CS/Q:
GTKY: What makes you laugh the most? My husband does a particular character sometimes that makes me laugh hysterically! It's this sort of old man impression and he says hes going to give me kisses in the voice. It's one of those things that he can't force either, it just sort of happens, like randomly in the car.Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD/DPO: 14
WTO - HIO, CM, PNV, OPK

TWW - Testing:
R/R: I am very heartbroken about the world right now. And that's all I have to say about that.
CS/Q: nah, looks like should be O'ing later this week
GTKY: What makes you laugh the most? I have a totally random sense of humor so anything nonsense. Or fails, epic fails always make me lol.@KFrob Sorry to see you back for another round
@lifesabeach85 Hope you get in some good timing this week pre-O! And yes, it is numbing and heartbreaking all at once. The world is better today than it has ever been in so many ways, and yet here we are.
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 13/4 (?)
WTO - WAYDTGKU: temping, CM, OPKs, PNVs
TWW - Timing: -1 if I believe FF, which I don't so much
TWW - Testing: Will wait for AF to come or no
R/R: I've been pretty sick the past week with what I hope is not, but suspect may be, the flu. We've largely written off this cycle as a result, although FF thinks my fever was a temp shift and that I O'd just before falling under the weather. So I'm sure as we get closer to AF I'll get angsty and hopeful regardless, which is fine. Keeps it interesting.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What makes you laugh the most? I'm such a child, but I cannot not laugh when someone falls down. I just find physical comedy hilarious. Must get that in check before I have children of my own!DS2 due 12/12/18
Hey everyone! I took a bit of a break, but I think it's maybe time to come back. I missed you guys!
@dreamscapes_ Thanks for starting this!
@lifesabeach I know, I'm heartbroken, too. I'm feeling more and more hopeless that we'll ever see any change, too.
@emiliadkay Ugh, I think I'm going to have one of those cycles, too. I'm just hoping we'll hit at least -2, -1, or O. Also, I think falling down is hilarious. And I figure it's good to show your kids that falling down is nothing to get upset about (unless they get hurt, and then you're upset about the injury, not the falling down).
@CecilB93 I would die laughing if I saw that.
Month/Cycle: 3/4
CD/DPO: CD 8
WTO - WAYDTGKU: PNV, BBT, CM. Hopefully this cycle will also include sex.
TWW - Timing:
TWW - Testing:
R/R: Rant: Last cycle, we hit only -3, so I'm really hoping we can do better this time. Unfortunately, DH is in rehearsals until 10:30pm all week, and he's getting a cold. I expect to O on Saturday, so I'm really hoping he feels better by then. Rave: (TMI warning?) I got a menstrual cup. I like it! I definitely need a bit more practice getting it in place, but I didn't have any leaks and I didn't make a mess while removing it. And it was pretty sweet only worrying about it twice a day. It's really freaky seeing 12 hours worth of blood all at once, though.
CS/Q: Nope. I'm just psyched that my temperature went down at the beginning of the cycle this time. It was really disconcerting last time when it didn't.
GTKY: What makes you laugh the most? I think those "Damn you Autocorrect" things are hilarious. I seriously can't stop laughing when I start reading those. I think I just like the absurd.@CecilB93 If you can't laugh at your toddler, what's the point, amiright?
@Secretstapler I am looking at a weekend O too... Good luck! Yes I have heard that sex helps with getting KU. That and just relaxing. Relaxing and sex. (cue giant eye roll). Hopefully you can still convince H to roll in the hay even if he is tired and sic@CelticWife
@emiliadkay Yes your O looks very suspect without EWCM and Neg OPK. Hopefully it won't be for a few more days and you and DH will feel better and up to some more BD.
edit because my post got cut off
@lifesabeach85 I think a lot of us are right now, to be honest
@emiliadkay It's not a problem! I just get bored when no one's around, lmao. I have a hard time with physical comedy that involves possible injury. Basic falls are one thing, but the things of people falling off of trampolines and stuff, I'm like "Nooooooooooo". Good luck next month!
@Secretstapler You're welcome! Good luck with the menstrual cup! I don't think I could deal with one of those. It just icks me out. I don't really mind the blood in general, but I have such a heavy flow and so much clotting these last few months that I'd rather not.
GTKY: What makes you laugh the most? My best friend, for the most part. He's hilarious, and I love him and miss him (he lives a thousand miles away).

@Secretstapler I'm so intrigued by this cup thing! I was looking into those underwear that are supposed to function like a pad/tampon, but this sounds like it could be a better first step.
@dreamscapes_ We're so lucky to live in a day and age where it's possible to maintain long distance friendships and keep those really awesome people in our lives! Though at 1,000 miles, I'm sure the times in between visits feel way too long.
@emiliadkay I hope you're feeling better soon. I'm sorry it might have thrown off your chart!
@CecilB93 my son did the same thing at Chick-fil-A not long ago. We were cracking up! He clearly wasn't hurt, just like "WTF just happened?" Then he walked up to the glass and put his hand on it to make sure it was there
Month/Cycle: 2/0
CD/DPO:?
WTO - WAYDTGKU: Charting CM (which is almost ALWAYS EWCM) and negative OPKs...
R/R: finally going to the OBGYN today after my last appointment was cancelled!
CS/Q: -
GTKY: What makes you laugh the most?When my son does something silly. He brings me to tears sometimes!
Month/Cycle: 6/6
CD/DPO: 2
WTO - WAYDTGKU: bbt, going to try to be better with PNVs, drink some RRL tea today, tracking CM, I may have just Googled "fertility acupuncture" too
R/R: wondering if maybe it's time I bring up some ideas to DH about things he could be doing to help us TTC (like coq10 supplements or something), but I just feel so awkward doing so. But now that we're on cycle 6 I kinda feel like we're obviously not doing everything right
CS/Q: just bleeding
GTKY: What makes you laugh the most? I love puns and "dad jokes". DH makes them ALL THE TIME and I love it!For Chart Stalking, Click Here!
@JennyColada sorry AF showed up for you again! Test guys can be extra sensitive to suggestions that they may need assistance with their swimmers. I don't know much about what is actually supposed to help boost male fertility other than general healthy lifestyle choices (moderate drinking, healthy weight etc) but might be worth shooting an email to your OB about.
So got my positive OPK this morning just as I suspected. Happens to coincide with the first night of the playoffs and DH is a diehard Cubs fan. Will have to convince him to stay sober enough and me to stay up long enough to have a private after party...
@lalala2004 That's good tears, right? Not the bad kind?
@JennyColada I've missed you! I have read that even if you have "perfect" fertility, it can take up to a year to get pregnant. If you don't mind me asking, how old are you? I don't remember, and I know you've mentioned. As far as your DH, I agree with the others (although I really have no room to talk, given my weight).
@lifesabeach85 Good luck with keeping your DH sober enough to HIO!

@dreamscapes_ yes, laughing so hard I cry!
@JennyColada personally I wish men would be as involved in the TTC process as women generally are. Have you ever shown him The Great Sperm Race? It was very educational for my DH. I know I was obsessive about him not putting his laptop on his lap and using a lap desk when we were first TTC, and he complied
