Cycle/Month: 4
CD/DPO: 22/3
Timing: -3,-2,-1,O
Testing plans: I'll probably start in a week at 10DPO because I have no self-control
RRCS: I realized yesterday that I only have at most 9 more cycles to GKU before my self-imposed deadline to give up and accept being OAD. No pressure or anything.
GTKY: What's the best advice someone gave you (about anything) or advice someone said growing up that stuck with you. I honestly can't think of any right now. Most advice I ever got was practical and pretty basic. ETA: My great aunt always used to say "Don't count on someone else to make you happy. Make yourself happy."
Testing plans: sticking to my guns for Saturday but I feel the crazy coming on. I will not waste more pee sticks, I will not waste more pee sticks. ...
RRCS: I'm feeling ok today. Except for having to go back to work a nice long weekend away.
GTKY: What's the best advice someone gave you (about anything) or advice someone said growing up that stuck with you. My mom gave me lots of great advice but I didn't really understand them truly until I was living on my own. The one thing was never be afraid to make a change...things will always fall in place.

Godd morning!
Cycle/Month: 12
CD/DPO: 27/5
Timing: good
Testing plans: none
RRCS: I have training all week. I'm not used to getting up at 6am now, so I tossed and turned all night thinking my alarm wouldn't go off.
GTKY: don't sweat the small things, and don't pet the sweaty things;) lol But really, mine is simple. Always love yourself. You have to be the most important person to you.

All I can think of is career advice that I never forget: 1. Take the job that no one wants, it has the greatest opportunity 2. Dress for the job you want
RRCS:Well, i'm still here. No BFP and no period in sight. So.... If the cramping could stop that would be great.
GTKY: What's the best advice someone gave you (about anything) or advice someone said growing up that stuck with you. Drawing a blank. I'll return to answer this.

RRCS: I know you can have too short of a LP, can you have too long of one?
GTKY: What's the best advice someone gave you (about anything) or advice someone said growing up that stuck with you? My grandma always sause "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me".. I still remember her saying that every time we struggled growing up.

Yes, they can happen. I'm sitting in the same boat as you right now. Ugh.

@wallflwr926, mrss44 - Ugh sorry for the suckiness going on now with your bodies.
Cycle/Month: 4/4
CD/DPO: 24/11
Timing: Probably not good enough
Testing plans: Not necessary. I can feel my period coming in a day or so.
RRCS: This is the first cycle where getting my period (hasn't happened yet, but it's coming) has hit me hard. I'm pretty sure there are no issues with my H or me so we just both thought this would be the month.
But on a positive note, not getting KU'd this cycle means I get to attend my friend's May wedding next year! It's on the other side of the country so I wouldn't have been able to do it with a June due date.
GTKY: What's the best advice someone gave you (about anything) or advice someone said growing up that stuck with you. Hmm. This is not actual advice, but my grandmother was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes when she was 9. This was the 1930's so clearly medical care wasn't what it is now. But despite having this condition affecting so much of her life (including 7 miscarriages), she was the most positive, wonderful person I've ever known. She has since passed away from diabetes complications, but her positiveness has really stuck with me in all situations, and having her in my life has made it difficult to give up when I wanted to (in various situations).

@wallflwr926 and mrss44 I'm sorry you are having a crazy cycle...I hate not knowing what the hell is going on. I hope you get answers one way or another soon. I just wanted to say I feel your pain with annoying cycles that seem will never end.
Testing plans: maybe Saturday before my first acupuncture appointment. want to make sure I'm not actually KU going into a fertility treatment
RRCS: major ute cramping yesterday and today. behold, it's the crazy woman who's been doing this for 16 cycles who STILL symptom-spots.
GTKY: What's the best advice someone gave you (about anything) or advice someone said growing up that stuck with you. not advice per se, but my grandmother always had an amazing sense of humor and taught me how to approach everything with a good attitude and that humor can be found in every situation.

Cycle/Month: 15/13
CD/DPO: 25/13
Timing: -1
Testing plans: This morning again, BFN. So.....I don't know. FF recommended to test today, OR CD1 today, so I guess I'll give it another day or 2 and then test again. I used my last wondfo this morning so all I have left are FRERs. ::shrug:: RRCS: I'm kind of feeling the frustration now. We've now had a good amount of cycles with good timing and it's all been a bust still. I'm due for my annual next month so if I end up not KU this cycle I'm going to have to schedule that and I guess we'll talk about what's going on then. GTKY: What's the best advice someone gave you (about anything) or advice someone said growing up that stuck with you. The best way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time.
mrss44, @wallflwr926, sorry for the long LP confusion.
Cycle/Month: 5/6
CD/DPO: 29/14
Timing: -2, O
Testing plans: No More
RRCS: Just waiting it out. Spotting stopped today (ETA nope it's back) but I suspect AF will be here tomorrow or the next day. My average LP is 16 days.
GTKY: What you resist, persists. A yoga teacher said that once but I think it applies to way more than just flexibility. I think about it as in, the things that you avoid doing or thinking about stick around for much longer than if you had just faced them head on. It's tough for me but it's helped me move forward on things that challenge me.
