What are you doing to GKU? All the things
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: no today
GTKY: tell us about your hair. Any fun colors or cuts? Typical shades? Or virgin hair?
Nothing fun or exciting right now. It's a lob and I'm currently brunette with some red thrown in for variation but no actual highlights. I've done the bright red before and really liked it but it's so hard to maintain.
I'm tempted to have my stylist put in some purple peekaboo highlights just for fun but that also won't be too obvious since my job is also conservative.
What are you doing to GKU? Nothing yet. BBT OPK PNV preseed
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: 9 day luteal phase last cycle. Wtf. And the one before that I think was 7 (I didn't temp that cycle but had a positive OPK). Last cycle was 21 days and the one before was 58. I officially hate my body.
Anyone know how concerning a short luteal phase like that can be for TTC? I had pretty normal length luteal phase when I was TTC my first two.
GTKY: tell us about your hair. Any fun colors or cuts? Typical shades? Or virgin hair? Def not Virgin. I've had every cut from long to pixie and I've had blonde brown black and red. Red is my fav but so much upkeep. Right now it's long-ish and brown. Boring
@irish, I am in the same boat with the LPs. I always had 14-day LPs when trying for kid one. Now they are ranging from 9-12 days. pibblemom and I were talking supplements above. I put a call in to my RE to ask what he thinks and am waiting to hear back, though it may not be until early next week. Side note: I love me RE's office. So far they have been so open to answering questions like this without having me come in and encourage me to call.

peaseblossom55, GL with the IUI tomorrow! siouxsieq, I think 10 days for LP is the generally hoped for minimum but don't quote me on it. Since you had 1 anovulatory cycle and 1 9 day LP I don't think I'd worry too much just yet. @irish, Like I said above, I think 10 days is the minimum. I think it's worth a mention. Progesterone supplements aren't necessarily fun but are a pretty easy fix for something that could be causing difficulty TTC.

What are you doing to GKU? Femara and hopefully IUI next week
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Still spotting and annoyed with that
GTKY: tell us about your hair. Any fun colors or cuts? Typical shades? Or virgin hair? I'm a natural redhead. I have never dyed or highlighted my hair! I have a longish Rachel from Friends haircut lol.
teachermomtobe thank you. I'm not involved with an RE at this point, I am over 35 so I guess technically I could start that process since its been more than 6 months and I have had really wonky cycles, but I think I am going to try one or two more cycles first. This was my first cycle temping, so I'll see if this LP issue becomes a habit. It's good to know there is something that can help if it is an issue!
