What TTC related things are you doing? Green tea, pom, PNV, temping and charting, starting to actually jump my husband on the regular
Rants / Raves / Frustrations / General Feelings that you need to get out? My temps are going lower and lower...not sure what's going on. I don't think I'm going to O any time soon, but I'd really like to this weekend. I hate weekday sex...so tired after putting the little one down that all I want to do is watch Sherlock/HIMYM/Modern Family episodes on my DVR.
GTKY: If you could choose having a professional cook, housekeeper, chauffeur, or personal secretary for free for the next five years, what would you choose and why? Professional cook! I looooove to cook, but it takes a lot of time, and I'd probably be healthier if someone could make me super healthy things that taste great too. I always just want to add more cheese and butter and there HAS to be a better way...

What TTC related things are you doing? temping
Rants / Raves / Frustrations / General Feelings that you need to get out? I think/hope I O'd yesterday, but my temp didn't go up that much, so we'll see
GTKY: If you could choose having a professional cook, housekeeper, chauffeur, or personal secretary for free for the next five years, what would you choose and why? HOUSEKEEPER 100%. I suck at cleaning and I hate it. Least favorite part of being a SAHM.

What TTC related things are you doing? PNVs, lots of water/tea, charting bbt
Rants / Raves / Frustrations / General Feelings that you need to get out? I felt sick yesterday and this morning I spiked a fever. This is really messing with my snow day sex plans.
GTKY: If you could choose having a professional cook, housekeeper, chauffeur, or personal secretary for free for the next five years, what would you choose and why? Personal secretary for sure! I am terrible about remembering appointments and sending out birthday cards. Having someone else to remind me and keep me organized would be amazing!

What TTC related things are you doing? Charting, OPKs, green tea, eating healthy, water, PNVs
Rants / Raves / Frustrations / General Feelings that you need to get out? My DD has croup and has been sleeping with us. I have not been sleeping great. I don't know how accurate my chart is going to be.
GTKY: If you could choose having a professional cook, housekeeper, chauffeur, or personal secretary for free for the next five years, what would you choose and why?
I think housekeeper. I hate chores

What TTC related things are you doing? BBT, CM, OPK, green tea
Rants / Raves / Frustrations / General Feelings that you need to get out? Just wishing and hoping and thinking and praying, planning and dreaming... to O sometime relatively soon
GTKY: If you could choose having a professional cook, housekeeper, chauffeur, or personal secretary for free for the next five years, what would you choose and why?
Umm housekeeper would be amazing. It would save me so much time! DH likes to cook and I like to drive. Personal secretary would also be nice but I'd take the housekeeper.

What TTC related things are you doing? FF, OPK, CM, Increasing H2O
Rants / Raves / Frustrations / General Feelings that you need to get out? Just so hopeful for an October due date so that DH will have a birthday twin n lets just be honest I'm just ready to be KU!!! I know if this month is a dud I'm going to be in a funk for at least a 1/2 day minimum..lol
GTKY: If you could choose having a professional cook, housekeeper, chauffeur, or personal secretary for free for the next five years, what would you choose and why?
Housekeeper for sure! I hate cleaning bathrooms, dusting, mopping n more
:-t
CD? CD6
What TTC related things are you doing? PNV, exercise, I'm going to grab some OPKs because temping is not working out so far.
Rants / Raves / Frustrations / General Feelings that you need to get out? My mind can't grasp the whole temp before getting out of bed thing. Even putting the BBT on my alarm clock didn't work - I just pushed it away and snoozed. I'll try again tomorrow but may need to stick with just OPK's.
GTKY: If you could choose having a professional cook, housekeeper, chauffeur, or personal secretary for free for the next five years, what would you choose and why? Definitely a professional cook - assuming that the cook would do all the grocery shopping, all the dishes, all the kitchen cleaning and would make me three meals a day (including a nice meal for lunch every day). Making healthy meals is so time consuming!
Cycle/Month? 12/16
CD? 2
What TTC related things are you doing? Temping, OPK, Preseed, Metformin. Got my CD3 appointment tomorrow with the RE, I imagine it will be another Clomid+Trigger month. I'm debating IUI again, it seems like a waste of money though.
Rants / Raves / Frustrations / General Feelings that you need to get out? Something is wrong with DH's sperm, when they did the SA everything came back great and the count was amazing. But when we did the post coital the RE couldn't find any live sperm. Then at the first IUI there was almost nothing there to "put in". The RE was very confused by it but we went ahead with it anyways. I just don't feel comfortable dropping $450 for something that is seemingly worthless.
GTKY: If you could choose having a professional cook, housekeeper, chauffeur, or personal secretary for free for the next five years, what would you choose and why? housekeeper, I don't mind cooking/driving and I don't know what a secretary would even do. Cleaning the house I don't have a problem with, but I'd love someone to wash the windows and the baseboards on a regular basis. Oh, and mop!
TTC #1 October 2012
Me (30): PCOS DH (31): SA looks good

3/14: Femara = BFN
4/14: Break for job change = BFP!! EDD 1/5/15
Cycle/Month: 4/6
CD: 17
What TTC related things are you doing?: Temping, OPKs, planning my IUI!
Rants/Raves/Frustrations/General Feelings that you need to get out?: This will be my last day on waiting to O, at least for this cycle (God willing I'll get KTFU so I won't HAVE another cycle for 9 months). I took my OPKs this morning and all three were positive so... that pretty much confirms it
Yes, I know one can surge and not ovulate. I'm tracking my temps to make sure too. I took Clomid, though, and I ovulated naturally last month without the help of HCG so I'm hoping my body will do its thang.
I trust the digital OPK this time but I had some issues with it in the past. I'd get a positive smiley face but when I ejected the stick there would just be one line and a bunch of cloudy blue stuff. This time when I ejected the stick there were two dark blue lines. Along with two dark pink lines on the other 2 tests I took. I'm going to pee every two hours and see how long the surge lasts. I'm curious.
Question: My pre-O temps range from 97.5-97.9. Post-O range from 98.3-98.8. If I temp tomorrow and see my range hits the 98.3+ mark that means I already ovulated, right? And that I shouldn't proceed with the IUI? Then if I temp on Saturday morning and see it's in the post-O range that means I ovulated Friday, yes? Just want to make sure. I don't want to drive all the way to my RE if I don't even have a shot with higher temps.
I temped this morning and I'm at 97.7. Still solidly pre-O.
Anyway, thanks ladies, for your support!! Positive vibes tomorrow are much appreciated
You all gave me good vibes for my HSG and that turned out beautifully well, so maybe more good vibes will get me KTFU.

Rants / Raves / Frustrations / General Feelings that you need to get out? Not having the best day already, so that sucks. Still impatient about waiting to O.

Rants / Raves / Frustrations / General Feelings that you need to get out? Not much yet. Another positive OPK this morning. Hopefully I have a clear temp shift soon.
GTKY: If you could choose having a professional cook, housekeeper, chauffeur, or personal secretary for free for the next five years, what would you choose and why? Definitely housekeeper. I loathe cleaning.
Thanks Kat, it's driving me nuts because I can't find any examples on Dr. Google of how count, morphology, and motility could be great but within 2 hours (that's how long it takes for the IUI sample to be ready) the count goes to hell.

Rants / Raves / Frustrations / General Feelings that you need to get out? Nothing. Just annoyed today and have had a dull headache for the last 3 days for some unknown reason. Annoying.
GTKY: If you could choose having a professional cook, housekeeper, chauffeur, or personal secretary for free for the next five years, what would you choose and why? Housekeeper, most definitely. I hate cleaning, but I LOVE a clean home. Before DS I didn't mind cleaning so much, but now I want to spend all my time I'm not at work with him, not cleaning. Bleh.

I just started my first day of my ten days of progesterone So we will see. Hoping for CD1 very soon!!!
GTKY: If you could choose having a professional cook, housekeeper, chauffeur, or personal secretary for free for the next five years, what would you choose and why?
Definitely a housekeeper not cleaning would free up a lot of time.

GTKY: If you could choose having a professional cook, housekeeper, chauffeur, or personal secretary for free for the next five years, what would you choose and why?
Housekeeper all the way! I HATE cleaning, and I have so many other things I could be working on other than cleaning.

What TTC related things are you doing: PNV, Temping, OPKs, pom juice, reduced caffeine and alcohol, signed back up to my gym today to get back into regular workouts
Rants / Raves / Frustrations / General Feelings that you need to get out? Day 1 without coffee and I have a lingering headache and am in quite the mood.
GTKY: If you could choose having a professional cook, housekeeper, chauffeur, or personal secretary for free for the next five years, what would you choose and why?
Housekeeper for sure! I love cooking and while I don't really love to drive, I only work 10 miles from our house so I don't drive enough to count. But man I would love to not clean the house!
TTC Since 11/13

What TTC related things are you doing? Temping and drinking iced green tea because I like it. Dr just switched me from folic acid to PNV. Took before bed and so farso good!
Rants / Raves / Frustrations / General Feelings that you need to get out? Trying to plan a vacation but not sure what things to book to do as we have no clue if we will be pregnant when on vacation. Planning that we won't be but trying not to book things that are not refundable.
GTKY: If you could choose having a professional cook, housekeeper, chauffeur, or personal secretary for free for the next five years, what would you choose and why?
Housekeeper, cleaning sucks. Husband does more than I do most times so it would be to give him a break.
CD? 13
What TTC related things are you doing? We are NTNP this cycle, only temping to keep track of O date
Rants / Raves / Frustrations / General Feelings that you need to get out? I am still unsure about how I feel not really trying this month...DH and I thought it would be good to take a month to focus on losing some weight and getting healthier.
GTKY: If you could choose having a professional cook, housekeeper, chauffeur, or personal secretary for free for the next five years, what would you choose and why? Housekeeper for sure! I hate cleaning, I really need to clean the house more regularly.

What TTC related things are you doing? planning sex
Rants / Raves / Frustrations / General Feelings that you need to get out? not today.
GTKY: If you could choose having a professional cook, housekeeper, chauffeur, or personal secretary for free for the next five years, what would you choose and why? It's a toss up between housekeeper and chauffer. I am kind of a bad driver and it would be safer for everyone if I had a chauffer, but I am also kind of bad about cleaning and it would be nice to have someone take care of that for me.
Siamese253 I hope they can figure out the problem!

What TTC related things are you doing? PNVs, OPKs, Temping, pom juice/h2o, EOD sex
Rants / Raves / Frustrations / General Feelings that you need to get out? A little crampy today. I think O may be getting close. But DH has poker tonight which means no sex...I'm trying to think up a plot to get in a quickie before he leaves.
GTKY: If you could choose having a professional cook, housekeeper, chauffeur, or personal secretary for free for the next five years, what would you choose and why? Housekeeper. I love to cook and still want to get a culinary degree some day. I don't mind driving, and I'd go nuts if someone else was handling my personal life (type A much?) so housekeeper it is. I don't mind cleaning, but our house is huge and getting it all done takes a lot of time each day.

Rants / Raves / Frustrations / General Feelings that you need to get out? So glad my husband is home! Going to horseshoe bay resort this weekend with my parents for a little fun and R&R - looking forward to it; will keep my mind off of TTC!
GTKY: If you could choose having a professional cook, housekeeper, chauffeur, or personal secretary for free for the next five years, what would you choose and why? I would choose a chauffeur because I love to cook and am currently in Culinary School, and we have a housekeeper once a month already to deep clean, so keeping the house clean isn't too too bad - having someone to drive me around to keep me from getting pulled over for no reason would be awesome!
@DLpanda08 Sorry you're not feeling well. Hope you feel better soon!
@MKAM10 and @DoubleUp8 I hope you get some quality sleep soon...I know what you mean by not sleeping great...Zzzzzzz
@TravelingCouple thanks for that song stuck in my head
@Bennfield10 I know that 1/2 day funk all too well! FX this is your cycle!
@peggels24 Temping takes some time to get used to. When I first started, there were days when I got up and went to the bathroom and then remembered, CRAP I was supposed to temp BEFORE getting up...stick with it and think about it first before you even open your eyes. It's the best thing to help me with my wonky cycles.
@Siamese253 I hope they figure everything out for you and your hubby this time. Trying for babies is expensive!
@DarcyHermoine hope you feel better today!
@NariaDreaming Grow follies grow! and ew to litter boxes! I love cooking and I also hate dishes!
@wishiwaspreggo GL this cycle YAY for OPKs working and YAY for O! From my understanding, the day you have the temp spike is the day AFTER you O. O'ing only takes 15 minutes and the egg can be fertilized within/up to 24-48 hours (I believe). Positive vibes all over for you!
@irisheyes317 FX for high temps very soon!
@meganole25 I know it seems monotonous, but hang in there!
@katie0919 Sorry about your headache! I hope you feel better soon!
@Orazzal Hope the progesterone triggers your CD1 soon!
@LadyRaleigh12 Sorry about your headache...caffeine withdraw can be a real pain!
@Diordra I have had post O temps lower than other cycles. But my post O temps have a tendency to be all over the place sometimes, too.

What TTC related things are you doing?The usual.
Rants / Raves / Frustrations / General Feelings that you need to get out? This has been a long week, and it is only Thursday
GTKY: If you could choose having a professional cook, housekeeper, chauffeur, or personal secretary for free for the next five years, what would you choose and why? If I had a housekeeper, or even a cleaning service come in every other week, it would be a dream. I am a SAHM, and our house gets dirty so quickly, I feel like I'm always cleaning, but I'm really bad at it. If I could justify the expense, or find the money to pay for it, I would without question have someone come in to clean.
CD? 25
What TTC related things are you doing? Temping, checking CM and CP. I'm also trying to cut down on wine consumption (I'll let ya know how that goes!)
Rants / Raves / Frustrations / General Feelings that you need to get out? Thought that with my skin breakouts, I may have a chance at O'ing before CD40s.... I've been wrong so far. It's just turned out to be a week long breakout fest.
GTKY: If you could choose having a professional cook, housekeeper, chauffeur, or personal secretary for free for the next five years, what would you choose and why? I love this question! I'd pick housekeeper. My dog sheds like a fiend and my hubs and I hate cleaning bathrooms. Bleh!

What TTC related things are you doing? temping, cm, cp, pnv, green tea, hio ed, opks
Rants / Raves / Frustrations / General Feelings that you need to get out? I had a super vivid dream last night that I was pregnant. When I woke up it took me a minute to realize it was just a dream, and then I was so bummed.
Also, I finally had a temp rise today. My OPK 2 days ago was so close to positive I probably should just mark it as + in FF. Yesterdays was less so, but I think partially because it was diluted urine (i barely had any in there either, so I'm not sure if that affects it or not). I haven't taken one today yet. I had a TON of ew cm yesterday, so fingers crossed.
GTKY: If you could choose having a professional cook, housekeeper, chauffeur, or personal secretary for free for the next five years, what would you choose and why? A housekeeper, because I actually like to cook and be my own secretary. And I hardly ever drive anywhere, so a chauffeur would be a waste.

What TTC related things are you doing? PNV, Temping, Charting, Preseed
Rants / Raves / Frustrations / General Feelings that you need to get out? Well, AF is heavy today, people suck at driving, I feel extremely bloated and my clothes are tight, my hair looks greasy, I'm hungry and tired, and I just want to go home and cuddle on the couch and eat fried food.
GTKY: If you could choose having a professional cook, housekeeper, chauffeur, or personal secretary for free for the next five years, what would you choose and why? Good question! I would say a professional cook. Why? Because then we could have nice, healthy home cooked meals every day instead of only 2-3 times a week and frozen meals or take out the other days.

What TTC related things are you doing? Temping, PNVs, HIO ED,
Rants / Raves / Frustrations / General Feelings that you need to get out? I had a temp surge this morning, so I'm feeling pretty good about our timing right now. On the flip side, tho, I have a raging headache AGAIN. This is day 6 of a headache at some point during the day. I think it's directly related to the stress at work & is a tension headache. I took Monday off, so I'm hoping that a nice mental health day will help me out.
GTKY: If you could choose having a professional cook, housekeeper, chauffeur, or personal secretary for free for the next five years, what would you choose and why? Housekeeper, hands down. It's not that I don't like keeping my own house clean, but I swear.....I feel like we spend so much time keeping up on laundry and general house stuff, that we don't have time for other stuff at time. Also, we're remodeling our house, so if we had a housekeeper, we could concentrate on remodel related stuff & not cleaning all the damned time!
@wishiwaspreggo you are getting all my good vibes lady!!

GTKY: If you could choose having a professional cook, housekeeper, chauffeur, or personal secretary for free for the next five years, what would you choose and why? Housekeeper for sure! I can't even tell you how many times a day I have to clean up toys! And my husband is an awesome cook and makes dinner 50-75% of the time anyway, so I already have a personal chef
@gator26 and @j3nnyb- Cramps are the worst! I hope you get relief soon!
@jcsumm0- Im thinking I O'd yesterday too. FX for you!!
@DLpanda08- ((hugs)) I hope you feel better soon!
@MKAM10- I hope your DD gets better soon! Extra people in the bed never makes for a good nights sleep!
@TravelingCouple- I'm glad to see your rat is still hanging on!
@katnhiding- Get well soon!!!
@siamese253- That does sound odd...FX that they figure it out!
@NariaDreaming- FX for your follies! Grow follies grow!
@wishIwaspreggo- YAY for the OPK! I know you were worried about using them this cycle! Sending you tons of positive vibes!!!
@norweigan- ((hugs)) I hope the rest of your day gets better!
@orazzal- FX for CD1!!
@crazymonkeybear- That's why they are here-- daily posts!
@shandelyn- Sounds like a fun weekend! Hope you have a great time!!
@snooks721- I am sorry you are having a rough day! I think the couch and fried food sounds like the perfect remedy!
@soccer4us2013- FX that your headaches go away! A mental health day sounds like a good plan!
@acholb- Welcome
@kap617- CM can be confusing! It's best to record it as the most fertile of the two. So watery would be the best way to record it (it could be getting sticky as it dries on your finger). But, if it makes you feel better, recording it in the notes section is a good idea too!

GTKY: love this question! Housekeeper, though, hands down. Those adorable dogs in my siggy shed like a mofo. Having someone else to sweep and mop everyday would be amazing.
