Cycle: 5
CD: 9
What your doing this cycle: temping/charting, opks
Anything different: Preseed, weaning down to 3 feedings
GTKY: Is there a baby name you would absolutely never use? Aubrey. I don't know why, just something about the "b" instead of the Audrey bothers me.
Cycle: 6
CD: 6
What you're doing this cycle: Exercising more & eating better. That's about it, at least for what's different.
Anything different: See above.
GTKY: Is there a baby name you would absolutely never use? Yes. Many of them.
Cycle: 2
CD: 14
What your doing this cycle: Trying to time sex better. Im thinking I o'd yesterday but I cant be certain yet. If so our timing was okay. It would be better if O was today instead.....
Anything different: No, havent went there yet
GTKY: Is there a baby name you would absolutely never use? Im not sure......i havent even thought of names yet. If its a boy we'll use our 2nd choice of what we were going to name our son, but for girls I have no idea.
Cycle: 2
CD: 13
What your doing this cycle: Staying busy
Anything different: Not focusing on TTC as much, keeping busy w/fun things
GTKY: Is there a baby name you would absolutely never use? There are lots and they are mostly in conjunction w/people that leave a bad taste in my mouth
morning!
Cycle: 5
CD: 11
What your doing this cycle: sex, start OPTs tonight, BBT, losing weight? (haha - isn't that always my goal)
Anything different: nope
GTKY: Is there a baby name you would absolutely never use? oh gosh - so many!
1) anything spelled U-neek or made-up
2) anything too trendy
3) anything gender-ambiguous or gender-specific for the opposite gender
4) anything that is a place/month/noun
I could go on and on....
(not saying I don't like these names, some can be really nice, *I* would just never use them)
Basically DH and I have decided that our kids will have 1 Biblical name and 1 family name, we've actually picked names after people we admire that have strong meaning between the first and middle name.
Cycle: 3
CD: 4
What your doing this cycle: Green tea til O, OPKs, temping and sex
Anything different: not really
GTKY: Is there a baby name you would absolutely never use? Any of the -aden names (Aiden, Brayden, Hayden, Jayden, etc) Can't stand them.
Cycle: 14
CD: 17
What your doing this cycle: Charting, OPKs, green tea and sex everyday. I hope I O'd yesterday or tiday, I'm tired!
Anything different: Just lots of sex, but nothing too different from last cy le.
GTKY: Is there a baby name you would absolutely never use? Where do I start? I'm weird about names so I have many "never" names.
Cycle: 7
CD: 13
What you're doing this cycle: sex EOD, OPKs, temping, lots of H2O.
Anything different:trying preseed. Me likey so far.
GTKY: Is there a baby name you would absolutely never use? There are tons, but my name pet peeves are mostly spelling related.
Cycle: 2
CD: 10
What your doing this cycle: OPK, vitamins, sex
Anything different: nope
GTKY: Is there a baby name you would absolutely never use? omg so many most because of students I have had and because our family cannot think outside of the box for names. Definitely no Alexa, alexis, Nick, jerry, john, james, cathy, ryan and the list goes on and on
Morning!! DS got up early and its DH's day to sleep in, so I guess I'll start. Good morning back at you!
Cycle: 2
CD: 3
What your doing this cycle: Charting, sex.
Anything different: Hopefully timing sex better.
GTKY: Is there a baby name you would absolutely never use? That's a pretty long list, and pretty much includes everything rbtrumpet said. Apparently we're naming soulmates. I'd say the worst offender is Nevaeh though. It sounds like a stripped name.
Cycle: 7
CD: 8
What your doing this cycle: internet cheapie OPKs (peeing on sticks like nobody's business), still temping.
Anything different: going to my dr today to ask about my 5-6 days of spotting
GTKY: Is there a baby name you would absolutely never use? Martin. DH wanted it last time, but NO WAY was I going for it. It's an old man name. And any name with a strange spelling just for the sake of spelling it strange.

Cycle: 12, month15
CD: 2
What you're doing this cycle: Did 7dpo bloodwork last cycle. Tomorrow for CD 3 BW and this cycle is also the HSG and SA.
Anything different: I would actually l Ike to make a baby
GTKY: Is there a baby name you would absolutely never use? Any boys names ending in "den" or "dan".
Morning!! DS got up early and its DH's day to sleep in, so I guess I'll start. Morning! I'm playing hookie and working from home today. ::sssh, don't tell::
Cycle: 3
CD: 12
What your doing this cycle: The usuals: sex & prenatal vitamins
Anything different: Temping/Charting, not stressing about work/life, and Green Tea, which apparently worked since I saw EWCM for the first time since being off BCP yesterday. I should make an entire AW thread about it, huh?
(kidding)
GTKY: Is there a baby name you would absolutely never use? There are many, but the short list are Daniel, Adam & Lydia (for personal reasons) and Harriet/Henrietta (can't stand the names).
Cycle: 9
CD: 6
What your doing this cycle: Same as usual, opk's, temping, lots of water, sex EOD.
Anything different: Maybe trying preseed. Didn't have any ewcm last cycle.
GTKY: Is there a baby name you would absolutely never use? Yes. The list would be too long. We would never use any of our ex's names, probably not any of friend's or family's childrens names. And probably nothing too unique, either.
Cycle: 2
CD: 4
What you're doing this cycle: opk testing, and praying like mad since I'll be out of town the day I'm supposed to O
Anything different: more deeds this time, closer to O
GTKY: Is there a baby name you would absolutely never use? Amelia. I liked it until DH told me it was his ex's name (the one he dated for 5 years, and who tried to kill herself). Drama!

Cycle: 9, month 13
CD: 12
What your doing this cycle: Clomid/Estrace/TI/Progesterone
GTKY: Is there a baby name you would absolutely never use? Lots of them. I am trying to stay away from the super popular names but I also don't want something that is super weird.

Cycle: 6
CD: 6
What your doing this cycle: Sex.
Anything different: Nope.
GTKY: Is there a baby name you would absolutely never use? Many. I hate anything that is extremely common like John, William, Michael, Sarah, Kristen, etc. I also won't use made-up or strangely spelled names. I prefer real names that are less common.
Morning!! I've been MIA this week...work has been crazy busy. LOOONG hours, but I thought I'd check in for people to stalk my ute.
Cycle: 5
CD: 8
What your doing this cycle: Temping, OPK's, TONS OF H2O, the usual.
Anything different: nope

My Ugly BFP Chart
“I know God won't give me anything I can't handle. I just wish he didn't trust me so much." -Mother Teresa
This, too. I loved Nadine until DH said, "Oh, I dated a Nadine once." Then he couldn't understand why I didn't want to use it anymore. If I say a name and the first thing that pops into his head is another woman, then HELL NO I don't want to name my daughter that!
Cycle: 8, month 10
CD: 7
What your doing this cycle: clomid, metformin, monitoring
Anything different: trigger shot
GTKY: Is there a baby name you would absolutely never use? Nina
Cycle: 6
CD: 7
What your doing this cycle: Sucking at charting. Hopefully I'll get back on track, but who knows.
Anything different: H and I are trying really hard to take our vitimins and drink lots of water.
GTKY: Is there a baby name you would absolutely never use? No ex's for sure and I'm going to get as far away from trendy names as possible. I grew up with the most popular name of my generation and all through school there would be at least one other girl in my class with the same name. I personally like my name but I just wish I didn't have to share it with so many others.
Morning!!
Cycle:5
CD:13
What your doing this cycle:Ok body, where's my tempt spike and LH surge? LOL I've been lucky the last couple of cycles and O'd on DPO 13. However, I know in the past my cycles could last as long as 31 days. My LP is usually 14 days so I may not O until DPO 17. (I see a lot of ladies who have a larger range so I guess I should be thankful). To add to my uncertainty, I really don't trust this batch of opk wondfos.
Anything different:I am drinking POM juice somewhat regularly before O. BDing ED since DPO 9. 5 more days of ED timed intercourse seems daunting. I know EOD is suppose to be good enough but it hasn't worked in the past so we wanted to step it up.
GTKY: Is there a baby name you would absolutely never use? There are a few names that come to mind but since you said "a name".... DECLAN. Where did it come from and how did it ever become popular? yuck! To me it is just the most unattractive sounding name and since I've never met anyone with the name I don't have positive associations for it.
Cycle: 1 (just started charting, TTA until August)
CD: 18
What your doing this cycle: Just getting the hang of it. I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing; I didn't chart last time around. I have been consistent with temping, checking CM (I feel like it changes every day), and have been using OPKs the last three days, and nada. Granted, I just got my period back 2 cycles ago and I bled for 29 days during my first pp AF. Then had 35 days until my next one. So that's, what, a 64-day cycle? I'm trying to give my body the chance to adjust but I'm already getting frustrated! My cycles were like 29-day clockwork before I got pregnant with DD.
Anything different: Uh, see above.
GTKY: Is there a baby name you would absolutely never use? I want to stab people who name their girl Nevaeh.Declan is an Irish name. I'm actually in love with that name, and I'm also disappointed that it is now popular.
LOL that's a good reason to avoid a name!
Cycle: 1
CD: 9
What your doing this cycle: Temping/charting, opks

CD: 8
What you're doing this cycle: BBT, OPK, tracking CM, green tea (when I remember)

Cycle: 3
CD: 12
What your doing this cycle: the usual temping, checking CM, OPKs, added green tea, DH wearing boxers
Anything different:green tea until O
GTKY: Is there a baby name you would absolutely never use? There are a lot of cute ones that everyone keeps stealing (it seems like everyone's popping out babies lately!) I really like Ava, but I know 4 of them born in the last year!

GTKY: Is there a baby name you would absolutely never use? Danika. Scarred from a childhood with a girl of that name. Have hated it since.
Cycle: 6
CD: 20- Probably my very first anovulatory cycle
What your doing this cycle: temping, charting, preseed, drinking more water... the usual. I don't think I'm going to O this cycle at all. I added a few dummy temps to FF up to next Wednesday and it still won't give me CH. I'm ready to stop temping and just start again next cycle.
Anything different: Nothing yet.
GTKY: Is there a baby name you would absolutely never use? Nevaeh.. ugh!!!
Cycle: 13
CD: 1
What your doing this cycle: I guess same old stuff... hoping it'll work eventually
Anything different:not really
GTKY: Is there a baby name you would absolutely never use? There are many I wouldn't use. A name that I would like to use is Lucy but it sort of rhymes with my last name so I can't use it.
