What are you doing to get KU? Now just waiting for cross hairs to show up.. might try the pineapple thing tomorrow.
Rants/raves/chart stalks: Yay for Friday and the super bowl this weekend!
GTKY: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most? Essential oils- peppermint oil tea and orange/lemon oil tea with honey. Plus, lots of sleep, watching trashy tv, and chicken soup.
juliayadda - have you tried black strap molasses? I've been drinking it every morning in my tea and it has worked wonders! I do raspberry leaf tea with 1/2 tablespoon of local honey and 1/2 tablespoon of unsulphered black strap molasses. (Add more honey until you get used to the bitter taste of the molasses)
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
I did the same thing re: OPKs - my first cycle TTC was also the first cycle post-BCP, so I knew I would be flying blind as far as when to start OPKs - didn't want to just go through a million. I've started using them this month (cycle 2) since I at least have an idea what my first cycle was like. I did start extra early (CD9) just to be safe, although so far they've all been negative.

Friendly tip - it sounds like you would be better in the TWW - WTO begins on the first day of your period. FX that you don't end up needing to head over here!

Ya I feel like it makes sense to wait a cycle. My friend said to start using them CD10, but my cycles are normally longer then 28 days. So I may wait a cycle to two.
What are you doing to get KU?: BBT, PNVs, starting EOD sex and OPK's sometime next week.
Rants/raves/chart stalks: So glad it's Friday! DH is taking me to the Melting Pot tomorrow night for my birthday and I CAN'T WAIT!
GTKY: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most? - Tea! I'm a big believer in natural remedies and have all kinds of tea for almost any symptoms, including sore throat, upset stomach, headaches, muscle pain, etc. Love it!

What are you doing to get KU? Temp, OPK, CM
Rants/raves/chart stalks: I think yesterday was O day! Just waiting for crosshairs, and if I'm correct that would make -4, -1, +1 for timing. DH was gone yesterday which was a bummer, but we had sex the night prior and this morning so feeling good about that.
GTKY: Hmm...depends what kind of sick. I don't get sick very often, knock on wood. I've been using my diffuser a lot lately to fight off the dryness and like to put Thieves oil in as well.

What are you doing to get KU? Sex EOD.
Rants/raves/chart stalks: Got nothing.
GTKY: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most? I tend to eat really hot/spicy foods when I'm sick. Spicy chicken shawarma, hot wings, putting sriracha and wasabi on everything. Watching a lot of Netflix. I'll usually binge on documentaries, doctor who and programs about space.

What are you doing to get KU? PNV, ED sex, BBT, lots of water, CM/CP
Rants/raves/chart stalks: I feel impatient this cycle. I hope I O soon. I usually do, I just feel meh... I think because of not using OPKs. REALLY regret it.
GTKY: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most? My dad used to always put in Cinderella for me when I was sick. So, now I am almost 30 and I lie in bed with a cold, wet wash cloth with Cinderella playing on repeat and I try to sleep. Honestly, a lot of times, I'm out before she even get the breakfast upstairs.

What are you doing to get KU? still spotting off and on. Blah.
Rants/raves/chart stalks: I got nothing today, but I think I am in the same boat as juliayadda. A lack of iron would totally explain my extreme exhaustion the last week or so.
GTKY: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most? I am a big fan of ginger ale for stomach aches. I dont get sick that much, but I do get migraines. For those I really jsut have to sleep them off.
Rants/raves/chart stalks: I think the kid that DH and I mentor is going to be at our house a lot this weekend. He's really nice, but I look forward to taking my bra off.
GTKY: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most? Soup, zicam, top ramen, and Bravo tv marathons. When I had the flu I got a day of Millionaire Matchmaker!

Rants/raves/chart stalks: Nope.
GTKY: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most? Right now, all I want to do is sleep. But I also find tea with lemon and honey comforting.

What are you doing to get KU? Nothing ATM. Waiting until closer to O. Told DH to save his energy and expect to be jumped at any time. Lol. Trying to make TTGP more fun than "planned". DH still goes back and forth between excited for a baby and terrified, always a fun roller coaster for me. He should be able to walk next week which will make doing the deed a little easier haha, he ruptured his Achilles so he has a HUGE boot on for another 4-6 weeks.
Rants/raves/chart stalks: temping vaginaly this month as I'm a mouth breather when I sleep. Got some wonfo OPKs to try out as well. Fx to everyone TTGP a this month. Hump hump and away!
GTKY: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most?
Sleeping on the couch, watching girly movies that I normally don't watch, snuggling with my kitties and my moms mashed potatoes that I can never seem to replicate.

Why are you not using OPKs? I forget.
Because I'm lazy haha - no, I ran out last month, and I didn't buy any this month because I figured I didn't need them. I have ovulated the last three months around CD13. I regret the decision though because I like catching the surge and being reassured that it's coming.
What are you doing to get KU? Waiting out AF, BBT, OPK, CM, water, PNV, Pomegranate Pre-O, Bromelain Post-O, ED of the sex during FW (hopefully) ... I think that's it ...
Rants/raves/chart stalks: Nada.
GTKY: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most? Depends what kind of sick I am. We mostly use all holistic remedies - rest, TV & Ginger Ale are musts too.

What are you doing to get KU? I would love to have the sex, until then I temp.
Rants/raves/chart stalks: Nothing much. Visiting my grandma today and she always loves to give chocolates to the kiddies (us adults), so I'm looking forward to that.
GTKY: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most? I mix it up a bit. Sometimes Tylenol cold, sometimes Robitussin or Mucinex. I find tv marathons a great way to feel better.

What are you doing to get KU? Still TTA at the moment. Trying to get into the habit of temping but i always forget to do it before getting up
Rants/raves/chart stalks: i suck at temping! I also feel silly doing this check in when I'm not really doing anything. .... I saw mention of a WTDS thread but haven't ever seen one. .... am I just missing it?
GTKY: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most? I live off of tea. Chamomile tea or honey, lemon, cider vinegar and cinnamon mixed together with hot water are my saviours!

WTDS is usually started on Mondays. If you go back a few pages, you should find it. Sometimes the thread remains active throughout the week if people post of different days.

Melting Pot is my favorite place!!! I went for my bday this year too! Have fun!
What are you doing to get KU? BBT, OPKs, PNVs and extra folic acid, sex
Rants/raves/chart stalks: Haven't had a positive OPK yet (this is my first time using them) but my temp jumped up today, I guess we'll keep HIO until temps confirm. Also, H has trouble sleeping sometimes, he'll wake up at 3 or 4 and not be able to get back to sleep so yesterday I told him that if that happens again that he's welcome to wake me up with sex, that way he might get back to sleep or at least make it more fun to be awake. Now I'm tired because I had trouble getting back to sleep after he woke me up and I'm wondering if that screwed with my temp. Not that I'm complaining too much because it is a way to keep the sex more fun.
GTKY: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most? Hot toddy and macaroni and cheese! I really usually just want to snuggle with the dog on the couch with Netflix on something that I don't have to pay attention to. That and comfort food always.

GTKY: When you get sick, what is your go to home remedy or thing that comforts you most? Kraft Mac and Cheese with hotdogs. Cheap hotdogs.
