What are you doing to GKTFU? temping, having sex this month
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Well hello friends! I go here now yay! Last cycle was bunk, as we did not have sex. I have a GREAT feeling about this month though!
GTKY: What is your favorite book? (or top two, three, etc. if you can't pick just one) Crud... The name of the wind by Patrick Rothfuss was pretty darn good. The importance of being Ernest, made me LOL on the bus. 1984 made me discover the amazing world of distopia. Heart of Darkness is my favourite novella. My favourite series of all time is a tough choice but Vorkosigan saga from Lois MacMaster Bujold is probably it.
LT to books and having a good feeling for this cycle juliayadda, not CD1!
Cycle/Month: 3/3 actively trying since my period returned
CD: 14 What are you doing to GKTFU? BBT, CM, CP, PNVs, B complex, D3, pom juice, and aiming for sex 2-3x/week, EOD when I get back from Chicago if no O yet Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Had a bunch of EWCM yesterday afternoon. It's early in my cycle for that. We HIO, will try to again tonight, and all I can do is just hope I don't O while away... or if I do that it's in the next couple days so our timing is okay. We both reallllly want this cycle to work. There's a strong possibility I'll miss my FW in May for another trip so... frustrating. GTKY: What is your favorite book? (or top two, three, etc. if you can't pick just one) I think my all-time favorite book is Cutting for Stone. I'm planning to read it again soon. Also high on my list: The Lovely Bones, Room, anything by Anita Shreve, and The Red Tent after last month's book club. (Also, Harry Potter, duh.)
Cycle/Month: 12th cycle of unprotected sex (5th charting + 7 NTNP)

GTKY: What is your favorite book? (or top two, three, etc. if you can't pick just one) The Handmaid's Tale and The Great Gatsby (I'm the snob who won't see the movie and is annoyed by everyone's obsession with it)

What are you doing to GKTFU? ED sex, temping, and OPKs
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I actually have a question. I'm using the CB digital OPKs (not advanced). Yesterday I got my first smiley. Today, an empty circle again. Does this mean I've already ovulated? They're supposed to show two most fertile days. Monday the tester errored and I didn't test again until yesterday morning. My temp hasn't risen, so I'm thinking maybe I'll be ovulating today? But would an LH surge still be detectable? Or is it sometimes so short that you'll get a negative before ovulation? This is a no-stress trying month, or supposed to be, so I'm trying not to obsess over the OPK, but just wondering what you ladies think.
GTKY: What is your favorite book? (or top two, three, etc. if you can't pick just one): HP series, Jane Austen's Persuasion. I really just love books so much, and I find something enjoyable about just about every book I read!

I think it may be different for everyone but I generally ovulate the day of my first negative after positives. Sounds like today could be the day maybe if it lines up with temps, CM etc
What are you doing to GKTFU? Nothing yet. I should plan a big trip in Jan; that might do the trick.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Nope.
GTKY: What is your favorite book? (or top two, three, etc. if you can't pick just one) Dom Casmurro by Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis. I also love me some Orwell, and Austen. Harry Potter, the Hobbit, Lord of the Rings series. I know there are more...
Today is CD 20 and I had some EWCM so extra cautious sexy time starts now. I may have to frame a picture of my chart after this cycle lol
GTKY: I really enjoyed classics like To Kill a Mockingbird, In the skin of a Lion, And gatsby. I liked hart's war (highly recommend I you like to kill a mockingbird). I also enjoy quick YA fiction reads too to kill time

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Stupid migraine. Stupid weather. Stupid work. Can I just go hide under blankets for a day?
GTKY: What is your favorite book? (or top two, three, etc. if you can't pick just one) I love ALL THE BOOKS. But I would have to say The Hobbit/LOTR is one of my favorites.

Thanks! That's what I was thinking, but because for longest time I was using the advanced digitals, which don't let you test after a positive, I've never continued testing until this cycle. Told H we'd HIO again tonight, to cover our bases. And hopefully we'll see a temp rise tomorrow. Not tracking CM, to help keep stress at bay, so I'm just gonna have to wait out my temps and FF. Thanks again!!

What are you doing to GKTFU? Just taking my vitamins and gearing up for OPK's soon. I am so hoping that my cycle regulates itself soon.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Nothing here - just proud of my latest workout/eating right regime and hoping it makes an impact on my weight, cycles and overall health.
GTKY: What is your favorite book? (or top two, three, etc. if you can't pick just one)
This is a tough one! As a kid, my favorite book was Matilda. As a teen, my favorite book was Jane Eyre. As an adult it's a toss up -All the light we cannot see, the Goldfinch, Gone Girl. There are so many!
What are you doing to GKTFU? BBT, PNV, OPK, EOD sex
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Can I get a Chart Stalk please? I have not had a + OPK, but temp and cm indicate ovulation. I don't do OPKs every cycle, but I normally get two days of positives. Should I keep doing OPKs? I've only ever had one FW each cycle. fertilityfriend.com/home/35be36
GTKY: What is your favorite book? (or top two, three, etc. if you can't pick just one) The Bible and any historical fiction.
What are you doing to GKTFU? nothing unusual just charting bbt/cf, etc and hopefully sex during fertile days
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: no 2015 lo
GTKY: What is your favorite book? (or top two, three, etc. if you can't pick just one) I'm gonna say MM Kaye's The Far Pavilions, I haven't read it in years and am considering doing so again. It is an historical fiction and is just beautiful.
Sparkly, and @wallflwr926, have a good trip/weekend!
juliayadda, I hated 1984 when I first read it in high school. Now that I'm older I love and appreciate it so much more!
Cycle/Month: 4/4
CD: 12 What are you doing to GKTFU? Starting EOD sex as of last night, temping/charting, vitamins, Green Tea, picking up some POM juice today as well.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: My thermometer battery died this morning and I cannot find a replacement battery anywhere! So today I am picking up a new thermometer.
GTKY: What is your favorite book? (or top two, three, etc. if you can't pick just one) I would have to say The Bone Parade by Mark Nykanen. I found it in a discount section of Chapters and it was such a phenomenal book! Terrifying and suspenseful! I always wished they would make it into a movie, but sometimes the movie ruins the book, so I just reread it every so often.

I would probably keep up with the opks for another day or two, and see what your temps do. It could have just been a fluke high temp.
But, than again, you might have just had a shorter surge than normal and missed it.
dke2010, I also agree with FF as of right now. Based on the more dramatic temp shift, CD13 or 14 is also a possibility, but with CM, 12 looks good. I would not continue with OPKs unless you have a temp drop or start to see a pattern of increasing fertile CM again.
dke2010, I agree with FF right now. You may have just missed your surge.
Cycle/Month: 11/11
CD: 4
What are you doing to GKTFU? Waiting
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Ugh. I don't know what I ate that caused it, but I'm battling stomach problems. I can't go home and feel awful at home because I have a fairly tight deadline, even if what I'm doing involves a lot of click and wait.
GTKY: What is your favorite book? (or top two, three, etc. if you can't pick just one) I'm really into the Outlander series now. I also loved the X-wing series in the Star Wars universe. LOTR was another favorite.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: My CM sucks this cycle if it's really ovulation time. Pfffffft. If it's not, then this will probably be another long ass cycle. Double pfffft. RAVE: Ducks v Jets tomorrow!!! I am so excite.
GTKY: What is your favorite book? (or top two, three, etc. if you can't pick just one) Time Traveler's Wife, but as a kid I loved the shit out of the The Enchanted Forest Chronicles (Calling on Dragons) series.
