Cycle/Month: 8/9 AL
CD: 1
What are you doing to GKU? Well it's CD 1 so not doing much but crying.
RRCS: Ugh.
GTKY: I was planning on taking them down today but we'll see how I feel later. I usually have them down before the new year though so they'll be taken down sometime this week for sure.
What are you doing to GKU? BBT, CM, MVs, just waiting for FW
RRCS: I'm tired and the longer I've been up the worse my mood gets. I need an attitude adjustment. Or maybe just a nap.
GTKY: In the past I was all about leaving them up till my birthday (1/8). This year I'm all about getting everything taken down ASAP. Christmas never really felt like Christmas this year so I'm all "Meh. Put it away."
kayladawn91, big hugs, I'm sorry you're back here britta you have the same bday as my DS!
Cycle/Month: 2nd PP cycle
CD: 18
What are you doing to GKU? BBT, CM, EOD (although it's actually been ED for the past 3 haha)
RRCS: well, temp was back down this morning so it seems that spike I had yesterday was in fact just from drinking the night before. I still have fertile CM going on though so I am still hopeful that my body will get its act together and actually O this cycle.
GTKY: How long do you leave your holiday decorations up? At least through New Years and usually until about a week after, but this year New Years Day will be a hard stop because LO's 1st birthday party is Jan. 2nd so I will need to get the decorations for that up!
What are you doing to GKU? Waiting for AF to leave
RRCS: I have cramps and I'm grumpy today. I wish I could just stay in bed all day.
GTKY: How long do you leave your holiday decorations up? We used to leave them up until the weekend after New Year's Day but now that DD's birthday is on NYE, I like to take them down a little earlier so there is a definite separation between Christmas and her birthday. Mine will probably come down on Tuesday this year. I will be off work and DD will be at daycare so I can get it done quickly.
What are you doing to GKU?: The usual, though less frenzied lately.
RRCS: My temps have been oddly low (even for me). I usually O around now, but I wouldn't be surprised if the holiday stress pushed me back a bit.
GTKY: How long do you leave your holiday decorations up? I think we'll take them down sometime this week. It's mostly laziness keeping them up at this point.

Cycle/Month: 5/8
CD: 3
What are you doing to GKU? Clomid hopefully tomorrow after ultrasound
RRCS: I don't temp during my period and I'm on vacation this week so I think I'm going to take a break from temping this month. I am so closely monitored for Clomid, trigger, and progesterone there really is no need to chart because science. I think mentally I need a break.
GTKY: How long do you leave your holiday decorations up? We'll probably un-decorate next weekend. Our trash day is Monday so the tree needs to be on the curb by tomorrow or next Monday and it won't happen today.

Cycle/Month: 16
CD: 10
What are you doing to GKU? Hoping to get in some sex
RRCS: feel like crap so temps are crazy and it's hard to get in the mood!
GTKY: How long do you leave your holiday decorations up? I think we'll take down the tree today or tomorrow bc it's dropping a lot of needles...but we might leave the outside lights up until after New Years. It just looks so cheery!
TTC since July 2014. CP March 2015. IVF #1 March 2016, 5R, 3M, 2F with ICSI. Transferred 2 on day 3. CP. Surprise BFP and then CP August 2016 (prep cycle for IVF).

What are you doing to GKU? Waiting for AF to leave. Will start temping tomorrow.
RRCS: Just can't believe we're on cycle 8 now.
GTKY: How long do you leave your holiday decorations up? I usually like to take them down asap and get my house back to normal. It really just depends on when I have the time to do it.
What are you doing to GKU? Temping, sex, checking CP and CM
RRCS: I'm approaching the zen stage of this cycle. I've already given up any hope for this cycle, so I've started planning for the next one. After y'all's advice the other day about OPKs, I started researching them yesterday. I can't decide if I want to try Wondfos first, or do the Clear Blue digitals for ease of use. Any thoughts? The less I have to pee on sticks, the better due to my schedule.
Oh, and I'm still having PMS symptoms like whoa but no definitive temp shift. Plus now I'm getting CM out the wazoo (it's a veritable slip'n'slide in there). The past day it's been watery, so maybe I'm gearing up again and will actually O this time? Who the hell knows.
GTKY: How long do you leave your holiday decorations up? Until my husband gets around to taking them down. I love holiday lights, so I would leave them up forever if I could.

Hugs kayladawn91 RajahMD I'm sorry your temps are still not giving you a clear picture. For opk's I use wondo's and when I get an almost positive, I confirm it with a clear blue digital. This saves me money and also helps me confirm a positive cheapie with a smiley face for peace of mind.
RRCS: still negative opk's, temp back down to the usual flat lining levels. I really want to O this week.
GTKY: How long do you leave your holiday decorations up? Until NYE. I like to start the year off fresh and for me that means getting rid of all things December.
Cycle/Month: 7/12 CD: 7 What are you doing to GKU? Last day of clomid! RRCS: Still at inlaws for another 2 weeks while we finish redoing our bathroom at our new house. Really missing my own space!! GTKY: How long do you leave your holiday decorations up? We usually leave them up until the weekend after Christmas.

Whatever you do, RajahMD, don't get the CB advanced digital OPKs. The blinking smiley will drive you crazy. I'm a huge fan of the CB regular digital OPKs and they were recommended by my RE. I've never turned a wondfo positive, but I also echo the ladies who confirm with a digital rather than exclusively using digitals.

Thanks! That would definitely make them last longer too. Compared to Wondfos, they are certainly pricey.

Haven't read the thread so sorry if this is repetitive. The CB digital tells you to use FMU so that could be easier to do around your schedule. The box I bought comes with the tester handle and 20 strips, and I've never used all 20 strips in one cycle so I get more than one cycle out of a box. I never get a true positive on Wondfo either so I really like the smile or no smile.
