Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Rant- My chart is a big ole mess this month. Erratic sleep patterns, early waking, and I think my thermometer is dying. Rave- MH is finally really getting into the idea of EOD sex. With my temping issues I really hope it will make a difference.
GTKY: What's your favorite kind of weekend footwear?(decided to keep the clothing theme going) -It was always Doc Martin's in the Winter, Chuck Taylors in semi-warm weather, and flip-flops anytime else. Now that I have Reynauds, the flip flops don't to make as much of an appearance and snow boots stick around longer.
What are you doing to GKTFU?: Femara/TI, temping, starting EOD sex this weekend, opk's
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: Had my HSG yesterday (after spending much of the morning getting my referrals squared away...stupid HMO). RE said everything looks "perfect!"
GTKY: What's your favorite kind of weekend footwear?(decided to keep the clothing theme going) Danskos in winter (unless I need snow boots!), and Teva sandals in summer. Clearly I value comfort above fashion!
Cycle/Month: TTA for 1-3 cycles, after 2 cycles/4 months TTC and 10 months NTNP
CD: 11
What are you doing to GKTFU?: charting BBT and CM to avoid, we will abstain/withdraw during FW
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Spotting maybe will end today? Ugh. I feel slightly more normal/less crazy but damn this was a long, annoying period and my hormonal self feels all out of whack. I'm thinking of skipping temping the next few days due to the time change + traveling to the west coast and back tomorrow-Wednesday. Not having a complete chart really annoys me, but I know the temps would be all wonky and it shouldn't make a huge difference, as I don't expect to O until CD16-20 or later.
GTKY: What's your favorite kind of weekend footwear? slippers
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Husband went out last night so my sleep was all messed bc I woke up when he got home at 230am. Temperature was much higher than normal but it's still early in my cycle so not too worried about one bad temperature.
GTKY: What's your favorite kind of weekend footwear?(decided to eep the clothing theme going) I'm usually in flip flops or sneakers
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I forgot to temp this morning. At some point I decided sleeping on the couch was a good idea, next thing I know H wakes me up with "what happened?!" I guess I was too hot or something. Also yesterday we finally got a contractor who isn't going to charge us an arm and leg to install an exterior door! He's my CW's BIL he was so nice and is our hero right now! We were getting quoted of $800-900, this guy is charging half of that because he's doing the work on his own time and not on company time.
GTKY: What's your favorite kind of weekend footwear?(decided to eep the clothing theme going) in the winter I'll wear my black Uggs. In the summer, Old Navy flip flops.
What are you doing to GKTFU?: bbt and af needs to stop completely
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: af was gone and came back the next day. It's annoying when this happens. It seems like I have it 2-3 days and then off and on for a couple more.

What are you doing to GKTFU?: Everything but temping
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Trying not to read too much into anything, but I'm starting to get a little concerned. I have cramps constantly. I had them almost all of last cycle and AF is just about over and I still get cramps. This is only my 4th month off BC, so I guess it could be that? Anyone else experience something like this? They are worse during PMS and O, but I've been having light cramps constantly. It's sort of freaking me out.
GTKY: What's your favorite kind of weekend footwear?(decided to eep the clothing theme going) Well, I work on the weekends (real estate) so boots or heels, but if we're talking footwear on our downtime, (usually a Monday and a Friday for me) then flip flops or boots depending on the season

What are you doing to get knocked up? All the things
RRCS still waiting on CH but my temps are sneaking into post O range, my OPKs are still negative but not stark white like they were post O last time so I don't think I O'd. We'll see.
GTKY: I have a shitty pair of winter boots that are super warm thinsulate boots I kick around in during the winter on the weekends. I say shitty because they're old and the zippers are busted but I'm not ready to part with them yet. I'm reading for flaming on this one, but in the summer I LOVE wearing my Birkenstocks with socks. It is the best because my feet still get ventilation, but they stay cozy warm and are comfortable. My husband rags on me for it all the time. Don't care. Lol
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Doc sending me for bloodwork on CD3 and 21 to look at why my cycles are so erratic. pet peeve: if she took me into the appointment on time I could've gotten the bloodwork done on my last CD3 but now I have to wait until it comes back 'round again
GTKY: What's your favorite kind of weekend footwear? I work 6 days a week so 'weekend' for me is Sunday only. which means I wear socks, slippers or if im going out in this cold Canadian weather.. boots with the warmest socks.

Cycle/Month: 4/5
CD: 14
What are you doing to GKTFU?: gotta sex it up tonight baby! and other stuff.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: This cycle I'm actually recording my secondary signs for the first time. A little too fun. H can't get into my current joy of EWCM and peeing in cups.
GTKY: What's your favorite kind of weekend footwear? For going out, I have a pair of Calvin Klein heels that H's aunt actually gave me because she didn't like them, and I love them. They're adorable but comfy. For normal things, pointy ballet flats. For home, slippers all day.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: af was gone and came back the next day. It's annoying when this happens. It seems like I have it 2-3 days and then off and on for a couple more.
The same thing has been happening to me, it's such a mindfuck!
Cycle/Month: I've been counting wrong all along, this is actually cycle 6 (5AL) #fail
CD: 15
What we're doing: Le sex.
R/R/CS: I've been so bad for temping this cycle. But yayyyy EWCM!
GTKY: Same shoes I wear during the week... Sorels in the winter, flip flops or birkenstcks in the summer.
Ray MH will wear Birkenstocks even in freezing cold temperatures but only occassionally with socks. His current pair is 4 years old but his last pair got put on display at a Birkenstock store. A lot of miles and alot of stories.

For real? That is impressive! I'm weird. I will wont wear sock n stocks if I'm wearing shorts. So I generally end up wearing jeans all summer lol
CD: 5- AF was all bark and no bite this cycle. Only three light days before disappearing, but the most pain I've ever been in. For real.
What are you doing to GKTFU?: Just chillin'. BBT for now. Will start OPKs next week
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I realllyyyyyy thought I was fighting to flu yesterday. I was sick to stomach and having the chills all day. I crashed into bed at 9pm and turned my alarm off thinking 'fuck temping if I'm sick, it's early enough to skip a day or two' but I woke up around 520 on my own and still temped before falling back asleep. Temperature was exactly 97.7, so I hope my thermometer isn't dying. I used it a couple of times last night to monitor my low grade fever and it was fine.
GTKY: Sneakers. All the sneakers. I have sooooo many. As soon as my running shoes hit their running threshold I use them for walking around. In the summer I like to just be bare foot. I own like two pairs of flip flops; one sort of nice pair I throw on to run errands and one for swimming/the pool deck/the beach. But really, I wear sneakers all year round.

He's got serious Hobbit feet. He wears shoes/boots when it's required. The socks w/Birks are only if what he's walking in is questionable. He's in shorts any opportunity he gets. He's a big guy and doesn't get cold easily.
R/R/CS: I'm probably going to hang out here a bit, but may also hang out in WTDS. We will miss my FW due to travel in March and possibly April, which means our next chance for GKU will probably be my May FW, which happens to be our honeymoon. The waiting will suck, but the idea of a honeymoon baby is kinda cute.
What are you doing to GKTFU?:BBT, OPKs, sex, letrozole (CD 4-8)
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: My chart is so jacked up. I have no idea what is going on. I need to call the RE and schedule a monitoring appointment.
GTKY: What's your favorite kind of weekend footwear?(decided to eep the clothing theme going)-Inside the house I am always barefoot.. OUt side the house-if there is no snow I am in flip-flops/sandals and in the winter boots.
What are you doing to GKTFU?: PNVs, BBT, waiting out O
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: For the first time in months my dogs actually let me sleep in until 6 AM. I'd prefer them to sleep until like... 10 but 6 is much better than the 4 am that has been their habit lately.
GTKY: What's your favorite kind of weekend footwear?Flipflops or sandals. I hate socks.
Cycle/Month: 1/2 CD: 31....just keep swimming, just keep swimming.... What are you trying to do to get KU? : BBT, CM check, sex, OPKs RRCS : Temp jumped up to above 97! Really really hoping it goes up again. OPK was negative yesterday with copious amounts of EWCM so FX I O'd yesterday because we weren't going to have sex but then we had a spontaneous lunch session before DH went back to work.
GTYK : What's your favorite kind of weekend footwear? Anything that doesn't require socks or tying shoelaces.

Hi ladies! After a little hiatus I'm back. We moved into out place and it was so stressful. But things are smoothing out and I'm excited to get everything unpacked.
Sorry for all the CD 1s.
Cycle/Month: 5
CD: 8
What are you doing to GKTFU?: Need to find my thermometer.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I don't think I'm going to be very interested in hitting the FW this cycle. We are really all over the place with this move and H starts his new job on Tuesday. I need to find one ASAP too.
GTKY: What's your favorite kind of weekend footwear?(decided to eep the clothing theme going)
Depends on what we are doing. I love to wear heels so anytime I get the chance I will.
