What are you doing to GKU? TI w/ metformin & femara, OPK's BBT, PNVs and Preseed
RRCS: I had my observation with the RE and I have 3 big follicles, my lining is on the thinner side so I have to take estrogen this week.
GTKY: Since it's Monday and I'm in a negative mood, let's think positive! What are you looking forward to this week? I have off on Friday so I am looking forward to a shorter work week. I also have H's holiday party to attend on Thursday, that should be fun.

What are you doing to GKU? BBT, CM, OPK, sex with Pre-Seed
RRCS: I'm so frustrated I didn't ovulate! I got two days of positive OPKs on CD 17-18, then back to negative. I was expecting a temp rise yesterday or today. Instead, my temperature is still low, and now I'm getting more positive OPKs. Ugh. Get it together, body.
GTKY: I'm looking forward to no school! I'm going to a Christmas lighting and caroling event on Friday, that should be fun.

What are you doing to GKU? Temping, CM, CP, OPKs, jumping MH tonight for Sex
RRCS: Had a bit of a non-O related temp spike today. This happened last month too and I ended up having to discard the temp to get a reasonable coverline. No idea what caused it.
GTKY: What are you looking forward to this week? Dinner for my MIL's birthday on Wednesday. Then we'll probably do something for my mom's birthday this weekend.
RRCS: Positive OPK this morning and DH is out of town until Wednesday. We had a huge fight this weekend and didn't HIO so I guess we're out this cycle
GTKY: Since it's Monday and I'm in a negative mood, let's think positive! What are you looking forward to this week? Its the last full work week of the year!
RRCS: I'm a little sad this month- thinking about how if it had happened when we first started trying, we'd be getting ready to welcome a baby around the holidays this year.
GTKY: Since it's Monday and I'm in a negative mood, let's think positive! What are you looking forward to this week? A Christmas cookie making party on Saturday!
What are you doing to GKU? waiting for AF to go away right now
RRCS: Yesterday we went to a Christmas party and there were so many cute kids there. Our friends were there with their two adorable new foster sons (ages 9 months and 2 years) and my 6 years old is obsessed. She asked if we could adopt them, so I had to explain to her why we cannot adopt them. She wants to have a baby in the house so bad and keeps asking when are we going to get a kid and that she doesn't want a 5 year old, she wants a baby (she knows we may foster-to-adopt) and I wanted to cry. That made me want to have a baby even more now because I know my girls, especially my little one, would be awesome big sisters. As selfish as it sounds, I want to be the one to give them a sibling. I want to go through pregnancy with them and I want them to be excited to meet their new brother or sister after watching my belly grow and roll around. I don't think I'm going to be able to get pregnant, so we probably will end up fostering and I will be thrilled. But I realize now that I am sadder than I thought I would be about likely not having another baby. I keep wondering how much longer we should keep trying. I know I'm only on cycle 5, but I'm going to be 40 in a few months, and I'm not feeling optimistic at all. I wish I'd realized that I actually wanted to have another biological child a few years ago and am now kicking myself, but I really felt like I was all set with my two. I was even supposed to have tubal ligation during my c-section and the OB forgot to do it.
GTKY: Since it's Monday and I'm in a negative mood, let's think positive! What are you looking forward to this week? Um... Friday? We had such a busy weekend that I'm exhausted and don't want to be at work.

CD: 12
What are you doing to GKU? Temping, PNV, OPK, CM, Sex
RRCS: Nothing today!
GTKY: Since it's Monday and I'm in a negative mood, let's think positive! What are you looking forward to this week? We're flying down to Florida on Friday to spend a long weekend there (returning very late on Monday) to visit family and friends!
Edit, b/c I just remembered something to add to RRCS. So, our flight leaves on Friday at 5:30am which means I'll be up much earlier than when I normally temp. And that is stressing me out because based on my last cycle, that could be insanely close to when I ovulate. Should I still take my temperature when I wake up, even though it may be like 2 hours before I normally would temp?!
@ pinkcat hugs to you too. I wasn't even thinking that, but now I am. Making humans is so fricken hard. I am a bit discouraged too but the thought of a new year makes it feel like a fresh, rejuvenated start. I hope 2016 will be a good year for all of us.
RRCS: temps are still very low per usual. Nothing really going on there. Decided to skip opk's this month and just HIO over the month. Really looking forward to 2015 to be over already.
GTKY: Since it's Monday and I'm in a negative mood, let's think positive! What are you looking forward to this week? I have my husband's work xmas dinner tomorrow so I'm looking forward to that. I am baking up some cookies as little gifts for his coworkers tonight.
Cycle/Month: 6/7 CD: 12 What are you doing to GKU? Temping, pnv, need to start OPKs today. Probably should have some sex too. I was so tired this weekend from co-hosting a party at my friend's house.
RRCS: I am over this week already. They are working on the tile floors and they should be done by Thursday but I may lose it before then. I was so busy last week and this weekend that I lost track I am already on CD12. I only have one CBD OPK left so I am debating buying more. I think the wondfos work fine for me, but I did like getting that smiley face last month.
GTKY: Since it's Monday and I'm in a negative mood, let's think positive! What are you looking forward to this week? Getting tile floors completed, going to a birthday dinner for MIL and FIL tonight, seeing my family this weekend.
LadyNymeria, my mom and MIL have birthday right next to each other as well. May 8th and May 13th- with the added bonus of Mother's Day in there as well.
Cycle/Month: 9/8
CD: 3
What are you doing to GKU? Nothing right now.
RRCS: One of my closest friends had her baby 12/11. CD 1 was 12/12. It hurts. A lot. We started TTC the month she announced her pregnancy, so it has been a rough weekend.
GTKY: Since it's Monday and I'm in a negative mood, let's think positive! What are you looking forward to this week? Um, Friday? Nothing fun this week, just trying to make it to next week!

I feel like everyone needs a hug today.
ladytiffany24, I'd probably just skip that morning. Or you can take it and if it messes up your chart, discard it later.
Cycle/Month: 1
CD: 8
What are you doing to GKU? Bbt, cm, EOD sex
RRCS: rocking out a little cold as of yesterday. Does anyone have insight as to how being sick affects temps/cm?
GTKY: Since it's Monday and I'm in a negative mood, let's think positive! What are you looking forward to this week? Christmas party on Friday and my parents are babysitting :-)
hurricanerek - If you had a fever at all your temp could be a bit higher. If you breathed through your mouth sleeping (due to stuffy nose), I find that makes my temp a bit lower. But I would think you should still be able to see the overall pattern ok. I wouldn't worry about it too much for now.
ladytiffany24 - Definitely still temp when you wake up. If you ovulated, it's possible your temp will still show a big enough shift despite being two hours earlier in the morning. Have a great time in Florida!
flojo973, I'm sorry, that sucks pinkcat and lgraceh, huge hugs to you both. jwinct, big hugs. It is not selfish at all to feel that way. I'm so sorry you're having to sort through these difficult emotions.
GTKY: Since it's Monday and I'm in a negative mood, let's think positive! What are you looking forward to this week? we have our employee appreciation party on Friday and get our yearly bonus.

kayladawn91, king beds are the BEST! You will never look back.
Cycle/Month: 2nd PP cycle
CD: 5 What are you doing to GKU? AF is just about gone so as of today I'm back to temping, in a few more days I'll start checking CM too.
RRCS: today is absolutely insane at work. I was constantly bored at my old job but really, I wouldn't mind just one day here where it feels like I have even 5 minutes of downtime.
GTKY: Since it's Monday and I'm in a negative mood, let's think positive! What are you looking forward to this week? Not much, actually. We're going down to NJ to see my family this weekend, and I do miss them and am excited for that, but mostly all I can think about is how much better for my sanity it would be if we could just stay home and relax rather than spending 10+ hours in a car with an 11-month old.
GTKY: Since it's Monday and I'm in a negative mood, let's think positive! What are you looking forward to this week? Friday will be fun...The kids put on the Christmas play and then we have a school-wide feast. Then Friday night is work Christmas party and Saturday night is family Christmas party.
ladytiffany24 I would still temp but mark on your chart that it was earlier. I prefer open circles to no circles!
lgraceh My BFF's baby who I love an incredible amount still gives me the sads sometimes. She got pregnant with her the same month we started TTC, she's a year and a half old now
RRCS: So I got a positive OPK a few days ago (it was also my last OPK!) So I thought I would O soon. I know Letrozole makes my beginning of the month temps wacky...but I got a temp drop on CD 13 and I thought I might O the next day but nope. Got another temp drop yesterday which was the day after the positive OPK so I thought perhaps a spike today but just another normal range temp. Any thoughts regarding my chart are appreciated!
RRCS: pregnancy announcements made for a tough weekend. We had a great weekend otherwise so I'm trying to not let myself be too sad. It's really hard though. Luckily my H is always the optimist and keeps telling me it'll be our turn soon enough. Doesn't feel like it though as we enter month 8.
GTKY: Since it's Monday and I'm in a negative mood, let's think positive! What are you looking forward to this week?

Cycle/Month: 13/3AL
CD: CD 18
What are you doing to GKU? Sex...finally. H is on the mend.
RRCS: My cycles seem to be averaging longer since my loss. Also I've been experiencing cramping and pressure all throughout the entire cycle. Thoughts? I plan on talking to OB about this on Friday.
GTKY: A couple things actually. I meet with my OB on Friday. We're going to possibly be having the "next steps" talk. Friday is also Christmas round one. My dad's side of the family. Then Sunday is Christmas round two. My husband's mom's side of the family. Phew.
