This is amazing!
GTKY: What have you been listening to lately? I usually listen to audiobooks in the car, but when DD is with me this is all she wants to listen to. Fine by me because I kind of fucking love this song.
Number One: Born 06.16.2009 BFP: 01.17.2014 / MC 02.05.2014 BFP: 03.08.2014 / MMC: 05.07.2014 Dx: Partial Molar/GTD. Benched until 01.2015 Number Two: Born 07.22.2016

Cycle/month: 4
CD: 9
What are you doing to GKU: BBT, OPKs, Preseed, pom juice
RRCs: Our goal for frequent sex this week is not working out. DD has been running a fever and is just not feeling well so her sleep has been crappy and she is ending up in our bed very early.
GTKY: What have you been listening to lately? The radio in my car is on Alt Nation 99% of the time. I have really been liking Elle King and The Wombats lately.
What are you doing to GKU: Just waiting out AF at the moment
RRCs: I have my CD3 bloodwork and ultrasound tomorrow (Apparently that can happen any day between CD2 and CD4? The more you know...), and then as soon as DH gets in for HIS bloodwork, we can have our follow-up consult with the RE! I'm so excited to keep moving along toward answers and/or treatment.
GTKY: What have you been listening to lately? Not much on my own. Basically whatever comes on the radio while I'm driving to and from work, and I have about six stations I flip between because I hate the commercials. (Lately they've all been airing ads for the two biggest fertility clinics in the area, and I get irrationally angry when the comforting voice goes, "Have you been trying unsuccessfully to have a baby? It's time to call Shady Grove Fertility." The last time DH was in the car with me that commercial came on, and he actually said back to the radio, "We've already done that!" I cracked up.)
What are you doing to GKU: Starting at CD 12, OPKS 2x a day, HIO EOD, possibly going to drink green tea.
RRCs: Nothin'.
GTKY: What have you been listening to lately? I listen to just about everything honestly! Just depends on what I feel like that day. Recently it was country music, Thirty Seconds to Mars, Macklemore, and some other random stuff.
R/R/CS: Dear asshole of a body - JUST FUCKING O. Legit, there have been a grand total of maybe 13 days out of the past 40 that I haven't had copious amounts of EWCM. Like, seriously. What is going on?
H tried to convince me yesterday to take an HPT. Like, no, dude. Just no.
GTKY: Mostly country music. Out of BC, because the signal is better.
That's great news cocobellaf, I hope she has some answers for you!
Cycle/month: 10/9
CD: 3
What are you doing to GKU: Took my first Femara pill this morning. IUI should be in a couple weeks.
RRCs: I'm sort of hoping for twins, even though I know Femara has a pretty low multiples rates and I'm 5' so there is no where for two babies to go. After all this craziness I'd like to only do this once.
GTKY: What have you been listening to lately? I'm listening to my usual half NPR half Alt music. This is one of my current faves:
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. IUI with Clomid & Trigger Jan 2016 BFN IUI #13 with Follistim April 2016 BFFN IVF #1 July 2016. 14R, 10F, 6 Day 5 embryos. 4 PGS normal embabies!
That's great news cocobellaf, I hope she has some answers for you!

Just an anecdote, but my friend is 5'0" and had twins the first time.
I don't know where they went, but she did it. No C-section, either.

What are you doing to GKU: BBT, OPK, sex, water, basically the usual
RRCs: My bug from yesterday turned out to be a 24 hour thing so I woke up feeling normal again, yay! And it looks like I won't O until at least Friday so I'm happy that we can get some good timing in this cycle. My H knows it's go time for the next few days.
GTKY: What have you been listening to lately? Eh not much that's exciting. I only listen to stuff in the car, and I don't drive very far ever so whatever is on the radio.

Cycle/mo:4 CD:2
AF came two days earlier than anticipated this round (24 day cycle instead of 26/27) and I was totally bummed out- it was also just hours after I'd caved and got a BFN on a HPT. In the scheme of things I know 3 months of trying is nothing but it didn't take this long with either of my other pregnancies. I'm impatient! Will start temping and OPK in a few.
Listening to: NPR or whatever is on top 40. I need some inspiration!
