    What are you doing to get KU: Temping, charting, probably OPKs

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Pretty disappointed that AF showed up even though I know it takes most people more than one month. Disappointed in myself for getting excited when I know it will probably take a bit. On the bright side, it's nice to be out of the TWW and not feeling like a crazy person with the not knowing!

    GTKY: Do you play a musical instrument? If not is there one you would like to learn?
    I play the ukulele, piano, clarinet, and saxophone. I'd love to learn more stringed instruments but my hands are too small!

    What are you doing to get KU: sex EOD, CF, Temping, may start CP again this morning. Thinking about getting OPKs

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I have a cold and went to bed early last night so my temp was higher this morning, but I took it 3 times in a row and got 3 different temperature, do you think I need to replace the battery? I was very miserable in my pity party yesterday hoping today will be better.

    GTKY: Do you play a musical instrument? If not is there one you would like to learn?

    I play violin and piano, but always thought bag pipes were bad ass :-)

    What are you doing to get KU: sex as often as possible, OPKs, temping, CM, PNVs

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I keep telling myself that my chart looks like it's shifting upward. FF doesn't agree, so I'm just trying to see something that isn't there.

    GTKY: Do you play a musical instrument? If not is there one you would like to learn?
    In high school and before I played several: piano, cello, alto sax, harp, harpsichord, bassoon. I still play the piano, which I've played the longest, and own my sax, but I don't own or play the others. I would love to own a harp and cello (again.) I loved the cello.

    GTKY: Do you play a musical instrument? If not is there one you would like to learn? I played the trumpet and French horn from 3rd - 12th grade. I know how to play a few songs on the piano, and I'm trying to teach myself the guitar.

    What are you doing to get KU: All the seks.  BBT, OPKs, CM.

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Thought I O'd last week, but it turns out that I didn't.... just had a false high temp for a couple days with a slight fever from my sickness.  But last night, I got all green lights from my FF!  Positive OPK and EWCM.  I'm just excited because I wasn't getting any hits on my OPKs and I was (irrationally, at this point) worried that I would never ovulate EVERRRRRR.  So even if I don't get KU this month, I'm just thankful that it looks like I'm going to O.

    GTKY: Do you play a musical instrument? If not is there one you would like to learn?  I play (and teach) the piano and organ.  My H has a degree in Music Education and he can play many more instruments - I'm jealous of his talent!

    I think I posted on the TWW board last week since I thought I O'd, so good morning and happy Monday to everyone over here!  :)

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: same 'ol .... Not sure I should even use my bbt for this month ... Stupid thermometer! Hoping my next two temps get higher though. And it's pouring outside - I really don't want to go to work!

    GTKY: Do you play a musical instrument? If not is there one you would like to learn? I played tenor tax and piano growing up ... I wish I would have stuck with the piano longer though. Maybe I should re-learn that.

    What are you doing to get KU:  temping, will be checking CM and BD EOD

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I thought AF was finally gone so DH and got to work yesterday, but today she's back.  UGH!  Part of me is glad since it's my first month after the IUD removal and want to kind of "flush everything out" so we're good to go, but the other part of me is frustrated that it's been over a week and she's still here... Also, I'm getting some pretty wonky temps.  I'm not sure if it's me or the thermometer.  I figure if it doesn't work out this month I'll get another one and maybe some OPKs for next month.

    GTKY: Do you play a musical instrument? If not is there one you would like to learn? I grew up playing the flute.  I've always wanted to learn to play the piano!

    What are you doing to get KU: All of the things (too lazy to list)  OPKs new this month

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I hate AF, I really do.  After 4+ years with an IUD where I thought I may start a fire when removing a tampon, having a "normal" flow is strange and annoying.  Even though I know it means good things, it still annoys me.  FWP.

    GTKY: Do you play a musical instrument? If not is there one you would like to learn?  I play the piano and flute.  Hmmm, how about the guitar?  I have one, and dabbled but never had the attention span to actually learn anything besides one string songs.

    What are you doing to get KU: 
    OPKs, Temping, charting cm, the usual

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: 
    Today I am frustrated. If I had gotten a third high temp this morning I would have gotten crosshairs on CD 14, which lines up with OPK and other signs. However, I'm not sure if I should discard this mornings temp altogether because I had a very restless night of sleep, only about 4hrs sleep and right when I started temping my toddler started crying so my heart rate increased and I really woke up rather than my half-asleep usual temping. Also, my OPKs started with no line, I got a faint line that continued to get darker, and finally I had a line that was as dark as the control line. Now the lines are getting fainter but are still there. I know that is a negative but is it normal for the lines to slowly get fainter until they go away? Please stalk my chart....what do you think?

    I played violin for a very long time. I'd love to learn piano someday.

    What are you doing to get KU: tempting, checking CM. will BD EOD when fertile signs show up.

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I decided to try and set an alarm to take my temp at an ungodly hour... but I always wake up an hour or so before the alarm. So, I started setting it at 5am, woke up at 4 instead. So I set it at 4 the next time, and woke up at 3:15am.... so I feel like my temps will be off this cycle due to my sleeping patterns and not waking up at the same time..

     Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Last night I was all ready for our first BD sans condoms since I went off BC at Christmas and DH was all pissy about the a/c being out here at his parents and he went to bed grumpy at 9:30 so clearly there was no attempt at baby making...men and their moods >:(

    GTKY: Do you play a musical instrument? If not is there one you would like to learn? I played the flute in middle school. But not so much since then. I can't keep a beat for the life of me. I wish I had learned to play the violin or cello when I was younger.

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: The new TCOYF will arrive tomorrow! I browsed the book years ago, but I'm excited to read the whole thing now! I'm making some changes to my diet starting today, hoping to lose some weight... might as well get working on that while I still can! 

    GTKY: Do you play a musical instrument? If not is there one you would like to learn? I don't play any, and I'm pretty ok with that. I played clarinet when I was a kid. I also played piano, and tried to learn again when I was in college, but never really stuck to it. I tried guitar for maybe a month, but I have REALLY tiny hands and fingers and it always hurt too much for me to keep up with the practicing.

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: My mom called this morning and started bugging me about grandkids again. She was even talking names. Ugh. Bothering me about it is not going to help me conceive any faster. What do you do about that? I already let the cat out of the bag about TTC because I thought she would stop giving me lectures about how I was getting older and they were getting older... etc, etc, but I don't really think it helped. 

    GTKY: Do you play a musical instrument? If not is there one you would like to learn? I took 5 years of very unsuccessful piano lessons and played flute in 5th grade. I'm just not a musical person. I find it really interesting though that is seems like everyone who plays an instrument plays more than one, and everyone who can't wishes they could.

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I think I missed my LH surge on late CD12-CD13. Everything else is lining up beautifully, and I had a temp spike this morning; hoping it stays up. In 5 pregnancies, we've never needed more than one month to TTC, but never tried immediately post-lost either, so I'm not sure how I'm going to handle it of I fail this month.

    GTKY: Do you play a musical instrument? If not is there one you would like to learn? Nope. Sheet music all looks Greek to me. Maybe cello. I could listen to Clint Mansell and the Kronos Quartet all day.
  • @msdidonato it does look like you may have O'd yesterday. Have you tried putting the same high temp in for the next couple of days to test it? EW is possible after O, that happened to me this month.

    @AL_Twincities  I agree with you. I have gone in and put higher temps for the next several days and it gives my O for yesterday. Boo.  I was really hoping for earlier like around CD 13 or 14. We had a lot more BD around that time. But if its meant to be, it will happen. 

    Thank you for the chart stalk. Good Luck to you this month!

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: AF is still here, which is odd for me. Usually my period is only 3-5 days. I'm kinda happy I got AF though because I had a lot of random spotting in the cycle before that I though was AF and it was stressing me out. Now I'm ready to start a new cycle and make it count.

    What are you doing to get KU: having sex EOD, temping, charting and prenatals

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: so I'm on vacation in St. thomas, staying with family, and it is such a mood killer not staying in a hotel on this island. No family members have AC in their homes so the "AC" you get is from the doors and windows being open which equals being hot as hell and bugs!! Who wants to have sex when they are hot, sticky and itchy?!?!?! But at least we get to home tomorrow and get back to a normal schedule!
    And when we go back home we finally get to pick up our new puppy an Australian Shepherd! He is so adorable. We want to get a puppy all trained and well adjusted before we have a baby so we do t have to tell with two babies at same time

    GTKY: Do you play a musical instrument? If not is there one you would like to learn?
    I would have loved to learn how to at the drums. I like to believe I'm really good with air drums!
