Re: WTO Monday
CD: 1
WAYDTGKU: temping, CM, pnv, sex ED starting around CD10
R/R/CS: Yay! It's my new cycle! Seriously, though. MH and I were apart basically all last cycle so it wasn't going to happen. So excited to be back in the game. I've debated calling yesterday CD1, but things didn't start until 6 pm and it wasn't a lot, so I'm calling it today.
GTKY: If someone gave you $1,000,000 today tax-free what would you do with it? Sit on it for a long time to figure out what to do with it. (So boring, sorry).
CD: 16
WAYDTGKU: Everything except OPKs and CP
R/R/CS: Well, I can definitely see the value of temping, as if I listened to the conventional wisdom, I would think I already o'd and have no idea I still have a chance. Definitely no temp spike, in fact today was one of the lowest temps yet.
GTKY: If someone gave you $1,000,000 today tax-free what would you do with it?
Sorry for the boring response, but half would go into Vanguard index funds, half would go to paying off the mortgages we have on our 3 houses and then buying as many more as we could in cash. Then we'd both quit our jobs and be landlords/stay at home parents.
CD: 16
WAYDTGKU: Temping, OPKs, CM, CP, sex
R/R/CS: If I have one more reasonably high temp, FF will give me CH for CD14. It's nice to be back to "normal" after ovulating late last cycle.
If one more person posts a question about how coming off of BC is going to affect their cycle, I'm going to lose it. Multiple threads about it on the first page are not enough? You need to add one more?
GTKY: If someone gave you $1,000,000 today tax-free what would you do with it? First, pay off my and DH's student loans and other debt, buy our forever house (putting down a hefty down payment), put the rest away for college.
CD: 12
WAYDTGKU: Temping, OPKs, PNV, preseed, sex ED for hopefully only a couple more days
R/R/CS: I have O'd on CD 13 the last two months, and have DH totally on board with good timing for that, but still getting negative OPKs all over the place over here. Hoping they get darker soon.
GTKY: If someone gave you $1,000,000 today tax-free what would you do with it? Good question! I would pay off debt, make some improvements to my house then either sell it or rent it out, put a nice down payment down on our dream house, furnish it, take a nice vacation or two, give our parents and sisters some, donate some, and save the rest.

R/R/CS: Had a positive OPK yesterday so thinking O day is either today or maybe tomorrow - CM isn't really showing any indication that I'm close but who knows. HIO all week to make sure we cover our bases.
GTKY: If someone gave you $1,000,000 today tax-free what would you do with it?
Invest! We would maybe go on a nice luxury trip but most would go into the markets.

WAYDTGKU: Everything. Confession - I used 5 OPKs yesterday - what a loser, I literally couldn't pee without dipping a stick in it. Today I will be better.
R/R/CS: This is my last week in my old job so feeling excited and a new pizza place just opened up near work so the girls and I just had pizza for lunch and it was 50% off!! Great day so far.

@chrlyr I am no expert, but I agree that chart is looking good!
@sldp123 you're welcome to join us in landlord-land, but your response sounds nicer; you're sharing with relatives, and I'm over here like, "Build the real estate empire Muahahaha!"
@babymish If we all get our hypothetical million, I'll hire you to decorate my houses, too. I have the interior design skills of a cactus. The only reason I can do our current rentals is because they are intentionally neutral.

R/R/CS: I got a new rose gold iPhone this weekend. Still getting used to the size (I had a 5s before).
GTKY: If someone gave you $1,000,000 today tax-free what would you do with it? Pay off our debt, buy 2 new cars. Take a sick Disney cruise with our families. Hire a trainer to lose weight/get fit. Not sure if we would pay off the house, but prolly would pay enough to get rid of PMI. Help my parents with their debt. Donate some to a charity that I worked with. Meet with a financial planner on how to handle the rest.

WAYDTGKU: Just temping and checking CM, will start OPKs sometime this week
R/R/CS: Had a potluck with friends last night, which was fun.
GTKY: If someone gave you $1,000,000 today tax-free what would you do with it? Pay off our mortgage and student loans, buy another house, give my parents some money to pay off their mortgage, travel, then donate and save the rest.
CD: 8
WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, OPKs, PNV, Sex
R/R/CS: Just waiting around for FW to get here. Tried my first OPK yesterday, and even though it was negative, it was a bit of a rush. I think it's going to be dangerous to have all of those cheap HPTs! Had some spotting after sex again last night, glad I have my doctor's appointment tomorrow but kind of nervous to find out if anything might be wrong.
GTKY: If someone gave you $1,000,000 today tax-free what would you do with it? The boring stuff... pay off DH's student loans and car, sell my car and buy a new one, pay off our mortgage, probably sell our house and buy our forever house. Or wait on the house and save for retirement/college funds for future kiddos. Man, not having debt would be amazing!
It's a boy!
CD: 10
WAYDTGKU: Everything but opks.
R/R/CS: I'm probably halfway through my WTO, based on past cycles. So that's exciting. And we are going to look at a couple houses today, so I'm looking forward to that.
GTKY: Buy land and build a house.
CD: 10
WAYDTGKU: Temping, OPK, Pre-Seed, PNVs, CM/CP checks...starting the EOD BD tonight until ovulation (which will hopefully be Thurs or Fri, I really hope)
R/R/CS: Temp dipped this morning, which last month meant O day for me, but I think I was just cold today. Glad to be at the start of FW!
GTKY: If someone gave you $1,000,000 today tax-free what would you do with it? Pay off debts, go on a really nice vacation, buy a new car, save the rest.
CD: 10
WAYDTGKU: sexy times, CM, temping
R/R/CS: this is the first "normal" cycle since m/c back in early October so we finally have the green-light to ttc again. Feeling those O cramps coming on so I think it'll be soon!
GTKY: If someone gave you $1,000,000 today tax-free what would you do with it?
I would pay off all our debt, buy another car, buy our dream house, spend a little on fun stuff and save the rest.
CD: 15
WAYDTGKU: PNV, OPK, BBT, CM, EOD
R/R/CS: Attention crew: we have EWCM. I repeat: we have EWCM. All hands on deck! Man your battle stations!
GTKY: We would pay off my parents' mortgage, give a couple thousand to each of our 3 siblings, buy something nice for his parents, pay off all our debt ($70k in student loans, vomit), use some toward a down payment on our own house, set aside some for vacation, then split the rest between charity, savings, and investing. Oh! And get a second dog
ETA: Missed a part of my WAYD.
CD: 15
WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, CP, OPK, ED this week
R/R/CS: I had my parents and H's mom over yesterday for MIL's birthday, so I didn't get a chance to pee on any sticks, but I'm fairly sure I'm ovulating today. Not to be one of those magical people who "just know" but CM and CP is right and TMI but my vulva gets all hot and bothered and swollen when I ovulate and all signs point to yes. I got a lil' something last night and I'm bringing steaks home today to get H in a good mood.
GTKY: If someone gave you $1,000,000 today tax-free what would you do with it? Sell our house and open a bed and breakfast someplace with ocean and mountains. Between H's great money/accounting skills and my marketing/baking/hostessing skills I think we'd kill it, but we're not brave enough to quit our jobs and follow our dreams at this point in our life.
Month/Cycle: 3/3 (After a year and a half NTNP)
CD: 4
WAYDTGKU: OPKs, Pre-Seed, CM/CP checks, charting
R/R/CS: AF just left so I'm glad about that. I'm "in the mood" so bad when I have AF but can't do too much about it grrr! Plus DH is on a rotating night shift and I work all day so half the we don't even get to do anything. :-( Looking forward to BD time!!!
GTKY: If someone gave you $1,000,000 today tax-free what would you do with it?
I would buy us a house (we're in an apartment and it's annoying when the people above you let their alarm clock go off at all hours of the night for who knows how long before they shut it off, and it gets better, said alarm clock plays BASS VIBRATIONS that you can FEEL in your bed all the way below them!). Then pay off student loans, get a new car, nice "honeymoon" vacation (because we didn't get a honeymoon when we got married), then save the rest for the future.

WAYDTGKU: Sex, hope, luck! lol
R/R/CS: I believe that I may be ovulating sometime this week based on the horrible signs my body gives me. My cycles have been anywhere from 36-46 days lately, so it seems about right. Not temping, just charting, so only time will really tell.
GTKY: If they gave it to me today, I would quit my job and go on an extended vacation. Even though I love my job, Monday really just makes me hate everything.
CD: 13
WAYDTGKU: Everything
R/R/CS: Either I O'ed super early or I had a fever this morning b/c my temp spiked way up. I think I was running a fever b/c I haven't been feeling great.. I really hope that is it because we only BD yesterday.
GTKY: If someone gave you $1,000,000 today tax-free what would you do with it? Pay off DH's student loans and then save the rest probably.

R/R/CS: Someone please chart stalk me. I can't tell if I ovulated or not and, if so, what day. If I put in a high temp for tomorrow, I get dotted CH on CD 13, even though I didn't get EWCM until CD 14. If I put in two more high temps, I get solid CH for CD 15, even though I fo sho had sticky CM that day. What do you guys think?

R/R/CS: Still no sign of AF. I am going to start taking Provera. I am picking the prescription up after work tonight. I am still on the fence about the Clomid. I emailed the nurse about the doctor monitoring it, but I haven't heard back yet. It's like pulling teeth trying to get answers out of them about this stuff.
GTKY: If someone gave you $1,000,000 today tax-free what would you do with it? Pay off my mortgage, buy new cars for both my husband and I (since our cars are 10 and 7 years old), treat our families to a lavish vacation, and put a lot of it into savings and start a college fund for future kids.

CD: 18... Nope 19!
WAYDTGKU: sex, temping, OPKs, Preseed
R/R/CS: well, I turned the advanced opk to "peak" last night and my temps came way back up this morning (almost matching the last fake out peak), so I'm hoping I'm ovulating today or tomorrow. Also BD last night was stressful and almost a failure, but DH and I had a good talk and then successfully HIO. Hopefully next cycle won't be necessary, but if it is, at least it might go better?
Bonus Rave/LOL moment: yesterday (before the updated advanced opk), I was trying to convince DH that he needed to come back from the office early enough to BD and said that I was certain I hadn't O'ed yet. When he said he didn't know what that meant, I gave him the five second break down of what it means and what the chances are each month. His reaction was a classically endearing, "how the hell does anyone accidentally get pregnant then?!"
GTKY: If someone gave you $1,000,000 today tax-free what would you do with it?
I'd buy a second car so we weren't sharing, try to convince H's co-founders to let us put half in the current investment round for the start-up so we had more shares of the company, and then the remaining bit ($400,000 or so) I'd probably put into a down payment and savings.

Pay off our MASSIVE student loans, put a solid down payment on a house, and start a college fund for DS. Ugh can this happen for real?!

WAYDTGKU: Still waiting for AF to leave. Temping to get into the habit.
R/R/CS: My temps dropped yesterday and today so wondering if that's normal during AF? Spent a lot of the weekend reading TCOYF and being kind of appalled that I didn't know SO MUCH about my body.

Also, she's going to make us tacos for dinner tonight while DH and I are working! YES!
