What are you doing to get KU?: Temping, OPKs and hopefully being in the same state as my husband around the time I ovulate. Trying to eat well, although frozen pizza still makes its way into my diet more than I would like to admit...
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks?: This is my first time temping. I'm kinda all over the place on my chart and am not quite sure if temping is for me or not. The problem is that sometimes I'm sleeping next to my husband (which makes me warmer), and sometimes I'm not. Sometimes he comes home and opens the door to our balcony which freezes our place and makes me cooler. I also usually don't even get very many hours of consecutive sleep. By the time I go to bed after work and studying, it's late. Then my husband comes home (later) and wakes me up (maybe after 2-3 hours of sleep), I'm awake for 15-30 minutes then another 2-3 hours later I'm getting up to get ready for work. Right now I'm living on 5 hours of sleep a night (6 if I'm really lucky), and that sleep is disrupted at least once during the night. My lack of sleep is probably not helping my fertility situation either. Has anyone read that sleep disruption can affect fertility?
GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do that comforts or relaxes you? Yoga OR lying on the couch, lights off, glass of wine in hand, listening to my fave music. Showering with a glass of wine is pretty alright too. Basically, anything that involves wine.
Cycle/Month: 9/10 CD: 23 What are you doing to get KU?: HIO, temping, prenatals Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks?: I just want to O! I had high hopes it was yesterday because I thought I had O pains, and there was a little spotting, but it wasn't. GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do that comforts or relaxes you? I love taking a hot bath with a good book. I also like working out. That helps relax me too.
What are you doing to get KU?: checking CM (which I am still trying to figure out??? Is it clear, is it slippery, who the hell knows? Tempting, HIO
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks?: I am still trying to figure it all out. I don't think I have Oed yet based on tempts, but if I did it was a week ago but that seems early., However, I also had a crazy short period, so maybe I O earlier than I thought. I also can't figure out how to link my chart to my signature.
GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do that comforts or relaxes you? Sleeping. and Vodka...and wine. I think I am a little ADD so not a lot relaxes me.
Looks like I'm starting birth control today so I won't be posting here anymore. My cyst shrank a lot, they went from 30 and 20 to 10 and 9. We have a new kinda plan maybe. My Dr thinks I just have more bad eggs than good ones so he now wants me to do IVF with genetic testing. My husband has been pretty vocal he just doesn't want to do IVF because of the cost of 25k per cycle and no guarantee. My Dr recommended I try 1 more injectable cycle at a higher dose and then into IVF if we choose. That's why I'm starting birth control to let my ovaries rest for a couple of weeks before I start injections. I'm afraid if my husband doesn't change his mind this may be our last chance.
So I bought some flowers to plant, I'm going to sit outside to drink, cry, and plant flowers.
@Lomcmuffin I like it so far! I thought I wasn't going to O last cycle but after a treatment of acupuncture, I Od the next day. My acupuncturist said she's aiming to get my O to CD 14/15 and I said hell yes.. I'm on board with that! We'll see!
@pintobean39 I'm so sorry. I don't really have anything to say that will make it any less crappy. Hopefully you and DH can take this quick break to really talk things out. Fingers crossed he comes around so you're on the same page and you can come up with a plan!!

Stalks?: H and I met with his GP to discuss his sperm analysis. He has slow swimming sperm and 98% have abnormal heads. His GP doesn't seem worried- she said yes, that's a lot of abnormal sperm, but it only takes one! Not really comforting. She has recommended that we see a fertility clinic, so she's getting us on the wait list which is apparently 4-6 months which will take us to the one year mark. I'm feeling a little sad tonight about the news, I was hoping that we were just unlucky at not being pregnant yet.
