GTKY: If you had one day with absolutely zero responsibility or obligations, what would you do?

CD: 2

What are you doing to get KU? Eating healthier, cutting out weekday beer/wine, walking 10,000+ steps per day.

Rants/raves/chart stalk: Well, I'm back here. Last month was my first whole cycle temping and it was neat to see my chart develop. Going to try to be more consistent with my temp times this cycle and hopefully have better timing of sex.

GTKY: If you had one day with absolutely zero responsibility or obligations, what would you do? I would sleep a lot, read a lot, try to have a nice relaxing day with DH.

CocoBellaF · August 2015

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 12

What are you doing to get KU? BBT, PNV, checking CM and CP, OPKs

Rants/raves/chart stalk: Everything is boring right now.

GTKY: If you had one day with absolutely zero responsibility or obligations, what would you do? I would sleep in, have a fantastic brunch, stay in my PJs and snuggle with the dogs while reading a new book, drink a really good specialty coffee drink, eat dessert, get a massage and mani and pedi, go out to eat somewhere yummy for dinner.

What are you doing to get KU? Temping / Charting, EOD/ED

Rants/raves/chart stalk: Raving about the weather - it's in the mid-high 70's with lots of sun this week! It's going to be great to be outside after work this week. Rant: DH woke up this morning with a sore throat... to him it basically means the world is coming to an end. I don't think I have it in me to pretend he's really sick. Ugh, why are men such babies when it comes to having the most mild case of a cold?

GTKY: If you had one day with absolutely zero responsibility or obligations, what would you do?

I would sleep in, go to brunch, and just lay by the pool (assuming it's still Summer when this magic day happens). It would be a true relax and recharge type of day.

ShallowSeas · August 2015

Month/Cycle: 9/10

CD: 11

What are you doing to get KU? all the things and lots of sex

Rants/raves/chart stalk: My temps are so wonky this cycle. Idk whats up, I think that maybe since the weather has changed and its so cold at night that its making our bedroom colder and lowering my temps?? I have no idea $:\$

GTKY: If you had one day with absolutely zero responsibility or obligations, what would you do? I would go shopping and get my nails done.

LadyLenhart · August 2015

Month/Cycle: 12

CD: 9

What are you doing to get KU? Things. Lots of them.

Rants/raves/chart stalk: Well my temp went back up to where I think will be normal this month. Still wondering about those three days of EWCM right in the beginning of my cycle. That was odd. But we BD ED just to be safe

Hubs sure wasn't complaining, especially since it was his birthday weekend.

GTKY: If you had one day with absolutely zero responsibility or obligations, what would you do? I would sleep in, snuggle my pups in bed as long as I wanted, read a book while having breakfast in bed, slowly get around, go get a massage/mani/pedi/facial, go shopping for a new dress, have an awesome dinner with my hubs with a few good drinks.

CocoBellaF · August 2015

@LadyLenhart - Our GTKY days sound really similar!

m6agua · August 2015

Month/Cycle: 2/3

CD: 1

What are you doing to get KU? Waiting for AF to be done, Temp, PNV

Rants/raves/chart stalk: So I am bummed about AF but trying to stay positive. I see it as I have another cycle to drop a few more pounds to prepare my body. Other than that my temp dropped yesterday which made sense because AF was coming, but now today it jumped up again. I am thinking its because my bedroom was warmer or maybe I am getting sick.

GTKY: If you had one day with absolutely zero responsibility or obligations, what would you do? I would go fishing and sun bathing on the boat all day, I would probably bring a book along also.

FrancesGrace630 · August 2015

CD: 4

What are you doing to get KU? Waiting on AF to leave

Rants/raves/chart stalk: Nothing today.

GTKY: If you had one day with absolutely zero responsibility or obligations, what would you do? If DH was working, I would go for a long run, take a long bath, get a massage, and buy some new clothes. If DH was with me, we would sleep in, cuddle/lounge in bed, have breakfast together, then go to the shooting range.

lalalorelai · August 2015

Month/Cycle: 2/3

CD: 3

What are you doing to get KU? vitamins, temping, charting, sex EOD

Rants/raves/chart stalk: AF appears to be gone. One day of spotting, one day of regular flow, then one day of light flow? That just seems way too light to me, but I didn't have a real period while my Mirena was in so who knows.

GTKY: If you had one day with absolutely zero responsibility or obligations, what would you do? Sleep in. Cuddle with H and the dogs as long as possible. Eat a lot of good food and drink a lot of good drinks.

dixie7701 · August 2015

Month/Cycle: 8/8

CD: 27

What are you doing to get KU? all the things

Rants/raves/chart stalk: another huge temp drop today. I'm really hoping this means that AF is going to show at any time. My chart makes absolutely no sense this month.

GTKY: If you had one day with absolutely zero responsibility or obligations, what would you do? Can I have an unlimited amount of cash to spend too? Massage, hair salon, mani/pedi, shopping. NO cell phone.

gorgeousariel · August 2015

Month/Cycle: 3/2

CD: 25

What are you doing to get KU? temping, charting CM and CP, BD EOD, PNV, POM juice

Rants/raves/chart stalk: Im so glad to see a 0.6 temp dip this morning. I was getting worried that I had missed my O because of my stupid thermometer. If I had waited 25 days and missed it I would have been pissed.

GTKY: If you had one day with absolutely zero responsibility or obligations, what would you do? Sleep in and then H and I would head to the beach for an all day day drinking adventure. And end the night at a Japanese Steakhouse.

Malone24 · August 2015

Month/Cycle: 8/11

CD:11

What are you doing to get KU? The usual.

Rants/raves/chart stalk: Woke up at 5:45 a.m. for a yoga class this a.m.; so my temp is likely a little off.

GTKY: If you had one day with absolutely zero responsibility or obligations, what would you do?

Sleep in, have a big breakfast, go see a movie in the middle of the day, go for a walk, and watch t.v. or read and then back to bed!

dewdropdana · August 2015

Month/Cycle: 5/3

CD: 8

What are you doing to get KU? Trying to temp regularly, checking cm, charting, sex

Rants/raves/chart stalk: I'm mad a myself for hitting snooze and not temping at the same time every morning. I'm off by like minutes. Yesterday my thermometer went flying under the bed. I wasn't going to get up and fish that out in the dark.

GTKY: If you had one day with absolutely zero responsibility or obligations, what would you do? I would sleep in, buy whatever I wanted at the farmers market, then go refinish the table sitting in my garage. Maybe even splurge on new paint brushes or chalk paint.

calfherder · August 2015

Month/Cycle: 20/21

CD:9

What are you doing to get KU? Trying.

Rants/raves/chart stalk: Temp dropped and the bar raised a notch on the cbfm, getting close!

GTKY: If you had one day with absolutely zero responsibility or obligations, what would you do?

Go fishing ALL DAY, then have a campfire at night.

LizM61409 · August 2015

Month/Cycle: 1/2

CD: 3

What are you doing to get KU? Waiting for af to leave. This part of the cycle is kinda boring

Rants/raves/chart stalk: My 3 temps so far this month are all pretty close together, I suppose that's a good thing for pattern-spotting later on

GTKY: If you had one day with absolutely zero responsibility or obligations, what would you do? I had 7 of these days at the beach back in June. Basically every day we slept in, had a ridiculous breakfast, walked to the beach and stayed there for a few hours, walked back to the house when we wanted a/c and/or more adult beverages, did a lot of good reading, eating, drinking, etc etc. Can I go back?

mrstmoose · August 2015

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 5

What are you doing to get KU? After AF leaves, all the things and cutting back caffeine.

Rants/raves/chart stalk: I've got nothing, let's cherish this today!

GTKY: If you had one day with absolutely zero responsibility or obligations, what would you do? Ideally it would be fall and I could spend the day outside, reading, walking, shopping, etc. Have a low key day!

mandab8s · August 2015

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD: 2

What are you doing to get KU? PNV, temping, checking CM, BD EOD/ED

Rants/raves/chart stalk: disappointed with the arrival of AF yesterday, but going to try to focus on the now and be content with where I am. I think I need to try and enjoy the process a little more instead of being so anxious about it

GTKY: If you had one day with absolutely zero responsibility or obligations, what would you do? Oh man, I would lounge in my PJ's until noon and then grab a nice lunch with my DH. I would like to think I would go for a long relaxing run, followed by a mani/pedi and massage. A nice romantic dinner would be nice too

OK - this is weird. We both had 7 day LPs, and pretty much the exact same AF (Mine is gone too, I had spotting for 1-2 days, 1 day of light to medium flow and then just a tiny bit of spotting this morning. And didn't you also have it removed the beginning of July? It must be our hormones trying to regulate. I am just so confused by it since last month was really heavy with terrible cramps.

josie12367 · August 2015

-----------Question?--------------

Month/Cycle: 11/7

CD: 10

What are you doing to get KU? Charting all things, vitamins, and Metformin

Rants/raves/chart stalk: I have a question for you lovely ladies. I'm new at charting CM, but I appear to only have scant CM when it is there. Do any of you have this issue, and what do you do? AND should I check internally maybe twice a day to have the best judgement of it's quality?

GTKY: If you had one day with absolutely zero responsibility or obligations, what would you do? I would go thrift shopping all day by myself. Grab a great lunch somewhere new, and have my nails done. I am someone that craves alone time, and I have to have some each day or I go cray cray. So a day by myself would be perfection!

oandmplus1 · August 2015

Month/Cycle: 3

CD: 3

What are you doing to get KU? Waiting another 2 weeks to do much since I don't O until CD 24-25

Rants/raves/chart stalk: Not much going on there. AF was only about 24 hours long though and not very heavy, which is weird for me. I am assuming it is just my body trying to regulate my hormones. I thought maybe I was a speshul snowflake and tested today to be sure, but BFN of course.

GTKY: If you had one day with absolutely zero responsibility or obligations, what would you do? Lounge around with coffee and a good book, go see a movie by myself and get yummy takeout and wine.

Spylon · August 2015

Month/Cycle: 1/2

What are you doing to get KU? AF is finally gone, so I'll b checking CF, taking my prenatals, BDing EOD.

Rants/raves/chart stalk: My BBT arrived today, but I'm not sure if I should start temping tomorrow or wait until next cycle and start from there? Advice?

GTKY: If you had one day with absolutely zero responsibility or obligations, what would you do? The day would start at camp! We'd sleep in then have a great breakfast, followed by a super relax beach day. Then supper cooked on the campfire, then fishing till sundown, then beers around the fire.

MoonPie701 · August 2015

CD: 2

What are you doing to get KU?: Waiting for AF to leave, temping, charting CM, OPKs, pom juice.

Rants/raves/chart stalk: Nothing to report. AF is such a boring part of the cycle.

GTKY: I would go to sleep early the night before so I could wake up nice and early to make the most of the relaxing day. Make french toast and not have to do the dishes, hire a house cleaner, get a mani/pedi and a massage, go shopping, spend the rest of the day watching tv and ordering delivery for dinner.

josie12367 · August 2015

@MrsCase14

I would start temping now. You still might be able to see a temp shift, and it would get you going on a routine for temping.

Rants/Rave/Chart Stalk: Nothing to complain about here.

GTKY: @MoonPie701 I'm going to copy you, sounds like you have good tastes.

Spylon · August 2015

Thank you ladies!

What are you doing to get KU? BBT, CM, OPK

Rants/raves/chart stalk: I think its possible I O'd Sunday, even if the +OPK does't correlate. Just waiting for one more high temp to confirm! Or not. Trying to not get my hopes up.

GTKY: If you had one day with absolutely zero responsibility or obligations, what would you do?
Be lazy. Read a book, take a day nap, binge watch Netflix.

bpfeiff84 · August 2015

Month/Cycle: 14/6

CD:14

What are you doing to get KU? Everything + Metformin 2000 mg + 2.5 mg Femara on cycle days 4-8

Rants/raves/chart stalk: I am extremely frustrated right now with my irregular cycle issues. At my last appointment, my doctor indicated that she too believed that I had PCOS. I thought I had a diagnosis but now I'm not so sure. I've had my cycle day 3 blood tests done twice now and all of my hormones are within normal range. I've also had ultrasounds done on two separate occasions. I have no cysts, no enlarged ovaries, nada! Has anyone else had a diagnosis of PCOS without some of the major symptoms? I struggle with obesity and irregular cycles. I was under extreme stress for years with my old job (and I do mean EXTREME STRESS). Every time I had a break from my job, my cycle would miraculously return. Now that I've left that job, my cycles have become much more regular again.

GTKY: If you had one day with absolutely zero responsibility or obligations, what would you do? I would take my dogs and my husband somewhere where we could just go and explore. Of course, we would have to take a picnic lunch too since that would just be adorable.

bbrooke92 · August 2015

Month/Cycle: 6

CD: 12

What are you doing to get KU? charting, SEX, OPKs & has anyone ever used Conceive Plus instead of PreSeed?

Rants/raves/chart stalk: I've missed you ladies so much!!!! My life has been so crazy busy! I took some time off when AF came since there wasn't much going on. Now, I'm fixing to O any day & I'm trying to stay sane. It's a never ending cycle lol my chart will be attached below

GTKY: If you had one day with absolutely zero responsibility or obligations, what would you do? Literally nothing. Lay on the couch with no pants or bra, watch Lifetime & read a good book. DH could join but he HATES Lifetime haha

I hope y'all are all doing good!!!! Good luck to everyone WTO!!!!!!

MamaBish · August 2015

What are you doing to get KU? Temps, cm, being a crazy lady and eating pineapple core. I will report back with my findings

Rants/raves/chart stalk: pineapple core is yucky

GTKY: If you had one day with absolutely zero responsibility or obligations, what would you do?

Beach

bpfeiff84 · August 2015

@josie12367 If you're not already charting CM by doing an internal check, I definitely think that's what you need to do.

***TMI WARNING*** - I tend to check mine right after a bowel movement when possible. My obgyn told me to do this as it provides a better perspective on the CM that your body is currently producing. I check it at least once if not more daily because I like to be sure that I know what kind of fluid I'm producing.

kmd0501 · August 2015

Month/Cycle: 2/1

What are you doing to get KU? Temping, prenatals, ED/EOD

Rants/raves/chart stalk: anyone else get super excited to wake up and check their temp? After 7 days off though I'm nervous after heading back to night shift. I really hope my chart can stay someone consistent and useful.

GTKY: If you had one day with absolutely zero responsibility or obligations, what would you do? Hmm....probably go to the beach with a book and then drain my bank account at the outlets. Or, if money truly wasn't an issue, I'd hop on a plane and go someone tropical for the day.

Thank you! Yes, i've been checking internally, and after BM, but it's still sometimes hard to find any. I will start checking multiple times per day just in case.

KyCat · August 2015

@josie12367 I always check CM internally, the toilet paper method doesn't work for me. I check once right when I get up, and sometimes again later in the day but I'm not consistent on a second check.

Month/Cycle: 5/5

What are you doing to get KU? right now just waiting on AF to leave

Rants/raves/chart stalk: I haven't even temped the past two mornings. oops.

GTKY: If you had one day with absolutely zero responsibility or obligations, what would you do? Have brunch with friends, drive to the outlet malls and shop for awhile, then go hiking and end the day with a big bonfire and s'mores and drinking

Sarafuss · August 2015

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 7

What are you doing to get KU? This cycle just charting CM, OPK's and metformin. Waiting on genetic b/w results and insurance decision to see if we move forward with IVF w/ PGD or Femara and TI/IUI with my next cycle.

Rants/raves/chart stalk: Rant: I am so irritated that I am STILL spotting. Two days of spotting before CD1 so I'm on day 9 of this crap. I'm over it.

GTKY: If you had one day with absolutely zero responsibility or obligations, what would you do? I'm so boring I don't have a great answer for this! Probably sleep in, go get lunch at a favorite restaurant and get a mani/pedi.

MandyBeeSLP · August 2015

Month/Cycle: 4

CD: 2

What are you doing to get KU? Charting, etc.

Rants/raves/chart stalk: My DH and I have discussed taking this month off of TTC but I am nervous about putting us back another month. However, I really need to lose weight and would like to hit it hard next month and I don't think I need the stress of both losing weight and TTC. Has anyone else taken time off in their TTC journey? How did you make the decision?

GTKY: If you had one day with absolutely zero responsibility or obligations, what would you do? If my husband also had no obligations I would make him go on a three-day weekend trip with me. I've been wanting to take a trip to see some fall colors but I've had a hard time finding a good weekend.

ArtlessIbex · August 2015

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 16

What are you doing to get KU? All the things!

Rants/raves/chart stalk: Pretty sure I ovulated yesterday, based on temps and OPK. CM was weird this month, but I'm still fairly sure. If so, timing wasn't too bad! Waiting for two more high temps to confirm (had a temp fake-out last month, so I'm feeling overly cautious).

GTKY: If you had one day with absolutely zero responsibility or obligations, what would you do? Oh God. This sounds like a very good dream. I would go eat an enormous breakfast somewhere, then go home and take a nap. Take a walk with DH, and maybe some guilty pleasure TV watching. And sex! Afternoon sex! Then make dinner, and drink all the wine.

m6agua · August 2015

@MandyBeeSLP I have not taken any breaks as it is only my second month TTC. But I do believe there was a thread about this recently asking women if they have ever taken a break and for what reasons.

ETA: Found it https://forums.thebump.com/discussion/12614993/gtky-if-youve-ever-taken-a-break-from-ttc

WorkingOnMyNightCheese · August 2015

@MrsCase14 some women don't temp at all during AF so I'd start now.

Month/Cycle: 3

CD: 12

What are you doing to get KU? Temping, big generally healthy, charting, sex, opks, all the things.

Rants/raves/chart stalk: all good!

GTKY: If you had one day with absolutely zero responsibility or obligations, what would you do?
I second @dixie7701 but would add going out to my favorite reataraunt at the end. It's French and very expensive and when I get to go it's very special.

jhems776 · August 2015

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 13

What are you doing to get KU? Temping, OPK, CM, CP, EOD

Rants/raves/chart stalk: I got my first positive OPK today, 90% sure... The line was just a hair not as dark, but I only didn't drink water for 1.5hrs not the two hours it says. Yesterday I had a light line and the day before was a faint one. Will test again at 6pm. I am very excited, but DH and I had an argument last night and didn't 100% resolve the issue. I messaged I had a +OPK and I hope he will let it go too so we can HIO tonight.

GTKY: If you had one day with absolutely zero responsibility or obligations, what would you do? One day is too short. If only one day I would turn all phones off, drink, and eat all day by a pool.
