What are you doing to get pregnant? All the things but tuckered out on sex and half-assing the OPKs.
Rant/rave/chart stalk? Having some EWCM but not a ton. Lower abdominal cramping as well. I'm at a total loss this cycle so I'm focusing on a plan for next!
GYKY: I would be invisible hands-down! I would be a fly on the wall all over the place!

Rant/rave/chart stalk? Nothing at the moment
GTKY: if you have any superpower, what would it be and why? teleportation. there are so many places I want to go, but I don't have unlimited time or money at the moment.

What are you doing to get pregnant? AF is GONE! Temping/charting, OPKs, lots of water, EOD sex.
Rant/rave/chart stalk? so it's time to prepare for my aggressive plan of attack this month, haha. Started OPKs today. While I know it's more than likely early, I have no real idea of when I ovulate (speculated CD12-14 from EWCM in the past.) So I'm using this month as a real learning experience with temping/charting/OPKs, etc. to get a better understanding of my cycle.
GTKY: if you have any superpower, what would it be and why? Time Traveler/Freeze Time. There are some moments worth spending a few extra moments in.

CD: 19
What are you doing to get pregnant? Temping
Rant/rave/chart stalk? Had the highest temp I've had since AF. Crossing my fingers that I O'd! Anyone want to take a look?
GTKY: if you have any superpower, what would it be and why? Mind reading. Mostly because I'm really nosy
CD: 27
What are you doing to get pregnant? Sex, BBT, OPKs, CM, PNVs
Rant/rave/chart stalk? I just got a positive OPK for the 4th day in a row, and no temp spike. I'm getting pissed.
GTKY: if you have any superpower, what would it be and why?
I wish I had all the knowledge. I wish I knew how everything works, all the answers, etc. That would be sweet!
@14whitney good luck!
@tlc35 yay!
Cycle/Month: 3
CD: 8
What are you doing to get pregnant? Right now PNVs and temping. I did start my OPKs yesterday. See below.
Rant/rave/chart stalk? I was noticing some cm early this cycle so I thought maybe I was Oing early... Nope. OPKs are negative.
GTKY: if you have any superpower, what would it be and why?
Teleportation.

What are you doing right now to GP: Temping, OPK's starting at CD10 or so
Rant/rave/chart stalk: Yesterday I looked back to 2 years ago on FF to see when I O'd after my first M/C (I got PG that cycle) and saw it was on CD18. I am hoping that I have the same luck this time after my CP and thought it was cool to see my info still there from exactly 2 years ago.
GTKY: I want ALL the powers! Hard to choose, teleportation or fly on the wall or mind reading.

What are you doing to get pregnant? digi OPK's, pre-seed, lots of sex, seeing an RE, temping/charting
Rant/rave/chart stalk? Having such a blah day that there's really nothing worthy to report.
GTKY: if you have any superpower, what would it be and why?I know I'd probably regret it, but i'd love to read minds. Or fly. Flying would be pretty cool.

What are you doing to get pregnant? All the things.
Rant/rave/chart stalk? I'm going to start my OPK early this month so I don't miss my surge again. We're going to New Hampshire for the weekend so I have to remember to pack my BBT and OPKs!
GTKY: if you have any superpower, what would it be and why? Invisiblility so I can be nosy and spy on people.
@DarcyHermione when in doubt...
@hydrangea1019 I hope you have a better day too!
@jags8 sorry for your confusing OPKs! Keep HIO and testing.

What are you doing to get pregnant? Praying O holds out for another week-ish. Pnv, sex (hopefully), OPKs, temping.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I think I'm getting some pre-O acne which is really annoying. I'm picking up some oil today to try OCM when I get home from vaca.
GTKY: another teleportation. I realized recently how I miss my friends back here in South Dakota! Too bad its a 24 hour drive...
3 failed IUI cycles

----------------------------
Flying, mind reading and teleportation - why didn't I think of all this?! Much better super powers than invisibility!
@14whitney - late O is super annoying. How does one keep up all the sex?! Ain't nobody got time for that!
@littleliverpill - enjoy Christmas in July!
@jags8 - joint @14whitney and I in "Possibly O Land" and welcome to the clusterfuck. Ugh.
@lilsneezy - NH sounds fun! Hiking the mts or headed to the lake? This reminds me I should try to head to Laconia some weekend this summer!
@DarcyHermione - FX for sexin' it up! Does a drink or two help out?

What are you doing to get pregnant? Sex , temping preseed
Rant/rave/chart stalk? Started Spotting ... I'm driving myself crazy trying to figure out why... This is the first time ever that I have had spotting mid cycle... o well
GTKY: if you have any superpower, what would it be and why?
CD: 13
What are you doing to get pregnant? sex, PNV, tracking CM, OPK's
Rant/rave/chart stalk? I got an OPK this morning that was very close to positive. I don't know what to do. Advice would be appreciated as this is my first cycle using OPK's. Should I count it as positive? Should I try another one? Should I just wait until tomorrow?
GTKY: I would like Tropical superpowers. I would like to be able to turn anything into a tropical beach.
CD: 6
What are you doing to get pregnant? lots and lots of sex - oh and Femara (CD3-7) + Preseed + OPKs starting tomorrow (CD7)
Rant/rave/chart stalk? Starting to get antsy for O!
GTKY: if you have any superpower, what would it be and why? Invisibility! Because I would do some crazy sh*t if nobody could see me.
Sillygirl85 i use the same OPKs...that one isn't positive obviously. However, on CD 11 and 12 this month, i had ones that looked like that, but they never got fully positive, and then went away. Turnsout it was a secondary LH surge. I finally got an almost-positive yesterday morning and a definite positive this morning. FX that i can confirm O in the next 48 hours.
Have you temped in a previous cycle? Do you KNOW that you normally O around day 13-15? This was my first cycle temping and using OPKs, and my second cycle off BCP, so i had no idea when i would O. That's what lead to me starting the OPKs too early (CD10). Next month i won't even start them until CD 14 probably.
Yes!! I saw you here too! We are doing great. M is hilarious, so much fun. Hope you guys are doing well too! @kateRN08
Editing to add, I changed my name from JLGrove01 when we started TTC #2.

What are you doing to get pregnant? Today I purchased my BBT from Target I am excited to use it this cycle. And waiting for AF to be gone
Rant/rave/chart stalk?
GTKY: if you have any superpower, what would it be and why? To have a clone so that I could get more accomplished in a day.
CD: 7
What are you doing to get pregnant?: I like @luvbunny 's words, we have an aggressive plan of attack for this cycle too. Isn't implemented yet as I'm having the longest period I've ever had at the moment.
Rant/rave/chart stalk? See above "longest period I've ever had"!
GTKY: if you have any superpower, what would it be and why? I'd like to have whatever I want when I want it...is that a super power? I'd like a margarita, poof margarita. I'd like to be in Spain right now, poof in Spain. I'd like to be feeling happy right now, poof happy. I'd like to be pregnant with a healthy baby, poof pregnant.

What are you doing to get pregnant? Temping, charting on FF, OPKs started yesterday (both negatives so far...thinking of using digitals starting tomorrow), Preseed, geared up for ED sex, waiting for hubs to get home and praying I don't get called in before he gets home.
Rant/rave/chart stalk? Nothing really. Hoping for a nice night at work tonight. Maybe a bathroom break and a dinner break...
GTKY: if you have any superpower, what would it be and why? I would like to be able to glamour/compel people...clearly I would use it for good...
CD: 5

Rant/rave/chart stalk? None
GTKY: if you have any superpower, what would it be and why? I want to be Dark Angel. She was a badass and I consider her a superhero. Am I the only one who remembers that show?
CD: 17
What are you doing to get pregnant? Charting temp and CM. Sexing it up.
Rant/rave/chart stalk? I was sick yesterday, so went to bed early and told DH to wake me for sex before he went to sleep. He didn't. I was a little bummed when I woke this morning with really bad cramps, but no temp spike yet, so I'm jumping him tonight.
GTKY: if you have any superpower, what would it be and why? Mind control. I want people to do what I want them to do dammit!

And we haven't had sex since Saturday and DH is at work until like 2am. Fuck. I tested earlier but my urine was a bit diluted. Hoping I don't O for another day. If I O tomorrow than we may just hit O and O+1. I wish we had sex on Tueaday or Wednesday like we planned but then...we didn't. I thought I had already O'd. Annoyed.
