R/R/CS: I'm so over WTO, note to body - join me won't you?
GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever?
I asked a question I can't properly answer as I can't think of a trend I miss, but harem pants should get out and stay out, people look like they are wearing nappies.
R/R/CS: @babymish I'm with you on being over WTO. My body is showing all signs of O (CM and O pains) but no temp shift and no positive OPK yet.
GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever? I would love 90's grunge to come back. I was too young to really enjoy it the first time. I wish anything acid wash would go away once and for all. I though it would never reappear after the 80's but it seemed like it was everywhere this summer!
R/R/CS: I had a small temp spike this AM!! So this maybe a little TMI- Last night we BD'd and you could tell neither of us were into it. It was the 1st time that it felt like a chore that neither of us wanted to do. Part of me is praying that this temp spike continues tomorrow bc I can't BD like that again. If I did O yesterday, our timing would be pretty great though -3,-1 and 0.
GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever? I am not really a trend gal. I know that I hated bell bottom jeans though lol
34 Mother of 4 year old and 2 Labs. Happily Married to my Hubs of 6 years.
R/R/CS: so I had some like very light patches of EWCM the last couple days, but I typically have them multiple times a month. My last 2 cycles off Mirena have been 45+ days with no ovulation so I was not even testing OPKs cuz i assumed i shouldn't bother til later. So of course today I have a temp spike. I'm just gonna assume my temp will go back down like it has been and not that I've actually ovulated at the typical time of the month.
Oh and I locked my keys in the car at the train station.
GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever? I wish flared jeans would come back. I wish colored jeans would stay gone.

GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever? Humm I'm so unfashionable this is hard for me. I'm over the crop tops. Wish those would go away (may now that it's cold?) as for what should come back I'm at a loss
WAYDTGKU: Temping, OPKs, PNV, preseed, sex as much as possible until O
R/R/CS: Still waiting to O. I was really hoping today was the day, but another negative OPK this morning says otherwise.The past two months, I've O'd early (CD13) and we were caught off guard, plus DH was sick one month, so our timing sucked. This month we were prepared and had a plan, and now my body isn't doing what it's supposed to do. We have been HIO since like CD10, but I posted about some issues we had the other day. We talked and things are better, but if this show could get on the road, that would be great.
On a better note, I made an appointment with an RE for December since we may have a possible MFI issue. Plus I am 34, and I feel like that is close enough to 35 to warrant seeking treatment after six months anyway. The RE didn't require a referral and said they didn't have any "rule" about how long you have to be trying on your own or anything like that, and they could get us in, so I figured I might as well get the ball rolling. Of course the hope is that this cycle will work out and I can cancel, but I feel better knowing that we have a plan in place if it's not our month.
GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever? I'm not a trendsetter by any means, but I think those high-waist shorts are pretty bad.

@msdidonato I'm with you on the BD'ing. We do not typically BD ED or EOD at all, so it's painfully obvious that we are doing this because we have to. I don't mean to say that it's not enjoyable, but it's definitely feeling more like a chore.

In other news, I'm off work the rest of the week! I had a couple of vacation days I needed to use before the end of the year, so I scheduled a long weekend because I had to have a break before I went crazy.

@pretzel2plus1 - I'm the same, although I was blissfully unaware that I hadn't ovulated until AF came when I thought I was 4DPO and someone dutifully pointed out that my chart was a crock of sh!t and I hadn't actually O'd.
So now I am a little anxious that my body will work properly and I will O and my temps will go up. The anxiety probably isn't helping
R/R/CS: Another high temp today so I'm thinking CH by tomorrow with possible O day on Tursday. So FX things work out because I think our timing is pretty good.
GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever? I don't have a fad/trend that I want to come back, but I do wish society would "dress up" when leaving the house (similar to the 30's and 40's) I do wish the whole Uggs with mini skirts would stay away for good. If it's 80 degrees there is no reason to wear Uggs.
WAYDTGKU: vitamins, temping, CM, sex ED from CD 9 or 10
R/R/CS: Trying to go with the flow. I don't feel like we're on cycle five; we had one with okay timing, one with great timing, one with no timing and one anovulatory. So really I feel like we're 0 for 2. Anyway, with my short LP (9) and AMA, I figure I'll give it four more cycles of good timing before looking to an RE. I just don't want to get ahead of myself.
GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever? Agree with pps - yeah to bootleg jeans and nay to crop tops!
WAYDTGKU: I guess I better start OPKs and having some sex.
R/R/CS: I have creamy CM that's a bit stretchy... (we haven't had sex in a couple of days).
GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever? I'm not a fan of bell bottoms, as a short person. And I think "boyfriend jeans" are hard to pull off without looking sloppy unless you look like a model.
@MEA0320 Good shout on the 30's 40's style. People used to look amazing all the time. If you watch a fashion era trend flick through video it's a little disappointing to see how shabby we have become compared to then.
R/R/CS: This week my clients keep telling me about how they got pregnant, how their pregnancies were, and how labor was..and of course ask when/if I want kids. I try to keep my private life away from my clients due to the type of work also no one in family knows we are trying so why would I tell clients. It's just been super frustrating because it seems like all they are talking about this week. Sorry random rant over...
GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever? I agree that crop tops should go away. I have no idea what should come back though.
WAYDTGKU: OPKs, Temping, charting, checking CM/CP, BD EoD. Ya know, all the things.
Rant: So I woke up to temp this morning fully expecting a nice spike since I was pretty certain I'd ovulated CD12. Temps went up yesterday but it wasn't one of those huge spikes where you're like "that's definitely ovulation!" It was more of a "that's probably ovulation. That's a bit high for pre-O but I would have liked to see a bigger spike." But no, my temp dropped back to what would be the coverline this morning. I keep telling myself that I could have ovulated and this is a fallback rise since those aren't uncommon at 2DPO but... ugh. DH and I actually have decent BD timing if I ovulated CD12. Now he's burnt out on sex and isn't having any of it. So I really really hope I ovulated already. Otherwise our BD timing is really going to be terrible this cycle.
GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever? I'm not sure what I wish would come back. Like everyone else I wish crop tops were gone. And super short shorts. I can't be the only person who would like to be able to wear shorts without feeling completely indecent. Also, the naked dress trend needs to go. I recently went to a wedding where about half the female guests where wearing the naked dress trend. Nope. Call me old fashioned but I think any style with "naked" in the title probably shouldn't be worn to a wedding.

R/R/CS: seems like all my friends that were struggling to get KU did this month, happy for them but I'm still waiting. Hoping this month will be it, have an appt with a RE in December. If we get it this cycle it would be an awesome Xmas present for sure! Oh and today is my 30th bday!!
GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever? Hmm not sure which trend I want to come back but the trend of high waisted shorts with the butt cheeks hanging can go!!
Expecting baby #1 August 2016
Already have three furbabies- Blake, Sydney, and Chester
R/R/CS: AF has left! I'm feeling good about this cycle.
GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever? I miss how facebook used to be mostly good stuff. Now, 90% of my newsfeed is ads, politics and unoriginal shares. I've noticed that I'm happier on days that I don't check facebook. But I can't bring myself to delete it entirely because there is still some good stuff in there.
WAYDTGKU: Temping, OPK, Pre-Seed, I thought we were doing SMEP but I suspect I'm ovulating a day early, so BD a few times during FW.
R/R/CS: My temp plummeted this morning and I have a + OPK, which if it means the same thing as last month, today is O day. Husband will be home from his overnight work thing this afternoon, so we missed -1, but hopefully we'll still catch it. Got -3 and -2...I guess we'll see.
GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever? For comfort, not fashion: I miss oversized sweatshirts and knit, not skin tight leggings. And Wigwam socks. I the 80s. I would like sagging to stop. I feel like a grouchy old lady because I always want to yell, "PULL YOUR PANTS UP!"
WAYDTGKU: Benched for a week, but still BBT, OPKs, and of course PNV
R/R/CS: Feeling a lot better today, starting to move past the crazy incident. Still took the day off today to recover more. Now that I'm feeling better, I'm back to being bummed that we can't have sex for a week (from Tuesday). FX that I somehow ovulate later than usual, but considering that last month my cycle was 25 days, it seems unlikely. Temp was still low today though and no positive OPK yet. Oh well, at least I can hopefully learn from this month. Plus, it had to be done, the doc said that she would not want me to get KU with the polyp because it would cause me to bleed randomly and freak out the entire pregnancy. Plus, it may have been big enough to impair being able to get KU. So trying not to be too bummed and just remind myself that we were originally going to start trying in the new year, so we're still ahead of schedule lol.
GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? I really like bellbottoms! They made a brief comeback when I was in middle school and I loved wearing them. I'm a total hippie at heart! Which do you feel should stay gone forever? Those bikinis that are trendy right now... you know, the ones that are basically thongs and you can see the girls whole ass. It's a bit much...

GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever?I think I'm at the weird age where I don't really like what's "in style" anymore.

R/R/CS: My temp jumped from 97.48 to 97.99 today, and with the strong positive OPKs & other signs I'm thinking I O'd yesterday. HIO this morning just in case... and also just because I wanted to.
GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever? I wish the more tailored, fitted look would come back. This loose flowing 70's thing does nothing for my figure and I have the hardest time finding anything to buy. And I'm with @AndiPandi27 on the sagging. And WTF is up with sagging + double boxers?!?!
WAYDTGKU: Right now just waiting for AF to leave. She came with a vengeance this time around
R/R/CS: I'm really excited to be temping and using OPKs this cycle. Is that a weird thing to be excited about? I'm really interested to learn what's going on with my body. I was telling DH about temping last night and was like "you can learn all that, from taking your temperature every morning?" Right! It's pretty amazing. As for rants, not TTC related but I was in line at Starbucks this morning and this lady thought if she drove around the store she could just sneak into the line right in front of me. Then she proceeded to honk her horn at me when I wouldn't let her in. Crazy person, go wait in line like everyone else!
GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever? I really hate rompers. I have yet to see anyone they look flattering on. I can't really think of anything I really wish would come back. I'm mostly a jeans and t-shirt girl so I don't typically follow anything super trendy.

@babymish Thanks!! Fx for you too. I feel bad even complaining, I mean I'm on CD15. I know I'm very lucky to have pretty short and somewhat predictable cycles (knock on wood). It's just that every day I'm prepared for 'tomorrow' to be O day, and it's not happening.

@sldp123 I hear you- last cycle I Oed on CD19 and the month prior was CD14. I spent a whole week thinking "Temp spike will be here tomorrow." "Okay, tomorrow." "No really, tomorrow."
WAYDTGKU: PNVs, BBT, Preseed, figuring out about CM and CP this cycle, BD EOD.
R/R/CS: My temp went up almost a half a degree today but I temped over an hour earlier than normal and after my head had been under my blankets for like 20 minutes while DH got ready for his early day at work. FF already tagged it as a weird temp. Also, not SS, just annoyed. I've had this nagging cramp on my right side when I'm laying down. I may have a tiny bit of a pulled muscle. I'm annoyed by it. ALSO, I had a customer come in who I had never met or talked to this morning... He asked "so how's your life? When are you getting married? Expecting any kids soon?" Sir, I have literally never seen you before in my life. Kindly GTFO. Is it just me, or is that a really rude question??

GTKY:
What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should
stay gone forever? I feel way too out of fashion at the moment to answer this question.
WAYDTGKU: Temping for now until AF leaves and checking CM after that. Also going to try to commit to at least EOD starting on CD10 just in case.
R/R/CS: So far I'm doing better this cycle of temping at the same time. I'm hoping that'll give me a clearer temp spike than last month. I'm also hoping I do better at interpreting CM this month since I was pretty unsure last cycle.
GTKY: I love looking at fashion from the '40s, so it'd be cool to have some of those elements come back. And as for what should go, pretty much any trend that was popular in the '80s. The '80s was probably the worst fashion decade ever.
R/R/CS: RANT - This is my first cycle temping and I'm starting to get annoyed with it all. H hates that the thermometer beeps and wakes him, and I can't hear it beep so I have no idea if it actually registered and just kinda have to guess (I'm deaf). I also wake up frequently throughout the night, making it hard to time taking my temp. I feel like the only thing I've learned so far since starting to temp is that I'm a horrible sleeper! I will finish out this cycle, but I'm not sure I'm going to stick with it for the next one. My chart is so rocky and all over the place and I'm not sure I really believe what the thermometer/FF/chart is telling me anyway, making the whole thing seem pointless. I might need some encouragement to stick with it or tips to make it easier.
GTKY:
What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should
stay gone forever? I definitely wouldn't mind more flannel in my life, but everything else from the 90s should stay there!
WAYDTGKU: Femara, trying temping for the first time this month
R/R/CS: So since I had a baby 14 months ago, my belly never went back to looking normal (kind of a long story, but I think mostly due to diastasis recti plus I have Polycystic Liver and Kidneys that seems to maybe have gotten worse with pregnancy), so I am often congratulated on a pregnancy, asked when I am due, etc. I am finding this so hard to take and now that we are TTC again, it's even harder! A week and a half ago someone asked me when I am due and it was on the same day AF disappointingly showed up! Bad timing. Then last night again someone asked me how far along I am. I just want people to stop assuming I am pregnant! Or go ahead and assume behind my back, please, but not to my face.
GTKY: I am totally with those of you who said you would like a return to dressier times! I work at home currently and am the worst for wearing yoga pants and looking like a slob all day long, even when I have to run errands. How is DH supposed to be attracted to me and BD EOD?? Today I had an appointment this morning so I put on makeup and a skirt for the hell of it. As for which trends I wish would go away, I would say all the too short stuff that leaves nothing to the imagination. I'm tired of getting flashed all the time.

My last 2 cycles off Mirena have been 45+ days with no ovulation so I was not even testing OPKs cuz i assumed i shouldn't bother til later. So of course today I have a temp spike. I'm just gonna assume my temp will go back down like it has been and not that I've actually ovulated at the typical time of the month.
Oh and I locked my keys in the car at the train station.
GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever? I wish flared jeans would come back. I wish colored jeans would stay gone.

R/R/CS: same thing here @Bookhousegirl - lots of EWCM yesterday, but temp is staying about the same and opks are super faint. Hoping I O soon. Until then
GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever? Humm I'm so unfashionable this is hard for me. I'm over the crop tops. Wish those would go away (may now that it's cold?) as for what should come back I'm at a loss
CD: 15
WAYDTGKU: Temping, OPKs, PNV, preseed, sex as much as possible until O
R/R/CS: Still waiting to O. I was really hoping today was the day, but another negative OPK this morning says otherwise.The past two months, I've O'd early (CD13) and we were caught off guard, plus DH was sick one month, so our timing sucked. This month we were prepared and had a plan, and now my body isn't doing what it's supposed to do. We have been HIO since like CD10, but I posted about some issues we had the other day. We talked and things are better, but if this show could get on the road, that would be great.
GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever? I'm not a trendsetter by any means, but I think those high-waist shorts are pretty bad.

R/R/CS: My temp was less than 0.1 of a degree lower this morning, and FF took away the CHs. This makes much more sense.
In other news, I'm off work the rest of the week! I had a couple of vacation days I needed to use before the end of the year, so I scheduled a long weekend because I had to have a break before I went crazy.

GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever?
I don't have a fad/trend that I want to come back, but I do wish society would "dress up" when leaving the house (similar to the 30's and 40's)
I do wish the whole Uggs with mini skirts would stay away for good. If it's 80 degrees there is no reason to wear Uggs.

WAYDTGKU: vitamins, temping, CM, sex ED from CD 9 or 10
R/R/CS: Trying to go with the flow. I don't feel like we're on cycle five; we had one with okay timing, one with great timing, one with no timing and one anovulatory. So really I feel like we're 0 for 2. Anyway, with my short LP (9) and AMA, I figure I'll give it four more cycles of good timing before looking to an RE. I just don't want to get ahead of myself.
GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever? Agree with pps - yeah to bootleg jeans and nay to crop tops!

WAYDTGKU: I guess I better start OPKs and having some sex.
R/R/CS: I have creamy CM that's a bit stretchy... (we haven't had sex in a couple of days).
GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever? I'm not a fan of bell bottoms, as a short person. And I think "boyfriend jeans" are hard to pull off without looking sloppy unless you look like a model.

WAYDTGKU: CM, Sex when able (will be ED in FW)
R/R/CS: This week my clients keep telling me about how they got pregnant, how their pregnancies were, and how labor was..and of course ask when/if I want kids. I try to keep my private life away from my clients due to the type of work also no one in family knows we are trying so why would I tell clients. It's just been super frustrating because it seems like all they are talking about this week. Sorry random rant over...
GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever? I agree that crop tops should go away. I have no idea what should come back though.
DS1 -- 9/30/2016

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, Temping, charting, checking CM/CP, BD EoD. Ya know, all the things.
Rant: So I woke up to temp this morning fully expecting a nice spike since I was pretty certain I'd ovulated CD12. Temps went up yesterday but it wasn't one of those huge spikes where you're like "that's definitely ovulation!" It was more of a "that's probably ovulation. That's a bit high for pre-O but I would have liked to see a bigger spike." But no, my temp dropped back to what would be the coverline this morning. I keep telling myself that I could have ovulated and this is a fallback rise since those aren't uncommon at 2DPO but... ugh. DH and I actually have decent BD timing if I ovulated CD12. Now he's burnt out on sex and isn't having any of it. So I really really hope I ovulated already. Otherwise our BD timing is really going to be terrible this cycle.
GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever? I'm not sure what I wish would come back. Like everyone else I wish crop tops were gone. And super short shorts. I can't be the only person who would like to be able to wear shorts without feeling completely indecent. Also, the naked dress trend needs to go. I recently went to a wedding where about half the female guests where wearing the naked dress trend. Nope. Call me old fashioned but I think any style with "naked" in the title probably shouldn't be worn to a wedding.

R/R/CS: seems like all my friends that were struggling to get KU did this month, happy for them but I'm still waiting. Hoping this month will be it, have an appt with a RE in December. If we get it this cycle it would be an awesome Xmas present for sure! Oh and today is my 30th bday!!
GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever? Hmm not sure which trend I want to come back but the trend of high waisted shorts with the butt cheeks hanging can go!!

R/R/CS: AF has left! I'm feeling good about this cycle.
GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever? I miss how facebook used to be mostly good stuff. Now, 90% of my newsfeed is ads, politics and unoriginal shares. I've noticed that I'm happier on days that I don't check facebook. But I can't bring myself to delete it entirely because there is still some good stuff in there.

WAYDTGKU: Temping, OPK, Pre-Seed, I thought we were doing SMEP but I suspect I'm ovulating a day early, so BD a few times during FW.
R/R/CS: My temp plummeted this morning and I have a + OPK, which if it means the same thing as last month, today is O day. Husband will be home from his overnight work thing this afternoon, so we missed -1, but hopefully we'll still catch it. Got -3 and -2...I guess we'll see.

WAYDTGKU: Benched for a week, but still BBT, OPKs, and of course PNV
R/R/CS: Feeling a lot better today, starting to move past the crazy incident. Still took the day off today to recover more. Now that I'm feeling better, I'm back to being bummed that we can't have sex for a week (from Tuesday). FX that I somehow ovulate later than usual, but considering that last month my cycle was 25 days, it seems unlikely. Temp was still low today though and no positive OPK yet. Oh well, at least I can hopefully learn from this month. Plus, it had to be done, the doc said that she would not want me to get KU with the polyp because it would cause me to bleed randomly and freak out the entire pregnancy. Plus, it may have been big enough to impair being able to get KU. So trying not to be too bummed and just remind myself that we were originally going to start trying in the new year, so we're still ahead of schedule lol.
GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? I really like bellbottoms! They made a brief comeback when I was in middle school and I loved wearing them. I'm a total hippie at heart! Which do you feel should stay gone forever? Those bikinis that are trendy right now... you know, the ones that are basically thongs and you can see the girls whole ass. It's a bit much...
It's a boy!

We just get soooo sleepy at night, and my mom is with us, and she wakes up early, so it's awkward. I usually start to feel friskier as O approaches, so maybe it will get better.

GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever? I wish the more tailored, fitted look would come back. This loose flowing 70's thing does nothing for my figure and I have the hardest time finding anything to buy. And I'm with @AndiPandi27 on the sagging. And WTF is up with sagging + double boxers?!?!

WAYDTGKU: Right now just waiting for AF to leave. She came with a vengeance this time around
R/R/CS: I'm really excited to be temping and using OPKs this cycle. Is that a weird thing to be excited about? I'm really interested to learn what's going on with my body. I was telling DH about temping last night and was like "you can learn all that, from taking your temperature every morning?" Right! It's pretty amazing. As for rants, not TTC related but I was in line at Starbucks this morning and this lady thought if she drove around the store she could just sneak into the line right in front of me. Then she proceeded to honk her horn at me when I wouldn't let her in. Crazy person, go wait in line like everyone else!
GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever? I really hate rompers. I have yet to see anyone they look flattering on. I can't really think of anything I really wish would come back. I'm mostly a jeans and t-shirt girl so I don't typically follow anything super trendy.

R/R/CS: My temp went up almost a half a degree today but I temped over an hour earlier than normal and after my head had been under my blankets for like 20 minutes while DH got ready for his early day at work. FF already tagged it as a weird temp. Also, not SS, just annoyed. I've had this nagging cramp on my right side when I'm laying down. I may have a tiny bit of a pulled muscle. I'm annoyed by it. ALSO, I had a customer come in who I had never met or talked to this morning... He asked "so how's your life? When are you getting married? Expecting any kids soon?" Sir, I have literally never seen you before in my life. Kindly GTFO. Is it just me, or is that a really rude question??

WAYDTGKU: Temping for now until AF leaves and checking CM after that. Also going to try to commit to at least EOD starting on CD10 just in case.
R/R/CS: So far I'm doing better this cycle of temping at the same time. I'm hoping that'll give me a clearer temp spike than last month. I'm also hoping I do better at interpreting CM this month since I was pretty unsure last cycle.
GTKY: I love looking at fashion from the '40s, so it'd be cool to have some of those elements come back. And as for what should go, pretty much any trend that was popular in the '80s. The '80s was probably the worst fashion decade ever.

WAYDTGKU: Temping & PNV & so much sex
R/R/CS: RANT - This is my first cycle temping and I'm starting to get annoyed with it all. H hates that the thermometer beeps and wakes him, and I can't hear it beep so I have no idea if it actually registered and just kinda have to guess (I'm deaf). I also wake up frequently throughout the night, making it hard to time taking my temp. I feel like the only thing I've learned so far since starting to temp is that I'm a horrible sleeper! I will finish out this cycle, but I'm not sure I'm going to stick with it for the next one. My chart is so rocky and all over the place and I'm not sure I really believe what the thermometer/FF/chart is telling me anyway, making the whole thing seem pointless. I might need some encouragement to stick with it or tips to make it easier.
GTKY: What fad/trend do you wish would come back? Which do you feel should stay gone forever? I definitely wouldn't mind more flannel in my life, but everything else from the 90s should stay there!

WAYDTGKU: Femara, trying temping for the first time this month
R/R/CS: So since I had a baby 14 months ago, my belly never went back to looking normal (kind of a long story, but I think mostly due to diastasis recti plus I have Polycystic Liver and Kidneys that seems to maybe have gotten worse with pregnancy), so I am often congratulated on a pregnancy, asked when I am due, etc. I am finding this so hard to take and now that we are TTC again, it's even harder! A week and a half ago someone asked me when I am due and it was on the same day AF disappointingly showed up! Bad timing. Then last night again someone asked me how far along I am. I just want people to stop assuming I am pregnant! Or go ahead and assume behind my back, please, but not to my face.
GTKY: I am totally with those of you who said you would like a return to dressier times! I work at home currently and am the worst for wearing yoga pants and looking like a slob all day long, even when I have to run errands. How is DH supposed to be attracted to me and BD EOD?? Today I had an appointment this morning so I put on makeup and a skirt for the hell of it. As for which trends I wish would go away, I would say all the too short stuff that leaves nothing to the imagination. I'm tired of getting flashed all the time.
