What are you doing to GKU?



RRCS:



GTKY: If you had to give up one of your holiday traditions, what would you choose to toss? What would you replace it with?

Cycle/month: 3/3

CD: 7

What are you doing to GKU? BDing, temping, OPKs

RRCS: The holiday busy-ness is a welcome distraction from focusing on TTC...it helps that there are other "projects" to get into!

GTKY: If you had to give up one of your holiday traditions, what would you choose to toss? What would you replace it with? Having egg nog in the fridge at all times over the holidays is really proving to be a bad idea (calorie-wise). I think I'd like to make a nice boozy egg nog as a special treat one night and avoid it the rest of the season!

Cycle/month: Cycle 21? 22?

CD: 12

What are you doing to GKU? Natural cycle until we get a donor, still BBT, using OPKs

RRCS: I had a hysteroscopy yesterday, so no sex until tomorrow. I'm also not sure why I'm still trying to hit O, but I guess it helps to feel like I'm doing something while we wait.

GTKY: since we don't travel for Chanukah and Christmas, we've been working on paring down our traditions to the ones that really matter to us. So I wouldn't get rid of any of the ones we're still keeping!

Cycle/month: 8



CD: spotting, so CD 1 should be today or tomorrow



What are you doing to GKU? I weaned my kid. Fully. We are done nursing. Le sigh.

I am hoping my hormone levels return to normal asap. Besides that, charting/temping, opks, preseed.Pre seed.

RRCS: I'm ready body! Let's go.

Hmmmmm.....I would stop buying gifts for all the adults in my life and just do a pock a name out of a hat thing amd buy foe one person.

Lol I was starting to wonder if my body was out of whack with the moon or something and no one else was in their follicular phase.

bonzo It makes so much sense to continue TI, on an emotional level but also, I hope everything aligns somehow before you have to move forward with tx again! Also, I love that you guys have pared down your traditions. DH and I just got married so we are figuring out what is special to us, but we definitely both like low-key in favor of scurrying/busy.

Yogurt I hope you both are feeling good about the big transition of weaning! FX this cycle is perfect. Also I totally hear you - we wanted to be careful about holiday budget this year, and the first thing to go was adult presents (other than parents/siblings) - Christmas cards all around is good enough for us!

sunshiney, it's just super unlikely that a natural cycle will result in anything. But I guess you never know, my ovaries could decide to beat the odds. Mostly it feels defeatist to not try, so we try.

Our holidays used to be a lot more hectic, but then we moved away from family! So we only do traditions we want to do; if neither of us enjoys it, it gets skipped. For example, I love decorating the house, it makes me happy, so I do it. But he doesn't find it fun, yet likes the finished product, so mostly I decorate while he's at work. That means I keep things to a few manageable boxes in the basement, and we can't get more than I feel like dealing with.

Cycle/month: 2/6 AL

CD: 13

What are you doing to GKU? Trying to take it easy this cycle. Last cycle was 85 days with no O so I'm just trying to be gentle on myself.

RRCS: I'm sick of my body being an asshole. Hopefully the keto diet I'm on will straighten things out.

GTKY: If you had to give up one of your holiday traditions, what would you choose to toss? What would you replace it with? Man, we need to make some traditions. The only one we have is an ornament for every year. lol
