R/R/CS: Getting close to O time! DH has an interview today. He texted me between parts and said it's going really well. I'm hoping for the best! His current work situation in awful and he needs out so bad. I just want him to have a job he loves. I have a great job and because of that we haven't looked to move so he's had a hard time finding something close that he loves. I think this would be it though and then we'd both be happy in our careers.
GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating? I have two adorable quirks. The first is that he loves cooking for me. That in itself isn't the quirk, it's that when I ask to help he typically always say "No, go sit and relax. I'm making dinner for you". Maybe it's just because he doesn't want me messing it up Anyways.... the second is that he has the same quirky, stupid sense of humor as me. We make the same type of corny jokes and I love it. It nice when the other person laughs! The annoying one would be dirty clothes. He has a habit of throwing dirty clothes on the floor, right beside the basket. Really?? I don't want to have to walk on dirty clothes to get out/in the bedroom.

Married: August 2014 TTC since November 2015 BFP #1 12/17/15 - MC 1/28/16 BFP #2 4/22/16 - EDD 12/30/16
Month/Cycle: 6/5 I think, I never know if I should include the 3 NTNP.
CD: 5
WAYDTGKU: Nothing much until next week when we're like
R/R/CS: Thank you so much to those who chimed in on the short periods, it really helped! I'm in a much better place worry-wise.
GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating? I've mentioned before but DH is this 6'6 giant softie that watches and loves Gilmore Girls and routinely asks our barely-10-lb dog if he's ready for walkies because I showed him this meme. I just love him. However, he sneezes loudly and often. Usually I don't care but sometimes...
DD born PPROM preemie at 36 weeks on 10/1/17 after over a year TI, then 3 failed IUIs, and finally a successful IVF FET.
Due with #2 5/2/19 after HIO once in my FW, because apparently that's how life works now. Team Blue!
@aliciabhen I feel your pain on the closet doors. My H leaves the kitchen cabinets open. It drives me crazy!
@SandwichLover Glad your dad is doing okay! Also, you should move the coffee somewhere completely different one day, just to throw your H off haha
@safire3 From what I've read on here about CBAD OPKs, the darkness of the line on the test doesn't really matter - it isn't the same type of test as the two lines of equal color tests. I used them for one cycle (hated them, I have really short LH surges, so they didn't really work for me, so switched back to Wondfos) and remember that the lines on the test strip didn't vary much, no matter what the test showed.
@MelissaM090 Your H's pasta preferences made me laugh!
@babymish@sldp123 Yay for double digits! So glad to be out of the boring part of the cycle!
@QueenSunscreen I can't do stretchy headbands either! They slide right off my head.
@JediAlly85 FX for another high temp! Good luck in the TWW!
@mrsdaddario So glad that your bleeding stopped and didn't give you any grief while you were getting busy.
@kellybean1988 Your H sounds exactly like mine. He'll talk about it in a hypothetical sense, but doesn't like directly talking about TTC a lot. I think it makes him nervous and also feel a lot of pressure to get the job done.
@Sparty18 FX for higher temps to confirm your O soon!
@mrsjqg1024 I might be wrong, because I'm certainly not the best CS-er here, but I think if you get another high temp tomorrow, FF will give you CH for CD15. Have you tried putting in a high temp for tomorrow and see what it does?
R/R/CS: I started OPKs today, and it was negative, as expected. But I was surprised to see that I had a faint second line. My OPKs are usually stark white until CD12 or 13 (I usually O between CD16-18). So maybe I'll O early this cycle? Also, my temp has risen by exactly .01 degrees for the last three days. Which is really weird for me to have such consistent temps.
GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating? My H's adorable/annoying quirk are one in the same: He's the most determined and unwavering person I've ever known. He never lets anything stand in the way of what he wants to accomplish, and will stand up for what he believes in, no matter what. On the other side of that coin, he's incredibly stubborn and arguments with him are impossible.

@crazypt2285 I'm so sorry for your loss and welcome. You can put the # of months (& cycles if you'd like) and then which cycle this is after loss (AL), so maybe something like 13mo (1st cycle TTCAL). I hope that helps. Again, I'm so sorry and you're in some great company here. People say some well-meaning but ignorant things that completely miss the support you're needing.
Mo/C: 8/7 (1st cycle TTCAL)

WAYD: benched waiting to do bloodwork for my Midwife, and then all of it
R/R/CS: Just hoping we can jump in this cycle in the next two weeks and that my body cooperates with H's travel schedule (ha!).
GTKY: Love: My H is a charming entertainer and he's so good at it. He loves making me laugh. Not love so much: He can find very few things without my help or without at least speaking words to ask me where it is.

@aliciabhen, @kirby1220, @Sparty18, @Megzb510, @mokay19, @thj101, @gonetothesea, @Steelerfan3878, @Dilynne, @l9i, @virginiaham Is this just a husband thing? Is it in their DNA? I'm always complaining that my DH has an inability to 'tidy'. He'll CLEAN things if that's his task, but if someone is on their way over and I'm like 'can you quickly tidy the living room' he doesn't understand that I mean to fold the blanket on the couch, straighten the pillows, toss the newspaper, put your empty bowl in the sink, etc. He just looks baffled because it's like he can't see clutter. I feel like this goes along with the closing closet doors, light switches, not putting things away stuff. And like .. was saying, he doesn't know where anything in our house is, and is the worst 'looker for things' I've ever met. He'll be 'searching' for something in the bathroom closet (really meaning that he's standing, staring blankly at the shelves) and insisting he can't find whatever it is. Whereas I huffily get up, go over, move one thing, and hand him what he's looking for. And maybe it wouldn't be hard to find stuff if you didn't keep EVERYTHING.
@safire3, @mrsjqg1024 Yay for affectionate husbands! Mine has no issues with PDA either.
@SandwichLover Glad your dad is home and FX for a speedy recovery!
@sldp123 Your SO and cleaning out the garage made me giggle. Mine is the opposite. We'll be going somewhere for something casual, no big deal and he's all 'we said we'd be there at 7 and it takes a half hour to get there so we should probably leave by 5:30'. Um, no.
@QueenSunscreen I'm sorry that thinking about stretchy headbands kept you awake .
@JediAlly85 Sorry about the work situation. That sounds really frustrating that you were overlooked are getting even more work because of it.
@mrsdaddario Glad you broke the dry spell! (Although I don't think I should call it that when it's not your fault). I have trouble with temping too but I figure there's no harm in it and I kind of like the routine.
@kellybean1988 DH as the little spoon is adorable. Mine gets like that sometimes too, where he just wants to be cuddled and I don't mind at all. I feel like I know EXACTLY what you're talking about with the clot-like discharge, but I don't think I've noticed it since TTC. Interested to see if anyone else has insight.
@ladystinson Oh, I GET IT. DH is a computer technician as well and I've heard him walking people through stuff on the phone and I refer to it as his 'sexy phone voice'. It's all deep and soft and calm and for some reason he never uses the voice on me, but he should, because... I like it. A lot.
@wineo929 Handy DH's are awesome! Hope he has a good time with your DS while you're away!
@PepperAT It's great that your DH is so supportive. I'm starting OPK's this cycle too, we'll see how it goes!
@khbear Try and stay strong with the pregnancy complainers! I know how hard it is, when you would kill for the opportunity to complain.
@felix08 My DH is like that too. He's super fiscally responsible with day-to-day stuff (more than I am) but I'm the more practical one with long-term finances. No, we don't HAVE the $15,000 required to completely re-do our basement, no matter how much we talk about it in theory. But on that note - how do you feel about your white trim now? Our 1964 house is all dark wood trim and doors, and it's something we've discussed. Did it make a huge impact on the look of your house?
@sammajane19 Day 3 of Femara here too! The only side effect I've noticed is that even if I'm cold (since it's snowing IN APRIL here) my face is super hot and my cheeks are flushed. I'm only assuming that it's the medication, but I noticed it yesterday afternoon, and it's starting again now.
@kfair001 It's so great that you get a 'good dad' preview with your DH and the nieces and nephews!
@crazypt2285 Try not punch people who tell you 'things happen for a reason'. But if you did, it would be perfectly understandable.
@BecauseLove Kudos for getting DH in the kitchen! Wish I could get mine to do literally anything involving the preparation of food!
@mrsdee15 I'm with your husband on the sneezing. I'm loud and frequent and DH gets so annoyed, AS IF I CAN HELP IT.
@Lecool I think it says a lot when the thing you love about your SO is also the thing that drives you crazy. Unconditional love!

R/R/CS: I took my first day of Clomid today. I have taken it previously but only at 50mg. Holy hot flashes. I was am sitting at my desk just DYING, feeling like complete garbage. If the maids weren't at my house, I would go home to finish my day....#firstworldproblems.
GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating? He turns the vent fan on in the bathroom when he is just brushing his teeth or shaving. And if I am in there and he walks in, he turns it on before he leaves. If I want the damn vent on, I will turn it on. It drives me INSANE.

@MelissaM090 I love the white trim (we switched out the doors to be white as well)! We also changed paint colors at the same time to be lighter and the whole house just feels a lot brighter. It was definitely a good change for us, except for things not being completely finished, ha. We had considered just painting the trim we already had but it seemed like such a large task and the new trim we got wasn't too expensive. I think it's a relatively easy/inexpensive reno that really changes the look of the house.
Something that I thought of with today’s GTKY: my DH knows I’m
active on TB and even if he doesn’t like talking about babies 24/7, he almost
always asks me “what was today’s GTKY question???” at the end of the day. I think
that’s so cute of him—but looks like today I will just be telling him “we shared our
favorite things about our DH’s!”…and that’s it. Ha!
@aliciabhen Haha that
closet door thing is funny! That would annoy me too. My hubby is a
shorts-wearer as well!
@SandwichLover So
glad to hear your dad is home and doing well. That’s funny about the coffee!
@safire3 my hubby is
affectionate too. I just love that!
@MelissaM090 I
laughed out loud at the description of your DH’s aversion to certain types of
pasta! Thanks for your response—I told
one of my bffs about this discharge (she is not anywhere near TTC) and says she
notices it as well, but not every month. I am hoping it’s not a sign that I’m
NOT KU, but at least it sounds like I'm not the only one who experiences this.
@kirby1220 I am so sorry about CD1. I agree that FR should
refund millions of dollars to people.
@sldp123 I’m glad you
are feeling better this morning!
@QueenSunscreen Omg,
headbands don’t work for me either! I always want to wear them because they’re
so cute but they just don’t work on my head. Boo.
@JediAlly85 Yippee!
Hopefully I will be following you over to TWW soon. I’m so sorry for the
situation at your job. I know that is beyond frustrating—I hope it gets better
for you.
@mrsdaddario so glad
you and DH got to BD last night! Woohoo! My chart is all over the place too, it
is so frustrating. I laughed out loud about your DH asking if you wanted
croissants on your salad, ha!
@wineo929 OMG my DH
thinks I brush my teeth way too hard! I know it drives him batty, lol. And really, he is right--I do brush too hard, lol.
@PepperAT Yay
Wednesday! Hope you enjoy your hump day!
@mokay19 Haaa, my DH
never puts anything away either. Lol.
Thanks again for your input on my weird question!
@canavara this GTKY
is making me laugh—picturing your DH bringing you something, kneeling, and
saying “M’lady” made me laugh so hard!! That sounds like something my DH would
do as well. Love it!
@thj101 I’m so glad your DH likes to travel as much as you.
I can’t imagine loving to travel and being with someone who didn’t—that would
be tough!
@khbear I’m sorry
people you are around are complaining about being preggers. That makes TTC
really hard. Hope your day gets better!
@felix08 My DH is
constantly “planning” for things that are just never going to happen. He has a “when
we win the lottery” list, a “motorcycle” list, a loooong Disney World list
(although that is more in the realm of possibility than any other lists he has,
lol), a “tiny house” list, a “when we own a sheep farm” list—for real, these are not made up--…it goes
on and on. I don’t encourage him to stop because he loves to dream but sometimes it’s frustrating because
I know he’s getting his hopes up for things that aren’t reasonable!
@sammajane19 avoiding
carbs is difficult! Good luck, you can do it!
@Steelerfan3878 So
glad you’re starting to see positive changes in your fertility signs, woohoo!
@kfair001 I kind of think maybe I O’d yesterday too (oops,
just read your reply to me—yep!) Hope we
both get to move over to the TWW soon!
@juliebeannn my SO is
getting laid tonight too, what what! Aww,
that’s really cute about how good he is with your dog. I feel the same about my
DH and our dog!
@Sparty18 The DH is sick at the moment too so the frightening coughing episodes have been occurring very frequently! Also, as far as tracking CM, I seriously don't know what I'm doing lol. And **TMI** I'm not quite sure how to track it while also doing lots of BD'ing. Like, how do you tell the difference? Is it just me that can't figure this out? @mrsdaddario Really hoping it's Sunday because that's when our timing was best! Plus I had major cramps on Sunday and it certainly felt like O day. See my comment above regarding CM. Literally no clue how to track that stuff while BD'ing at the same time. @kfair001 I'm thinking that's why FF is confused. I was about an hour off with my temps over the weekend. Hopefully (if I get a higher temp again) FF will give me CH tomorrow! FX! @Lecool I tried messing around with FF and put in high temps for the next 2 days and nothing. The only way it gives me CH is if I change the detector setting to "research" instead of the recommended "advanced". Who knows! Hopefully I'll know more as the week goes on.
@mrsjqg1024 EWCM will look similar to semen, but when streched semen will break before the... 1 inch?.... whatever the goal is for EWCM. beyond that.... I've got nothing to offer lol I'm still learning too

Month/Cycle: 19/18
CD: 5
WAYDTGKU: Charting BBT (when I remember - today I did not!), BD often, considering OPK's this month, etc.
R/R/CS: AF is finally gone so BD-ing can commence! Haha! Nothing to really rant about today.. I'm just super ready for the weekend. Work has been really slow lately and it makes it hard to be here!
GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating? Adorable: he always gets up early on the weekends to let our dogs out and then stays up with the puppy so that I can sleep in. Sometimes I even get breakfast out of it Annoying: When he comes home from work, he empties EVERYTHING out of his pockets on to the counter and leaves it. Like, dude.. I just picked everything up in here!
@QueenSunscreenI have the same problem with headbands! @JediAlly85Sorry you're dealing with that at work. That's a total bummer and doesn't make it easier that you share a workspace. @PepperATI'm sure the TSA workers have seen some crazier things! Enjoy your vacation! @sammajane19Cutting carbs is so tough but will really help with avoiding bloat! Good luck!
WAYDTGKU: bd eod starting probably Friday my back is messed up and I don't feel like it today lol. I'm also considering preseed this cycle or next cycle of i can find it quick enough.
R/R/CS: wow last cycle messed up my mind!! Totally thought it was the month. It hit me hard and I have been super cranky. Just now pulling out of my crabby depression as next week is FW. I am giving a shout out to all of you who are dealing with depression/ anxiety disorders on top of trying to conceive. It's very difficult...keep your heads high!
GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating? Well going along with my depression and it hitting me hard that we didn't get pregnant last month, my husband has been absolutely amazing. It literally makes me jaw drop when I am so crabby and he looks at me and says "what can I do for you?" He knows I'm struggling off my anxiety meds and he is so sweet. Hehe. Annoying habits? I'm type A and do things quick and asap. He is not lol he moves slow and has a whatever attitude and it drives me nuts lol
@mrsjqg1024 It's not always easy to track CM, so you're not alone! Have you read TCOYF (Taking Charge of Your Fertility)? That book provides a ton of helpful information for CM (and TTC in general). I highly recommend it, a lot of us here have purchased it off Amazon. FF also has some good information if you search for it there.
@kellybean1988 I had something very similar to that 2 cycles
ago. It was like a day or two after O.
It obviously ended up being nothing but it was really weird. It was the same consistency that you described.
@I9i Yay. I so hope
that he does well and gets the job!
Also, FX that you O soon!
This question has been driving me nuts! Please answer?
Ok, so I've used the search function and there was only one really old thread that didn't explain it in ways that seemed clear to me. I didn't want to make a zombie thread or a thread dedicated to just this, so I'm asking here.
How have you all been determining your Month/Cycle?
For instance, I've been TTC since February 17th which was CD1. I have somewhat long cycles, around 30-35 days, and this is my second cycle, therefore the "Cycle" part would be 2.
However, because I've been TTC February, March, and now it's April, would I be considered 3/2 or 2/2?
Month/Cycle: 3/2? 2/2?
CD: 17
WAYDTGKU: Temping, trying OPKs, about to be HIO because DH's days off are here! Right in time for O!
R/R/CS: Please see above?
GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating? For the quirk that's adorable, it's the fact that he kisses all of our dogs and acts like their our kids and they're all his SS. Also the fact that he doesn't shy away from calling sex "babymaking" and really wants kids. For the annoying quirk, it's the fact that he'll work himself to death doing overtime because he feels like we need more financial security, and therefore I'm doing all the chores myself because he's too exhausted.

I can't get in for my first acupuncture appointment until next week, when I will (hopefully) be in the TWW. Does that matter? Should I wait until next cycle?

That's a good question @PaukMeKiande . I don't know if this is the right answer but we've been trying since September so September to April is 7 months, I've had only 4 AF's since starting TTC so I'm 7/4. I hope that's helpful?
@PaukMeKiande I agree with what @mrsdaddario suggested. I've been TTC for 6 months, and am on my 6th cycle, so I'm 6/6. Before April 1st, I was on my 5th month TTC, but had already started my 6th cycle, so I was 5/6.
I think a lot of people do it differently, either they don't count certain cycles where they were TTA or had bad timing, etc. I think you should do whatever you feel is accurate for you.

R/R/CS: Got the green light from my GP yesterday to keep trying (I have a non-ttc related medical issue and I was worried I would be benched but I'm good to go). DH has finally agreed to avoid the sauna for at least my FW...so his little guys aren't going to boil this cycle! I'm ready to start baby making! On a side note, I got into an intensive 1-year training program for my organization - they only pick one leader each year to participate - so I have one more non-ttc related to distract me in the coming months! I'm excited! It lines up nicely with the end of my MBA which will also be completed this year (finally).
GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating? It's not so much a quirk but my DH is very funny and is always trying to make me laugh. He is good hearted and fun to be around. He always lightens the mood in any situation. What drives me crazy is that he has a couple really annoying habits like leaving the microwave door open and he can't put the cap on the toothpaste EVER! After living together for over 10 years I guess I should be used to it but I'm not.

All in all, I've been TTC for 6 months but I'm on my 3rd cycle since the loss. I guess I could have started over with my months, but I thought I'd keep it at 6 since that's still when I began my TTC journey. For me it makes sense.

@houseofsetters my acupuncturist said you can start any time. The method is good for blood circulation/blockages etc and really than can benefit any part of the cycle and will certainly do no harm.
OK, last responses of the day! Busy night tonight. Sorry
friends, I feel like I have posted a gazillion times today--I’m blowing up the
group wall! I hope you all have a great
rest of your Wednesday. Halfway through the week!
@kaityh1 You’re doing
great! Work is slow for me too this week, and I HATE that. Hoping it picks up
for you quickly!
@1017Shannon I’m
sorry to hear that you were so disappointed this month. Thinking of you—take care
of yourself!
@kfair001 Weird! I have no idea what that’s about. I tried
googling but can’t find ANYTHING about it. It makes me worried that I’m def not
KU this cycle, since I’ve had this type of discharge (or whatever it is) each cycle that HASN’T ended in a pregnancy.
Ugh. Maybe it has nothing to do with anything, I think I'm just looking into it too much.
WAYDTGKU: Clomid CD 5-9, typical BD and charting stuff.
R/R/CS: Well, it's day 20 so I'm just waiting for day 30 so I can talk to my gyno about trying again. I knew this wasn't going to be the cycle for me so it's not as heart breaking as it is frustrating. I know it's still possible that I could O in the next few days, so my fingers are still crossed. UGH I need someone to vent to.
GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating?
His grin. OMG it's the best thing in the world. When he has done something and he is laughing about it, oh my gosh it melts my heart! He has to wash EVERYTHING he uses. It doesn't matter if I wash dishes by hand, or use the dishwasher. He has to rinse it first. Even if I JUST washed it. I'm learning to not get so irritated but it does bug the crap out of me!

houseofsetters I do accupunture to help develop mature follies and then during my TWW wait I do acupuncture to help with flow...and help create sticky place for the egg to find a happy little home. The follie part has worked...so far the rest not so much...but it does help me relax and feel like I am doing something. But if your needing to save money...then this could be the one to save on possible.
PaukMeKiande I am 19/11 because we have been TTC for 19 months but I have had some LONG LONG cycles mixed into that so that is how that number exists.

R/R/CS: I think DH is right. We're going to bench ourselves and go at least triple the time our doctor recommended without ttc. Sucks a lot. I'm having a hard time with it. I'll miss participating in these daily threads for that time period but I think I'm going to stop temping too. I have lots of months of data to look at since I started in July 2015, I think I need to take this month off.
GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating? Adorable- he needs me to approve all of his clothes shopping purchases. Even when I was across the country with my sister a few weeks ago I was getting picture texts of him shopping for blazers. Irritating- he pumps his leg up and down sometimes, super annoying if we're out at dinner and it's moving the table

@PennStateCait sorry to hear you will be benching yourself this month, but I guess you need to do whatever you feel is right. There is a benched thread you could opt into if you wish but you are welcome here regardless.
On a separate note - my SO is a leg fidgeter too, he does it ALL THE TIME, and apparently people that fidget a lot burn a lot more calories per day than none fidgeters, which would explain why SO can eat whatever he likes and not put on a pound.
@PennStateCait So sorry that you have decided to be benched this cycle. I'm sure it is for the best though as if you did happen to get a BFP this cycle, you would be overly concerned. Take it as an opportunity to focus on you and any fitness/health goals you have. I agree that taking a break from temping will probably be really nice for you and you do have plenty of data. I really do hope you will still participate on some of the threads here though! Hugs!
This question has been driving me nuts! Please answer?
Ok, so I've used the search function and there was only one really old thread that didn't explain it in ways that seemed clear to me. I didn't want to make a zombie thread or a thread dedicated to just this, so I'm asking here.
How have you all been determining your Month/Cycle?
For instance, I've been TTC since February 17th which was CD1. I have somewhat long cycles, around 30-35 days, and this is my second cycle, therefore the "Cycle" part would be 2.
However, because I've been TTC February, March, and now it's April, would I be considered 3/2 or 2/2?
Month/Cycle: 3/2? 2/2
@PaukMeKiande - this was discussed briefly in yesterday's WTO as well. For most people they are the same number. Do you have a fairly regular cycle? This really is more of an issue for people with really long or short cycles. For example, I have been trying since early August 2015 but have very long cycles, so I am at 9 months/6 cycles. People with short cycles start adding up the differences once you get several months in as well. I personally just change the month when it's a new calendar month, I don't calculate to the day I had Mirena removed. There's no one keeping score so to speak so if you are pretty regular it's probably not worth tracking the (slight) difference.

WAYDTGKU: temping charting
R/R/CS: Not much. Work has been busy, so that's been a nice distraction. I've had a crazy busy week in general and it doesn't slow down until Saturday. Then Sunday I'm headed out of town for a Giants game! That is what's keeping me going. Yay for baseball!!!
GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating? DH has to be moving All. The. Time. It's really annoying. He even moves in his sleep! There are times I can get over it, but most of the time it drives me absolutely nuts. His super adorable quirk is the face he makes when he does something that he would have gotten after me for. This has only started being adorable recently. Like, if I accidently run over the curb, I get a 10 minute lecture about how bad it is for the truck and blah blah blah. But when he does it, oh oops no big deal! Finally I called him out on it and he just made this "I know I'm in trouble, don't yell at me like I do to you" face and it cracked me up the first time. Now we both make that face when we do something like that.

"It's when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do." -Atticus Finch, To Kill A Mockingbird
My promises to come back for replies today fell short. Man this is a busy week! Two days before my spring break (which is inevitably why it's busy, so much grading!). That being said its so funny that almost everyone's DHs can't close a darn cabinet/closet/drawer! I don't get it. The weirdest part about my DH is that he'll sometimes 'close it' just enough so that you can't see in, but not enough so that it latches. I think this is his attempt at closing them so I don't get mad, but it almost makes me angrier!
And as far as the shorts go I usually think he's crazy too because I'm freezing and he's strutting along with his legs out in the open, but I'll never complain because he's got some nice muscular calves ; )

WAYDTGKU: Temping/Charting, BD EOD
R/R/CS: Getting close to O time! DH has an interview today. He texted me between parts and said it's going really well. I'm hoping for the best! His current work situation in awful and he needs out so bad. I just want him to have a job he loves. I have a great job and because of that we haven't looked to move so he's had a hard time finding something close that he loves. I think this would be it though and then we'd both be happy in our careers.
GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating? I have two adorable quirks. The first is that he loves cooking for me. That in itself isn't the quirk, it's that when I ask to help he typically always say "No, go sit and relax. I'm making dinner for you". Maybe it's just because he doesn't want me messing it up

WAYDTGKU: Nothing much until next week when we're like
R/R/CS: Thank you so much to those who chimed in on the short periods, it really helped! I'm in a much better place worry-wise.
GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating? I've mentioned before but DH is this 6'6 giant softie that watches and loves Gilmore Girls and routinely asks our barely-10-lb dog if he's ready for walkies because I showed him this meme. I just love him.
However, he sneezes loudly and often. Usually I don't care but sometimes...
then 3 failed IUIs, and finally a successful IVF FET.

@SandwichLover Glad your dad is doing okay! Also, you should move the coffee somewhere completely different one day, just to throw your H off haha
@safire3 From what I've read on here about CBAD OPKs, the darkness of the line on the test doesn't really matter - it isn't the same type of test as the two lines of equal color tests. I used them for one cycle (hated them, I have really short LH surges, so they didn't really work for me, so switched back to Wondfos) and remember that the lines on the test strip didn't vary much, no matter what the test showed.
@MelissaM090 Your H's pasta preferences made me laugh!
@babymish @sldp123 Yay for double digits! So glad to be out of the boring part of the cycle!
@kirby1220 Sorry for CD1
@QueenSunscreen I can't do stretchy headbands either! They slide right off my head.
@JediAlly85 FX for another high temp! Good luck in the TWW!
@mrsdaddario So glad that your bleeding stopped and didn't give you any grief while you were getting busy.
@kellybean1988 Your H sounds exactly like mine. He'll talk about it in a hypothetical sense, but doesn't like directly talking about TTC a lot. I think it makes him nervous and also feel a lot of pressure to get the job done.
@Sparty18 FX for higher temps to confirm your O soon!
@mrsjqg1024 I might be wrong, because I'm certainly not the best CS-er here, but I think if you get another high temp tomorrow, FF will give you CH for CD15. Have you tried putting in a high temp for tomorrow and see what it does?
@viabug FX for good test results!
@wineo929 FX for your O!

WAYDTGKU: Temping, CM, EPO, RRL Tea, OPKs
R/R/CS: I started OPKs today, and it was negative, as expected. But I was surprised to see that I had a faint second line. My OPKs are usually stark white until CD12 or 13 (I usually O between CD16-18). So maybe I'll O early this cycle? Also, my temp has risen by exactly .01 degrees for the last three days. Which is really weird for me to have such consistent temps.
GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating?
My H's adorable/annoying quirk are one in the same: He's the most determined and unwavering person I've ever known. He never lets anything stand in the way of what he wants to accomplish, and will stand up for what he believes in, no matter what. On the other side of that coin, he's incredibly stubborn and arguments with him are impossible.

@safire3, @mrsjqg1024 Yay for affectionate husbands! Mine has no issues with PDA either.
@SandwichLover Glad your dad is home and FX for a speedy recovery!
@babymish, @juliebeannnHave fun tonight ladies!
@sldp123 Your SO and cleaning out the garage made me giggle. Mine is the opposite. We'll be going somewhere for something casual, no big deal and he's all 'we said we'd be there at 7 and it takes a half hour to get there so we should probably leave by 5:30'. Um, no.
@QueenSunscreen I'm sorry that thinking about stretchy headbands kept you awake
@JediAlly85 Sorry about the work situation. That sounds really frustrating that you were overlooked are getting even more work because of it.
@mrsdaddario Glad you broke the dry spell! (Although I don't think I should call it that when it's not your fault). I have trouble with temping too but I figure there's no harm in it and I kind of like the routine.
@kellybean1988 DH as the little spoon is adorable. Mine gets like that sometimes too, where he just wants to be cuddled and I don't mind at all. I feel like I know EXACTLY what you're talking about with the clot-like discharge, but I don't think I've noticed it since TTC. Interested to see if anyone else has insight.
@ladystinson Oh, I GET IT. DH is a computer technician as well and I've heard him walking people through stuff on the phone and I refer to it as his 'sexy phone voice'. It's all deep and soft and calm and for some reason he never uses the voice on me, but he should, because... I like it. A lot.
@wineo929 Handy DH's are awesome! Hope he has a good time with your DS while you're away!
@PepperAT It's great that your DH is so supportive. I'm starting OPK's this cycle too, we'll see how it goes!
@canavara The M'Lady thing is super cute!
@khbear Try and stay strong with the pregnancy complainers! I know how hard it is, when you would kill for the opportunity to complain.
@felix08 My DH is like that too. He's super fiscally responsible with day-to-day stuff (more than I am) but I'm the more practical one with long-term finances. No, we don't HAVE the $15,000 required to completely re-do our basement, no matter how much we talk about it in theory. But on that note - how do you feel about your white trim now? Our 1964 house is all dark wood trim and doors, and it's something we've discussed. Did it make a huge impact on the look of your house?
@sammajane19 Day 3 of Femara here too! The only side effect I've noticed is that even if I'm cold (since it's snowing IN APRIL here) my face is super hot and my cheeks are flushed. I'm only assuming that it's the medication, but I noticed it yesterday afternoon, and it's starting again now.
@kfair001 It's so great that you get a 'good dad' preview with your DH and the nieces and nephews!
@crazypt2285 Try not punch people who tell you 'things happen for a reason'. But if you did, it would be perfectly understandable.
@BecauseLove Kudos for getting DH in the kitchen! Wish I could get mine to do literally anything involving the preparation of food!
@mrsdee15 I'm with your husband on the sneezing. I'm loud and frequent and DH gets so annoyed, AS IF I CAN HELP IT.
@Lecool I think it says a lot when the thing you love about your SO is also the thing that drives you crazy. Unconditional love!

GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating? He turns the vent fan on in the bathroom when he is just brushing his teeth or shaving. And if I am in there and he walks in, he turns it on before he leaves. If I want the damn vent on, I will turn it on. It drives me INSANE.

Something that I thought of with today’s GTKY: my DH knows I’m active on TB and even if he doesn’t like talking about babies 24/7, he almost always asks me “what was today’s GTKY question???” at the end of the day. I think that’s so cute of him—but looks like today I will just be telling him “we shared our favorite things about our DH’s!”…and that’s it. Ha!
@aliciabhen Haha that closet door thing is funny! That would annoy me too. My hubby is a shorts-wearer as well!

@MelissaM090 I laughed out loud at the description of your DH’s aversion to certain types of pasta! Thanks for your response—I told one of my bffs about this discharge (she is not anywhere near TTC) and says she notices it as well, but not every month. I am hoping it’s not a sign that I’m NOT KU, but at least it sounds like I'm not the only one who experiences this.
@babymish Your SO sounds wonderful!
@kirby1220 I am so sorry about CD1. I agree that FR should refund millions of dollars to people.
@sldp123 I’m glad you are feeling better this morning!
@QueenSunscreen Omg, headbands don’t work for me either! I always want to wear them because they’re so cute but they just don’t work on my head. Boo.
@JediAlly85 Yippee! Hopefully I will be following you over to TWW soon. I’m so sorry for the situation at your job. I know that is beyond frustrating—I hope it gets better for you.
@mrsdaddario so glad you and DH got to BD last night! Woohoo! My chart is all over the place too, it is so frustrating. I laughed out loud about your DH asking if you wanted croissants on your salad, ha!
@Sparty18 My DH leaves lights on too—ahhhh!
@mrsjqg1024 Hopefully you get your CH soon!
@ladystinson hahahahaha I really thought you were going to his office for a “meeting” !!!! hahaha.
@Megzb510 My DH hates horror movies too—I have to watch them alone. Way scary.
@viabug We love documentaries too!
@wineo929 OMG my DH thinks I brush my teeth way too hard! I know it drives him batty, lol. And really, he is right--I do brush too hard, lol.
@PepperAT Yay Wednesday! Hope you enjoy your hump day!
@mokay19 Haaa, my DH never puts anything away either. Lol. Thanks again for your input on my weird question!
@canavara this GTKY is making me laugh—picturing your DH bringing you something, kneeling, and saying “M’lady” made me laugh so hard!! That sounds like something my DH would do as well. Love it!
@thj101 I’m so glad your DH likes to travel as much as you. I can’t imagine loving to travel and being with someone who didn’t—that would be tough!
@khbear I’m sorry people you are around are complaining about being preggers. That makes TTC really hard. Hope your day gets better!
@felix08 My DH is constantly “planning” for things that are just never going to happen. He has a “when we win the lottery” list, a “motorcycle” list, a loooong Disney World list (although that is more in the realm of possibility than any other lists he has, lol), a “tiny house” list, a “when we own a sheep farm” list—for real, these are not made up--…it goes on and on. I don’t encourage him to stop because he loves to dream but sometimes it’s frustrating because I know he’s getting his hopes up for things that aren’t reasonable!
@gonetothesea Hopefully AF moves out quickly!
@sammajane19 avoiding carbs is difficult! Good luck, you can do it!
@Steelerfan3878 So glad you’re starting to see positive changes in your fertility signs, woohoo!
@kfair001 I kind of think maybe I O’d yesterday too (oops, just read your reply to me—yep!) Hope we both get to move over to the TWW soon!
@juliebeannn my SO is getting laid tonight too, what what! Aww, that’s really cute about how good he is with your dog. I feel the same about my DH and our dog!
@Dilynne Soft kitty?!!? That is so sweet!!!
@crazypt2285 I’m so sorry about your loss. We are here for you, take care of yourself!
@BecauseLove omg your annoyance at DH for popcorn eating. That would annoy me too!
@l9i I hope your DH gets the job and am glad he is feeling good so far about the interview!
@mrsdee15 love the HIMYM gif!! My DH is also a softie who frequently talks baby talk to our dog and is always watching cute puppy videos online. Lol.
@Lecool Yeah, I wish our DH’s were more comfortable talking about the baby thing, but I get it. It is a nervousness-inducing process, I get it!
@virginiaham Hoping you can jump in this cycle as well!
@HurricaneAmelia oddly enough, my DH likes to have the vent fan on for everything too! Weird.

@mrsdaddario Really hoping it's Sunday because that's when our timing was best!
@kfair001 I'm thinking that's why FF is confused. I was about an hour off with my temps over the weekend. Hopefully (if I get a higher temp again) FF will give me CH tomorrow! FX!
@Lecool I tried messing around with FF and put in high temps for the next 2 days and nothing. The only way it gives me CH is if I change the detector setting to "research" instead of the recommended "advanced". Who knows! Hopefully I'll know more as the week goes on.

GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating? Adorable: he always gets up early on the weekends to let our dogs out and then stays up with the puppy so that I can sleep in. Sometimes I even get breakfast out of it
@QueenSunscreen I have the same problem with headbands!
@JediAlly85 Sorry you're dealing with that at work. That's a total bummer and doesn't make it easier that you share a workspace.

R/R/CS: wow last cycle messed up my mind!! Totally thought it was the month. It hit me hard and I have been super cranky. Just now pulling out of my crabby depression as next week is FW. I am giving a shout out to all of you who are dealing with depression/ anxiety disorders on top of trying to conceive. It's very difficult...keep your heads high!
GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating? Well going along with my depression and it hitting me hard that we didn't get pregnant last month, my husband has been absolutely amazing. It literally makes me jaw drop when I am so crabby and he looks at me and says "what can I do for you?" He knows I'm struggling off my anxiety meds and he is so sweet. Hehe.
Annoying habits? I'm type A and do things quick and asap. He is not lol he moves slow and has a whatever attitude and it drives me nuts lol
@juliebeannn Jealous of your EWCM lol. That sounded weird but I don’t know where mine is…
@Dilynne FX that CD 1 is sooner rather than later!
@crazypt2285 Sorry for your loss.
@BecauseLove FX that AF gets out soon!
@kellybean1988 I had something very similar to that 2 cycles ago. It was like a day or two after O. It obviously ended up being nothing but it was really weird. It was the same consistency that you described.
@I9i Yay. I so hope that he does well and gets the job! Also, FX that you O soon!
@mrsdee OMG that puppy!!!!!! I want!
@Lecool hmmm. O early would be nice! GL!
@virginiaham FX that you can jump in this cycle in the next few weeks!
@HurricaneAmelia Yay for lots of water and working out! Me too. That’s been my focus this cycle. I’m feeling so much better doing that!

TTC #1 SINCE: OCT/NOV 2015
Ok, so I've used the search function and there was only one really old thread that didn't explain it in ways that seemed clear to me. I didn't want to make a zombie thread or a thread dedicated to just this, so I'm asking here.
How have you all been determining your Month/Cycle?
For instance, I've been TTC since February 17th which was CD1. I have somewhat long cycles, around 30-35 days, and this is my second cycle, therefore the "Cycle" part would be 2.
However, because I've been TTC February, March, and now it's April, would I be considered 3/2 or 2/2?
Month/Cycle: 3/2? 2/2?
CD: 17
WAYDTGKU: Temping, trying OPKs, about to be HIO because DH's days off are here! Right in time for O!
R/R/CS: Please see above?
GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating?
For the quirk that's adorable, it's the fact that he kisses all of our dogs and acts like their our kids and they're all his SS. Also the fact that he doesn't shy away from calling sex "babymaking" and really wants kids.
For the annoying quirk, it's the fact that he'll work himself to death doing overtime because he feels like we need more financial security, and therefore I'm doing all the chores myself because he's too exhausted.

I think a lot of people do it differently, either they don't count certain cycles where they were TTA or had bad timing, etc. I think you should do whatever you feel is accurate for you.

WAYDTGKU: should be last day of AF, going to HIO all week!
R/R/CS: Got the green light from my GP yesterday to keep trying (I have a non-ttc related medical issue and I was worried I would be benched but I'm good to go). DH has finally agreed to avoid the sauna for at least my FW...so his little guys aren't going to boil this cycle! I'm ready to start baby making! On a side note, I got into an intensive 1-year training program for my organization - they only pick one leader each year to participate - so I have one more non-ttc related to distract me in the coming months! I'm excited! It lines up nicely with the end of my MBA which will also be completed this year (finally).
GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating? It's not so much a quirk but my DH is very funny and is always trying to make me laugh. He is good hearted and fun to be around. He always lightens the mood in any situation. What drives me crazy is that he has a couple really annoying habits like leaving the microwave door open and he can't put the cap on the toothpaste EVER! After living together for over 10 years I guess I should be used to it but I'm not.

@PaukMeKiande I guess I've tracked my similarly, but also a little different I have mine as 6/3 but also include that I'm TTCAL. All in all, I've been TTC for 6 months but I'm on my 3rd cycle since the loss. I guess I could have started over with my months, but I thought I'd keep it at 6 since that's still when I began my TTC journey. For me it makes sense.

OK, last responses of the day! Busy night tonight. Sorry friends, I feel like I have posted a gazillion times today--I’m blowing up the group wall! I hope you all have a great rest of your Wednesday. Halfway through the week!
@kaityh1 You’re doing great! Work is slow for me too this week, and I HATE that. Hoping it picks up for you quickly!
@1017Shannon I’m sorry to hear that you were so disappointed this month. Thinking of you—take care of yourself!
@kfair001 Weird! I have no idea what that’s about. I tried googling but can’t find ANYTHING about it. It makes me worried that I’m def not KU this cycle, since I’ve had this type of discharge (or whatever it is) each cycle that HASN’T ended in a pregnancy. Ugh. Maybe it has nothing to do with anything, I think I'm just looking into it too much.
@PaukMeKiande lol that gif is awesome!
@houseofsetters Sorry, I don’t know much about acupuncture. Hope you’re able to get some answers from the other lovely ladies in this group!
@kiwielopingbride So glad you got the green light from GP to keep trying. Very exciting stuff, including the stuff about your training program!

R/R/CS: Well, it's day 20 so I'm just waiting for day 30 so I can talk to my gyno about trying again. I knew this wasn't going to be the cycle for me so it's not as heart breaking as it is frustrating. I know it's still possible that I could O in the next few days, so my fingers are still crossed. UGH I need someone to vent to.
GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating?
His grin. OMG it's the best thing in the world. When he has done something and he is laughing about it, oh my gosh it melts my heart!
He has to wash EVERYTHING he uses. It doesn't matter if I wash dishes by hand, or use the dishwasher. He has to rinse it first. Even if I JUST washed it. I'm learning to not get so irritated but it does bug the crap out of me!

WAYDTGKU: quitting TTC for now
R/R/CS: I think DH is right. We're going to bench ourselves and go at least triple the time our doctor recommended without ttc. Sucks a lot. I'm having a hard time with it. I'll miss participating in these daily threads for that time period but I think I'm going to stop temping too. I have lots of months of data to look at since I started in July 2015, I think I need to take this month off.
GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating?
Adorable- he needs me to approve all of his clothes shopping purchases. Even when I was across the country with my sister a few weeks ago I was getting picture texts of him shopping for blazers.
Irritating- he pumps his leg up and down sometimes, super annoying if we're out at dinner and it's moving the table
Dx: Both tubes blocked, PCOS, DOR, RPL
IVF Cycle #1 Dec. 2016 - 11R·11M·5F - Transferred 2 - BFP - Miscarriage - 0 Embryos Left
On a separate note - my SO is a leg fidgeter too, he does it ALL THE TIME, and apparently people that fidget a lot burn a lot more calories per day than none fidgeters, which would explain why SO can eat whatever he likes and not put on a pound.

R/R/CS: Not much. Work has been busy, so that's been a nice distraction. I've had a crazy busy week in general and it doesn't slow down until Saturday. Then Sunday I'm headed out of town for a Giants game! That is what's keeping me going. Yay for baseball!!!
GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating? DH has to be moving All. The. Time. It's really annoying. He even moves in his sleep! There are times I can get over it, but most of the time it drives me absolutely nuts. His super adorable quirk is the face he makes when he does something that he would have gotten after me for. This has only started being adorable recently. Like, if I accidently run over the curb, I get a 10 minute lecture about how bad it is for the truck and blah blah blah. But when he does it, oh oops no big deal! Finally I called him out on it and he just made this "I know I'm in trouble, don't yell at me like I do to you" face and it cracked me up the first time. Now we both make that face when we do something like that.

And as far as the shorts go I usually think he's crazy too because I'm freezing and he's strutting along with his legs out in the open, but I'll never complain because he's got some nice muscular calves ; )
