What are you doing to get pregnant?: sex, bbt, PNVs, CM, green tea during FW
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Well I'm still here :-w. I don't know what is going on with my body. Temp dip almost to the same temp of when I thought I ovulated 3 days ago. When I put in dummy temps for the next few days, I get CH's for CD15, which is when I originally thought I O'd. In case my temps don't go up, however, you're stuck with me .

GTKY - Where did you (or if you're not married, where would you) honeymoon?: Disney World
What are you doing to get pregnant?: Even though FF is saying it's not my FW I know based off of previous charts that there is a chance O is coming in the next few days. Soooo, lotsa sex. And pre-seed. Since this is only our 2nd cycle I think H is quite happy with my request to try ED sex, but if O doesn't come until later than I expect I suppose it could get old.
I was also trying to track my CP but can't really tell if what I am feeling qualifies as high/low, hard/soft, open/closed- thinking I'll just have to keep randomly groping my insides until I have some comparisons or notice some changes.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Family coming to visit soon and I'm keeping TTC on the DL, so I'll have to hide all my TTC schwag. On the bright side, I just finished re-doing the basement and it's gorgeous, ready for company. It was so crummy before.
GTKY - Where did you (or if you're not married, where would you) honeymoon?: We were really fortunate to be able to go to Italy. Very memorable and so much fun.

What are you doing to get pregnant?:sex, temp, opks, and cm
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: nothing at the momemt... just trying to wait patiently
GTKY - Where did you (or if you're not married, where would you) honeymoon? We never got to go on a honeymoon... would love to go with DH though to Japan.
@norsern that kind of trip sounds like so much fun, I would love it too! Sorry that you had trouble with last cycle (I must have missed a thread, don't know the background) Hoping you get some guidance soon.
@littleliverpill Thank you for that! The tip about the nose vs. lips is especially helpful. I'm just trying to feel it out right now (pun?) especially since I am at the beginning of my FW, so hopefully as O approaches I'll notice some obvious changes.

What are you doing to get pregnant?: temping and sex
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Eh nothing much ATM. Waiting out my period. Day 3 of probably 7 (maybe 8). At least the cramping should be done!
GTKY - Where did you (or if you're not married, where would you) honeymoon?: We spent some time "up north" together at a cabin. It was cool and rainy, but still a nice getaway. We're hoping to take an extended 10 year anniversary trip- I have four years to pick somewhere and plan it!
What are you doing to get pregnant?: pnv, bbt, checking cm, soon.. Sex!! Yay for my H coming home!!!
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: FF gave me dotted Ch today, and Im pmsing. Stop day drinking FF!
GTKY - Where did you (or if you're not married, where would you) honeymoon?:We didnt take a honeymoon, my H had to sail the monday after out wedding. We plan on going to Europe to make up for it, Queen Mary 2 to England, then on to Paris, ooohh la la!
What are you doing to get pregnant?: temping, sex, OPKs, PNVs, CM check, drinking lots of water
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: At the moment I feel like I'm going to throw up, but I did drink a lot of water quickly and sometimes that makes me feel sick. Otherwise nothing. I ovulate a little later so I have a few more days before I plan on taking OPKs and such. Just waiting.
GTKY - Where did you (or if you're not married, where would you) honeymoon?: We went to Kennebunkport, Maine and stayed in a cottage at Bufflehead Cove Inn. It was pretty much perfect. We are saving up so we can go back and visit on our 10th anniversary (only 7 more years to go!). We'll leave DD and any other kids with the grandparents and off we go. I'm looking forward to it.

What are you doing to get pregnant?: BBT, check CM
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I started spotting on June 18th. Full period came June 21st for two days. I AM STILL SPOTTING!! Wtf?
GTKY - Where did you (or if you're not married, where would you) honeymoon?: DH and I married 2 years ago, but we never took a honeymoon. He was in the military and he had already taken leave for our wedding in our home state that he didn't have enough for a honeymoon (plus money was tight for us). And then he deployed 7 weeks later. But if I could do it over, we would go to Greece.
What are you doing to get pregnant?: All the things plus ED sex and starting preseed tonight.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Of course, the week of our planned ED sex-a-thon, I would get sick. Sniffling and sneezing again this morning (my boss is the sweetest and told me to stay home and rest, so I don't even have to work while I'm here), but I'd really like this to not get worse.
Oh, and I almost donated the tip of my middle finger to the kitchen gods last night while chopping bacon. Married 3 yrs and I just find out DH is super squeamish. He couldn't even help me bandage it! I am going to lose part of my nail but I think the cut will heal.. :-(
GTKY - Where did you (or if you're not married, where would you) honeymoon?: We went on a cruise a couple of months after our first wedding. Our second "big" wedding was during his mid tour from Korea so we didn't have time for an extra trip.
Cycle/Month: 11/12

What are you doing to get pregnant?: whatever.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: TTC sucks. I'm being emotional.
GTKY - Where did you (or if you're not married, where would you) honeymoon?: Panama City Beach.
@robi1 FX for your CH! I agree it looks like an O, and if it is, your timing rocked!
@jags8 Sorry you are spotting. I hope it clears up! I also understand the military thing. We had two weddings...one to match our orders and one "real" wedding. Lol
@rlpointer Boo water-induced nausea! That is an excellent idea for your anniversary. We did a cruise for our honeymoon, but maybe a trip back to our wedding site...hmmm!
@whitney101411 It really can suck and be emotional. Keep your head up! We are here with ya!
@linny1012 I'm sorry your DH is being so stubborn about things.hope y'all can HIO tonight for good timing!
@linny1012 i hope you get some tonight. H and I really want to go to Belize. @pippacricket I hate it when you aren't sure if you O'd. I'm not sure if you O'd or not yet. Unfortunately you just have to wait and keep temping (and keep having sex) @Whitney101411 I'm sorry you are feeling down @sluttybigb00bz sorry about CD 1
Cycle/Month: 3/5

What are you doing to get pregnant?: PNV, temping
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: temp spike today but too early for O. It is probably because I temped later and had 2 glasses of wine last night
GTKY - Where did you (or if you're not married, where would you) honeymoon?: We went to Italy and Spain. It was fantastic and we pretty much planned our wedding date for the honeymoon.

Cycle/Month: 7/8
CD: 18
What are you doing to get pregnant?: temping, checking CM, pnv, metformin, sex soon
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: DS slept like crap last night and therefore I slept like crap on the floor in his room. I probably shouldn't even count my temp from today.
GTKY - Where did you (or if you're not married, where would you) honeymoon?: Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. We loved it!
What are you doing to get pregnant?: PNV, lots of water, charting (temps & CM)
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I got a temp spike this morning, so I'm pretty sure I O'd yesterday. If I put in dummy temps for the next few days, I get crosshairs. I think I'll stick around just to be sure... If that's okay.
GTKY - Where did you (or if you're not married, where would you) honeymoon?: My DH and I got married in Jamaica, so we had our honeymoon there as well. It was wonderful! We went diving almost everyday!
Thanks @epidemic . A bunch of DH's buddies did two "weddings" but we knew that wasn't for us. We got engaged in July '11 and saved up and married in April '12. All of our vendors were very understanding and were not going to charge us if DH's deployment date got pushed up. But in any case, DH used most of his leave so that we could come back to WI to be married in front of our friends and family, and not much leave was leftover for a honeymoon.
What are you doing to get pregnant?: Sex, more sex, eating healthy, weening off coffee (slowly), making DH eat walnuts
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: A little late on the wagon to start temping I assume. I am going to start in the morning (found you guys too late!). Might as well start somewhere even if it is a few days before FW.
GTKY - Where did you (or if you're not married, where would you) honeymoon?: DH and I were married in NC Caswell Beach a few weeks ago (30/33 YO and have been living together a while now so ready to TTC!!). We are going to Europe in a few weeks..Scotland/London/Belgium!
@nikki8jean: It might not be too late to start temping for this cycle, depending on when you O. I'd give it a go!
Cycle/Month: 2
CD: 8
What are you doing to get pregnant?: Waiting for FW, PN, BBT
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Nothing to complain about here... I finally got a good night of sleep and even fell back asleep after temping so I'm in a great mood.
GTKY - Where did you (or if you're not married, where would you) honeymoon?: We spent a week near Clearwater, FL in DH's grandparent's condo. It's right on the beach and saved us lots of $$$. Loved it!
linny1012 I am certainly no expert but I have two healthy children from late O date... like day 35+... for me unless I had complete trust and much more understanding I wouldn't hesitate to have intercourse... I wish you well!
What are you doing to get pregnant?: BBT, EOD sex, PNV, CM checking, PreSeed, staying hydrated,
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I am so annoyed right now. My temperature has been the exact same for the past three days. I know that my BBT is not broken, because I did mine 97.7, my husbands, 97.0, mine again 97.7, mine after getting up 98.0... I don't like it.
GTKY - Where did you (or if you're not married, where would you) honeymoon?: We were married in Jamaica so we did a "wedding moon" it was lovely.
@nikki8jean I had no idea about walnuts! But I got a warm fuzzy bc I found DH eating some out of my cooking cabinet a few nights ago. He must have looked it up! Daw!
Also..your trip makes me think of all the yummy waffles you get to eat. Have fun!
What are you doing to get pregnant?: multivitamins, BBT, sex, drinking water.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: So I thought I'd let the next few cycles go since we're going on vacation soon and it would put my maternity leave right in the beginning of work busy season. Plus I've got a vaccine in my fridge that I'm not supposed to be pregnant when I take. But today's CD 10. And FF gave me predicted fertile days for this weekend. And I've been drinking less lately, and taking my vitamins, and even getting back into the gym after a month and a half of work making me miss it. So maybe I'll pee on some OPKs and give it a go. I feel like my mind is playing this "I dont want it, oh but I do" game every month. Stupid brain. At least I get to go see Jack Johnson play tonight, should be nice.
GTKY - Where did you (or if you're not married, where would you) honeymoon? DH and I met in Japan, he's French and we live in France, we visit my family in Florida every year, plus we've gone to Italy, Japan (again), Germany, England, Spain, Brussels, The Netherlands, Ireland, Switzerland, and Croatia together so far (all vacations). And a Canada/US trip is coming up in three weeks. But we didnt have a honeymoon, technically. I keep trying to negotiate Iceland, he would prefer Hawaii, Tahiti, or the Seychelles. I would be satisfied with just some good camping, but I doubt we'll ever really do a honeymoon now that we bought a house.

Cycle/Month: 6
CD: 14
What are you doing to get pregnant?: Waiting for CH, temping, water, folic acid, cm
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Temp spike this morning. I had O pains for the past two days, so I hope this is it. I'll hang around until I get my CH.
My "rant" or observation: I think H got a little upset when a friend announced their pregnancy on social media. He shut down and got really quiet, which is unlike him. Once he started talking again about an hour later, it was "baby this" and "baby that." I never really think about how this process messes with him.
GTKY - Where did you (or if you're not married, where would you) honeymoon?: We got married in the Virgin Islands, so we stayed after the wedding.
Aren't you on CD 15 like me?? I thought we were cycle buddies?!
Hoping to be there with you soon with the CH's. I forget too sometimes how this all affects DH, although as of late he seems more eager than me!
CD: 32 (dog passing away delayed ovulation about 2 weeks)
What are you doing to get pregnant?: temping/charting, pnv, thankfully we are having sex this cycle!
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: none really
GTKY - Where did you (or if you're not married, where would you) honeymoon?: We honeymooned in Jamaica!! We stayed on the resort and enjoyed the ocean, beach, and neither of us had ever been to an all inclusive so we really enjoyed eating!!!
What are you doing to get pregnant? Nothing right now. Waiting for AF to GTFO
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: CD1. Enough said. I might have cried last night. Damn it.
GTKY - Where did you (or if you're not married, where would you)
honeymoon? We took a week and
flew from California to Florida. The first 4 days we spent in Disney World. The
Food and Wine festival was going on in Epcot during our honeymoon. It was
awesome. Then we took a 3 night Disney Cruise to the Bahamas.
@nikki8jean the secret to lots of traveling is to already live in Europe, but we do travel a lot even for people around here. We visit pretty much anywhere we can by train since we get a deep discount from DH's work (free within France, and 75% off internationally). But I always feel like I wasted a weekend when I do nothing and could have spent it shopping/visiting museums in London.

GTKY: went on an eastern caribbean cruise to my favorite Islands: San Juan Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, St Maarten, Labadee Haiti - after planning a wedding a relaxing 7 night cruise was exactly what we needed and we've cruised again 4 x since.
@norsenI would love to do a road trip on the west coast also - my inlaws live in Portland an we have yet to visit. Maybe when we I'll plan a few days for my hubby and I to venture off together...you've inspired me!
@pippacricket - love the new name! FX'd you O soon! Thanks for the check in!
@mosdub - Lucky you w/ honeymooning in Italy! My hubby has been so when we planned our europe vacation together we didn't include Italy but he promises to take me there one day
@ripointer_ - I have always wanted to go to Maine and also visit other New England states - its on our list. Your HM sounds perfect!
@kdE2010- I got to fall back asleep after temping this morning also and had a wonderful night of sleep, which is rare w/ having a 2 year old, and last cycle every time I temped it was impossible to go back to sleep Here's to feeling well rested today!
@sjmcfmd - sooooo jealous you live in France! I fell in love w/ Paris and def want to venture out more next time. AND Iceland I would love to see...if I lived in Europe it would be high on my list!

@graceanne927 I hope EOD works well for you. I hope I don't O soon since the next time I will see H is next monday night. For once I hope stress delays my ovulation!
@JNCPro3130 Both Spain and Italy were pretty fantastic but if I had to choose just one I would pick Spain. Maybe because it wasn't quite as crowded?
