Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: none
GTKY- I have a BA in psychology and I work with at-risk youth. I'm really thinking about making a career change and going back to school though. I would really like to work in the medical field. Right now I'm thinking ultrasound tech.
CD: 9
What you're doing to get KU: opks, temping, preseed, sex eod during fertile window
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I'm annoyed that I have been getting "fertile" CM the past couple of days because normally I only get it around ovulation, so it's just like it's TRYING to confuse me and make me question myself.
GTKY- What do you do? I work predominantly in Congestive Heart Failure research, but I am slowly starting to work on some suicide prevention/mental health studies.

What you're doing to get KU: hoping AF leaves today so I can start temping tomorrow.

What you're doing to get KU: I think AF left, but I'll probably give it another day. I'm actually going to start checking cervical position this month, in addition to more sex in the fertile window (hopefully DH will be able to cooperate, poor guy), temping, OPKs (wondfos!), and drinking more water & green tea so I can actually get better data in terms of CM.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I should be hearing from DH's doctor tomorrow regarding his testosterone levels. Otherwise, nothing new to report - started using my new Mabis today since I got my shipment of goodies from Amazon yesterday.

What you're doing to get KU: Waiting for AF to leave. I threw myself a pity party yesterday, cried a little, then ate McDonalds for dinner (whaaa?). I am all good now, back on track like it never happened. Excited for a full cycle of temping!
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I had a negative OPKs all last cycle testing once a day, so I'm leaning towards a short LH surge. I am going to try doing it twice a day, maybe at work. I started temping mid-cycle, so I don't know when I O'd. I also caved and bought the VIP version of FF!

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I'm loving my first cycle temping. It's a cool window into what's happening. Only problem is my fur baby wakes me up between 3am and 6am everyday to go out. I have too many open circles. I'm feeling good about this cycle. Like I'm doing everything that's in my control.

What you're doing to get KU: sex at least every other day. Still a bit nervous about ttcal so taking it easy the first few months with as few stress triggers as I can manage. If after a few months we haven't gotten a BFP I might start considering tracking more but I'm content for now just to track AF.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: AF reared her ugly head overnight last night and today I feel like I'm bleeding out. Soaking thru tampons insanely fast(for me). I'm seriously considering keeping a box in my locker at work from now on since I've gone thru my purse stash already today.
GTKY- What do you do? I'm the operations specialist at a cell phone store. Basically I do inventory management and merchandizing for the whole store... By myself.

What you're doing to get KU: Learning as much as i can about my body, and trying to stay calm. Started temping this cycle, started OPKs today (peeing in a cup is such a pain in the ass), sex EOD, lots of water, one last beer tonight until cycle end.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Just finished my first AF since a MC , which is exciting for me ('cause everything is falling back into order finally!) but the blood test I took AFTER I started AF turned up with an HCG level of 6.7 :-??. I was so hoping for a big fat ZERO so I can stop the weekly blood tests. bleh.
GTKY- What do you do? Architectural designer.
Month/Cycle: 6/1
CD: 21
What you're doing to get KU:
Having sex. Thinking about signing up for ff and temping, but not sure if it would make a difference.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks:
My husband has low testosterone which he is being treated for with medication which can have the possible side effect of low sperm count. The prescribing doctor won't test to see if the medication is affecting my husband this way, but said we needed to wait and try for a full year and he would refer us to a fertility specialist. I'm frustrated about this. I am having a harder and harder time dealing with the disappointment of my period arriving every month.
GTKY- What do you do?
I am a homemaker. I'm raising my son, starting our vegetable garden, and keeping a tidy house. It's the first time I started tomato plants instead of buying them and I'm so excited that we've got three going in our mini green house!

What you're doing to get KU: AF just ended so I guess sex EOD starting now-ish. I've had a headache 6 of the last 7 days though so the only thing I want to do right now is go to bed... alone.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Just started temping again after failing the last go-round. I've been spotting my entire cycle for 3 cycles now and I'm so over it!
GTKY- What do you do? Finance for a tech company
