WAYDTGKU: Met, PNVs, OPKs, Preseed when needed, BD ED
R/R/CS: Going on my 3rd day of flashing smile on CBAD. Going to test again today after work though I have a feeling at some point today I will have my surge. And if history repeats I will probably O today too. DH and I are getting kind of tired BD ED since thursday...
GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid?
Starting around 15 I was kind of a trouble maker. I fell in with I guess what you would call the "punk" crowd. I still went to all my classes and did fairly well, solid B student. But we did a lot of stupid things after school and on weekends. Stealing road signs, partying, going to concerts. I started playing in a band. My parents didnt like my friends or any guy I dated at this time. I actually met my DH in highschool but he was such a good boy. We were friends but he was much tamer than I was. Thats why I think it clicked in college when we started dating, we balanced each other out.
My favorite memory would probably be going to Warped Tour in the summer. This was before it got all Pop and had real good punk bands. We would cram a bunch of us in a car and go and one year we even snuck in. We always had fun at concerts. I really loved seeing all my favorite bands live.
R/R/CS: Well, I changed my thermometer today. I fully understand that you shouldn't change mid-cycle but since my last one wasn't making sense and kept repeating temps, I decided just to do it. Plus, it's not like I'm going to ovulate anyway.
GTKY: I can't choose just one memory! But they all involve my best friend that I've been best friends with since 3rd grade. I was definitely a good kid and I had a blast in high school!
<b>WAYDTGKU: </b>CBADv started yesterday, and blinkie smiley today!!! You know what that means....<b> </b><img src="https://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/scar12.gif" alt="" height="215" width="334"> Plus all the other things.
<b>R/R/CS</b>: I don't even care about my temps right now, just happy to be in FW. ;)
<b>GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid?</b> My all-time favourite memory is probably our choir trip to Asia. Utterly unforgettable. I was mostly a good kid, but also a bit up to no good, so I did get in trouble for partying a little too hard when we were abroad. Whoops! Another favourite memory includes sneaking off-campus to hang out in the woods with my gf's. I forget what we called ourselves, but there were four of us with pretty cool, different kind of names and we fancied ourselves a coven of sweet little woodland hippy faeries. lol Good times.
ETA @JediAlly85 omg we totally would have been hanging out in HS! That is before my parents opted to send me away to boarding school in New England, cos they didn't like the crowd I was hanging out with. Bad influence on me and whatnot. lol I didn't do warped tour, but I remember OzzFest with Tool was pretty epic, and getting asked to leave the System of a Down tour bus by some kind of lame-o who was all, "You're 15?!?!? Get this girl off the freaking bus before we have a lawsuit on our hands!!!" lol Loser. ;)
WAYDTGKU: Ya know, probably nothing.... Except temp so I at least know things are functioning.
R/R/CS: After this weekend, I am pretty done with stuff for awhile. Finances are not so great at the moment thanks to trying to be responsible adults and build credit and make way for a good future. I am cancelling my appt for tomorrow with RE for baseline ultrasound. Not going to do the trigger or TI. so for a month or two it'll be back to TTC naturally with no guidance. If we HIO we HIO. If we don't, then meh. Maybe it is just because its Monday I feel like such a crab ass... none the less it still sucks.
*TW - child mentioned* On the up side, my mom invited me to go to the zoo with her, dad and my nephew. That was big fun. I don't ever get to spend time with them.
GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid? I loved in freshman year (of public school) I was the only freshman on the varsity swim team. And that I also gave quite a few of the seasoned seniors a run for their money. And then because I was put in private school, I was able to excel and graduate a year early. I was a good kid. Quiet, shy.
R/R/CS: 2nd day at higher temp! Hoping for CH so I can move over to TWW tomorrow! Also if I really did ovulate Saturday we had great timing. -3,-1,0,+1! Also it means my cycle is decreasing by a couple of days which is good since I'm still regulating off BCP.
GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid? I didn't have a real good time in HS. I was suffering from depression and used to cut myself and was pretty lonely. I was dating a guy who made this worse because he got really jealous and wouldn't let me see the friends I did have so I ended up loosing most of them. This continued through my first couple years of college but then got better after I dumped the guy had a couple wilder years and now I'm in a much better place. So not really any happy memories from that period of my life.

R/R/CS: 3rd day of blinky smiley on CBAD. Still negative on the regular OPKs though. I've never Oed before CD 19 so this is probably normal for me (first cycle using OPKs) but I'm really anxious for things to get moving. Come on O!
GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid?
I wasn't a troublemaker..a pretty good kid all around. My fave HS memory was our HS ring day.. it was a really big deal at my school and we had a big dance the night before, then the actual ring day the school was decorated according to a secret theme (chosen by the junior class) and it was just a huge party with everyone cheering while you got your ring. We felt like celebrities, haha.
WAYDTGKU: PNV, green tea (today was my last coffee day)
R/R/CS: DH is going to be out of town this weekend, which is the start of FW. Strangely optimistic that this helps our chances. We normally go into FW full speed ahead and then fail to BD on the most important days. Hopefully this will work in our favor.
GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid? I was as good a kid as you could possibly be. I never, ever got into trouble. I went to a boarding school and my favorite memory was that we had house banquets two times a year (seriously, think Harry Potter). It was a chance to get dressed up and celebrate the end of the term. We all loved it and looked forward to them every term.
Cycle: 3 CD: 1 WAYDTGKU: The 3 letter things R/R/CS: Reallllllly hoping 3rd time is a charm for me. I was actually thankful to see the start of AF this morning because I knew I wasn't pregnant for the past few days so I just wanted to get this cycle started. GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid?
I don't honestly have tons of favorite high school memories - maybe graduating haha. I dealt with a ton of depression and anxiety when I was a teenager so college and beyond was much better for me. I was a pretty normal kid with my behavior. I never did anything too bad, but I occasionally skipped a math class here or there.
R/R/CS: it's been so hot and we don't have AC. To cool our house off, we open our windows at night, but it hasn't been very cool lately. It rained last night and it finally got cold enough to cool the house off. Thank goodness!
This part of my cycle is so boring. I'm impatient and want to get stuff going!
GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid?
I was a good kid. I was in choir and swimming. Those are probably some of my best memories: swim meets, choir performances, contests. I don't really have a lot of friends at this point in my life, but in HS I had a really awesome core group of friends. We still keep in touch, but I don't live near any of them. I miss having those relationships.

@BusinessWife thats awesome! I loved system of a down! I was mostly into punk but a BF I had was a total metal head and got me into some harder bands like system, slipknot, ozzy, metallica...we totally woulda been friends!
R/R/CS: HSG and follow up appointment with the RE tomorrow. Trying to only think happy thoughts today!
GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid? I was a mixture of both, like a lot of you it seems! Definitely got into some trouble but somehow managed to keep good grades.
R/R/CS: FF tells me I'm 5 DPO but I have yet to turn an OPK so I don't know.
GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid? I was a good kid for the most part. My entire high school experience consisted of choir, band, more choir, more band. That being said my favourite high school memory was definitely our French class trip to France and Spain.
R/R/CS: We have eggwhites! EOD and OPKs until I get a spike. I'm so happy things seem to be going back to normal this month
GTKY: I was very independent as a teen, not a good kid or a troublemaker really. I do have a lot of good memories of getting to spend every waking moment with awesome friends though- bonfires and concerts and long drives, so that is something I miss.
@marriedhamstermom I'm so sorry to hear you had such a rough time back then, but glad to hear you are in a better place. I had some similar kind of dark tendencies I think, I tried not to get too far into cutting (bc scars) but definitely was pierced all over the place. Like ridiculous over the top double tongue piercings etc. My "bf" situation at the time was a little different, but still not great for other reasons. For me it was the last serious bf I had out of college, (and even a couple less longterm ones after him), that were just terrible bad, bad news. Isolating me from my friends and family and starting to actually believe that I was just a total worthless piece of shh garbage. :( It took a pretty profound change in me to be in a place where I could have healthy relationships again, but man, am I just grateful today that I have today, and it sounds like you have too! ((hugs))
R/R/CS: Working from home today for the AC repairs which is a pain with all my weekly reporting. I hate doing that stuff from a laptop. But I'm happy to be sitting at home with my dogs instead of at the office...I just wish I was sleeping like they are!
Last month I ovulated on CD17, so I started testing twice a day yesterday. I didn't have any issues with the CBAD this cycle, so that was a positive. I have 1 of those left, so debating on using it tomorrow or waiting to confirm a peak reading with it if it registers on the Wondfos.
GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid? I was definitely a good kid. I think my favorite would have to be our trip to Italy. I went for 2 weeks with a small group of my friends with our Spanish teacher (I know..random lol) and it was such an awesome experience.
R/R/CS: Had another batch of EWCM today, should probably try to have sex once or twice in the next couple of days. DH has to travel for work at the end of the week, which is when I think i'll actually ovulate, so I don't have super high hopes this cycle. But we can give it the old college try!
GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid? I was a quasi-troublemaker with the reputation of being a good kid haha. Nothing super stands out. The first time I drank, I was at a house party with my two best friends...one of them wasn't drinking, as she was our driver, and we were all staying at her house that night. The other girl and I got super drunk, so the driver took us to Friendly's to get some ice cream and sober up before bringing us to her parents' house. We told the party host we'd come back afterwards to help her clean up. As we were driving back into the neighborhood, as if out of a movie, there were just DOZENS of kids running through the streets away from the house. We found our very drunk friend running through the street with a beer in each hand and asked her what was going on and she was like "her parents came home! we had to leave!" This girl was supposed to be staying at the party house that night, so instead we put her in the car with us. the driver had told her mom that 2 people were staying over that night, so we decided I was the most sober and I wound up going back to my own house. I guess I was sober enough to come up with a decent excuse for my parents, because they had no idea that I was drinking underage until I was already in college.
R/R/CS: WTO is the worst! Seriously I am so impatient! I have my follie scan tomorrow. I'm super nervous, because I really hope the clomid did its thing. If not then we have to up the dose and try again and I'll have to wait out the rest of this cycle. If I have a good sized follie we can trigger and hope for the best. Last night dh was saying how he really hopes my scan goes well because he is so ready to be a dad. It broke my heart a little bit. I'm thankful he's been so supportive through this
GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid? I was a good kid. I dedicated most of my time to the ballet company I was in, but I made some awesome friends along the way. We always had so much fun and those people are still my friends to this day.

R/R/CS: Chart Stalk! This is my first month temping. My temp took a significant dip on CD 9 and has been rising since then. I didn't temp yesterday. Is it possible that I O'd on CD 10? I thought that would be early, but since this is my first month temping, I don't really know when I O. FF has my FW starting today with possible O days from CD 17 to 19. Also, the temp spike on CD 5 was due to a little too much drinking the night before.
GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid?
I loved high school. I was on the softball team which is where I gained the majority of my friends. We went to Disney World one year for a softball tournament and that was a great memory. Football games, pep rallies, etc. I got good grades and graduated in the top 10% of my class. I started out "good" and then as I got older and more independent, I started to push boundaries. Senior year a group of friends and I drove to a town about 30-45 minutes away and stole a street sign in the middle of the night. I skipped quite a few classes senior year (I already only had 4 classes that year). And got my older sister to buy me and my friends alcohol on occasion.
@furbabymom2007 and @antoto I'm sorry about cd1. Lots of hugs and good vibes to both of you
Cycle: 8/7

WAYDTGKU: just pnvs right now
R/R/CS: Gonna call some doctors today to possibly get the ball rolling on a few tests.
GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid I was a pretty good kid. I had an amazing group of girl friends. My favorite memories are probably sneaking out (telling our parents we were sleeping over at each other's houses) when we'd really go out clubbing in DC and then we'd sleep in our cars. Sounds like an awful night to me now but it was so much fun back then. Also just the nights getting together and cooking together with the same group of friends.

WAYDTGKU: First month temping so, of course, I think I'm doing it wrong. Terrified (well, intimidated) by OPKs and it's too late to get some cheapies on Amazon, Clomid 150 mg CDs 3 - 7, HIO
R/R/CS: I have to say I'm really enjoying the support this group gives each other. This is such a bizzaro thing to go through (especially with my AMA) and it just makes it better being here. I'm done being sappy...as you were.
GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid? I loved high school for the most part. I went to the same school 1st through 12th grade so I knew everyone. I was a cheerleader which was probably my favorite part of school. Although me and my best friends on the squad were the trouble making cheerleaders...not the super peppy, have all the cute boys and turn our noses up at others kind. It was fun to shatter the mold of those before us and blow people's minds that we just really liked everyone.

R/R/CS: I had insomnia last night so I really don't want to be at work today
GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid? I was the awkward science nerd in a very rural area so the best part of high school was leaving for university
R/R/CS: Starting to get anxious about another long cycle possibly. Also, I don't know if I've mentioned this, but I've officially been off anxiety/depression medication for about a year now. Usually it's manageable but yesterday I think the combination of a lot of things led to a big breakdown and I cried for over an hour. I was feeling pretty low yesterday and I'm still not feeling okay. Work is one of those things that was getting to me so I'm dreading going in today.
GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid? I hate to be this person, but I really didn't like high school. I was a good kid, I'd never been to a party, and had a 4.6 GPA my senior year. **TW ahead** I also had parents that watched my every move like a hawk and my senior year a boyfriend that eventually became emotionally abusive during the first part of college, and because I felt like I deserved his crap even after I dumped him, I let it continue for 2ish years. I really regret starting to date him in high school. **End TW** My favorite memory was getting into the college I most wanted to attend, UCSB.
DD born PPROM preemie at 36 weeks on 10/1/17 after over a year TI, then 3 failed IUIs, and finally a successful IVF FET.
Due with #2 5/2/19 after HIO once in my FW, because apparently that's how life works now. Team Blue!
CD: 8. Right? @Felix08@BusinessWife@linzrunz I didn't check FF, but I feel like we are starting to get close to something happening!
WAYDTGKU: Started temping again this morning, trying to remember to take my vitamins and hopefully HIO.( it's been awhile) Really hoping that my OPKs arrive in the mail today and than I can start with that too.
R/R/CS: I am really trying to stay positive with TTC right now, but I just feel like I am in a funk. I don't feel like doing anything and I just want to give up. We had a family BBQ yesterday and my SIL announced they are pregnant with their 2nd. I am super excited about being an Auntie again, but I just want it to be our turn. I am a total debbie-downer lately.
GTKY: I dunno. Wasn't a big fan of HS. I skipped a lot, but didn't get into much trouble.
@PepperAT you got it babe! CD8 = can we bone yet? lol I'm glad to hear about your SiL's 2nd, but bummed for you too. I know the feeling of wanting it to be your turn. DH's cousin's wife's shower is this weekend; she's due in August and I keep thinking about what my projected due date would be if we GKU this cycle, and how far apart the cousin-babies would be... Hoping they would still be close enough to be about-same-age playmates... Sigh... (((panda hugs))) <img title="Image: https://www.pbh2.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/cutest-panda-gifs-hugs.gif" src="https://www.pbh2.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/cutest-panda-gifs-hugs.gif" alt="" height="245" width="500">
@KirstinH88 Ya, CD10 seems a bit early, but it's definitely possible. Other than CD5 are your temps reliable? It really helps to watch other signs too, like CM to see where things line up. Did you notice any EWCM that has since changed/dried up?
@20T GL with your appointment tomorrow! FX for positive results. @linzrunz Ugh! Our house is so hot too. Opening the windows is not helping at all. I am not allowed to complain around H though, cause we bought this house brand new and A/C was one of the options that we turned down and he hasn't let it go since. @momtoleo GL with better timing! The same thing happens to us, we always get burnt out before the day that actually matters. Some time away should help for sure!
Sorry about CD1 @antoto and @furbabymom2007 I think it is cruel joke of mother nature to allow that to happen on a Monday of all days! Take it easy today.
@GrabberBlue2010 Sorry that your plans are getting set back due to finances and that you have to cancel your appointments. Maybe a step back is all you guys need and when the time is right you can jump back in! *hugs to you*
@linzrunz We don't have AC either, but we have a couple small units for two of the bedrooms upstairs. Is that a possibility? The we also do this crazy thing to get a breeze going where we open a few windows downstairs and then have the giant air-mover pointing outside the walk-in closet window. That thing is powerful! <img title="Image: https://www.steam-brite.com/images/P-200AT-air-mover-xpower-Ma.jpg" src="https://www.steam-brite.com/images/P-200AT-air-mover-xpower-Ma.jpg" alt="" height="294" width="294">
@BusinessWifeYes, the other temps are reliable. I haven't noticed any EWCM which also makes me think I haven't O'd. I've been waiting for EWCM, which I most definitely get, but it hasn't shown up yet. I guess I will just keep temping and checking CM and definitely HIO. I'm just a little anxious since it's my first cycle temping.
R/R/CS: I've been MIA for a little over a week. DH and I went on our mini vacation and had such a relaxing time. I really needed that to just shut my brain off for a while. Now i'm trying to get back into the swing of things.
My temps are ALL over the place. My chart looks like a mountain range. I'll get one morning of a high-ish temp and then the next day it plummets. Also how much alcohol consumption actually affects temps? I mean, like one beer at 3 in the afternoon shouldn't have any affect the next morning right? I am super excited today though because i finally am seeing full on textbook EWCM. I was ready to just accept that i probably wasn't going to ovulate this month either, but this is giving me hope now! I told DH that if we had time this morning before work, i would've jumped him, but since we didn't, he'd better prepare for it tonight.
GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid? I played lacrosse in high school, and my favorite memory was making the varsity team my second year playing (jr year in high school) AND being made one of three captains. My dorky self had never been more excited!

WAYDTGKU: PNVs, Temping, CM, Green tea. Will start OPKs.
R/R/CS: Temp keeps going lower, think I'll try an OPK today just to see.
GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid? HS started off bad. I was hanging with the wrong people, depressed and not doing well in school because of it. Then, a new HS opened and I transferred. I made new friends, became more involved with different extracurriculars, taking AP courses again and my GPA was much better. Eventually graduated with honors and got an amazing scholarship. Unfortunately during that time, I was in a relationship that became unhealthy (to say the least) and lasted through the first couple years of college. I guess my favorite memory was graduating and getting scholarships
R/R/CS: We went 100 mph all weekend so I feel like I never got a weekend. Plus this is the first month I have temped and I am failing horribly. I didn't even remember to do it Saturday or SUnday. My temps are all over the place too. Ugh. OPKs have always been accurate for me, so lets hope that holds true for this month.
GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid? I am still BFFs with my best friend from high school, so we walk down memory lane all the time. We were definitely bad kids haha. We spent our entire senior year drunk. It was a blast and I am glad I had some very fun very fun party days.

@BusinessWife@PepperAT Usually it's not a big deal. We live in the mountains, so it generally cools off enough at night. But we've had an unusually hot spell and cloud cover, which means it stays warm at night. We always get nervous when we wake up and the house is only 70*. For most people it's comfortable, but we know that usually means that the house will be over 80* by the end of the day. We have fans in storage, but we haven't taken our lazy butts over to get them yet. It's supposed to cool off and only be in the 70s (instead of 90s*) starting tomorrow I think, so that will help!
As for CD8, I feel bored! I still have until the weekend before it could possibly be my FW and I'm just like ugh! Hurry it up! OPKs should be here tomorrow so I can start those on Wednesday at least. So jealous @BusinessWife! Time to get it on!!!
@PepperAT Also, sorry about the pregnancy announcement. I swear all I saw on FB yesterday was announcements, gender reveals, and baby bumps. Hugs to you!
@GrabberBlue2010 Amen to those gifs and I'm sorry you're having such a rough TTC day. I hope your day starts to get better!
R/R/CS: I saw my OBGYN today for some concerns about my cycle, and ended up getting a sonogram and a referral to an RE. I'm happy and relieved to be able to move forward with testing since we've had great timing every cycle and I feel like something must be wrong. We'll be seeing the RE next week. I'm a little nervous about all of the testing that will come, but like I said, happy to be moving forward.
GTKY: I was a very good student, but a bit of a troublemaker too. I mean, I wasn't a bad kid by any means, but I had plenty of fun. My best memories from H.S. are probably field parties -- dancing and drinking and having endless fun with friends in a field in the middle of nowhere with a bonfire lighting up the night.
R/R/CS: We find our new home and have been busy doing all things necessary to buy/sell at the same time. Starting to think about boxing everything up and really wishing we could move into our new home with a baby on the way, ::sigh:: hopeful thinking.
GTKY: At the time I thought I was a badass rebel child but in reality I wasn't. I was overall a really good kid who made pretty smart decisions with the occasional dumb moment. Never really drank excessively or did drugs, but always had a good time. Went to a lot of concerts my bf at the time was a drummer so we were always going to see local bands and what not. I wasn't popular but wasn't unpopular either, just kind of hung out in the middle somewhere. Grade school wasn't too much fun for me because I developed very early and quickly. Size D boobs in 3rd grade wasn't much fun. High school I went to a catholic all girls school, so yeah that was that.
R/R/CS: Ok. So I have no idea if I ovulated (which I why I'm posting here instead of TWW). FF predicted it for Saturday and I had some cramping. But I've had zero EWCM. I've actually had basically no CM at all. I think I have a little today, but it's so minimal that I can't tell. I stopped my allergy meds two days ago because I thought maybe that was drying me up and I'm drinking plenty of water. It also could just be that I haven't o'd yet. I need to find a way to start temping without DH thinking I've gone off the deep end (He's very much about the laid back approach).
Did anyone have issues with not having CM when coming off the pill (or in general)? What can I do?
GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid? I was a goody two shoes. My favorite memories stem from my awesome birthday parties. I used to do a themed birthday parties (Star Wars, superheroes, 60's) and my friends loved it.
@RunBooRun - Yes, I had issues with CM coming off the pill. It can take awhile for that to normalize. Allergy meds can definitely dry up CM, too! Even several months after going off the pill, I never had EWCM, so I started taking a supplement called FertileCM (available on Amazon), which did help me after about 2 months on it. Drinking lots of water helps, too, and there are other things you can do like take guaifenesin (Robitussin), but make sure it's the plain kind without any letters after it! Some ladies also say certain types of tea help, but I haven't had luck with that personally. Good luck! Oh, and for the temping thing... I think my husband thought I was crazy at first too. Just tell him it helps you understand your body and your hormones better, and helps you know if you are ovulating.

R/R/CS: i starting temping this cycle at CD4 at 6 am but I need to move it up to 5 am as of today. I don't know how this is going to affect my chart this month OH goes for SA Tuesday morning. All of my testing/bloodwork came back good
GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid?
i really did not enjoy HS at all. I was a goody two shoes but I pushed the envelope more than my older sister did. But definitely a lot less than my little sisters.
@BusinessWife ((hugs)) to you too! I definitely would have gone the piercing route had my parents not been so strict! I was embarrassed of my scars for a long time but now they are just part of me and they help remind me of how far I've come since then.
@RunBooRun My cycle was all messed up my first month off BCP. I think it's getting better already at cycle 2 but not really sure yet and it's definitely not completely normal. I think I'm going to try preseed next cycle if I don't get KU this one because I don't have much CM still. DH definitely thinks that temping is strange but I think he's more on board since I showed him the temp shift. He saw I've been recording when we've BD and he thought that was a bit strange also but later admitted he was happy I'm doing all this because he wants a baby.

GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid?
Starting around 15 I was kind of a trouble maker. I fell in with I guess what you would call the "punk" crowd. I still went to all my classes and did fairly well, solid B student. But we did a lot of stupid things after school and on weekends. Stealing road signs, partying, going to concerts. I started playing in a band. My parents didnt like my friends or any guy I dated at this time. I actually met my DH in highschool but he was such a good boy. We were friends but he was much tamer than I was. Thats why I think it clicked in college when we started dating, we balanced each other out.
My favorite memory would probably be going to Warped Tour in the summer. This was before it got all Pop and had real good punk bands. We would cram a bunch of us in a car and go and one year we even snuck in. We always had fun at concerts. I really loved seeing all my favorite bands live.

My all-time favourite memory is probably our choir trip to Asia. Utterly unforgettable. I was mostly a good kid, but also a bit up to no good, so I did get in trouble for partying a little too hard when we were abroad. Whoops! Another favourite memory includes sneaking off-campus to hang out in the woods with my gf's. I forget what we called ourselves, but there were four of us with pretty cool, different kind of names and we fancied ourselves a coven of sweet little woodland hippy faeries. lol Good times.
ETA @JediAlly85 omg we totally would have been hanging out in HS! That is before my parents opted to send me away to boarding school in New England, cos they didn't like the crowd I was hanging out with. Bad influence on me and whatnot. lol I didn't do warped tour, but I remember OzzFest with Tool was pretty epic, and getting asked to leave the System of a Down tour bus by some kind of lame-o who was all, "You're 15?!?!? Get this girl off the freaking bus before we have a lawsuit on our hands!!!" lol Loser. ;)

R/R/CS: After this weekend, I am pretty done with stuff for awhile. Finances are not so great at the moment thanks to trying to be responsible adults and build credit and make way for a good future. I am cancelling my appt for tomorrow with RE for baseline ultrasound. Not going to do the trigger or TI. so for a month or two it'll be back to TTC naturally with no guidance. If we HIO we HIO. If we don't, then meh. Maybe it is just because its Monday I feel like such a crab ass... none the less it still sucks.
*TW - child mentioned*
On the up side, my mom invited me to go to the zoo with her, dad and my nephew. That was big fun. I don't ever get to spend time with them.
GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid?
I loved in freshman year (of public school) I was the only freshman on the varsity swim team. And that I also gave quite a few of the seasoned seniors a run for their money.
And then because I was put in private school, I was able to excel and graduate a year early.
I was a good kid. Quiet, shy.

R/R/CS: 2nd day at higher temp! Hoping for CH so I can move over to TWW tomorrow! Also if I really did ovulate Saturday we had great timing. -3,-1,0,+1! Also it means my cycle is decreasing by a couple of days which is good since I'm still regulating off BCP.
GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid? I didn't have a real good time in HS. I was suffering from depression and used to cut myself and was pretty lonely. I was dating a guy who made this worse because he got really jealous and wouldn't let me see the friends I did have so I ended up loosing most of them. This continued through my first couple years of college but then got better after I dumped the guy had a couple wilder years and now I'm in a much better place. So not really any happy memories from that period of my life.

GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid?
I wasn't a troublemaker..a pretty good kid all around. My fave HS memory was our HS ring day.. it was a really big deal at my school and we had a big dance the night before, then the actual ring day the school was decorated according to a secret theme (chosen by the junior class) and it was just a huge party with everyone cheering while you got your ring. We felt like celebrities, haha.

R/R/CS: DH is going to be out of town this weekend, which is the start of FW. Strangely optimistic that this helps our chances. We normally go into FW full speed ahead and then fail to BD on the most important days. Hopefully this will work in our favor.
GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid? I was as good a kid as you could possibly be. I never, ever got into trouble. I went to a boarding school and my favorite memory was that we had house banquets two times a year (seriously, think Harry Potter). It was a chance to get dressed up and celebrate the end of the term. We all loved it and looked forward to them every term.

GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid?
I was a good kid. I was in choir and swimming. Those are probably some of my best memories: swim meets, choir performances, contests. I don't really have a lot of friends at this point in my life, but in HS I had a really awesome core group of friends. We still keep in touch, but I don't live near any of them. I miss having those relationships.

Last month I ovulated on CD17, so I started testing twice a day yesterday. I didn't have any issues with the CBAD this cycle, so that was a positive. I have 1 of those left, so debating on using it tomorrow or waiting to confirm a peak reading with it if it registers on the Wondfos.
GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid? I was definitely a good kid.

R/R/CS: Had another batch of EWCM today, should probably try to have sex once or twice in the next couple of days. DH has to travel for work at the end of the week, which is when I think i'll actually ovulate, so I don't have super high hopes this cycle. But we can give it the old college try!
GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid? I was a quasi-troublemaker with the reputation of being a good kid haha. Nothing super stands out. The first time I drank, I was at a house party with my two best friends...one of them wasn't drinking, as she was our driver, and we were all staying at her house that night. The other girl and I got super drunk, so the driver took us to Friendly's to get some ice cream and sober up before bringing us to her parents' house. We told the party host we'd come back afterwards to help her clean up. As we were driving back into the neighborhood, as if out of a movie, there were just DOZENS of kids running through the streets away from the house. We found our very drunk friend running through the street with a beer in each hand and asked her what was going on and she was like "her parents came home! we had to leave!" This girl was supposed to be staying at the party house that night, so instead we put her in the car with us. the driver had told her mom that 2 people were staying over that night, so we decided I was the most sober and I wound up going back to my own house. I guess I was sober enough to come up with a decent excuse for my parents, because they had no idea that I was drinking underage until I was already in college.

Last night dh was saying how he really hopes my scan goes well because he is so ready to be a dad. It broke my heart a little bit. I'm thankful he's been so supportive through this

I was a pretty good kid. I had an amazing group of girl friends. My favorite memories are probably sneaking out (telling our parents we were sleeping over at each other's houses) when we'd really go out clubbing in DC and then we'd sleep in our cars. Sounds like an awful night to me now but it was so much fun back then. Also just the nights getting together and cooking together with the same group of friends.

I loved high school for the most part. I went to the same school 1st through 12th grade so I knew everyone. I was a cheerleader which was probably my favorite part of school. Although me and my best friends on the squad were the trouble making cheerleaders...not the super peppy, have all the cute boys and turn our noses up at others kind. It was fun to shatter the mold of those before us and blow people's minds that we just really liked everyone.

R/R/CS: Starting to get anxious about another long cycle possibly. Also, I don't know if I've mentioned this, but I've officially been off anxiety/depression medication for about a year now. Usually it's manageable but yesterday I think the combination of a lot of things led to a big breakdown and I cried for over an hour. I was feeling pretty low yesterday and I'm still not feeling okay. Work is one of those things that was getting to me so I'm dreading going in today.
GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid? I hate to be this person, but I really didn't like high school. I was a good kid, I'd never been to a party, and had a 4.6 GPA my senior year. **TW ahead** I also had parents that watched my every move like a hawk and my senior year a boyfriend that eventually became emotionally abusive during the first part of college, and because I felt like I deserved his crap even after I dumped him, I let it continue for 2ish years. I really regret starting to date him in high school. **End TW** My favorite memory was getting into the college I most wanted to attend, UCSB.
then 3 failed IUIs, and finally a successful IVF FET.

R/R/CS: I am really trying to stay positive with TTC right now, but I just feel like I am in a funk. I don't feel like doing anything and I just want to give up. We had a family BBQ yesterday and my SIL announced they are pregnant with their 2nd. I am super excited about being an Auntie again, but I just want it to be our turn. I am a total debbie-downer lately.

@KirstinH88 Ya, CD10 seems a bit early, but it's definitely possible. Other than CD5 are your temps reliable? It really helps to watch other signs too, like CM to see where things line up. Did you notice any EWCM that has since changed/dried up?
@linzrunz Ugh! Our house is so hot too. Opening the windows is not helping at all. I am not allowed to complain around H though, cause we bought this house brand new and A/C was one of the options that we turned down and he hasn't let it go since.
@momtoleo GL with better timing! The same thing happens to us, we always get burnt out before the day that actually matters. Some time away should help for sure!
Sorry about CD1 @antoto and @furbabymom2007 I think it is cruel joke of mother nature to allow that to happen on a Monday of all days! Take it easy today.
@GrabberBlue2010 Sorry that your plans are getting set back due to finances and that you have to cancel your appointments. Maybe a step back is all you guys need and when the time is right you can jump back in! *hugs to you*

WAYDTGKU: PNV, tracking cm, temping, and HIO
R/R/CS: I've been MIA for a little over a week. DH and I went on our mini vacation and had such a relaxing time. I really needed that to just shut my brain off for a while. Now i'm trying to get back into the swing of things.
My temps are ALL over the place. My chart looks like a mountain range. I'll get one morning of a high-ish temp and then the next day it plummets. Also how much alcohol consumption actually affects temps? I mean, like one beer at 3 in the afternoon shouldn't have any affect the next morning right? I am super excited today though because i finally am seeing full on textbook EWCM. I was ready to just accept that i probably wasn't going to ovulate this month either, but this is giving me hope now! I told DH that if we had time this morning before work, i would've jumped him, but since we didn't, he'd better prepare for it tonight.
GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid? I played lacrosse in high school, and my favorite memory was making the varsity team my second year playing (jr year in high school) AND being made one of three captains. My dorky self had never been more excited!

WAYDTGKU: PNVs, Temping, CM, Green tea. Will start OPKs.
R/R/CS: Temp keeps going lower, think I'll try an OPK today just to see.
GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid? HS started off bad. I was hanging with the wrong people, depressed and not doing well in school because of it. Then, a new HS opened and I transferred. I made new friends, became more involved with different extracurriculars, taking AP courses again and my GPA was much better. Eventually graduated with honors and got an amazing scholarship. Unfortunately during that time, I was in a relationship that became unhealthy (to say the least) and lasted through the first couple years of college. I guess my favorite memory was graduating and getting scholarships

WAYDTGKU: Sex. PV. OPKs
R/R/CS: We went 100 mph all weekend so I feel like I never got a weekend. Plus this is the first month I have temped and I am failing horribly. I didn't even remember to do it Saturday or SUnday. My temps are all over the place too. Ugh. OPKs have always been accurate for me, so lets hope that holds true for this month.
GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid? I am still BFFs with my best friend from high school, so we walk down memory lane all the time. We were definitely bad kids haha. We spent our entire senior year drunk. It was a blast and I am glad I had some very fun very fun party days.

@BusinessWife @PepperAT Usually it's not a big deal. We live in the mountains, so it generally cools off enough at night. But we've had an unusually hot spell and cloud cover, which means it stays warm at night. We always get nervous when we wake up and the house is only 70*. For most people it's comfortable, but we know that usually means that the house will be over 80* by the end of the day. We have fans in storage, but we haven't taken our lazy butts over to get them yet. It's supposed to cool off and only be in the 70s (instead of 90s*) starting tomorrow I think, so that will help!
As for CD8, I feel bored! I still have until the weekend before it could possibly be my FW and I'm just like ugh! Hurry it up! OPKs should be here tomorrow so I can start those on Wednesday at least. So jealous @BusinessWife! Time to get it on!!!
@PepperAT Also, sorry about the pregnancy announcement. I swear all I saw on FB yesterday was announcements, gender reveals, and baby bumps. Hugs to you!
@GrabberBlue2010 Amen to those gifs and I'm sorry you're having such a rough TTC day. I hope your day starts to get better!
Sorry for CD1 @furbabymom2007 and @antoto. I second @ahrains hug gif.
@20T Good luck at your appointment tomorrow!! Also....

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, temping, FertileCM supplement, PNVs...
R/R/CS: I saw my OBGYN today for some concerns about my cycle, and ended up getting a sonogram and a referral to an RE. I'm happy and relieved to be able to move forward with testing since we've had great timing every cycle and I feel like something must be wrong. We'll be seeing the RE next week. I'm a little nervous about all of the testing that will come, but like I said, happy to be moving forward.
GTKY: I was a very good student, but a bit of a troublemaker too. I mean, I wasn't a bad kid by any means, but I had plenty of fun.
@Mokay19 I absolutely love having friends that went through the awkward middle school/high school stages. It's so great to have that bond.
@momtoleo I AM DYING. Any kind of banquet that makes me feel like I attended Hogwarts is where I want to be.
@krys Italy sounds amazing! I was lucky enough to go to Australia as a teen for 3 weeks. Those were memories I will never forget.

Cycle: 16/12 (4/3 ttcal)
CD: 12
WAYDTGKU: OPKs in a couple days, PNVs, Sex
R/R/CS: We find our new home and have been busy doing all things necessary to buy/sell at the same time. Starting to think about boxing everything up and really wishing we could move into our new home with a baby on the way, ::sigh:: hopeful thinking.
GTKY: At the time I thought I was a badass rebel child but in reality I wasn't. I was overall a really good kid who made pretty smart decisions with the occasional dumb moment. Never really drank excessively or did drugs, but always had a good time. Went to a lot of concerts my bf at the time was a drummer so we were always going to see local bands and what not. I wasn't popular but wasn't unpopular either, just kind of hung out in the middle somewhere. Grade school wasn't too much fun for me because I developed very early and quickly. Size D boobs in 3rd grade wasn't much fun. High school I went to a catholic all girls school, so yeah that was that.
CD: 15
WAYDTGKU: PNV, HIO, CM
R/R/CS: Ok. So I have no idea if I ovulated (which I why I'm posting here instead of TWW). FF predicted it for Saturday and I had some cramping. But I've had zero EWCM. I've actually had basically no CM at all. I think I have a little today, but it's so minimal that I can't tell. I stopped my allergy meds two days ago because I thought maybe that was drying me up and I'm drinking plenty of water. It also could just be that I haven't o'd yet. I need to find a way to start temping without DH thinking I've gone off the deep end (He's very much about the laid back approach).
Did anyone have issues with not having CM when coming off the pill (or in general)? What can I do?
GTKY: We did favourite childhood memories... What was your favourite High School memory? Were you a trouble-maker or pretty much a good kid? I was a goody two shoes. My favorite memories stem from my awesome birthday parties. I used to do a themed birthday parties (Star Wars, superheroes, 60's) and my friends loved it.

R/R/CS: i starting temping this cycle at CD4 at 6 am but I need to move it up to 5 am as of today. I don't know how this is going to affect my chart this month

i really did not enjoy HS at all. I was a goody two shoes but I pushed the envelope more than my older sister did. But definitely a lot less than my little sisters.

@RunBooRun My cycle was all messed up my first month off BCP. I think it's getting better already at cycle 2 but not really sure yet and it's definitely not completely normal. I think I'm going to try preseed next cycle if I don't get KU this one because I don't have much CM still. DH definitely thinks that temping is strange but I think he's more on board since I showed him the temp shift. He saw I've been recording when we've BD and he thought that was a bit strange also but later admitted he was happy I'm doing all this because he wants a baby.
