What are you doing to get knocked up?: PNV, waiting for AF to subside, temping
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: AF is back with a vengeance after my 43 day cycle.
GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve? I take the train to work every morning and I hate when people sit next to me and there are other seats available.
Edit - cuz I can't do words this morning.

What are you doing to get KU: temping, PNV, ED/EOD, charting
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Super tired today, feeling happy that I can have my trenta iced coffee without feeling guilty!
GTKY: People who are rude to waiters and waitresses... I cannot stand it!!!!!
Baby #2 Due 3/7/20

What are you doing to get knocked up?: sex and started temping this month
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: LEAVING FOR DENMARK IN 12 HOURS!!!!
GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve?
Hands down people cannot follow directions/logic. I need logic and reason in my life (from adults. I teach pre-k and don't expect it from then!) and cannot understand when people just don't use logic when thinking or executing things.
I also love to debate, and I hate when people cannot follow a simple argument. Goes along with above but not simple as in education but usually simple logic in a debate like when comparing apples to apples and apples to oranges. Not a literal competitive debate but a healthy debate.
Eta:clarity
CD: 4
What are you doing to get knocked up?: We'll be doing all the things... temping, CM check, ED/EOD, charting
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Thought we had a good chance last cycle but I guess not - really happy I didn't test before the weekend as AF was a surprise last Friday. Now it's time to focus get back into the swing of things with DH.
GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve? When people don't replace the toilet paper roll after they use the last piece.
CD: 2
What are you doing to get KU: temps, opk on the way (delivery today), DH is excited for all the upcoming sexy time once AF dissipates
Rates/Raves/Chart Stalk : People CANNOT drive this morning, I swear. It's like everyone decided the rules of driving no longer apply and it's totally cool to just cut everyone off and drive in the middle of two lanes. I'm just glad I was able to have my morning coffee...
GTKY : Pet Peeve (this morning at least) is PEOPLE WHO CAN'T DRIVE!!!
CD: 5
What are you doing to get knocked up?: everything
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: really hoping I don't have to wait until ~cd26 to ovulate
GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve? People at work that heat up and eat stinky lunches. We're in an open environment so there's no way to hide it. Please leave your fish at home.
CD: 7
What are you doing to get knocked up?: all the things
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk:
Temp dropped a full degree this morning? Had to temp approx 30 minutes earlier, but still!
GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve?
People who repeatedly complain at work without trying to problem solve! I get the need to vent, but do it once and then let's figure it out.
CD: 26
What are you doing to get knocked up?: OPKs, monitoring CM and lots of baby dancing (I might start taking my bbt..)
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: I really wanted a BFP this month... I know it's not over until I get AF but I don't have much hope left :-( DH doesn't seem down at all.. Sometime I wish he wasn't always so chirpy! Show some emotion!! 8 years together and have only seen him cry twice (maybe I'm just too emotional??)
GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve? When people use the word bae! It doesn't take much more effort to keep in the second b people!
CD: 10
What are you doing to get knocked up?: all the things
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: nothing to rant or rave about right now. Finally in my fw
GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve? I have a lot of pet peeves but the ones that bother me on almost a daily basis are people who interrupt or butt into a conversation and drivers who can't seem to read road signs and try to merge last minute when a lane is ending, or tries to hurry and get out of an exit only lane.

What are you doing to get knocked up?: All the things, including HIO EOD outside my FW
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Had a bit of a meltdown last night. Not really TTC related, more life and school related, especially prompted by DS waking up flailing and screaming bloody murder at 2:30am when I was in the deepest of sleep. Trying to feng shui my brain today with Starbucks, sending school-related e-mails/phone calls, reading for school (and pleasure), and stealing extra cuddles from DS.
GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve? Micromanagers. The worst.
Good luck!
CD: 17
What are you doing to get knocked up?: All the things!
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Very happy, I have been noticing lots of EWCM and had what I think is a positive OPK this morning. Looks like the CP last month didn't messed up my cycle.
GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve? I have two: people who are loud chewer/mouth open and people who leave grocery cart in the middle of the parking lot....
Yes, the spiked temp was later than usual. Some of the feedback I had gotten previously said not to discard it, but when I do my CH disappear. My temps also seem to be going down now, so I'm not sure I'll get CH at all now if I leave the discarded temp.
I love science, but man this is frustrating!
I think your spike might be caused by temping late. In my case even 1 extra hour of sleep will result of a spike of .8ish
CD: 10
What are you doing to get knocked up?: bbt, cm, banging randomly
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk:
Meh
GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve?
Loud chewing at work, ugh!
@Sarah0985 Have an amazing time! Denmark is a beautiful country!
mrsschmity I think the alcohol probably had an effect, judging by the dip after, but it's still possible, just keep HIO and see if it stays above the cover line!
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: 16
What are you doing to get knocked up?: CM, CP, BBT, ED- all the things really. OPKs failed me again this month so I might just give them up.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: I THINK I O'd Saturday, and another high temp tomorrow should confirm it. Temps have been rocky this month, but I had a big dip and now its going back up. We'd have good timing if I did!
GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve? Slow walkers! NYC is a very pedestrian friendly city but these sidewalk zombies staring at their phones and sauntering along not looking where they're going drive me nuts. I have places to be!
*Edit for tag
CD:5
What are you doing to get knocked up?: all the things. EOD/ED
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: This is my first month TTC and I can already tell this is going to get old fast. Although I like the control temping gives me, it does make me very aware that we are trying, and how long months are.
GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve? I've been to two bust weddings this month. We had to fly to both and one had a true cash only bar, and the other had only a fruit/cheese platter for a dinner reception. Maybe I'm bitter since my wedding was still recently but we left really early at both and it made me feel bad for the couple as we were not the only ones.
CD: 12
What are you doing to get knocked up?: pnv, temp, every third day and trying for EOD.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: my temps are all over got a drop today, but I think it's some outside factor.
Anyone ever heard of gin making their temp drop vs rise?
GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve?
When people with allergies make that horrible sound in the back of their throats. I find that soooooo annoying.
CD: 15
What are you doing to get knocked up?: BBT, monitoring CM, OPKs, BD
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Had a slight dip, then BBT has been on the uptrend the last two days. Got my +OPK today, so will continue with the BD. Last month was my first using OPKs, same thing happened and my timing was off. I didn't O till CD 17, but got the dip a few days prior.
GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve? People who can't chew with their mouths closed. My MIL does this and the smacking lips drive me crazy LOL.
CD: 32
What are you doing to get knocked up?: temping, PNVs, OPKs, CM, all the sex
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: CD32 and no O. Annoyed.
GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve? People who don't use turn signals.
CD: 6
What are you doing to get knocked up?: temping, charting, sex EOD or more, vitamins
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Nothing right now.
GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve? Lateness. It's pure selfishness. You're prioritizing your time over everyone else's. Be an adult and make it to places on time.
CD: 7
What are you doing to get knocked up?: Temping, OPKs, PNV, BD now that we're home
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Massive delays on my flights to and from visiting my family this weekend, and largely incompetent employees at American/US Air. Both DH and I were in absolutely foul moods by the time we got home last night.
GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve? Employees who can't or won't do their jobs.
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD: 20..grr
What are you doing to get knocked up?: Everything. All of it.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Wet CM yesterday but CP is super low, lower than I've ever felt it. My FW was supposed to start 4 days ago according to FF but I don't think it has really started yet.
GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve? The sound of someone brushing their teeth or the sound of any brush against a hard surface. Gives me INSTANT goosebumps! Just thinking about the sound gives me shivers. Worse than nails on a chalkboard. Weird, right?
ETA: **TMI** so I wrote this based on last night's CP check...just checked now and it is high and soft! Can't check opening because I can't reach it lol. Also, maybe EWCM but DH and I DTD this morning so not sure if it is residual. But I am super excited for some O signs finally!
CD: 12
What are you doing to get knocked up?: temping and BD every other day when DH is home! He has been gone going on three weeks now but he may get to come home tonight or tomorrow! Fingers crossed he is home in my window!!! If not hopefully next month works out better!!
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: miss my husband and Hating my job because it makes me jealous!!
GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve?
Rudeness and nose picking!!
CD: 7
What are you doing to get knocked up?: Temping, PNV, starting OPKs this month, EOD
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: AF is finally gone (mostly) so that's good, but my rant is that since coming off BCP my periods are so much longer it seems. Like 1-2 days of spotting, 5 days of bleeding, then another 1-2 days of spotting. My shortest cycle was 25 days, so I think I am going to start OPKs tomorrow on CD 8 just to be safe. I have a bunch of them.
GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve? I work in a big office building with huge bathrooms. Cannot stand it when I'm the only one in the bathroom and someone comes in and takes the stall right next to me, even if there are 10 other ones open. Also people who talk on their cell phones in the bathroom.
Married: July 2015
BFP: 5/20/16 | EDD: 1/28/17 | Twin boys born 1/16/17
Thank you! Looking forward to it!!!
***Additional Question***
When traveling, is temping reliable? I just started this cycle and I've been temping at 5:55 every morning but in my own house and own bed. My temps are still a bit up and down but I believe still in the realm of average and relatively consistent. How does traveling affect it or does it at all?
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD: 15
What are you doing to get knocked up?: everything
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: I'm don't think I Oed yet which is really good for us for timing. I am on my third day of positive OPKs, but I didn't have a temp spike so maybe O is today or tomorrow.... https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/5d233c
Question TMI about CM. I have never had or at least have not recognized EWCM. Today while whipping I think it was EWCM (stretchy and kinda clear) but when I checked internally I only noticed watery CM on my fingers. Was this EWCM? Since I am in doubt what should I record it as?
GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve? I have sooo many but hearing people chew is the biggest. If DH eats when I am not I will find an excuse to not be in the room. I swear he is loud eater though.
CD: 31
WAYDTGKU: sex, temping, charting, CM
R/R/CS: Hope I O soon!
GTKY: people who play on their phone while I'm talking to them.
CD: 13
What are you doing to get knocked up?: Everything
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: DH and I have not BD yet this cycle because I was fighting a yeast infection (OWEEE) but I knocked that shit out over the weekend so ITS ON tonight (and hopefully a lot this week!).
GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve? Laziness. And also people being late.

Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD: 15
What are you doing to get knocked up?: Everything, plus EOD
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: DD has been really sick for about four days, and keeps waking me up at night. It's messing with my temps. Today and yesterday were both really high, but based on the positive OPK from yesterday morning, I think I'm going to O later than FF will say I did.
GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve? Okay, this is random and also shallow, and I apologize in advance to fans of Ed Sheeran. But when he sings "Thinking Out Loud", he can't pronounce "fall" properly. He says "People FOOL in love in mysterious ways". He does it through the whole song and it makes me absolutely blinking insane. He can say "stars", he can say "all", but "fall" causes this bizarre mispronunciation that makes me want to punch something.
CD: 10
What are you doing to get knocked up?: temping, tracking CM & CP
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: just hoping I don't have another two weeks before O.
GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve? Laziness, lateness, rudeness.
CD: 41
What are you doing to get knocked up?: Temping, EoD (ED for predicted FW), if this cycle doesn't work I was thinking of starting OPKs too
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Rant for a loooong cycle that is testing my patience (it's normal for me, but still!), but rave for the timing of it because my family was here this weekend so I got to enjoy some pumpkin beers... hello FALL!!!!
GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve? If I have to pick just one, it would be close-minded people with big mouths! I know everybody has their own opinions on everything, but for some reason, it seems like the most narrow-minded people are the ones who like to share theirs the most often!
CD: 9
What are you doing to get knocked up?: pnv, sex, temping, CM, charting
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: EWCM has started already so maybe I will O early! Still annoyed with my work schedule though because FF is not going to be happy with my erratic temps and times (yay night shifts)
GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve?
Bad drivers who make my commute so frustrating.
