Cycle/Month: 5/5

CD: 12

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

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I've got nothing today.

GTKU: Favorite caffeinated beverage? Coffee. My god, I love coffee. I only drink a cup a day, but it's one of the best parts of my day.

[housecarder]

Cycle/Month: 4 since break/ 17 total

CD: 17

What you're doing to get KU: clomid, trigger shot, OPKs, bbt, CM

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: So confused about what my body is doing. Got the trigger shot Friday and still no temp shift and now my CM is getting sticky and the ovulation cramps are dying out. Hopefully I O'd and just didn't see a shift due to the shitty new thermometer.

GTKU: Favorite caffeinated beverage?
Diet coke. I love coffee but only in the morning and can go without if needed.

Hello everyone, let's get started.

Cycle/Month:5/6

CD: 10

What you're doing to get KU:CM, CP, BBT, OPKs starting CD 12, gonna start aiming for at least EOD sex. DH is working nights so he might get suspicious if he's all of a sudden getting jumped when he gets home lol

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: nothing so far. No O signs yet so just getting ready for FW. I had random spotting yesterday that was kind of weird but that's it.

GTKU: Favorite caffeinated beverage? A truly excellent coffee from Tim Horton's or McDonalds (especially because they're free right now/roll up the rim) but if I want to treat myself I get a French Vanilla. It is easily the best part of my day.

Cycle/Month: 10/11 (4/5 AL)

CD: 6

What you're doing to get KU: the usual stuff

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Nothing really. My temperature shot up this morning but that means nothing because it is way too early for me. I'm not worried about it.

GTKU: Favorite caffeinated beverage? Dr. Pepper

[Deleted]

Cycle/Month: 4 / 5

CD: 22

What you're doing to get KU: BBT, OPK, SEX, CM, PNV, Preseed

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Got a positive OPK today. And Georgia is getting their first snow day today.

GTKU: Favorite caffeinated beverage? Sweet tea is my favorite, but I only have it as a treat everyone once and a while. I love coffee, but I only drink decaf since I gave up caffeine for the most part.

[apunicorn]

Cycle/Month: 4 (1AL)

CD: 12

What you're doing to get KU: Everything.

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: My weird mix of grapefruit juice, evening primrose oil, and raspberry leaf tea seem to be doing the trick yet another cycle in getting me tons of EWCM. So I guess I can now (more) confidently say that it works, in case anyone was wondering.

GTKU: Favorite caffeinated beverage? I'm with you ladies on the daily coffee in the mornings but when I find myself in a Starbucks I generally go for a soy latte. Excited to try their new coconut milk too!

Cycle/Month: 8/7

CD: 5

What you're doing to get KU: lots of thing

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks:. I woke up feeling fine and was very confused to see that the thermometer read 99.6. So I had slight moment of panic until I realized I was reading my temperature upside down. Today is off to a great start.

GTKU: Favorite caffeinated beverage? Hot chocolate is about as much caffeine as I can have.

I don't actually know what sweet tea really is. I know its a southern thing right? The Americans that used to come up to the sportsman's lodge I used to waitress at would ask for it all the time. How is it different from regular iced tea?

Basically it is just sweetened while hot and then poured over ice. Same basic idea though.

Cycle/Month: 2/2

CD: 25

What you're doing to get KU: At this point, just trying not to jump off a bridge.

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: This time last cycle I was preparing to test tomorrow. Which obviously didn't work out but still. I'm only feeling frustrated because I just wasn't expecting this. WTO<TWW. Fuck WTO. I know I'm being a baby so I'll shut up now and go back to pretending to be patient.

GTKU: Favorite caffeinated beverage? Coffee. Always coffee. I do love fancy lattes and whatnot but regular, at-home coffee is love.

Cycle/Month: 7

CD: 12

What you're doing to get KU: sex sex sex haha pnv, water, and temping/charting

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: its soooooo cold here!

GTKU: Favorite caffeinated beverage? Any flavored coffee, I did however give up coffee for lent hoping it will help me kick the coffee habit. I need to limit caffeine due to a kidney thing so this will help. I have been chugging water and for two days and took some motrin to help with the head aches but now no more headache or coffee!

Cycle/Month: 4

CD: 19

CD: 12

What you're doing to get KU: PNV, BBT, ED sex during FW, CM/CP, hydration

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: ED sex with my husband is starting to feel like a chore. It's not that I don't enjoy it, but I hate feeling like we HAVE to have sex, and I'm sure he's feeling the same way though we haven't talked about it. I may switch to EoD or just whenever we want next cycle because it's not like ED is working anyway lol...

This rule applies while TTC?? I thought it was only while you were pregnant. Yikes, guess I'll be cutting back a bit. (Slooowly....slooowly. We don't want to anger the caffeine monster.)

CD: 15

What you're doing to get KU: PNVs, OPKs, Preseed, temping, sexing

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: So I had a spike today. That plus some cramps yesterday morning make me fairly confident I O'ed yesterday, but since I had some inconsistent temps this cycle (thank you crap sleep), I'm waiting to jump to the TWW thread until I officially get CH.

Also MH last night kinda outta nowhere said he really hopes we get KU soon. He said he doesn't want to be an old dad (MH is 10 years older than me, and I'm 33), plus he wants his parents to know their grandkid. After the doc visit and feeling so down about everything last week, it was really nice to hear that.

GTKU: Favorite caffeinated beverage?
Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper

There is conflicting research about whether more than that affects your fertility. To be on the safe side, I cut back.

Same here - I'm using TTC as my slow withdrawal period to get used to <200mg a day.  But still have my one coffee (75mg) and one soda (50mg) every day, second soda or coffee as needed.  I try to tell myself that saving $20/week at Starbucks is worth it even if it takes me a while to GKU.

CD: 19

What you're doing to get KU: Sex, although we took a break for a few and then H has been OOT so...yea.

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Up and down temps.  The usual lol.  It's sooo awful this cycle because of starting work and DS now deciding that 5:30 is an acceptable time to wake up *every freakin day*.  So my sleep has sucked.  

GTKU: Favorite caffeinated beverage? Coffee or tea.
