What are you doing to affect your uterus: Not much right now. I am trying to drink more water and will incorporate green tea very soon.
Thoughts/Rants/Chartstalks: When you're in the 2WW if seems like it'll never end. But when you get back into the "Waiting to O" phase, if seems like you were just there.
GTKY: What did you want your name to be when you were a kid? Something more common. I didn't like having a name that was different. It took me 25 years to meet someone else who had the same name as me.
What are you doing to affect your uterus: Same old, same old.
Thoughts/Rants/Chartstalks: Nada
GTKY: What did you want your name to be when you were a kid? I hated my middle name, since I thought it sounded like a boy's name. So I instructed everyone to call me Cayleigh Pink instead. To this day, my aunts and uncles still call me that.
What are you doing to affect your uterus: All the same shiit. Got the green light from the RE to continue this cycle. Next cycle will be different for sure.
Thoughts/Rants/Chartsalks: Apparently I'm very low on my Vitamin D levels.
GTKY: What did yo want your name to be when you were a kid: Mariah - I was oBSESSED with Mariah Carey when she first came out.

ETHAN IS HERE! 02.04.13
What are you doing to affect your uterus: Just temping right now to confirm O, plus PNVs.
Thoughts/Rants/Charts talks: Pretty sure I O'd yesterday, but won't get my CH till Sat. I'll be much happier with our timing if it was yesterday as opposed to Tuesday.
GTKY: What did you want your name to be when you were a kid?
I have an uncommon name with a pretty unusual spelling (yes, my parents went there), so I wished I had an common name like Elizabeth or Jennifer. I always hated the 1st day of school - the teacher butchering the pronunciation of my name; all the kids turning to stare at me. I do like my name now and see the virtues of not having the same name as other people. People tell me all the time how pretty it is, but as a kid it honestly sucked. When we named DD, we chose a name that is technically a little unusual, but it's pretty popular these days so she's destined to be one of at least 2 in her class!
What are you doing to affect your uterus: Temping, PNVs, sex
Thoughts/Rants/Chartstalks: I've typically O'd by now, but my chart certainly doesn't show any sign of a shift. Had to temp earlier than usual the past couple of days, so maybe those temperatures are off? Or maybe this cycle is gonna be longer than usual? No way to tell yet. If only biology was simpler!
GTKY: What did you want your name to be when you were a kid? I went through a phase where I didn't want anyone to use my full name, but to shorten it to Stacie instead. I was pretty adamant about it. The funny thing is that now I always use my full name and my Dad is the only person who still calls me Stacie.
What are you doing to affect your uterus: Drinking lots of water
Thoughts/Rants/Chartstalks: Does anyone else get nauseous to the point of occasionally throwing up during O time? This is only my second cycle off of BCP so I'm hoping that I'm still adjusting to being off of them, but this is the second month when I have been incredibly nauseous during O, which is sure going to make TTC fun.
GTKY: What did you want your name to be when you were a kid? Amelia or Amber

What are you doing to affect your uterus: HSG was yesterday, everything all clear expect he cancelled the IUI for this month, because of some endometrium floating around in there. So, back to the old fashioned way!
Thoughts/Rants/Chartstalks: Nothing really today.
GTKY: What did you want your name to be when you were a kid? I disliked my name, because a lot of people didn't know how to pronounce it. Even though it seemed pretty simple. It's Kylie. And the first day of school was always the worst because teachers would always miss the 'i' and say Kyle. So if I wanted a different name, it would probably be one that was easy to say!
What are you doing to affect your uterus: Drinking more water, PNV, temping, checking CM, OPKs, charting, sex.
Thoughts/Rants/Chartstalks: I am still very upset with my dogs for waking me up early yesterday and throwing me off with my temp. My BBT was up again today, so I either O'd CD 22 or CD 24, just waiting for FF to give me CH's.
GTKY: What did you want your name to be when you were a kid? Anything but Sarah. There were 4 of us, all Sarah Elizabeth in my 7th grade class. I always wished my parents would have named me their boy pick, Skylar or something cool like Topanga (I obviously loved Boy Meets World).
What are you doing to affect your uterus: Temping, OPKs, sex

What are you doing to affect your uterus: temping, green tea, EOD sex until 0-1 then ED until 0+1, drinking slightly less wine :-), pineapple core after O.
Thoughts/Rants/Chartstalks: psyching myself up to HIO over the weekend!!
GTKY: What did you want your name to be when you were a kid? Maybe for a short while Lydia because that was what my parents were going to name me, but I have always loved my name!
What are you doing to affect your uterus: The usual....
Thoughts/Rants/Chartstalks: I *think*, or perhaps hope, that I O'd yesterday.
GTKY: What did you want your name to be when you were a kid? I was always one of many Jennifer's in a classroom, so I always wanted something more original.
What are you doing to affect your uterus: Lots of water and green tea, hio ed
Thoughts/Rants/Chartstalks: Just HIO and not doing any charting at this point
GTKY: What did you want your name to be when you were a kid? Something pretty like Izabella or Sabrina, I also went through a "I want a boy name" stage like Jessi or Joey
What are you doing to affect your uterus: sex, Pom, water
Thoughts/Rants/Chartstalks: Found out what the smell issue that makes me sick at the school. It's the soundproofing insulation for the video and audio studios. Took them a year and a half to figure that one out. I have no faith anymore in that place. I'm looking into transferring.
GTKY: What did you want your name to be when you were a kid? The same name I was given. I like my name.

GTKY: What did you want your name to be when you were a kid? I really didn't like my name growing up because its uncommon, but I liked that I was named after my Grandmother (in a way) Her name was Anna but everyone called her Nancy, so my Mom named me Nancy. I like Anna a lot better though and wish she named me that instead.

Thoughts/Rants/Chartstalks: I'm drinking WAY more water than I did last cycle in hopes that my CM will increase. I'm probably going to the bathroom every 45 minutes and I'm worried that my urine will be too diluted for the OPK's. Has anybody had a problem with this or should it read positive anyway?
I have thought about this a lot! What I've been doing is not drinking a ton after I first get up, doing my first OPK around 10-11am. Then I pound back as much water as I can and then try to stop around 4pm so I can try to not go pee for a couple hours before doing my second OPK around 6-7pm. This was the first cycle I noticed EWCM though, so I think I'll stick with this for now. HTH, good luck!
What are you doing to affect your uterus: Same old stuff
Thoughts/Rants/Chartstalks: DH's BFF & his wife had their baby today. He's so cute! I only pouted to myself for less than 5 mins on the way to work. I'm pretty proud of that!!
GTKY: What did you want your name to be when you were a kid? I wanted to go by my middle name, Michele. Mom wouldn't hear of it, though.
