  Are you benched or TTA? TTA
  
  What brings you here? Learnin', chattin' and cycle tracking with good company before officially TTC.
  
  How long do you think you'll be here? October (maayyyybe late September depending on cycle length, but probs October)
  
  How have things been going? Good! I've been working on developing a consistent sleep schedule so I can get more accurate temp results, along with all the usual pre-TTC stuff like cutting back on caffeine, alcohol, dairy etc. (basically everything that's good in the world). 
  
  Any R/R? Rave - and a huge thank you to this board for the suggestion - I got DH to watch 'The Amazing Sperm Race' and he not only loved it but is now so much more on board with this whole process. We found it as a 6-part series on YouTube, and I told him he just had to make it through one 10-minute chunk per week. Well, we did Part 1 a couple weeks ago and Part 2 - followed by Parts 3-6 - last night, at his request/insistence!
  
  GTKY: What would you sing at karaoke? Oh goodness. I would only ever do karaoke Korean-style, with everyone singing together in a small (sound proof) room. Probably Luckenbach, Texas with certain crowds, Sweet Caroline with others

  @emiliadkay I looked up that Sperm Race thing and will have to give it a shot Maybe DH will want to watch it, lol. How's your cutting back going?
  
  Are you benched or TTA? We're TTA!
  
  What brings you here? The company and conversation.
  
  How long do you think you'll be here? We're going to start trying in October, hopefully. I'll most likely continue to hang out around here, though.
  
  How have things been going? They've been... strange. We're having a hard time financially thanks to my pay cut to take this job. DH is still driving Uber and I've applied for a couple of second jobs. We also found out that I have a very low AMH level (not "slightly low" like the nurse said; it's 0.31), so we may not be able to get pregnant. We're still going to try. Work is work. I can't wait for the weather to cool off. I just watched this really bizarre movie on Netflix because it was recommended for me. It wasn't very good. Also, last night, I apparently fell asleep at 7:30pm. DH tried to wake me up, but did not succeed.
  
  Any R/R? Not really. My job is both really good and really bad birth control, if you get my meaning. I see so many cute babies, but also some kids who are just in their worst moments, for one reason or another.
  
  GTKY: What would you sing at karaoke? If they had it, probably Battle Born by Five Finger Death Punch. I love singing that in my car. I have a crap voice, but I still blast my radio and sing. If not Battle Born, then an 80s power ballad (like I Remember You by Skid Row or something like that).
  

  Me: 36 | DH: 35 | Married: 9.17.16
  Diminished ovarian reserve
  BFP: 4/14/2020 EDD: 12/20/2020

  @dreamscapes_ First, I'm sorry for all the pain you described on your other post. Hope your doctors come up with some real solutions, and soon, and that you get to spend as much of your weekend curled up with a heating pad as you need, in the meantime. I know the feeling of waking up and realizing I've passed out on the couch at an absurdly early hour *so* well - it always makes me feel icky, but sometimes the bonus rest is actually what the body needs, ya know?
  
  The cutting back has been going pretty well (alcohol has, shockingly enough, been the easiest thing to curtail), though we're now officially hunkered down for Hurricane Harvey surrounded by so many carbs and with so little to do but eat them...wish me luck!
