Month/Cycle: 4/3

What you're doing to get KU: prenatal a, temping and charting. Will start using opks and sex eod next week.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I have had two significant temp drops on my chart... Not sure if it means anything, but my chart already looks crazy.
GTKY - Do you have any fun vacation plans for the summer? Dh's family owns a beach house at Wildwwod, NJ. We will spend a week there and a weekend at my parents condo in Brigantine. I love the beach

Possibly 11 DPO...I think FF is on crack!
What you're doing to get KU: lots of sex, charting CM and Temping
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I am not sure where I belong....can I get a chart stalk! I think O was on CD 21....however FF won't move my Crosshairs even with adding in temps over the next few days.
GTKY - Do you have any fun vacation plans for the summer?
We are hoping to go camping a few times. Other than that nothing big planned.
CD: 10
What you're doing to get KU: Starting Sex EOD tonight, fluids, temping, OPKs
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: DD woke up early this morning so I have my first open circle on my chart. Temp didn't fluctuate outside of the norm, and it was only 35 minutes early, so no biggy. I'm noticing that I have a pattern of two rising temps after every decrease.
GTKY - Do you have any fun vacation plans for the summer? Well we are leaving on a cruise next week, but I guess that doesn't count as summer plans (couldn't pass on the deal, it was to good). Not a lot going on this summer because of the oil & gas bust. DHs work is struggling to ride it out so we have to be smart with our money. Our anniversary is in November so hopefully things get better by then & we can do something fun.

What you're doing to get KU: opks, checking cm, Temping, probably some sex too
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I always get a little anxious as O possibly gets closer. DH and I don't do sex EOD. We do it when the mood strikes us and have been lucky to hit the fertile window then last couple of cycles. We do have sex on the day of my positive opk but doing it EOD just isn't happening right now. I'm hoping that we hit it again this month.
GTKY: Do you have any fun vacation plans for the summer? Going to Boston to catch a Red Sox game and also sight see and such. Maybe go to the outer banks as well if scheduled work out. I hope to get to the beach more this summer!

What you're doing to get KU: Sex EOD, Temping, OPKs, FF, CM checking, PNV & H2O
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I had a pretty large temp dip this morning {97.69 down to 97.46} so I'll be sure to have sex again tonight. On my 7th flashing happy face which is unusual for me. I've been charting/temping/OPKs for the past 6 months and never have I had this many in a row. Generally I have 2 flashing happy faces followed by my peak. I'm trying not to read too much into it & instead focusing on my temps. My temps seem to still be in line with the previous 6 months. FX I O today {or tomorrow} and start to see my thermal shift! Oh & my CM has been very light this month even though I'm beyond hydrated. Lol.
GTKY - Do you have any fun vacation plans for the summer? Possibly Spain! Either way our summer trip will be last minute.

What you're doing to get KU: a whole lot of nothing
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Raves: My foot, while still broken, doesn't need surgery! Yay! Doc says pain should subside significantly over the next few days and I should be able to walk in my new stylin' walking boot soon. Then, 4-6 weeks until I'm out of the boot. Rants: Since I can't walk yet, I'm still mostly bedridden (not good at crutches at all) and working from home. DH has to help me shower because I can't stand in it for any period of time on 1 foot and we don't have a tub in our main floor bathroom. So, that's, count 'em, 1 shower since Sunday for me. Needless to say, no sexy time even though if my cycle stays consistent, I should ovulate in the next few days. I've pretty much stopped temping though because I wake up in the middle of the night when my foot hurts and sleep's been all over the place. Wish I could hit the reset button on this cycle.
GTKY - Do you have any fun vacation plans for the summer? Going to my parent's lake house in Arkansas for Memorial Day weekend, but with my foot, I won't be able to get down the path to the dock, much less do any swimming. Going to Pensacola Beach, FL at the end of July.

What you're doing to get KU: lots of sex.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: yesterday's gif party entertainment was amazing. And I'm glad that AF has finally made her departure so that we can get back to having sex.
GTKY - Do you have any fun vacation plans for the summer? My fiance and I are taking his boys down to a diamond mine in Arkansas this summer to dig for diamonds. They are super excited about it.

GTKY - Do you have any fun vacation plans for the summer? Vacation? What's that?! DH and I have been working like crazy lately! We'd like to go on a cruise but DH runs his own business and I'm an attorney with way too many active cases right now, so we haven't had time to do anything exciting in a long time- we still haven't had an official honeymoon and we're 2 years in!! I would love to go to Hawaii one day.
Me 31 DH 41
CD: 10
What you're doing to get KU: Preparing to TTC right now. Takeing prenatals, obviously temping, OPKs, being healthy in general.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Yayyy today is when I get to start peeing on OPKs. This is my favorite part of the month. When I actually start TTC I will be rabid during TWW. Also TMI rave: This is also the best couple days for banging. Ugh. So good. No rants
GTKY - Do you have any fun vacation plans for the summer? Going to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to my family's cabin. My favorite place

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: none
GTKY - Do you have any fun vacation plans for the summer?
So far we are going to go to my parents house in Missouri but other than that, we don't have plans. We are thinking about a cruse or Hawaii, not to sure yet.
CD: 14
What you're doing to get KU: Sex, CM
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I guess this is it. CM and my guesstimates indicate O today. But due to a badly timed business trip from DH and me being pretty sick, I think our chances are slim to none for this round. I probably won't even bother to go to the TWW. Just skip three weeks already.
GTKY - Do you have any fun vacation plans for the summer? Reading about your plans makes me jealous! I want to be back in the US again! We have some local trips planned, plus a long weekend in Spain later this month. Looking forward to that!

What you're doing to get KU: Temping/ CM on FF, sex EOD, sometimes every day, prenatals
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I haven't had a cycle where I haven't O'd by day 16 in like a year, and here I am, still waiting to O on day 18. Feeling a little weird about that, but oh well. Just going to roll with it.
GTKY - Do you have any fun vacation plans for the summer? Going to Texas for DH's grandmother's b-day in about a week, and going to Birmingham for our nieces' dance recital the first weekend of June. Besides that, no specific plans. DH tends to wait until like, the Wednesday or Thursday before I have a weekend off to tell me, "Hey, I want to take you shopping in Memphis this weekend!" or "Hey, let's go rock climbing and do that distillery tour in Little Rock!" Always keeping things interesting. He's a keeper. :x
CD: 14
What you're doing to get KU: OPKs, temping, checking CM (well I have been the past like 5 days), sex EoD
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I lurked for so long before I commented on anything and now I am seriously starting to get annoyed with people that sign up and jump right in then get upset because they decided not to lurk and get the feel of the ladies before they just start acting like a doctor or the next miraculous conception.
GTKY: We have to go home to SoCal for a family wedding in July so that will be nice - but my only summer plans consist of a vacation to Wilmington, Ohio to take the Ohio Bar Exam...

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I fucking hate it when my boss busts in my office when I have the door closed without even knocking to tell me something so insignificant that I just look at her with a blank stare. I confronted her on this months ago and she acted completely shocked that I was upset. HELLO I WORK 55 HOURS A WEEK the least I can ask for is 30 min privacy to eat my lunch and get on TB. UGHHHH
GTKY - Do you have any fun vacation plans for the summer? DH and I just booked a trip to Cancun for next month. We are waiting to book flights until after AF decides or not decides to show up in a couple weeks. Luckily the resort only has a $50.00 cancellation fee

What you're doing to get KU: DH is home today/tonight from his golfing trip, so hoping to have all of the sex tonight. Also, PNVs, preseed, green tea (blech), temping, charting CM, and sometimes CP
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I feel weird saying this, but I could find my cervix this morning. I'm guessing it must be high...I didn't expect there to be THAT big of a difference between low and high, but I'm not showing signs of fertile CM so I'm going to try and check her out again later today.
GTKY - Do you have any fun vacation plans for the summer? I bought a groupon just before Christmas for a trip to the Bahamas so I think that's the only thing on our agenda for the summer, but that's enough for me
TTC #1 - Nov '14

Also, these women had to walk 7 miles to get to the spot where they delivered- and the women who wanted to get pregnant lived in a hut without food for 48 hours as a sacrifice. Because THAT is what a developing egg needs!!!!!
I have always wanted to do an Alaskan cruise!! I turn 30 in July also- what date for you? Congrats and what a way to celebrate!
