What are you doing to get KTFU? Opks, temping, cm, switching to EOD this month, may send DH for SA
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: all the AF symptoms
GTKY: what is your favorite form of exercise? Do you feel you get enough exercise, or do you think you could always use some more?
I definitely don't get enough exercise right now. Hiking is my favorite, but I'm really only walking my dog lately. Because I'm feeling crummy about CD1, I decide to post my handsome man...

What are you doing to get KTFU? EOD, green tea, temping
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: today marks day three of the exact same temp. Gee thanks bbt. At least I'm consistent? It might be time for a better thermometer...
GTKY: what is your favorite form of exercise? Do you feel you get enough exercise, or do you think you could always use some more? I love yoga, but I never do it. My work is extremely active, so I don't feel too bad about not putting in the effort, I miss the mental benefits more than the physical!

What are you doing to get KTFU? EOD, OPKs
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Pretty sure I got a +OPK yesterday, and now my recurring mystery pain (that I believe is related to ovulation with my right ovary) is back. So my guess is I ovulated yesterday or will today. Debating whether I call the doc to get the pain checked out or not. Between DD2 and I, this is going to be an expensive medical month!
Unrelated, both my kids are still sleeping at 7am and that almost NEVER happens. Winning!
GTKY: what is your favorite form of exercise? Do you feel you get enough exercise, or do you think you could always use some more? I like running because for the most part it is mindless, and I've gotten semi addicted to half marathons. I always feel like I could do more, especially strength training, but I generally work out at least 4 times a week so I'd say that isn't bad at all.

Rants/raves/Chartstalks: can I get a chart stalk? My temps have been all over the place. But I think I may have O'ed on CD12. If I did our timing sucks balls. FF hasn't given me crosshairs gets but my CM is now virtually non existent and I'm starting to get my usual post O boob tenderness. Thoughts?

GTKY: I used to be a gym rat. But since we moved I haven't gotten a new gym membership. And I can tell. I've gained a few pounds since our wedding (6 to be exact) but overall I just don't feel as healthy. We are in the market for a use treadmill now that's it winter. I need to get back into shape. Plus I think exercise will take my mind off of the frustration of TTC.

What are you doing to get KTFU? Temping, opk's
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: pretty sure I o'd yesterday... Just waiting for a couple more temps to prove it.

Exercise?!?!? Lol
CD: 14
What are you doing to get KTFU? BBT, CM, EOD, Preseed
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: My temps have been all over the place. Started out the cycle high (>98), the last few days super low (<97), now today back to 97.9. Hopefully a pattern will become apparent. I also have pretty nonexistent CM, which is probably related to the fact that I'm breastfeeding. Still trying to up my water but I may consider green tea next cycle. Not sure if that will help if the dryness is related to breastfeeding?
GTKY: what is your favorite form of exercise? Do you feel you get enough exercise, or do you think you could always use some more? I love most forms of cardio; elliptical, running, step/aerobics classes. Before DD I was pretty dedicated to working out most days of the week. Since having her, I think I've gone running 4 times? I try to do pilates a few times a week, but it's hard getting to the gym with a toddler. I could definitely do more. My weight is good (thank you breastfeeding), but I definitely feel out of shape and not as toned as I would like.
In regards to your water question, I had a few cycles where I was only drinking like 64oz, and this month I've been trying to get in 96 ounces. I can definitely tell a little difference. I only drink water, no other liquids throughout the day. And if I'm running a lot I really need to add even more. I'd think 100oz would do it though. Plus I think any more water and I'd have to spend the whole day in the bathroom.

BBT, CM, PNV, OPK, SEX!
Rants/Raves/Symptoms:
After my "I don't use OPKs, they don't work, why haven't i ovulated yet" rant yesterday.. I took the advice I was given and decided to use up my OPKs anyway.. Well tada!!--got a positive this AM with SMU. Finally seeing 2 lines on something is beautiful! Lol. So I will jump the hubby and continue to HIO for the next couple of days until temp confirms. Thank you ladies yesterday for your patience and advice!!
GTKY: what is your favorite form of exercise? Do you feel you get enough exercise, or do you think you could always use some more? Sexercise is how I burn my calories ;-) & yes I can always use more lol

What are you doing to get KTFU?
BBT using FF, PNV's, after AF is over, OPK's, preseed, EOD sex, CM
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: I'm just waiting for AF to be done. OPK question though- when is the best time to use them. Since it's my 1st month off BCP, I planed to test 2x a day, is one just better until I start to see a darker line? When are the best times to test FMU? After I get home from work? thanks for any advice offered!!!!!
GTKY: what is your favorite form of exercise? Do you feel you get enough exercise, or do you think you could always use some more? I love dancing and taking dance classes, but I'm not taking any right now. I work out about 2-3 times per week. It's probably not nearly enough.

What are you doing to get KTFU? OPK to detect ovulation. Call me peestick McGee.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Tired. Been going to bed earlier, with the exception of last night.
GTKY what is your favorite form of exercise? Do you feel you get enough exercise, or do you think you could always use some more? : I enjoy cardio. I get on the elliptical every morning at 5:30AM for about 25-30 minutes, and it's nice to start the day like that, it definitely gives me a boost of energy, and I have asthma, so added bonus is that it helps to build my lung capacity. Started the regimen about 6 months ago on doctor's advice and it's amazing how much better I feel. 5:30 wakeup sucks though, but it's just easier to get it out of the way in the morning before work! I think I do enough, I don't want to go too crazy.

What are you doing to get KTFU? peeing on all the OPKs, temping, checking CM, green tea
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Just waiting for some sort of sign that I will ovulate soon. I ran out of Wondfos yesterday so made an early morning run to Walmart for the generic version of ClearBlue easy digital O sticks. Murphy's law says I'll get a positive OPK this weekend when we are visiting H's sister and won't be able to HIO ! Womp womp.
GTKY: what is your favorite form of exercise? Do you feel you get enough exercise, or do you think you could always use some more?
Once upon a time I did hot yoga regularly and ran regularly. I've done a half marathon once. This was all pre-baby of course! I hate making the I-have-a-kid excuse for why I don't exercise much anymore, but it is hard. H and I just renewed a local gym membership though, and I am running a 5k in couple weeks.
@peaseblosson55 - a lot of women on here recommend testing 2x a day during your fertile week so you don't miss a surge, if it happens to be short and come on fast. they also recommend testing in the early afternoon, because apparently the LH surge happens in the morning. however, i will just say the only two positives i ever got on an OPK (wondfo) last month were with first morning urine...
@runningmmommy519 - i drink Bigelow's brand of green tea with pomegranate - it's pretty tasty!
@ajetter - i also have a stabbing constant pain in my right ovary that comes on strong in the TWW. this has also only been since i started TTC and i've been considering going to the doc and getting it checked as well.
TTGP January Siggy Challenge:
What are you doing to get KTFU? I have always temped, used OPK's, we use PreSeed sometimes, and we are contemplating doing our first round of Clomid/IUI this cycle instead of next
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: I am currently laying in bed with my pup, with the worlds worst cramps! Thank god I have the day off!
GTKY: what is your favorite form of exercise? Do you feel you get enough exercise, or do you think you could always use some more? I enjoy doing yoga and pilates, but I do not exercise nearly enough (if at all since starting the new job). I hope to get back into the swing of things!
I'm not sure why FF have your CH before you started temping? I don't think I've ever seem that.
If you haven't been temping there's no way to know what your normal range is. Yes, temps spike after O but if you didn't start temping until after O you wouldn't be able to identify a temp shift.
Regarding "pregnant" charts - I think you are referring to a triphasic pattern, when temps go up again after implantation. But that doesn't happen to everyone (I've been pregnant twice, one was triphasic, one wasn't, and I've also seen triphasic charts that weren't pregnancy charts) and depending on when you ovulated, it would likely be too soon to see that pattern anyway.
Long story short - I think you might be reading too much into what sounds like just a handful of temps.
Does that make sense?

Rants/Raves/Symptoms: I finally got a higher temp this morning!
GTKY: what is your favorite form of exercise? Do you feel you get enough exercise, or do you think you could always use some more? I love to ride my bicycle but it's too cold now. I have a "dreadmill" in the basement that I use sporadically. I hadn't used it in 2 months and decided to run last night. It was rough. I've gained 5 lbs recently and want to drop it before 5 turns into 20. Hopefully I will start making it a priority.

Sorry for all the CD1s today.
@labess I agree with PPs who have said to not count yourself out yet. Also the temps I'm seeing on your chart are pretty typical of my post O temps. Keep temping and know that if this isn't your month you'll have a better idea next month of what your body is doing.

What are you doing to get KTFU? BBT, PNVs, sex
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Unrelated to TTGP but my dog has suddenly in the last couple nights started whining all night and I slept horribly last night because of it. I wish I knew why he's doing it because it makes me feel bad for him, there's obviously something he thinks is wrong and I can't figure it out.
GTKY: what is your favorite form of exercise? Do you feel you get enough exercise, or do you think you could always use some more? Favorite form is horseback riding, unfortunately it's expensive and not a regular thing at the moment. I don't get enough, all I'm doing lately is walking the dog and running about 2.5-3 miles with him a couple times a week.

@llw42614 I am so glad the OPK's worked and you got a +!
@peaseblossom55, I use OPK's twice per day; once with SMU earlier in the day and again late afternoon.

What are you doing to get KTFU? BBT, CM, OPK, water, green tea and AI
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: I am unsure whether my OPK was + or - this morning. DW and I are leaning towards +. So, I am going to wait to see what the results of this afternoon's OPK is before documenting. Lesson learned: do not pour out your pee until you are completely done dipping!
GTKY: what is your favorite form of exercise? Do you feel you get enough exercise, or do you think you could always use some more? Weightlifting is my number one favorite form of exercise. My wife and I have also started taking a crossfit class on the weekends and run together daily.

What are you doing to get KTFU? EOD, OPKs, PNVs, lots of water
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Just trying to be patient with my body this cycle. Thought for sure O was coming, but OPKs haven't quite turned positive and no real change in CM. Waiting it out like everyone else...
GTKY: what is your favorite form of exercise? Do you feel you get enough exercise, or do you think you could always use some more? My favorite workout is The Bar Method. There's something about the total-body strength workout and stretching that makes you feel amazing. Since having DS, I'm hard pressed to ever make it to class, though. They now have online classes that I may start trying after DS goes to bed...just need to find the motivation and often a glass of wine and DVR is just far more appealing. Running has also always been a form of therapy for me, but since the cold weather is setting in, it sounds less than appealing.
CD3 (af can be done any time now, thanks)
What I'm doing to get ktfu: bbt, pnv, will start eod once af is done
Rants/raves: stupid effing period, although it had been 64 day cycle, so I shouldn't be too upset. I stepped on the scale this morning for the first time in a while and am down almost 10 lbs! Yay!
Gtky: favorite would be swimming or some nom-workout activity, the kind where you're having fun and accidentally burning calories, like skiing or hiking. I don't currently get anuwhere near enough exercise.

Rants/Raves/Symptoms: AF left yesterday so i'm feeling better on that front however I still have a nasty cold that I got last week. My office is like a petri dish and we keep passing the same cold around.
GTKY: what is your favorite form of exercise? Do you feel you get enough exercise, or do you think you could always use some more? Hmmm, sex is a great form of exercise but I honestly don't exercise as much as I should. I am definitely a great power walker though
