    What are you doing to GKTFU: EOD sex, temping, OPKs, lotsa water, and acupuncture

    Rants/raves/chart stalks: didn't sleep last night - waaahh

    GTKY: drankin... Nothing! I am Canadian and so no Thanksgiving for me. Unless DH and I have an impromptu drink that slips in tonight, I don't plan on drinking.

    On that note: Happy Thanksgiving (tomorrow) to everyone who is celebrating!

    Cd: 5 (following an 83 day cycle so here's hoping this one is normal)

    What are you doing to GKTFU: Nothing yet as AF is on her way out but here's my plan... sex, temping, opk's 2x/day, checking CM

    Rants/ Raves/ Chart stalks: I work in a retirement Community and the residents tend to say whatever the heck they want, meaning I get asked if i'm pregnant weekly (i'm not overly obese but i've gained weight and have a pudgy tummy).  Lately though it's not just the residents, fellow staff will ask me and it not only makes me feel fat it reminds me nope still not KU.... On another note I feel lonely with this process of TTC as I have no friends at this stage in life and it's kinda weird to discuss it with the few family members that know were trying.  These boards have helped me greatly and i'm very appreciative of that:)

    GTKY- Since tonight is suppose to be the biggest drinking night of the year, what is everyone going to be up to/ drinking tonight?!  I don't normally drink and it's not because I'm a prude or anything I've just never found anything i'm in love with taste wise and it's hard to try new stuff cause i'm super frugal and cant see spending money on a drink and then not like it... I do love pineapple rum and peach schnapps and i'll add that to my favorite brand of diet iced tea. maybe ill have some tonight once i make it home (we're supposed to have some snow here and i'm a nervous wreck when driving in bad weather)

    What are you doing to GKTFU: I have to take this month of b/c of the recent m/c, so right now I am practicing temping and charting. This is my first month doing that so I will work out the details of it this month. 

    Rants/ Raves/ Chart stalks: Bummed I have to take the month off but I guess I can focus on the holidays ( I am hosting Thanksgiving and Christmas) 

    GTKY- Since tonight is suppose to be the biggest drinking night of the year, what is everyone going to be up to/ drinking tonight?! (I say this because I'm still under 30, I know. I'm a baby.) I wish I was drinking tonight. I don't have any plans to drink but plans change! My DH has to work till midnight so its just me and DD tonight getting ready for tomorrow, so I doubt the plans will change.

    I have a major deliverable due at work today, so I am for sure planning to be drinking tonight. Probably manhattans, because that's show we roll.

    What are you doing to GKTFU: Temping/charting, EOD sex, OPKs, PreSeed, supplements

    Rants/ Raves/Chart stalks: I started a new job last week. I really like it, but I'm incredibly annoyed because the hours are way different, which makes my sleeping schedule different, which is making my chart weird. I still haven't gotten the hang of temping on this new schedule (mostly because DH comes and wakes me up to say goodbye before I've temped in the morning, and I'm concerned that talking to him might be affecting my temps). I guess there's nothing to do but wait it out and see.

    GTKY: Since tonight is suppose to be the biggest drinking night of the year, what is everyone going to be up to/ drinking tonight? Definitely not going out to the bars. Maybe picking up a bottle of wine on my way home.

    Rants/ Raves/ Chart stalks
    Quick rave: Temp spike this morning, so hoping I O'd. I will stay here until I get crosshairs or 3 high temps in a row.

    Rant: I felt the beginnings of a UTI this morning (and I am very familiar with the symptoms, because I've had many UTIs before unfortunately). It's my own fault because I didn't pee after sex the other night, I just fell asleep.  However, after showering and drinking some water this morning, the symptoms went away....hmm. I'm just debating whether to go to immediate care anyway to be on the safe side, because I know it'll be closed tomorrow. 

    GTKY- Since tonight is suppose to be the biggest drinking night of the year, what is everyone going to be up to/ drinking tonight?! (I say this because I'm still under 30, I know. I'm a baby.)
    Ahhh yes I remember the days of "Black Wednesday" and being hungover on Thanksgiving....those days are no more! If anything I will be drinking a lot of water and cranberry juice tonight (see above) or possibly a glass of wine if I feel better.
     

    @ajoywilkey  - i don't understand how people can straight up just ask, "Are you pregnant?" that's so rude!  do these people know you're trying? (not that it matters, they still shouldn't be asking) also, i feel the same way about these boards. my husband and even my couple friends who ARE TTC don't really care to know the intricacies of my chart and cervical mucus, hah, so it's good to have somewhere to vent..

    CD: 12

    What are you doing to GKTFU: We were trying for ED sex, but missed last night due to DH being too tired. Green tea (seems to be helping with the CM) and temping/charting.

    Rants/ Raves/ Chart stalks: Positive OPK this am, so DH better be in the mood. I am pretty sure O will be today or tomorrow latest, and I would really like our timing to be good this cycle. The TWW is way easier for me if we get good timing. If we can BD tonight I will be way less stressed about it. So I will be anxious and thinking about sex all day - good thing I'm not busy at work. I am also anxious about traveling tomorrow, were driving 4 hours each way to a dinner with 40 people - 12 of them kids under 12, and 6 dogs.

    GTKY:
    DH and I are cooking a lot (2 pies, butternut squash salad, and broccoli au gratin). Our tradition when we prep for holidays is to drink champagne.

    I've worked here for 3 years but my mom has worked here for 16 and they've all seen me grow up and then I got married a year ago so I think everyone expects that a baby is the next step and when they see my puddgy belly they assume and ask.  It's the worse!  How do u respond to those questions "nope but thanks for the compliment!"  I would never ask someone if they were pregnant apparently my mom just raised me better...

    Cycle: 4 CD: 2 Getting KTFU: Sex (ha), OPK, and CM, cutting back on caffeine and alcohol Rants: Spotting started the night before last but was in that annoying "is it IB?" realm, because I was early and did not have my usual punch to the uterus pain, sore boobs, fatigue, etc. BFN. But by yesterday, I was pretty darn sure it was Flo. So, I wanted one drink last night and hubby freaked the eff out. Apparently he's reading Yahoo answers or something, because I couldn't convince him that AF has arrived, even with a BFN. Finally last night I threatened to show him my used tampon, but at that point it was bedtime, anyway. So some drinky drink tonight! GTKY: I love red wines, ginger beer and spiced rum, and whiskeys. Since I'm cutting down amount and frequency, I'll probably just have a sipper of our top shelf whiskey. Optimize! @meerkatmillie‌ I think the prevalence of alcohol GTKY is due to all the stress floating around here? For food - I'd love some apple pie and vanilla bean ice cream tonight, but gotta watch my sugar.

    What are you doing to get KTFU? Temping, charting, all the sex, drinking more water 

    Rants/raves/chart stalks: I don't know if I actually go here anymore. WTF is my chart doing? FF gave me dotted crosshairs for CD10 and I don't know if I believe them because a) that's 3-4 days earlier than expected and b) the coverline it gave me is a solid half degree lower than my average. CM is all wrong for that O date too, but I put more stock in the temps. I'm wondering if I will get a much bigger rise in the next few days and see adjusted crosshairs?  (Linky in case you're interested in helping me obsess.)

    GTKY: Since tonight is suppose to be the biggest drinking night of the year, what is everyone going to be up to/drinking tonight?! 
    I didn't even have drinking plans, but I'll be doing some cooking so maybe I will have a cocktail to make the process more fun. Chocolate martini, perhaps?

    @silverandgray‌ Is there a reason the temps would be higher the last few days? I had a high temp day last week and I think it was because I slept in a sweatshirt that night.
    I can't think of anything I've done differently! We have a puffy down comforter once it gets cold, so I pretty much always sleep in a t-shirt or tank. Odd.
