What are you doing to get pregnant?: sex, PNVs, bbt, CM
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: If my temp stays up tomorrow, I may get my CH finally!
GTKY - What is something you love about yourself?: My determination.
CD: 17
What are you doing to get pregnant?: almost all the things
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I'm ready to O over here. My temps aren't making me happy though. I did have ewcm yesterday though and an almost positive opk. I'll check again later today but hopefully I'll be O'ing soon!! Also if anyone would be willing to look at my chart i would be very appreciative.
GTKY: Since we had some mean things said to us yesterday I think we need a moment to reflect on something good about ourselves. So what is something you love about yourself?
I like that I truly enjoy volunteering. I don't feel obligated to do it, but it's something that try to do often to help others. I'm up for almost any type of volunteer event!
ETA: added some more words

What are you doing to get pregnant?: PNV, BBT, OPK
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I was dismayed to get EWCM yesterday but my OPK was still negative. Hopefully today's will be negative too and that will give us a chance this cycle. I get to see H tomorrow night (if no plane issues) and I'm hoping I don't O till Wednesday so we can hit -2, -1 and O but I really hope I don't O today.

CD: 23
What are you doing to get pregnant?: BBT, OPK, CBDA, sexing when in the mood.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stocks: If I don't O this cycle, then H and I have decided to consult with an RE (3 cycles charting and 3 cycles no O). So I'm trying to put all that off my mind while we are on vacation and deal with all of it when we get back. I'm really not looking forward to that and all the research that goes with it. I know my insurance does not cover IF treatments, but I'll need to call them to find out about DX testing and estimated costs. Also, if I want to switch from an HMO to a PPO I would have to do so in August (open enrollment period). So I'm praying, and crossing everything, that I actually O and don't need to think about any of that and that H's family doesn't ask me anything about babies this week. I was open with people when we started trying, and will be open about whatever's next, but not before I even know what that is, if that makes sense. Ok, rant done! Now to forget about all of that, relax, and enjoy vacation! Maybe I'll get totes KU because I'm not thinking about it
GTKY: Can I say my life in general. Baby or no baby, I am very blessed with a loving husband, the cutest fur friend, a home, a job I actually like, and the means to go on fun vacations. I need to remind myself of that more!
CD: 16
What are you doing to get pregnant?: BBT, CM, PNVs, OPKs
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Can I just say that I love my husband? First of all, he's so cute with little kids. But yesterday he also asked his cousin if he could hold her 10-week-old baby. And he was so freaking cute. Then last night I checked in on how he feels about knowing what's going on while we are TTC. Before we ever started he wanted to "just see what happens." Long story short- now he said I can tell him when I think I'm fertile/get a positive OPK. He said he would not feel pressure to perform, or feel like he is being "used for his sperm." To be fair, he is the one who really wanted a kid, and I was the one who had to warm up.
GTKY: So what is something you love about yourself?
I love my passion for helping others. Don't get me wrong, we need business people, factory workers, etc. But I could not imagine being in a line of work where I'm not directly helping others.

@tlc35 I hope your body holds off on ovulating!
@littleliverpill I'm sorry for CD1
@dazzld1 I'm sorry you're having issues so early on. I hope you O this month!! Enjoy your vacation
@littleliverpill sorry about cd1
@dazzld1 I hope that you O soon!!
@linny1012 Im not great at reading charts but fx for you!
@Jags8 I think that's great your husband is willing to know more about the ttc process. Mine is not quite there yet. Also, I love that quote
@MiraK03 - Thanks
@tlc35 - FX that O holds off and you are able to get good timing!
@littleliverpill - Sorry for CD1.
@mal922 - Thanks
@linny1012 - I so wish I could say yes, but to me it doesn't look like you have O'ed yet. Your last two temps look like they are more in your pre-O range. FX that you do O soon and that your RE appointment goes well!
@Jags8 - Thank you
ETA: Thank yous

FX you do O soon though!

What are you doing to get pregnant?: BBT, Sex, OPK... ya know, stuff
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Other than the one day of super sleep weirdness, not much. Hopefully FF won't give me CH tomorrow!
GTKY: physically - my calves are killer! Personality wise - I'm generally a good person. I like to help people, don't like to see them upset or hurt... I do what I can to fix things for people

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I was benched for a month for a cyst, and I'm excited to be trying again! I go in for monitoring on Monday.

I like how extremely determined I am.

@linny1012 CD 60... You have the patience I wish I had! Fx that you O soon!
@littleliverpill so sorry for cd1 :-/
Cycle/month: 1/1
CD: 14. I'm always pretty regular so should O any day!
What are you doing to get pregnant?: CM, BBT, PNV, sex, OPK
Rants/raves/charts: DH said he can't keep up with ED sex. Bummer because we are so close to O! (What happened to sex in our 20s?!) But I understand and would rather do EOD and not stress him out! I've also become obsessed with OPK! I know it says if the line is light pink that it is negative but I think it gets darker every time (might be my imagination!)
Something I like about myself: i'm good with kids. It comes naturally. I'm a teacher of the little guys and I just love my job.
CD: 17
What are you doing to get pregnant?: PNV, BBT, CM
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I've felt like crap the last two days, my stomach has been so upset. Don't think I've O'd, really anxious about seeing a shift just to... see it I guess, since this is first month temping. I don't have any hopes for this cycle though, DH and I have had almost zero sex. This heat had been getting to him earlier this cycle and zapped his sex drive. Now he's ready to go, but I've had a ton of shifts at work lined up (12 hr nights) and SS is here (5yo) so we've had like no time together... just blah to this cycle, at least I will get some experience with charting though.
GTKY: Since we had some mean things said to us yesterday I think we need a moment to reflect on something good about ourselves. So what is something you love about yourself?
I took strengthsquest in college and it listed my top strength as being an "includer" which I LOVE. Basically I want everyone to feel included all the time, so while I think everyone develops some kind of bias/discriminations throughout life, I've always loved that my circles of friends are so incredibly diverse, they've taught me so much about so many different cultures
CD: 12
What are you doing to get pregnant?: temping/charting, OPK's
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: it's day 5 of the freaking blinky smiley face on my CBDA, and I'm going insane! But I'm thinking I might have O'd the other day (early) I just need one more temp to confirm.
GTKY: Since we had some mean things said to us yesterday I think we need a moment to reflect on something good about ourselves. So what is something you love about yourself? I love that I try to see the best in everybody when I meet them. I feel like it's important to start off every new relationship on a good note.
Cycle/Month: 7 / 5 AL
CD: 18
What are you doing to get pregnant?: BBT, ED sex, lots of water, CM check
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I had a spike in temp today but I've had a temp this high last week. I need a few more days to see if I O'd yesterday. This is my first cycle temping so I don't know what's usual for me.
GTKY: Since we had some mean things said to us yesterday I think we need a moment to reflect on something good about ourselves. So what is something you love about yourself? Im pretty cool
CD: 6
What are you doing to get pregnant?: charting CM and temp
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: So the earliest I've ever O'd was CD 11. Usually I'm around CD 14-17. So anyone want to explain why I had watery CM today? Seriously, just when you think you've got it figured out...
GTKY: Since we had some mean things said to us yesterday I think we need a moment to reflect on something good about ourselves. So what is something you love about yourself? I'm really positive. I can usually find something good about a situation.
CD: 10
What are you doing to get pregnant: PNV, BBT, CM, sex a lot.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: My temp dropped yesterday and CM went watery, really hope i didnt O on cd 9. No EWCM yet so hopefully temp was just lower.
GTKY: I wasnt around yesterday what happened? Positive about me? Im a creative lady
CD: 14
What are you doing to get pregnant? BBT, charting, OPKs, Preseed, ED sex since this is my fertile week.
Rant/rave/chart stalk? My OPK was darker this morning! I'm curious to see how long it takes for it to match the control line for a +. If that happens tonight and I O tomorrow then we will be hitting -4, -2, -1, O and +1 which is pretty good. My temp was still low so we will see...I tried Preseed for the first time this morning....seeing the applicators was pretty interesting. DH left the room while I "applied" because he said it looked "too scientific". Ha.
GTKY: I also think I'm an includer which I like, and I also try to be very mindful of others. I also like that I'm an excellent critical thinker - although that also tends to cause anxiety...I wish I embraced change better and was more optimistic/positive, so I'm working on that.
@Jags8 - I'm glad your DH is open to hearing about it! I like that mine is curious!
@tlc35 - hope your DH makes it back in time! My DH is planning a trip in October and the first thing I did was see if I would be likely to O on those dates! Never thought that would happen!
@littleliverpill - boo to CD1! Will this likely make your friends visit timing better? FX for your next cycle!
@dazzld1 - sorry to hear about not O'ing but I'm really happy you figured it out early on!
@linny1012 - GL @ RE on the 22nd!
@itshumpday - the ED sex is hard to handle - especially if it's a change from normal habits! Happy to hear about the darker line!
@awesomenus1341 - sorry for the blah cycle. I know working nights doesn't help. I'm sure you will find your groove with SS around!
@KawaiiKitsune - sorry to hear about CD1 - good luck this cycle!

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Nothing. Started taking OPKs today, but was negative (not that I was surprised).

What are you doing to get pregnant?: temping/charting, SEX
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Well, I had my breakdown today for about an hour. Today, a friend of mine who has been struggling TTC with me for the past year told me she's pregnant. I was so happy while we were together. Then, on my way home, I broke down. I let someone else's success and joy get me down. Luckily, I was able to think about all the great things the ladies on this page say: Her success doesn't have any bearing on my own. So, thank you to all of you who continue to keep my thoughts grounded in reality. I'm back to myself now.
GTKY: This one's hard. I like that I'm really handy. I can build, fix, figure things out pretty easily.

What are you doing to get pregnant?: now that we feel better (we were sick for over a week) we are back to having sex EOD. Prenatals (even though I am still in the process of finding one that doesn't make me dry heave), temping, etc.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I hate my long cycles and I hate that I keep second guessing myself about taking Provera or not. At this point I might as well just wait around for my body to do things on it's own... but kind of wanted to get the hsg done before another school year starts.
GTKY: Since we had some mean things said to us yesterday I think we need a moment to reflect on something good about ourselves. So what is something you love about yourself?I am very aware of my personal strength. I have been through a shit storm and always fight through it and make it out better in the end. I have people that literally tell me all the time "I couldn't have done it."
