CS/Q:

GTKY: What is your astrological sign? Do you think your personality matches what is said about people born under your sign? Do you and your partner "match up" according to what they say?

R/R: Done with conferences! PTO presentation tonight, report cards this weekend, and then I'm free to Bump as much as I want when our mobile data cycle renews on Saturday!

I'm trying not to get depressed about TTC, but 34 is staring me in the face really soon. My birthday is in March and the closer I get to December, the more anxious I get about it. I did have an amazing dream within a dream last night where I suddenly had this gorgeous blue eyed baby girl in my arms. She was about 6 months old and could talk clearly enough to tell me her name was Hannah. It was weird and surreal. Obviously none of it makes sense and that's a name I've never even thought about.

CS/Q: nope, waiting for my temps to go up

GTKY: What is your astrological sign? Do you think your personality matches what is said about people born under your sign? Do you and your partner "match up" according to what they say?

I asked this question because it is in my students' culture to have arranged marriages and I recently learned that they consult astrological charts to determine matches and to pick a wedding date. I always wondered why they got married so fast and sometimes in the middle of the week! I also saw people talking about trying for babies that would be born under certain signs on a BMB a few months ago. Crazy! Anyway, I am a Pisces (like many of my college friends, but that's a story for another day since it was done on purpose) and DH is a Virgo. Those are signs that are said to match and our personalities are a lot like they describe. That being said, I take astrology stuff with a grain of salt.

WAYDTGKU: The usual.

R/R: I have an easy day at work. I have a gal coming to talk about potentially becoming a groomer. I haven't been able to keep up with everything on my own so I need a part timer. I have mixed feelings about someone else touching my clients lol but I'm thinking about the future as well. If I do get KTFU I will have someone else to take over.

CS/Q: I woke up at 5:10 and was worried I wouldn't fall back to sleep so I temped. 36.2. Then I fell back to sleep and temped at my usual time 6:30. 36.5. What shall I use ?

GTKY: What is your astrological sign? Do you think your personality matches what is said about people born under your sign? Do you and your partner "match up" according to what they say?
I find this stuff very interesting @NYTino24 so I am interested to read the responses ! I am Cancer and DH is Scorpio - they do match up.

@TravelingCouple good luck!

@NYTino24 - sorry you're getting depressed about the bday approaching.

Fx you don't have to worry about it.
@TravelingCouple - gl with b/w. hope everything goes well.

WAYDTGKU: bbt, opk, cm, cp, pnv, eod, mucinex

R/R: DH came home last night and said there is some sort of red dot on his man parts and that we can't BD until it's gone. My response was...figure it out and get rid of it because fw is quickly approaching and I am not wasting a month! AGH! WTH?! I didn't see it, but he said it's like an ingrown hair or whitehead type of thing...well, go pluck the hair or pop the whitehead and be done with it! (No patience for this!)

CS/Q: Nada.

GTKY: What is your astrological sign? Do you think your personality matches what is said about people born under your sign? Do you and your partner "match up" according to what they say? I'm Cancer. I guess I've believed what I read previously, but I think you could read a lot of them and think they line up with your personality (we read into it what we want to). Idk about the "matching"...he's cancer too.

lulu1180 · November 2016

@NYTino24 Woohoo on conferences being done! Also, I completely understand the birthday thing. I turn 36 next week and this is pretty much me. Fx you get your bfp before that date!

WAYDTGKU: CM, CP, green tea, PNV, magnesium, limiting caffeine

R/R: My emotions have been so up and down the past few days. At one point yesterday, I wasn't even sure I wanted to make an effort to try this cycle. Thankfully, I overcame that and DH and I later had TTC sex that didn't feel like TTC sex (yay!).

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: What is your astrological sign? Do you think your personality matches what is said about people born under your sign? Do you and your partner "match up" according to what they say? I'm a Sagittarius (on the cusp of Scorpio) and some things match up and other don't according to what they say. DH is a Pisces and from what I just looked up, we should have only about 50% compatibility. We are definitely one of those opposites attract couples so that doesn't surprise me much.

@NYTino24 Woo-hoo for making it through conferences!!

Month/Cycle: 6/7

CD: 7

WAYDTGKU: temping, vitamins, CM/CP, OPKs

R/R: Today is my Friday, and I cannot wait for this week to be over. Work has been driving me crazy lately, not because I am busy (which I would not mind at all), but because I feel like I am right on the verge of getting screwed over.

CS/Q: Should I read much into what my temps look like early in my cycle? This is my first cycle temping, so I am still kind of trying to get into the swing of things, but I feel like there has been a lot of fluctuation in my temps so far. It is almost like they are alternating high/low, while progressively getting lower. I guess I am just not sure if this is normal, or if I may be doing something wrong. Today I did get a little thrown off since my dog woke me up about an hour earlier than normal, and today has been my lowest temp yet. If you care to look, there is a link to my chart in my siggy.

GTKY: What is your astrological sign? Do you think your personality matches what is said about people born under your sign? Do you and your partner "match up" according to what they say? I am a Scorpio, and there are some aspects of my personality that seem to match (mostly the jealous, emotional, and loyal aspects) but others that definitely do not (like the controlling or "power hungry" aspects). Overall they say Scorpios are complicated, and I guess I would agree with that. However, I looked up if they would consider DH and I a "match" and apparently according to astrology we are horrible for each other, but I think after almost 12 years together we have proved that wrong

lulu1180 · November 2016

@Pinky917 Definitely don't read into individual temps! You should be looking for an overall trend and the important thing is that you are able to see the temp shift indicating O.

R/R: I decided to turn on the Christmas spirit today. Usually I try to wait until after Thanksgiving to really get into it, but this year has gone by so freaking fast I feel like if I blink I’ll miss it. My commute was the Nsync Christmas Album, now Leslie Odom Jr. and I picked up a Starbucks Peppermint Mocha on my way in this morning. I think we’re going to put up our Christmas lights this weekend. This is literally my favorite time of year.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is your astrological sign? Do you think your personality matches what is said about people born under your sign? Do you and your partner "match up" according to what they say?

I’m a Virgo, I mostly agree with the things they say except for detail oriented. I CAN be detail oriented, but it does not come naturally to me. DH is a Cancer and it seems to fit him well. “They” say that Virgos and Cancers do well together and are both family oriented, natural parents.

flinstone-2 · November 2016

@TravelingCouple good luck at your appointment!!!! You've got this

@NYTino24 what a neat dream, that would give me some hope @Pinky917 agreed with PP, try not to look at individual temps and note as much as you can just in case @lulu1180 not sure if it's the holidays approaching or what, but I think a lot of my TTC friends and myself are all extremely emotional hoping they would have had good news to share by Thanksgiving/Christmas. @KhRun17 that story about the whitehead/ingrown hair made me LOL.

Month/Cycle: "trying" since August, but only 1 ovulation since then and we weren't together so I'm not sure how to count it

CD: 5

WAYDTGKU: temping, cm, green tea, etc.

R/R: I need to clean the house for Thanksgiving (we're hosting), but I just. don't. want. to. CS/Q: n/a

GTKY: What is your astrological sign? Do you think your personality matches what is said about people born under your sign? Do you and your partner "match up" according to what they say? I had to look up our compatibility, but it says we are a match made of positive spirits. I'll take that. I do think the description for Pisces fits me. I've had my astrological chart read before and I have notes somewhere, but the one thing I remember the guy telling me was that I would be romantically "free til 23" and the first time my husband saw me/we were ever in the same place was the week leading up to and the day of my 24th birthday at a work conference. So I never knew if that meant the astrologer was right or not. I'd kind of like to think so just for a little fun.

R/R: DH (or more like TW) and I got in a fight this morning. We sort of made up but not really.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is your astrological sign? Do you think your personality matches what is said about people born under your sign? Do you and your partner "match up" according to what they say?

I'm a cancer and it totally fits me to a T! DH is a Sagittarius and I think it only partially fits him. We're not matches according to astrology but I don't put any stock in that.

R/R: today is our 15 year date-a-versary!! Operation HIO last night went off without a hitch and I had a +opk last night and this morning! I'm thinking today is O day!

CS/Q: those of you who take B6/B complex vitamins, did you get the ok from your dr or did you just start taking them? If my dr is considering my spotting before my period as the start of my period, my LP is even shorter than what I thought (she did say that it shouldn't really impact my ability to get KU though). I need to look into the B vitamin more.

GTKY: What is your astrological sign? Do you think your personality matches what is said about people born under your sign? Do you and your partner "match up" according to what they say?
I'm a Sagittarius and DH is a Gemini. I dont really know much about these, but I looked them up quickly. I think we both fit our signs fairly well and comparability was at 92%!

starla · November 2016

@Pinky917 Why do you feel you'll get screwed over? Hopefully it's nothing major.

WAYDTGKU: The usual things, plus maybe adding in green tea.

R/R: H is leaving for his hunting trip after work. It is also supposed to snow, gross.

CS/Q: I don't have any questions. Just hanging out.

GTKY: What is your astrological sign? Do you think your personality matches what is said about people born under your sign? Do you and your partner "match up" according to what they say?

I am a Scorpio. Some things that they say about my sign do line up with my personality. I do wonder if my personality would have been different if I had been born closer to my due date (because I would have been a differ sign.) I was pretty early.
H and I aren't the best or worst matches for our signs. They seem to work together for us anyway

starla · November 2016

@BertieMeetsGertie Happy date-aversary! Hurray for getting some in your FW!

WAYDTGKU: CM/CP, Temping, green tea, HIO w/ preseed

R/R: Yesterday's flood of BFPs in the grad thread was such a delightful palate cleanser after last weekend's POS drive-by!

CS/Q: Not really sure what in the actual f#ck my body is doing right now. My secondary symptoms all suggest O was yesterday (CM/CP both changed abruptly yesterday afternoon, my normal O headache is gone) but there wasn't really a huge temp shift to match -- normal post O temps for me are around 97.8ish.

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/08/pfdp3i927m8n.jpg

GTKY: I'm a cancer. I don't know much about zodiac signs so I did a quick google. A lot of the typical Cancer traits are spot on for me compassionate, loyal, moody, sensitive. MH is an Aries, though I don't think that really fits his personality. Per my intense research, Cancer/Aries are typically not compatible!

@TravelingCouple sending good vibes your way!!
@NYTino24 Hugs. Sorry about the birthday blues

I understand it all too well. But FX that your surreal dream is a sign of good things to come!
@FLAshley That happens to me a lot. I usually record the first time and record the second time in the notes. That way you can revisit it if you think that it's causing an issue with CHs.
@lulu1180 I'm sorry that your emotions have been all over the place. Hopefully your vacation next week will help you clear your head! And yay for non TTC-feeling sex!
@swimsister Peppermint mocha and 'N Sync christmas album? Hi, let's be best friends.

laurad75 · November 2016

Hi. I go here now. Here's to a fresh new cycle!

@nytino24 Its so stressful knowing you are going to be one year older when you know that is such a big factor in TTC. 34 sounds so young to me but I’m the youngest old person you will ever meet so that’s just me. FX for some luck before March.

@travelingcouple GL and we all hope you get some good news from b/w.

@swimsister It makes me feel so much better that I’m not the only one ready for Christmas. One local radio station here is already playing Christmas music and it put me in a good mood on the way to work. I love the holidays so much – I’m hoping that carries me through the next couple of cycles.

Month/Cycle: 7/8

CD: 1

WAYDTGKU: Nothing but temping and pnvs just yet but I will start clomid on CD 3 and IUI will be scheduled the week after Thanksgiving.

R/R: H and I went to a paint night last night and had a really nice time. He was kind of groaning about going (even though it was literally in our apartment building) but we both really enjoyed it. He hasn't been sleeping ever since the election and he slept through the night for the first time since last night (and I'm talking about H like he's an infant...). I think it really relaxed him. Our paintings are terrible but we are really proud of them.

CS/Q: nah.

GTKY: What is your astrological sign? Do you think your personality matches what is said about people born under your sign? Do you and your partner "match up" according to what they say?

I'm also a Cancer (wassup water signs) and I fit the general description perfectly - sensitive, imaginative, emotional, etc. H is an Aquarius and I never looked up the compatibility until now but its also spot on. We definitely have an opposites attract thing.

@KhRun17 Men can be so squeamish! It's a good thing they're not the ones with uteruses or this shit would never get done.

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 14

WAYDTGKU: BD when possible! 4x so far during FW despite us both traveling for work

R/R: Found out that I won't be traveling during my whole FW next month, yay!

CS/Q: Very slow temp rise after a dip, chart in siggy. I think I will try harder to take temp at exact same time next month to avoid "rocky mountains."

GTKY: What is your astrological sign? Do you think your personality matches what is said about people born under your sign? Do you and your partner "match up" according to what they say?:
I'm a Gemini, and I definitely fit the description, especially the "two minds/two faces" element. DH is a classic Aries and the match profile I read this morning on about.com fits us too. Great question @NYTino24 !

ColoradoHiker · November 2016

@NYTino24 I hear you. I'm 33 also, and it's not a far jump to the dreaded 'advanced maternal age' label. DH and I waited purposely to have kids (not sure if this is the case for you or not), but it just seems like the general consensus is if you go past 35, you're jumping into the abyss of withering ovaries and old eggs. It drives me nuts.

@TravelingCouple , good luck!

Month/Cycle: 2/2

WAYDTGKU: PNVs, OPKs, HIO, BBT

R/R: Rave- My preemie niece is coming home today or tomorrow!!! She was born at 29w, and has been doing absolutely amazing. She's about 34w gestational age now.

CS/Q: Meh, it's not doing much right now. Waiting for a positive OPK.

GTKY: What is your astrological sign? Do you think your personality matches what is said about people born under your sign? Do you and your partner "match up" according to what they say?

I'm a Virgo and DH is a Sag. Our personalities match our sign descriptions perfectly- I'm organized and stable, DH loves risk and impulse. It's a good match!

adirat · November 2016

@NYTino24 Woohoo, glad you're on the other side! I know it's easier said than done, but try not to worry -- I don't think that 35 is a hard cutoff

@TravelingCouple Good luck today! Let us know if you have any questions when you get the results.

@KhRun17 What a baby! Good luck he takes care of it asap.

@Pinky517 I've had many cycles with rocky early temps (so much so that now I don't typically even temp during AF anymore). Not to worry!

@Bertiemeetsgertie Yay today's the day! I started taking a B6/B12 complex without asking a doctor -- it's pretty low risk. I only take it during TWW. Also I don't think it's helping me, but that shouldn't stop others from trying.

@JulesDP I think yesterday could be O -- it's a big jump today compared to yesterday, just not compared to earlier temps. Have you been sick or anything to explain your cd12-13 temps? Where is your coverline usually?

@laurad75 Sorry to see you here -- I really had my FX for your IUI. But hey, Thanksgiving IUI could be the ticket!

Month/Cycle: 6/7

WAYDTGKU: Temping, CM, OPKs, PNVs, CoQ10, vitamin D, green tea, avoiding soy. Pelvic MRI scheduled for Sunday.

R/R: Just found out the train I was going to take to my Sunday MRI doesn't operate on weekends... stupid long island railroad.

CS/Q:

GTKY: I have no idea. I was born in February and he was born in June. I don't even know what our signs are.

CD: 16

WAYDTGKU: all the things

R/R: Still annoyed with FF, I got CHs for cd 11 and then I got them today for cd 13 but looks like it's really cd 14. if my temp tomorrow is close to the cover line it keeps CHs at cd 13, if I put in a temp that's a little higher for tomorrow it puts CHs for cd 14. Hanging here one more day until I have more clarity on O! Hope you ladies don't mind

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is your astrological sign? Do you think your personality matches what is said about people born under your sign? Do you and your partner "match up" according to what they say?
Im a cancer and DH is a Aries like @JulesDP not sure if they match up or not I've never really known much about zodiac signs!

beachbunnyxo123 · November 2016

@adirat how has the avoiding soy been going? I find myself getting so frustrated because it's literally in everything! I have a delayed food allergy to soy so I don't feel the effects sometimes until later in the day or a few days later (pain in my chest from inflamed esophagus). Eating out is the worst, everything is fried or cooked in soybean oil or has it in the dressing!

WAYDTGKU: heading to the endo with H today

R/R: Excited for the appt today to ask some questions. I hope I am not let down.

CS/Q: Nothing yet

GTKY: What is your astrological sign? Do you think your personality matches what is said about people born under your sign? Do you and your partner "match up" according to what they say? I am a Pisces and it fits perfectly. First, I was a competitive swimmer throughout all of high school and college and I did pretty well. My parents always called me a water baby. I even got married by the water. I love the beach. I've even asked to be cremated and tossed into the waves. I also drink like a fish. I can't leave the house without water. Everyone comments on the amount of water I drink everyday and carry with me everywhere. I panic if I don't have my water. Pisces are an artistic group and I am very creative and sew a lot of my creations. Know-it-all, definitely, hate cruelty of any kind, like makes me actually want to throw up. My H has to mute the tv when he knows a bad story is coming on the news. So, yes, it fits me to a T. My H is a Sagittarius, and while as zodiac signs we don't match up perfectly, I think we are a nice fit. He doesn't totally match his sign but he does have a great sense of humor and makes me laugh everyday.

@NYTino24 I feel like age just sneaks up on us. H and I both agreed we would start TTC at 30, and hes turning 32 next month. It just happens so quickly. That is a vivid dream!
@TravelingCouple GL today!
@LadyMillil hope AF is better today!
@BertieMeetsGertie Whoo Hoo for awesome timing! Hopefully O is today!
@laurad75 Sorry for CD1, but I'm glad you're looking at it as a fresh cycle! I keep trying to stay very positive and not spiral into the negativity so that my womb is a welcoming place! Ha. Also, your paintings-my friend had a Halloween costume party and collected "prizes" in her house for costumes. The third place prize was one of her paintings from a painting with a twist party. It was pretty funny.
@vegetalienne Your chart is password protected and I can't see it. I temp at exactly the same time everyday (luckily I am a good sleeper and I have a very regular schedule so I can easily temp at the same time) and I still have rocky mountains, but the overall trend is still under CL before O and then all above CL after O.

Pinky917 · November 2016

@TravelingCouple Good luck today! @lulu1180 @Flinstone @adirat Thanks for keeping me sane ladies. I think the perfectionist side of my brain was kicking in so I was starting to convince myself that I must be messing this up somehow. @Starla Nothing too major, like my job is not in danger or anything like that. A while back I took on a bunch of added responsibilities under the idea that there would likely be a new position coming out for me, and now I am not so sure that may be happening. So now I am just stuck with all the extra work (and still getting more work), and nothing in return.

WAYDTGKU: everything!

R/R: I should O today! heres to hoping the month I decide to not do opks, my body doesn't freak out on me! Outside of ttc, DH and I are decorating the house this weekend for christmas! My in-laws are coming over for thanksgiving, so we can host in our new house! I wish my parents could make it this year, but my moms job is dumb and wouldn't give her Friday off.

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: What is your astrological sign? Do you think your personality matches what is said about people born under your sign? Do you and your partner "match up" according to what they say? We are both Aquarius, Im 2 years older, so we are 2 years and 1 week apart. The traits sort of make sense for me, I am truthful and affectionate, I also do get off track super easy! I dont know if being the same sign as your DH is good or bad.

ohemgee-2 · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 3

CD: 20

WAYDTGKU: all the things

R/R: My temp spiked this morning. Pretty certain yesterday was O day based on all my secondary signs. I've been tracking secondary signs for a while and I'm usually 17-18 Day so we HIO in preparation for that. We tried to HIO last night but H just couldn't finish. I'm a little bummed this was the first month we gave it the best shot timing wise, but I O'd later. Looks like we got -2, -3, -4. I'm trying not to think about it too much, because last cycle we got -1, O and that didn't get us anywhere.

CS/Q: do you think having a cold can delay O? I also started back at the gym. I go through waves with working out - go non-stop then take an extended break. Super fit over here

GTKY: What is your astrological sign? Do you think your personality matches what is said about people born under your sign? Do you and your partner "match up" according to what they say?

Another Cancer here! To be honest, I don't really pay attention to signs too much. I had a horoscope app on my phone, but found I was reading into it way too much, so I deleted it. My H is also a Cancer.

@TravelingCouple good luck with the blood work!
@KhRun17 mayve a bandaid and lots of lube will do the trick

@lulu1180 hope you feel better. Non TTC sex is a novelty now - glad you got some!
@BertieMeetsGertie sounds like you've got some great timing! Fingers X!
@laurad75 Sorry to see you back here. Yay for a nice date night!
@JulesDP loved seeing all the BFP. Makes me feel hopeful!
@ColoradoHiker how exciting for your family! My niece was in the NICU for 7 weeks. It's such a rollercoaster.

JulesDP · November 2016

@adirat thank you for the stalk! I think alcohol may be to blame for higher temps on CD12 and 13.

This is only my 3rd cycle temping. My first cycle's coverline was 97.86. Last month's coverline was 97.36. Aka I'm a temping disaster.

laurad75 · November 2016

@JuneRoseRuby GL at your appt. I always feel better after a convo or meeting with my doc. It makes me feel a little more in control of the process.

adirat · November 2016

@julesdp Yep, alcohol spikes my temps too. I'd ignore those days.

@beachbunnyxo123 It is going... Frustratingly. I never knew how many things have soy lecithin or soybean oil or soy-based margarine. Flavored black tea? Nope. Mayo? Nope. Grocery store bakery cookies? Nope. Burt's Bees chapstick? Nope.

But I do think it was helping -- when I was super hard core about it I got to a 10 day lp. This past cycle I didn't do a good job and was back to 8 days.

I hate to say it, but it's true. Doctors treat you like some old crone. Which sucks, because I feel 25, so I want to scream at him "I'm not old!"

@JulesDP It could be the start of a slow rise. I've had that often, no super "spike" but over the course of three or four days it gets higher and higher, and FF uses the secondary signs to pinpoint O.

WAYDTGKU: Clomid + Ovidrel + IUI + Progesterone

R/R: Doing an IUI is so boring when WTO. At least it's predictable, I suppose. But it's almost Friday and I have chicken wings waiting for dinner!

CS/Q: No.

GTKY: What is your astrological sign? Do you think your personality matches what is said about people born under your sign? Do you and your partner "match up" according to what they say?
My thoughts on astrology can be summed by up Sheldon Cooper:

@adirat wow that's great that it helped!! I have found a lot of good finds that are soy free but it's so hard and makes eating at other places besides home impossible!!

adirat · November 2016

@beachbunnyxo123 I know. Finding out that mayo is made with soybean oil -- even the olive oil mayo -- crossed basically every single sandwich place off the list. I went to the Thai place near my house and asked if they can make dishes without soy sauce and soybean oil and they said yes to the soy sauce but weren't sure about the oil. Sigh.

How do you handle it? Are there cuisines you've found are safe for eating out?

@NYTino24 I can relate to feeling the pressure of TTC! And, I had no idea that cultures with arranged marriages consulted astrology ... very interesting!

@TravelingCouple GL with your blood work!

@KhRun17 OMGGGGG I'd be so frustrated with your DH! I'd tell him to put his big boy pants on and take care of it lol.

@lulu1180 yay for TTC sex that doesn't feel like TTC sex! That's the best

@swimsister I literally LOL'd when I saw you listened to the Nsync Christmas album this morning. Awesomeness!

@Starla sorry you and DH had a fight, hopefully it'll be resolved with make-up sex tonight!

@BertieMeetsGertie yay to your entire r/r! FX so hard for you!

@laurad75 Sending so many good vibes for this fresh cycle! And, I'm very glad your DH enjoyed the evening and was able to sleep better!

@ColoradoHiker So lovely that your niece is doing well enough to go home! Wonderful news!

@JuneRoseRuby GL at your endo appt today!

@Ohemgee I think a cold can delay O. The one cycle that I had a cold I O'd later than usual (but only by 1 day).

@littlebug2010 FX you O today!

WAYDTGKU: the usual... waiting for FW

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/8d/w2ldg5a1b52j.gif

R/R:

No one in my DHs family has mentioned anything about Thanksgiving plans, and he hasn't asked despite me asking him to. We're totally fine just hanging at home and doing Thanksgiving by ourselves (we might actually prefer this), but the odds are that my ILs will wait til the last minute to invite us because they're not great planners and we'll have no good excuse to not attend. I'm a planner, so I hate last minute stuff.

CS/Q: nada

GTKY: What is your astrological sign? Do you think your personality matches what is said about people born under your sign? Do you and your partner "match up" according to what they say?

I'm an Aries, and DH is a cusp Sagittarius/Capricorn (Dec 21). I think my sign is about 75% accurate to me, and my DH seems to have more Capricorn traits than Sagittarius, but neither describe him too well. Aries & Sagittarius are supposed to be great matches, while Aries & Capricorn as less so.

adirat · November 2016

@LuND My husband's family is doing the same thing! There has been a bunch of drama in his family this year so I'm not sure what the Thanksgiving plans are, and there are only certain family members we can stay with when we go there, so planning is required. Yet when I asked yesterday evening when we were going up, and for how long, he just shrugged.

Also, if I ovulate like I have been the last few cycles, I will ovulate the day after Thanksgiving so I reeeeeally don't want to spend much time there and miss the best days of FW. I told him that too lol.

ColoradoHiker · November 2016

@LuND I would just tell them you have plans with friends or something, since they hadn't said anything. If they don't live close enough to easily drive by your house, why not?

Anna_1021 · November 2016

@NYTino24 I so kow what you're talking about with 34. I just passed my 34 landmark in October and ehh.. Now I'm dreading not being able to give birth before turning 35. Not correct, to be honest with TTCing so long now I'm dreading a lot of things :S But FX for you that in a short while you won't have t worry about getting KU before 34.

You still have a lot of time

@TravelingCouple uh, GL on the test!

@KhRun17 Hope that problem resolves soon! We had something like that too back in the spring (it's partly the reason why my months/cycle ratio is so outmatched). That hit me hard, hope yours won't mess with your TTC

(DH went to see a dermatologist)

@lulu1180 Hugs for you. Yay for the sex that didn't feel TTC-y though

(the things we never thought would be happy about... :P A lot of new knowledge comes with TTC)

Month/Cycle: 13/9 (let's say..)

CD: 10

WAYDTGKU: pnv, bbt, charting, opk, green tea, hio eod

R/R: Finally things are getting back in balance now at work, so I'm much less stressed. Still a long while til I O, but at least we can have some sex with DH that is not only for the "higher purpose". Just for fun, you know

CS/Q: There is something I've noticed since I'm charting, ttcing and generally paying more attention to my cycles. Maybe it's just that all the knowledge of hormone changes have me overthinking it

But do you girls also feel that your energy level and maybe even your attitude toward the world changes with the cycle? I've noticed that the 1-1,5 weeks before O I'm energized, happy, well balanced, I'm crazy good powermachine (compared to myself of course) during workouts etc. Comes O and, especially before AF I feel "vulnerable", I'm tired, I'm weeker and even my happiness level declines sometimes. Have any of you noticed this? For me this discovery seems new.

I do see some significance of astrology, don't know how, but the major personality traits are usually match, in my oppinion. Don't read my horoscope or anything though. Both DH and I are Libras, both with a little bit of Scorpion in us, which makes it an interesting combo

I've googled it just for the GTKY and it says we do match, and have to be careful not to be too careful together

I am a Cancer. I haven't really looked into it enough to know about the typical personalities of it or the matching up.
