What are you doing to GKU? still waiting for the MC bleeding to stop (hmpf)
RRCS: I'm actually out of rants. Yes I'm still annoyed at my body for everything that went on this week, but I'm coing to terms with it
GTKY: What are you up to this weekend? And, for those celebrating Christmas next week, is all your shopping done?? Shit is Christmas NEXT WEEK?! I have zero presents sorted. None. Nothing. Buggar! We're going to Greece this weekend to visit DHs family. Staying for a week!
What are you doing to GKU? ED, BBT, OPK, CM, Preseed
RRCS: Just waiting for one more temp tomorrow to get my CH's. Timing was great so of course I'm already on the crazy train
GTKY: What are you up to this weekend? And, for those celebrating Christmas next week, is all your shopping done?? Work party tonight, family party Saturday, lots of gift wrapping in between!
RRCS: It's supposed to snow here today! Finally! It's not *really* Christmas, but...
GTKY: My family's Christmas party is this weekend. My parents are coming this afternoon and my sisters and their families/SO will be here tomorrow morning. So I'm excited we'll have snow for at least a *form* of Christmas. Re: Shopping: LOL. No. I actually have to go out yet this morning and get sister 2's and BIL's present.
RRCS: The first available appt for the RE I picked is late Feb. That would bring us to our 12th month. Please let me get pregnant first, please!
GTKY: What are you up to this weekend? And, for those celebrating Christmas next week, is all your shopping done?? This weekend is one dinner with family and one day of baking. We don't usually do big presents for xmas so I've made couples gifts to give out. The gift is a book with photographs of humanity (love, laughter, friendship etc of people around the world) then a deck of cards and a jar with hommade pancake mix. I added a little poem to tie it together which says basically loser has to cook up breakfast the next morning. I have all the supplies, I just have to put them all together and wrap them.
Good morning ladies! Happy Friday! Cycle/Month: 6/7 CD: 16 What are you doing to GKU? Bbt, pnv, OPK, CM, sex
RRCS: got a smiley face on CBD this morning! I was expecting it today so it's nice when things line up. We are going to my parents' house today but we will find time to HIO at some point.
GTKY: What are you up to this weekend? And, for those celebrating Christmas next week, is all your shopping done?? This weekend we will be celebrating Christmas with my Dad's extended family and with my immediate family (parents and siblings). Should be fun and a nice break from our house which is still a disaster area from the tile floor work. And as of yesterday, all of my shopping is done!
RRCS: temps are still low. Maybe I didn't O. I'll continue HIO. Dh won't mind.
GTKY: What are you up to this weekend? And, for those celebrating Christmas next week, is all your shopping done?? Tonight we are having a child - free Christmas party with friends which will hopefully be relaxing. Tomorrow we are celebrating Hannukah with my dad's family. We are celebrating late so the cousins in college will have finished their finals.
Christmas presents are wrapped and under the tree. I have a few more stocking stuffers coming today. One of Hannukah gifts arrived broken so I'm hoping walmart gets a replacement in today or tomorrow morning. Nothing like last minute gift stress.
What are you doing to GKU? PNV, BBT, OPK, EOD, fertility massage
RRCS: Just hoping my OPKs start getting darker today. Hoping for O tomorrow, but it could be Monday (if I am having a normal cycle).
GTKY: What are you up to this weekend? And, for those celebrating Christmas next week, is all your shopping done?? We did a mad dash of shopping last night and I am mostly done. I have a few small things to pick up, and nothing is wrapped yet. We may be out of town for Christmas, so we are doing Christmas with H's family Sunday night.

What are you doing to GKU? Should probably get it together and do something...
RRCS: I think I'll stark OPKs this afternoon or maybe tomorrow. I've O'd pretty early the last 2 cycles and I think that I am missing catching it on the tests since I don't usually start them until CD10.
GTKY: What are you up to this weekend? And, for those celebrating Christmas next week, is all your shopping done?? I am finishing baking cookies tomorrow and the ILs are coming over Sunday for brunch to celebrate Christmas early since we will be with my parents and they will be in MT.
ETA: Shopping is done and all gifts have been wrapped for 1 week!
What are you doing to GKU? Temping, EOD sex (give or take), checking CP and CM
RRCS: Well, color me even more confused. After getting only a minimal amount of watery CM yesterday morning, I got a flood of EWCM in the evening. I made sure we HIO last night. And now I'm thinking I may have O'ed yesterday, not on CD11. My temp jumped over half a degree from yesterday's dip, and is higher than most of my temps thus far this cycle. Obviously I'll have to wait a few days to see what my temps do.
GTKY: What are you up to this weekend? And, for those celebrating Christmas next week, is all your shopping done? Since I'm on call for Christmas, we're doing Christmas with my family this weekend. It's going to be a bit nuts. Trying to hit four houses (mom, aunt, grandparents, then dad) all in one afternoon/evening. It's going to be crazy. I'm kinda excited though to see their reactions to my red hair- they have no idea I dyed it, lol.
And yep, all our shopping is done, for humans anyway. We still need to find some stocking stuffers for our pets. Yep, they are super spoiled.

What are you doing to GKU? Temping, CM, CP, OPKs, Sex
RRCS: Really surprised and annoyed I didn't get a + OPK this morning. Based on everything else I would have put money on it being positive. Wondfo is a super dark negative (dark enough I'd almost consider it positive for me since I never get a true positive) but the digital was still negative too. Usually I only use the digital with FMU (per the instructions), but I brought it to work with me to see if I could hold it long enough to try again late morning.
GTKY: What are you up to this weekend? And, for those celebrating Christmas next week, is all your shopping done?? Relaxing and watching football. The only present I'm actually buying this year is a Patriots jersey for my dad, and I still need to get it. And all the stocking stuffers for MH.

Gah! That's frustrating. I hope the digital turns soon.
Also, yay football! Did you watch the game last night? DH and I did, and kept calling each team "Ketchup" and "Mustard". It was hysterical.

I had a work party last night but they had the game on at the bar we ended up at. The colors were awful!!! They've been doing those color block uniforms for the Thursday night games and they look horrible. Especially when they take teams like the Rams or the Jaguars (last week) and put them in yellow when their real color is gold!
People were pissed when the Jets played the Bills because the uniforms were red and green and I guess there was a large number of color blind people who couldn't tell the difference between the teams.

Yes! That red vs green game was quite the clusterfuck. One of MH's coworkers is red-green color blind. He complained the next day about not being able to tell them apart.
Some weeks the colors look good, for the most part they have sucked.

On my way to la for a wedding...but TSA ineptitude made me miss my flight...got re-routed and I will get there...four hours late. Most of my gifts are "experience" things so are done.

Also tomorrow my mom is going to babysit so DH and I can go see Star Wars. I haven't seen him this excited about anything in a while!

This happened to me a few times with CBD vs wondfo OPK. I basically have to deprive myself of water for a day or two to get a + on CBD. Maybe you can catch it later or maybe you will get a + tomorrow.

What are you doing to GKU? Sex.
RRCS: I had my appointment with my OB today. Turns out my last blood draw they only ran it for progesterone. So we did a blood draw for my thyroid. The nurse said they'd have those results on Monday. We talked about clomid for a while. The benefits, the risks, the chance for multiples. She told me to discuss it with my husband and let her know what we wanted to do. The risk of multiples isn't very high. 1 in 10. However it would be risky for me as I had blood pressure issues and preeclampsia with DS. So that's where we're at right now.
GTKY: What are you up to this weekend? And, for those celebrating Christmas next week, is all your shopping done?? I have a couple more gifts I need to purchase but we're 90% done. This weekend we have two rounds of Christmas. Tonight being one.
singingsea, did your OB go over the monitoring that needs to be done? Have they done the necessary pre-treatment testing like a semen analysis or HSG?
I would highly recommend going to a RE for any fertility treatment. They have so much more training on the risks, benefits, and the best options available. You can only have so many cycles on clomid during your lifetime, so it would be a shame to waste any without the proper testing or monitoring.

These are all questions I'm going to ask her if we decide this is the route we want to go. I don't know if she's omitting a lot of the pretreatment tests because I was pregnant in September? Regardless I'm not doing anything until I have all my questions answered.

I was just about to quote myself to update. I got a positive on my digital at work a few hours ago and my Wondfo was lighter so I'm considering the FMU Wondfo positive. So YAY positive OPK!! Expecting tomorrow to be O now.
What are you doing to GKU? BBT, cm, opks. Not doing very well dtd, we need to be better about that.
RRCS: nothing new, still my crummy sawtooth chart. No temp spikes, and broken sleep for the last few nights.

This weekend my parents are coming to pick up my brother from my house, where he's been staying since getting back last Friday. All of my christmas shopping is done, and wrapped! Thank goodness for DH working from home. When he gets bored he has been wrapping, and I just had to finish up the last few today

What are you doing to GKU? waiting out AF...
RRCS: Today I had my ultrasound and blood work done with the RE. Low and behold, she found a cyst the size of a golf ball on my right ovary (I wondered where all that pain was coming from), 3 smaller cysts on my left, free fluid around the ovary as well as endometriosis, and to top it off, scar tissue/ adhesions all over. So I'm looking at surgery next month. UGH! On one hand, I'm quite heartbroken by this. I really wasn't expecting it. On the other hand, she said I have 8 follicles/eggs on CD2, and the inside of my uterus looks fine. So she's really hoping that after surgery, I'll have the green light and should conceive. Right now however, my anatomy is all screwed up and bent to the left.
GTKY: What are you up to this weekend? And, for those celebrating Christmas next week, is all your shopping done?? I work all weekend. boo.
