Cycle/Month: 4/4

CD: 6

What are you doing to GKU?: just waiting for the days to pass. Will start OPKs Friday probably.

Rants/raves/chartstalks: nothing really. My temps seem to be settling in their usual pre-o range, so just kind of waiting until H and I can start HIO this weekend.

GTKU- My childhood best friend was a boy next door and we were little kid boyfriend and girlfriend for a long time until my family moved away. And of course JTT.

[oddbird]

I'm new here. Hi!

Cycle/Month: 2

CD: 7

What are you doing to GKU?: PNVs, OPKs, EOD, BBT (ugh)

Rants/raves/chartstalks: Just frustrated with trying to temp. I'm such a light sleeper that my temps are totally nuts.

GTKU- Who was your first crush? The boy who lived behind my best friend when I was about six. He was the only other kid I knew that had glasses like me, so it was instant love.

[youdontsay]

Cycle/Month: 4/5

CD: 17

What are you doing to GKU?: bbt, cm, EOD sex, h2o, pnvs

Rants/raves/chartstalks: kind of a rant. H keeps telling me to stop stressing about TTC, which I feel like I've been better as we've been going through this because sex is fun. Anyway he made a comment saying "probably the reason we aren't getting pregnant is because you stress out about everything." Gee, thanks.

GTKU- Who was your first crush? This kid in my class named Brian. I've always had a thing for Brians.

[Camaja]

Cycle/Month: 7

CD: 9

What are you doing to GKU?: temping, tracking CM, and as much sex as possible

Rants/raves/chartstalks: none, just being patient. Last month seemed the fly by and this one is dragging already

GTKY: hmm, I have no memory of someone in real life so I'm gonna go ahead and say A.C. Slater

[onyx]

Cycle/Month: 1

CD: 13

What are you doing to GKU?: just lots of sex

Rants/raves/chartstalks: insomnia is kicking my ass the last few days.

GTKU- Who was your first crush? I don't remember. My first celebrity crush was Jesse McCartney though.

[Deleted]

Cycle/Month: 4 / 5

CD: 9

What are you doing to GKU?: BBT, OPKs (starting tomorrow), PNVs, Preseed, Sex

Rants/raves/chartstalks: Forgot to temp this morning before getting out of bed. At least I am still early in my cycle and I should still get CHs. I just need to make sure to not do that again. Besides that, not much is going on.

GTKU- Who was your first crush? Guy that I went to middle school and high school with. I was super shy back then, so of course nothing happened between us.

[teraiin]

Cycle/Month: 4

CD: 6

What are you doing to GKU?: PNVs, BBT, etc.

Rants/raves/chartstalks: Nothing really. AF seems to be gone, so yay. MH is hoping that this will be a shorter cycle, I told him not to get his hopes up too much. Since stopping BC my cycles have been 41, 33, 38 (as far as I've been keeping track) I really liked the 33 day cycle.

GTKU- Who was your first crush? A boy in the swim class when I was young. He lived down the street from me. His name was Billy. I named my pet bird after him.

[tromeo]

Cycle/Month: 3/3

CD: 8

What are you doing to GKU?: PNVs, sex EOD/ED during FW (if I'm right)

Rants/raves/chartstalks: On that whole stress prevents you from getting KU... is that an old wives' tale? I feel like everyone says that. And then the people who are like "We finally stopped 'trying' and that's when it happened." I've just never heard people say that it DOESN'T, so if it doesn't, I'd love to hear that. It would probably make me stress LESS (I'm weird like that).

GTKU- Who was your first crush?: A moppy-haired boy in 5th grade who was really good at soccer (I was too) and didn't treat me "like a girl". Then puberty hit and I couldn't even think of boys because I was so repulsive. So during puberty, it was DEFINITELY JTT. I used to dream about being his secret girlfriend. I had a thing for moppy-haired boys... still do, I guess because DH has that look about him.

What are you doing to GKU?:
OPKs, temping


Rants/raves/chartstalks:
 I don't know WTF is going on.  Can someone stalk me?  My body is *acting* like it ovulated, but I've had some issues sleeping and a couple open circles.  Symptoms: sensitive boobs, headaches, cramps, +OPK last week, and spotting.  I don't usually spot except the day or so before my period, but this has been off and on for 4-5 days now.

GTKU- Who was your first crush? Uh... several boys in my elementary school, don't remember who was first!

[singingsea]

Cycle/Month: 4

CD: 17

What are you doing to GKU?: Sex.

Rants/raves/chartstalks: DH and I are going to have to get really creative here with the secks. He's getting two wisdom teeth out today making him a puffy bloody mess and it's my FW. Yay.

GTKU- Who was your first crush? My first real hormonal crush was in middle school on a boy named Sean. He was nice to me but knew I liked him. Suuuuucked.

[juliayadda]

adelbert thanks for the chart stalk. This has been the most unusual cycle for me. Usually O Between CD13 or CD15. I am not sure if I will get cross hairs this cycle. But as we always say: Your ute is regular until it isn't. I will keep temping until something happens.

[rooskie]

Cycle/Month: 6/6

CD: 15

What are you doing to GKU?: all the things.

Rants/raves/chartstalks: I have been super crampy for the last 24 hours so I was hopeful for a temp spike. No such luck. My opk was soclose to positive yesterday so maybe I'll get one today.

GTKU- Who was your first crush? A boy in elementary school who I competed with in academics. I was smarter and got moved to the GT classes. And JTT and I had a big obsession with Nick Carter. My walls were plastered.

[becwheat]

Cycle/Month: 4/6

CD: 44

What are you doing to GKU?: BBT, OPK, SEX

Rants/raves/chartstalks: Same one as yesterday! LONG CYCLE! another temp jump today, hoping this one sticks.

GTKU- Who was your first crush?: A boy in my kindergarten class. His name was JT Fisher and he was dreamy

[pbandj714]

Cycle/Month: 2/3

CD: 40

What are you doing to GKU?: PNVs, BBT, sex

Rants/raves/chartstalks: I fell on ice this morning at work and ripped my favorite jeans, skinned my knee, scuffed my most expensive/favorite boots, and hurt my pride. Hold me.

GTKU- Who was your first crush? I had a "boyfriend" in 4th grade. He gave me a ceramic cat for my birthday. LOL

[catinatophat]

Cycle/Month: 5/5

CD: 13

What are you doing to GKU?: BBT, green tea, H2O, and HIO ED until I O or we just can't do it anymore.

Rants/raves/chartstalks: Last month I O-ed on CD13 and it was awesome so I'm hoping I O early again because we can't keep up with ED for much longer. I know EOD is fine (and maybe better) but I had a goal this month damnit!!

GTKU- Who was your first crush? Mike in kindergarten, he gave me a love note on the playground one day

I'm not an expert but it looks like maybe you O-ed on CD19. I think if you didn't go back down to coverline yesterday then FF would have given you CHs. But you had a fall back rise down to coverline before (Oct 26th chart) so that could be normal for you and you'll get CHs after another high temp. 

[cakewench]

Cycle/Month: Lucky 13...

CD: 2

What are you doing to GKU?: Waiting for Shark Week to end. By coincidence, have my annual exam next week so we will see what my ob/gyn has to say.

Rants/raves/chartstalks: Got pretty drunk last night. Hitting the year mark is not going well for me. Next weeks appointment is making me really nervous. I tried to explain some of this to MH last night, but seeing as I was wasted I'm not sure that was a good idea...

GTKU- Who was your first crush?
Jonathan Brandis, may he rest in peace.

Thanks for looking! So maybe I'm not imagining it, then. It's just so frustrating because I had hoped I had O'd CD 13-14 (because of the positive OPK) so my period would start *before* my beach vacation, not during (next week).

[mynameiscarrie]

BJ Dealer, I'm not an expert-I've only done the FF Guess the O date from the chart game- based on temps it looks like you could have O'd on CD 19 but that negative OPK makes me think that you haven't O'd yet. Idk if FF is maybe waiting for a closed circle above coverline to give you CH, but I would think that, if you did O, it was on CD 19. I don't know if that's helpful to you or not.

Cycle/Month: 3/3

CD: 6

What are you doing to GKU?: EOD, BBT, PNV, OPK starting probably Monday (CD 11)

Rants/raves/chartstalks: None really. But I want to say that I texted DH yesterday because I wanted to HIO so he met me at home during our lunch breaks and we HITFO. We've never done that before so I felt like a badass. Nothing really to do with my chart, but I felt really cool lol. Other than that, he's in NYC and I'm meeting him there Friday night so hopefully we can start EOD then. I know I'm not going to O between now and then but there's the overreactor part of me that's like "BUT WHAT IF I MISS IT!" Silly, silly.

GTKU- Who was your first crush? His name was Joshua. We dated for a couple years (ages 3 to 5) but then he moved to Kentucky. My mom has a picture of us at my 4th birthday and we legit look like a couple which is weird. He's smokin' hot now. I had good taste back in the day.

ETA: catinatophat, said it as I was finishing my post! Hooray for general consensus! 

[Sparkly]

Thanks for starting 14joa31!

Sorry about your H's comments youdontsay, that's not really helpful...or true.

BJ Dealer, it's possible you O'd CD19, but the open circle CD21 and yesterday's temp make me (and FF) question that. It is equal to CD 13, 15, and 17. You need 3 higher than the previous 6 (or 5?) for CHs. If your temp goes up tomorrow, you may get them...but it's very possible you haven't O'd at all yet if that high temp is due to drinking. I would keep checking things (OPKs, CM) and HIO.I definitely do not see O prior to CD19.

Sorry about the fall, pbandj714, I hope you are okay!

cakewench, sorry about the year mark. I'm glad you have your annual coming up so you can talk to your doc and hopefully get a referral if you want one.


Cycle/Month: 2/4

CD: 19

What are you doing to GKU?: BBT, CM, CP, OPKs, B6/B-complex to lengthen LP, pom juice, PNVs, ED/EOD sex this week hoping it is in fact FW

Rants/raves/chartstalks: I got a solid smiley (peak) on CB Advanced Digital this AM, but a negative wondfo. Wut??? I got a VERY clear + along with the peak reading last cycle, so I'm confused. Yesterday's wondfo was - too, I didn't do the digi. When I had "gearing up" and no O before, I would get + wondfos, but never make it to peak, just get the flashing smiley (high). So...weird. I think (hope) today (or tomorrow) is O day... I had a temp dip this morning... but of course this all means nothing until temps confirm in a few days.

GTKU- Who was your first crush? I believe there was a boy in preschool/daycare who I was like BFFs and did everything with him, even "kissed" each other. lol I forget his name, my mom would remember. Boy crazy from the start.

[wowcheezits]

Cycle/Month: 7

CD: 15

What are you doing to GKU?: electronic OPKs, BBT, PNVs, EOD

Rants/raves/chartstalks: none

GTKU- Who was your first crush? When I was a little girl, I used to be a fancy shawl dancer and went to many powwows. One time, my mom set me up to dance with a fancy dancer and he was cuuuuute! I won't mention names because it was so embarrassing but for at least five or six years while we were on the powwow circuit I made sure we sat near him every time so I can give him "googly eyes" as my mom puts it. ROFL

[pbandj714]

Thanks, Sparkly!

[anonymouseliza]

Cycle: 2

CD: 15

What are you doing to GKU?: Charting, opk's, green tea, red raspberry leaf tea, vitamins (multi and Folgard), weight loss (increased walking daily and food regulation), de-stressing, sex every day that we possibly can during fertile window.

Rants/raves/chartstalks: OPKs are getting darker. Hoping for a + soon, probably tomorrow or day after. I hope. Getting a bit tired of sex now, wishing we'd started with EOD, but it had been awhile. I just really want to hit every day in the window if we can, so I feel like we're giving it the best chances possible. It's a little crazy-making. But then, I'm a little crazy, so maybe it balances? But so far it seems like everything is on track for a 'normal' ovulation and that has me crossing my fingers tightly.

GTKU- Who was your first crush?

Related to first kiss question - Dusty Miller in second grade. He was a sweetheart.

[kcones88]

OMG, I totally remember now who my first real celebrity crush was. Shawn Michaels, aka The Heartbreak Kid! OMG, I was SO IN LOVE with him when I was little!
