RRCS: NGKUR-We were so exhausted from all the traveling and partying this wknd that we put DS in bed by 7:15 last night and then DH and I were both lights out by 8. I feel so much better today!
GTKY: I babysat from middle school through high school. A lot. As a senior I took a job as a hostess in a restaurant, that was my first *real* job. I hated every second of it. As soon as I passed my nurse's aid certification, I left there and worked in a nursing home until I graduated college. My first job using my degree was as an RN on an ICU step-down unit
What are you doing to GKU? Temping, will do EOD eventually, and adding OPK's this month
RRCS: none.
GTKY: what was your first-ever job (as a kid or adult, you decide)? I babysat for neighborhood kids in middle and high school and worked in a drugstore in high school.
What are you doing to GKU?: bbt, will start cm when spotting stops
RRCS: nothing new here
GTKY: what was your first-ever job (as a kid or adult, you decide)? I babysat a lot in junior high and high school. My first job with an official pay stub was at the grocery store as the community coordinator. It was pretty fun, I organized the weekly cooking classes and ran small in store events for kids and adults.
britta , glad you were able to get some good rest. That sounds glorious!
Cycle/Month: 3rd PP cycle
CD: 19
What are you doing to GKU? BBT, CM, PNV, EOD (but probably will switch to ED as of today)
RRCS: I think today may be O day. My temp plummeted today, I had some light cramping last night and this morning, and my boobs were more sensitive when DS was nursing yesterday. DH and I HIO last night but I told him to get his ass home tonight so we can get in another shot!
GTKY: I started babysitting at age 11, making $3/hour, and kept doing that throughout high school, college, post-college, and law school (though I made considerably more by the end haha). My first job with a paystub was at my aunt's farm starting when I was 12 throughout high school. She ran a summer riding camp so I worked there as a counselor (and later instructor), and during the school year I worked as a groom for the lesson program (and also taught some lessons).

What are you doing to GKU? Today, I'm drinking all the caffeine and giving no fucks!
RRCS: scheduling an HSG, nervous about it!
GTKY: I was a full time babysitter for my nephew from 13-16 but my sister only paid me for Saturday's! I was a dishwasher in a nursing home from 16-21. Though I was a cook there in the summers.

What are you doing to GKU? temping right now, but mostly just because I am crazy and like to see a complete chart with all the little dots.
RRCS: I ovulate late --like day 21-24. I'm going to be in WTO for a while! hugs ironbaby ,
GTKY: what was your first-ever job (as a kid or adult, you decide)? I "apprenticed" at a florist shop a few times and the guy told me to come in one day and he was going to pay me and when my mom went to drop me off the place had closed down. SO weird right?
Edit: And because I'm trying to be more positive, my rave is that I went to a wonderful hot yoga class yesterday and another one this morning. Working on my mindfulness, eating better and trying to feel more in my body during these next three weeks.
What are you doing to GKU? Temping, will start OPKs later this week.
RRCS: my goal is to chill the fuck out these next few months. I'm going to lay off charting all my "symptoms" and probably just temp until I get CHs. I usually start spotting before I get a temp dip so I think temping in the TWW just makes me crazy more than anything.
GTKY: what was your first-ever job (as a kid or adult, you decide)? I did a lot of babysitting. My first real job at 15 was Mr. Gattis pizza. I did every job in that place and loved it! Ticket taker for the arcade game prizes, birthday party hostess, cashier, and my fave was making the salad bar beautiful. My OCD tendencies really showed with that one.
RRCS: I just finished testing with an RE that required me to be back on BCPs for 10 days, so now I'm sort of spotting/having light withdrawal bleeding. Haven't had enough to really call it a period, but I'm sort of just going to start this over as a new cycle (stopped BCP on Thursday). So I really am not sure what to say my CD is, but hopefully I'll be able to figure out an O date.
GTKY: what was your first-ever job (as a kid or adult, you decide)? I cleaned my dad's office every week starting at about age 9 and worked at my grandfather's bakery at about age 13. I think my first non-family business job was when I was 15 and worked as a waitress for a catering service. I had a lot of odd jobs in high school.

What are you doing to GKU? PNV
RRCS: Forgot to start temping this morning! I will start tomorrow... Just planned a weekend trip around O time. It is fun to be spontaneous, maybe it will do the trick.
GTKY: what was your first-ever job (as a kid or adult, you decide)? My first job was at 15 working at a grocery store.
RRCS: Dh had performance issues yesterday. I was ok with it but he took it pretty hard. These things happen and I knew he was tired. But then he kept trying and trying, poor guy. I had told him that O was imminent and he took that to heart. He bounced back fine this morning though.
GTKY: My summer after graduating high school I took a part time evening job at a small university. I had to call alums and ask for donations. The alums were from the 1940's! I felt horrible and had more than one child or grandchild bitch me out for asking money from the elderly. Worst. Job. Ever. Plus I suck at sales.

Morning everyone!
Cycle/Month: 1/2
CD: 53
What are you doing to get GKU? Charting, Metformin, low carb diet, OPKs and sex
RRCS: I had a huge temp spike this morning. I hope I finally ovulated!
GTKY: I babysat a fair amount when I was in middle school and high school. I was a nanny for about 6 weeks the summer between my junior and senior year in HS.
My first paid "real" job was as a nurse intern in the newborn nursery. It was the best job ever!

What are you doing to GKU? thyroid meds, all the rest of the stuff later
RRCS: I woke up this morning to AF. I usually wouldn't mind because we were TTA, BUT #1 It's my Birthday and #2 Now I have to cancel my gyno appointment for tomorrow. I am just trying to figure out if I will have a medium/light flow tomorrow (since they said I could still go if that's the case) or heavy flow I knew this was going to happen
GTKY: what was your first-ever job (as a kid or adult, you decide)? I babysat a couple of times and then my got my first job at a daycare at 15. I cleaned the bathrooms and worked as aide for about 2 1/2 hour after school. I was there for 4 years and never got a raise. I started making $5.75 and left making the same.
littlelion, I could never do anything related to sales calls. Ick. No thank you.
cookswithwine9, We were supposed to do a little vacation for O this cycle, too, but the damn ice storm kinda got in the way. Hope you have fun on your trip!
littlelion, I am glad YH is feeling better today. Mine takes stuff like that really hard too. I've stopped giving him updates about my cycle (unless it's "AF is here") because otherwise he tends to let the pressure get to him. Also, that job sounds terrible! gabride2010, FX for O!! penguin129, LT for hugs. Stupid AF ruining shit as usual. I hope you enjoy your birthday in spite of it!
What are you doing to GKU? Temping, checking CM and CP, sex, restarted OPKs this morning
RRCS: My CM never dried up after the fakeout, but it did go back to sticky/creamy. Today it's definitely watery again. OPK this AM actually showed a better line than most of the tests last week. CP is soft and high again. Hopefully this time it's for real.
GTKY: what was your first-ever job (as a kid or adult, you decide)? Hmm. Probably swim coach. I didn't get a real paycheck, just a pitiful check at the end of the summer season, but it was like a part time job. God, you couldn't pay me to deal with the parents again. No thank you. Loved the kids, but hated the "my special snowflake" treatment that some of the parents required.

What are you doing to GKU? Sex, temping, OPKs, checking CM.
RRCS: Just tired. MH and I went to a concert last night but it got out a lot later than we thought it would. We didn't get home until midnight and I get up at 4:30am.
GTKY: what was your first-ever job (as a kid or adult, you decide)? I worked for the local Parks and Rec. There was a teen group (12-17) that did a lot of outings, mostly overnight. I got to work during the winter program one year and got to go on all the ski trips. The job itself was easy, grocery shopping and helping keep things organized on the trips. It was a really fun job and I basically was paid to ski and hangout with friends.

What are you doing to GKU? PNV and waiting for my period to end. I'll likely start temping again tomorrow.
RRCS: Nothing today.
GTKY: what was your first-ever job (as a kid or adult, you decide)? I started babysitting for a family from my dance studio when I was 13. I watched them until I started my first real job as a cashier at a local supermarket when I turned 16. I worked there during summers and school breaks until I moved from MA to CT for law school 8 years later.

What are you doing to GKU? 1st medicated cycle, trying to decide between TI and IUI
RRCS: Blah. I'm dealing with positional vertigo and that's always fun. I felt like I was going to fall off the table during my ultrasound this morning. I really hope this bout lasts only a few days rather than a few weeks (or months).
GTKY: what was your first-ever job (as a kid or adult, you decide)? My first job was as a Christmas card store when I was 17. My parents didn't really want me to work in high school or college because they said school was my job. The seasonal job was all they would agree to.
penguin129 , happy birthday! Sorry about AF though. That's unfortunate timing.
Cycle/Month: 11 AL

What are you doing to GKU? Waiting out AF. I might get some bloodwork done this cycle, and probably further testing next cycle. I have the appointment on Wednesday to go over next steps.
RRCS: Cramps were HORRIBLE yesterday, and I bled through onto my white office chair. I feel a lot better today. The Advil's working.
GTKY: what was your first-ever job (as a kid or adult, you decide)? Kennel at vet clinic. I had a lot of fun, but I also learned medical stuff is not for me.

gabride2010, I'm definitely struggling. I haven't even been at work for 2 hours yet and I'm ready to call it day and go back to bed. We saw Josh Ritter. He's kind of folk/alt country and little bit indie rock. It was a lot of fun! The band is amazing and he looked like he was having the time of his life on stage.
sleepymonkey Sorry about the vertigo. I take Dramamine when I feel it coming on and it really helps me a lot. Have you tried that?
I take it at night because it makes me a little groggy. I seem to deal with this at least once a year and I've learned to cope with it much better than I used to.
