What are you doing to get KU? Temping, opk, cm, cp, bd
Rants, raves, and chart stalks: I need a chart stalk. Thought for sure I was going to O yesterday but didn't get a temp rise this am. I am worried my stuffy nose led to mouth breathing and a low temp, but I don't have any way to know for sure. Plus we are going camping today and if I drink this weekend it will throw off my temps and possibly give me a wrong O date if I do O. Would you drink any way even if you knew it might mess up your chart and potentially give you crosshairs on the wrong day?
GTKY: if you drink, what is your favorite alcoholic beverage? If you don't drink, what's your favorite non-alcoholic beverage? I love a good beer. In summer Oberon is my favorite in Michigan.

Rants, raves, and chart stalks: AF should on her way out so time to get busy.
GTKY: if you drink, what is your favorite alcoholic beverage? If you don't drink, what's your favorite non-alcoholic beverage?
Cranberry and ameretto is my one of my favorites but we are big beer snobs and I have lots of favorite beers.

What are you doing to get KU? Charting/temping and sex. Decided to skip OPK's this month.
Rants, raves, and chart stalks: My temps this month are really even, compared to last month. It's a much neater looking chart and I kinda like it... that's all.
GTKY: if you drink, what is your favorite alcoholic beverage? If you don't drink, what's your favorite non-alcoholic beverage? CHAMPAGNE! I honestly could drink an entire bottle myself. It gives me the worst hangover though, so I have to cut back. I love the pink champagne the most. It's just so fun and bubbly!
CD: 13
What are you doing to get KU? all the things
Rants, raves, and chart stalks: pos opk today!!! Couldn't bd last night but I am jumping on dh when i get home from work today
GTKY: if you drink, what is your favorite alcoholic beverage? If you don't drink, what's your favorite non-alcoholic beverage? I like a variety but my favorite is red wine, usually cab
Even if you drink this weekend and it messes up your temps, the rest of the luteal phase should be enough of a pattern that you o'd, just might be harder to pinpoint which day. But you have other signs to help you out with that. FWIW we're going out to a nice italian place tonight and a baseball game tmw (after my pos opk today) and I will be drinking at both of those
CD: 14
What are you doing to get KU? all the things. We are actually going to be home this weekend and these next couple of days should be good for BDing. Hoping we actually get our timing right this cycle!
Rants, raves, and chart stalks: nothing special. I used to be pretty good at checking/charting CM but now that I'm using OPK's in conjunction this time around it's got me second guessing myself. I'm probably WAY overthinking it. I'm in the bathroom at work studying my CM - ugh.
GTKY: if you drink, what is your favorite alcoholic beverage? If you don't drink, what's your favorite non-alcoholic beverage? I like a simple blueberry vodka with soda water and lime. I only drink beer in the summer and that's a nice cold summer shandy!
CD: 3
What are you doing to get KU: temping and this cycle adding in charting CM and OPK.
R/R/CS: I am seriously such a bitch when AF is here. I never used to have such bad mood fluctuations but will the pressure/struggle of trying I am just loosing my patience. Calling my Dr today to see if they recommend any suppliments to help that are safe to take TTC.
GTKY: If I am drinking with the intent of getting tipsy (which is very rare-haven't been drunk in over a year) Tequila is my main man. If we are talking cocktails...anything with Malibu. As for beer I am totally a micro brew snob. My mom used to manage a brew pub so it comes from her. Usually I go for an IPA or a wheat beer.
CD: 15
What are you doing to get KU? Temping, OPKs, Sex finally
Rants, raves, and chart stalks: I got a positive OPK this morning! Unfortunately I also got a .6 temp spike. FX it goes back down because H and I haven't had sex in 5 days and I don't want to be out already. I get to go home tonight so we will have sex ED until I get cross hairs.
GTKY: if you drink, what is your favorite alcoholic beverage? If you don't drink, what's your favorite non-alcoholic beverage? A Long Island or Cranberry Vodka
@smvb53 My H is going bonkers over Pumpkinhead being out!

What are you doing to get KU? All the fun stuff
Rants, raves, and chart stalks: AF seems to be winding down, so time to get this show started!
GTKY: if you drink, what is your favorite alcoholic beverage? If you don't drink, what's your favorite non-alcoholic beverage?
I love mojitos. And margaritas. Basically, I'm a "Girl Drink" Drunk: the sweeter and fruiter, the better! I do like Schoferhoffer's grapefruit/heifenweisen (sp? I suck at spelling...) and most wines also...
Non-alcoholic drink: iced tea. NOT sweet tea (sorry, southerners, I lived for 6 years down south and just couldn't handle that sweetness...!)
ETA: I forgot important drinks.
CD: 10
What are you doing to get KU? I'm temping and reading TCOYF and TB e'ry day! Oh, and the BD a couple of times
Rants, raves, and chart stalks: I was thinking my chart would be an inverse bell curve until this morning. It's my first month temping so I'm anxiously awaiting for the O to show.
GTKY: Hendricks and gin, Moscow mule, or I'll go with beer oftentimes
CD: 2
What are you doing to get KU? Nothing while AF is here
Rants, raves, and chart stalks: so happy it's the weekend! We don't have any plans, but it'll be nice to kick back.
GTKY: if you drink, what is your favorite alcoholic beverage? If you don't drink, what's your favorite non-alcoholic beverage? Wine: I love a good cabernet, Beer: bit of a beer snob, but I love a good white or stinky German lager. Liquor: whiskey or bourbon with or without the mixer.
CD: 7
What are you doing to get KU? BD now that AF is gone, charting CM and CP, temping, PNV
Rants, raves, and chart stalks: My temps are hovering and the same temp for the past 4 days. But its during AF so maybe thats the difference.
GTKY: if you drink, what is your favorite alcoholic beverage? In the summer, I make a blackberry sangria.
CD: 9
What are you doing to get KU? charts, sex
Rants, raves, and chart stalks: I have seriously overbooked myself and I am in super stress mode today.
GTKY: if you drink, what is your favorite alcoholic beverage? If you don't drink, what's your favorite non-alcoholic beverage? I'm a whiskey and beer girl. I prefer my whiskey neat and chilled and I too am a beer snob. I prefer belgain wheat or a good german beer. My favorite right now is Revolver. It's a local brew and is amazing.

What are you doing to get KU? All the things
Rants, raves, and chart stalks: will I ever get a positive opk this month? Who knows?
GTKY: if you drink, what is your favorite alcoholic beverage? If you don't drink, what's your favorite non-alcoholic beverage? I am also kind of a beer snob. I don't have one favorite, but I love porters and stouts. Also IPAs, and sours. But sorry, @smvb53 and @WinchestertoPittsburgh I get really annoyed by pumpkin beers being out this early! I like them in the fall, but its 95 degrees here and will be for another month. Too early for pumpkin things!

What are you doing to get KU? Waiting for AF to leave and for DH to get back from a bachelor party weekend on Sunday. Plus all the other stuff.
Rants, raves, and chart stalks: Not much right now. Hoping this cycle is a little more normal than the last two and that I get some crosshairs.
GTKY: if you drink, what is your favorite alcoholic beverage? If you don't drink, what's your favorite non-alcoholic beverage? I'm a big fan of beer and wine, @maddenmm IPA and wheat beer are also my go-to's. I live for trying micro brews.
CD: 10
What are you doing to get KU? H is back in town today----so HIO even if it's not fruitful. Don't care much---OPK testing today-sunday should help me nail down O date, though it doesn't matter much because H will be gone next week.
Rants, raves, and chart stalks: See above.
GTKY: if you drink, what is your favorite alcoholic beverage? If you don't drink, what's your favorite non-alcoholic beverage? Hmmm. I lovvvvveee beer---IPAs, Grapefruit Shandy, I also love Deep Eddy Ruby Red Grapefruit Vodka (capitalization for all!).

What are you doing to get KU? Temping, cm, sex, prenatal vitamins
Rants, raves, and chart stalks: so I had a big temp spike this morning, wondering if I ovulated. I feel like it is too early in my cycle but it is my first month temping so I really don't know. Also I haven't had as much CM as last month yet. I also was a little restless the hour before I actually woke up and took my temp so maybe that is why. I have no idea.
GTKY: if you drink, what is your favorite alcoholic beverage? If you don't drink, what's your favorite non-alcoholic beverage?
I am not a big drinker so I pretty much drink water and that's it. When I do drink I like Bloody Mary's (spicier the better).

What are you doing to get KU? Not charting as many things as I wanted, but at least temping.
Rants, raves, and chart stalks: This new job has stolen all of my mental energy! I like it, but it's taking a lot of effort to learn. I'm glad I didn't O early, since we didn't even have sex until CD 11. Eventually DH stepped up and started initiating because he realized I'm just not thinking about it (also, thank god for PreSeed). I've been remembering OPKs, but at a different time each day. At least temping is easy to stick with!
GTKY: if you drink, what is your favorite alcoholic beverage? If you don't drink, what's your favorite non-alcoholic beverage? Whiskey, especially rye. Grapefruit vodka is up there on the list, and I just found a new favorite one, made right here in TX. I've also grown to appreciate margaritas a lot more since living here!

What are you doing to get KU? Sex, temping, OPK, CM
Rants, raves, and chart stalks: Ugh. Just got a positive OPK this morning, which would normally be a good thing, but this month it means that I won't O until tomorrow, which is most likely going to be too late. DH and I were only able to BD on CD12 this month, with limited/no fertile CM, and tomorrow will be CD15. Of course, the one month I need O to come on the earlier side, it comes the latest I usually get it. Par for the course these days I guess.
GTKY: I'm mostly a wine drinker over hard alcohol, but I do love a good margarita or gin cocktail. I also just got back from Hawaii where I was on a total lava flow binge!

What are you doing to get KU? All the things once AF leaves.
Rants, raves, and chart stalks: meh. Chart is doing chart things. I usually O close to day 14 or 15, but O'd late last cycle and FF is predicting late again.
GTKY: if you drink, what is your favorite alcoholic beverage? If you don't drink, what's your favorite non-alcoholic beverage? I like a good pumpkin beer, or any good beer, or good whiskey, or champagne or... non-alcoholic favorite is coffee.

GTKY: if you drink, what is your favorite alcoholic beverage? If you don't drink, what's your favorite non-alcoholic beverage?
Depends on the occasion! Casual drinking I will always choose beer. If I'm drinking to get drunk I love long islands, jack and cokes, and shots of patron!

Rants, raves, and chart stalks: Appt with the GYN went well. She thought my cycles seemed a bit disconcerting. She asked me if I wanted to wait and see what happens or do some testing. I opted for testing. In case there is something wrong, I'd like to know now before potentially wasting time. She's ordered hormonal checks that I will going for Thursday (my next day off, as bloodwork must be done before 10am). I'm hoping to finally get some answers!
I will be MIA for the next couple days. My BFF is visiting! I'm excited to see her since I only see her maybe once a year. I'll be lurking all the stuff I missed when I get back.
