Cycle/month;
4/6
CD:
38
What are you doing to GKU:
temping, OPKs and sexing
RRCS:
I think I was gearing up to ovulate, but then my dumb body changed its mind. I am really, really disappointed and I hope this cycle does not turn into a giant clusterfuck.
UO: I have a headache, so the best I have right now is a food UO: I hate all pumpkin things. I'll try to come up with something better in a little bit.

[ironbaby]

Sorry for the fake out, acorn99. I hope your cycle sorts itself out soon and you O. I am with you on the pumpkin dislike. I enjoy baking with it bc my H loves it, but I just don't like it. Except pumpkin beer, yum.

[wannabmama]

Cycle/month; 13

CD: 8

What are you doing to GKU: can't wait to get home and jump MH (too early for GKU but don't currrrr). And then all the usual.

RRCS: none

UO: I can never think of a good one for UOs! I must be a follower.

[sleepymonkey]

Cycle/month: 4

CD: 17

What are you doing to GKU: BBT, OPKs, Preseed, pom juice

RRCS: My OPK was negative yesterday morning and then yesterday afternoon it almost looked positive but I'm not sure. This morning it was definitely positive. My temp started going up today so I'm wondering if maybe yesterday afternoon's test was actually positive and I'm O'ing today (I usually O the day after my first +OPK). If that's true our timing will be exactly the same this month as the previous 2 months. I was really hoping to get one more day in. I hate being unsure if an OPK is + and I'm cursing myself for not buying more digitals.

UO: I'm horrible with UOs. I don't think most of my opinions are that unpopular except for a few that can be very controversial/sensitive topics so I keep them to myself because I don't like to stir up drama.

[pbandj714]

Cycle/month: 6(2AL)/10

CD: 53


What are you doing to GKU: all things


RRCS: Still here. acorn99, I'm sorry you're also dealing with a long cycle. I hope yours doesn't turn into a total cluster.


UO: Sleeping with socks on in the fall/winter is the best.

[cocobellaf]

Cycle/month: 4

CD: 10


What are you doing to GKU: OPKs, BBT, PNV, sex EOD


RRCS: Started OPKs. We'll see if I O around CD18 like the previous 2 cycles!


UO: Infinity scarves. I look like a dork in them.

[britta]

Cycle/month: 3/3

CD: 3

What are you doing to GKU: Waiting out AF, started temping again this morning

RRCS: I decided against picking up an extra shift last night. Meeting a GF for coffee this morning!

UO: I hate Halloween. Like to the point that it's going to be hard for me to get excited about it for DS's sake.

[wannabmama]

pbandj714 I love wearing socks to bed...I like the room really cold and then to get all cozy under blankets, socks on.
britta oh my, Halloween is one of my very favorite holidays! I really hope I have a kiddo someday so I can do cute costumes.

Lurking.... Oh god no. No to socks in bed. Unless the furnace is broke.

Cycle/month: 17/15

CD: 11

What are you doing to GKU: Wishing? See below.

RRCS: DH and I talked last night, and he wants to sit this cycle out. I get it; he's still on painkillers and those can make it difficult/frustrating for him to finish, but I can't help feeling disappointed. Of course, during the conversation I did think to myself, what does it matter anyway? It's not like having all the sex has ever actually worked for us to get pregnant. TTC for a long time really sucks.

UO: wannabmama, I'm terrible at these too. Ummm... let's see. I don't know how unpopular it is, given the dismal ratings the Emmy's got the other night, but I will say that I think awards shows are boring.

Cycle/month; 1/1

CD: 4


What are you doing to GKU: BBT and PNV


RRCS: just waiting to head home. I leave a week from tomorrow. Cannot wait!


UO: I dislike most tattoos. I think they look artsy but in all honesty can't get on board. Especially neck tattoos.

Also dislike Halloween here. It is hard to et excited about even for DD.

Cycle/month: Cycle 2 (1 AL)

CD: 19

What are you doing to GKU: Temping, CM, CP, need to start EOD sex, bought a CB Easy Digital OPK yesterday

RRCS: Nothing new from yesterday. Still just don't know what to expect from this cycle. Trying to be patient.

UO: Damn, I can never think of one. Well I can, but I've used it on GKU at least once or twice before so that's no fun.

[LadyNymeria]

ironbaby - I agree on the wedding favors. Most of them just get left behind. We did not do favors, although we had a photobooth that the guests got to take home copies of their pictures. People had more fun with that than some random favor.

acorn99 - +1 on hating all the pumpkin things. Sorry about the O fake out, hope you see a real one soon.

wannabmama - Have fun jumping YH!

sleepymonkey - I just bought a CB Easy Digital for that very reason. I had some cheapies from Target but wanted no guesswork this cycle. It was $30 though and oyu can't buy more test sticks separately so I will probably not by another one after this cycle.

pbandj714 - I used to sleep with socks on in the winter, but now I hate it. Except when it's super super cold out and the house heat hasn't quite kept up with by bed time.

cocobellaf - I can't do infinity scarves either. Actually any scarf at all. They look so good on so many other people though.

britta - You hate Halloween?? Can't comprehend! Enjoy coffee with your GF this morning.

achromia - I'm sorry about this cycle. Hugs to you. I hate watching awards shows too. I like to look online the next day to see if anything/anyone I like won, but otherwise they're just not important to me.

bighair12 - Hope the next week goes by quickly for you!

Happy Friday eve!

Cycle/month: 3

CD: 22

What are you doing to GKU: Temping, OPK's, sex

RRCS: We moved last Friday so things have been super hectic. DH is tired and doesn't want to HIO and couldn't finish the other night. We did it last night and then I bled after. What's up with that?

UO: I don't think offices should have casual Friday (meaning jeans are allowed). It freaks me out to see some of my co-workers in mom/dad jeans, especially my boss.

[sleepymonkey]

RE: sleeping with socks on. I will sometimes fall asleep with socks on if my feet are really cold but I always take them off sometime MOTN in my sleep. They will be rolled up in the blankets, or on my pillow, or thrown across the room, etc. but never on my feet when I wake up. Apparently sleeping sleepymonkey does not like wearing socks.

[LadyNymeria]

flojo973 - You would not like my office then. We're technically a business casual office, but we can wear jeans 5 days a week as long as no clients are on site. I love it!

Definitely unpopular with me! I love "casual" Friday. We only work every other Friday and those days we can wear jeans, though you're supposed to still wear a nice top and definitely no flip flops (though some people push it). For some strange reason, I can get ready so much quicker in the morning when I can wear jeans. But I agree with seeing co-workers in mom/dad jeans. My boss wears acid wash jeans that he probably bought in the 80s. And one of my co-workers wears "jeans" that are the material of khakis but made to look like jeans. And they're pleated. He says he doesn't like the way he looks in regular jeans. It can't be worse than that mess.

Cycle/month: 10/10

CD: 10

What are you doing to GKU: OPKs soon

RRCS: I miss my meds. Depression sucks. How depression makes me lose interest in sex sucks the most, bc I love sex with DH and I hate that my body/mind gets in the way. Ironic how going off the meds so I can get pregnant makes it harder to do the things I need to do to get pregnant and the lack of getting pregnant makes the depression worse.

UO: Lame food related one, but I really hate any dessert with fruit in it.

[ironbaby]

daisy818, just all the hugs. Seriously. ALL of them.

[LadyNymeria]

So many hugs for you daisy818.

[achromia]

It seems that one of these is in order. For daisy818 and anyone else who needs one...

Samesies! I wear jeans to work every day and it's amazing.

Maybe I'm buying the wrong jeans (or ill-fitting ones) because I think my work pants are more comfortable than jeans!!

My work pants are really comfortable but more casual pants = more casual shoes which is the part I really like. Plus nicer, plan tshirts are ok as well so those are more comfortable than dressier tops. Not to mention the jeans I have are pretty damn comfortable - boyfriend style from American Eagle.

[cocobellaf]

daisy818, I get it. Hug!

Cycle/Month: 9's
CD: 2

What are you doing to GKU: Nothing ATM.

RRCS: Ummmmmm I don't know. I'm excited to start my new job Monday but I'm not looking forward to the expense of starting it :/ Also, I need to make a note to use Aleve for all my period pains because it worked so so well.

UO: I don't like BFP warnings in the TWW posts. I can understand if it's because you're talking about someone else's BFP outside of GKU, but if it's for yourself getting a maybe line, I think it's unnecessary. I feel like the thread is supposed to be about getting BFPs and people lurk to find them so posting warnings seems...well, unnecessary. I don't like stepping on toes so I'm sure I'll get flamed for this but there you go.

ironbaby - I +1 your UO. I think it's a waste of money. I've seen some really great favor ideas but most of the time I'm just like, "That's cute but why spend the money?" People are invited to come to a party that they're probably being fed at or there may be an open bar, I don't think you need favors as an extra thank you. Although, my ILs went to a wedding recently that was western themed and the wedding favors were bottles of BBQ rub from a local place. I was jealous.

pbandj714 - How can you stand the feel of socks in bed??? *shiver* No, thank you.

daisy818 - Big big hugs

[britta]

LadyNymeria I know, I'm probably broken. Even as a kid I hated it. I was probably 8 or 9 when I started (trying) to refuse trick or treating and dressing up. I remember telling my mom it was "silly". I think she stared at me blankly and then told me I was going to dress as a witch. *shrugs* I had an ex-BF who was obsessed. I remember him being mad because I wasn't "excited enough" for Halloween and it was "his favorite holiday." I was like, "Dude, holiday? Christmas is a holiday." Then I told him it was July, so yeah. Not excited.
