GTKY: What is one weird quirk you have?

jatwal128

Happy almost Friday!

Month/Cycle: 2/2 TTCAL

CD: 12

WAYDTGKU: PNV, tracking cm, temping. haven't started HIO yet, which we need to. Our days have been so busy we've both been too exhausted. Hopefully that changes tonight!

R/R/CS: This cm tracking thing is so frustrating. I feel like i'm all over the place with every type of cm EXCEPT for the fertile kind. I felt like this last cycle too. *TW* When i actually got pregnant the first time with my MC, i distinctly remember seeing very clear EWCM. Since then, none of that has been spotted. I'm sure my body is still getting itself situated, but i'm sitting here like ok, anytime now would be great. Blah. I guess I'll keep waiting and see what sort of shift i do get and how it coincides with my temps. Hopefully i ovulate at all. Also DH needs to calm down his schedule a bit so we can actually HIO a couple times here soon.

GTKY: What is one weird quirk you have? haha a lot. I always think i'm a very strange person and all my quirks i just feel like are my normal. But if i had to pick one, i'd say that I am constantly talking to my dog. In public and everything. Anyone seeing me walking my dog will see me basically talking to myself the whole time. Owell!

Good Morning!

Month/Cycle: 8/8

CD: 12

WAYDTGKU: same things we've been doing

R/R/CS: I started a new 90 day workout challenge yesterday and I can barely walk today.  Yesterday was only the fit test.  Also, a new Trader Joes just opened up in my area today so I'm going to go check it out this morning.  I'm way more excited about this than I should be.

GTKY: What is one weird quirk you have?  I'm a total type A personality.  Things need to be in order for me to be sane.  I make a to do list every morning when I wake up.  I swear its from my years as an ICU nurse.

Month/Cycle: 6/5

CD: 8

WAYDTGKU: SEEEEEEX finally! See below   Acupuncture, once, green tea, healthy eating and anything else that might help!

R/R/CS: great talk with H.  He started conversation and doesnt think Viagra is the answer.  YAY.  We made progress....i just had to be patient!  
Anyway contiuing with the raves.  It's acupuncture day and I love it! Long weekend ahead and we are having sex again, did I mention that?

GTKY: What is one weird quirk you have?
Hmmm I love to clean. I feel so much more focused after cleaning.  If I'm stressed, i clean.  I need order to function.  

mrsdaddario

Edited because I took too long to really "start" lol.

Month/Cycle: 8/5

CD: 27

WAYDTGKU: PNV, Vitamin D, U/S Friday for follicle scan after 7.5mg Letrozole

R/R/CS: Today cannot go by fast enough! I just want to get to the RE's tomorrow morning and see if there's been any growth on my stubborn follicles. I've been feeling slightly crampy this week, but unlike last time I had them, I haven't gotten my hopes up. Last week I thought the cramps meant my follicles were maturing, now I know it was just because their bulging with immature follicles. 

GTKY:  I'm sure I have a ton of weird quirks lol. Breaking out in song A LOT when I'm alone. I always refer to DH as a different food. Like.....you're such a rigatoni! Idk why lol. I'm just weird.  

BigBadWolf12

*question in CS*

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD: 16

WAYDTGKU: temping (first cycle doing so, hence my question below!), sex!

R/R/CS: How do you know what your coverline is? or is that something you can only see in hindsight (after O or after the cycle is done?) too? I had a temp dip on CD 14 and it's been rising since then - this morning was the first time it's been [slightly] higher than the previous 6+ days (I think I read something about that recently). If it stays this high or higher for 3 days in a row, does that tell me I've likely ovulated? Do I just have to wait for FF to give me the red lines?
I thought maybe it meant possible O yesterday since it was higher today than the other days and was going to see if it stayed high to confirm, but then I had EWCM still today which makes me think maybe I haven't quite O-d?
I'm a little embarrassed to be asking this question so late in the game....I feel like it's super basic and I should definitely know the answer already by this point, but I only just started charting (stupid me for waiting to buy a BBT)
The plan is to continue HIO anyways (took a break yesterday for one day for a couple reasons, but we'll be back at it today for a little while..I'm just hoping that wasn't the worst day to take a break!)

note: CD 12 I missed my alarm

GTKY: What is one weird quirk you have? I have no quirks, I'm perfect! Just kidding...I think I have lots. I can't stand still while talking on the phone OR waiting for a bus - I walk laps around whatever is available. I'm also really unobservant when it comes to random daily things...DH just rolls his eyes in disbelief when I'm like, "oh, there's construction in our way!" and he's like, "we walked past this yesterday....it's not new at all" haha. My excuse is that I'm a teacher, so I always have to be observant through the day - there is no "break"/"off time", so when I'm not at school, I'm just zoned out of life haha

edit: typo

jatwal128

@Buthayna don't feel silly for asking that question at all! I just started temping too and am curious what kind of answers you get. I THINK the coverline is created after O, once there is a distinct spike. But i could be totally wrong.

MonaLisaRalphio

Month/Cycle: 7/6

CD: 15

WAYDTGKU: PNV, BBT, OPK, EOD

R/R/CS: I just do not seem to be having much CM this month.  It's annoying.

GTKY: What is one weird quirk you have? I like to say that I collect words.  I really enjoy expanding my vocabulary.  #dweeb

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 4

WAYDTGKU: Temping/CP/CM/OPK

R/R/CS: Eh...just tired. I'm ready to go home, but dreading the flights. Full day in the office today, then a half day tomorrow and I'm out. Telling myself this on repeat:



GTKY: What is one weird quirk you have? Not really weird, but I have to be early for everything or it drives me absolutely crazy. And I'm totally OCD about how the dishwasher is loaded. On the off chance that DH actually does the dishes, I wait til he's out of the room to rearrange the dishwasher because it makes me nuts.

daisy62103

Month/Cycle: 10/11

CD: 7

WAYDTGKU: bbt, opks, clomid, iui

R/R/CS: My mil had a stroke recently and also has cancer. Things aren't looking great and we live 4 hrs away. Hoping things improve and it isn't her time yet.....but worried. 

GTKY: What is one weird quirk you have? I have a couple I can think of off the top of my head. I've never liked my different foods touching each other on my plate. And I am very specific where dishes go on which shelves. DH's coffee cups/water bottles go on the top shelf and it annoys me when he puts them on the bottom shelf where the smaller glasses go.

kfair001

Hopefully back later for comments. 

Month/Cycle: 8/8 (2 cycles NTNP, 1 cycle anovulatory, 4 cycles with good timing)

CD: 6

WAYDTGKTFU: Mehhhh. Waiting for FW.  

R/R/CS:  So tired today!  Enough said.

GTKY: What is one weird quirk you have?  Haha only one?  Hmm.  I have this thing where if I’m in a new place and they have tiles on the ceiling, I need to know how many there are.  Don’t know why but I’m always counting the ceiling tiles.  There are a number of other weird ones that I can’t think of.  This would be a good question for DH to answer. Lol   

daisy62103

@leekat14 I wish I had your quirk! I hate to clean!

@Buthayna Yes, 3 high temps will then show ovulation and give you your crosshairs. If you have two more high temps then i'd say you o'd on cd 15.

Dilynne

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 14

WAYDTGKU: Anything I can think of. 

R/R/CS: Question: I think I read somewhere that some people never turn an OPK. Is that true? Any OPKs I've tried have always been stark white.  Any thoughts?

GTKY: What is one weird quirk you have? I compulsively make lists. Grocery lists, to do lists, packing lists - you name it, I've got a list for it. 

beary67

@mrsdaddario I'm keeping positive thoughts for you and your scan tomorrow!!  I hope there has been lots of progress with your follicles since your last scan! 

Month/Cycle:  8/8

CD:  5

WAYDTGKU:  Metformin, Letrozole + Ovidrel + IUI

R/R/CS:  I'm feeling crampy I think from the Letrozole, so hopefully that means it's doing it's job!  DH and I are going out of town starting tonight and I could not be more excited to get away!!  We have a wedding on Sunday and Ben from the Bachelor was invited (he is friends with the groom).  I'm not sure if he is going, but I really hope he will be there! 

GTKY: I can't leave work unless I have zero emails in my inbox.  

EALasagna45

@mrsdaddario I hope today goes by fast for you and that you have a positive scan tomorrow! Good vibes being sent your way. 

@Daisy621 I'm so sorry to hear about your MIL. I hope things improve for her.

*question in R/R/CS* 

Month/Cycle: 7/5 TTCAL 

CD: 7

WAYDTGKU: PNV's, Metformin, Healthy Eating, HIO soon 

R/R/CS: DH had his SA today so I'm hoping for good results. FX! I also posted yesterday about one of my tubes being blocked and the possibility of needing a hysteroscopy to unblock it. I'm curious if anybody has already had this done. What was the recovery process like? The nurse made it sound like it was NBD but I'm a big baby and am so scared to go under. However, if I have to do it, I have to do it. 

GTKY: What is one weird quirk you have?
I don't know if I can pick just one. I'm like @clover28 and am definitely Type A. Making lists and crossing things off when they're completed is so therapeutic. I also have to have the TV volume on an even number. 

CoonMom

Month/Cycle: 16 Total/6 TTCAL

CD: 15

WAYDTGKU: Sex...if our AC gets fixed today.

R/R/CS: Rant: our AC is broke and it's 80+in the house and our lawn mower is having issues (a screw came out so the handle doesn't turn the mower; and the batteries keep dying; it's only a year old:( ) I only got half the lawn done yesterday and it's going to rain the next few days. Guess our lawn is going to look stupid for awhile:(

Rave: DH got his SA results. From how I interrupt they look good. He is suppose to call the dr for clarification today.  

GTKY: What is one weird quirk you have? I talk to my dogs a lot.

SnobunnieMel

@Buthayna FF will create your cover line once you get 3 days of come nfirmed temp rise so just hold out for a few more days!

Month/Cycle: 6/2 TTCAL 

CD: 11

WAYDTGKU:BBT, PNV, ovaboost, myo inositol, fertilaid, fertilecm, acupuncture, black cohosh cd5-15, CP, CM, HIO ED, OPK, preseed


R/R/CS: I think the black cohosh I am taking is giving me massive hormone headache and mood swings. It's so much fun when i have to deal with stupid people all day 

GTKY: What is one weird quirk you have? I get the hiccups. Like all the time. And it sounds like I swallowed a squeaky toy as a child. 

SandwichLover

Month/Cycle: 6

CD: 5

WAYDTGKU: u guys know the drill.

R/R/CS: I remembered to begin temping this morning, so there's that!

GTKY: What is one weird quirk you have?

Hmm, I guess that I have to check multiple times if something is turned off before I leave the house. Like the iron, stove, whatever. Then I second guess it when I finally do leave. It's really annoying.

@jatwal128 Haha, I'm a pet talker too. I swear my dog understands me
@clover28 what workout are you doing?
@leekat14 Glad you had a good talk with H!
@mrsdaddario FX for your follicles maturing!
@Buthayna The coverline comes when O is identified (after 3 days). I hate that 3 day wait to see if FF will identify my O!
@MonaLisaRalphio Hope your CM shows itself soon.
@Krys Hope the next few days go by quickly!
@Daisy621 So sorry to hear baout your MIL. Sending hugs.
@kfair001 I'm in that MEH time before FW as well! I find this part so boring.
@Dilynne Good question in your RRCS as I'm planning to start OPKs for the first time this cycle and will be interested to see the rsponses.
@beary67 Enjoy your weekend away!
@EALasagna45 FX for good results for the SA! I know a number of ladies here have had HSG so you should get some good info.

KirstinH88

Month/Cycle: 7 total, 3 after MC

CD: 3

WAYDTGKU: Temping. 

R/R/CS: Yay! It's almost Friday! And a 3 day weekend! Today should be the last day of AF, she always stays around for 3 days, but it seems like she cut out early. I'll have to keep and eye out for her today. 

GTKY: What is one weird quirk you have?
@EALasagna45 I am just like you! I have what I call mild OCD. Everything has an order and a spot. I make lists and keep calendars, otherwise life is just too consuming. The TV or car radio volume has to be set to certain numbers (not necessarily odd or even, just certain "good" numbers). Color crayons, pencils, or markers have to be set back in the box in rainbow order. 

ETA: AF is crazy sometimes. I knew she wasn't done with her visit. She must have just needed a break from me. SHEEEEE'S BAAAACK!!

britters314

@Buthayna  If you are going just by temps, you need 3 higher than the previous 6. FF takes other signs into account, though, so with still having EWCM, that could affect when you get CH if your temp continues to rise (or you might just get dashed CH). The coverline shows up when O is confirmed and it *should* be 0.1 above your highest of the previous 6 temps, though FF doesn't always do it that way.

@Krys  I'm the same way with the dishwasher! We have a roommate and he is awful at loading the dishwasher and I always had to completely redo it if he loaded it, so I had to change our chore chart so he never gets that chore lol

Month/Cycle: 9/10

CD: 13 (I think I put 13 yesterday, but today is actually CD 13)

WAYDTGKU: CM, CP, sex

R/R/CS: I think I may have O'd yesterday because I haven't seen any fertile CM yet today, but the day is young and that would be the earliest I have O'd. Hopefully I can move over to TWW soon.

GTKY: What is one weird quirk you have?
I can't really think of anything, though I'm sure I have them. I'll come back later to edit if I come up with something.

WAYDTGKU: Just sex sometimes for funsies. 

R/R/CS:  It's my birthday! I'm 31... I swear I wasn't 30 for a whole year yet.  

GTKY: What is one weird quirk you have? Just one?  Sometimes when I listen to music I imagine dances to them.  I guess that comes from growing up doing dance. 

SandwichLover

@mrsdee15 happy birthday!!!

NamelessAria

@mrsdee15 your new picture of your little dog is so freaking cute. He/she reminds me of an ewok.

KirstinH88

@mrsdee15 Happy birthday! Hope you have a great day! Never too late to start turning back the clocks! Each year, get one year younger!

housewifehobbyist

@clover28 Trader Joe's is amazing, I go out of my way to go every week.

@mrsdee15 Happy Birthday!

Month/Cycle: 10/3TTCAL

CD: 4

WAYDTGKU: All of it, getting a SA done this month as well

R/R/CS: I'm officially in frustrated, this-is-probably-more-than-bad-luck territory, so I'm starting to look into what testing I can have done 

GTKY: I over plan the crap out of everything.  

BigBadWolf12

@mrsdaddario FX for good follicle growth! AND I love this GTKY...I'm reading through everyone's being like, "me too!" haha
@kfair001 I'm the same with counting! ceiling tiles, window panes, and stairs mostly for me!
@mrsdee15 Happy Birthday!!

@jatwal128 thanks for not judging - if you're interested and haven't seen them already, you can search the usernames below to see their super helpful responses:)
@daisy621 thanks! I was hoping not for O day on the day we skipped, but I've heard -1 is more important on average anyways....we'll see! Also I used to be the same with food on my plate! Lastly, so sorry to hear about your MIL Hopefully she can kick the cancer and recover from the stroke - those are two major things and I hope everyone in your extended family is pulling through it together
@Snobunniemel (omg, that gif!) & @SandwichLover thanks for the FF info if only we could be certain before it happened...boo for waiting!
@Britters314 thanks for the detail about the coverline/temp relationship
...now I'm REALLY wishing we didn't skip yesterday blah.

mrsdee15

  Thank you all for the birthday love!

@NamelessAria Thank you!  He is pretty cute, though DH thinks he looks more like this Star Wars specimen:


ETA I think he looks like an Ewok and a mogwai had a baby. 

Sugargirl1019

@Buthayna Yes, 3 high temps will then show ovulation and give you your crosshairs. If you have two more high temps then i'd say you o'd on cd 15.

I agree with this.

MrsWifey89

 I was also curious about the cover line so thanks for asking! @buthayna

Happy Birthday @MrsDee15 !

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD: 12

WAYDTGKU: BBT, RRL, PNV, OPK, Green Tea

R/R/CS: I haven't turned a positive OPK yet... this is good. Still holding out and hoping that it won't happen until Tuesday when DH is home. It's my birthday on Monday and I think my body owes me the bday gift of ovulating when DH is home. That's not too much to ask for is it?

Also, I caved and bought the VIP version of FF last night. It was on sale so I couldn't resist. There's so many cool features to learn/ explore.  

GTKY: What is one weird quirk you have? I don't like stuff on stuff.... it gives me serious anxiety. I can not handle clutter!

CD: 18

WAYDTGKU: the usual, except not temping 

R/R/CS: Heading home from vacation today. It's a little sad, but we had tons of fun and I'm ready to sleep in my own bed tonight. 

GTKY: Ooh, this will make me sound so strange, but I sometimes make words plural that shouldn't be, and vice versa, almost in a baby-talk kind of way. Only with H, though, NEVER in a professional or social setting. I have no idea when I started this or why. Lol. 

whiska

Month/Cycle: 14/14

CD: 11

WAYDTGKU:  bbt, pnvs, opks, limbering up to get ready for that window


R/R/CS: Nothing today.  Keeping everyone having a hard time in my thoughts.  I've been trying to lovetit for support!

GTKY: What is one weird quirk you have?
When I eat Kit-Kats and Tagalongs I nibble away all the chocolate on the outside first.  I've done it my whole life and now it feels weird eating them the normal way.  

ETA Happy Birthday @mrsdee15 !!!  I felt the same way haha.  Hope you have a wonderful day!!

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD: 19

WAYDTGKU: Temping and CM-tracking/ Charting

R/R/CS: I just keep being amazed about how much I don't know about my own body. I've learned so much over the last month or so! I also think that last month may have been the first month I O-ed since coming off of BC and that my cycles are longer than I thought they were going to be.

GTKY: What is one weird quirk you have? I have a bunch! One is that I can't stand talking on the phone to people. I wish I could have a cell phone that could do all the things except accept phone calls! I'd rather text or email anything over talking to someone on the phone.

varimama

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 9

WAYDTGKU: PNV, BBT (failed again today though...), sex

R/R/CS: I'm the only one from my group in at work today and tomorrow (usually there is 4 of us). Should be interesting... 

GTKY: What is one weird quirk you have? It's hard to just pick 1... I seem to have similar ones as PP but one thing that is pretty quirky is that when I fall asleep I don't drop what I'm holding. So DH will come in the bedroom when I go to bed first and find me asleep but still holding my kindle as if I'm reading it. 


@jatwal128 I think it's awesome you talk to your dog that much, if I saw you on the street doing that I'd be like wow that's a good dog owner! I talk to my hamsters pretty much nonstop when I hold and play with them or when I'm just in the same room. I also sing to them and despite my awful voice it seems to calm them down...

@clover28 Good luck on your new workout! Sounds intense!

@leekat14 I wish I loved to clean... Sometimes I clean when I'm mad at DH but he's kind of right in that I choose that moment because I know it will make him mad that I'm choosing to clean over fighting but sometimes I just need an excuse to get in a different room and calm down.

@mrsdaddario FX that today goes quickly for you and you see follicle growth!

@Buthayna I get the not standing still I have to walk around while brushing my teeth and DH gets so frustrated b/c I can't just sit still and cuddle I twitch and move and he's always like just be still, it's hard for me!

@MonaLisaRalphio FX for CM, I wish I had a better vocabulary, despite me reading way more than DH his will probably always be better!

@Krys I always have to rearrange the dishwasher after DH too! It's not like I have a crazy system idk he just doesn't get it! Hope today and tomorrow go by quickly for you!

@Daisy621 Hoping things go better for you MIL soon, I'm so sorry I'm sure it must be rough on you guys.

@beary67 have fun on your getaway!!

@EALasagna45 FX for good results and that if you do need the hysteroscopy it goes well and isn't too bad.

@CoonMom Hope your AC gets fixed soon!!


I tried to get a bunch in, hopefully I can come back later and add more!

Maggie1202

@whiska ME TOO!!! That makes me so happy to know that I'm not the only one!
@mrsdee15 Happy birthday!

Month/Cycle: 9/9

CD: 13

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, PNVs, BD EOD

R/R/CS: I'm using OPKs exclusively this cycle. No temping. I have never turned an OPK but I've also timed using them really poorly, so here's hoping! 

Also, two more days until a three day weekend! Totally raving about that! 

GTKY: What is one weird quirk you have? I was going to use the same thing that @whiska said. The way that I eat a lot of foods is very strange. DH pokes fun at me constantly. I also eat all the caramel off a Twix bar before I eat the cookie part. 

jatwal128

@mrsdee15 Happy happy birthday!! I'm almost at the 30 and 1/2 mark, and it's going too fast...

@marriedhamstermom thanks! and i definitely think animals respond to the sound of our voice, so i'm sure your hamsters enjoy it too!

@clover28 good luck on your workout challenge! 90 days is a long enough time to definitely see some results, which is the best part!

@mrsdaddario Still have my FX for you that tomorrow goes well!

@coonmom so sorry about your A/C! I live in Florida and can't imagine having to deal with that right now.

daisy62103

@mrsdee15 Happy 31st! Hope you have a great day!

WAYDTGKU: Taking a break from the usual stuff, just PNVs, Met, and sex.

R/R/CS: Was feeling good today, then I saw yet another pregnancy announcement on FB. I think I know like 15 people pregnant in 2016 now. Where is this water they are drinking and how do i get some?!? 

GTKY: What is one weird quirk you have?
I'm kind of weird about how I eat food. Like take a cheeseburger for instance. I will eat around it in a circle and then eat the middle. And I dont like my food to touch on the plate but I have no issue combing it for a bite. Like taking peas and then potatos and eating that together. But before hand it cant touch. 

BigBadWolf12

@JediAlly85 yes about eating around things and saving the middle for last! pizza and cake I also eat from the outside/crust inward

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: 4

WAYDTGKU: Not much yet. Stopped BCP on CD1, right now is just waiting until AF is over. I know some people say that you should wait a cycle, but we're not doing much this cycle other than HIO, so why not?

R/R/CS: Assuming FF is correct (not temping yet, but been tracking cycles which is stupidly useless on the pill), my estimated fertility window lines up with my BILs wedding. Weddings always make me randy, so that's awesome. One thing that has surprised me is how much my libido must have been suppressed on the pill. The last couple of days have been interesting...

GTKY: What is one weird quirk you have?  I have a thing for playing with numbers. For example, right now my computer says that its 12:24, which makes me ridiculously happy because 12 is half of 24. Also the first and last digit add to 5 and the two middle digits add to 4 (which = the last digit = happy). The first two digits add to 3. So I can get 1,2,3,4,5 out of the numbers. I'll keep at this all day. I do it when I'm bored.

WAYDTGKU: Sex

R/R/CS: My toddler co sleeps with us and I can't figure out how to get my thermometer without sitting up in bed and leaning over him. I'm not sure the 3 second sit up will make a huge difference though. Anybody know?

GTKY: What is one weird quirk you have? I have to tap the dash board if someone has a head light out while driving. When I was in high school someone told me it was bad luck if you didn't tap the dash board. DH use to be annoyed by it, but it's pretty normal now.

Maggie1202

@clover28 What 90 day workout program are you doing? I just started one myself!
