WAYDTGKU: waiting, taking my vitamins and supplements, resolved to go back to eating low-GI to try and shorten my folicular phase
R/R/CS: None
GTKY: What is your hidden talent? l'm pretty good at BSing. Not sure if that's something I should be proud of or not. At work I have to talk a lot about other people's research and I pick up on lingo and technical terms pretty quickly so I can sound like know what I'm talking about when I don't actually really understand any of it!
WAYDTGKU: half-assed charting, cutting back caffeine, PNVs, OPKs eventually
R/R/CS: So happy AF is finally gone. I had the longest AF I think ever, but I'm ready to start HIO
GTKY: What is your hidden talent? I'm an alright public speaker. I'm pretty introverted in social events or one-on-one conversations, but give me a mic and a topic I'm passionate about and I can do pretty well, especially with teens and middle school kids. I'm also good at doing a presentation like that without much prep time.
I've been silent for a couple months, been going through the TTC Blues. I know we all go through this. I feel like everyone I know is pregnant. Literally 9 of my friends are pregnant right now.
Month/Cycle: 6/ 7
CD: 11
WAYDTGKU: BD EOD. Trying to eliminate stress all around
R/R/CS: not temping anymore. I was getting too anxious over it. So I'll move to TWW when I THINK I've O'd. Probably around CD 17. It's all guessing for me now. I have an appointment in about 2 weeks to talk about options to help. Nothing too serious, but just something to help me ovulate. I've had a couple cycles where my temp was so erratic that I am fairly confident they were anovulatory cycles.
GTKY: What is your hidden talent? I'm pretty darn crafty and well known for repurposing! In a good way, not the "turning an old milk carton into a plant holder" kind of way lol but more of the picket fence into a little girls head board type
R/R/CS: temp spike(ish) this morning lining up with my OPKs so I'm reeeeally hoping yesterday was O day because it would by far be our best timing yet. Will keep HIO but Oh please please have been O
WAYDTGKU: I think there is something wrong with my thermometer. And taking vitamins, both me and DH! Yay for healthy
R/R/CS:
GTKY: What is your hidden talent? Wedding photography. Shhhh. I work in finance, but I spent 10 years as a photograoher. It was a huge part of my life, but now I usually only photograph one a year, so hardly anyone knows about it!
R/R/CS: not much here. Rainy day here in Indiana which brings out the migraines in me.
GTKY: What is your hidden talent? Nothing i can think of.
Is been another sulking day, so sorry for avoiding the bump today. But trust me, I'm just being annoying today.

meal train after birth
WAYDTGKU: Stupid AF needs to leave. BBT. CM. Preseed. BD EOD.
R/R/CS: I am with all of you whose friends suddenly pop up out of nowhere, who are pregnant without really trying. 6 mos of trying is technically not a long time, but it is forever in my little TTC world....
GTKY: What is your hidden talent? Making up songs for my dogs and cat that make my husband laugh really hard. Judge me if you must, we enjoy it.
GTKY: What is your hidden talent? Not that these are "hidden" but yall don't know lol I'm a closet musician and I'm working on becoming fluent in sign language. Something people who know me don't know is that I can curse like a sailor lol but I don't
WAYDTGKU: temping, cm, I'll start using the opks in another day or two
R/R/CS: So I know there was a whole thread on this a few days ago, but to me, WTO is so much worse than TWW! Like, right now, there's really nothing I can do, and I know I'm not pregnant right now, and I don't know how long I have to wait to O, and ugh. Just ugh.
GTKY: What is your hidden talent? I don't know. I'm a decent singer, not excellent, but I can carry a tune. And like @Evil_Maleficent I can shape my tongue into a clover, lol

Rant/rave/chart: nothing; just enjoying life and preparing for Halloween. Mom's night with my 3.5 year olds class mom's, should be fun . Glad I can drink!!
Hidden talent: playing piano I guess? Or being ridiculously good at math drunk? Lol.
@megstervt you can check if its sperm or CM by dropping it into water. Sperm will dissolve and CM will lump up. I am not sure I would ever drink from that cup tho
I remembered that when I was in the bathroom without a cup. Probably going to do that later and then burn that cup
*qbf*
I literally lol'd at this because it reminded me of something that happened at work. ***possibly tmi*** I was checking cm - it looked EWCM but I wouldn't tell for sure so I left the stall with a little sample on tp to test it in water at the sink. I mean, I NEED to know when it's EWCM right? The whole time I was praying a coworker wouldn't walk in and ask what the heck I was up to. I think I've been ttc for too long haha

**hugs** I know it can be difficult to deal with that many pregnant friends. FX your time is near.
WAYDTGKU: Temping, OPK, Preseed, no caffeine, prenatals....
R/R/CS: This is my first month temping and I think I suck at it. My sleep is not condusive for charting whatsoever but maybe FF will prevail despite this? My CM is watery so that's a good sign I suppose...My cycles are typically longish (36-37 days) and I went through a chemical pregnancy a few weeks ago so I have no idea what to expect.
GTKY: What is your hidden talent? Reading my dog's every want and need? Ha.
WAYDTGKU: Temping, charting all the things, starting OPKs Thursday probably. Sex EOD from now until I'm sure I've O'd.
R/R/CS: My CM is getting more translucent (though still sticky) so things seem to be moving along already. Maybe I should start OPKs sooner than I planned! On a totally separate note, I bought a toy today that I would want to put in a nursery, one of those nice high-quality wooden bead "maze" things... I haven't told DH yet and he's gonna think I'm nuts. My thinking is, it's rated 24 months and up, so if we aren't KU by the time my best friend's kid is 2 (she's KU right now) I'll give it to her so it doesn't just sit in a closet forever.
GTKY: What is your hidden talent? I tend to show off all my talents, lol. I've gotten pretty speedy at loom knitting and not really talked about it much, but this year everyone is getting hats for Christmas/Hanukkah so it's not going to be hidden for long!

Well here is to something sightly positive.. I got a faint line on an opk today. I know it isn't positive but to know where I may be in my cycle helps. So I know I haven't O'd yet. Or I guess I think. Feel life I'm getting sick so I am sure it's going to mess up my temping.
