R/R/CS: I am having a super light period which is fabulous but always makes me nervous that it is not really a period. I know if you have bright red to count but still.

What are you doing to GKU? PNV when I remember, BBT, watching for fertile-ish CM.
R/R/CS: Not much. I've had 2 interesting dips in my chart over the past few days, but I'm chalking that up to the seasons changing. Negative OPK this morning. Nothing exciting happening over hurr.
GTKY: In a world of superheroes and villains. What's your powers? Are you the sidekick? H and I were just discussing this while we were watching the Avengers movie yesterday. He thinks my superpowers would be super-smart and super-fast. That seems kind of boring to me. I'd like my superpower to have the healing factor/regneration, like Wolverine!

What are you doing to GKU? Pnv, bbt, going to jump MH starting midweek next week ha.
R/R/CS: nothing, just fx I can get good temp shift and opk line up so I know O date more confidently this time around.
GTKY: In a world of superheroes and villains. What's your powers? Are you the sidekick? Hmmm, I think I'd like invisibility and I'm cool being the sidekick...being in charge is exhausting, ha. I'll provide some comic relief
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.

Are you the sidekick? I am totally a sidekick. My super power would probably be something lame, like that episode of Family Guy where all Meg could do was grow her fingernails really fast. I would not be a good super hero.

What are you doing to GKU? All the things - BBT, OPK and sex
R/R/CS: I'm 99% sure I am going to get CH's for CD15 but I am 99% sure that CD16 (yesterday) was O day. Oh well - I'll just wait for my temps to confirm or deny.
GTKY: In a world of superheroes and villains. What's your powers? Are you the sidekick?
I'd like to be invisible. And I'd like to be the one that can be more laid back - so the sidekick role.

What are you doing to GKU? BBT, OPKs, pom juice
R/R/CS: Just waiting for a +OPK. I really would love to aim for sex everyday during my FW but I just don't know if I have it in me.
GTKY: In a world of superheroes and villains. What's your powers? Are you the sidekick? I definitely want to be invisible - I would love to be able to go spy on the bad guys. And I would be the sidekick. Much less pressure.
R/R/CS: Oh just CD 1 over here...plus side, not a lot of cramps so far so that's good.
GTKY: The ability to see into the future...you know, to be able to prevent bad things from happening. If probably be the sidekick. Much less attention...I'm a fly under the radar kinda gal.
What are you doing to GKU? Temping, CM, CP, Sex (which we really should get started on for this cycle since my chart is all over the place)
R/R/CS: Still just confused. On a typical pre-loss cycle I would have O'd yesterday, but CM/CP don't currently indicate an approaching FW and FF is still giving me CHs putting me at 6DPO, which I don't believe because of vacation temping being all off.
On a good note, my hCG came back at 3 today which is low enough for my dr office to consider "zero". No more blood draws!!!
GTKY: In a world of superheroes and villains. What's your powers? Are you the sidekick? All the powers!!!! I would probably be the sidekick, but I would be the most awesome sidekick ever!

What are you doing to GKU? Just waiting, will start having sex once my period is over.
R/R/CS: Question - Has anyone had just one really weird cycle and then things return to their 'normal'? I typically have pretty short cycles, ovulate around CD 11 and have a 14 day LP. This past month I ovulated on CD20 and had an LP of 9 days. Really hope last cycle was an anomaly and I can just chalk it up to being super stressed.
GTKY: In a world of superheroes and villains. What's your powers? Are you the sidekick? Definitely sidekick. I'd love the power to travel some place instantly. Or to heal sicknesses.

Yes - lately I've been O-ing around CD15-17. I had a couple cycles where I didn't O until CD39. Sometimes there's no rhyme or reason to it.

What are you doing to GKU? BBT, also OPKs & sex soon.
R/R/CS: I'm happy that H is noticing I've been upset lately & yesterday he stepped up the hugs and back-rubs. Also he said "we *need* chocolate" when we went grocery shopping together. It's funny cuz he doesn't really eat chocolate but he definitely *needed* to get it for me
GTKY: I'd fly, obviously, and also I'd have the ability to pause and rewind time.
What are you doing to GKU? starting OPKs soon and IUI this weekend
R/R/CS: I'm so happy that my temps have been really stable this cycle so far. I've been working on my stress levels and perhaps it's working.
GTKY: In a world of superheroes and villains. What's your powers? Are you the sidekick? I would definitely want to fly and have super human reflexes. I'm cool with being a sidekick.

Count it as CD1 only if it's enough to use a pad or tampon. Color doesn't matter as much as quantity.

Yes. Totally normal to have one "off" cycle. Any number of things can change the length of your follicular phase.
GTKY: Oh man, you guys have so many good ideas. I'd only want invisibility if I had a suit that would go invisible with me (no naked invisibility, thank you). Scared to death of heights, so no flying for me.
I think I'll go with super stretchiness like the mom in The Incredibles. And definitely the sidekick.
What are you doing to GKU? PNV, daily vitamin for DH, starting at CD 12 OPKs 2x a day and HIO EOD.
R/R/CS: Dh and I have not had sex that has successfully ended in over two weeks. We've tried twice and he hasn't been able to finish either time for one reason or another, kind of frustrating.
GTKY: In a world of superheroes and villains. What's your powers? Are you the sidekick? I would basically be like Superman power-wise, because I'm a BA. And I would not be the sidekick, because I don't like being told what to do, and I like bossing others around. DH would probably be my sidekick.

R/R/CS: so is it bad that I'm sending a message to get in to see my Ob/Gyn for my annual exam and also to discuss next steps since we have been trying for close to a year (or by the time I get in a year).....H is also going to set up an appointment with hisdoctor to discuss things and get a referral for a SA. This Saturday is exactly 11 months of trying and then will be starting month 12.

I think it's fine. I mean by the time you get the annual exam, get the referral and set an appointment with the RE you'll either be at 12 months or well past it (depending on wait times).
And if it turns out you get pregnant in the meantime, no harm done.

I don't think it's bad at all. Appointments are usually not immediate so I don't think it hurts to begin having that conversation with your dr. I'm really sorry you have to have the conversation at all, but I don't think it's bad to start looking into getting in for an appointment for the discussion.

I say go for it. All my OB did was give me a referral to an RE. Also, my RE's office did the SA so you may want to just wait and do it all together. Some RE offices are finicky about any testing that has been done prior or not by them.

What are you doing to GKU? I meant to start OPK's today, but I forgot to bring them to work. I guess I'll start tomorrow. Other than that...sex, PNVs, BBT, etc.
R/R/CS: None, yet. I feel like this cycle is taking forever, though.
GTKY: In a world of superheroes and villains. What's your powers? Are you the sidekick? I'm not really into superheroes, so I guess I'd be a sidekick. Maybe with really good organizational skills or something, so my superhero friend doesn't miss any world-saving appointments or anything.
R/R/CS: Lately has been a big struggle for me. I met with my OB/GYN back in July because she wanted me to check in after 6 months given my suspected endo (started endo treatment at 17 but have never had an official diagnosis through surgery because I responded well to treatment and it seemed unnecessary at the time). She gave me the option in July of having DH do an SA and then doing an endo-related lap on me, but I decided to keep trying for a few more months. Now I have my annual exam in a month and I know it's time to pull the trigger and schedule the lap to check out the endo situation, but I'm just scared - I've never had surgery before and it just makes the whole issue seem a lot more real. My mom and sis both have had the surgery and it helped them, so hopefully it will at least be worth it if I get to that point.
GTKY: In a world of superheroes and villains. What's your powers? Are you the sidekick? I'd really love to have telekinetic powers - so cool! And I'm more of a leader than a sidekick.
