@fleurbeth, you eat the core of a pineapple? Like the middle hard part? How do you eat that? Excuse my ignorance.
A lot of people add them in smooties since they are easier to eat and digest when they're blended up. I juice pineapple and leave the core in for the post-o days. Its along the lines of can't hurt to try for me, but I like pineapple in my juice anyways.

R/R/CS: I got my Positive OPK last night and am hoping to see my first temp rise soon. I've been doing IUIs on the 14-15 days of my cycle, obviously unsuccessfully, so I'll be very interested to see when I actually ovulate according to temps.
GTKY: What's your favorite TV or internet show?
I love thrillers so right now I'm into Secrets and Lies and I cannot wait for Orphan Black to return soon!

R/R/CS: Nothing crazy to report over here.
GTKY: What's your favorite TV or internet show? My favorite CURRENT show is Better Call Saul. I think they are knockin' it outta the park. I'm also a Battlestar Galactica and Dr. Who fangirl. David Tennant. Good hunting.
I wasn't going to do this today due to lack of news, but I actually have GKU related news.
Month/Cycle: 5 / 6
Cycle Day: 18
What are you doing to GKU? OPK, BBT, Sex
R/R/CS: I have an almost positive opk today! Last cycle my almost positive opk (the day before I got a positive) was on CD 22. I am hoping this is a good sign that I will ovulate a little earlier this cycle!!!!

By no means do I think it will be the life changing factor in my getting KU. Just another something to do to feel 'proactive' in the process I guess. And there's also info in he newbie blog about this.

Month/Cycle: 2/2
Cycle Day: 22
What are you doing to GKU? just temping now
R/R/CS: Timing this cycle sucked. I got a +OPK on Saturday so I expected to have a few days before O like I have in past cycles. Temp rise happened already on Sunday. That means we only hit -5 and O. My temp was still up today, so I expect to get CH and move to TWW tomorrow. But looking on the bright side- I don't have to pee on anymore things this month! I was getting sick of the OPKs and it looks like a pregnancy test will likely not be necessary either.
GTKY: What's your favorite TV or internet show? Hmmm favorite? Probably House, MD. We own every season. We are currently in season 6 of Private Practice, though.
R/R/CS: if this month doesn't work, we are adding pressed to the mix, it was such a pain to get started. Weird because every other month I had days of EWCM, and this month was just 1. Aw well it only takes once I suppose. Also I defended my thesis today (successfully, ahh!!!) so I slept terribly last night. So I might have Od but I don't know, I think I will just wait until tomorrow to hopefully get a reliable temp after a good nights sleep.

You only need one day in the window.
Thanks pismoduo. I know I'm exaggerating a little. I was reading that chances of conception on O day are only ~5%, so I'm a little bummed. This cycle has thrown me for a loop.

I've not heard that before. I know I've read that O-1 and O-2 tend to be better because the sperm has more time to get where it's going, but I'd never heard that O day is less of a chance.

I'm on CD3, so I'm just waiting for AF to leave so we can HIO again! I started temping Sunday and this morning and the temps were pretty far off. So, I'm not sure what the deal is.
