Good Morning! I'm up to beat the crowd to the grocery store, hope no one minds if I get things started.

GTKY: What are you doing for Valentine's Day?

[gdaisy09]

Cycle/Month: 2/2

CD: 4

What you're doing to get KU: PNVs and waving goodbye to AF

R/R/CS: nothing GKU related, still can't believe we've got another winter storm coming.

GTKY: What are you doing for Valentine's Day? H and I are getting take-out sushi from the restaurant just down the street from us, opening a bottle of champagne, and watching movies...just got Disney's new release of 101 Dalmatians in the mail yesterday, so we'll probably watch that with the dog

[wowcheezits]

Cycle/Month: 7

CD: 18

What you're doing to get KU: electronic opks, PNVs, BBT, EOD

R/R/CS: I think I O'ed today. I got the smiley on my OPK yesterday and now a temp hike. We're just waiting for CH

GTKY: What are you doing for Valentine's Day? Going to a local Italian restaurant

[oddbird]

I'm also up to hit the grocery store early! I'm not in a location that's supposed to get the worst of the next snowstorm, but 7-8 more inches is still pretty lame.

Cycle/Month: 2/2

CD: 10

What you're doing to get KU: PNVs, BBT, OPKs, EOD/ED, CM

R/R/CS: I got a blinking smiling (high reading) on yesterday and today's Clearblue digi OPK, even though that seems really early. Same thing happened last cycle and then I got the blinking face for 9 days straight before a peak reading. Ugh. Temping for the first time this cycle to better understand what's going on with that.

GTKY: What are you doing for Valentine's Day? Not much. We ate out at a fancy restaurant last night when it was easier to get a babysitter for our 2-year-old. We'll probably just hang out inside and away from the cold/snow today and eat some valentine's day candy.

WE're in the 6-10 inch band on the map.  unfortunately I have to teach ballet at 10 am, and I have no interest in the noon-on-saturday plus it-going-to-snow crowd. I went after my class last weekend and it was a shit show.

Cycle/Month: 1

CD: 21

What you're doing to get KU: sex, opk, PNV, bbt

R/R/CS: I think O was yesterday, but I'm going to hang out here until I have crosshairs.

GTKY: What are you doing for Valentine's Day? H is cooking up a nice dinner and we are going to do dinner and a movie outside on our patio.

Cycle/Month: 3/3

What you're doing to get KU: BBT, OPKs, temping, sex EOD, PNV

R/R/CS: not sure if Od. If not I'm not sure I will this cycle.

Not sure what we are doing now. I was up with DS all night as he is sick. I'm so tired and not feeling well myself.

[cnf2013]

Cycle/Month: 4/4

CD: 9

What you're doing to get KU: PNV, BBT, CM, all the sex

R/R/CS: I couldn't get on at all yesterday, I missed you guys! My temperature is rising. It has been the last couple of days, so I started using OPKs earlier than I planned. So far they're all definitely negative, but I had lots of EWCM yesterday, so despite the negative OPK we still HIO. Thankfully I'm off school this week so we can have all the sex since my FW is supposedly this week. Just waiting for my temps to level out some and my positive OPKs and all that other jazz. Crossing my fingers I O on the earlier side of FW. WTO kind of kills me.

GTKY: Going to the Duke/SU game tonight then out with friends afterwards. We more or less celebrated yesterday by me cooking H's favorite dinner and exchanging gifts. We don't really make a big thing out of Valentines Day.

We're in the 10-15 inch band for this weekend plus our high temperature for Sunday is 2F. Our picnic table in our backyard is legit completely buried. There's over two feet of snow on it. Sometimes I still wonder why I still live in NYS.

[akraus2015]

Cycle: 3/3

CD: 10

GKU: BBT, PNV, and going to start OPK today.

R/R/CS: I didn't do a whole lot of reading about OPKs, I just bought some Wondfos on Amazon and am hoping for the best. SMU is best, right?

---ETA---

GTKY: Nothing, Valentine's Day is dumb. Working this morning and then maybe going to Mardi Gras later if I'm up for braving the crowd of drunk people.

[mill23]

Thanks for starting this gdaisy09,

Happy Valentine's Day everyone.

Cycle/Month: 2/3

CD: 14

What you're doing to get KU: EOD sex.

R/R/CS: my temperature has been the same for the last two days, then 0.03 below that for the two before that. I'm worried something is wrong with mt thermometer. I'm worried I'll miss O.

GTKY: What are you doing for Valentine's Day? Not much! My folks are in town and we were hoping to do some touristy stuff but the weather isn't great. Snow has already started here. Just taking it easy tonight I assume. H got me tulips and a bottle of wine and that's all the things I like. He did good.

[roastytoasty]

Good Morning! I'm up early because DD decided she was ready to start the day... Funny how weekdays I have to drag her out of bed, but 7 am Saturday? Let's party!

Cycle/Month: 8

CD: 17

What you're doing to get KU: bbt, opk, pnv

R/R/CS: I might actually o! Trying not to get my hopes up, but a temp spike, positive opk, and a ton of EWCM all this morning has me hopeful! Timing wouldn't be god awful either. Yay!

GTKY: What are you doing for Valentine's Day? DH is working, so DD and I will go out for a girl's lunch. I'm planning to brave the grocery store and cook something tonight, but I haven't decided what to make

[Sparkly]

oddbird the same thing has happened to me with the CB advanced, getting high readings for days on end. I also had a peak earlier this week but didn't think I O'd so I had to start a new cycle when the smiley finally went away and what do you know, another peak today. My body is confusing the OPKs.



Cycle/Month: 2/4

CD: 22

What you're doing to get KU: BBT, CM, CP, OPKs (wondfos and CB advanced digi till I run out), PNVs, B6, pom juice, ED/EOD sex as we're able

R/R/CS: Definite + Wondfo today. Second "peak" on CB. Please body, please O. We'll have the secks today and tomorrow morning before I (theoretically) go away again. I say theoretically because of the massive amounts of more snow we're supposed to get tonight into tomorrow. I think it's very likely our flights will be cancelled or delayed enough that we can't make our training and have to reschedule in April/May.

GTKY: What are you doing for Valentine's Day? Low key day with the fam. DH & I did our thing last night. Have to run some errands before the snow, do laundry, and pack for the aforementioned trip. DH got me flowers and also got DD her own flower which was absolutely adorable. Love that man.

mill23, my thermometer was being wonky this week too. I haven't had it very long, but I didn't want to miss O this month either, so I bought a new one at CVS. You should go get a new one if you're out and about today.

[anonymouseliza]

Cycle: 2

CD: 18

What you're doing to get KU: So much sex. So many supplements. So much charting. So very much walking and better eating and stuff.

R/R/CS: I am nearly positive I ovulated yesterday. Started having more pronounced twinges and pain, and then my cervix started changing yesterday evening. CM is starting to dry up as well. And temp spike today! I know I need two more temps, but today is above where the coverline should be. YAY! I was so tired of sex. We'll probably have sex again today to be sure (and take tomorrow off and then we can try again should this somehow not be ovulation starting Monday). I feel really good about our attempt until I realized that if the work thing pans out (I don't see any reason it shouldn't, but neither do I fully trust my boss when the promised reclasses have not materialized), well, if that works and this works, I'll start a new job and a new high-risk pregnancy at the same time. Honestly after the last few months? Bring. It. On.

GTKY: What are you doing for Valentine's Day?

We're leaving soon, actually. I'm going to first try to fix my daughter's unven pigtails because they are driving me batshit, then she gets dressed and the whole family is going to get donuts, then to the pet store (where they will go in and I will eat) and then we will go to Target for a few things. Then to the park! DH will watch Viv and they will play and I will go walking on the track. I will try to get all 10,000 steps in (but if I can get over 8,000, I'll be happy). Then when we are getting a special lunch to go from our favorite Mexican restaurant, and then sometime this afternoon my mom is going to take DD and DH and I are going to the movies to see Kingsmen. Most of this is normal Saturday stuff, but we're wearing red and pink! If there is time, I'm going to help V make a valentine for her Nana. DH and I will buy a heart filled with candy to split.

Unrelated but absolutely delightful to me - while I was typing, DD climbed into my lap with the laptop and noticed the keyboard has letters and numbers and starting pointing them out. She named at least half the letters correctly! My mom has been telling me they've been working on them and she's pleased with her letter recognition (my mom was a reading diagnostician/specialist) but I haven't gotten to see more than a couple of letters.

What you're doing to get KU: all the sex.

R/R/CS: meh.

GTKY: What are you doing for Valentine's Day? Said in another thread but my mom is taking DS overnight. We're planning on being exceptionally lame. I might try to talk him into grabbing some sushi.

[momomel]

Cycle/Month: 2/2 

CD: 17

What you're doing to get KU: Preseed, Pom juice, epo, pnv, mucinex, opk, bbt

R/R/CS: Last cycle we didn't actually try that hard, except for HIO. I didn't actually know anything yet. I've since educated myself. I mention this because I am wondering if the crazy train gets crazier when you are actually actively trying all kind of things to GKU. I think it does because see above list ^^^Can't wait to go completely insane during the upcoming TWW!

GTKY: What are you doing for Valentine's Day? Cooking for MH, sipping some wine, looking for dogs to adopt, and going to bed early. Happy V-Day to all y'all!

[expatmama11]

Cycle/Month: 10/9

CD: 8

What you're doing to get KU: temping and sex

R/R/CS: Nothing really going on yet. I have O'd on CD11 the last few months and hoping that will be the case this month too.

GTKY: What are you doing for Valentine's Day? We don't really celebrate Valentine's day. We are just spending the day relaxing and watching movies/shows on Netflix.

[itsmeally]

Cycle/Month: 6

CD: 9

What you're doing to get KU: Sex QOD until around CD 17, then QD for 5 days when I'm anticipating fertile window and + OPKs. Obviously I will switch it up if my anticipated O date is different.

R/R/CS: none, just hanging out waiting for O!

GTKY: What are you doing for Valentine's Day?

Meh. I'm slightly annoyed bc the plans I had made for H and I, he now doesn't want to do. So, maybe ordering in Chinese food and a movie? LO is going to my moms house.

Cycle/Month: 2/2

CD: 13

What you're doing to get KU: sex, PNV, BBT

R/R/CS: just trying to get in the habit of temping every morning. I'm really not a morning person.

GTKY: What are you doing for Valentine's Day? We're both working today, so ordering Chinese take-out and renting a movie. It's too cold to go out.

[scottiedogs4life]

Cycle/Month: 2

CD: 10

What you're doing to get KU: pnv, bbt, cm, eod sex soon

R/R/CS: trying not to start eod sex too soon so we don't get burnt out. Maybe cd 12 just in case. Have been debating using opk. I am wary because I had several batches of fertile cm before I actually O'd last cycle. I am thinking opk might show multiple surges and confuse / frustrate me more. I will try to monitor cm more closely.

GTKY: What are you doing for Valentine's Day? Going into the city during the day to get some BBQ and go to our favorite brewery so basically it will be like any other Saturday. Probably will be lazy tonight. We went out to a nice dinner to celebrate valentines on Thursday without the crowds.

[getzystark]

Cycle/Month: 5/6

CD: 26

What you're doing to get KU: Sex and BBT.

R/R/CS: Maybe my thermometer isn't broken. I got a new temp today. It still sucks though. OPK yesterday was lighter than they have ever been. So I'll just keep HIO and hope that someday I will O.

GTKY: What are you doing for Valentine's Day? We got to start the day with a pet ER visit. The puppy ate a mechanical pencil a few days ago (I think) and she didn't want to eat today and was vomiting. She'll be fine, but it was a shitty way to start the day.

We were going to go to lunch and then a hockey game, but we need to watch the poor dog for a while so we may only make it to hockey later tonight.

Cycle/Month: 2/3 AL

CD: 23

What you're doing to get KU: NTNP this month. PNV, CM, Temping, Green Tea

R/R/CS: Trying to get DH on board for EOD. He is feeling stressed about all this so we have decided EOD with him not knowing when I may think I might have some signs of O. The pressure to peform on a day I had EWCM was a bit to much for him. I need to remind myself we are NTNP this month and it is my first month of temping so we need to just go with the flow.

GTKY: What are you doing for Valentine's Day? DH and I don't have any traditions for holidays and birthdays. No presents or anything either. Valentine's Day is our only tradition that we hold to. We always make homemade chicken alfredo from scratch and pop a bottle of bubbly. We did our grocery shopping on Thursday so while we were there we each picked out a card for each other and grabbed some flowers. I don't like red roses for really any occasion so I got some pretty orange spray roses.

But DH is working all day so I am going to be catching up on the DVR and trying to get the house clean before he gets home.

How are you NTNP but doing the bolded and posting in WTO? That's basically what everyone is doing when they are actively TTC. What parts aren't you doing? Iz confused.
