What are you doing to get pregnant? PNV while I wait for AF to go away
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I've got nothing this morning. Just mostly unhappy with the terror that is my first post BC cycle and period. I'm ready for it to be done now.
GTKY -- What is your favorite holiday tradition? Picking out a tree with H. When we moved into together over four years ago it also involved us moving away from our families, so we got to start all our own traditions and what not. We always take the dog, go pick out a real tree, then spend the night eating Christmas cookies, drinking, and watching Christmas Vacation while we decorate. We both really look forward to it every year now.
CD: 10
What are you doing to get pregnant? I take folic acid and persuade the husband to take DHA and multi-vitamims gummies. And I temp, of course.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: None. I am not much of a symptom spotter, as I don't actually get PMS related symptoms so there isn't much to spot.
GTKY -- What is your favorite holiday tradition? I like making a Boxing Day sandwich with all the leftover Christmas dinner goodness.
CD: 15
What are you doing to get pregnant? BBT, prenatals, sex, eating healthy, OPK... the usual.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I forgot to take my prenatal vitamin yesterday! Fuck! But I've been good at taking my BBT every morning ever since we started TTC. So at least there's that. My FMU OPK was darker today than it was yesterday (both AM and PM tests) so maybe I'm getting closer to O? Maybe? I hope?
GTKY -- What is your favorite holiday tradition? My parents still send me 8 present for Chanukah. I love it, even if people think it's immature and baby-ish. I blame having Only-Child Syndrome.

What are you doing to get pregnant? OPKs, BBT, Check CM, EOD/ED
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: It took an embarrassing amount of self-control not to throw my thermometer across the bedroom this morning when I temped. I think I've somehow psyched myself out and delayed O. If I have my regular LP (13 days), then this will be the longest cycle I've ever had, excluding my pregnancies. I've never had a cycle longer than 30 days, so I'm really curious about what's going on in there. And I'm seriously considering putting the thermometer away and just rolling with it for a couple of months.

What are you doing to get pregnant? You know-like everything
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I found out yesterday my 19 year old sister is pregnant, unplanned, and she is had Implanon (BC) so that was awesome. I am still here WTO and going to an RE. The cosmics suck

What are you doing to get pregnant? All the things
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Well I'm hoping that this cycle will turn out like the last one timing wise since it worked but just didn't follow through. I'm not cramping too bad today so I'm happy about that.
GTKY -- What is your favorite holiday tradition?
Agreed. The cosmics do suck. I would like to formally protest.

What are you doing to get pregnant? BBT, CM, green tea, PNV and trying for EOD (so far so good)
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: nothing right now.
GTKY -- What is your favorite holiday tradition?
I guess I will say spending time with family.
Christmas this year will be a little different. My grandfather passed away in June and going to his house was a big part of our tradition. Also, I got married in September so now there's going to visit the in-laws as well. It's already a gongshow.
CD: 25
What are you doing to get pregnant? Temping PNVs and watching my chart.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: two high temps. Here's hoping tomorrow is high and I finally get my CHs.
GTKY -- What is your favorite holiday tradition? We started one within the past few years. We do the white elephant game with the adults after my nephew goes to bed. Add in a couple bottles of wine and it's a hilarious time!

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: My temperature spiked today but I'm not getting my hopes up. I already had my CH taken away once, so there's that.

What are you doing to get pregnant? Waiting for my period to end, and taking vitamins.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: None. I am amazed that I am six months off birth control and still experiencing a 27 day cycle with O somewhere between days 14-16. I feel very lucky and am still wondering how long it will last.

What are you doing to get pregnant?: Waiting for AF to pack up and leave.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Last month/cycle I o'ed later than usual (I think it was stress from hosting Thanksgiving for the first time), and I'm actually oddly grateful for that because my FW would have been mid-late next week - when we are home with my family for Christmas. It will still be partly during the week now, but my likely O days on FF start the day we fly back, so that's a little better - fingers crossed. I was willing to try some covert sexing, until my mom asked if we'd mind sleeping in the guest room instead of my old bedroom (long story). Which is fine, usually not a problem at all. Except the guest room is directly across from my parents, whereas my old room was on the opposite side of the house. I think we'll be ok, just lots of sex when we get back, lol.

What are you doing to get pregnant? All the things...
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I thought I was going to ovulate yesterday but this morning my temp only went up ever so slightly...and looking at my past cycles I usually have a drop then a small increase then it spikes up. So now I'm just waiting to see if tomorrow I have a high temp to indicate possible ovulation today instead.
GTKY -- What is your favorite holiday tradition? My family watches Christmas Vacation on Christmas eve every year while having some drinks and spending time together. This and just spending time with friends and family in general are my favorite traditions.
CD: 7
What are you doing to get pregnant? nada yet...
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: So this is my third month charting, and I'm noticing interesting patterns that don't matter at all... For example, my temperature doesn't really fall until right about now in my cycle. It can be erratic during my period or flat or whatever, but on cd 7 I have a temp spike and then my temp drops to my pre-O levels over the next two days. I think it is cool to see how like clockwork some things are (even if I don't understand the clock fully). Other than that, it is very likely I will ovulate while at home staying with family -- and I'm not sure how I feel about trying to have sex at my dad's house. You can hear everything! We might have to find a motel...
GTKY -- What is your favorite holiday tradition? Bah. I'm over Christmas and traditions. My parents split while I was in college and everything has been complicated ever since.

What are you doing to get pregnant?: sex, temping, started OPKs this morning, PNVs, checking CM
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Idk why but I'm excited to be at CD10....nothing exciting happens before CD10 lol well not for me at least.
GTKY -- What is your favorite holiday tradition?: I honestly don't think I have one. We do different stuff every year lol

What are you doing to get pregnant? That's a good question.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: DH has caught my flu but won't take the meds yet. I had a temp jump today but I'm guessing no sex since DH is sick. At least we hit -3 but I'll be looking back through my charts. I wasn't expecting o until Saturday.
GTKY -- What is your favorite holiday tradition? It use to be Christmas at my grandparents house with the whole family but it's not the same. Now probably having everyone over for Christmas Day breakfast.
CD: 20
What are you doing to get pregnant?: EOD sex, BBT, PNVs, plenty of water, and I think I'm gonna pick up some OPKs today.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Last week, FF had given me dotted XHs on CD 12, so naturally, I thought I'd already O'd. But this morning, it took them away and said that I haven't O'd yet...so we're still gonna HIO and see what happens! But it seriously is driving me nuts having such a wonky chart. I suppose that's par for the course the first month off BCP though.
GTKY -- What is your favorite holiday tradition?: I think my favorite is watching Christmas Vacation with my family. My uncles and cousins are hilarious and we all just sit there and quote the whole thing. I really just love getting to spend time with my extended family all together.

What are you doing to get pregnant? BBT, CM, OPK, AI, green tea and water
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I usually have a positive OPK by now but am thinking things may be a little off this cycle due to the CP. We went ahead and inseminated yesterday on the chance that I would O on my usual day, and due to our donor being unavailable today and tomorrow. At first, I was really stressing over things, but have decided to just take whatever comes and know that it will work out the way is it supposed to.
GTKY -- What is your favorite holiday tradition? Making big family dinners (even if at times it's just DW and I) and decorating Christmas cookies with our nephews.

What are you doing to get pregnant? BBT, CM, PNV, B6, OPKs, sex
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: C'mon body!! I think I'm going to have an anovulatory cycle.I know there's still time, but my CM is drying up too which probably isn't a good sign that O will happen. And, really, who wants to be 9 months pregnant in August anyway, right? Right?! Gah, sort of feeling sorry for myself today!
GTKY -- What is your favorite holiday tradition? DH and I are going to drive around to look at Christmas lights this weekend, and there's a hotel in town that really has awesome decor. So, I'm looking forward to that.

What are you doing to get pregnant? Temping, pom juice, green tea, P in the V
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Rave: Got an almost positive OPK this morning, so pretty sure I’ll be ovulating in the next few days. Rant: I’m sick and feel like complete shit. And we’re totally going to have the sex anyway.
GTKY -- What is your favorite holiday tradition?
St. Nicholas Day. My family is German, and we celebrate it on December 6. I don't really know anyone else who celebrates, so I felt so special getting a gift when I was a kid. My mom still sends us a box of gifts each year and of course includes something for DS now, too. Although...this year is the first year that DS really gets Christmas, though - he's super into the tree and really excited about Santa visiting "in two weeks, mama!" So I'm very excited for all the Christmas celebrations this year, too, even though most years I'm just stressed about all the cooking and gift buying and stuff.
NTTGPR: I stayed home today because, as mentioned above, I'm sick. I'm watching Love Actually and Hugh Grant is going from house to house to find Natalie and it's the cutest scene ever, I just want to kiss his adorable face.

Cycle/Month: first AF AL. Not sure how to word this... started TTC in sept, MMC in Nov. Now 5 weeks later I'm finally at CD1! So maybe 1/1 AL??
CD: 1
What are you doing to get pregnant? Once AF goes away... EOD sex during FW, OPKs, PNVs, daily baby aspirin after finding out I have FVL, trying to BBT
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: just feeling really unsure about everything! After my MMC I requested to be tested for factor v leiden (family hx) found out I'm positive. My OB says I can take baby aspirin for now. I will be getting in to see a high risk OB and a hematologist soon to get tested for some other clotting disorders and see if I will need lovenox during my next pregnancy. Feeling pretty bummed about all of this...
GTKY -- What is your favorite holiday tradition? I love baking Christmas cookies with my mom! We are doing it this afternoon :-) we also make toffee for Christmas with my grandma and aunts. We did this a few weeks ago and it's a favorite tradition also! I'm a nurse so I work a lot of the holidays so sometimes I can't enjoy the actual holiday with my family.
CD: 17
What are you doing to get pregnant? everything BUT sex. womp womp
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Well, two blazing positive OPKs and all kinds of EWCM yesterday and today. Great, right? But no sex, H has some stomach bug. Just really disheartening. If I O today we will have -3 timing.... not great at all. Last month I don't even think I O'ed at all, so I guess this is an improvement, but it's all for nothing if I can't get laid.
GTKY -- What is your favorite holiday tradition? um, eating, family, relaxing, all the usual.

Cd: 13
RRCS: wtf chart? I've had repeat temps before but not like this. I'm starting to panic that maybe it's an an ovulating cycle since it looks like nothing is happening with my hormones. O almost always happens on CD 15 so two more days until I know. Anyone know anything about flat temps? I've even been temping twice. Once with my normal bbt and once with my backup. The backup gives me about the same temp so I don't think it's my thermometer. Today it was a bit different on the backup but I recorded the first temp only.
GTKY: foooooooood. And I love baking Christmas cookies :-)

What are you doing to get pregnant? PNV, sex, getting better about temping...
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Since I have been inconsistent with temping, I don't have much to say. This may not be the place for this question, but...since my temps are still low, could that mean I haven't ovulated yet?

What are you doing to get pregnant? PNV, OPK, CM, BBT, ED sex
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: So H and I got over our weekend arguments and had some good make up sex last night. Here's to hoping it continues for the next week! LOL I can dream, I guess. Also, I took my BBT again this morning and it was the same (97.7) as yesterday. I'm having doubts about this generic thermometer, though, and temped again with the one I bought at Walgreen's back when we were just starting to TTC. I didn't use it yesterday because I couldn't find it. This one said 98.1 That seems pretty high. But I guess I should keep in mind I am up and walking around at least 3 times overnight to take care of DD. I'm going to keep the 97.7 from yesterday but keep using the new thermometer, since it seems to be more accurate. Any insight would be great!!
GTKY -- What is your favorite holiday tradition? My sister is a phenomenal singer. I love going to church on Christmas morning to hear her sing. She is the cantor whenever she comes home at our family's church growing up. I love it because on Christmas there is a HUGE crowd and I am so proud that she can sing for everyone.

What are you doing to get pregnant? Just bleeding out the vag.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: FU body.
GTKY -- What is your favorite holiday tradition? We open one gift on Christmas Eve, and it's always new pajamas. I don't know why it is so fabulous, but it is. Especially to open the present with hot chocolate and a fire.
@chad5285 I have to test at least twice a day to catch my surge, and I use FMU and then 12 hours later. If I am close to a positive, I do FMU, then around 1-2 pm and again about 6 hours later. It can be tricky and everyone is different, but it is easy to miss a surge.
@getzystark I also forgot to temp this morning, as my routine was all funky. Twinsies again!
CD: 11
What are you doing to get pregnant? OPKS, & just started BBT
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: This cycle I have been getting positive OPKs for the last 6 days. I googled it and freaked myself out with a PCOS self diagnosis. I have an appointment to go over bloodwork with my OB/GYN on 1/9/15, just want to focus on the holidays & not stress out too much. Being the only one of my friends that is TTC right now I am feeling a little lonely.
GTKY -- What is your favorite holiday tradition? My dad's side of the family has a big Christmas Eve celebration every year. I honestly look forward to it more than Christmas days some years!
