What are you doing to GKTFU?: Chart, Sex, OPK, Preseed
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Just waiting to ovulate.
GTKY: Do you prefer: cooking or baking? Why? What's your favorite thing to make?: Cooking! It really depends on my mood, but I love pasta dishes. Making them and eating them!
What are you doing to GKTFU? I got a massage this weekend in hopes of relaxing better. It didn't really help, plus it was kind of an older building which also had a gym in it so it was pretty loud in the room and not relaxing at all. I remembered to drink green tea this weekend too, but alas, not noticing any increased CM either.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I was crossing my fingers that I'd O today but OPK is pretty negative so it's not looking like I'll O tomorrow either. Oh well.
GTKY: Do you prefer: cooking or baking? Why? What's your favorite thing to make? I much prefer baking. My brain likes specific directions. When I cook complicated things (or things with more than 5 ingredients) it never turns out tasting like I'd hope. My favorite thing to bake is probably oatmeal cookies without the raisins (yuck).

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I had this inner ear thing all last week and now I have a cold. Things kind of suck.
GTKY: Do you prefer: cooking or baking? Why? What's your favorite thing to make? I always liked baking and I was always really good at it. Cooking did not come naturally but I have learned and now I love it. But I think baking is still my favorite. Any fresh warm bread is a favorite.

What are you doing to GKTFU? too tired to type it out. Basically, everything I can to optimize anything that could be optimized.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I was doing meditation and tried to pick up yoga again yesterday. I am so inflexible and weak it's awful. That was tough. I know that if I keep at it, it will get better, and despite how difficult I found it even with modifications, I felt better for doing it. Just have to keep plugging away, right? Anything that reduces the stress I'm carrying has to be beneficial to my life (not just ttc).
GTKY: Do you prefer: cooking or baking? Why? What's your favorite thing to make? Baking to cooking, but I largely avoid the kitchen these days.
What are you doing to GKTFU? BBT, OPK, PNV, Preeseed, sexy time.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks:
Is it bad that I feel like I'm wasting sex when we do it too far befor O day? haha. I did think it was funny that DH already thinks I pregnant because we had sex last night. He still doesn't believe me when I say its too early in my cycle. He's already being paranoid about what I'm eating and making me be SUPER, REDICULOUSLY healthy. Cute and annoying
GTKY: Do you prefer: cooking or baking? Why? What's your favorite thing to make? I love doing both but just hate thr cleanup. Love trying new baking recipes but DH has no self control so I can't make too much too often.
What are you doing to GKTFU? Bbt, opk's, cm, cp, pnv's, sex
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: got a positive OPK yesterday so now just watching temps. Noticed all my data is gone from calendar on FF for November and December. It's all still showing in my chart but nervous about why it all disappeared from the calendars.
GTKY: Do you prefer: cooking or baking? Why? What's your favorite thing to make? I prefer cooking. I don't know if it's my oven/pans or me, but my baking results are always hit and miss. My favourite thing to make is a roast with mashed potatoes and Yorkshire pudding.
What are you doing to GKTFU? BBT, OPK, PNV, CM, pom juice, thinking I will give pre-seed a try
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Learning so much this first time around. Especially that I have zero patience for waiting for O. Maybe soon I will learn how to link my chart lol, though I just started temping so it won't reveal much.
GTKY: Do you prefer: cooking or baking? Why? What's your favorite thing to make? I host friends quite a bit so I am always cooking so it's a good thing I love it. Baking is the worst. Unless I am making Funfetti cookies straight outta the box
What are you doing to GKTFU? EOD starting today, PNVs, BBT, maybe trying OPKs this month.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I think I have a UTI, and we're going out of town this weekend, right in the middle of my FW. There are 4 couples and 3 bedrooms (plus a loft area) - we had better get a room!
GTKY: Do you prefer: cooking or baking? Why? What's your favorite thing to make? I like both, cook more often than bake but like to bake more - probably because I like sweets. Favorite thing to bake are cookies followed closely by pie.
Yeay, I can post again now that the Super Bowl questions are gone!
Cycle/Month: 4/5
CD: 21
What are you doing to GKTFU? BBT, charting CM, green tea, PNV and riding the pony.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: symptom spotting says I may have O'd the last couple days but my temp isn't spiking overly. HIO for the moment.
GTKY: Do you prefer: cooking or baking? Why? What's your favorite thing to make? Neither really. I hate cooking and coming up with what to eat. Baking is ok but I hate the clean up.
What are you doing to GKTFU? Temping, tracking CM when possible, drinking lots of water, will be having sex eventually I hope. (see below)
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: This is a combination rant/giggle, and please don't tell MH I told you but... he brewed beer this weekend with a friend and seems to have accidentally squished his weiner between his leg and the brewpot when moving the pot off the propane burner. I'm not allowed to touch it at the moment! When he told me I laughed at him, felt bad for laughing, and then got over it and laughed some more.
GTKY: Do you prefer: cooking or baking? Why? What's your favorite thing to make? I love baking! I just seem to be better at it than cooking. I have a few signatures - blueberry peach cobbler in the summer, pumpkin bars (using Grandma's recipe, of course) in the fall, and chewy chocolate gingerbread cookies in the winter.
What are you doing to GKTFU? BBT, CM, OPK's, EOD/ED
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Mondays are the worst. And I hate snow. DH did a great job shoveling our driveway multiple times throughout the day yesterday and again this morning. Unfortunately the plow came after he left for work and before I left, so as I was running out the door (late for work as usual), I realized I was plowed in and had to spend 20 minutes shoveling the end of my driveway. Ugh.
GTKY: Do you prefer: cooking or baking? Why? What's your favorite thing to make? I prefer baking. As others have mentioned, I like the precision of it and usually whatever I'm baking turns out well. With cooking, I think I overestimate my abilities and try to come up with my own recipes, which sometimes work out and sometimes don't. Favorite things to bake are Banana Walnut bread and Pumpkin bread.
What are you doing to GKTFU? Welp the super shitty BBT everyone advises against began crapping out in this, its 3rd month, so I get nothing but preset and repeat temps now and ordered an expensive backlit replacement for myself Hope it still catches my O. Currently just OPKs, temping, and PNV. We don't have the stamina to HIO too early so I'm hoping my OPKs start darkening and regardless, the sexing will start soon in hopes 20/21 is a good guess of O.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: MH's best girl friend from college took quite a while to get KU for #1 and is already expecting her 2nd. I am super happy for them!
GTKY: Do you prefer: cooking or baking? Why? What's your favorite thing to make? I can't/don't cook, but typically enjoy Pinterest baking. I don't like repeating recipes because there's always something new to make!
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: sex week has arrived. Or sex week and a half
GTKY: Do you prefer: cooking or baking? Why? What's your favorite thing to make? I like both. My favourite baking is chocolate chip cookies and my favourite cooking is braised short ribs. MH is about 40 pounds heavier than when we met and blames it on my kitchen prowess.
Welp the super shitty BBT everyone advises against began crapping out in this, its 3rd month, so I get nothing but preset and repeat temps now and ordered an expensive backlit replacement for myself
Wait! What brand is the super shitty BBT? Is it the Target one?

Yep, it's the Target one. It worked just fine my first 2 months (1 oral, 1 vaginal), but now it's ridiculous. It gave me 3+ days at 97.33
What are you doing to get KU? Sex, bbt, opks, drinking more water, pnvs
R/R/CS: I just want to O already. My thermometer has also been giving me the same temp repeatedly so I'm thinking of ordering a better one if this cycle doesn't work out.
GTKY: I love baking but I cook a lot more than I bake. I make a mean red velvet cake

Well, shit. At least now I can be prepared for mine to crap out soon.
I have the Target one. I've been using it for 8 months. It occasionally goes on a repeat temp spree (longest was 5 days of the same temp), but I can always see a temp shift. Some people hate the favored temps. It doesn't really bother me. It doesn't necessarily mean your BBT is crapping out on you. Mine favors 97.33 and 97.45. It's really only a problem if you tend to have a very slight temp shift. My shift is big enough to see regardless of favored temps.
Hi everyone. I guess I'm back here now. I started spotting this morning but I think I'll go with CD 1 being tomorrow (full flow).
Cycle/Month: 7/6
CD: 1-ish
What are you doing to GKTFU? Nothing.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Just really upset and feeling defeated, again. I'm really trying to improve my overall marriage and personal health, but right now I have no motivation. My RE told me this morning that he wants to do an HSG. I had one before we started TTC with our first and had no problems, but he wants to rule out any blockages this time around. I am going to do my best to get through the rest of today, but I have a bad feeling the rest of the week is going to be a disaster.
GTKY: Do you prefer: cooking or baking? Why? What's your favorite thing to make? Cooking, because I don't really enjoy sweets. I love to roast Cornish game hens with potatoes and root vegetable. It is what I'm making tonight.
