GTKY: In honor of Alan Rickman (RIP), who is your favorite actor or actress, and what is your favorite role of theirs? Wow, there are a lot of actors that I love, but I think my all-time favorite is Tom Hanks. He has so many good movies; I can't pick just one!!

Cycle/Month: 3/3
CD: 15
What are you doing to GKU: Temping, OPK, CM, PNV, ED sex
RRCS: I'm confused again. I only tested in the morning yesterday and there was barely a line on the OPK. Cue this morning with a pretty significant temp rise. I assumed I'd have a positive OPK this morning but nope. It was pretty dark and close to positive, but not positive. Either my surge is coming later today (I'll test again later this afternoon) or I missed my surge again. I'm beginning to wonder if I surge at night. I guess I'll just wait and see.
GTKY: In honor of Alan Rickman (RIP), who is your favorite actor or actress, and what is your favorite role of theirs? RIP Alan! This is a hard one for me because I'm a movie lover and have lots of favorites. One of my favorites is Daniel Day Lewis. He is absolutely brilliant in every role he has ever done. But probably his best is a little known movie called My Left Foot. He's also amazing in There Will Be Blood. I also love Tom Hanks in Philadelphia. And Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting. And Jack Nicholson in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. I could go on and on and on!
What are you doing to GKU: PNV, BBT, CM, CP (somewhat), and starting EOD this weekend
RRCS: Well, the norovirus is all gone but doctor appointment yesterday confirmed I do have mastitis (as a result of the asshole norovirus and my baby not nursing well for several days). So now I'm on a 4x/day antibiotic that can only be taken 1 hour before or 2 hours after eating, and I can't pump or nurse 2 hours after taking it because that's when it's at its most potent. Cool...this won't take up all my mental energy or anything.
Also really, really hoping this doesn't interfere with TTC this month. If we aren't successful this month, we have to TTA next month and that will give me the sadz.
GTKY: In honor of Alan Rickman (RIP), who is your favorite actor or actress, and what is your favorite role of theirs? I love Edward Norton. He is an incredibly versatile and talented actor and is so believable in all of his roles. I think my favorite-ever role of his is still in Fight Club, but he was also brilliant in the otherwise-very-forgettable movie The Score with Robert DeNiro.
dashook I'm glad your stomach is feeling better, but that sucks about the mastitis. What a PITA with when you can eat and nurse with the meds! I hope it's better soon, though.

Cycle/Month: 12/12
CD: 24
What are you doing to GKU: Temping, CM, sex, OPKs
RRCS: Had a negative OPK last night so I'm not sure if I O'd during the day yesterday or if my temp is up because I'm not feeling well. I guess time will tell! If I did O, thank God we were able to get sexy time in. Let's just hope it was in time!
GTKY: Oh man, so many that I love! Tom Hanks has to be one of my top favorites but I can't pick a favorite movie. Robin Williams is up there in the top 5.
Cycle/Month: 1/1 CD: 3 What are you doing to GKU: CM, Sex, and I just bought Reproductive Health Vitamins so not PNV, but looks like it has the same stuff as PNV - folic acid, DHA, etc. RRCS: Nothing. Just waiting to get this show on the road. GTKY: Diane Keaton - probably my favorite is an old 80's movie called Baby Boom or her role in Something's Gotta Give.
What are you doing to GKU: Starting everything pretty soon. Bbt, opk, cm/cp.
RRCS: I've been so lazy about picking up my bbt this cycle. I had been taking a break during AF and plan to start back up tomorrow. I usually don't O until ~CD20ish, so I should still have plenty of data. It felt nice to take a break from waking up every morning with my first thought of the day focused on TTC. Also, I'm feeling really good about my healthy eating. My jeans feel slimmer and I'm down 1 belt hole this morning lol. Woohoo!
GTKY: In honor of Alan Rickman (RIP), who is your favorite actor or actress, and what is your favorite role of theirs? Of course, Alan in Harry Potter as Snape. But if I had to choose other favorites, maybe Matt Damon (gotta show some Boston love) in Good Will Hunting, Kiera Knightly in Pride and Prejudice, Kit Harrington in GoT. I'll just leave this here:
ladytiffany24, many people surge in the afternoon, so you may have missed it (and caught the tail end today). I'd just keep testing and see if you can fit a few more sessions in.
Oh dashook, I'm so sorry about the mastitis. What a royal pain in the ass about the meds. It's hard enough to stay on top of nursing/pumping schedules and supply recovery after illness. So many hugs for you.
Yay for being cleared to TTC again requiressnacks! I hope your cycle doesn't do anything too funky this month.
I'm sorry you aren't feeling well thelittleredm. Hope you're better soon!

Cycle/Month: 1/1 (maybe trying)
CD: 5
What are you doing to GKU: OPK, PNV, will do EOD
LO mentioned below
RRCS: we're still waffling on whether to start trying this month. I want to because if it's going to take a few months I want the few months to start now. But DS just turned 8 months and is a cranky handful so he's scaring us.
GTKY: In honor of Alan Rickman (RIP), who is your favorite actor or actress, and what is your favorite role of theirs? I don't really have any favorites, oddly.
What are you doing to GKU: Nothing right now besides PNV, but will do EOD at least.
RRCS: Nothing right now. Just hanging out with the pain killers and heating pad.
GTKY: In honor of Alan Rickman (RIP), who is your favorite actor or actress, and what is your favorite role of theirs? My current favorite actors are Adam Driver (Kylo Ren yes, but also in Girls) and Michael Fassbender (in everything, but Jane Eyre is a favorite).
ladytiffany24 , I almost never catch my surge. I still do OPKs but put way more stock in temperatures and CM. Hope you get some clarity soon!
Ugh dashook , that sucks about the mastitis. So many hugs.
requiressnacks , I really thought you were kidding about not knowing Jon Snow! He is the main reason to watch GOT. Good luck with your cycle, hopefully it's cooperative!
ugaqueencity , I love the Sound of Music! Such a great choice.
Cycle/Month: 7/8
CD: 15
What are you doing to GKU: EOD, OPKs, BBT, CM, PNVs.
RRCS: I think my birthday wish of ovulating is coming true! EWCM and lots of O pain today, plus the OPKs are getting darker. FX my body cooperates and Os in the next couple of days so we can get great timing over the weekend.
GTKY: Some great answers so far! Tina Fey is one of my fav actresses - especially in 30 Rock.

mill23 & ellabee Thanks for the advice ladies! I guess what frustrates me the most is that without that positive OPK, I only get dotted CH. I want the real deal! lol. But yea, I'll def be following my temps and CM closely. Plus, I had some slight ovulation pain yesterday and am having some today as well. So the other symptoms tell me a lot too. Luckily, we've been doing pretty good with the sexy time so I think if it was yesterday or today or whatever, timing will still be pretty good.

When DH and I were deciding when to TTC #2, we assumed it would take a few months to get pregnant. I didn't want to TTC in August because I didn't really want to have a baby in May because there are already so many family birthdays in May, including his and mine. DH convinced me to start TTC in August because it might take a while. Well, that baby's birthday is May 15th.

Ok guise...just did another OPK. Test line is even darker than it was with SMU but still not quite positive (so close!). So my question is, do I test one more time this evening? Or just wait until tomorrow morning?

ETA: Or am I just being crazy at this point?!
I'd probably just wait and test again in the morning.

I'd prob test right before bed given your circumstances.

What are you doing to GKU: Temping, preseed, sex, OPKs
RRCS: Remembered the damn OPK today. Still negative. Feeling like absolute shit today - nausea, stress, tired. Ready for my three day weekend.
GTKY: In honor of Alan Rickman (RIP), who is your favorite actor or actress, and what is your favorite role of theirs? I love Patrick Stewart in anything. ANYTHING. I am super disappointed I missed him and Ian Mckellen in Waiting for Godot on stage two years ago.
