Good morning ladies! It was a slow start today for me since i took today off work. Hope everyones mornings are going well
Cycle/Month: 5/7
Cycle Day: 10
What are you doing to GKU? Temping and sex. I'm starting weight watchers again to try and get back to my wedding weight. I lost 30 lbs on it before so I hope to do it again. It takes alot of mental energy so I think it will keep my mind busy this cycle. Maybe this part is a rave?
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Nothing. This part of my cycle is so boring.
GTKY: What is your worst habit? I have been biting my nails since I was a kid. It's so bad...and I can't stop. It drives my husband crazy lol.

Cycle/Month: Cycle 3 (2 AL)
Cycle Day: 11
What are you doing to GKU? Temping, CM, CP, OPKs, Sex
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Getting anxious to see if I end up O-ing this week or not.
GTKY: What is your worst habit? Also a life-long nail biter. I've learned that if I have colored nail polish on I won't bite my nails so I've been trying to keep them painted at all times. My nails are the longest they've ever been so it's working.
GTKY: What is your worst habit? I pick at my nails. I don't bite them but they never look pretty. I think part of it is a nervous/stressed habit. LadyNymeria I find as well if my nails are painted it is better.

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I think I O'd on CD 14. OPK was darker on CD 12, then a definite positive on CD 13. My temps have been a little rocky though, so hoping for a high temp tomorrow to confirm. This would be a little early from me to AO, but would mean good timing. So I'm hoping it's right!
GTKY: What is your worst habit? So many nail biters. I did for a long time. Then I wore acrylics from 8th grade to 24-ish? I don't bite them anymore, but the "fixation" is still there. I peel my gel manis and feel my nails with my teeth. So my hands are still in my mouth frequently, which grosses me out.

Cycle/Month: 5/5
Cycle Day: 2
What are you doing to GKU? just BBT and PNV right now.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Nada. Not happy to be back over here.
GTKY: What is your worst habit? I'm another cuticle picker. I also twirl my curls around my fingers without realizing it. My mom tells me it's annoying.
What are you doing to GKU? BBT, pom juice, OPKs and preseed start next week
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Nada
GTKY: What is your worst habit? I pick at pimples when I get them. I know it's bad for your skin but I can't help it - it always seems to make them go away faster for me. I haven't had an issue with scarring so that may be why I'm not motivated stop.

I'm being so damn impatient today. I keep looking at my chart like it's going to miraculously change from one hour to the next.
*Looks at chart* EWCM...is O coming, or is my body screwing with me? *Looks at chart again* Not sure, better have sex just in case O is actually coming. But if it's not, hopefully we can keep up a good sex pattern.

Cycle/Month: 16/13
Cycle Day: 14
What are you doing to GKU? I think I O'd yesterday, just waiting on temps to confirm, so, sex + all the acronyms.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I'm feeling shitty now and I already bitched in the randoms thread bit I will here too. I'm feeling these 16 cycles now and it sucks. So many pregnancy announcements lately + I just made my annual gyn appointment for next week. It was last year at my annual in September that I was all excited about starting to TFAS and my midwife was like, ok! Hope next time we see you is for an OB appt! So...great.
GTKY: What is your worst habit? I'm a picker. Nails, scabs, etc. I hate it but love it at the same time. ::shrug::

((Hugs)) I totally agree that pregnancy announcements are everywhere this week!! Must be the fall/Halloween season that has everyone into sharing.

Blech thanks guys. I'm glad I was able to get in with a gyn so quickly - they had an opening next week, so at least I can get her opinion. I mean, I know she's just a gyn but our insurance covers exactly 0% of fertility testing/treatments soooooo yea.
What are you doing to GKU? Think I O'd yesterday so just hanging out here until FF confirms. But going to have sex still just in case.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: If I don't get pregnant this cycle, my parents will be here visiting for basically my entire FW next month. That would be really annoying.
GTKY: What is your worst habit? Definitely mindless snacking when I'm not even hungry. So bad. I used to bite my nails until one day I said it was gross and I wasn't going to do it anymore. Wish more things were that easy for me to quit cold turkey!
Cycle/Month: 13 (3AL - I reported this wrong yesterday.)
Cycle Day: 7
What are you doing to GKU? TTA until my next cycle, but trying to be vigilant about temping and tracking this month so that I can be on my game next month. Rereading the applicable parts of taking charge of your fertility.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: For now, I'm glad to be done with AF.
GTKY: What is your worst habit? Total cuticle biter/picker. Gross, I know. Having a manicure usually helps deter me...

Ugh. I am sorry for the insurance hassle. I hope she'll have some good insight for ya!

Hugs thechickencoop. I feel you on the announcements. My Facebook feed is full of either new borns, babies or announcements. Sorry about the crappy insurance. I hope your appt goes well.
What are you doing to GKU? BBT, cm, ed dtd. Expecting to O this week
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: based on cm, O should be here soon. Fingers crossed by body isn't messing with me this cycle.
GTKY: What is your worst habit? Probably picking at my skin. I scratch/pick without even realizing it most of the time. I've left some scars, but lukily most of them have healed.

Cycle/Month: 2AL, but this marks month 12 since we started this journey...all the feels!
Cycle Day: 5
What are you doing to GKU? Nothing at the moment. Hoping today is the last day of my period.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I'm trying to decide whether it would be helpful or detrimental to my mental health to continue with temping this month. Each cycle I have data for has been O on CD19 with a 9 day LP, so part of me just wants to HIO from CD15-20 and pray for the best. Not temping for awhile might take my mind off TTC, but if I don't temp, and don't get pregnant this cycle, I know I'll wonder about my cycle and won't have the data to answer my questions.
GTKY: What is your worst habit? Ugh, there are so many. Right now the one I'm focusing on is my terrible coffee habit. At one point I was drinking up to six cups a day...NOT good for my health! I've been supplementing green tea and decaf coffee, trying to wean myself off the caffeine.
I'm being so damn impatient today. I keep looking at my chart like it's going to miraculously change from one hour to the next.
*Looks at chart* EWCM...is O coming, or is my body screwing with me? *Looks at chart again* Not sure, better have sex just in case O is actually coming. But if it's not, hopefully we can keep up a good sex pattern.
Ugh, stupid WTO.
Ugh, I hate that you are in that place right now. This is how I was during my last cycle while WTO. Hang in there lady! Try to keep your mind off that chart as much as possible, if you can!
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I have an appointment tomorrow to recheck my hormone levels to see if I need to increase my metformin dosage again. The last time I saw my dr was in August and she made a comment about how she had a feeling I would be changing this appointment to a pregnancy check up....nope. And I'm officially past the 12 month mark so I'm not feeling super excited
GTKY: What is your worst habit? Does cursing count? I also pick at pimples when I get them
