Re: Waiting to O Friday!
CD: 1
What are you doing?: Taking a damn break from everything! Probably not temping for a couple of weeks. My last cycle really messed with my brain and I need a break.
Chart Stalks/Rants: Nothing to see yet
GTKY: What's your favorite mixed drink (I need new ideas)?
I love a good Cosmo!
CD: 13
What are you doing?: Sex, temping, OPK's
Chart Stalks/Rants: I never know where to post when I'm 99% sure I've ovulated, but waiting for crosshairs? I got my +OPK two days ago, then - yesterday. Temp up teeny today, I think I'll get crosshairs Sunday if i'm correct and it keeps rising.
GTKY: What's your favorite mixed drink (I need new ideas)? Anything with rum or vodka. My favorite drink is coconut rum with pineapple juice. Lots of crushed ice.
CD: 12
What are you doing?: EOD, CBEFM, water, temping, acupuncture
Chart Stalks/Rants: I don't think I dipped my test stick long enough this morning because it was a blob of yuck when I took it out of the monitor. I used an OPK as a backup but the Up&Up ones I have are so light it's hard to tell if the line is as dark as the control line. We'll continue to HIO until I get a temp spike, but I hate when I mess up the monitor when it's going to give me a peak reading.
GTKY: What's your favorite mixed drink (I need new ideas)? Whipped Cream vodka and watermelon or Peppermint Bark vodka and hot chocolate (for home). I love margaritas but I don't make those - I just order them!
CD: 14
What are you doing?: temping, checking CP & CM, OPK's, waiting
Chart Stalks/Rants: Was hoping for a nice big temp spike this morning, nope. So I am back to the boring, long ass wait to O.
GTKY: What's your favorite mixed drink (I need new ideas)? Rum Runners are yummy, but you have to buy alot of different kinds of liquor to make them. Coconut Rum and pineapple juice is always one of my favorite go-to's. Wild Turkey American Honey is really good in some Coke/Dr Pepper/Pepsi though. mmmm mmm mmmmm

CD: 10
What are you doing?: Temping, wondfo OPK's, starting ED sex as of yesterday (last cycle I had dotted CH for CD 11, not sure if it'll be that early again but don't want to miss it). Green tea, water, you know.
Chart Stalks/Rants: My temp fluctuations have been way crazier this cycle than last, which was my first one temping. Not sure why that is, but hoping I still get a clear surge. Also, last cycle I didn't use an OPK till CD 11 and boom- got a positive. I started on day 8 this time, and have seen them gradually get darker (testing twice a day). Hoping for a positive soon!
GTKY: What's your favorite mixed drink (I need new ideas)? My favorite to make at home is Gentleman's Jack mixed with ginger ale, lots of ice. When I go out I usually order something from the martini list, often a pomegranate one if they have it!

CD: 12
What are you doing?: Temp, CM, CB Adv digi opks, green tea, preseed if needed, acupuncture
Chart Stalks/Rants: Temps are all over the place. But on day two of high readings on the opk. The last two months I got 3 and 4 days of highs before a peak, so I was hoping for a peak tomorrow but it doesn't look like it's going to happen.
GTKY: What's your favorite mixed drink (I need new ideas)? Other than highballs, I don't drink many mixed drinks. Maybe a paralyzer or white russian. DH got me a recipe book for Christmas so I'll have to try out some new things.

Chart Stalks/Rants: My RE is having me do a Clomid Challenge to determine if my ovaries will respond to fertility meds. My FSH is going up and down, it was normal in Oct but the month before it was high. And my AMH came back low. I had CD 3 bloodwork yesterday to test FSH, Clomid CD 5-9, then bloodwork on CD 11 to test FSH again.

What are you doing?: Waiting on AF to GTFO, Temping, PNV
Chart Stalks/Rants: Nothing really, just trying to get the hang of temping this cycle. AF is still here, and I hope it was just my imagination that it was heavier flow this morning after I thought it was winding down.
GTKY: What's your favorite mixed drink (I need new ideas)? My quick go to is Malibu & Pineapple. I also love vanilla vodka and rootbeer. (or vanilla vodka and orange soda)

What are you doing?: Went in this morning to get my blood drawn for LH again since it came back high during my last anovulatory cycle. We'll see what that tells us. Aside from that, waiting for AF to GTFO so DH and I can bone.
Chart Stalks/Rants: Not TTGP related, but our dog has been acting so strange (excessive drooling, acting like he's sick, not wanting to be around us) so we took him in and they think something is wrong somewhere in his upper GI tract. They need to put a scope down into his stomach and that's going to cost over $1,500, and if they find something while they are in there that needs to be removed, it could be 2 or 3 times as much as that. Plus, the cost of medicines and follow-up visits. And then both of our cars have been having some major problems, so we just spent over $2,000 fixing them. And this morning we found out that my father-in-law is going into surgery TODAY to get a stone removed and my husband's parent's didn't tell us because they didn't want us to worry, which only makes us worry MORE. Plus, you know, all of this TTC mumbojumbo and my LH levels being off and not ovulating.
CD: 7
What are you doing?: OPKs, CBE Monitor & temping (if I'd remember to do it before rolling out of bed to pee).
Chart Stalks/Rants: Second period since August. Not sure what's going on.. but I keep forgetting to temp before getting out of bed. Kind of sucks .. a lot.
GTKY: What's your favorite mixed drink (I need new ideas)? Orange soda and whipped vodka, cranberry juice with sprite and vodka.
Me too! But I've moved :-( still get really homesick though!
CD: 2
What are you doing?: PNV's, OPK's next week, temping, preseed (can't wait to try it out next week- thanks for sharing @Bennfield10!!), pregnitude
Chart Stalks/Rants: I only have 2 temps so far so not sure if it's unusual for my temp to be lower on CD 2 than CD1. No drinking, unusual out of the ordinary circumstances. Again I'm new at it but just thought the temps would be closer as I started out.
GTKY: What's your favorite mixed drink (I need new ideas)? I love amaretto and ginger ale. Also vodka water with a splash of grenadine. Yum.
CD: 11
What are you doing?: temping/charting, PNVs, and eating healthy
Chart Stalks/Rants: nothing much... Just passing the time until O...
GTKY: What's your favorite mixed drink (I need new ideas)?
I love Long Islands they are my favorite :-) but my friends and I used to make cherry cheesecake drinks which is a mix of Vanilla Liquor and cranberry juice. Once mixed, they taste like a cherry cheesecake and sooo good!

Chart Stalks/Rants: nope
GTKY: What's your favorite mixed drink (I need new ideas)? whiskey and diet coke
CD: 16
What are you doing?: PNV, temping, charting
Chart Stalks/Rants: I've been taking my temp at random times because I never know when I'll get a solid 3 hours. Ack open circles.
GTKY: What's your favorite mixed drink (I need new ideas)? Peach bellini. That's more of a frozen concoction I suppose
CD: Also on day 1
What are you doing?: Lying with a heatpack on my abdomen eating cookie dough...but once I am done with that, temping, OPKs, Charting, sex
Chart Stalks/Rants: Last cycle was 31 days which isn't so bad, but this is my first month with OPKs so I have no idea what day to start using them since it is also my first month temping. Honestly, I don't even think I O'ed last cycle...
GTKY: What's your favorite mixed drink (I need new ideas)? Tequila sunrise!! Mmmhmmm
CD: 9
What are you doing?: Stuff
Chart Stalks/Rants: I feel like a little something broke me last month after the squinters turned into AF. I just lost quite a bit of hope for some reason. Logically I know it will happen someday, but this week, I just feel like it's going to be a long time. It feels like a BFP is going to months or years away. I'm angry that back in October I pre-set our insurance to the higher plan and did way too much on flex spending that we will now have to throw into something unnecessary, all because I was sure we would at least have a 2014 baby. And with only a couple chances left, i doubt it.
And confession: I have spent so many work days over the last 7 months jealously watching my BFF's belly grow with her second daughter. I've been sad that we didn't have morning sickness at the same time or commiserate that our jeans don't fit. Well... this is the first week in her pregnancy where I look at her and think "Damn, that looks rough!". Maybe I'm ok with not feeling like that. She has 6 weeks left and is MISERABLE. Tired, sick, uncomfortable, barely working.
(Or maybe I'm just saying that because it doesn't feel as bad as not knowing when I'll ever be pregnant).

What are you doing?: temping, just peed on my first OPK this cycle not expecting much, and the line was really dark. Time for some sexin I guess.
Chart Stalks/Rants: see above. Maybe I O way earlier than I thought I did and that's why I'm not pregnant yet.
GTKY: What's your favorite mixed drink (I need new ideas)? Mojitos, also I'm on a big White Russian/Caucasian kick right now because it's winter.
CD: 22
What are you doing?: Trying to HIO as much as we can at this point.
Chart Stalks/Rants: Positive opk yesterday and today. Holy O pains today. Will be HIO all weekend since I have FOUR GLORIOUS days off of work.
GTKY: What's your favorite mixed drink (I need new ideas)? Sorry, nothing crazy here to suggest. I love a flavored vodka like Stoli blueberry and club soda.
CD: 12
What are you doing?: charting all the things, green tea, PNVs, the sex
Chart Stalks/Rants: I would really like to master charting CM, but I constantly second guess myself.
GTKY: What's your favorite mixed drink? I like a mojito every once in a while. It's the only way I enjoy rum.
Cycle/month: 8/9
CD: 2
What are you doing: BBT, CM, EOD, PNV, green tea, and some pom juice today. It didn't taste as bad as I remember, so I will probably be doing that this cycle.
Chart stalks/Rants: too early in the game for negativity!
GTKY: I get asked this so much (I used to be a bartender) that I used to make up exciting drinks to tell people. Honestly, my favorite mixed drink is glenlevit 28 and water. But a fun one is German Chocolate Cake. Equal parts dark creme de cacao, coconut rum (NOT Malibu), and pecan liqueur. Shake well, pour over ice and top with a cherry. Delicious!

What are you doing?: Things
Chart Stalks/Rants: So, my temps plumeted yesterday, and stayed low today. No idea why. I haven't been down in the 96 range in some time. I haven't changed anything and my OPKs are stark white. Hm. Also, I saw my OB today and got the lasts of the test results from the labs he ran and everything came back normal. I clot a little faster than average, but not enough to make a difference in anything. He referred me to an RE for more testing and was pretty adamant that I go because he had no idea what else to do. So I'm waiting for that appt to be scheduled. I'm so fucking nervous about it. I mean, I want a baby so fucking bad, but at the same time it's been so long that I've been trying and hoping that I'm pretty sure it's never going to happen and I've mostly accepted that and so now the idea that maybe it might is kind of terrifying. If that makes any sense.
GTKY: What's your favorite mixed drink (I need new ideas)? Cool whip, peanut butter, and whipped cream vodka. Seriously, it'll get you drunk and you don't have to worrry about spilling it because you eat it with a spoon. It's love.
