GTKY: When you got married, how long did it take you to "officially" change your last name? Why so long?:

ETA: I can't spell.

kelseypie · April 2014

Cycle/Month: 1/1

CD: 8

What you're doing to get KU: temping, opks, attempting to have sex

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: I think over half my chart is going to be open circles. Temping with a 10 month old is really fun.

GTKY: When you got married, how long did it take you to "officially" change your last name? Why so long?: About a month, because it was a pain in my asshole.

MrsMCBMar2014 · April 2014

Cycle/Month: 3/2

CD: 13

What you're doing to get KU: Temping, checking cm/cp, drinking lots of water, and having all the sex. Was planning to get prenatal vitamins but never got to it yesterday. Maybe today???

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: Just waiting for O. I'm optimistic that it will be soon. DH wants all the sex once I hit the FW, so hoping we don't miss it. Depending on CM we may just start tonight.

GTKY: When you got married, how long did it take you to "officially" change your last name? Why so long?: Well, I'm a procrastinator, so I'm dragging my heels on this. We got married almost 4 weeks ago. I'm actually heading downtown today to pick up our certified marriage license (and multiple copies) so that I can officially change my last name. I've changed it on FB, at work (email and Skype ID), and on my personal email. I just have this feeling like I'm losing part of my identity changing my last name. I've been part of the E family for 33 years and that is what I've grown to know. I am now part of the B family and I'm not used to it. Whenever someone says "Hi Mrs. B!" I immediately turn around thinking my MIL is behind me. I have to get used to it. DH wanted my last name changed WEEKS ago but knew that it would take time. Once I get the certs I'm going to the bank and DMV. I need a new license, that's for sure. Mine is due for renewal like last Monday and I forgot! If I have enough time, I'm going to hit up PSE&G and SS. I just hope I get enough certs to go around.

Wish me luck.

letsgox · April 2014

Cycle/Month: 5/5

CD: 5

What you're doing to get KU: green tea, less caffeine and temping for now. will start CM, CP, OPKs etc. later as the earliest I've ever O'ed was CD 16.

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: finally temp dropped close to normal pre-O range. This is the point in my cycle when I'm complacent. I'm hopeful for a BFP, but not so much crush-my-dreams-if-it-doesn't-happen- hopeful.

GTKY: about a week after we got home from our 10 day honeymoon -- so 18 days? I did it all in one day. It was easy because I had all of my paperwork in one place ahead of time. I'm a planner and an organizer.

Pintobean39 · April 2014

Cycle/Month: 28 I guess

CD: 4

What you're doing to get KU: injections

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: I had 6 follicles yesterday but only 7-5mm. So my dr upped my meds and I go back in the morning. The nurse said be prepared to have 300iu for wed night. I really hope I trigger this weekend this is getting really expensive. Grow follies grow.

GTKY: When you got married, how long did it take you to "officially" change your last name? Why so long?: about a yr just because it's a pain in the ass.

Bennfield10 · April 2014

Cycle/Month: 10

CD:3

What you're doing to get KU: starting POM at the moment

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc:nope, just ready for AF to leave...very cranky!

GTKY: When you got married, how long did it take you to "officially" change your last name? Why so long?: less than a month, I couldn't wait to change it!

LadyRaleigh12 · April 2014

Cycle/Month: 6

CD: 13

What you're doing to get KU:vitamins, being healthy, temping, started OPKs today, sex!

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: Nothing today, gearing up lots of sex, hoping to O on Saturday

GTKY: When you got married, how long did it take you to "officially" change your last name? Why so long?: I got most of it done right after we got back from our honeymoon. Only thing left is getting a new passport, I have to re-apply for an entirely new one, new picture and all. So I've been dragging my feet on that.

MusicFanatic · April 2014

Cycle/Month: 6/6

CD: 13

What you're doing to get KU: Temps, OPK's, sex.

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: I got a + OPK yesterday afternoon! I did another this AM and it was negative. Hoping I see a spike tomorrow with my temps. We're getting in more sex this cycle- for some strange reason, my sex drive is through the roof.

GTKY: When you got married, how long did it take you to "officially" change your last name? Why so long?: It wasn't very long at all. I don't actually remember, is that bad? It's been almost 10 years. I know I worked on all the paperwork pretty quickly... went to SS, DMV, etc.. within a few weeks. The only think I delayed on was my passport because that was a PITA for me. But I think it was all within a month.

NerdyLucy · April 2014

Cycle/Month: 4/4

CD: CD4 and my period has pretty much disappeared. For the last two months, it's "stopped" for 2 days, then come back, so I'm not letting it trick me.

What you're doing to get KU: Sexy sexy sex, temping, OPK

I also take PNV, but I never include that here because I don't do it to get KU, it's just for after I do get KU.

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: Not much. DH and I will be out of state this weekend for a wedding, and I have a feeling my temping will be jacked up for 2-3 days. Hopefully not.

GTKY: When you got married, how long did it take you to "officially" change your last name? Why so long?:

I didn't and I won't, unless a different decision is made later.

Spunky1012 · April 2014

Cycle/Month: 6AL

CD: 13

What you're doing to get KU: femara, trigger, IUI, some sex

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: HSG is all clear. Triggered last night and IUI is scheduled for tomorrow.

GTKY: When you got married, how long did it take you to "officially" change your last name? Why so long?: not long surprisingly. Maybe a month or two?

cocoliso13 · April 2014

Cycle/Month: 4/4

CD: 15

What you're doing to get KU: temping, OPKs, checking CM, scheduling sex for after this 14 hour shift I'm about to work (sexy)

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: positive OPK this morning and temp dipped so I'm hoping I see that rise soon

GTKY: I think I'm in the minority here in that we're not married. With no immediate plans to get married either, anyone else?

We've been together coming up on 4 years, it's a really solid relationship, it's just that neither of us is in a hurry or interested in a wedding. I'm sure we'll do a courthouse deal after the baby comes along but for now...meh. I know it diminishes people's view of our commitment, but luckily that has no effect on us.
I'm also planning on keeping my name when and if we do go for it. It's just a really cool name.

Lizbeth2462 · April 2014

Cycle/Month: 6/6

CD: 9

What you're doing to get KU: Started OPK's yesterday, have been HIO EOD but I think we're starting ED tonight (have O'd on CD 11 or 13 past cycles). Drinking lots of water, no caffeine, limited alcohol, FertileCM.

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: I just really want a baby.

GTKY: When you got married, how long did it take you to "officially" change your last name? Why so long?: I did SS card, license, bank accounts, work etc. all within a month or so. I still haven't done my passport, just cause I'm being lazy with that one.

DH and I just got married in October 2013, but our wedding date was on our 12th dating anniversary.

I understand what you mean regarding how not being married affects how others see your relationship.

Now that we're married, people keep asking how married life is, which is a relatively normal/common question, I guess, but some seem to imply that we're somehow more committed. Sure, we're legally more committed, but we're really the same as we have been for most of our 12 years.

The last 4 four months have been a little different because we're TTC for the first time, but our 6 months of marriage hasn't changed us as much as others assume. We've always been committed.

YaMrWhite · April 2014

Cycle/Month: 9/3AL

CD: 5

What you're doing to get KU: drinking mass amounts of water to try and increase CM, PNVs, sexy time EOD until I notice EWCM and/or +OPks then ED/2x daily if possible, no caffeine (don't drink it anyway), and continuing my health/exercise regimen. Also may use Preseed if I feel it's necessary.

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: None. Just waiting for O!

GTKY: When you got married, how long did it take you to "officially" change your last name? Why so long?: I changed it the weekend after we got back from our honeymoon which we took the week after we got married. It didn't take me long. I just needed to find the time to go to the SS office.

MommaLove6 · April 2014

Cycle/Month:5

CD:3

What you're doing to get KU:temps, drinking lots of water and trying to eat better

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: just bummed that last cycle was not a bfp. Also anxious because I have this crazy fear that since I had a c-section with DS I won't be able to conceive again because there could be too much scar tissue or whatever <-- I truly have no reason to suspect this. It's just a crazy fear that I have.

GTKY: When you got married, how long did it take you to "officially" change your last name? Why so long?: 1 week after we got back from our honeymoon. I was excited to change it!

Tabitha1331 · April 2014

Cycle/Month: 4/4

CD: 8

What you're doing to get KU: BBT, Waiting for the last of this spotting to disappear...

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: None! Joining back into the daily discussions after a week or so off. Hello, folks.

GTKY: When you got married, how long did it take you to "officially" change your last name? No way in hell I would ever change my name!

trinitrotoluene · April 2014

Cycle/Month:9

CD:43

What you're doing to get KU: temps, HIO, OPKs, prenatals, trying not to give up on this cycle just yet.

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: My alarm didn't go off this morning, so DH slept through his and woke up an hour late. His work has flexible hours, but it was still upsetting. Also, I didn't get a temperature because he woke me up, then I was helping him get ready quickly.

GTKY: When you got married, how long did it take you to "officially" change your last name? Why so long?: 1 year. I literally changed it at the last place on our 1 year anniversary. It took so long because I am lazy and dislike waiting in line.

MrsP924 · April 2014

Cycle/Month: 13th month

CD: 10

What you're doing to get KU: multivitamins, opks, temping and sex

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: woke up with a headache and feeling really emotional and sensitive today.

GTKY: When you got married, how long did it take you to "officially" change your last name? Why so long?: as soon as we got back from our honeymoon I started, took about a month to get everything changed. Although one of my store cards they keep spelling my new last name wrong and it's been almost 3 years now!

ToryKate · April 2014

Cycle/Month: 7

CD: 25

What you're doing to get KU: Temping, Sex, PNV's

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: No O yet! This is driving me crazy. For the past 6 cycles my latest 0 date was CD 21... I am a little anxious about this. And it is getting hard to have DH to finish in me. He is a "can I finish on your_____" kind of guy. And I feel bad telling him no, but I cant get pregnant through my boobs!

GTKY: When you got married, how long did it take you to "officially" change your last name? Why so long?: I haven't changed mine yet. It is SO confusing, because I was previously married and didn't go back to my maiden name until a few months before my wedding, and that was just because I didn't want my ex's last name on my marriage certificate. So I am legally my maiden name, but never got my credit cards or anything changed over. Now I have to switch to my new last name, and it is just such an ordeal!

ktkoala · April 2014

Cycle/Month: 1/4

CD: 18

What you're doing to get KU: PVNs, temping, EOD

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: This is my fault, but with the west coast travel and (lots of ) drinking, my chart is a mess. All the discarded temps and open circles really annoying this type A girl.

GTKY: When you got married, how long did it take you to "officially" change your last name? Why so long? I started the process shortly after we got back from our honeymoon and gradually changed everything. The passport took the longest, but a year later, I still find some things in my maiden name.

mahalo3 · April 2014

Cycle/Month: 4/4

CD:4

What you're doing to get KU: OPK, Temping, PNV, CM, thinking about starting to get to know CP

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: NOthing yet. Too early. I am wondering how we feel about caffeine. I see a lot of people cut back on it, but I really like my coffee. So do we think this is super important?? I also see things about green tea and POM juice. Any thoughts???

GTKY: When you got married, how long did it take you to "officially" change your last name? Why so long?: I changed it fairly quickly. About a month after we got married. We had our honeymoon, and I had to wait to get our certificate in the mail. I have yet to change on everything though (bills).

YaMrWhite · April 2014

@mahalo3 if you figure out how to track CP you let me know lol. I have been trying for months and I am stumped!

LadyXaverian · April 2014

Cycle 3

CD 15

CM, OPKs, HIO

Rants/raves etc… Nothing really. I'll move over to 2ww tomorrow, I think. I'm one of those annoying people who don't temp. I got my last +OPK yesterday (negative today) and CM is no longer fertile, so… :P

GTKY: I changed it right away. I think a week or so after getting back from our honeymoon.

GTKY: When you got married, how long did it take you to "officially" change your last name? Why so long?: We were married in October 2013. I have yet to officially change my last name. Why you ask? Because I have a badass maiden name. Who wouldn't want the last name England?

My paternal grandmother's maiden name was England. I adopted it in college as part of my pseudonym when I would meet people I didn't like. Then they couldn't stalk me lol.

pinkgsxr · April 2014

Cycle/Month: 15/13

CD: 12

What you're doing to get KU: Charting, OPKs, PNVs, having all the sex possible

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: Thinking today is O. That would give us -3,-2,-1 and hopefully we can pull off O and +1. I'm exhausted.

GTKY: When you got married, how long did it take you to "officially" change your last name? Why so long?: When we got married I had all the paperwork ready to go, and our marriage license came back within about 3 days unbelievably. And then I realized the government shutdown meant I couldn't do shit about it. I ended up changing it with SS the same day the government reopened. But I'm still finding random things in my maiden name, so I'm at 6 months and not totally done because I'm lazy.

Bennfield10 · April 2014

@mahalo3‌ some say green tea really helps with CM and POM is said to help ute lining(correct me if I'm wrong experts). I personally have found that POM has dramatically increased the amt of my EWCM the past few cycles. Even if it does "nothing" it's rich in antioxidants which is never a bad thing

Pookieson · April 2014

Cycle/Month: 6/6 AL

CD: 13

What you're doing to get KU: PNV, temping, CM EOD sex

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: I've been so busy the last couple weeks but had a free day to Bump it up! I switched to vaginal temping. It's a pain in the vagina but my temps are not nearly as erratic as they have been.

GTKY: When you got married, how long did it take you to "officially" change your last name? Why so long?: I changed my name immediately. I had to for employment and licensing reasons

YellowBag · April 2014

Cycle/Month: 13/17 (8 AL)

CD: 1

What you're doing to get KU: Nothing right now.

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: CD 1 hit me harder than normal this cycle. I think I really wanted to be knocked up before I turn 30 next week. Oh well. At least this way I can drown my sorrows about getting old in lots of tequilla.

GTKY: When you got married, how long did it take you to "officially" change your last name? Why so long? It took a few months because I was lazy. I still had a credit card with my maiden name. I also am still listed with my maiden name in my husband's phone.

mahalo3 · April 2014

@yamrwhite, I am as far as knowing when I can reach it and when I can't. I have no idea the different textures, if it's open or closed. I can't even decide if it's worth figuring out.

dreemkin84 · April 2014

Intro: I have been lurking for a few weeks and want to say hi. I'm hoping to be a bit more active on the board after this official intro, if you'll have me

My H and I are ttc #2. I had a m/c around Christmas and after a much needed mental break, we started trying again last month. I am attempting OPKs this month and hoping to get a + soon.

Cycle/Month: 3rd month ttc #2

CD: 11

What you're doing to get KU: sex, OPKs (newb), PNV, green tea

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: Three people I work with are pregnant and they weren't even trying. Enough said. Also, My DD and I have a cold and it sucks because I'm trying not to take a lot of decongestants and such. Real sexy right?!

GTKY: When you got married, how long did it take you to "officially" change your last name? Why so long?: I think a few months...I called it "The Great Name Change" and I was like a chore...yuck. I gave up on my Passport.

MrsMCBMar2014 · April 2014

@irishtheatrechic‌ I went to the Social Security Office in Trenton (Roebling Market - sane building as Childrens Home Society). All you need is your marriage license and an application for a "new" card. When you go in, you check in at a computer hub and get a #. I was in and out in 10 or so minutes. Easy peasy.

ktkoala · April 2014

@dreemkin84 welcome! I'm kindof new around here as well. Good luck to you! (In fact, I have a question - besides remembering peoples' names and hoping you spell it right, is there a better way to tag someone?)

Thanks and welcome to you too! Good question about the @ tagging. I'll be back to read others' responses.

mahalo3 · April 2014

Ok. Pom juice, green tea, And Reese's eggs purchased. I have faith the Reese's will help CP.

CrazyCupcake52 · April 2014

Cycle/Month: 11 / 17

CD: 19

What you're doing to get KU: Temping, OPKs, sex, trying to drink more water

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: Finally my OPKs are getting darker....hopefully I O within the next few days.

GTKY: When you got married, how long did it take you to "officially" change your last name? Why so long?: About 3 months to visit the SS office and then I changed my last name on all the important accounts as soon as I had my new ID. I still have my maiden name on a few things....oops.

Snickerdoodle24 · April 2014

Welcome @dreemkin84‌!

Cycle/Month: 8/10 (5AL)

CD: 9

What are you doing to get KU: PNV, OPKs, b-complex 50, lotsa sex, charting bbt and cm

Rants/Raves: Nada.

GTKY: I think it took me a month or two to change my name, mostly because I had to wait until after our honeymoon and then we had a bunch of stuff going on so it took awhile to get it done. But also because my maiden name was pretty great and I was sad to change it. My married name is a little annoying to pronounce.

letsgox · April 2014

@mahalo3‌ -- this is long, sorry in advance.

caffeine is a diuretic. It dries my CM significantly (I drink a lot of caffeine in any given day), so I am cutting back to one caffeinated green tea in the morning and the rest of the day it's decaf.

As far as CP goes, I started trying to chart it at the beginning of my cycle, just after my period. As my cycle progressed, I could feel it getting more distant. I consider low to be very easy to reach and high to be barely touched with my fingertips. It corresponds nearly perfectly to my +OPKS and EWCM. Anything else is medium.

I think FF describes firm as feeling like the tip of your nose. Soft is really spongy. Once again, anything in between is medium. HTH!

kayladawn91 · April 2014

Cycle/Month: 4

CD: 3

What you're doing to get KU: temping, charting

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: none

GTKY: When you got married, how long did it take you to "officially" change your last name? Why so long?: I think I did the official stuff pretty quickly. We've been married almost 2 years and I still have a charge card with my maiden name and I haven't changed my name on my passport. I havent used either of them since we got home from our honeymoon so I just never got around to changing them.

tyrannosaurusrox · April 2014

Cycle/Month: 3/3

CD: 9

What you're doing to get KU: OPKs, PNV, temping, the usual

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: I have never spotted this much in my life. I think it finally subsided today but still, blerg.

GTKY: When you got married, how long did it take you to "officially" change your last name? Why so long?: I've been married for over a year, and I still haven't. If/when I do, I won't drop my last name, I'll just add my husband's last name on to mine.
