Cycle/Month: 6
CD: 3
What you're doing to get KU: Not shit. Yet.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: My cycles are so different month to month. Ovulation from CD 14 to 19. LP from 8 to 15. Periods from 2 days of full flow to 5 days of full flow. I hate that nothing is consistent. Just frustrated.
GTKU: Favorite caffeinated beverage? Surge. Takes me back to my childhood.
What you're doing to get KU: pnvs, increased water intake, bbt, OPKs, sex finally, preseed, cm
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: none today
GTKU: Favorite caffeinated beverage? Coffee for sure, but I'm not drinking it now while ttc
You can still have up to 200mg of caffeine a day while TTC.
I know, but I chose to stop. I went through withdrawal headaches for about a week. Plus I was drinking more than 200 mg and I felt sluggish. I feel much better now. I figured it would be better to do that before ttc in case I was to get pregnant. I also know that I can drink it while pregnant, but I will choose not to. I would just rather not.
What you're doing to get KU: OPK's, BBT, the usual
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: my temps are so up and down I never know what is going on in my cycle
GTKU: Favorite caffeinated beverage? A chocolate chip frappe from McDonalds. It's my guilty pleasure. I hate coffee, and don't really drink soda so when I really need some caffeine that is what I go for.

Cycle/month 5
CD 1
What are u doing to get KU? Nothing at the moment!
Rants/raves CD 1!!
GTKY I try to stay away from caffeinated drinks.I am not a coffee drinker, sorry coffee lovers. I'll drink caffeine free tea and green tea occasionally. I loved drinking Dr pepper when I was a teen.

Good morning ladies! I had no idea there was guidance on caffeine while TTC - you learn something every day!
Cycle/Month: 5/6
CD: 11
What are you doing?: BBT, PNV, CBFM....combined with OPKs. And trying to hang out with my husband as much as possible.
R/R/CS: Meh...nothing really. Just WTO. It's funny - At first I thought posting in WTO seemed very repetitive, but now I'm finding it very helpful in seeing what other ladies are experiencing and making my craziness less crazy. So, thanks ladies!
GTKY: Favorite Caffeinated Bevvie? I like regular coffee. Preferably starbucks, but I'll drink anything. A close second would be an espresso with Sambuca.

I used to think the same thing, but I actually find WTO way more stressful than the TWW, so it's nice to have somewhere to discuss it!

Cycle/Month:3/3
CD: 19
What you're doing to get KU: All the acronyms
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Had a significant temp drop today so I'm hoping that's an indication of O. If not, I'll be fine. I don't want another longer cycle, though.
What you're doing to get KU: pnvs, increased water intake, bbt, OPKs, sex finally, preseed, cm
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: none today
GTKU: Favorite caffeinated beverage? Coffee for sure, but I'm not drinking it now while ttc
I really need to cut back on coffee. H has already said that if/when I get pregnant he's going to want me to eat organic, more healthy etc. I know he's going to have something to say about my coffee intake. It would be his baby too, so I feel like he should have some input - to a point, and with in reason.
Cycle/Month: 5/4 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...
GTKU: Favorite caffeinated beverage? soda: diet dr pepper coffee: iced vanilla latte from starbucks
This is how my DH feels. He likes it to be spontaneous and not like something that we HAVE to do.m I am starting to feel that way as well. We really want this to be our month so we just try to make it as fun as we can. Looks like we are cycle twins as well, CD 12!
What you're doing to get KU: Temping. Will start everything else soon-ish.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Nothing really. I've been in a bad mood recently but I'd like to blame it on the weather... I'm ready for winter to be over. Today the "warmest" day that we've had in a couple weeks, but with the windchill it's still below zero.
GTKU: Favorite caffeinated beverage? Almost any coffee is good for me. My favorite caffeinated treat beverage is a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks.
What you're doing to get KU: Sex. OPKs that never seem to tell me anything. Water. Temping.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: FF gave me dotted crosshairs a couple days ago and I was over the moon to be in the TWW! It took them away the next day. Urgh. I've yet to have a positive OPK. I'm peeing on wondfos every few hours now, since I'm home from work due to Ice and finally have some EWCM. So we shall see. I just want confirmation of my body doing something. Hoping that's happening now.
GTKU: Favorite caffeinated beverage? Gimme ALL THE COFFEE.

Cycle/Month: 4/4
CD: 26
What you're doing to get KU: Temping & PNV
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: still no sign of confirmed ovulation. I did have some EW CM yesterday but this is the 2nd time this cycle I have had a day of it so who knows. My temps aren't helping things either.
GTKU: Favorite caffeinated beverage? Diet Pepsi. I am addicted to it. Then coffee.
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!
That's awesome! i gave up coffee two years ago for lent and the splitting headaches were the worst! I ended up having to stop because I almost got in an accident (I had a long, early commute) and my husband got too worried. Good for you!!!
Getting Knocked Up: Was planning for some sex tonight, but apparently not any more.
R/R/CS: So, today was supposed to be CD18, which was right about the point that I got EWCM last cycle. I've had watery CM with a brief flash of EW for the last 3 days. But I've had massive cramps for the last two days and at least a little bit of spotting for 3 days. I figured oh well, mid-cycle spotting.
What you're doing to get KU: Bbt, green tea, sex, water, pomegranate juice, pnv
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Nope
GTKU: Favorite caffeinated beverage? Diet pepsi for the win!
Also, a quick question. If you're trying to avoid caffeine, but green tea is good for cm (it works for me) can you drink decaffeinated green tea? Green tea makes me feel kind shaky.

Cycle/Month: 12
CD: 1 (finally started since my loss. Guess my HCG finally hit 0)
What you're doing to get KU: PNVs, OPK, baby aspirin, lovenox injects, folgard, oh ya and sex.
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: Glad a new cycle started. I'm not required to wait to start trying again since past waiting has proven useless. So here I go with the usual grind again. Ugh.
GTKU: Favorite caffeinated beverage? I don't drink caffeine. I haven't for a long time. I seem to feel better without. I am an oddball. I prefer alcohol. So my fav alcohol bev is vodka of course.

:::Butting/lurking in:::
H and I had that talk last night. Me: I'm tired, my vagina is sore, and I need to cook dinner. Come in here because we're about to have intercourse, not sex. H: I'm not trying to complain because I've been getting off every day, but fertile window sex is just not as fun.
When you're exhausted (I work 10 hour days and he works 12 hour days), it starts to feel like a chore.

GTKY: I'm a coffee person when I need caffeine. For non-coffee drinks, I go for vanilla or cherry coke.
well, 9/10 of your non-open pre-O temps are lower than 7/9 non-open post-O temps so it's possible. It's hard to see because its jagged. I print out my charts and draw on a line of best fit in my points to help with seeing a shift because as mentioned in other threads I love stats and am a nerd lol but it realyl does help even if you just draw one by hand
unfortunately after all that babble my answer is....maybe?

Cycle/Month: 1/1 CD: 14 What I'm doing: OPKs... sex as much as possible now that we are nearing my expected O date. R/R/CS: Still getting negative OPks. Which is fine. I don't expect to O til closer to CD17, my usual time. Just want to get this party started. DH was "too tired" last night so I gave him the night off last night and we are back at it tonight, and probably every night this week. GTKU: Coffee, coffee, and more coffee. Unflavored, black, ligtly sweetened. I'm a bit of a purist like that. Also, I hate soda.

sorry
Yea, usually my first few days after AF are rocky, then it settles into a nice 97.3 (+/- .3 degrees) for a bit followed by a spike that mostly stays up but has a little rockiness to it. This cycle just wasn't long enough to really tell.
Oh well. Not like it matters much, since the cycle's over any way.

H and I have never been able to maintain the ED sex for more than a day or two, we just don't have the drive and we both end up cranky and fighting or feeling bad about it. So we shoot for every 3rd day, and so far all but one cycle we've succeeded in having sex at least once in the window.

MH said the same thing Sunday night. I want sex to still be spontaneous but I didn't want to waste the out of pocket cost for the trigger shot because he was feeling blah and wanting to just relax.

It would be his baby too, so I feel like he should have some input - to a point, and with in reason.
I've recently started switching to a more organic diet and being more conscious about eating meats without hormones. Ever since I have thought about/started planning to ttc, I've been more aware of the things I put in my body.
