R/R/CS: Pretty sure I O'ed yesterday. Had all the clues and a temp spike today. Hopefully the next few temps will confirm it! Chart is below if anyone wants to CS! Also, we had an amazing Sunday. Literally stayed in pjs all day. Didn't go outside once! Watched Netflix all day! Master of None, Kimmy Schmidt, Peaky Blinders. Fantastic day! Is it bad we wanted to stay out of the HEAT! It is so hot and humid here right now! So gross!
GTKY: (stolen from yesterday's TWW since it was a hit) What is the last thing DH/SO did that made you smile? Whenever he gets dressed for work and comes out of the bathroom I am always like "oh!

R/R/CS: DH and I went to his family's Christmas party on Saturday and I was asked 3 times in 5 hours when DH and I were going to have a baby -_- I almost lost my shit. The first time I changed the subject and sipped more wine. The second time I just got up and poured another glass of wine. The third time I went to the bathroom and let a few tears come out.
GTKY: (stolen from yesterday's TWW since it was a hit) What is the last thing DH/SO did that made you smile? Yesterday DH asked me why I was being so quiet on the way to his parents. I had a headache and told him this and he said to me, "Sorry beebs, baby doll, love, love of my life, most beautiful person in the world". It was so sweet

Well other than my rant, he taught L to blow raspberries while eating. So he now gets covered in baby food.

R/R/CS: I keep forgetting to temp. I got out of the habit and plan on starting back up for this cycle but every morning I wake up and go about my routine and haven't temped once yet! Yikes. Need to get it together!
GTKY: (stolen from yesterday's TWW since it was a hit) What is the last thing DH/SO did that made you smile? Stayed up late cleaning the house Saturday night while I worked. We were having people over Sunday and even though he had a long list of "fix-it" projects to do, he also did most of my long list of things to clean! I do most of the cleaning because we are under renovations and he does all of that so it was really a treat!
WAYDTGKU: Temping, OPKs, PNV, hopefully sex before I O
R/R/CS: DH has his SA today so we were not able to HIO all weekend. I will probably O in the next few days, hoping it holds off until at least Wednesday or Thursday so we have a decent chance. My last cycles I have O'd as early as CD13 but as late as CD16 so fx this month is on the later side. At least if it ends up being early, that means CD3 will be here sooner than later so I can have my blood work done.
GTKY: (stolen from yesterday's TWW since it was a hit) What is the last thing DH/SO did that made you smile? Yesterday my hair dryer died in the middle of drying my hair, so when DH went to the store he bought me a new one as an early Christmas present. It's a nice one, too! The one I had been using was $9 at Walmart, lol.

R/R/CS: Not much going on- my anxiety is way down during the WTO, so not much to rant about. The last few days TTC has not been the main thing on my mind, so that's relaxing. I'll enjoy this until I enter the TWW.
GTKY: (stolen from yesterday's TWW since it was a hit) What is the last thing DH/SO did that made you smile?
Yesterday he basically forced me to buy a tablet for my PhD program. I didn't want to spend the money (even though this is going to be so helpful at school), but when I was in the bathroom he bought it lol I'm glad he did. It's amazing!
R/R/CS: I think I'm starting to get this temp thing down. My chart is starting to look pretty good, I think (feel free to CS). The best part of my weekend was that I officially finished all of my Christmas shopping AND everything is wrapped and placed nicely under the tree! Should be able to BD stress free next week.
GTKY: What is the last thing DH/SO did that made you smile? Hmm, I had my Christmas party last week and asked if DH could drop me off at the train station because I didn't want to drive. He drove past the train station and I asked where he was going and he said that he was going to drive me to work because he didn't have to be in until 11am. So, he drove 45 minutes out of his way so that I didn't have to sit on the train for an hour.
WAYDTGKU: PNV, and CM, CP, OPK's, and sex once AF vacates. I am taking a break from temping this cycle. I'll be traveling to another time zone for two weeks, andplusalso I want to just really enjoy our family time, and not "worry" about what my temps are doing. I hope I can still participate without too much judgement.
R/R/CS: Just your typical CD 2 stuff.
GTKY: This morning! He put a magnet on the back of my car that has dog paw prints on it and says, "Fleas Navidad"! He loves cheesy Christmas stuff.

GTKY: (stolen from yesterday's TWW since it was a hit) What is the last thing DH/SO did that made you smile? This morning we awoke to our first snow fall. When DH came back from dropping our son off at school DD and I ambushed him and covered him in snow, and a full snowball fight began. We played in the snow for over an hour and had a great time!! I love that he'll stop whatever he was doing just to enjoy playing with his family.
R/R/CS: Went to put my temp in this morning on FF, and my calendar now looks crazy. I still have green outlined fertile days coming up this week (projected fertile days), but today FF added solid green to the last three days. I'm confused what this means, and kind of freaking out that I may have missed half of my FW. Anybody else had this happen to them?
GTKY: What is the last thing DH/SO did that made you smile? We were getting ready for work this morning, and I was in the kitchen making my lunch, and DH was in the living room watching TV while eating cereal and I could hear him having a full on conversation with our cat, asking about what his plans were for the day. When I went into the living room to join them, DH and the cat were snuggled up on the couch together. I thought it was sweet.
R/R/CS: My OPKs are indicating that I can expect my LH surge in the next two days or so. I'm pretty jazzed. We're trying ED instead of EOD this time around, maybe that's our ticket. I had an open circle yesterday because of a hangover (higher temp) and an open circle the day before because of a 3 hour late (and higher) temp, and this morning FF tried to give me CH for Friday and I was like "Naw B." Today's temp is right back inline with my pre-weekend temps so I'm confident I didn't O. So I discarded the two wonky temps and she seems to have come back down to the real world.
GTKY: Recently I was dancing around the house in my underwear (as I'm wont to do) and I ran in front of the TV and turned around and told Mr.TL how nice my butt is (also as I'm wont to do). Then I asked him if that's why he married me, for my nice booty. We're both pretty goofy and sarcastic so I just expected a yes and then moving on with our days, but he said no and I made a sad face. Then he said "I married you because you're the most caring person I know, and not just to me but to everyone." And I was all AWWWWWWWW. *Melt*
@Lecool If you look at the legend it will tell you what all of the colors/outlines mean. The solid green days say actual fertile days, so I'm thinking it is giving you those because you tracked EWCM? But the outlined green days are still your projected fertile days, and the lighter green outline is your projected O date. I don't think you missed anything! Just keep HIO.
@severmilli2 Sorry about the comments, that is tough.
@HeyBooHey your chart link is just taking me back to this WTO thread? Not sure if it's just me or if the link is wrong.
DS: June 2008 Married: July 2015 BFP: 5/20/16 | EDD: 1/28/17 | Twin boys born 1/16/17
I know I already said I'm loving the stories today, but I want to point out that today's GTKY is perfect for dealing with Monday blues.
@Lecool Just adding onto what @sldp123 said: My calendar looks the same. The solid green shows for the yesterday and today because I had some fertile indicators, but I still show green outline for later this week, when FF assumes I'll actually O.
@severmilli12: Lots of hugs to you. You're stronger than I am. I probably would've said something rude and made them feel bad.
@severmilli2 I'm so sorry about all of the comments, that sounds miserable! I don't know what makes people think that is an appropriate question to ask. I know people are just curious, as am I sometimes, but I never actually ask because you don't know what is going on. After my cousin had her baby, I had several family members ask "doesn't that make you want to have one?" We had just started TTC, so internally I was like, umm yeah! But of course I couldn't say that, so I was all oh no not yet. I'm not sure what they expected me to say, really.
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD: 10
WAYDTGKU: PNV, BBT, OPKs, BD ED
R/R/CS: My rave is that it seems like I am finally recovering from being sick. The end is in sight (I hope)! I'm just excited to be in the "action phase" of TTC lol. Rather than just waiting I can use OPKs and BD and feel hopeful. I'm worried that I'm overly hopeful for this month, and it's going to be a rough end if I'm not KU, because AF is due on New Years Day. But I have to remember that whether I am hopeful or a total debbie downer, it won't actually have an impact on my likelihood of getting KU. So I might as well stay hopeful
GTKY: (stolen from yesterday's TWW since it was a hit) What is the last thing DH/SO did that made you smile? I love when he gets all snuggly with our furbabies, it warms my heart and makes me think about what a good dad he'll be!
WAYDTGKU: BD EOD beginning after AF and decided to actually seriously temp this month. Has anyone gotten better results temping vaginally?
R/R/CS: Just feeling very down. I'm disappointed with my body and, since I am a worst case scenario monster as well as a control freak, I have to consistently stop myself from feeling like there is something wrong with me and that it won't happen. My psycho lady brain keeps saying "if you've had plenty sex within your 'fertile window' for five cycles and nothing has happened then obviously something is wrong with you", even though I know that is completely irrational. Oh well, I guess hitting the 6th cycle this morning put me into a slump.
GTKY: (stolen from yesterday's TWW since it was a hit) What is the last thing DH/SO did that made you smile?
Since yesterday was my last day on TWW, I am just re-sharing mine with you ladies :-) My DH was talking the other night about a lot of the terrible things that he had to go through thanks to his parents as a kid and I mentioned how mad it makes me that he had to experience it. His response, " I don't regret any of it though, it made me a better father and a better husband to you because I know what I don't want to be like. Plus, if it didn't happen, I never would have met you. Until you I had nothing and didn't love anyone. Now I have all this, so it was worth it." Yep
@Lecool, the wet CM is what is causing the green days but your temps definitely don't indicate O yet so I don't think you've missed anything!
@shaami1986, I completely understand. We just finished our 6th cycle and I'm heartbroken. I know logically I shouldn't be but I'm scared and going to all sorts of negative places in my mind. We plan to BD ED this cycle starting art CD 10 regardless of CM and continue until after I get CH's. I'm distracting myself by planning different ways I can keep things sexy and fun for DH because I think he's feeling the pressure now too. Fingers crossed for you!
GTKY: (stolen from yesterday's TWW since it was a hit) What is the last thing DH/SO did that made you smile?
We were trying out couches at Macy's recently just for fun and he kept talking about how he can't wait to have a house to put a big couch in and a bunch of kids to fill the couch
@LizaKate1213 I'm not glad that you feel the same way, because it isn't fun, but I'm glad that I don't sound completely ridiculous saying that hitting cycle 6 made me feel that way. Its a weird struggle between the rational, logical, factual part of my brain and my emotions. I'm doing everything I can, being as healthy as possible, eating right, taking vitamins etc. Then, in my line of work (parole), I see people on a daily basis who are completely unhealthy, live in squalor, could care less about the children that they already have and seem to have no problem accidentally getting pregnant and I can't help but get insanely upset.
WAYDTGKU: First round of Clomid, sex EOD starting next week until AF. I have a history of getting multiple positive OPKs, fertile CM, etc throughout my cycle. This time I'm not f'ing around.....or maybe I actually am quite literally? Regardless, I'll be damned if I miss my fertile window this month.
R/R/CS: My mono is finally going away. I have had 3 fever free days in a row. I was SO worried it was going to screw up this month's chance at moving forward with Clomid, but doctor says I should be good.
GTKY: (stolen from yesterday's TWW since it was a hit) What is the last thing DH/SO did that made you smile? He is the best dad ever. He has pretty much been a single dad the last month while I have hardly been able to get out of bed. He never complains about any of it, he just loves having that one on one time with our daughter.
WAYDTGKU: BBT, I'd say HIO but we missed the whole last week due to traveling.
R/R/CS: I hate having long cycles. It's cycle day 27 and I'm still over here WTO. So frustrating.
GTKY: (stolen from yesterday's TWW since it was a hit) What is the last thing DH/SO did that made you smile?
Yesterday we drove back from visiting our parents (12 hour drive) And for the first part of the trip I was being a little crabby, mostly because I was tired and it was early. DH stopped to get some gas and then ran inside and brought me out some coffee! He knows me.

WAYDTGKU: Started to HIO on Saturday! I've been taking EPO (will stop after O) since I've never really seen ewcm, B50 complex, charting all the things, pre-seed
R/R/CS: I've been trying to use my previous months' charts to try to better predict what day O will be (I love the chart overlay feature in FF!). I was able to do this last month, but my temps started following their own pattern this month, so I'm clueless right now. *TMI* I just wanted to be able to better time al the sex (or just HIO every day this week), but as I'm already feeling a bit sore from yesterday and the day before, we have to take a break today and possibly tomorrow. Ugh. Stupid body. In the past O was on CD18 or 19, so hopefully it will hold off until Saturday or Sunday
GTKY: (stolen from yesterday's TWW since it was a hit) What is the last thing DH/SO did that made you smile? Ummmm, he's really just a sweetie all the time. For example, I wasn't feeling that well yesterday so I didn't get the Christmas decorations out, and then asked him at like 9pm if he could get our artificial trees out of the garage and set them up so we could decorate after work this week, and he did it! Even though he still needed to get ready for bed (and he gets up at 3:30 am). He's just a really good husband all the time.
R/R/CS: In my FW right now. We have a thing at our synagogue tonight and I can just see us being too tired to BD but I'm hoping I have the ingenuity to get it going. if not, we did the last two days and we can keep on keeping on the rest of the time but STILL I'm taking it as a challenge. Lol. Have EWCM out the ying so that's cool I guess. I couldn't sleep last night, had babies on the brain and it was driving me crazy. Does anyone on here wonder how the hell anyone gets accidentally pregnant? It blows my mind. Lol.
GTKY: (stolen from yesterday's TWW since it was a hit) What is the last thing DH/SO did that made you smile?
He has the most wonderful silly smile. It's not one for pictures, it makes his eyes almost close and it makes me able to see where crows feet will form on his face when we are old...laughing with him in bed, watching him smile just makes me want to kiss his cheeks and hold him forever and ever, he's just the most wonderful, sweet, kind person I've ever known and I'm so lucky to be married to him. -uglycrying-

GTKY: (stolen from yesterday's TWW since it was a hit) What is the last thing DH/SO did that made you smile? Watching him interact and play with my 3 year old son. He is such an amazing Dad.

R/R/CS: I only have 4.5 school days left until break and I am already in "break mode." DH and I decided on a staycation this weekend, so we have a hotel room. I'm hoping that the change in locale will continue to keep BD special. FX for a BFP around New Year's!
GTKY: (stolen from yesterday's TWW since it was a hit) What is the last thing DH/SO did that made you smile? DH is just wonderful. He does sweet things all of the time; I couldn't have asked for a better hubby. But the most recent was last night. We had spent the afternoon at my brother and SIL's house, decorating Christmas cookies with my family. My nephew was a total handful (he's 5), but DH and I both had a blast playing with C and wrestling around. DH was so good with him. When we got home, DH pulled me in for a BIG hug and said, "You were so good with C today. I know you're going to be an amazing mom. You're the most caring woman I know." My heart melted. I just adore him. I definitely hit the jackpot when we met.
@severmilli12 I'm sorry people kept asking you about babies at the xmas party. It came up once at the holiday block party we went to on Saturday, also. I told everyone we were still young, needed to save more money, and take more big trips, hoping it would buy more time before they start asking us again. *hugs* People just don't understand that it's not a nice question to ask.
@Lecool I think the Watery cm is throwing FF off it's game. Whenever I add fertile CM outside of actual fertile days, FF does not like.
@shaami1985 Sorry about CD1. I get those feelings a lot, too - but I have to keep reminding myself that there really is only a 20% chance of conception each month, even for healthy people. There was a gal on here who had well timed sex every single month, and she finally got her bfp in month 9. Her story, (while of course her fertility has no bearing on mine) still gives me a bit of hope that maybe it does just take some people longer for the stars to align, even when there is nothing wrong, and everyone is healthy. *hugs*
@dieforelle OMG, I have no idea how people get pregnant on accident! I tell DH at least 4 times a week, "I don't know why I was ever even on BC!" Super frustrating.
I know standard OPK protocol suggests that you hold your urine for 2-4 hours prior to testing to get an accurate result. What happens if I don't hold my urine but get a +OPK? Is that invalid? My assumption was that the holding of the urine and minimal drinking was to prevent diluting the LH in the urine, which could cause a false negative. So, if I POAS and it's a +OPK if I haven't held my urine, does that then mean the LH is strong enough to be picked up even when diluted, and is that an accurate +OPK?
And it's worth mentioning that I use the Dollar Tree OPKs and they do not give any instruction related to holding urine or to specific timing.
ETA: Because I'm doing multiple times a day testing to catch the start of my twee little LH surge, and this little stick is definitely positive. Definitely. I WILL CATCH YOU, SURGEY. YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM ME.
R/R/CS: Went in for my CD12 u/s today and it didn't go well. The follies are small, all under 10, and my lining is thin . Pretty sure I'm out this round. Going for another follie study on Friday, just to make sure they aren't late to the game, but pretty sure I'll be starting Provera Friday to induce AF. So, I'm sad today. This was our last round of Clomid, time to move on to the next drug...
GTKY: It's DH's birthday today! I felt so bad, us sitting in the doctor's office and having to hear the bad news. He's so amazing though! So supportive and would do anything for me. I was at a cookie exchange yesterday and when I came home he was steaming the floor, I couldn't believe it! That made me
@LittleMissTimeLord I think that the holding of urine is to prevent false negatives. If you aren't holding and are still getting a positive, I would assume that is valid and it possibly would have been even more positive (is that a thing?) if you had held for a longer time period.
DS: June 2008 Married: July 2015 BFP: 5/20/16 | EDD: 1/28/17 | Twin boys born 1/16/17
@dieforelle I definitely wonder how the hell some of these people get pregnant "accidentally" and it infuriates me! Myself and so many other ladies are doing everything to be healthy, working out eating well and taking vitamins, tracking down cervical positions and fertile mucus, taking temperatures and peeing on ovulation strips and timing sex as precisely as possible, which we know is a big turn on. I have to stop myself from feeling hateful or resentful when I seen women who are abusing drugs, getting arrested, in and out of jail, living an unhealthy lifestyle which I assume doesn't include prenatal vits or folic acid supplements, who don't care about the children they already have and just, whoops, get pregnant again.
@dieforelle I think that everytime I see a white BFN. And because I hate myself, last cycle I counted how many people I knew that got pregnant accidentally and gave up counting at 12...
You are like, the coolest bitch I don't know on the internet, don't hate yourself! But yeah it's absolutely mind blowing. I know I'm just in the first month, but like, the man and I have been solid EOD basically the whole cycle and it's just like "how in the world do oops babies exist."
@Shaami1986 It really is sad. That's why it's just frustrating when people are like "You'll get pregnant when you're ready," or whatever. It's so condescending and like "pretty sure that mom addicted to drugs wasn't ready. Just a thought." I know I'm only in my first month, but I've just been thinking about like, how disappointed I'll be NYE if I don't get a BFP, which is just nuts like...I'm in the first dang month of this! It's absolutely insane, so many feelings and complicated emotions go into this whole thing.

R/R/CS: AF has officially left the building so that is good. It is the next 4-5 days that are the worst of the cycle for me. We can start HIO I guess but I know it is too early. So.. Meh. Have I mentioned how much I loathe WTO?
GTKY: (stolen from yesterday's TWW since it was a hit) What is the last thing DH/SO did that made you smile? He kept making comments last TWW about how I was so scatter brained and wondering if I was SURE I wasn't KU? Even though I had a feeling it wasn't our month, it was cute that he was so hopeful.

WAYDTGKU: I was doing all the things, but H screwed it up.
R/R/CS: H threw away my thermometer. Some how 'L's thermometer died.' Meant my pink ended one on the other side of the house. So right now I can't do anything proactive.
GTKY: (stolen from yesterday's TWW since it was a hit) What is the last thing DH/SO did
Well other than my rant, he taught L to blow raspberries while eating. So he now gets covered in baby food.

WAYDTGKU: Waiting for AF to be on her way out
R/R/CS: I keep forgetting to temp. I got out of the habit and plan on starting back up for this cycle but every morning I wake up and go about my routine and haven't temped once yet! Yikes. Need to get it together!
GTKY: (stolen from yesterday's TWW since it was a hit) What is the last thing DH/SO did that made you smile? Stayed up late cleaning the house Saturday night while I worked. We were having people over Sunday and even though he had a long list of "fix-it" projects to do, he also did most of my long list of things to clean! I do most of the cleaning because we are under renovations and he does all of that so it was really a treat!
CD: 12
WAYDTGKU: Temping, OPKs, PNV, hopefully sex before I O
R/R/CS: DH has his SA today so we were not able to HIO all weekend. I will probably O in the next few days, hoping it holds off until at least Wednesday or Thursday so we have a decent chance. My last cycles I have O'd as early as CD13 but as late as CD16 so fx this month is on the later side. At least if it ends up being early, that means CD3 will be here sooner than later so I can have my blood work done.
GTKY: (stolen from yesterday's TWW since it was a hit) What is the last thing DH/SO did that made you smile? Yesterday my hair dryer died in the middle of drying my hair, so when DH went to the store he bought me a new one as an early Christmas present. It's a nice one, too! The one I had been using was $9 at Walmart, lol.

R/R/CS: Not much going on- my anxiety is way down during the WTO, so not much to rant about. The last few days TTC has not been the main thing on my mind, so that's relaxing. I'll enjoy this until I enter the TWW.
GTKY: (stolen from yesterday's TWW since it was a hit) What is the last thing DH/SO did that made you smile?
Yesterday he basically forced me to buy a tablet for my PhD program. I didn't want to spend the money (even though this is going to be so helpful at school), but when I was in the bathroom he bought it lol I'm glad he did. It's amazing!

WAYDTGKU: OPK, BBT, BD
R/R/CS: I think I'm starting to get this temp thing down. My chart is starting to look pretty good, I think (feel free to CS). The best part of my weekend was that I officially finished all of my Christmas shopping AND everything is wrapped and placed nicely under the tree!
GTKY: What is the last thing DH/SO did that made you smile? Hmm, I had my Christmas party last week and asked if DH could drop me off at the train station because I didn't want to drive. He drove past the train station and I asked where he was going and he said that he was going to drive me to work because he didn't have to be in until 11am. So, he drove 45 minutes out of his way so that I didn't have to sit on the train for an hour.

I'll be traveling to another time zone for two weeks, andplusalso I want to just really enjoy our family time, and not "worry" about what my temps are doing. I hope I can still participate without too much judgement.
R/R/CS: Just your typical CD 2 stuff.
GTKY: This morning! He put a magnet on the back of my car that has dog paw prints on it and says, "Fleas Navidad"! He loves cheesy Christmas stuff.

When DH came back from dropping our son off at school DD and I ambushed him and covered him in snow, and a full snowball fight began. We played in the snow for over an hour and had a great time!! I love that he'll stop whatever he was doing just to enjoy playing with his family.

WAYDTGKU: Temping, CM, HIO
R/R/CS: Went to put my temp in this morning on FF, and my calendar now looks crazy. I still have green outlined fertile days coming up this week (projected fertile days), but today FF added solid green to the last three days. I'm confused what this means, and kind of freaking out that I may have missed half of my FW. Anybody else had this happen to them?
GTKY: What is the last thing DH/SO did that made you smile? We were getting ready for work this morning, and I was in the kitchen making my lunch, and DH was in the living room watching TV while eating cereal and I could hear him having a full on conversation with our cat, asking about what his plans were for the day. When I went into the living room to join them, DH and the cat were snuggled up on the couch together. I thought it was sweet.

Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD: 13
WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPK, PNV, CM
R/R/CS: My OPKs are indicating that I can expect my LH surge in the next two days or so. I'm pretty jazzed. We're trying ED instead of EOD this time around, maybe that's our ticket. I had an open circle yesterday because of a hangover (higher temp) and an open circle the day before because of a 3 hour late (and higher) temp, and this morning FF tried to give me CH for Friday and I was like "Naw B." Today's temp is right back inline with my pre-weekend temps so I'm confident I didn't O. So I discarded the two wonky temps and she seems to have come back down to the real world.
GTKY: Recently I was dancing around the house in my underwear (as I'm wont to do) and I ran in front of the TV and turned around and told Mr.TL how nice my butt is (also as I'm wont to do). Then I asked him if that's why he married me, for my nice booty. We're both pretty goofy and sarcastic so I just expected a yes and then moving on with our days, but he said no and I made a sad face. Then he said "I married you because you're the most caring person I know, and not just to me but to everyone." And I was all AWWWWWWWW. *Melt*

WAYDTGKU: PNV, BBT, OPKs, BD ED
R/R/CS: My rave is that it seems like I am finally recovering from being sick. The end is in sight (I hope)! I'm just excited to be in the "action phase" of TTC lol. Rather than just waiting I can use OPKs and BD and feel hopeful. I'm worried that I'm overly hopeful for this month, and it's going to be a rough end if I'm not KU, because AF is due on New Years Day. But I have to remember that whether I am hopeful or a total debbie downer, it won't actually have an impact on my likelihood of getting KU. So I might as well stay hopeful
GTKY: (stolen from yesterday's TWW since it was a hit) What is the last thing DH/SO did that made you smile? I love when he gets all snuggly with our furbabies, it warms my heart and makes me think about what a good dad he'll be!
It's a boy!
Month/Cycle: 5/6

WAYDTGKU: BD EOD beginning after AF and decided to actually seriously temp this month. Has anyone gotten better results temping vaginally?
R/R/CS: Just feeling very down. I'm disappointed with my body and, since I am a worst case scenario monster as well as a control freak, I have to consistently stop myself from feeling like there is something wrong with me and that it won't happen. My psycho lady brain keeps saying "if you've had plenty sex within your 'fertile window' for five cycles and nothing has happened then obviously something is wrong with you", even though I know that is completely irrational. Oh well, I guess hitting the 6th cycle this morning put me into a slump.
GTKY: (stolen from yesterday's TWW since it was a hit) What is the last thing DH/SO did that made you smile?
Since yesterday was my last day on TWW, I am just re-sharing mine with you ladies :-) My DH was talking the other night about a lot of the terrible things that he had to go through thanks to his parents as a kid and I mentioned how mad it makes me that he had to experience it. His response, " I don't regret any of it though, it made me a better father and a better husband to you because I know what I don't want to be like. Plus, if it didn't happen, I never would have met you. Until you I had nothing and didn't love anyone. Now I have all this, so it was worth it." Yep
@shaami1986, I completely understand. We just finished our 6th cycle and I'm heartbroken. I know logically I shouldn't be but I'm scared and going to all sorts of negative places in my mind. We plan to BD ED this cycle starting art CD 10 regardless of CM and continue until after I get CH's. I'm distracting myself by planning different ways I can keep things sexy and fun for DH because I think he's feeling the pressure now too. Fingers crossed for you!

WAYDTGKU: First round of Clomid, sex EOD starting next week until AF. I have a history of getting multiple positive OPKs, fertile CM, etc throughout my cycle. This time I'm not f'ing around.....or maybe I actually am quite literally? Regardless, I'll be damned if I miss my fertile window this month.
R/R/CS: My mono is finally going away. I have had 3 fever free days in a row. I was SO worried it was going to screw up this month's chance at moving forward with Clomid, but doctor says I should be good.
GTKY: (stolen from yesterday's TWW since it was a hit) What is the last thing DH/SO did that made you smile? He is the best dad ever. He has pretty much been a single dad the last month while I have hardly been able to get out of bed. He never complains about any of it, he just loves having that one on one time with our daughter.

WAYDTGKU: Started to HIO on Saturday! I've been taking EPO (will stop after O) since I've never really seen ewcm, B50 complex, charting all the things, pre-seed
R/R/CS: I've been trying to use my previous months' charts to try to better predict what day O will be (I love the chart overlay feature in FF!). I was able to do this last month, but my temps started following their own pattern this month, so I'm clueless right now. *TMI* I just wanted to be able to better time al the sex (or just HIO every day this week), but as I'm already feeling a bit sore from yesterday and the day before, we have to take a break today and possibly tomorrow. Ugh. Stupid body. In the past O was on CD18 or 19, so hopefully it will hold off until Saturday or Sunday
GTKY: (stolen from yesterday's TWW since it was a hit) What is the last thing DH/SO did that made you smile? Ummmm, he's really just a sweetie all the time. For example, I wasn't feeling that well yesterday so I didn't get the Christmas decorations out, and then asked him at like 9pm if he could get our artificial trees out of the garage and set them up so we could decorate after work this week, and he did it! Even though he still needed to get ready for bed (and he gets up at 3:30 am). He's just a really good husband all the time.

WAYDTGKU: All the things. BD ED.

We have a thing at our synagogue tonight and I can just see us being too tired to BD but I'm hoping I have the ingenuity to get it going. if not, we did the last two days and we can keep on keeping on the rest of the time but STILL I'm taking it as a challenge. Lol. Have EWCM out the ying so that's cool I guess. I couldn't sleep last night, had babies on the brain and it was driving me crazy. Does anyone on here wonder how the hell anyone gets accidentally pregnant? It blows my mind. Lol.

GTKY: (stolen from yesterday's TWW since it was a hit) What is the last thing DH/SO did that made you smile? DH is just wonderful. He does sweet things all of the time; I couldn't have asked for a better hubby. But the most recent was last night. We had spent the afternoon at my brother and SIL's house, decorating Christmas cookies with my family. My nephew was a total handful (he's 5), but DH and I both had a blast playing with C and wrestling around. DH was so good with him. When we got home, DH pulled me in for a BIG hug and said, "You were so good with C today. I know you're going to be an amazing mom. You're the most caring woman I know."

GTKY: It's DH's birthday today! I felt so bad, us sitting in the doctor's office and having to hear the bad news. He's so amazing though! So supportive and would do anything for me. I was at a cookie exchange yesterday and when I came home he was steaming the floor, I couldn't believe it! That made me

@dieforelle I definitely wonder how the hell some of these people get pregnant "accidentally" and it infuriates me! Myself and so many other ladies are doing everything to be healthy, working out eating well and taking vitamins, tracking down cervical positions and fertile mucus, taking temperatures and peeing on ovulation strips and timing sex as precisely as possible, which we know is a big turn on. I have to stop myself from feeling hateful or resentful when I seen women who are abusing drugs, getting arrested, in and out of jail, living an unhealthy lifestyle which I assume doesn't include prenatal vits or folic acid supplements, who don't care about the children they already have and just, whoops, get pregnant again.
