GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating?

AliciaGoose · April 2016

Early to the party for once! Yay!

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 10

WAYDTGKU: Temping, CM, CP, PNV, OPKs, BD EOD currently. Will move to ED around CD14.

R/R/CS: It's been so cold here the last two days, and the change of temperature in my room is definitely lowering my temps! Kind of frustrating but at least it's pre-O.

GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating?
Hm that's a good one. I would say the annoying one is that he has an inability to close closet doors. He literally leaves every closet door he's ever opened just slightly ajar instead of pushing it all the way in. I don't understand it. That's kind of not a quirk per say but as I stare at an open closet door it's my first thought. I find it adorable that he wears shorts literally all year long, even in the winter. He's one of 'those' guys but I love it!

SandwichLover · April 2016

Good morning ladies

Month/Cycle: 5/4

CD: 21

WAYDTGKU: stuff

R/R/CS: thanks for all the good thoughts yesterday! My dad is now home and doing ok so that's good at least. No temp rise yet so guessing I'll O later than usual.

GTKY: I get up before H usually and make coffee. Every morning when he gets up he asks me "is there coffee? Where's the coffee" um yes there is coffee. In the kitchen. Where it has been for the past 7 years. Lol. As for cute quirks, he always makes me walk on the inside of the sidewalk when we're walking together, so he's between me and the street. I think it's cute and protective though probably unnecessary lol.

@aliciabhen I am a cabinet door opener! I get what I need and leave the kitchen cabinet open. I have no idea why. I try to be better now because it drives H up a wall.

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD:14

WAYDTGKU: Yay for first smiley on OPK yesterday!

R/R/CS: Happy I am getting to know how my body works this cycle with temping and OPKs. Up super early today for no reason though so hope it doesn't affect my temp too much. Also not much BD due to me being sick and last night DH got home late from dinner with friends and was tired. We have a houseguest coming today but gonna have to try to HIO quietly cause today maybe O day!

Question about OPKs - I am using CBFM. Instructions say that if you get a smiley then no need to test again; just that ovulation is likely that day or the next. However since I can see how dark the line is when I eject it, should I keep testing to see when it peaks?? Thanks for any input, may not be able to check replies until later after work.

GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating?
I love how affectionate he is- always holds my hand when we go out and loves to shower me with kisses lol. I think the most annoying thing though is how laid back he is. He doesn't worry about anything and I'm the opposite of that so feel like I have to worry for both of us sometimes!

@SandwichLover I didn't post yesterday but lurked super late. Glad you Dad is home and recovering and FX for good news from the testing.

MelissaM090 · April 2016

Good morning ladies! Bright and early this morning!

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD: 5

WAYDTGKU: The regular stuff, Femara Day 3.

R/R/CS: It's a good day when AF has quietly exited. Ordered the Wondfo combination pack from Amazon yesterday. Never used OPK's before so we'll see how this goes

.

GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating? I love this question! I feel like I have a hundred answers for both. Cute would be our inside jokes and he has a really funny voice he uses for certain things and it's adorable.

Annoying - his feelings towards pasta. Spaghetti and fettuccine and linguine ('long' pasta) is okay. Macaroni is okay. Any other shape of pasta is UNACCEPTABLE. Penne, rotini, shells, bowties, etc are 'gross'. WTF. He's not even a picky eater. I snuck cavatappi into macaroni and cheese once and he grudgingly ate it. Grudgingly.

babymish · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD: 10 - double figures baby!

WAYDTGKU: Oh everything

R/R/CS: CM is stepping up its game and SO is getting laaaaaaiiid tonight!

Forgot to bring an opk to work so need to try and do the impossible and hold my pea sized bladder this afternoon.

I seem to have just one window of opportunity between 7am and 10.45am where I can hold it comfortably....once I've broken the seal there's no going back.

GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating?

He is such a lovely person and often kills mean spirited people with kindness and I love that.

He has a tendency to rush things and do "half a job" when it comes to cleaning/ tidying.

momtoleo · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 11/11

CD: 1

WAYDTGKU: Right now just waiting for AF to leave. Then it's going to be everything and anything

R/R/CS: Went a little BSC this weekend after a faint, faint squinter (or so I thought) on a FRER. After a long discussion in TWW yesterday, I'm now wondering if it was a dreaded indent line. Whatever it was, it turned me into a crazy person and I'm now convinced FR needs to go out of business and refund millions of dollars to people.

GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating? Is it bad that the super adorable one was harder to think of than the laundry list of annoying ones? Super adorable is that he loves, loves, loves to cook for me. Even when I just might want a bowl of cereal for dinner, I'll get a steak dinner. Or eggs and bacon for breakfast in the morning. Completely irritating is that he takes the longest showers in the world, uses all the hot water AND basically spends the entire early morning in there while I make coffee, deal with the dogs, tidy up, etc. Another one? The fact that he can make a room look like a tornado swept through it just by standing in the room. (Which means, given the super adorable quirk, you can imagine what our kitchen always looks like).

sldp123 · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 10

CD: 10

WAYDTGKU: Round 3 of Clomid + TI, adding Ovidrel trigger this cycle, temping, OPKs if I remember

R/R/CS: Forgot to start OPKs this morning, but I doubt that it matters. I have my follicle scan on Saturday and I doubt I will O before then, but I guess stranger things have happened, so I will have to remember to start tonight or tomorrow. I also woke up in the middle of the night feeling nauseated and I was afraid I was getting a stomach bug. I feel better this morning, so I guess not. I started a new PNV last night, Nature Made with DHA. The PNV I was taking before was a chewable prescribed by my OB but didn't have DHA. So I wonder if the change bothered my stomach, but would it have happened that quickly?

GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating? Adorable, although it's not really a quirk, would be his sense of humor. He makes me laugh all the time, and he is always making funny jokes with DS. He's really quick-witted and also goofy. Irritating, he grossly underestimates the time it will take to do literally anything. We will be getting ready to go somewhere in 20 minutes and he'll be all, well I'm just going to clean out the garage real quick before we leave. Drives me batty.

QueenSunscreen · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD: 14

WAYDTGKU: getting some. The usual.

R/R/CS: not related at all to ttc, but I had a bit of a restless time falling asleep and spent a lot of should-be-sleeping time on the fact that I cannot, for the life of me, wear stretchy fabric headbands. They ride right up to my crown. It doesn't matter if they're the sport ones with the silicone or whatever it is on the back to help grip your hair - they just don't work. I think my head is weirdly shaped.

GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating? adorable would be his ability to make me laugh when I don't want to. I tend to get really moody (although much less so now that I've been off bcp for quite some time) and he's the first guy I've been with who hasn't exacerbated the situation. Irritating would be his chewing. He doesn't chew with his mouth open, but he has a small mouth - we call it a dinosaur mouth because his jaw is really narrow - and when he chews, it makes a noise that apparently only I can hear. A noise that makes me really stabby.

WAYDTGKU: PNVs met temping OPKs BD Ed

R/R/CS: my temp went up yay! One more and it's off to TWW!

work is seriously driving me crazy. Warning this is a long rant. So me and this other guy both were training for this other position. But then things got kinda hectic in our current job so we were both pulled back. But during my review this year it was explicitly said I would get back to the new training this year. Well a few weeks ago some shit went down and they needed one person in the new position asap. So apparently they just decided on the other guy. Didn't talk to either of us. No applying or interviewing. When my boss told me I was upset and we had a long talk and I felt he understood my feelings and was going to try to see what could be done.

Well ill it's been a few weeks and nothing's happened. I have to spend everyday in the same cubicle listening to him getting trained on what I was supposed to be doing. And now I get told because of him leaving our current position I need to do twice as much work and that I will never go to that position cause he can't afford to take me away from what I am doing. Seriously what the hell? I really want to find a new job now. But I've been here 8 years and I kinda feel like I should be getting treated better than I am. It just sucks. Ok rant over.

GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating?

I love how sweet he can be. He's not the most affectionate guy but he will do little things that show how hes feels. Like randomly just bringing me something when im sitting around, or coming home with some sort of treat. He is also really sweet with DS and that is always heartwarming. I love watching them play together.

as for annoying he has a very sarcastic sense of humor and some times the sarcasm is just lost on me and it appears like hes just being mean. on the other hand he can make me laugh like no one else so I guess his humor is good and bad.

mrsdaddario · April 2016

@aliciabhen My DH is the same way with closet doors! It drives me insane. There's just something about an open closet door that I can't stand, maybe the trip factor, more likely that all of our closets are a mess and I hate to look into them lol.

@SandwichLover So glad your dad is home and doing well. That DH makes you walk on the inside of the sidewalk is absolutely swoon worthy. Totally adorable.

@safire13 I would say if you normally have a regular cycle, it may not be necessary to continue using the OPK for the rest of the cycle. However, if you're not confident this was THE positive, keep going. The worst that happens is you get a non-positive tomorrow. Good luck!

@MelissaM090 Yay for AF leaving all sneaky quiet like. Also, that's so funny about the pasta! It all tastes the same in my book! Except cavatelli which is my absolute favorite. Mmmmmm carbs.

@babymish I love that you describe your SO as lovely. That's such a great describing word and makes me invision your SO has the nicest dude ever lol. Also, question, last cycle I did my OPK's with FMU because the instructions said too. I have now moved on to Wondfo's and it does say use them anytime. I drink a lot of water during the day, and when I tried an OPK last night it was a SUPER faint line. Totally negative. But now I'm wondering if it was so faint because I drink so much. When you bring the OPK's to work, do you hold off on drinking a lot until you've used the OPK? I mean I know you said you have a full bladder when you take it, but is that from like...a normal amount of liquid and just holding it for a few hours, or an excess of liquid? Sorry, totally TMI question!

@kirby1220 Not bad at all. When I thought up the question it was because DH was doing something this morning in the bathroom (we have to share while we simultaneously get ready for work) and it was super irritating. So I understand the laundry list of annoyances vs adorableness lol.

@sldp123 DH is always the one waiting around for me, but we're both timely people. That would drive me crazy!!

Month/Cycle: 7/4

CD: 20

WAYDTGKU: PNV, BBT, CM, RLT, OPK, HIO

R/R/CS: DH and I HIO for the first time last night in 37 DAYS. First because of my Provera AF, then we had to abstain for the sake of the HSG, then all the bleeding after the HSG. I couldn't believe it had been that long. I was so freaking nervous that it would hurt because the bleeding had just stopped fully yesterday from the HSG, but the good news is it didn't hurt and I didn't bleed. So I'm super excited. Also, I'm wondering if I'm wasting my time temping. I'm still going to continue doing it, but my chart is freaking all over the place. There is zero pattern. I know the whole, it's not about one tree but about the forest but with PCOS I'm wondering if there won't even be any type of over all pattern. It would be stupid to stop at this point so I'm going to continue, but maybe next cycle I'll temp vaginally and see if there is a difference!

GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating?
Adorable Quirk: DH has this thing with words. He mixes words up a lot, and he also uses big words incorrectly. For example, when we first started dating he was making me dinner and he asked me in all seriousness if I wanted croissants in the salad. I knew what he meant but man, to this day I think about it and still laugh. He also uses big words incorrectly all of the time. I don't know if it's him trying to make himself seem more educated, but it's so funny. At first I would correct him immediately, but now only if I think it's important enough. But I find it charming.
Irritating Quirk: He uses chew tobacco. That in and of itself is super irritating for all of the health concerns. But he has a tendency to leave his empty chew cans and full spit bottles around the house. The cans are just annoying because I'm constantly throwing them away, but the spit bottles disgust me.

*edit--words*

Hi friends!

Month/Cycle: 4

CD: 18

WAYDTGKU: PNV, HIO EOD, CM, BBT, pre-seed, etc

R/R/CS: Well, not sure if yesterday was O or not. Temp went up a tiny little bit but I don't know. We'll see. Rave: no visitors on campus today! It's a burning inferno of heat in our office so we are allowed to wear our polos today...woohoo! Rant: *tw--hypothetical preg gender discussion* The other night I stumbled upon old wives' tales about pregnancy and gender. I was not familiar with a lot of these, so I read the article--according to both the Mayan calendar gender wives' tale AND the Chinese calendar gender wives' tale, if we get KU this cycle, it is going to be a girl. I told this to DH hoping to solicit an "awwww" but he was immediately like, "Yeah well you know the Mayans had a completely different calendar than us, and so do the Chinese". (I could have guessed this is what he would say). Immediately shooting down any possibility of a cute little conversation we could have. He does this sometimes--he likes to be right and when it comes to baby stuff, I feel like he'd rather just not talk about it because he's so nervous. He is definitely excited about trying for our first, but it just pisses me off so much when he does stuff like this.

GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating?

Lol, great question for my rant! See above. DH sometimes thinks he knows anything and everything and is a major correct-er. This drives me insane. In addition, he is an interrupter, which I hate--but I have started to combat him by just interrupting him back, (so childish, I know) and that seems to work! haha. BUT he's so great in most other ways that it really makes up for it. The thing that I think is super adorable is that every morning when he's really tired, he wants to be LITTLE SPOON! Hahaha it's so cute though I can't even handle it. I love being little spoon and that is usually how we fall asleep, but he wants it when he's sleepy. So cute. He is also smart and hilarious and frequently makes me laugh! In addition, he has a gorgeous singing voice. Plus, he is so nice to everyone all the time. I agree with @babymish, he can seriously kill some people with kindness (Sorry I know that's more than one!) All of that makes the interrupting and correcting worth it!

Sparty18 · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 8/9

CD: 14

WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, PNVs, OPK & BD

R/R/CS: I was fully expecting a temp rise today, no such luck. I'm not worried yet and honestly it's fine because if I really haven't O'd yet then we are getting way better timing than I expected to get this cycle. I just don't like the mixed signals. Peak way back on Saturday, O pain pressure on Monday night, fertile CM through yesterday but still no temp shift. FAM & Research both put CH on CD11 (likely because of the peak on CD10 and very slight temp shift) but Advanced has nothing yet. I agree with Advanced in this case, but just really hoping to see that temp rise tomorrow. CD14 is the latest I have O'd in the past and my post-O temps are always above 98, not that it means much. Link is in siggy if you have any other insights, but I know I just need to wait to see what happens tomorrow.

GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating?
Adorable - He is very smart and just knows the most random facts. He almost always has the answer when someone is trying to remember something and he knows most answers if we happen to have Jeopardy on TV. He is very humble about it and I find it cute and attractive.

Irritating - The guy doesn't know how to turn off a light switch! I'm always finding lights left on in our bathroom or closet or room, etc...

sldp123 · April 2016

@aliciabhen my DH wears shorts all year, too. I think he’s crazy most of the time, but he looks good, haha.

@SandwichLover glad to hear your dad is home, I hope he is able to rest and have a quick recovery.

@safire3 yay for a smiley! I used digitals for the first time last month, and I was so happy when the smiley finally popped up. I don’t have any experience with CBFM so I can’t really help with your question.

@MelissaM090 your husband’s feelings toward pasta are hilarious. I’m kind of the opposite, although I will eat any pasta, I think the “shaped” kinds taste better. My absolute favorite is radiatori.

@babymish double digits for me today, too! Doesn’t hitting CD10 make it suddenly feel SO much further along in the cycle?

@kirby1220 ugh, sorry for CD1 and the confusing results. FRERs are certainly getting a bad name around here. Hope you are able to do something nice for yourself today.

CD: 17

WAYDTGKU: Everything!

R/R/CS: Sooo I'm pretty positive that I O'd on Sunday but FF still hasn't given me CH yet! Since Monday I've consistently had increasing temps so I'm not sure what it's waiting for. Attaching my chart in case you ladies have some advice to give. It's my first month really tracking my BBT so I might be missing something. Hoping that I did O on Sunday because our timing was pretty great.

GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating? This is so nit-picky but when he coughs, it annoys the crap out of me lol. It's just so loud and seems overdone and it usually makes me jump as well. I know- so silly. As far as adorable things that he does, he's just always so affectionate and always wants to do things for me to make my life easier.

WAYDTGKU: still need to pick up my vitamin d because I suck at life lol, starting opk's in a few days, got my pineapple ready to be cut for FW and beyond, HIO EoD I hope starting tonight...

R/R/CS: DH still needs to make the appointment for his arms. His left is still sore but has gotten better, his right is the same most days and worse on others.... time for cortisone shots, I feel bad, they scare the crap out of me. DH is a tough guy with a crazy high pain tolerance but I think he's even scared of it...

GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating? Why is it so much easier to pick an irritating than an adorable? lol he's just kind of adorable in general....

He's bad for leaving cabinets open but the irritating part is that he always leaves the messiest one open lol

ETA: I thought of an adorable! DH is confident. Like, seriously. He's awesome and he knows it, but he doesn't come across as arrogant, he come across as intelligent and confident. And he can talk to anyone. Plus he loves teaching. He was fixing his sister's computer's heatsink and told me he'd do it when I was there (we were dating at the time) instead of showing me, he had me do it. He walked me through, step by step, explaining why we were doing each thing and what would happen if we didnt. Its adorable and more than a little HOT lol not sure why but watching him work (he's an IT systems admin, but he has no helpdesk support so he's the one replacing hard drives and teaching users) is still super sexy lol. well.... this took a turn from adorable to me heading to his office to close the door for a "meeting"

hanshotfirst77 · April 2016

@mrsjqg1024 im not an expert at this yet lol but it looks to me like one more high temp and youll get CH since CD14 has an open circle FF isnt sure its reliable so if you take that out, you only have 2 high temps cause CD 15 is the same as CD 13. FX for CH tomorrow!

WAYDTGKU: bbt pnv opk cm 1st acupuncture appt on Saturday!

R/R/CS: does anyone keep their OPKs and put them all on one piece of paper to compare? Whenever I check online for positive pictures of OPKs I see people who do this. And sometimes after the fact, I'm like oh I wish I had yesterday's OPK to see if it was darker. I feel like I've never seen a blazing positive Wondfo Opk for myself. And when I look for positive ones online I personally would not say that some were positive. I have tried digitals but that gets expensive to do daily when you have a wide potential range of fertile window.

GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating? He puts wet towels on the bed after a shower. Ugh drives me nuts. He also disappoints me that he hates roller coasters and horror movies. But he is an awesome father and fixes all my tech issues and always thinks I'm hot enough to bang which makes me feel awesome.

beary67 · April 2016

*Lurking from TWW*

@Safire3 per the directions, you are not supposed to use the lines to determine a positive or negative test because of the possibility of inaccurate results. You should only rely on the digital display.

He is so geeky and cute. Loves documentaries.
irritating: he can be big headed at times

CD: 14

WAYDTGKU: HIO!

R/R/CS: O should be tomorrow! Hopefully my temps confirm. I leave for Nola (bachelorette party) Friday, come home Monday, and leave for a conference on Tuesday and don't get back until Friday. I'm thankful I O before I leave (if everything goes as planned...) but am annoyed I may have open circles for my temps with lack of sleep and drinking. And my poor H will be a single dad for a week- which he can handle, I just feel bad because our DS has entered into his "threenager" phase and it's exhausting.

GTKY: He shows his love by making things which I LOVE. Last year I saw a dog food/bowl holder I liked online and the next day I had one

My biggest annoyance is that I think he brushes his teeth way to hard lol

wineo929 · April 2016

@megzb510, I do that and I like it a lot. Especially being able to look back at other months and compare progressions. I don't typically get a super obvious positive either

PepperAT · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 9/9

CD: 6

WAYDTGKU: Still early, not much going on just yet.

R/R/CS: Happy Wednesday, we are half way there! I decided I am going to continue temping this cycle. I hinted to H that I might skip it because of our vacation, but he seemed hesitant and reminded me how much more at ease I was when I knew what was going on. Love how supportive he is with all of this. Thanks to you ladies, I am also going to add in OPKs, which should make for an interesting moment when my bags get checked at the airport.

GTKY:
Adorable: His ability to strike up a conversation with anyone and everyone. I am a complete introvert, so I love that he is more outgoing and can bail me out if needed. Annoying: The fact that he is a morning person! I am not a morning person, at all, so sometimes this can be beyond annoying.

Rushing off to work, hope you all have a lovely day!

@JediAlly85 Thank you! You're probably right and FF is waiting for one more day of high temps. FX!!

WAYDTGKU: Provera, Metformin, PNV, sex, temping

R/R/CS: I'm just still super excited that I have an appointment scheduled for April 22nd! My doctor had mentioned possibly an HSG so I'm a little nervous about something like that coming up, but nonetheless excited to have the appointment! I keep calculating like when I'll finish my Provera vs when the appointment is and then when DH gets home from his TDY haha.

GTKY: I agree with others that I could think of several irritating things right away haha
Cute: his sense of humor. He can always make me laugh even when I try not to.
Annoying: he doesn't know how to put things away! Like you put BBQ sauce on your sandwich, then you should put the BBQ sauce away! Not leave it on the counter!

canavara · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 9

WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPK, BD

R/R/CS: After last month's 15 days of positive OPKs, just happy to see a negative on CD9 and feel there is some level of reliability there. A little weird since the only full cycle FF has for me is last month's where I Oed late and it thinks I just naturally O on CD19. Curious to see what will happen this month.

GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating? Adorable: Whenever I've gone to bed before him and forgot something, I'll sometimes text him and be like, "Can you bring me my water bottle?" or "Can you bring me [whatever]?" He'll always come into the room and kneel like a knight beside the bed and present whatever it was out before him and say, "M'LADY!"
Annoying: Whenever we argue, he tends to talk very.... very... slowly... with... a lot ... of ... long... pauses. He's like that in general too but more so during conflict. It's hard to fault him for it because I know he's like that with good intent, trying to be cautious of what he says, but sometimes I just want to be like, "Aghhhh get to the point!"

I did this last month since I was having false positive OPKs... saved about 10 days of them and even took them with me to the OBGYN a couple of days ago. Doc said that keeping them can be kind of useless because they do get darker as they sit out... and depending on urine saturation and a bunch of other things, one may get darker than another even though they are the same levels of LH detected within the test accuracy window.

WAYDTGKU: Started temping today! whoo hoo! going to do an OPK tomorrow, and Friday, just to test that out.. BD EOD for the rest of FW

R/R/CS: I'm pretty chill so far today, nothing really crazy to report. Other than I have to go back to the dermatologist this afternoon, and I have new insurance, and I'm anxious to see how that all shakes out.

GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating? Super adorable quirk: He's always up to travel. And go, and do things.. We have been many many places together, and honestly it's our favorite thing to do... We are both so antsy right now because we don't have a trip planned anywhere any time soon... I'm blessed to be with someone who loves to travel like I do... Completely irritating? THE HOARDING. OH! THE HOARDING!

WAYDTGKU: Charting, PNV, guaifenesin in FW

R/R/CS: Just hanging out. Not much to report. I'm a bit tired of hearing some people I meet in person complain ceaselessly about how much being pregnant sucks, but I'm trying to stay positive today.

GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating?

I love how geeky he gets about firefighting and paramedicine. He loves what he does and loves helping people! I'm feeling impatient with the world today so I'm going to skip the irritating quirk and focus on the good.

@aliciabhen - My DH has that problem with cabinet doors. It makes me batty.

@SandwichLover - Oh dear, cabinet opener. We can't be friends. I took the week off from TB, but I'm sorry to hear about your dad! I'm not sure what happened but I'm glad he is home.

I'm going to come back and do some more in a little bit.

Reading all of these GTKYs is very entertaining!

@safire3 My H is sooo laid back too! Drives me crazy sometimes, I ask him frequently if he is actually a human.

@QueenSunscreen lol, so many visuals going through my head with dinosaur mouth.

@mrsdaddario Yay for BD!!

@mrsjqg1024 I literally LOL'd at your cough comment. My H does the same thing! His coughs are always so abrupt and out of nowhere and makes me (and our puppy) jump all the time. As for your chart, I think the missing temps and open circles from the 31st - 3rd will make it difficult to tell for sure, but hopefully it will be more clear after a couple of more high temps. I'd make sure to track CM every day too as that can really help.

@canavara Haha, I love the m'lady! I can totally see my H doing that, especially if we're watching GoT or something.

mrsdaddario · April 2016

@mrsjqg1024 I agree with @JediAlly85 I think it might be a day or so too early to tell if you really O'd. It looks like it might even have been on Monday. Did your CM match up with Sunday? I didn't see any notations about it under those days. Also, my DH is like that with sneezing. Like holy hell dude, that was so loud and abrupt our town probably thinks a nuclear bomb went off. I know I certainly dove for cover LOL.

felix08 · April 2016

@kirby1220 sorry about CD1. Also, I find it much easier to think of the irritating quirks than adorbable. So either we are both terrible people or it's totally normal. ;-)

@sldp123 If I take my PNV (or any supplement, really) on an empty stomach, I definitely feel nauseous later that same night, so I think it's possible that your new PNV caused that.

@JediAlly85 FX for confirmed O! And WTF to your job--at the very least, you should be getting paid more for doing more work.

@pepperat I think you and your H have also convinced me to continue temping for this cycle. I thought about taking a break since I am so frustrated with everything I am doing while TTC, but I know I would be kicking myself come possible O time.

@thj101 Love of travel is one of my favorite things about my H, too! We also like to always have a trip planned, but have nothing big coming up. :-(

@khbear Yep, super annoying to hear other people complain about their pregnancy. I swear, if I ever get pregnant, I am not going to say a WORD about it (except maybe to H

).

WAYDTGKU: Just waiting for AF to GTFO

R/R/CS: I don't really have anything one way or the other today! AF is almost done I believe, so that is fabulous.

GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating? I'm going to go with one thing that can be both adorable and irritating. When DH gets an idea, he goes all in (e.g., planning a trip, buying a home, home improvements, etc.). I love how excited and enthusiastic he gets. HOWEVER, he will sometimes start planning for something then not follow through. For example, over a YEAR ago, he decided to switch out all the trim in the house for white trim. This project is mostly finished, but there are still areas waiting on the quarter round to be reinstalled. At times, he also starts planning for things that are not financially possible at this point. Recently, he's been spending A LOT of time searching for a lake house. While I agree that it would be awesome to own a lake house at some point, it's just not feasible at this point.

WAYDTGKU: temping, charting, OPKs, PNV, hoping, wishing

R/R/CS: Well I thought AF was gone, but still had some spotting last night before bed. Ugh. Hopefully that was the last of it for the month.

GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating?
adorable - since we bought our new house, he has been obsessed with keeping our yard nice. We have tons of trees, so every day after work he goes outside to rake and bag leaves. When he's done, he drags me outside to show me how many leaves he bagged. He's so proud. Haha.

irritating - He doesn't put anything away. I do laundry, and he will just let his clothes sit on the floor folded until I say something, or I put it away myself. Same with unloading the dishwasher. If he doesn't know where something goes, he will just sit it on the counter and wait for me to put it away instead of trying to figure it out on his own. Ughhh.

WAYDTGKU: Metformin, Femera + Ovidrel shot, OPKs (when it's time) not much else right now

R/R/CS: Day 3 of Femera. No real side effects yet; hoping it'll stay that way. My RE told me that avoid carbs on Femera because it can cause weight gain in women who don't watch their carb intake, so I've been trying to eat only the "good carbs" and avoid the bad - pasta, white rice, lots of bread, etc. It's hard!

I still haven't picked temping back up, and I don't think I will. I don't see a point, now that I'm on Femera and plan to take Ovidrel. Even when I wasn't - my chart was so long and so all over the place, it didn't help matters - only drove me crazy.

GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating? Oh, where to start. I love so much about DH. He's wicked smart, loving, and funny (when he wants to be). He's the BEST at imitating people and accents (he has a Master's in Acting).
Sometimes though he can be arrogant about things - and that can be REALLY irritating. I always try to take him down a notch - nothing is attractive about arrogance. Also, he's from New York, and he can get LOUD and in your face. Which I sometimes find irritating/occasionally embarrassing. There have been a few times where I've had to remind him to use his "inside voice" when we've been out in public.

WAYDTGKU: Anything & Everything

R/R/CS: Still feeling good about this cycle. Starting to see some positive changes in my fertility signs.

GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating? Adorable: We have the exact same sense of humor. We watch the same shows, laugh at the same things, and at times say the same exact thing at the same time when we find things humorous. I just love that about him!
Irritating: I'm with @aliciabhen & @ladystinson , I loath seeing cabinets, closets, drawers, and doors left open. If I leave for any length of time, I return to a house that appears to have been burglarized! And I also agree with @mokay19 about putting things away. I think they all fall into the same category. Just put it back the way you found it!

Month/Cycle: 6/5

CD: 17

WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPK, FF, PNV+DHA, BD ED/EOD in FW, Pre-seed

R/R/CS: So I’ve officially given up on OPKs. I’m terrible at POAS when I need to consistently and I just don’t trust it at this point. I’m going to rely on my temps completely now. According to chart overlay and my patterns, it looks like I may have ovulated yesterday because I got a bit of a temp shift this morning. It looks like maybe my usual dip on O day just wasn’t as deep which makes sense because I had a couple drinks the night before. If I O’d yesterday our timing will be the best yet! FX, I should have a good idea tomorrow morning depending on what temp does.

GTKY: What’s one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating? Irritating is when he chews. I know it sound weird but I swear he has the thinnest cheeks in the world. I can literally always hear everything that’s going on in there!!! The most adorable trait he has is definitely how he acts with our nieces and nephews (6 nephews, 2 nieces). He’s amazing with them. It’s one of the main reasons I fell so hard for him. He’s going to be the best daddy one day.

@aliciabhen Cold here too! Hope it warms up soon! FX

@SandwichLover Maybe you might O later than usual given the stress that you’ve been under. Hopefully sooner rather than later though! FX for you.

@safire3 FX that today is the day!!

@MelissaM090 Yay for AF leaving. Now onto the fun part of the cycle!

@babymish My DH is probably the worst cleaner on the planet!!! So I get it. He is not a pig by any means, he keeps his things organized and neat but when it comes to washing floors, dusting and really deep cleaning, I’m better off just doing it myself. He’s the worst.

@kirby1220 Sorry about CD 1.

@sldp123 Not sure if the change would have bothered your stomach that early but I hope whatever it is regulates soon!

@QueenSunscreen I have the exact same problem. It is so annoying. They’ll stay for a minute but literally as soon as I move my face at all, they pop off. I thought I was the only one. Even the good ones with the rubber grip thing… nope! I hate it. I always have to wear the hard headbands to the gym. :frown:

@JediAlly85 Yay FX for one more high temp so you can move over to TWW!

@mrsdaddario Yay for finally HIO!

@kellybean1988 We are in the same situation. I think O might have been yesterday too bc my temp went up but not drastically. We will both know more tomorrow! FX for us!

@Sparty18 YAY for better timing! That’s a positive. I hate the mixed signals too. OPKs and I are not friends!

@mrsjqg1024 FF probably hasn’t given you crosshairs because of the open circles and the two absent temps. Maybe give it a couple more days because yes it does look like you may have O’d on Sunday. Why the open circle on Sunday? Did you take your temp at a different time? That might be why FF is confused.

@ladystinson Haha I agree with you. It was so much easier to find the irritating qualities!

@Megzb510 Let us know how you like acupuncture. I’m thinking about trying it too!

@viabug FX that you get answers very soon!

@wineo929 Yay! FX that O happens tomorrow!

@PepperAT Aww that’s awesome how supportive DH is! I totally agree with him too. So much more at ease when the guessing is left to a minimum!

@mokay19 Counting the days to your appointment?? I’m excited for you!

@canavara 15 days of positives!?!?! Jees! I can’t even get one! lol :silly: Interesting to see when O will be for you this month!

@thj101 Yay for temping! Good luck!!!

@khbear There’s a girl I work with and all she does is complain about being pregnant. Of course it wasn’t planned and all she is tell people that and complain about “getting fat”. It drives me up the wall! Some people just do not get it.

@felix08 Yay for AF almost being gone. DH is the same with his “ideas”. Grrr! Lol

@gonetothesea FX that today is the last day for AF!

@sammajane19 FX that the side effects stay away!

@steelerfan3878 Glad you’re feeling positive about this cycle!

Omg. My work emails are just out of control this morning! I'll be back to comment after I clean up my emails a bit.

CD: 11

WAYDTGKU: pnv. temping. cm. opk. HIO!!

R/R/CS: Holy EWCM! In the wise words of @babymish SO is getting laaaiiiddd tonight.

GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating?
Adorable: He's awesome and adorable in so many ways, but lately, the way he plays with our pup is just the cutest. Sounds dumb, but no one can play and make my dog as happy as DH. I most certainly can't play with our 65# pittie like DH can and the furkid knows it - he's (the dog) never as excited to play with me. Makes me hopeful that he'll be an even more awesome dad to a human kid. Haha.
Irritating: Also relating to the dog....he'll go hours without letting the dog out. I know the dog can hold it and really doesn't need to be let out every 2-3 hours like I do when I'm home, but still. This makes me worry that (if we're blessed with a child), there will be many pee-filled diapers in the future. Lol.

Dilynne · April 2016

Good morning!

Month/Cycle: 1/1 (my cycle started in the middle of the month and it's now April. Would that make this 1/2?)

CD: 26

WAYDTGKU: Mabis, PNV, healthier food, OPKs (though I haven't used them yet)

R/R/CS: I'm a little anxious to find out when CD1 is going to come because this is my first cycle off BCP in 10 years and I'm irrationally nervous that it'll never come back.

GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating?

Adorable: Any time he asks me a question or something, he always starts out with "My Love..." Like, My Love, did you... Can you... Also he insists on singing me Soft Kitty when I'm sick

Irritating: I'm going to go with two. 1) He never puts his dishes in the dishwasher. Always on top of the dishwasher. 2) He didn't do anything for my birthday or Valentines day this year, and he forgot to book off our first anniversary this month. It super hurt my feelings and he didn't understand what the big deal was. It was incredibly frustrating.

HLD3194 · April 2016

Month/Cycle: not sure how to answer, was trying since 02/15 - got pg 1/16 then lost 2/16 - this is my 1st month back to ttc

WAYDTGKU: starting OPK today

R/R/CS: just hanging in there and trying to keep a positive attitude...although I am finding it quite irritating when people tell me "things happen for a reason"

GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating? I love how he acts like a kid sometimes...he'll bust out singing in the car and when I say singing I mean full out belting his heart out lol - On the other hand I don't understand how he can't seem to understand what a hamper is for, I there was a prize for dirty clothes next to the hamper he'd be 1st place

R/R/CS: Aunt Flow is in full force...gotta love it when your afraid to sneeze or cough to hard...Plus more snow landed here last night. Snow is lame.

GTKY: What is one quirk of DH/SO that you find super adorable and one quirk that you find completely irritating? I find it adorable that my hubby is just learning how to cook...its so cute and fun to have him learning about what makes food taste good and that he likes things he never thought he would like.

I find his method, speed and intensity for eating popcorn totally irking.

kellybean1988 · April 2016

Hey friends!

*TW WEEEEEIRD QUESTION*
also maybe tmi, and it makes me sound BSC.

This is the weirdest thing ever. The past few cycles, I have noticed just once either during suspected ovulation or during the LP -a tiny clot-like discharge in the toilet but no blood. Kind of like a clot that you get with AF, but just kind of white-Ish and fluffy looking, maybe the size being a tiny bit bigger than a grain of rice, but round. Idk if I am just noticing it one time, but it seems to happen only once.

I have googled the shit out of this and can't find anything. Does anyone have any experience with this or am I just being a psycho?

Back for for responses soon! Thanks for listening to me analyze what I see in the toilet, y'all. Gross.

Want a personalized experience?
