GTKY: if you were given a superlative in high school, or if you could go back and give yourself one, what would it be and why?

Cycle/Month: 15/13

chart stalks/questions/thoughts: None
GTKY: if you were given a superlative in high school, or if you could go back and give yourself one, what would it be and why? I don't know, but I was pretty quiet and studious in high school.

CD: 4
What are you doing this month? temping, prenatals, preseed, checking cm
chart stalks/questions/thoughts: I already asked a temping question in another post. My only thought is that I will have a 2yo on Saturday!
GTKY: if you were given a superlative in high school, or if you could go back and give yourself one, what would it be and why? Oh geez, maybe most likely to get along with anyone. I had friends with all personalities and/or groups.
Cycle/Month: 5/8
CD: 2
What are you doing this month? im going to be extra diligent with OPKs
chart stalks/questions/thoughts: not right now
we were class couple and now we're married
i should have used it as our save the date, butttttt i didn't
Cycle/Month: 9
CD: 2...womp-womp
What are you doing this month? temping after AF, OPK, water, EPO until O
chart stalks/questions/thoughts: Nothing
GTKY: if you were given a superlative in high school, or if you could go back and give yourself one, what would it be and why? I could have been something like easiest to get along with.. I'm pretty laid back and had a wide cast of friends.
CD: 18
What are you doing this month? Temp/charting, POM, PNV, checking CM
chart stalks/questions/thoughts: first month charting and it's driving me nuts! I feel like my chart is all over the place. I thought for sure I had o'd over the last few days, but still no clear shift. I have noticed that I've been mouth breathing the past few mornings so now I am wondering if that has affected my temps.
GTKY: if you were given a superlative in high school, or if you could go back and give yourself one, what would it be and why? I was "Most Enthusiastic", mostly because I was always loud and happy.
Happy Thursday ladies! Almost to the weekend!
Cycle/Month: 2/1
CD:1
What are you doing this month? I've started to focus more on myself and my health. I don't want to spend too much energy thinking about TTC. Especially if it doesn't happen right away. Going to purchase preseed and possibly some OPKs
chart stalks/questions/thoughts:
I hate AF. CD 1 is the worse for me.
GTKY: if you were given a superlative in high school, or if you could go back and give yourself one, what would it be and why?
CD: 12
What are you doing this month? Thinking about buying VIP FF... I've been using the reg version, and the VIP has so many neato features! The only thing holding me back is if I buy it and get KTFU this cycle I'd feel like a dummy.
chart stalks/questions/thoughts: Nope, pretty standard chart for me so far.
GTKY: if you were given a superlative in high school, or if you could go back and give yourself one, what would it be and why?
Most likely to marry a musician. Back then I had a different hair color every week, made my own clothes, and was (still am) very into music. My look has changed, but I'm still that girl underneath it all
I'm right there with you. This was our first cycle and while I wasn't expecting it to happen so quickly. You can't hoping that it is. With my cycle being pretty consistent at starting at the end of the month it naturally spills into the next month. So it feels like I get two periods a month.
CD: 14
What are you doing this month? pre-natal vitamin, DHA, temping, considering OPK
chart stalks/questions/thoughts: Wondering about OPKs... I almost wonder if it will cause me to stress more...
GTKY: if you were given a superlative in high school, or if you could go back and give yourself one, what would it be and why? I blended into the background pretty well, so I guess a title for blending in? Meh.
Cycle/Month: 9/10
CD: 8
What are you doing this month? Opks, temping, charting
chart stalks/questions/thoughts: frustrated with DH right now
GTKY: if you were given a superlative in high school, or if you could go back and give yourself one, what would it be and why? I don't know, I had a variety of friends in different groups. Maybe easy going or easy to get along with. I was always trying to be friends with everyone I guess
DD 12.2010
CD: 3
What are you doing this month? HIO, temps, OPKs, tracking CM, preseed
chart stalks/questions/thoughts: Ready for AF to move on and to get on with this cycle.
GTKY: if you were given a superlative in high school, or if you could go back and give yourself one, what would it be and why? I was "most likely to succeed." I hated it though. I dont like being the center of attention and I felt like that put a lot of pressure on me!
Me: 33 DH: 33
Married: 6.9.12
DS born: 4.9.14
DD born 7.27.17
Cycle/Month: 2
CD: 1...blah!
What are you doing this month? Nothing. I'm out of town for the next 2 1/2 weeks and in all likelihood I'll O before I get home to DH so this month is out. I will continue to temp though, just to be sure.
Chart stalks/questions/thoughts: I can't help feeling bummed about this being CD1 even though I know it's normal. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and I like succeeding at things, and this feels like a failure (even though I KNOW it's not). And August is so far away for my next shot.
GTKY: If you were given a superlative in high school, or if you could go back and give yourself one, what would it be and why? I was "best musician" and "biggest mooch" haha!
EDD #2 5.4.17
Cycle/Month: Cycle 6 TTC for first 2, currently tta or ntnp in my husbands eyes.
CD: 24
What are you doing this month? Temping, cp, cm. multivitamin
chart stalks/questions/thoughts:
I had my yearly visit with my gyno and she told me that temping was inaccurate and would just stress me out. I do have depression and anxiety so maybe she thought it was not going to help me because of that. She did go on to say that if my charts were correct though my LP was possibly an issue we'd need to look into. FF says I average a 9 day LP with a range of 5 to 12. Ovulate between cd17 and cd27 with the average being cd22. Cycle length is 27 to 33 days...
GTKY: if you were given a superlative in high school, or if you could go back and give yourself one, what would it be and why?
I was voted quietest. My male counterpart was so quiet he didn't show up for the pictures...
Cycle/Month: 2/2
CD: 5
What are you doing this month? Charting temps, OPKs, PNVs... the usual.
chart stalks/questions/thoughts: I had some horrific cramps this morning that reminded me of why I liked BC and used to miss school when my period came around. These things were so bad that it woke me up at 6...
GTKY: if you were given a superlative in high school, or if you could go back and give yourself one, what would it be and why?
I was voted "life of the party" which was kind of funny because I rarely partied with people from my school. I was kinda crazy and had way too much fun back then so I think it fit at the time. Heck, I think it still fits, I just don't need as much alcohol now.
Cycle/Month: 1/1
CD: 32
What are you doing this month? Not NOT trying! Sadly still waiting on AF post BCP.
chart stalks/questions/thoughts: I LOVE sex off BCP. After we get our two lovelies- DH is gonna get snipped so I can still feel the urge. haha (TMI?) I am also considering getting some OPKs so I know when I O and therefore know when to finally expect my stupid wandering AF.
GTKY: if you were given a superlative in high school, or if you could go back and give yourself one, what would it be and why? .... I was voted most likely to fall down the stairs. Fun right? NOT!
Cycle/Month: TTA for now
CD: 12
What are you doing this month? TTA for the next few cycles but this will be my first cycle temping/charting to see when I ovulate. Temps are still low for now.
chart stalks/questions/thoughts: I worry that I don't produce enough fertile CM. The past 2 cycles when I was trying, I only had a small amount of watery CM at best. I never used to pay much attention to CM before that, but have noticed EWCM at least once before, just not recently. At the moment I'm planning on trying Preseed as a lube for the next time I'm TTC. (also been trying to drink a cup of green tea a day to see if that does anything for me)
GTKY: if you were given a superlative in high school, or if you could go back and give yourself one, what would it be and why?
I think I was given something really nerdy, like "biggest brain" or something like that. Yeah, I was a smarty-pants
Cycle/Month: 20/19
CD: 7
What are you doing this month? Temping, charting, opks
chart stalks/questions/thoughts: Nope
GTKY: if you were given a superlative in high school, or if you could go back and give yourself one, what would it be and why? We didn't have those in our yearbooks, but one of my teachers did give an end-of-year speech talking about some students' qualities and mine was "quiet grace". So I'd probably have been voted quietest or shyest.
CD: 9
What are you doing this month? The usual. Only 6 days till the RE appointment!
chart stalks/questions/thoughts: Nada.
GTKY: if you were given a superlative in high school, or if you could go back and give yourself one, what would it be and why? Most Likely to Succeed. Just found out that the only other girl from my graduating class who doesn't have kids is pregnant now, so if I could go back, I guess I'd change it to, "Most Likely to Show Up at the 15 Year Reunion Childless"
April 2013: Femara + Trigger + IUI = ???
CD: CD4
What are you doing this month? temping
chart stalks/questions/thoughts:
GTKY: if you were given a superlative in high school, or if you could go back and give yourself one, what would it be and why? Most likely to try everything once, or easy to get along with. I was very social in high school after some brutal awkardness of junior high
Good Morning!
Cycle/Month: 4 / 6
CD: 16
What are you doing this month? Charting, OPKs starting at CD12, Getting it on every other day. Haha
chart stalks/questions/thoughts: I got a temp spike this morning, but a positive OPK last night, so I'm not sure what's going on. But since I have to wait 3 days for a temp spike I'm still considering it up in the wait. Especially since FF already said I O'ed this week and then took it back.
GTKY: if you were given a superlative in high school, or if you could go back and give yourself one, what would it be and why? Honestly, I never got one and I don't think I should have. I didn't do much in high school, it wasn't my thing. My bf at the time was out of high school so I hung out with him most of the time (because I was cool like that). I didn't fall with any certain crowd, I was friends with most everyone. And I graduated early to get the hell out of there, so I wasn't involved in much. I know...I know... lame answer.
CD: 2
What are you doing this month? Temping, OPKs
chart stalks/questions/thoughts: nope
GTKY: if you were given a superlative in high school, or if you could go back and give yourself one, what would it be and why? Looking back on it--something along the lines of "Most likely to be unaware of what's going on" or "Clueless" or maybe even "Most Naive" or "Most Idealistic". Not so much anymore.
Cycle/Month: 2/2
CD: 15
What are you doing this month? OPKs, EOD sex
chart stalks/questions/thoughts: FF is predicting my O date as tomorrow. My OPKs are dark, but not quite as dark as the control line. So either I missed my surge, or I am about to have it. Hopefully EOD works!
GTKY: if you were given a superlative in high school, or if you could go back and give yourself one, what would it be and why?Hmm no idea...
ETA: Got my positive OPK at 2pm. Yay! I will have great timing this month.
CD: 6
What are you doing this month? Temping, CBEFM, conceive plus, and clomid
chart stalks/questions/thoughts: Finally down to barely spotting
GTKY: if you were given a superlative in high school, or if you could go back and give yourself one, what would it be and why? Hmmm....Most athletic - I competed in track/cross country in college.

What are you doing this month? temping, OPKs, lots of sex
chart stalks/questions/thoughts: Based on my spike this morning and pos OPKs, I am pretty sure I Od yesterday. FX for CH's on Saturday.
GTKY: if you were given a superlative in high school, or if you could go back and give yourself one, what would it be and why? The most happy with herself? Lol, sounds kinda dumb, but I was pretty content in high school. I wasn't the class nerd that got picked on all the time, and I wasn't one of the popular kids that pretended to be happy but I suspect were actually pretty miserable. I had a great little circle of friends and I was happy with who I was.

Cycle/Month: 4/3
CD: 12
What are you doing this month? chart stalks/questions/thoughts: charting, OPK's, sex...you know, the usual.
GTKY: if you were given a superlative in high school, or if you could go back and give yourself one, what would it be and why?
I was given two: funniest, and most artistic. One of my English teachers joked that I should have been voted "BIggest Book Geek," and she was correct. I always had a book with me, and the other kids just didn't get it.
Cycle/Month: 2 and 2
CD: CD1
What are you doing this month? Temping, OPKs, green tea and EOD sex
chart stalks/questions/thoughts: nada

A what?
Cycle/Month: 3/4
CD: 1
What are you doing this month? Green tea, OPKs, preseed, temping,
chart stalks/questions/thoughts: Just so pumped I finally got AF so I get to try again.
GTKY: if you were given a superlative in high school, or if you could go back and give yourself one, what would it be and why? Most flexible (bendy).. I can't think of a real superlative that would fit.
Cycle/Month: 5/6
CD: 8
What are you doing this month? OPKs, Temping, PNVs, TTA until Fall
Chart stalks/questions/thoughts: Trying to decide when to start OPKs is semi-stressful. I don't want to start super early and use them all when we aren't even TTC right now but I don't want to miss the surge and knowing about it like last cycle.
GTKY: If you were given a superlative in high school, or if you could go back and give yourself one, what would it be and why? Uhhhh. I was not given one as I was not one of the popular kids. But it would probably be most likely to have their nose in a book. I was always reading something.
Cycle/Month: 2
CD: 8
What are you doing this month? BBT, OPK, CM
Chart stalks/questions/thoughts: Very much hating my body right now. I thought my period was over, but it's trying to turn into pre-BC from 10 yrs ago. I had a splurge of bright, red blood today at 2pm. I thought it was over, I don't know why I keep getting this on random days, when my period seemed over on Mon.
GTKY: If you were given a superlative in high school, or if you could go back and give yourself one, what would it be and why? Umm, wasn't officially given one. But everyone told me I had a great smile, was very athletic and super happy all the time. I don't recall being in such an elated mood in HS but eh. Gotta love the days when responsibility was pretty low. Job, school, sleep, repeat. Now it's don't kill anyone! sleep, pay bills, cook, clean, repeat. Lame!
Cycle/Month: 3/3 CD: 5 What are you doing this month? charting, opk, pnv
chart stalks/questions/thoughts: None
GTKY: if you were given a superlative in high school, or if you could go back and give yourself one, what would it be and why? Don't know. I wasn't very interested in anything but riding so I just got in and got out.
CD: 4
What are you doing this month? Not sure yet. Temping and PNVs for sure
chart stalks/questions/thoughts: nah
GTKY: if you were given a superlative in high school, or if you could go back and give yourself one, what would it be and why? Most likely to take a nap. I loved blankets and naps.
