CD 9 Morning routine: wake at 6/temp. Fall asleep until J wakes up - usually 6. Get up, change diaper, boob J, make breakfast for J first (two eggs, half an orange and half an avocado was today's). Get her situated at the table. Make my breakfast (and hubs). Eat. Play until nap around 8:30. Morning is my guilt free time.
Thanks Sparkly! I think I just got frustrated this morning because I thought we were going to at least try this cycle.. hopefully I actually Oed yesterday... then I'd have a shot. It really isn't his fault either, my cycles are just a little wonky and the length tends to vary. MH got a little upset that I didn't really react to his decision. I just stayed quiet. I mean... I'm not going to do ecstatic cartwheels, but I'm not going to throw a temper tantrum.
What are you doing to GKTFU?: sex, bbt, OPK, green tea
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Got a positive OPK.
GTKY: What is your morning routine?: Depends. If I'm working the morning shift - shower, hair, makeup, run out the door so I can make it to Dunkins before work. Otherwise, I'm dead snoozing.
DH and I joke about Wed night = business time ALL.THE.TIME. Interestingly, Wed. night is also the night that we put out the recycling - which is also very important.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: My coverline looks to be about 98 Degrees:
GTKY: What is your morning routine?: I telework two days a week and I take a commuter train to work the other three days. When I commute, I wake up before God, DH, and DS. I temp, get dressed and go. I do my hair and makeup at work. On my telework days, I eat breakfast with DH and DS and get dressed in a more leisurely manner.

Month/Cycle: 1/2 CD: 29 What are you doing to get KU? : BBT, CM check, sex, OPKs
RRCS: Finally had my first positive OPK yesterday! Hoping this means I'll O soon. Temp dipped a tiny bit but a lot less than it usually does so I'm hoping that's a good sign, too.
GTYK: What's your morning routine? Alarm goes off at 6 to temp but I'm normally waking up at about 5:50 since DS usually wakes up at 6-6:15. I swear, he knows when the thermometer gets to my mouth so that he can start crying -.- Then, I go pee, bring him to bed and he nurses while I was slowly wake up. And then we're up for the day by 7am. I get myself ready while DS plays, get him ready, pop him in a high chair with his sippy cup of milk and Daniel Tiger to keep him entertained while I make breakfast. And if we have time, we just hang out until DH and I head out around 9:30; him to work, me to the sitter and then work.

CD: 6
What are you doing to GKTFU?: PNV, OPK, EOD, BBT
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: not much. I've just been feeling blah lately. I'm at work right now filling in on the phones. They have a new program that I'm not familiar with but they said there is a binder with all the information in it. There is one but it doesn't tell you how to transfer calls so I think I'm hanging up on people. Only reason I'm filling in is because everyone else is gone. Thankfully it's only for an hour!
GTKY: What is your morning routine?: 6:00 my eyes pop open and I look at the clock. I take my temp and roll over until the alarm goes off at 6:15 (the time I set to take my temp) and if I haven't already taken my temp I'll do it then and roll over, and I'll either hit my snooze button or just turn off the alarm. Either way, I'm sleeping until 7.
Then I get up, take my thyroid pull and go back to my room where I'll sift through the laundry basket of clothes I never fold and pull out some clothes to wear. Then I go to the bathroom, take out the ironing board and iron my clothes. For some reason, this is usually the time the heater turns in full blast so it gets so hot in the bathroom I'm dripping with sweat. I take a shower, brush my teeth, get dressed, and enter my temp. I'll then get my gym bag ready, my vitamins/other meds. I get my toddler up if I hear her playing and drop her off by MH, who is usually still sleeping. She'll continue to jump on him until he gets out of bed. I say bye to both of them and leave for work stopping off at McDonald's where I'll order an egg white delight and an oatmeal. I get to work, punch in at 8:01, make a pot of coffee and start my day.

This reminded me... We gave my little 3 year old cousin a board game called Don't Wake Daddy. There's a little spring loaded plastic dad in a bed and the point is not to wake him up (you press on a button until the spring lets go). Well, he's 3 years old so waking up daddy is the best thing ever to him, and he just doesn't get that you lose the game if you wake daddy. It's adorable.

Normally, we don't allow DD in bed with us (she can climb out of her bed and open the doors to get in our room). None of us sleep well. But she crawled in early Wednesday morning and fell completely asleep at about 2:30 so I just left her. I didn't want to deal with trying to get her back down in her room at that hour because I had my interview that day and I just tried to fall asleep.
Apparently, even though she crawled over him, DH didn't realize she was there when the alarm went off. It made sense, because she was curled up in a ball next to me in a king-size bed (we keep to our individual sides). So he went to get her up and then runs downstairs. I thought he was looking for clean jeans, but then he runs back upstairs and into the bathroom and turns on the light (which shines directly in my eyes) so I asked what the hell he was doing and he yells in a panicky voice that he can't find V.
I just sat up and pointed at her and he stared blankly at us for about a full minute at which point I said as dryly as one can at 6:17 in the morning, "Apparently V wanted to give you a heart attack for your birthday."
I know I would have been completely out of my mind panicked in his shoes, but since it wasn't me, it was funny.
Month/Cycle: 6/6 CD: 10 GKU: Not much of anything. Both H and I have been feeling crummy the last few days.
R/R/S: My temp spiked this morning, but I have 0 secondary signs and it's only CD10, so I'm going to assume it was a fluke brought on by my complete comatose state all night and the small furry creature who decided to sleep practically on top of me for most of the night. I had one brief flash of EWCM a few days ago, but it's gone. So who knows. I really should think about using OPKs.
GTKY: Alarm goes off at 6:15, wake up and temp. If I can, I go back to sleep until 7 or so. If not, I'll hang out in bed and check facebook, etc. Then it's up, take the dogs out, make breakfast, feed the dogs, shower, get dressed, let the dogs out one more time, kennel the dogs, then out the door to work.
Sometimes if I'm feeling energetic I'll take the dogs for a quick walk. Especially now that it's not pitch black when I get up.

Cycle/Month: 7/6
CD: 6
What are you doing to GKTFU?: Temping, but trying not to think too much about TTC otherwise. Ill start OPKs around CD10.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Posting some unofficial BFP statistics in my siggy because surprisingly people were not creeped out, but actually interested in the unofficial BFP results I collect (I track anyone close to my own ovulation date (+/-2DPO) to see if the percent of BFPs in the TCF GKU forum is close to the 20% number Ive seen floating around).
GTKY: What is your morning routine? Temp at 6:00am, go back to sleep or cuddle with DH or play on my phone, sometime between 7:00am and 8:00am I start work (from home), join a daily call at 8:30 and when that finishes usually around 9:00am I finally eat breakfast, brush teeth, put contacts in and really wake up.
Cycle/Month: 6/11 CD: 5 What are you doing to GKTFU?: Things. Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Eh. Thinking about taking a personal day tomorrow because I don't wanna work. GTKY:What is your morning routine?: I don't really have one. My mornings start however my mood dictates they should. ;) Usually this means staying in bed extra extra long, until I have juuuust enough time to get ready for work.
expatmama11 I'm glad your period returned, but I've always hated the fakeouts. Make up your mind, body!! kh59 *hugs* Sorry for reaching your TTC anniversary. pippacricket Have fun tonight! 14joa31 I seriously read the album as "98* Anal Rising" and almost choked on my spit. @katerli Sorry about the migraine! I hope you feel better soon. :( mainewifey I haven't seen a Don't Wake Daddy game in years! I also remember when it came out...ouch.
::: Posting and then going back to read through thread:::
Cycle/month: 5/7
CD: 19
What are you doing to get KU: all the science-backed things.
RRCS: still no O yet Le sigh... But! I cleaned out the $store of the last of its OPKs so WOO?
GTKY: alarm goes off and I temp and then snooze a couple (a few times). I shower and get dressed, let the dogs out and put out trash/recycling, make myself some coffee/breakfast and input my temp/go on here. Then o drive to school, post some more and then get ready for class lol
ETA: hmm. So I just went to use one of my shiny new OPKs and when I pulled out previous ones to compare I thought huh. That OPK didn't look +ve before.... So now I'm thinking my CD16 OPK was either positive or almost positive and I possibly ovulated yesterday. (Today's OPKis clearly negative and I didn't test on CD17 or 18)
ETA2 - I put in the +ve OPK and stupid crosshairs are gone! WOO!
What are you doing to get KU: BBT, CM, OPKs, EOD, Pre-Seed
RRCS: So I got another positive OPK today. Usually I get two days of VERY positive OPK's surrounded by negatives. This month I got 1 day barely positive, 1 day VERY positive, and today another barely positive. I'm thinking I just caught the LH surge at a slightly different time. So I'm now thinking (*hoping*) I'll O today. I'm trying to talk MH into having sex again tonight...
Also, I have had the same temp 3 of the past 4 days... I'm worried that my BBT battery is already dying. It's only like 4 months old. (it's a Mabis, not the Target brand which is known for repeat temps...)
GTKY: All of you early risers impress me.... I like to sleep as late as possible, and I'm glad that I work at a place that doesn't mind if I show up at (or slightly after) 9:00 am.
Wake up around 7:30, temp, shower, make-up, fix hair, let the dogs out and feed them, pack my breakfast, lunch, and coffee, drive to work, arrive at work around 9:00, eat breakfast and drink coffee at my desk while catching up on email

Cycle/Month: 4/5
CD: 12
What are you doing to GKTFU?: pnvs, green tea, water, humping
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I am getting a little too perfectionistic about my new venture into OPKs. I wanted to take one at the same time today but I had a meeting, and it looks like it'll be the same thing tomorrow. Will just do what we can and see what happens! And do EOD sex anyway.
GTKY: What is your morning routine?: It depends. I work from home (minus meetings), so ordinarily, brush my teeth and that's it until later. When I worked in an office, I got up, made coffee, threw my clothes in the dryer to remove the wrinkles, brush my hair, put on some BB cream, eyeshadow, liner, and mascara, and then put on my clothes and took my coffee to go.
What are you doing to get KU: Period ended today so we'll aim for EOD starting after I get back from my weekend girls trip.
RRCS: None. Count me in the really short period club (sounds like a poorly selling teen novel) with only three days at most. I'm also hoping it doesn't mean anything.
GTKY: I temp at 6:30 then usually go back to sleep till 7. Drag myself out of bed, shower, cheerios and GKU, get dressed, dry my hair, make a coffee and drive to work. Pretty boring.
meerkatmillie I love the unofficial stats. I'll be watching them since I'm close to your CD too!
anonymouseliza I'm glad to hear the interview went well, but sorry for the brain hamster ball that kept you up. I have an interview on Monday I'm trying not to let ruin my sleep all weekend. Hopefully you'll get good news soon!

What are you doing to GKTFU?: Sex
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: EWCM today, dafuq?
GTKY: What is your morning routine?: Roll out of bed once H is out of the shower (around 7), let the pup out, make coffee, eat breaky, leave the house by 7:30 to drop H off at work, get home and walk the dog, then get ready for work and head out.
What are you doing to GKTFU?: EOD sex, charting, pnv's, opk's, CM, CP
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I got a positive on the OPK yesterday and today. No rise in temp today so we'll see what tomorrow brings.
GTKY: What is your morning routine? Alarm goes off at 5:40, temp, take thyroid pill, doze until about 6:30am, shower, wake DS, get him dressed and give him breakfast, get myself ready, out the door by 7:30-8am, drop him off to daycare, drive 45 minutes to work.
What the fuckity fuck, FF - I went to look at my chart (to show DH bc he was curious) and it somehow copied Wednesday's data to Tuesday as well, so both days were identical. Tuesday had looked to be my O day, and now my stupid temp is gone! I knew it was the lowest temp I'd had thus far, so I guesstimated. Also had to delete the sex that FF thinks I had on Tuesday. Wish that were true, little chart!
What are you doing to GKTFU?: B6, OPK, BBT, PNV, HIO, about to start prgesterone
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I finally had a bit of a temp spike, so pretty sure I did O. After days of +OPKs I was getting worried that my temp was still low. Hopefully things keep looking up.
GTKY: What is your morning routine?: Up at 6:00, temp. Shower (or not) and get dressed while DH gets DS dressed. Eat breakfast and get out the door by 6:45 to drop of DS at daycare. I have to be at work by 7:45, I'm so jealous of you ladies that get to sleep in until a reasonable hour.
