What are you doing to GKU? Clomid hopefully tomorrow
RRCS: Just waiting for my baseline ultrasound to start Clomid tomorrow
GTKY: What does the upcoming week look like for you? Are you taking it easy between Christmas and New Years or already back to your daily grind? Since I'm a teacher I'm on vacation this week. I am going to keep busy with house stuff and fun stuff to try to keep my mind off GKU.
RRCS: Started using the fancy Clear Blue Digital OPKs this weekend. I'm also using my cheapies because I don't yet trust the fancy digital. Just waiting for the smiley face so I can go in for round one of IF testing.
GTKY: What does the upcoming week look like for you? Are you taking it easy between Christmas and New Years or already back to your daily grind? I'm back to the grind...
RRCS: still waiting. Opk's are still pretty negative.
GTKY: What does the upcoming week look like for you? Are you taking it easy between Christmas and New Years or already back to your daily grind? I'm off today and tomorrow, then I got back for Wed and Thurs and off again Fri. Feels so good to have a break. Today is full of cleaning from the holidays.
What are you doing to GKU? BBT, CM, MVs, waiting for FW
RRCS: So many open circle and missing temps thus far. O is still pretty far away so I'm confident I can get it together and still detect
GTKY: DH and I both work in the medical field and Christmas was his holiday to work, so last week was pretty much a normal week for us with some gift opening Saturday morning. This week will be the same.
What are you doing to GKU? BBT, CM, PNV, EOD (although we did ED the last four!)
RRCS: I've been waking up with my fingers crossed for a temp spike for days, but still nothing. I still have fertile CM going on but H will be working late tonight so looks like we'll have to break our streak. I just really want to be able to confirm O. I know there's a chance I won't be able to since it's still an early PP cycle but I'm trying to be optimistic!
GTKY: What does the upcoming week look like for you? Are you taking it easy between Christmas and New Years or already back to your daily grind? Back to work today but it's going to be a good week! Today will be sweet because I'll be spending 90% of it traveling around to client meetings, which are fun and also good billing. Tomorrow and Wednesday I'll be in the office but Thursday I'm working from home and Friday I'm off, plus my sister is coming to visit from Wednesday through Sunday and my parents will be here Friday through Monday! So excited to see them all!

What are you doing to GKU? Just PNV right now
RRCS: I usually O closer to cd 21, so just waiting
GTKY: What does the upcoming week look like for you? Are you taking it easy between Christmas and New Years or already back to your daily grind? I have to work today and tomorrow then I am off until 1/4! It was so hard to come back to work today but traffic was amazing!
RRCS: Just waiting for AF to leave... Also waiting on my BBT thermometer to arrive this week.
GTKY: What does the upcoming week look like for you? Are you taking it easy between Christmas and New Years or already back to your daily grind? I'll be working today through Wednesday, but I am the only one in my department this week so it will be quiet and productive hopefully..
What are you doing to GKU? CM, Metformin, PNV, BBT, Sex
RRCS: I had a lovely weekend away - but forgot my BBT at home. Doh. Super great timing considering I think I O'd around CD 14, but don't have the temps to confirm...so I will just be hanging out here for a while. Of course this happens the month I don't turn an OPK positive, so maybe I haven't even O'd yet... I'm going to pretend to keep cool about it until I get a few more days of temps into FF.
GTKY: What does the upcoming week look like for you? Are you taking it easy between Christmas and New Years or already back to your daily grind? I'm at work today, but am leaving shortly because we have a winter storm warning going into effect at noon. I don't have anything scheduled for the rest of the week - but considering my billables are low for this month, I plan to knock some projects out from home. We'll see if that works. OR, I'll just TCF all week.

R/R/CS: Major temp dip this morning. Yesterday I had some cramping and a huge increase in amount of CM. So, today could be O day. Of course, I forgot to grab an OPK on my way out the door this morning. Last night's OPK was invalid (control line never showed up), so I'm flying a bit blind until tonight when I can take an OPK.
Not super worried about it, we're covered for timing.
GTKY: I'm sort of halfway in between. I'm back to the grind today, but tomorrow I'm working from home and taking a long lunch because the dogs have vet appointments (early morning drop-off, midday pickup). Then I'm back to work Wednesday but on vacation Thursday and Friday.

What are you doing to GKU? Bleeding
RRCS: Nothing really. Still just bummed last cycle didn't work out.
GTKY: H and I are both off work. He goes back January 2 and I go back January 4. This week we're taking our decorations down and just relaxing. The last two days were Harry Potter marathon days. I'd like to have a Star Wars marathon one day and then go see the new one.
What are you doing to GKU? BBT, PNV, OPKs, green tea, sex
RRCS: today was the first day that I took my temp and used an OPK since Wed. My temp is still in my normal pre O range and the opk was negative so I'm confident I still go here.

What are you doing to GKU: Sex, temping, more stuffs later
RRCS: I have one of those annoying headaches that aren't awful but medicine isn't helping. I'm going to be spending my lunch frantically trying to find white elephant gifts for the party tonight and I'm not in the mood to shop so that's awesome. I'm also pretty sick of the cold and snow and ice.
GTKY: Back to the daily grind. No rest for the broke! Lol

What are you doing to GKU? Nothing at the moment...waiting for AF to end then start temping
RRCS: Can't believe we're hitting 12 months, and I'm really working on staying optimistic and positive. Do you call the RE after 12 months total? Or do I minus the 3 months before I miscarried and wait another few months? What do you guys do to stay positive?
GTKY: What does the upcoming week look like for you? Are you taking it easy between Christmas and New Years or already back to your daily grind? I'm a teacher so I still have this week off to re-set before returning to school.
*loss mentioned* Hugs, vancitygirl. When we were TTC #1 I restarted my counting after my loss. So we tried for 5 cycles, BFP on the 5th cycle, loss at 5.5 weeks, benched one cycle, then tried 11 more cycles before I conceived again on the 11th. We did a fertility workup with my OB the month before I conceived (HSG, SA, etc.) and probably would have started exploring other options after that if I hadn't gotten pregnant when I did.
Idk if my way of counting was the "right" way but just thought I would share. I think you should do what feels right to you.
As far as staying positive, I don't have much advice because I was terrible at it, and if it takes us a long time again now that we're TFAS, I am pretty sure I'll still be terrible at it. The difference for me this time is that I have this wonderful place for support and solidarity, which I didn't have the first time around, and it was a sad and lonely time in my life. Just know that we are here for you, lean on us when you need to, and above all be kind to yourself.

All of this! Well said. I don't think it is too early to at least look into next steps. We're here if you need anything!

What are you doing to GKU? BBT, OPK, Mucinex, ED/EOD
RRCS: Since my D&C my periods have been even shorter and even lighter than they were, plus my cycle has shortened, so I'm hoping to get into my GYN this week and figure s**t out
GTKY: What does the upcoming week look like for you? Are you taking it easy between Christmas and New Years or already back to your daily grind? Taking it easy definitely. Christmas was not pleasant, it was dramatic and emotional. I *can't* with life right now.

*hugs* Staying positive is hard, for sure. Most days, I try not to think about it. When it hits me hard, I just let myself have some time to feel sad or frustrated or whatever it is I'm feeling.
To the 12 months question - the recommendation is 12 months of active trying without a successful pregnancy. But if your insurance covers treatment, they may reset the clock.
And I just re-read your question and I think you're asking about subtracting the three months that you were pregnant? If so, then I'm genuinely not sure of the answer. Hopefully someone else can help. :\
