What are you doing to get KU? BBT, OPK, Vitamin D. Also plan on trying EOD sex instead of ED sex this cycle because DH has concerns that he's not producing much "volume"
Rants/raves/chart stalks: None today.
GTKY: Do you prefer cooking or baking? No preference. But if there's a hidden question behind this regarding savory vs sweet, I'm 100% on the savory side. I don't like sweet confections very much. Favorite thing to make [currently] is Briam. Its roasted eggplant (and some other veggies) with lots of olive oil and salt
peanutmuse that meal sounds delicious! Love pork chops, risotto and brussel sprouts
Cycle/Month: 2
CD: 18
What are you doing to GKTFU? PNU, BBT, OPK, green tea, OPK
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Still no +OPK, but CM seems to be changing
GTKY: Do you prefer: cooking or baking? Why? What's your favorite thing to make? I love both, but I hate meal planning or shopping so we do Dream Dinners. Plus side, really easy instructions, so DH is learning to cook without me micro-managing too much.
What are you doing to GKTFU? EOD sex (ED if we feel like it), PNVs, folic acid, baby aspirin, pom juice, fertilitea, temping, OPKs when CM starts to change
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: nothing at the moment
GTKY: Do you prefer: cooking or baking? Why? What's your favorite thing to make? Baking because it's usually less time-intensive. I love cookies and cakes.
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.
I'm on the same cycle days as you right now icequeen. I'm sorry to hear your CD 1 news. We'll get to TWW soon, and I know your RE is looking out for the best. ((Hugs))
What are you doing to GKTFU? Temping, checking CM, and using OPKs to keep track of my cycle but not having unprotected sex until I get on replacement meds for my hypothyroidism.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: My chart is all over the place due to the thyroid issue but hopefully that will be resolved soon. Had a big drop in temp today.
GTKY: Do you prefer: cooking or baking? Why? What's your favorite thing to make? I prefer baking because it usually results in something sweet. Sweets make the cleaning up the mess worth it. I love making cakes/cupcakes/muffins.
@katerli, I know the feeling...I have a coworker who is due within a couple of weeks of when I would have been. I'm happy for her, but when I'm having a bad day, being around her can be tough.
Cycle/Month: 7
CD: 2
What are you doing to GKTFU? Waiting for AF to vacate, then BBT, OPK, CM
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I've been having a tough time staying positive about ttc lately. I know we haven't been at it that long, in the grand scheme of things, but I'm AMA, and I'm scared of more losses. Maybe I need to distract myself with something not baby related...
GTKY: Do you prefer: cooking or baking? Why? What's your favorite thing to make? I rarely bake, but I cook some. I'm pretty sure MH married me for my spaghetti and meatballs!
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Um, no mucho. Just doing my thang and wondering if it'll work this month. I'm cramping today like I normally cramp right before AF, so that's odd.
GTKY: Do you prefer: cooking or baking? Why? What's your favorite thing to make? I prefer baking...because I generally like the results better. I really like making chocolate chip cookies and brownies from scratch.
I'm always late to the party thanks to west coast time.
Cycle/Month: 0/17 total (2 losses)
CD: 27
What are you doing to GKTFU? just waiting and keeping track of all things
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I think yesterday was O since I had a nice temp spike today and my OPK was back to -. I'll stick around here until I get CH's if that's ok.
GTKY: Do you prefer: cooking or baking? Why? What's your favorite thing to make? I like both. I like that with cooking you don't have to be exact and you can make a recipe your own. I like baking because...dessert! DH has celiacs so we do way more cooking and not much baking. I don't have a favorite thing to make, but I'm known for baking something my friends call Cheesecake Crack.
Ray - I know the feeling, late O is the pits, hang in there! mustloveerica - I would just mark fever. This early in your cycle one or two high temps shouldn't mess things up too much. Sparkly - Have a great time in Phoenix, a good night's sleep sounds divine. @paprm951214 - You gotta start somewhere, we've all checked off the same noob boxes. pbandj714 - ((hugs)) FX you O soon. mrss44 - glad you're starting to feel better. mtnmomma13 - Our new crockpot is my latest obsession, it's so easy! eriniscool - lol at sex week, all I could think was "shark week" icequeen - giant hugs sent your way!

Sooo.....only on CD7 ATM. Just got home from work, crazy ass back ache an O like cramping. Checked my CM and major amounts of EWCM, like more than I've ever had before. How in earth can this be happening so early? I know it could seem like I'm going to O but not with out temp confirmation, just seems strange. Anyone else had Possible O so soon?
What are you doing to GKTFU? Sex, BBT, PNV, Baby ASA
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: First month temping vaginally. Hoping to O in next few days. H is off his Paxil for 2 weeks and it has hopefully lined up with my FW. So I have 2 weeks of him having his normal sex drive and I'm trying to take advantage of it and him as much as possible. lol Hoping at his Dr appt in 2 weeks that they can find a med that works for him without the sexual side effects. I feel so bad for him. I just want a med to help him, and not make it to where he gets so frustrated because he can't finish. I just want to help him in any way I can, but it is nothing I can "fix" so I feel helpless. It makes it so hard TTC. I don't want to put pressure on him and make him feel bad.
GTKY: Do you prefer: cooking or baking? Why? What's your favorite thing to make? I don't like to do either. I am lucky to have a H who likes to cook. I do bake for special occasions. When his Grandmother passed away I was handed her family recipe for Pecan Pies. I try to make them for his dad whenever I can. H is allergic to nuts so I don't make them just for us.
