I'll start since I'm up so early with way too much caffeine in my system.
Month/cycle: 2/2
CD: 5
WAYDTGKU: Just waiting for AF to go away.
R/R/CS: DH keeps talking about wanting to have kids and looking up parenting facts and ideas. It's so exciting to see him like this. I think the TTC BSC has settled into my DH for good!
GTKY: Who is your favorite Youtuber or (if you don't follow Youtube) Internet celebrity?
Jenna Marbles has been my spirit animal for years now, as you can tell by all my gifs today lol.

Month/cycle: 6 For some reason cycle 6 is hitting me hard. I guess when I started in November I thought we'd be pregnant by now. Talk about wishful thinking.
CD: 2
WAYDTGKTFU: waiting for AF to get out
R/R/CS: The past 4 cycles I've ovulated on CD 15. I am hoping that's true this time too because I leave for a bachelorette party on CD 16. I also don't know if I'll be able to temp reliably so I don't know if I'll be able to confirm O this month.
GTKY: I used to love PhillyD but haven't watched him in over a year. Not sure why, one day I just stopped.
R/R/CS: I'm doing some offsite research today so that's exciting. I still have to send a couple reports after I'm done though. Then I need to do a few things around the apartment and some laundry.
GTKY: Who is your favorite Youtuber or (if you don't follow Youtube) Internet celebrity?
Haha, I don't know! I'm so out of it. I like grumpy cat.. does grumpy cat count as an internet celebrity?
@totororyinlove glad your DH is so excited about ttc! My DH is a little older than myself and he's pretty old school and does not like to discuss these things too much. I think he'll be different when I'm actually KU though.
@wineo929 FX that you O before you leave for the party! Sorry that cycle 6 is hitting you hard. *Hugs*
After a big dip yesterday and all O signs there was sorta a rise today? But as high as some temps earlier in my cycle...it's hard to tell. So I really don't know.
GTKY: Who is your favorite Youtuber or (if you don't follow Youtube) Internet celebrity?
I follow a girl called holistichabits....she's all about natural and organic products. It's refreshing to watch her! On the other hand I also guiltily watch trisha paytas...who I think is a train wreck but I watch to see what ridiculous thing is going to come out of her mouth next!
@TotororyInLove isn't it sweet when they want to be involved? I know DH really wants kids but he's not quite there yet
@wineo929 I hear you about thinking you'd be PG by now....after NTNP for a year I really thought so...fx for bfp this month!
@SandwichLover what kind of research do you do? Interesting!
Today is good Friday so I don't have to go to class... just snuggling in bed while DH snores beside me ^_^
Me: 27 // DH: 30 Married 05/21/2011 TTC Since Feb 2016 RE: Dec 2016 Dx: PCOS 5 rounds of Letrozole 5mg + Ovidrel + TI BFP!!!! June 2017 // EDD: 04/01/2018 IT'S A BOY!
R/R/CS: So happy it's the weekend! A lot of people are off today so it should be a slow day and the train is empty-ish so hopefully a seat to myself! #commutergoals
GTKY: Who is your favorite Youtuber or (if you don't follow Youtube) Internet celebrity? I don't follow any YouTube personalities consistently. I have done spurts where I will watch that Graveyard girl/Bunny cuz she does the "as seen on Tv"product reviews.
@vintageandrea90 I do genealogy. So today I'm visiting a vital records office, an archive, and a cemetery. I love this part of my job! Fx that you have oed, I'm never quite sure until a few days after either.
@megzb510 I know the rare joy of a train seat to myself too! I hope you get one!
WAYDTGKU: taking this month off from obsessing. Continuing pn and hio but no temping or opk's or stressing.
R/R/CS: so my mother in law signed my kid up for soccer at the ymca last year. She took her every Saturday. It was awesome. DD loved it. MIL asked if she could do it again for spring. Of course! She then messaged me and asked me to bring her cleats and shin guards. I told her that she never sent them back. She insisted she did and then "suggested" that I misplaced them because it was "during that time... So she would understand my forgetfulness" (meaning my miscarriage). She just texted me "oops. I have cleats and shin guards. Sorry."
Killing your MIL and then telling God she died is illegal in all 50 states, right?
GTKY: Who is your favorite Youtuber or (if you don't follow Youtube) Internet celebrity? I don't follow anyone on YouTube. I've never even watched that kind of stuff. And I couldn't name a single Internet celeb other than Jenna.... And that's only because someone else mentioned her first. I've seen a couple of her things but it's been years and years.
Mama to two perfect little girls. Lucy 07-13-11 Violet 03-13-14 Conceived #3 since September 2015 11-25-15 twelve week loss 07-21-16 ten week loss 10-03-16 5 week loss TTC again soon!
@jenmlangtake2 If you find a loophole for that MIL problem, let me know k? LOL. @Megzb510 FRIDAY!!!!! Fx for an easy commute! @vintageandrea90 Fx for a clearer pattern with a day or two more of temps, to confirm O! @SandwichLover LOVE grumpy cat. He totally counts. @wineo929 Sorry for the rough TTC day @TotororyInLove Yay for DH getting in on that TTC BSC! LOL
Month/cycle: 6/4
CD: 8
WAYDTGKU: PNV, CM, BBT, OPK, This cycle will start RRL
R/R/CS: Looks like AF is heading out the door! Thanks for all the Fx yesterday! She's still here but *TMI* only when I wipe. So I'm really happy about that! Not happy that my boss just walked in. I'm usually boss free in my office, so I'll probably not be on here so much today. BOO lol. Will try to come back later for comments!
GTKY: Who is your favorite Youtuber or (if you don't follow Youtube) Internet celebrity? Cian Twomey!
@wineo929 Sorry cycle 6 is hitting you so hard. Creepy internet hugs sent your way.
@SandwichLover Ooooh I'm currently working on a transcription of an oral history about vital statistics and public health in the early days, isn't it interesting? Also Grumpycat definitely counts!
@vintageandrea90 FX that you O'ed and also I love natural products, I'll have to check her out! P.S. I'm also guilty of looking up people like Tricia and binge-watching the ridiculousness. I think most men wait until it's sort of "final" or "real" to them before jumping all in (I think they don't want to be disappointed month to month).
@Megzb510 Haha I hope you have a good weekend and a short and comfortable train ride!
@jenmlangtake2 I think it's safe to say that MIL troubles are always horrible. I'm sorry you had to deal with that and it was a insensitive thing for her to say. It sucks that people attribute anything and everything to that one event and turn it into a way to patronize us.
R/R/CS: Batman v. Superman review: meh. I'm glad I didn't pay for it. In my opinion there were too many things that they tried to do and one of the plotlines wasn't even really resolved.
GTKY: Who is your favorite Youtuber or (if you don't follow Youtube) Internet celebrity? I watch quite a few, so it's hard to pick a favorite. I like DeFrancoFam and baby Trey is super adorable so I'll choose him lol.
I'm sorry, I swear I will stop with the Supernatural gifs someday. I am obsessed.
Posting and ghosting again and prob for the next week. So sorry!! I really love you all and will be back to responding as soon as I can. Work is insane....
Month/cycle: 4
CD: 6
WAYDTGKU: stuff
R/R/CS: I have to work on Good Friday. boo. But at least it's Friday. We've got over 90+ families on campus today for an open house program (we're a small campus, so that's a huge group for us) so I will be exhausted tonight. Cue me snoring on the couch by 8pm.
GTKY: Who is your favorite Youtuber or (if you don't follow Youtube) Internet celebrity?
I love Tyler Oakley!!!
He is adorable and over-the-top and I love him. He does a lot of suicide prevention awareness in the teen LGBTQ community and is just an advocate in general, but just does a lot of random videos about celebrities and other things. Love him. I also enjoy Wil Wheaton's youtube series "Tabletop," it's where my DH and I get a lot of ideas to try new games! (Fun fact--I bumped into Wil Wheaton at a gaming convention a few years ago!)
WAYDTGKU: pnv, sex EOD ish during FW, OPK, temping, cm
R/R/CS:
Got good news from the doc DH's SA is within normal values (maybe on the lower half of normal, but nothing to worry about). He said that the speed was a little slow (again, nothing to panic about). He was sure to clarify that it was not DH that was slow, but some of his sperm so I can't call him slow (damn... Stupid men teaming up). He recommended a vitamin (200 mg Co Q-10) that might help the speed, and certainly can't hurt.
For me he said that my progesterone is within normal levels, though he does like to see it a little higher. That combined with my super light and spotty periods led him to give me letrozole for the next cycle to help me ovulate stronger.
I am am so relieved that DHs SA was good . For now we will keep doing what we are doing, DH will take his slow sperm vitamins and we try the letrozole next cycle
on a side note... With our insurance the meds were really pricey... Seriously. I have to scrounge around in my purse for like a minute to find the total. It was a whole quarter lol. Yes, $.25 USD. Breaking the bank here lol. I literally slid a quarter across the counter.
GTKY: Who is your favorite Youtuber or (if you don't follow Youtube) Internet celebrity?
does the drunk kitchen girl count?
I also recently found out there was a hydraulic press channel where they just smash things with a press lol.
@wineo929 Sorry to see you over here too. Hugs. Cycle buddies?!
Month/cycle: 7/9
CD: 2
WAYDTGKU: AF for now. Going to get back on the exercise train this cycle. Also debating acupuncture. Really want to try it but also scared as I am very regular and don't want to jeopardize that.
R/R/CS: My rave today is that I got my blood results back from my physical and they were all very normal! It will be good to have that info for my annual with my OB in a few weeks when I bring up TTC. My rant is that I absolutely hate CD2.
GTKY: Who is your favorite Youtuber or (if you don't follow Youtube) Internet celebrity? Hmm I actually don't follow any internet celebrities. I like whatever couple does those song parodies. The watch me sip my Chardonnay-nay was pretty funny.
R/R/CS: had a talk with DH last night about what my detailed plan is from this next doctors appt. I hadn't told him much details before bc I never wanted to psych him out or anything. He's excited so that's a relief!
GTKY: Celeste Barber on Instagram is HILARIOUS. She remakes funny celebrity Instagram pictures.
@furbabymom2007 I was craaaacking up about your doctor defending your DH for not being slow! FX his slow sperm vitamins work!
Happy Friday, everyone! I'll be back around lunchtime with some responses!
Month/Cycle: 7/7
CD: 5
WAYDTGKU: BD EOD, PNV, diet, and exercise. I've also been thinking about adding Mucinex this cycle. I usually have very little to no CM, though...maybe I'll add EPO? I don't know.
R/R/CS: Not only is it Friday, but it's also a jeans day. My last two blocks of the day are taking a test, so I pretty much get to Bump all day today. I have less than 10 kids in both of those blocks, so it's super easy to proctor while they test. ALSO, I've been desperate for a haircut, and my hairstylist called yesterday to say that she has an opening tonight! WOOHOO! I'm thinking about doing something like this (the best part is that it's totally allowed for teachers at my school to do this):
GTKY: Who is your favorite Youtuber or (if you don't follow Youtube) Internet celebrity? Ummm...I don't really follow YouTube celebrities. I did enjoy Jenna Marbles for a while there, but I've gotten behind. I have several people I refer to when I need help with crochet patterns. If anyone is interested, let me know!
R/R/CS: Well, DH won & we're headed to the in-laws ALL WEEKEND. Not sure if I'll be able to jump on TB; so I hope you ladies have a lovely weekend ahead I'll stop by this afternoon for comments of course! Hope everyone has a great Easter & eats ALL OF THE FOOD hehe.
GTKY: Lindsey Stirling is the bomb dot com. She is a mix between classical/electronic music, ballet & fairy; what's not to like?!
Happy Friday! I will have to post and ghost today Sorry!
Month/cycle: 4/3
CD: 9
WAYDTGKU: Well HIO will commence this weekend, BBT, CM, stopping zyrtec
R/R/CS: Friday again! How did we make it through another whole week! I am so happy! Interested to see what my cycle will do this month....we shall see next week! I have been prepping DH for the upcoming "active" period hahahah Crossfit open tonight ( @Lecool I better hear how you do!), it is going to be a killer for sure. Friends in town, boat this weekend!!! Summer is almost here! DH is cleaning and organizing our garage today as well as planting new plants in the backyard (he is off for good friday). I honestly really lucked out in the DH department, he is so productive and always working on our house...
GTKY: Who is your favorite Youtuber or (if you don't follow Youtube) Internet celebrity?

R/R/CS: this is the first time my company is giving us good Friday off and my sons daycare is off too. It's so nice to have a day just me and DS so far he let me sleep til 8! And we went food shopping with only minimal cranky toddler so that's a win.
As for ttc now that AF is gone I am just ready for my fw come on!
GTKY: Who is your favorite Youtuber or (if you don't follow Youtube) Internet celebrity?
I don't really watch much YouTube unless I'm watching music videos.
Okay! Here's my first round of responses! Yay study hall! @TotororyInLove- Sounds like my DH. He's super excited about TTC, but I think it's more about BDing for him.
@wineo929- I call it the "6th Month Slump" of TTC. So sorry you're feeling down! ((hugs))
@SandwichLover- What kind of research? I wish I had gone into some kind of research; I really enjoy it!
@vintageandrea90- Do you have a chart? (Sorry if you've answered this a million times.) Sometimes my temps do a slow rise to O temps. But then again, almost every chart is different for me.
@Megzb510- I work in a public school, but there are a TON of teachers and students gone today. Our poor substitutes! They really should just give everyone a 4-day weekend for Easter.
@jenmlangtake2- So sorry about your MIL! She sounds like my MIL. Killing is illegal, but only if they find the body?
@mrsdaddario- I hate when my bosses show up in my classroom. It makes me feel micromanaged. However, after this year, not as many administrators in my office because I'll be tenured!
@britters314- Oh no! I have tickets for Batman V. Superman for tomorrow night! I've been looking forward to this for so long!
@kellybean1988- Never stop with the SPN gifs! I miss my days working in a private school only because we got so many days off. The school I used to work for was off yesterday and don't go back until April 4th.
@furbabymom2007 - glad you got some answers! I totally forgot about Drunk Kitchen! it!
@Sparty18 - Oh no! Boo CD2! So sorry to see you back over here, friend!
R/R/CS: I remembered to temp today! And we bd'd for fun this morning... what an idea!
GTKY: Who is your favorite Youtuber or (if you don't follow Youtube) Internet celebrity? This is a good question! I'm not into YouTube (like, as a channel), but I love the React videos (we'll ignore how hated the Fine Bros are right now). Favorite blogs I regularly read are Tom and Lorenzo, SmittenKitchen, and David Lebovitz.
I almost moved to NYC to work with Matt Stopera at Buzzfeed because I was so in love with everything he wrote... but this was in 2008 or so when Buzzfeed was new and kind of awesome. By 2011 it was a trash heap of a website and it's only gotten worse.
In another life I think I could marry Randall Munroe (xkcd).
Me: 36 | DH 35, Married 2007

WAYDTGKU: HIO, metformin, crossing my fingers and toes that I ovulate at some point.
R/R/CS: DH is such a trooper. He worked until midnight last night and still came home and HIO. I know he really wants this, which makes me happy, but also sad since my ovaries don't like to "lay eggs." The good news is I'm off today hanging with DS.
GTKY : I've gotta say I'm totally oblivious to Internet celebrities, other than you ladies, who are totes celebrities to me.
@BerkeBaby I know some people that really loved it. I'm typically pretty critical of movies and also I don't like Batman, so that may affect my opinion. Take my review with a grain of salt
@BerkeBaby I know some people that really loved it. I'm typically pretty critical of movies and also I don't like Batman, so that may affect my opinion. Take my review with a grain of salt
I LOVE Batman, but I will say that I was disappointed with Man of Steel. I didn't like the fact that Superman killed someone. Is that weird? I always had Superman on a pedestal, that he was better than that. I didn't like that they had him killing someone. However, I LOVE comic books and Batman, so when I saw they cast Ben Affleck as Batman, I had to see how he did!
WAYDTGKU: Charting, PNV, EPO, Mucinex, OPK, Pre-Seed, HIO whenever OH is in the same zip code
R/R/CS: So I've been considering acupuncture, and I got a call back from a local practitioner who is a fertility specialist. I guess because of my AMA, he wants to refer me out to someone else who is like a pregnancy whisperer or something. It turns out insurance won't cover it unless I'm getting treated for pain, and whisperers are apparently pricey. Long story short, I decided to put it off. I don't mind spending the money, but I have to get OH fully on board first.
GTKY: I don't follow anyone on Youtube or any internet celebrities, but it wouldn't surprise me if you guys turn me on to my next time suck
Me: 45 OH: 42 Beloved SS: born 12/2011 TTC my bio #1/our #2 since January 2016 **TW** June 2016 had CP **end TW** August 2016 - dx with DOR Somewhere in here received recommendation to do IVF with donor eggs, elected not to; OH dx with Low T May 2017 - began freezing sperm June 2017 - OH began treatment for Low T July 2017 - began doing 1 IUI via a midwife and 1 at home insemination each cycle http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6259ba July 2018 - exhausted frozen sperm, officially NTNP since OH is probably shooting blanks
@wineo929 I'm on cycle 6, CD 2 as well. I feel like that should mean something. It just means I'm sad, heh. Fx you can get a lot of HIO in before you leave!
@jenmlangtake2 that's such a thoughtless thing for your MIL to say. I'm glad she's doing such a nice thing for your DD though!
@furbabymom2007 I'm happy to hear about your DH's good results!!
@BerkeBaby I love the hair idea! I would absolutely do it if my job allowed 'unnatural' hair colors. My stylist and I are planning out a fun dip dye job for my 3 months at home if/when I do get pregnant. It can be cut off before I head back to work! We're leaning toward magenta.
Month/cycle: 6/6
CD: 2
WAYDTGKU: the things
R/R/CS: I'm thinking of more seriously looking into acupuncture. I could use the relaxation in any case.
GTKY: Who is your favorite Youtuber or (if you don't follow Youtube) Internet celebrity?
I honestly didn't realize that so many people follow YouTube people like this. It's a whole new world! I feel old. I really like Marnie the dog though!
On mobile because I'm moping around in bed but hugs to all having tough TTC days or just tough days in general. I keep seeing it so maybe I need to call my local acupuncturist. I'm lucky to have community acupuncture with really affordable prices.
Month/cycle: 2/2
CD: 8
WAYDTGKU: sex, OPKs, tracking CM
R/R/CS: I'm having a weird TTC morning. Oscillating between excitement over a new cycle, including planning out the what ifs of announcing and all that if we got KU this round. But on the other side I'm already anticipating disappointment and planning out what to start next month to better our chances. I don't want to temp as I believe it will drive me (and DH) truly BSC but I don't want to keep "shooting blind" either. Just feeling meh. Thankfully it's still early and my break has started so I have lots of time to wallow in my feelings and then get it together.
GTKY: Who is your favorite Youtuber or (if you don't follow Youtube) Internet celebrity? Kid Fury and Crissle. They're more podcast celebrities but Kid Fury started on YouTube. Just crass, hilarious, insightful commentary on pretty much anything.
I'm still excited to see it this weekend!! @BerkeBaby I agree - Superman went way out of character in Man of Steel. He killed Zod to save that family but probably killed a few hundred fighting in the city. I just tell myself it's a different take. No one can beat Christopher Reeve's Superman.
GTKY: Who is your favorite Youtuber or (if you don't follow Youtube) Internet celebrity? Currently I've been watching Pewdiepie because he's a combination of eye candy and ear candy.

You guys. The families have left our campus for the day and I feel like I got hit by a truck. Time to go home, put my PJs on, make myself a cocktail (or maybe just take a shot), sit on the couch, do some coloring, watch some TV, and SLEEP. Yay weekend!
Sorry I didn't get to respond to everyone! And I also love Lindsey Stirling SOOOOO much @thefarmerswife0411 !!! Everyone have a wonderful weekend
TTC January 2016 BFP May 17, 2016 DS born January 31st, 2017: Rory "Mac" MacKinnon
Ugh! My doctor's office is closed! They didn't tell me this morning when I called! They told me to try to call back. I have to wait until Monday to find out about my CD3 labs! I'm fuming!!
@BerkeBaby@RatParade I didn't know Superman killed someone in Man of Steel! I haven't seen that movie, but I've watched all of Smallville and I know a decent amount about the comics from my husband. I thought not killing was Superman's thing.
I am at home today and it is raining so I am wasting some
time on an actual computer. So instead
of being somewhat productive, I am going to try buymping on the real site
instead of mobile like I normally do. I always
feel so bad because I have such a hard time keeping up and commenting on
everything on mobile! So here I go…
@totororyinlove I’m
glad your DH is getting on board! Mine
is always so quiet about it, but when I ask him about it he says he is
excited. He is just always super
stoic. Even I have a hard time reading
him sometimes.
@wineo929 month 6
seems to hit a lot of people hard. Hang in
there!!
@mrsdaddario this is
my first time being able to see signatures since the bunnies showed up. Thanks in advance for the nightmares.
@britters314 we are
going to see deadpool tonight, but were debating between that and SvB. We figured that Deadpool won’t be out much
longer and is probablt worth seing in theaters so it won out. I really want to see zootopia and MBFGW2 but I
don’t NEED to see them on the big screen and will wait until they are available
on demand
@Kellybean1988 I have
today off, but its not because of the holiday.
I have every other Friday off and this just happens to be one of
them. But I ended up logging in from
home and doing a few hours of work anyways.
Good luck in your couch snoring by 8pm goal. I admire your ambition.
@sparty18 I am kind of
in the same boat with you on the acupuncture. I am not THAT abnormal, so I am afraid if I were
to try that it might hose something up.
@mokay19 I had the
same talk with DH the night before the appointment. I basically said… this is likely what is
going to happen and these are some of the terms that you are going to
hear. I didn’t want him getting
overwhelmed.
@berkebaby I’ve seen
that haircut before! It is sooooo
cool. I don’t think I am daring enough
to go for it though. And I had totally forgotten about drunk kitchen until I was
forced to think about it this morning! I
may have to go catch up now.
And yes, I am wondering where everyone else is too!! I am
finally on a damn computer instead of mobile and can contribute and there is no
one! Lol
oh there you are again... sorry it takes so long to get your CD3 labs! hopefully everything is normal anyways.
@thefarmerswife0411 I think the earlier episodes of Drunk
Kitchen are better than the later ones… but that’s ok. Its all still funny.
@zoey1019 Glad your DH is productive! Mine is sometimes… he has no issue doing the
yard… but things around the house won’t get done unless I do them myself. For example the framed baseball prints I got
him A YEAR ago are still leaning on the wall in the hallway.
@ladymillil good luck
with the IUI and sorry about the headache
@jedially85 wow! My dogs
don’t even let me sleep past 7!
@cjt121413 I’ll cross my toes for you as well. But I need my
fingers to type, so you’ll have to excuse those.
@aurora1973 good luck getting DH in the same xip code. Our first few cycles we were both traveling a
lot. It was tough… what am I supposed to
do, tell my boss that I or DH can’t travel because I am fertile and we need to
be having the sex that day. Yeah…. That would
work well.
@queensunscreen thanks! It was a huge relief! And there is no way that is a real dog…. That
has to be a stuffed animal….
@meilay I am sorry
you are having a tough day. I know that
my first few cycles, I got so excited. There
may or may not be various “announcement” type gifts for DH and family stashed
in my dresser…. Temping can be a
personal choice. IT doesn’t help you
control anything, but for me it helps to at least feel like I have a handle on
it. Hang in there
@ratparade I am woefully behind on all of the superhero
movies. Seeing deadpool tonight because
someone on here said I didn’t have to know anything about the superhero
world. We had only consider BvS because
DH was interested
Wow, that was hard!!
Many thanks to those of you who manage to respond to most everyone
everyday. It really makes me feel like
someone is paying attention
edited because there was a ton of spaces i didn't want
Seems like a slow day doesn't it? I've been MIA with traveling and the hotel charges for internet! Which is ridiculous....but I caved and paid it.
@totororyInLove I totally forgot about her, but have
definitely watched many of her videos. Hilarious. That's so nice that your DH
is looking up parenting information!
@Wineo929 Sorry this cycle is hitting you hard. 6 months is still normal, but I'm sure
knowing that doesn't make it any easier.
@Sandwichlover Grumpy cat is definitely an internet
celebrity.
@Jenmlangtake2 At least your MIL apologized, you came out on
top on that one. She still should have maybe looked for them before blaming you
on misplacing them!
@Aurora1973 Pregnancy whisperer! I bet they are expensive!
LOL
@Meilay Sorry you are having a weird TTC day. There are so
many emotions, thoughts, hopes, worries that come in to play with this.
Month/Cycle: 4/1

WAYDTGKU: PNV, still waiting for everything else.
R/R/CS: On "vacation". DH and I both have 5 days off with it
being a long weekend. Missing out on family Easter traditions but sorry, not
sorry. Left cold temps of -4 (24f?), bad weather, snow days and power outages
behind, drove 9 hours straight south and its been sunny and in the 20's (70's?)
since we've been here! Awesome!
GTKY: I don't have anyone that I follow on a regular basis. But I get drawn in
through facebook by Ellen and Jimmy Fallon. Usually one video turns into me
going to their channels and watching videos for hours.
Thanks everyone who responded! I only bump from my phone so it's really difficult to tag everyone. But thank you.
I am thankful that she willingly admitted she was wrong and apologized. It's definitely better than nothing. And I agree that maybe she wasn't really thinking.... But it was a text message. She had to type that out and proofread. Oh well. Water under the bridge. She is doing an awesome thing! DD absolutely loves it. And her Nana. That's what it's all about.

GTKY: Who is your favorite Youtuber or (if you don't follow Youtube) Internet celebrity?
I don't know if she counts as celebrity, but I follow the Nurshable blog on Facebook and she is so inspirational. I love everything she writes about her family. (Writes about gentle parenting.)

WAYDTGKU: Just waiting for AF to go away.
R/R/CS: DH keeps talking about wanting to have kids and looking up parenting facts and ideas. It's so exciting to see him like this. I think the TTC BSC has settled into my DH for good!
GTKY: Who is your favorite Youtuber or (if you don't follow Youtube) Internet celebrity?
Jenna Marbles has been my spirit animal for years now, as you can tell by all my gifs today lol.

@totororyinlove, my husband is obsessed with Jenna Marbles!
Month/cycle: 6 For some reason cycle 6 is hitting me hard. I guess when I started in November I thought we'd be pregnant by now. Talk about wishful thinking.
CD: 2
WAYDTGKTFU: waiting for AF to get out
R/R/CS: The past 4 cycles I've ovulated on CD 15. I am hoping that's true this time too because I leave for a bachelorette party on CD 16. I also don't know if I'll be able to temp reliably so I don't know if I'll be able to confirm O this month.
GTKY: I used to love PhillyD but haven't watched him in over a year. Not sure why, one day I just stopped.
edit: I forgot today is CD 2... Lol
Month/cycle: 4/4
CD: 9
WAYDTGKU: usual stuff
R/R/CS: I'm doing some offsite research today so that's exciting. I still have to send a couple reports after I'm done though. Then I need to do a few things around the apartment and some laundry.
GTKY: Who is your favorite Youtuber or (if you don't follow Youtube) Internet celebrity?
Haha, I don't know! I'm so out of it. I like grumpy cat.. does grumpy cat count as an internet celebrity?
@totororyinlove glad your DH is so excited about ttc! My DH is a little older than myself and he's pretty old school and does not like to discuss these things too much. I think he'll be different when I'm actually KU though.
@wineo929 FX that you O before you leave for the party! Sorry that cycle 6 is hitting you hard. *Hugs*

After a big dip yesterday and all O signs there was sorta a rise today? But as high as some temps earlier in my cycle...it's hard to tell. So I really don't know.
GTKY: Who is your favorite Youtuber or (if you don't follow Youtube) Internet celebrity?
I follow a girl called holistichabits....she's all about natural and organic products. It's refreshing to watch her! On the other hand I also guiltily watch trisha paytas...who I think is a train wreck but I watch to see what ridiculous thing is going to come out of her mouth next!
@TotororyInLove isn't it sweet when they want to be involved? I know DH really wants kids but he's not quite there yet
@wineo929 I hear you about thinking you'd be PG by now....after NTNP for a year I really thought so...fx for bfp this month!
@SandwichLover what kind of research do you do? Interesting!
Today is good Friday so I don't have to go to class... just snuggling in bed while DH snores beside me ^_^

GTKY: Who is your favorite Youtuber or (if you don't follow Youtube) Internet celebrity? I don't follow any YouTube personalities consistently. I have done spurts where I will watch that Graveyard girl/Bunny cuz she does the "as seen on Tv"product reviews.

WAYDTGKU: taking this month off from obsessing. Continuing pn and hio but no temping or opk's or stressing.
R/R/CS: so my mother in law signed my kid up for soccer at the ymca last year. She took her every Saturday. It was awesome. DD loved it. MIL asked if she could do it again for spring. Of course! She then messaged me and asked me to bring her cleats and shin guards. I told her that she never sent them back. She insisted she did and then "suggested" that I misplaced them because it was "during that time... So she would understand my forgetfulness" (meaning my miscarriage). She just texted me "oops. I have cleats and shin guards. Sorry."
Killing your MIL and then telling God she died is illegal in all 50 states, right?
GTKY: Who is your favorite Youtuber or (if you don't follow Youtube) Internet celebrity? I don't follow anyone on YouTube. I've never even watched that kind of stuff. And I couldn't name a single Internet celeb other than Jenna.... And that's only because someone else mentioned her first. I've seen a couple of her things but it's been years and years.

@vintageandrea90 Fx for a clearer pattern with a day or two more of temps, to confirm O!
@SandwichLover LOVE grumpy cat. He totally counts.
@wineo929 Sorry for the rough TTC day

WAYDTGKU: PNV, CM, BBT, OPK, This cycle will start RRL
R/R/CS: Looks like AF is heading out the door! Thanks for all the Fx yesterday! She's still here but *TMI* only when I wipe. So I'm really happy about that! Not happy that my boss just walked in. I'm usually boss free in my office, so I'll probably not be on here so much today. BOO lol. Will try to come back later for comments!
GTKY: Who is your favorite Youtuber or (if you don't follow Youtube) Internet celebrity?
Cian Twomey!
@SandwichLover Ooooh I'm currently working on a transcription of an oral history about vital statistics and public health in the early days, isn't it interesting? Also Grumpycat definitely counts!
@vintageandrea90 FX that you O'ed and also I love natural products, I'll have to check her out! P.S. I'm also guilty of looking up people like Tricia and binge-watching the ridiculousness. I think most men wait until it's sort of "final" or "real" to them before jumping all in (I think they don't want to be disappointed month to month).
@Megzb510 Haha I hope you have a good weekend and a short and comfortable train ride!
@jenmlangtake2 I think it's safe to say that MIL troubles are always horrible. I'm sorry you had to deal with that and it was a insensitive thing for her to say. It sucks that people attribute anything and everything to that one event and turn it into a way to patronize us.
@mrsdaddario everyone on TB today:

R/R/CS: Batman v. Superman review: meh. I'm glad I didn't pay for it. In my opinion there were too many things that they tried to do and one of the plotlines wasn't even really resolved.
GTKY: Who is your favorite Youtuber or (if you don't follow Youtube) Internet celebrity?
I watch quite a few, so it's hard to pick a favorite. I like DeFrancoFam and baby Trey is super adorable so I'll choose him lol.
I'm sorry, I swear I will stop with the Supernatural gifs someday. I am obsessed.
Posting and ghosting again and prob for the next week. So sorry!! I really love you all and will be back to responding as soon as I can. Work is insane....

WAYDTGKU: stuff
R/R/CS: I have to work on Good Friday. boo. But at least it's Friday. We've got over 90+ families on campus today for an open house program (we're a small campus, so that's a huge group for us) so I will be exhausted tonight. Cue me snoring on the couch by 8pm.
GTKY: Who is your favorite Youtuber or (if you don't follow Youtube) Internet celebrity?
I love Tyler Oakley!!!
He is adorable and over-the-top and I love him. He does a lot of suicide prevention awareness in the teen LGBTQ community and is just an advocate in general, but just does a lot of random videos about celebrities and other things. Love him. I also enjoy Wil Wheaton's youtube series "Tabletop," it's where my DH and I get a lot of ideas to try new games! (Fun fact--I bumped into Wil Wheaton at a gaming convention a few years ago!)

WAYDTGKU: pnv, sex EOD ish during FW, OPK, temping, cm
R/R/CS:
Got good news from the doc
For me he said that my progesterone is within normal levels, though he does like to see it a little higher. That combined with my super light and spotty periods led him to give me letrozole for the next cycle to help me ovulate stronger.
I am am so relieved that DHs SA was good
on a side note... With our insurance the meds were really pricey... Seriously. I have to scrounge around in my purse for like a minute to find the total. It was a whole quarter lol. Yes, $.25 USD. Breaking the bank here lol. I literally slid a quarter across the counter.
GTKY: Who is your favorite Youtuber or (if you don't follow Youtube) Internet celebrity?
does the drunk kitchen girl count?
I also recently found out there was a hydraulic press channel where they just smash things with a press lol.
Month/cycle: 7/9

WAYDTGKU: AF for now. Going to get back on the exercise train this cycle. Also debating acupuncture. Really want to try it but also scared as I am very regular and don't want to jeopardize that.
R/R/CS: My rave today is that I got my blood results back from my physical and they were all very normal! It will be good to have that info for my annual with my OB in a few weeks when I bring up TTC. My rant is that I absolutely hate CD2.
GTKY: Who is your favorite Youtuber or (if you don't follow Youtube) Internet celebrity?
Hmm I actually don't follow any internet celebrities. I like whatever couple does those song parodies. The watch me sip my Chardonnay-nay was pretty funny.

WAYDTGKU: Metformin, PNV, sex, OPKs, blah blah blah blah blah
R/R/CS: had a talk with DH last night about what my detailed plan is from this next doctors appt. I hadn't told him much details before bc I never wanted to psych him out or anything. He's excited so that's a relief!
GTKY: Celeste Barber on Instagram is HILARIOUS. She remakes funny celebrity Instagram pictures.

WAYDTGKU: BD EOD, PNV, diet, and exercise. I've also been thinking about adding Mucinex this cycle. I usually have very little to no CM, though...maybe I'll add EPO? I don't know.
R/R/CS: Not only is it Friday, but it's also a jeans day. My last two blocks of the day are taking a test, so I pretty much get to Bump all day today. I have less than 10 kids in both of those blocks, so it's super easy to proctor while they test. ALSO, I've been desperate for a haircut, and my hairstylist called yesterday to say that she has an opening tonight! WOOHOO! I'm thinking about doing something like this (the best part is that it's totally allowed for teachers at my school to do this):
GTKY: Who is your favorite Youtuber or (if you don't follow Youtube) Internet celebrity? Ummm...I don't really follow YouTube celebrities. I did enjoy Jenna Marbles for a while there, but I've gotten behind. I have several people I refer to when I need help with crochet patterns. If anyone is interested, let me know!

@TotororyInLove - Sounds like my DH. He's super excited about TTC, but I think it's more about BDing for him.
@wineo929 - I call it the "6th Month Slump" of TTC. So sorry you're feeling down!
@SandwichLover- What kind of research? I wish I had gone into some kind of research; I really enjoy it!
@vintageandrea90 - Do you have a chart? (Sorry if you've answered this a million times.) Sometimes my temps do a slow rise to O temps. But then again, almost every chart is different for me.
@Megzb510 - I work in a public school, but there are a TON of teachers and students gone today. Our poor substitutes! They really should just give everyone a 4-day weekend for Easter.
@jenmlangtake2 - So sorry about your MIL! She sounds like my MIL.
@mrsdaddario - I hate when my bosses show up in my classroom. It makes me feel micromanaged. However, after this year, not as many administrators in my office because I'll be tenured!
@britters314 - Oh no! I have tickets for Batman V. Superman for tomorrow night! I've been looking forward to this for so long!
@kellybean1988 - Never stop with the SPN gifs! I miss my days working in a private school only because we got so many days off. The school I used to work for was off yesterday and don't go back until April 4th.
@furbabymom2007 - glad you got some answers! I totally forgot about Drunk Kitchen!
@Sparty18 - Oh no! Boo CD2! So sorry to see you back over here, friend!

GTKY: Who is your favorite Youtuber or (if you don't follow Youtube) Internet celebrity?
This is a good question! I'm not into YouTube (like, as a channel), but I love the React videos (we'll ignore how hated the Fine Bros are right now). Favorite blogs I regularly read are Tom and Lorenzo, SmittenKitchen, and David Lebovitz.
I almost moved to NYC to work with Matt Stopera at Buzzfeed because I was so in love with everything he wrote... but this was in 2008 or so when Buzzfeed was new and kind of awesome. By 2011 it was a trash heap of a website and it's only gotten worse.
In another life I think I could marry Randall Munroe (xkcd).

R/R/CS: DH is such a trooper. He worked until midnight last night and still came home and HIO. I know he really wants this, which makes me happy, but also sad since my ovaries don't like to "lay eggs." The good news is I'm off today hanging with DS.
GTKY : I've gotta say I'm totally oblivious to Internet celebrities, other than you ladies, who are totes celebrities to me.
@thefarmerswife0411 good luck at the in laws, and happy Easter to you, too!
@Sparty18 glad to hear your blood test results were good.
@furbabymom2007 glad your results were good! So cute that doc was so sensitive to your DH'S feelings.

R/R/CS: So I've been considering acupuncture, and I got a call back from a local practitioner who is a fertility specialist. I guess because of my AMA, he wants to refer me out to someone else who is like a pregnancy whisperer or something. It turns out insurance won't cover it unless I'm getting treated for pain, and whisperers are apparently pricey. Long story short, I decided to put it off. I don't mind spending the money, but I have to get OH fully on board first.

July 2018 - exhausted frozen sperm, officially NTNP since OH is probably shooting blanks
@jenmlangtake2 that's such a thoughtless thing for your MIL to say. I'm glad she's doing such a nice thing for your DD though!
@furbabymom2007 I'm happy to hear about your DH's good results!!
@BerkeBaby I love the hair idea! I would absolutely do it if my job allowed 'unnatural' hair colors. My stylist and I are planning out a fun dip dye job for my 3 months at home if/when I do get pregnant. It can be cut off before I head back to work! We're leaning toward magenta.

R/R/CS: I'm having a weird TTC morning. Oscillating between excitement over a new cycle, including planning out the what ifs of announcing and all that if we got KU this round. But on the other side I'm already anticipating disappointment and planning out what to start next month to better our chances. I don't want to temp as I believe it will drive me (and DH) truly BSC but I don't want to keep "shooting blind" either. Just feeling meh. Thankfully it's still early and my break has started so I have lots of time to wallow in my feelings and then get it together.
GTKY: Who is your favorite Youtuber or (if you don't follow Youtube) Internet celebrity?
Kid Fury and Crissle. They're more podcast celebrities but Kid Fury started on YouTube. Just crass, hilarious, insightful commentary on pretty much anything.
Also, WHERE IS EVERYONE?!

WAYDTGKU: humpin'
R/R/CS: I'm bummed that Batman vs Superman has gotten such bad reviews (it's not just you @britters314). However, this made me crack up
I'm still excited to see it this weekend!! @BerkeBaby I agree - Superman went way out of character in Man of Steel. He killed Zod to save that family but probably killed a few hundred fighting in the city. I just tell myself it's a different take. No one can beat Christopher Reeve's Superman.
GTKY: Who is your favorite Youtuber or (if you don't follow Youtube) Internet celebrity?
Currently I've been watching Pewdiepie because he's a combination of eye candy and ear candy.

I am at home today and it is raining so I am wasting some time on an actual computer. So instead of being somewhat productive, I am going to try buymping on the real site instead of mobile like I normally do. I always feel so bad because I have such a hard time keeping up and commenting on everything on mobile! So here I go…
@totororyinlove I’m glad your DH is getting on board! Mine is always so quiet about it, but when I ask him about it he says he is excited. He is just always super stoic. Even I have a hard time reading him sometimes.
@wineo929 month 6 seems to hit a lot of people hard. Hang in there!!
@sandwhichlover grumpy cat is definitely a celebrity
@vintageandrea90 MY pre O temps are usually fairly high, so sometimes it is hard to tell. I always have to go by the dip I get before O. good luck!
@Megzb510 good luck getting that seat to yourself. You could always try coughing and sneezing as people get on so they avoid you
@jenmlangtake2 I am angry for you, if that helps
@mrsdaddario this is my first time being able to see signatures since the bunnies showed up. Thanks in advance for the nightmares.
@britters314 we are going to see deadpool tonight, but were debating between that and SvB. We figured that Deadpool won’t be out much longer and is probablt worth seing in theaters so it won out. I really want to see zootopia and MBFGW2 but I don’t NEED to see them on the big screen and will wait until they are available on demand
@Kellybean1988 I have today off, but its not because of the holiday. I have every other Friday off and this just happens to be one of them. But I ended up logging in from home and doing a few hours of work anyways. Good luck in your couch snoring by 8pm goal. I admire your ambition.
@sparty18 I am kind of in the same boat with you on the acupuncture. I am not THAT abnormal, so I am afraid if I were to try that it might hose something up.
@mokay19 I had the same talk with DH the night before the appointment. I basically said… this is likely what is going to happen and these are some of the terms that you are going to hear. I didn’t want him getting overwhelmed.
@berkebaby I’ve seen that haircut before! It is sooooo cool. I don’t think I am daring enough to go for it though. And I had totally forgotten about drunk kitchen until I was forced to think about it this morning! I may have to go catch up now.
And yes, I am wondering where everyone else is too!! I am finally on a damn computer instead of mobile and can contribute and there is no one! Lol
oh there you are again... sorry it takes so long to get your CD3 labs! hopefully everything is normal anyways.
@thefarmerswife0411 I think the earlier episodes of Drunk Kitchen are better than the later ones… but that’s ok. Its all still funny.
@zoey1019 Glad your DH is productive! Mine is sometimes… he has no issue doing the yard… but things around the house won’t get done unless I do them myself. For example the framed baseball prints I got him A YEAR ago are still leaning on the wall in the hallway.
@ladymillil good luck with the IUI and sorry about the headache
@jedially85 wow! My dogs don’t even let me sleep past 7!
@whiska BD for fun? Who does that??? Hehehe
@cjt121413 I’ll cross my toes for you as well. But I need my fingers to type, so you’ll have to excuse those.
@aurora1973 good luck getting DH in the same xip code. Our first few cycles we were both traveling a lot. It was tough… what am I supposed to do, tell my boss that I or DH can’t travel because I am fertile and we need to be having the sex that day. Yeah…. That would work well.
@queensunscreen thanks! It was a huge relief! And there is no way that is a real dog…. That has to be a stuffed animal….
@meilay I am sorry you are having a tough day. I know that my first few cycles, I got so excited. There may or may not be various “announcement” type gifts for DH and family stashed in my dresser…. Temping can be a personal choice. IT doesn’t help you control anything, but for me it helps to at least feel like I have a handle on it. Hang in there
@ratparade I am woefully behind on all of the superhero movies. Seeing deadpool tonight because someone on here said I didn’t have to know anything about the superhero world. We had only consider BvS because DH was interested
Wow, that was hard!! Many thanks to those of you who manage to respond to most everyone everyday. It really makes me feel like someone is paying attention
edited because there was a ton of spaces i didn't want
@totororyInLove I totally forgot about her, but have definitely watched many of her videos. Hilarious. That's so nice that your DH is looking up parenting information!
@Wineo929 Sorry this cycle is hitting you hard. 6 months is still normal, but I'm sure knowing that doesn't make it any easier.
@Sandwichlover Grumpy cat is definitely an internet celebrity.
@Jenmlangtake2 At least your MIL apologized, you came out on top on that one. She still should have maybe looked for them before blaming you on misplacing them!
@Mrsdaddario Glad AF is on her way out!
@furbabymom2007 Glad your DH's SA went well and your prescriptions were so affordable!
@Sparty18 Glad your BP was normal and physical went well. Good luck with your appointment when it comes.
@mokay19 Not sure if I'm missed your details plan from previous posts but glad you have one and DH's on board! Long cycles suck!
@BerekBaby Yay for Friday, jeans, bumping at work and a haircut. What a great post
That hair colour looks cool!
@thefarmerswife0411 Ugh good luck with the IL's!
@Aurora1973 Pregnancy whisperer! I bet they are expensive! LOL
@Meilay Sorry you are having a weird TTC day. There are so many emotions, thoughts, hopes, worries that come in to play with this.
Month/Cycle: 4/1
CD: 89
WAYDTGKU: PNV, still waiting for everything else.
R/R/CS: On "vacation". DH and I both have 5 days off with it being a long weekend. Missing out on family Easter traditions but sorry, not sorry. Left cold temps of -4 (24f?), bad weather, snow days and power outages behind, drove 9 hours straight south and its been sunny and in the 20's (70's?) since we've been here! Awesome!
GTKY: I don't have anyone that I follow on a regular basis. But I get drawn in through facebook by Ellen and Jimmy Fallon. Usually one video turns into me going to their channels and watching videos for hours.

I am thankful that she willingly admitted she was wrong and apologized. It's definitely better than nothing. And I agree that maybe she wasn't really thinking.... But it was a text message. She had to type that out and proofread. Oh well. Water under the bridge. She is doing an awesome thing! DD absolutely loves it. And her Nana. That's what it's all about.

GTKY: Who is your favorite Youtuber or (if you don't follow Youtube) Internet celebrity?
I don't know if she counts as celebrity, but I follow the Nurshable blog on Facebook and she is so inspirational. I love everything she writes about her family. (Writes about gentle parenting.)
