Good Morning lovely ladies!

I can’t believe no one has started this yet!

R/R/CS:

GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do outside in the summer?

mylove071407 · May 2016

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: CD 20

WAYDTGKU: BBT and sex

R/R/CS: ETA: I slept like crap and took my temp twice, once it was really low, 96.14 and then it was really high, 98.4. Not sure which temp to use. If I used the low one, I didn't ovulate. If I use the high one I did...hate my body.

GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do outside in the summer? I'm more of an indoor girl. I don't do the heat well at all. *TW* I do like watching DD play in her pool though.

HopingForOneAgain · May 2016

@mylove071407 - We are cycle 1 buddies!

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: 6

WAYDTGKU: Currently waiting for my period to end so we can get this show on the road

R/R/CS: My husband has to go away several days this month. Not all in a row, luckily, but it may screw up our timing.

GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do outside in the summer?

Swim!!! We have a pool outside, although I call it the "lazy pool" since the water only goes to my shoulders...so I can lazily wander around whilst pretending to get exercise...

Mlight28 · May 2016

Month/Cycle: 13

CD: 41

WAYDTGKU: BD EOD for forever, Clomid, OPK, cm, temping

R/R/CS: Took my temp for the first time since before vacation, and it was high, but we are also adjusting to the time back at home (7 hours difference from vacation), so it was likely not an acurate temp. I also woke up in the middle of the night due to the time difference and had trouble getting back to sleep. We will just see what happens in the next couple days.

I also POAS this morning just incase I'm totally wrong on where I'm at in my cycle, and it was a bfn, obviously. I did a few times on vacation too, so that I wouldn't feel guilty for drinking.

My previous longest cycle was 34 days, and now Clomid has made this cycle suck.

GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do outside in the summer? The lake!!!

mylove071407 · May 2016

@HopingForOneAgain that we are!!!!

MamaMunn · May 2016

Month/Cycle: Ugh it's May 1st so 12/9 I'm having a hard time with that today

CD: 25

WAYDTGKU: pnv, bbt, opk, levothyroxine to lower tsh, hio. Waiting to start clomid next cycle

R/R/CS: DH got called into work today and I'm really bummed. I was looking forward to spending time together today. Oh well 11 hours of over time money will be nice.

GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do outside in the summer?

ReesaAnne16 · May 2016

Month/Cycle: 12/13

CD: 1

WAYDTGKU: I don't even know what we'll do this month. nothing works. Going to try to see if my RE will test my progesterone this month.

R/R/CS: I held off testing until today, because I only had one left, but I didn't need it. AF arrived slightly ahead of schedule. At least I have a day planned with activities, ending with lots of wine this evening. This sucks.

GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do outside in the summer? Gardening & horseback riding.

leekat14 · May 2016

Month/Cycle: 5/4

CD:11

WAYDTGKU: will probably start OPK. FF has given my little green boxes. Not sure if I want O delayed or rushed. Currently doing everything except the ONE THING YOU NEED TO DO. Ugh

R/R/CS:I got so much done yesterday!!! Trying to keep up the momentum with more stuff today!

GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do outside in the summer?

I work all summer long. One day off and most days are 10+ hours. My favorite thing is to take advantage of any time off and spending it with the hubby!

leekat14 · May 2016

@MamaMunn My H had to go work as well and he leaves tomorrow for a week. So bummed we don't get the day together

Mlight28 · May 2016

@ReesaAnne16 Sorry for cd1...

I know the feeling all too well of "nothing works". Hope you have a fun day to take your mind off things.

mylove071407 · May 2016

@ReesaAnne16 I'm sorry about it being given CD 1. Hopefully the Re will have answers.

PepperAT · May 2016

Month/Cycle: 10/10

CD: 3

WAYDTGKU: Maybe I need to try something different, what we have been doing doesn't seem to be enough.

R/R/CS: I know it can take up to a year and stuff, but for some reason this month is hitting me really hard. I feel like a debbie downer right now. H was trying to be so sweet last night and I just can't. I'm over it right now.
I think we are going to go shopping to start up our patio garden when he gets home from work, so that will be a good distraction.

GTYK:
@MamaMunn I like your style!
We are definitely outdoors people and love to camp, hike, bike and stuff. We live in Canada, really close to the mountains, so that is always fun. It has been a really dry winter though, so I don't know how much camping we will be able to do.

@Mlight28 When we went on our vacation, it was only an hour different and my temp was so high, so I can only imagine what 7 hours would do. Hope you had a blast on your holidays!

hanshotfirst77 · May 2016

Happy Sunday everyone!

Month/Cycle: 7/6 I hate today the month changes

CD: 13

WAYDTGKU: PNVs met bbt opk all the sex

R/R/CS: thank you to everyone who wished us well yesterday for DS party He had a great time and we had perfect weather especially considering it's raining today

I was expecting to get flashin smile today last 2 cycles I got it on cd13 but didn't today so maybe I'm going to ovulate later than usual got some BD in this morning anyways

GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do outside in the summer?

definitley going to water parks. So much fun can't wait tiL DS is old enough to go down the big slides.

kellybean1988 · May 2016

*edit forgot to change month to reflect may 1!!* Posting and ghosting, back to my normal respond-Y self tomorrow!

Month/Cycle: 6/5

CD: 14

R/R/CS: BEAUTIFUL day today, DH subbed at church for our pianist and he was so nervous but he did great!

GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do outside in the summer?

Eat! No but srsly I love outdoor picnics in the summer. I can get sunburned by the moon though so it has gotta be in the shade!

safire3 · May 2016

Hugs to you @MamaMunn. Hope you treat yourself to something nice today
@ReesaAnne16 Sorry for CD1

Month/Cycle:5/5
CD:12
WAYDTGKU: temping
R/R/CS: Yay for a lazy Sunday!! Also decided to slow down on TTC this cycle due to vacation at the end of the month. Will still temp and not preventing but won't stress about trying either.
GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do outside in the summer?It's a tie between gardening and the beach. I live in Florida and I love the beach but also obsessed with my flowers!
Edited for formatting. Also sorry if pic is large. I do all bumping mobile on iPhone or iPad and can never figure out how to make it smaller

cabu14 · May 2016

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD: 12

WAYDTGKU: Taking it easy due to back issues hoping not to be benched for long.. finding out on Monday at 5:15pm.

R/R/CS: Just still doing all the motions so I can see how my cycles look and I forgot to take my temp yesterday & didn't set an alarm to take it at normal this morning because I can't sleep as it is with the pain I'd rather just sleep as long as I can.. but hoping that it doesn't ruin my chart too bad.

GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do outside in the summer? Go camping, every summer we go on a two week trip to the mountains So relaxing usually I just beach it on the lake and drink a lot of cocktails. We will hike up mountains and the view is breath taking. We don't go until late July but I could use a vacation now! I love also just reading a book in my hammock, by the beach.

hunnybunny17 · May 2016

Hugs, @MamaMunn

Month/Cycle: 14, 1AL

CD: 13

WAYDTGKU: Letrozole, Ovidrel, TI, charting, fruit & veggies. Also joining the dark side and trying green tea for O and pineapple for TWW

 R/R/CS: Woke up "early" to take my trigger. DH pinched me like a champ, but did it half asleep so he forgot to leave the needle in for me not to bleed. We've got 2- timing so far. FX for DH to finish for -1 today too (I'd be ecstatic with -2, -1 timing!), and we're going to attempt O day no matter what because the RE said pre-ejac can have some sperm in it.

GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do outside in the summer?
Go to the park and sit in the grass after a good walk on the trails

PepperAT · May 2016

@ReesaAnne16 I am so sorry. I hope your day of activities offers some distraction! *hugs*

Edit to add:
@safire3 I am totally jealous of your green thumb! I wish I could grow flowers like that.
@cabu14 Hope your back feels better soon and you don't have to be benched!
@Marley629 Sorry for CD1

@linzrunz I strongly dislike social events like that too! Good luck with that. Usually H has to literally force me to go to those things. FX they have something good to drink there for you, because I think that is totally acceptable.

virginiaham · May 2016

Month/Cycle: 9/7 (1st TTCAL)

CD: 32

WAYDTGKU: cm, cp, bbt, OPK, MLD massage this week then acupuncture

R/R/CS: Still consistent pre-O temps but CM is promising. I'm hoping for good things this week!!

GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do outside in the summer? Warm naps on the beach. I kinda feel like that's going to be hard to come by here.

Marley629 · May 2016

Month/Cycle: 6 temping (+2 NTNP)

CD: 1

WAYDTGKU: wine today...continuing with acupuncture and starting a 30 day cleanse tomorrow; acupuncturist wants me to limit dairy and gluten so I'll give it a whirl..+all the 3 letter acronyms when AF departs

R/R/CS: this last cycle was completely wonky; looking back at my charts for the last 5 months, I have never had a textbook cycle I have never had a 28 day cycle and I have never O'd on CD14 - prior to temping I would have thought otherwise; science is truly amazing; Hitting the 6 month mark is hard to swallow but there's nothing I can do to change that - I'll have my day today and then focus on this next cycle with a positive outlook tomorrow

GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do outside in the summer?

I love walking at this park near me. It has 5 miles of trails and is so tranquil and beautiful. Really looking forward to starting that again soon

ETA because the app keeps eating my words

MollyandD · May 2016

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: 4

WAYDTGKU: I don't know if I need it or not, but I bought some Preseed yesterday. I have been on birth control so long, and it has caused me to be pretty dry. Now that I'm off, I may not need the artificial help from lube, but I'm ready just in case. I'm temping and will chart CM after my period stops.

R/R/CS: I don't know if I will ovulate this first cycle off birth control or not, and it bothers me that I can't see the future. Also, my temps aren't zigzagging. They are just going down every morning. I'm not sure if that's normal. It's hard for me to research it, because the birth control leaving my system makes it different for me compared to a woman who doesn't have those hormones in her system.

GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do outside in the summer? Swim. That's a no brainer. I love being in water.

linzrunz · May 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 4

WAYDTGKU: Just waiting...

R/R/CS: We are going to a birthday party for DH's co-worker's kid. It's going to be a bunch of people who I'm pretty sure are only "friends" with me because I'm married to DH. So it'll be a couple hours of being fake nice to everyone which always exhausts me. I hate social events like this. Tempted to fake a migraine and stay home. If not... I hope there's alcohol. That's totally acceptable at a two year old's birthday, right??

GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do outside in the summer? The lake!!!!! We live by a couple really awesome lakes and friends of ours have a boat. We always meet them up there for a few weekends during the summer to camp and play in the water.

MonaLisaRalphio · May 2016

Month/Cycle: 6/5

CD: 20

WAYDTGKU: BBT, PNV, done OPK, done HIO

R/R/CS: I'm more or less positive that I'm 2DPO but I might as well wait for CH.

GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do outside in the summer? Swimming!

picklesplease · May 2016

Month/Cycle: 9/8 (Oy...that hurts...)

CD: 10

WAYDTGKU: PNV, diet, exercise, acupuncture...waiting for this cycle to be over so that we can have a shot with our plan from the RE.

R/R/CS: Nothing. I'm starting Whole30 tomorrow after I make a menu for the week and can go grocery shopping. I'm trying to maintain positivity about being out this cycle.

GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do outside in the summer?

I'm with @MonaLisaRalphio - SWIMMING...even though I'm not terribly confident in how I look with a swimsuit on right now. I also love late night fire pits with a glass of wine in hand.

hanna133 · May 2016

Month/cycle: 1/1 (+2 not charting)

CD: 3

WAYDTGKU: temping

R/R/CS: Last night as I was going to hit 'post' on my reply, my internet went out. It was storming pretty bad, so I suspect something got knocked out. Luckily it's back up this morning!

GTKY: The thing I look forward to most in the summer is getting to wear sundresses! They're my favorite article of clothing!

Steelerfan78 · May 2016

Month/Cycle: 15/6

CD: 36

WAYDTGKU:

R/R/CS: No O yesterday... Boo! Think it's time to get a referral to an RE. My body is really torturing me these days and I am so f*cking over it!

GTKY:

mylove071407 · May 2016

@PepperAT and @MamaMunn I'm sorry you both are having a rough TTC month. If you ever need an ear I'm there...

@cabu14 I hope that the doctor will give you good news and you aren't benched. Back issues stink.

@JediAlly85 I'm glad DS's party was awesome and he had a great time. Birthday parties are exhausting.

@safire3 I wish I had your green thumb. Your flowers are gorgeous! I am not allowed to touch our plants because I have such a black thumb. I even killed a cactus once...how I did that I have no idea.

@linzrunz I despise gatherings like that. It takes all the fun out of events when you feel like you aren't wanted there. I am very familiar with that feeling.

safire3 · May 2016

Thanks @PepperAT and @mylove071407. It wasn't always like this, trust me I killed a good few plants too. Had to learn a lot from my Mom and still call her up to ask questions about them all the time lol

Hugs to all who are feeling the first of the month blues. I think there is sting to it for most of us.

hanshotfirst77 · May 2016

@mylove071407 thanks. Yes they are. DH and I are like dead today.

sweetyjenj · May 2016

@mylove2005 @HopingForOneAgain @MollyandD we're all cycle 1 buddies!!

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: 11

WAYDTGKU: cm, cp, BBT, lots of sex. Knowing I'm ovulating soon is a turn on lucky DH

R/R/CS: Wednesday we're moving from Los Angeles to Minneapolis, and my in-laws flew in to help us move and offered to drive the moving truck (yay!) while we drive one of our cars. that's nice...but my fertile window starts today!! Based on past charts and FF predictions, I should ovulate W-S, which are the days we're on the road. DH and I are going to BD along the way I've been trying to lower my stress this cycle, but it's been a pretty hectic month!

GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do outside in the summer? Living in LA it's easy to do all things all year round, but I'm a heat person and I LOVE hot sunny days. I love when I can wear skirts and dresses all day every day. Wake up, toss on a dress, and bam. Comfy, stylish, effortless. I love easy, and with a dress you don't really have to think about matching, and it's way more comfortable to keep my legs free than confined in pants

QueenSunscreen · May 2016

Hugs to CD 1's and those having rough days!!

@leekat14, did you see the Dr earlier this week? Was it pityriasis rosea? Mine unfortunately spread this week and now itches like a mf'er. Did they tell you anything hopeful?

Month/Cycle: 7s

CD: 8. Just realized I may have had my day wrong yesterday eeh, these early days don't matter...

WAYDTGKU: epo, preseed when it matters, getting ready to fwp.

R/R/CS: not ttc related, but my husband and parents and I helped my grandpa get his gardens, yard, and barn ready for spring yesterday, and I huuuuuurt. He's been on chemo and was too weak to do it himself. He wasn't too weak to boss us around all day in all seriousness, he's a great man and has been going for five years with stage IV lung cancer - he seems invincible to me!

GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do outside in the summer? I like all sorts of things outdoors. Sitting in the shade, reading is especially lovely. I like going for walks, hikes, camping with friends. Hanging out on a pontoon is faaaantastic. Just being (shaded, always shaded!!) on the water is great.

Lecool · May 2016

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD: 10

WAYDTGKU: Temping, OPKs

R/R/CS: Getting ready for the FW

GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do outside in the summer?

Drink beers around the fire pit and eating all meals outdoors on the deck.

@mylove071407 thanks. Yes they are. DH and I are like dead today.

That will be me in July. I always ask myself why we do it to our selves but then remember. Hopefully you get some rest today and don't have too much to clean up.

Lecool · May 2016

@ReesaAnne16 Sorry about CD1

@PepperAT I know what you mean. Last month hit me really hard too. Hugs to you.
@cabu14 Sorry your back is still hurting you!
@virginiaham FX for your O soon!
@marley629 Sorry about CD1

kiki75 · May 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 17

WAYDTGKU: PNV, fish oil, charting, temping, OPKs

R/R/CS: Today or tomorrow should be O and H left early this morning for three days. Hoping that our timing was good enough! Rave - Nutella!

GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do outside in the summer? If I had to pick just one thing, I would go for outdoor dining. If I can pick more there's kayaking, hiking, camping/backpacking. Really a day of hiking followed by stuffing my face and having beers outside somewhere... that's perfection.

LittleChick2 · May 2016

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: 20

WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPK, PNV+ DHA, CM

R/R/CS: Didn't get to temp this morning since my pup woke me up with a seizure. So far no sign of O in sight, but there wasn't any sign until the day of O last month, hoping it's CD 21 like last month.

GTKY: Going hiking, camping, home improvement projects.

Mythril · May 2016

Month/Cycle: 4

CD: 1 (hooray!)

WAYDTGKU: Clomid cd 5-9 and then all the usual!

R/R/CS: Oh man, I could write a book! For one I thought I had lost my clomid. I was waiting for AF because I was taking provera. It was in my purse. I remembered in church and nearly cried out in happiness.

I had a cook out yesterday. It started off as just my household, then I invited a friend. He invited a friend. That friend invited a friend. It turned into 6 people! That's cool, all of the people were my friends too. But the last guy decided he wanted to bring a spaghetti dinner with garlic bread. And I didn't want to be a jerk and tell him no, this is a cook out. So I told him "Look, I won't tell you no. But I find it kind of rude that you want to bring an entirely different meal to my cook out. And if you do this, it will hurt my feelings. I will eventually get over it, but I thought I should be honest." Then we talked about it and finally he said he'd just bring chips. Cool. But he brought the spaghetti dinner anyway. And when I was upset and had to leave the room to cool off, he told my husband and the other guys "I never heard of anyone being upset about having more food." I told him I would be upset, why would he be surprised? UGH. I do not understand him. Ok, I kind of do. He just didn't care about anyone but himself. *shrug*

GTKY: Garden. I love to work in my garden and watch the veggies grow. This year I haven't even started my garden because I can't work up the energy to turn the earth and my plot is covered in weeds.

NamelessAria · May 2016

@ReesaAnne16 Sorry about CD1

@safire3 your garden is lovely and I'm a tiny bit jealous. I'm starting a kitchen garden this year and hopefully I'll have some nice photos and things for next year. But so far my track record is just repeatedly killing the cat grass I've tried to grow for my cat indoors in pots.

@DoctorDonna Whole 30 sounds like culinary torture. You're a better person than I am.

Month/Cycle: 9/9

CD: 15

WAYDTGKU: temping, charting, checking cm/cervix, sex when possible, supplements for egg quality (CoQ10, PNV, alpha lipoic acic, vitamin E) whatever I'm forgetting.

R/R/CS: So it looks like I either O'd yesterday or I'm Oing today. DH and I didn't get a chance to FWP yesterday but we got this morning so hopefully that's good enough. And we got 2 days ago that so regardless of O yesterday or today we at least got either -4 and -1 or -2 and O. Obviously I'd rather have -2 and O but I'll take -4, -1. Could definitely be worse either way!

GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do outside in the summer? I'm going to start gardening this year. Nothing too crazy just a small kitchen garden with some cooking herbs: mint, oregano, dill, parsley, basil and thyme. And some lavender and chamomile if I can get them to grow. I also enjoy hiking though on the insanely hot days I'd rather be inside with a book or something.

picklesplease · May 2016

@NamelessAria - I have a ton of recipes from @houseofsetters and more that I've found online. It actually looks pretty good.

I've hit rock bottom. I have to do something, or I'm worried I will either gain more weight or have even more health issues. I had a blast at a friend's wedding last night, but hated that my old college friends saw me at anything but my best.

NamelessAria · May 2016

@DoctorDonna I hear you when you say you don't like people seeing you when you aren't at your best. After I got married I gained a lot of weight. It was really hard to even want to go to family gatherings or social events because I was so uncomfortable with how I looked. I remember one year at thanksgiving I realized that none of my "nice" clothes (read: anything that isn't a t-shirt and sweat pants, yoga pants, PJs, etc.) would fit me. I totally had a melt down where I cried hysterically and refused to go to my in-laws for Thanksgiving because I wasn't about to go in a t-shirt and sweat pants feeling that terrible about myself.

I had to do a major diet overhaul where I went through and got rid of all the foods I was eating that weren't nutritionally dense. Which... if I'm being honest, was most of my diet.

Hopefully the Whole30 works for you. I don't think I'd ever have enough willpower to stick to a diet that strict. But I know several people on here have done it and they all seemed to love it.

Also, I'm glad you had a nice time at your friend's wedding!

mrsdaddario · May 2016

@mylove071407 I hope your day improved!
@HopingForOneAgain I hope your timing ends up working out!
@Mlight28 Hopefully your temperature AND internal clock regulate very soon!
@MamaMunn I hope your day turned out half way decent despite DH getting called into work.
@ReesaAnne16 Sorry for CD 1. I hope you drank all the wine.
@leekat14 Hope your day was equally productive as yesterday! Including HIO lol. It always feels so good to get a lot accomplished.
@PepperAT Could DH ask to get an SA done? I mean, you still have time before the year mark, but that is something that's easy enough and cheap enough to get done. Maybe getting it done will help in the long run? Sorry you're feeling so down

@JediAlly85 Glad DS's part turned out a success! FX for O soon.
@kellybean1988 Eating is also my favorite activity! Any season lol.
@safire3 Wow your plants are gorgeous!
@cabu14 Good luck at your appointment tomorrow! I really hope you get good news!
@hunnybunny17 On the cusp of DH giving me our own trigger shot, what do you mean by DH didn't leave the needle in so you didn't bleed?
@virginiaham FX O soon! Sounds like you have a good plan of attack this week though!
@Marley629 Sorry for CD 1. I know how awful the Sixth Month Slump can be

@MollyandD Glad you made out safely this weekend. Having zero control over your body is so frustrating! But it sounds like you have a good plan set into place with having the preseed just incase.
@linzrunz Hope your day was bearable! And alcohol made an appearance.!
@MondaLisaRalphio Fx for those CH's!
@DoctorDonna I'm sorry you're out this cycle, but I'm sure doing the Whole30 will help take your mind off things! It will also give you time to research the game plan the RE laid out. I know I researched the F out of ours!
@hanna133 I hate when the interney goes out! We have satellite and it cuts out during bad storms here too!
@SteelerFan78 I'm sorry you're having a rough day. I think, despite it being a hard pull to swallow, getting a referral to an RE now is a good thing. It might save you more heartache you know?
@sweetyjenj That's an massive move! Good luck with the change over!
@QueenSunscreen I always get my cycle days wrong too lol. Especially during the long cycles because I'm too lazy to check.
@Lecool I love eating out on the deck! We're currently powering washing ours so we can stain it, all fresh for summer!
@Kiki75 Fx HIO was good enough for O!
@LittleChick2 Oh my god, I really hope your puppy is okay!
@Mythril I'm sorry, WHAT THE HELL?! Who brings an entire meal to a freaking BBQ? That WAS rude and I don't blame you for being mad. I'm sure you put a lot of effort into your food!
@NamelessAria Sounds like you had good timing either way!

Month/Cycle: 8/5CD: 3
WAYDTGKU: Waiting ONE MORE DAY!
R/R/CS: So tomorrow I have an 8am appt at the RE's to get blood work. I believe their going to tell me to start Letrozole tomorrow night! I'm excited!! Not sure if their going to make me take it CD 4-10, so I guess I'll see tomorrow morning. So glad they open it so early, as I don't have to miss work just to get blood work. I am really excited to start, did I mention that?!GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do outside in the summer? I really like to just be outside! DH and I are redoing our from and back deck. Power washing it and staining it, and I can't wait to get a new patio set. Then eat all the good on the front deck!! I also just discovered last year that I like to garden. Despite having worked at a garden center for the last 11 years....

Want a personalized experience?

WTO Sunday!
