What are you doing to get KU? BBT, CM, EOD sex, green tea, water, PNVs

Rants/raves/chart stalks: nothing

GTKY: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most? Depends on what's wrong. A cold my go-to remedy is tea with honey and lots of Mucinex. Stomach issues, ginger ale, Gatorade and saltines. Everything else I just get lots of sleep!

What are you doing to get KU? This is the first cycle that we are trying so just prenatals, plenty of hydration and humping it out.


Rants/raves/chart stalks: I had a random fever at 3 am yesterday and then normal temps the rest of the day.. I found that to be very strange, but other than that not much going on here. AF packed her bags yesterday so I'm good.



GTKY: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most? My grandmother makes this wonderful whiskey, honey, lemon and mint concoction. It will knock anything you have going on out. Other than that I am all about cuddling in a blanket and relaxing when I'm sick.

What are you doing to get KU? All the things, except OPKs for now


Rants/raves/chart stalks: Weird temp spike this morning, I'm thinking from that 3rd glass of wine last night? I also have a cold that seems to be getting worse, not better.


GTKY: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most? Since I've been pregnant or nursing the better part of 2 years, I avoid most medicines. I make "tea" with these ginger candies I had for nausea, lemon juice, and honey, and drink it as hot as I can stand. It seriously makes me feel 1000x better. Fresh ginger works too, I just don't always have it on hand.

What are you doing to get KU? IF testing, just started temping, prenatals, ED sex, green tea. I ordered some OPKs and some vitamins for H on Amazon, and I'm stalking the mail lady waiting for them to show up.  UPDATE: I just got an email from Amazon saying the storm is delaying delivery. 



Rants/raves/chart stalks: So far so good with the temping. It's only my second day, but I think I'm going to do pretty well with it.



GTKY: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most? When I'm sick I really just want to be left alone to cuddle on the couch with a blanket and my dog.

What are you doing to get KU? PNV, water, temping/charting, HIO

Rants/raves/chart stalks: I am so happy it is Friday. MY FIL had surgery yesterday and I had to take DD to the hospital with me for most of the day. I also had to be to work early so DD is so tired and I can't do anything about it, I feel so bad for her. I am also tired and I haven't seen DH much because of the snow and the surgery. I am hoping DH is coming home tonight so we can HIO one more time and spend some time together.

GTKY: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most? TV, Sleep, and tea.

What are you doing to get KU? I am having sex!



Rants/raves/chart stalks: I have been so tired this cycle. I was anemic before my period and I feel like my iron stores have not built back up. I need to pick up an iron supplement but Palifer (100mg elemental iron) makes me sooo constipated. Any recommendations? I need to talk to the doctor about this, because I need to be awake.



GTKY: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most?

Tea of the chamomile variety
Gingerale
Chicken noodle soup
Soda crackers
Hot water bottle and my bed.

What are you doing to get KU? Nothing

Rants/raves/chart stalks: rave is that it's a PA day so I don't have to be at work until 9. Rant is that it's snowed so much I still had to wake up at 6 to shovel out my driveway so I could get there

Edit to rant: when I went outside at 7 to start shovelling a random stranger was just finishing plowing it out!! Thank you random stranger! You are the most awesomest of EVARRR!!!

GTKY: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most? I love me some tea, the heating pad, and NyQuil to knock me the fuck out.

Sorry juliayadda to hear you're feeling crappy. I don't really have any reccomendations other than maybe to try and find something with small dosages and take them throughout the day with a small meal. The first time I drank a meal replacement drink that was high in iron I felt like I was dying I had such bad cramping/stomach pain and this is what the pharmacist recommended to me.

HTH!

What are you doing to get KU? Bbt, pnv, opk



Rants/raves/chart stalks: cd 2- that's a rant enough. Ugggg this is always my worst day. I don't wanna go to work!



GTKY: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most? For flu/colds I use NyQuil and DayQuil. I pop cough drops like candy. Also gargling salt water for a sore throat- it actually helps. Hot baths/showers and Lipton chicken soup always feel good too. For stomach issues I use a cold washcloth behind my neck, and usually break into my leftover zofran stash just to keep fluids down.

What are you doing to get KU? BBT, OPKs, sex

Rants/raves/chart stalks: Temp dropped a bit today after a poor night of sleep so maybe something will come of it (usually after poor sleep my temp is elevated). We shall see.

GTKY: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most? Sleep! I just want to be left alone in a dark room with warm blankets and sleep.

teambrink-why do you have all your temps discarded?

Cycle/month:7/6



CD:4



What are you doing to get KU? BBT, OPKS, Sex. I also just started reading TCOYF so I'm hoping to learn some additional information.


Rants/raves/chart stalks: AF was gone all day yesterday until right after we had sex. Way to ruin the moment.



GTKY: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most? I have a very sensitive stomach. I find a combination of ginger ale, apple sauce, and rice help ease symptoms. Just for clarification I eat them separately.
My heating pad and I are also besties.

[teambrink]

cateyes I discarded my temps during AF since they were really off last cycle and FF said my temps fluctuated too much when trying to interpret my first chart. When I took them off last time I finally got crosshairs. I still take and enter the data to keep up with the habit for now, but in the future I probably won't temp during AF at all. Yesterday's is not there because it was a fever, I should be good from this point on as long as I don't get ill.

What are you doing to get KU? ED during FW, lots of water, PNVs, OPKs, BBT



Rants/raves/chart stalks: I'm getting an FSH done today. I am hoping that it comes out normal and that there's nothing wrong with me.



GTKY: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most? My warm bed, throat spray, Sudafed Sinus, Ibuprofen

Makes sense. I don't temp during AF ether-both because they are weird temps and I temp vaginally.

What are you doing to get KU?
BBT and sex, PNVs, Baby Aspirin (for MTHFR)
Rants/raves/chart stalks:
I just started temping vaginally this cycle.  I was hoping to even out my rocky temps a little. It is still early in the cycle but still looks pretty rocky.  I can always see a shift so I guess the rockiness should not bother me so much but it does.  I think the problem is never have a consistent sleeping and waking time.  I work from 12a-8a on some week nights from 8p - 8a every other weekend and at second job I work day shift from 630a - 7p  I guess I can never expect for it to be even. lol


GTKY: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most? Nyquil and sleep 


teambrink your Grandmother's concoction sounds awesome.

What are you doing to get KU? BBT, CM & sex

Rants/raves/chart stalks: DH and I are both sick, he's thinking it's strep throat.... womp womp. On the bright side, I fell asleep at 8pm last night so I got 11 hours of sleep and today I feel super rested!

GTKY: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most? NeoCitran, throat lozenges (Ricola are the bomb), tea with honey, and bundling up in the warmest sweater/sweatpants I can find.

What are you doing to get KU? Sex and temping



Rants/raves/chart stalks: My chest /throat has been congested the last few days, causing some mild laryngitis. I was feeling fine overall, but today I woke up with a wicked sore throat. So this GTKY is somewhat appropriate today



GTKY: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most? When I'm sick enough to need to stay home from work, I like to cuddle up on the couch or bed and watch Mary Poppins. It's been my "sick" movie since I was a little girl. If my husband knows I'm super sick, he even puts it on for me as he's leaving for work so I don't have to get up at all.

When AF comes right after sex, H calls that breaking the dam. He always seems so proud, like he rocked my world like an earthquake that starts a mud slide. He makes me laugh.

What are you doing to get KU? Just waiting out AF for the moment.



Rants/raves/chart stalks: this is the longest period I've had in 8 months!! 3 whole days of bleeding so far. I'm hoping the fact that this cycle is starting out different is a good sign.

The TWW discussion from yesterday has me feeling like poop. 50% of couples that don't conceive within 6 months have some form of infertility. Awesome. Here we go cycle number 8.



GTKY: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most? Coffee, Netflix and my puppy.

What are you doing to get KU? Sex, OPK, PNV, Charting

Rants/raves/chart stalks: after 2 days of +OPKs, I was really hoping my temp would be up this morning. I don't know if we have the energy for one more day of sex (we don't normally do ED).

GTKY: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most? I normally take a nice long shower and go to bed.

What are you doing to get KU? temping, sex. Will start OPKs next month


Rants/raves/chart stalks: Friday!!!! I'm so ready for a glass of wine and some couch time tonight.


GTKY: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most? If I have a cold, I make really spicy food. I think I love it so much because it's the only thing that I can really taste. If I've got an upset stomach, anything with ginger.

[gdaisy09]

Sorry to all those fighting colds, flus, etc. I feel your pain.

Cycle/month: 1/1

What are you doing to get KU? BBT, CM, CP, PNVs, Sex (we've been traveling and I've been sick so EOD just hasn't happened)

Rants/raves/chart stalks: I'm so tired of this long cycle. plus being out of town for a wedding and being sick has totally screwed up any consistancy in my chart. If anyone feels like a chart stalk I'd appreciate if anyone can make sense of mine
My Ovulation Chart

GTKY: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most? nyquil, sleep, and a good snuggle with my critters.

Cycle/month: 2/2

What are you doing to get KU? OPKs, temping, sex when we can (DH's current pain issues come up more in the evening, so planning to try to be seductive immediately after work today), trying to drink more water

Rants/raves/chart stalks: I'm a little nervous that I'm going to O earlier than FF predicted this month (not that it has much info to base predictions on) - if you overlay my chart this month with last month, the temps are pretty much identical for the last four days, and last month at today's temp was O day according to FF. Obviously need to see a rise the next several days to really know, but it lines up so exactly (off by maybe a hundredth of a degree each day) that I could O today. If so, my timing is less than ideal as DH hasn't been feeling well enough for sex the last two days, so all I'd have is -3. ARGH. My one sliver of hope is that many of you thought I actually O'ed two days after FF said, so maybe FF got it wrong last month and even with these temps I still have two days. Any chart stalk thoughts appreciated!

GTKY: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most? Laying on the couch and hoping that USA is running a marathon that day of a show I like, especially when it's episodes I've already seen. That way I don't wonder what I missed if I doze off.

What are you doing to get KU? BBT, PNVs, OPKs, EOD sex, staying hydrated



Rants/raves/chart stalks: Just frustrated that I still haven't O'd.



GTKY: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most? (knock on wood) I don't get sick very often, but when I do, a good nap with my dog is the best thing.

Rants/raves/chart stalks: day 4 of +OPK. Sigh. I think FF will confirm O with one more higher temp though.

GTKU: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most? I don't like pop but always want sprite over ice when I'm sick.

What are you doing to get KU? temping, sex, PNVs, OPKs, CM check, drinking lots of water


Rants/raves/chart stalks:Nothing really. It's Friday so that's a big yay! Otherwise just waiting.


GTKY: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most? I used to watch Disney movies when I was sick and I guess I sort of do still now because when I'm sick my daughter gets to watch movies and she of course chooses Disney movies. Personally I love snuggling up on the couch with Netflix or my favorite show (like Gilmore Girls) and not moving.

What are you doing to get KU? This is my official first month TTC. I have been temping and charting the last week to get the hang of it, and I have some OPK as well. I may wait a month before using the OPK until I get to know my cycles a bit more. This month will be filled with sex and temping/charting till I get the hang of it all.


Rants/raves/chart stalks: Nothing to report here. Just hoping for good things this year.


GTKY: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most? Neocitran is my go to. I love warm drinks, and it knocks me on my ass for the night
