Re: ***Waiting to O***
Days till O? Hopefully about 10-12.
Did you or will you do anything differently this cycle? Taking 200mg Soy Isoflavones from CD1-5 to induce an earlier O day. Also, we'll use more preseed.
How are you feeling about this cycle so far? So far so good, but it's early.
I'm only on CD3.
GTKY: Do you think you should live with someone before marrying them? Personally, no. I wouldn't live with someone until I married them.
Happy Hump Day.
Days till O? maybe o-ing today? tomorrow?
Did you or will you do anything differently this cycle? used preseed, actually planned our timing instead of the "business as usual" approach from the last three months.
How are you feeling about this cycle so far? good, really good.
GTKY: Do you think you should live with someone before marrying them? absolutely. you learn all sorts of pet peeves and whatnot that you just don't learn otherwise. and since everyone has roommate horror stories, why wouldn't you want to know how living together shakes out first?::The sudden disappointment of a hope leaves a scar that even the ultimate fullfillment of that hope cannot fully erase:: Thomas Hardy
Days till O? Somewhere between 14 and 18.
Did you or will you do anything differently this cycle? We'll use Preseed again and I'll try to drink more water to help with CM.
How are you feeling about this cycle so far? Meh. It's too early to really have an opinion.
GTKY: Do you think you should live with someone before marrying them? No. When I was dating DH, I knew whether or not I wanted to marry him. I didn't need to "test-drive" it to see if I wanted to back out. Marriage is a commitment and takes work regardless of if you know exactly what you're getting into...I wasn't going to suddenly change my mind about marrying this man just because he leaves cabinets open or doesn't put the cap back on toothpaste.
Days till O? probably about 10
Did you or will you do anything differently this cycle? first month using opk's
How are you feeling about this cycle so far? I'm very hopeful, but trying not to get my hopes up at the same time.
GTKY: Do you think you should live with someone before marrying them? yes, definitely. To each their own, but I think it's very beneficial for a couple to live together.
Days till O? 6 or so
Did you or will you do anything differently this cycle? We will BD ED. We will BD ED. We will BD ED!!!
How are you feeling about this cycle so far? Fairly optimistic because I feel like I know my body so much better after charting my first 2 cycles
GTKY: Do you think you should live with someone before marrying them? DH and I did for a week out of necessity (I was moving for him, we were getting married in his city, and I needed a place to stay while I wrapped up wedding planning), but it's not what I would have preferred.
Did you or will you do anything differently this cycle? Just started using OPKs.
How are you feeling about this cycle so far? Eh. I was sick yesterday (fever) and I missed a day of temping so my chart isn't looking so great.
GTKY: Do you think you should live with someone before marrying them? Absolutely. If I didn't live with MH before we got married it would've made being broke newlyweds that much harder.
G born 10/25/12 | H born 3/25/14
TTC#3 since 7/2015
Early loss 12/2015 most likely due to low progesterone
Began medicated cycles (Femara/Ovidrel/Endometrin) with TI 1/2016
BFP 3/22, EDD 12/4/16 ~ It's a GIRL!
Days till O? 10 give or take.
Did you or will you do anything differently this cycle? Taking a B6/B12/Folic Acid supplement along with my regular Prentals. Using digi OPKs this time.
How are you feeling about this cycle so far? Hopeful. There is nothing to feel about it yet.
GTKY: Do you think you should live with someone before marrying them? I think it is a personal decision. I did not.Days till O? ???? O where are you!!!??? It's CD 29 already!
Did you or will you do anything differently this cycle? Nope
How are you feeling about this cycle so far? Not optomistic at all considering I haven't O'd yet
GTKY: Do you think you should live with someone before marrying them? I did heheDays till O? 14 probably
Did you or will you do anything differently this cycle? maybe that soy isoflavoid you mentioned...
How are you feeling about this cycle so far? no idea
GTKY: Do you think you should live with someone before marrying them? to each their own, but personally yes. But I think you need to make sure you're on the same page about where the relationship is going before you move in. You should both have marriage as a plan, even if you're not ready to be engaged. Or vise versa if you don't plan to get married.

Happy Hump Day.
Days till O? 7ish
Did you or will you do anything differently this cycle? going to BD ED from cd 11 until O (usually day 14 or 16)
How are you feeling about this cycle so far? Hopeful, pretty much every person that has been trying to get pregnant at the same time as me has gotten pregnant, so I'm thinking it's my turn
GTKY: Do you think you should live with someone before marrying them? I did, but to each their own!
Days till O?- probably about 50
Did you or will you do anything differently this cycle?- I'm considering accupuncture, but we'll see
How are you feeling about this cycle so far?- irritated about the prospect of waiting almost 2 months to O
GTKY: Do you think you should live with someone before marrying them?- I think it's a personal decision that each couple should make. MH and I didn't, but we did take vacations together before being married so it was like a quick snapshot/sample of what it would be like... and it was actually accurate.

If you want to use Soy Isoflavones, you need to take them on either CD 1-5, CD 2-6, CD 3-7 or CD 5-9 (like clomid), no later.
Also, make sure you do some research about it, since it can make your cycle annovulatory or later than usual. I decided to risk it.
Here's an "article" I found that gives the gist about what it does, when to take it, and some risks:

Days till O? 11-13
Did you or will you do anything differently this cycle? green tea, CoQ10 supplements for DH and myself
How are you feeling about this cycle so far? Blissfully optimistic as always this early in a cycle
GTKY: Do you think you should live with someone before marrying them? Yes, but to each his/her own. I lived with a previous boyfriend and it made it crystal clear that we were not ready/meant to survive a marriage together. I feel that if it's not going to work, living together just accelerates the process. I knew I would marry DH very early in the relationship and we didn't technically live together until we were engaged. I already knew he was gross so living together wasn't going to change my mind
TTC since 3/2011
BFP #1: 11/23/2011 EDD: 8/8/2012 c/p: 11/28/2011
BFP #2: 3/7/2012 EDD: 11/17/2012
Days till O? 3 days!!!
Did you or will you do anything differently this cycle? Using an OPK and started taking prenatal vitamins
How are you feeling about this cycle so far? Anxious...haven't seen the smiley face yet.
GTKY: Do you think you should live with someone before marrying them? For me, no. DH and I did not live together and it has been fun, but difficult getting used to each other. I do see the benefits of living together before marriage though, but it wasn't an option for us.
Happy Hump Day. Thanks
Days till O? hopefully 1-2
Did you or will you do anything differently this cycle? am using pre-seed internally
How are you feeling about this cycle so far? ok I guess
GTKY: Do you think you should live with someone before marrying them? I think you really get to know someone after living with them, so in my case we lived together before we were married and it all worked out great.
Days till O? I was hoping it would be today but probably tomorrow.
Did you or will you do anything differently this cycle? Nope.
How are you feeling about this cycle so far? Not too optimistic. We aren't even an EOD kind of couple
Guess we'll have to work on that if we don't get KU after a few cycles lol. Our timing this month probably won't be the best.
GTKY: Do you think you should live with someone before marrying them? It's not for me. I'm definitely on the traditional side. And I loved the excitement that it added to the wedding.
Did you or will you do anything differently this cycle? I'm giving green tea (iced, straight up without sweetners) a try since I had less than ample amounts of decent ewcm last cycle. Also, I'm making strong efforts to do things for myself to relax and maybe even enjoy life outside of work. I forget to do that sometimes.
How are you feeling about this cycle so far? I feel like even if its not the one, it's one less cycle till our bfp
GTKY: Do you think you should live with someone before marrying them? YES! At least I know it was right for DH and I. If a couple thinks otherwise, though, then by all means they should do what feels right.
Days till O? 4-6
Did you or will you do anything differently this cycle? Not doing anything but charting this time.
How are you feeling about this cycle so far? Fine, just had my HSG with fairly good results, so feeling optimistic. Plus, JennyRenny said I would get pregnant this cycle, so I guess it's a done deal!
GTKY: Do you think you should live with someone before marrying them? I don't think you have to, but DH moved in with me about a month after we started dating. I wouldn't recommend this in general, but it worked out.Together since 5/08 ~ Married 6/19/10 ~ TTC #1 since 8/10
BFP#1 3/26/11 ~ EDD 12/2/11 ~ Ectopic Twins left tube 7w3d
BFP#2 11/2/11 ~ EDD 7/14/12 ~ Robert Edgar born 7/18/12
BFP#3 9/28/13 ~ EDD 5/20/14 ~ Benjamin Clarence born 5/15/14
Days till O? 2-4.
Did you or will you do anything differently this cycle? Just started using OPK's this cycle, and really trying to time everything well.
How are you feeling about this cycle so far? Pretty good. Better than before when I wasn't charting or really paying any attention to when I could O.
GTKY: Do you think you should live with someone before marrying them? I think it's a good idea. DH and I moved in together right before we got engaged, and I definitely think it was a good idea for us.
