Happy Monday..... wish I could muster a little more enthusiasm for that!

Cycle/Month: 2/2

CD: 14

What are you doing this month: temping, charting, OPKs, hopefully sex ED if this is really my FW....

Questions/thoughts/concerns/rants: Got what I am fairly certain was a +OPK yesterday at around 10 am. Was definitely back to negative by 7pm and again neg this morning, though that was with FMU. Now I'm overanalyzing whether I just had a short surge or if it wasn't really as positive as I thought. Also annoyed at my BBT which has given me nearly the same temp for a whole week. I think it's time for a new one. 

GTKY: What is your alcoholic drink of choice? Angry Orchard hard cider, or brandy with cherry coke

Cycle/Month: 11/10

CD: 12

What are you doing this month: More sex during my FW.

Questions/thoughts/concerns/rants: I have been feeling a bit under the weather the past few days. Doesn't it always seems like it happens right at the worst time for temps? I didn't do OPKs this cycle because I didn't get around to buying them and my CM is usually pretty reliable. Oh well, we'll just have to keep HIO.

GTKY: What is your alcoholic drink of choice? I was just talking about this yesterday actually. My favorite drink of all time is a well-made Bloody Mary. But that's not the kind of drink you can have at just any time. I like a crisp Sauvignon Blanc in the warm weather, a mellow Pinot Noir or Cabernet in the cold weather, or an ice cold draft beer (preferably a hefeweizen or a lager) if I'm at a pub.

CD:2

What are you doing this month: OPKs, temping, PNVs, sex ED during FW

Questions/thoughts/concerns/rants: Nothing. It's CD 2 and I won't O for another 3 weeks, so now it's just a long waiting game. 

GTKY: What is your alcoholic drink of choice? I drink a lot of wine but when I actually go out to a bar, and it's been awhile, I get an amaretto sour.

What are you doing this month: temping, OPKs, preseed, water, green tea

Questions/thoughts/concerns/rants: Daylight savings time is really messing with me. Yesterday and today my temps have been super high, but I'm convinced it's because I've technically been temping an hour later. Hopefully my real temp shift will still be fairly obvious.

GTKY: What is your alcoholic drink of choice? Pinot grigio

GTKY: What is your alcoholic drink of choice?

I love RUM and I am not picky either. Best rum I have ever had was Don Q, my brother got it while traveling in Puerto Rico and it was amazing. My drink of choice for nightly relaxing is usually wine.

It was hard for me to answer this question because like you I like different drinks depending on where I am at/what we are doing. A Bloody Mary was my breakfast (morning drink) in Vegas :)

Happy Monday..... wish I could muster a little more enthusiasm for that! I hear you!

Cycle/Month: 7/6

CD: 13

What are you doing this month: EOD sex, OPK, folic acid, charting, temping, green tea and preseed.

Questions/thoughts/concerns/rants: Nothing today.

 

Beegey33:

I have a question on green tea. I see so many woman are drinking it, how many of you truly believe it helps?

Here is what I think, green tea is an amazing health friendly beverage that gives me an alternative to water when trying to stay super hydrated - plusalso I really like it and have drank it my whole life. I do not think by any means that green tea has the power to offer a military escourt of DH's sperm on up to my egg.

 

GTKY: What is your alcoholic drink of choice? Like other posters have said it really depends, I like mimosa for breakfast (holidays) a ceasar for lunch and a really great glass of wine (white in the summer, red in the cooler weather) with dinner. For after dinner dirnking always always a gin and tonic.

Happy Monday....actually looking forward to the start of a new week.

Cycle/Month: 3/3

CD: 6

What are you doing this month:   EOD sex and OPKs starting this weekend since I'm not temping this cycle, more exercise, red raspberry leaf tea, more fluids in general, PNVs

Questions/thoughts/concerns/rants:   TTC related... not much. The action doesn't really start till the weekend so I'm in relaxed mode for now. Not TTC related...Looking for a good brownie recipe - I am making a batch for our neighbors as part of a "thank you" for them for letting us run an extension from their generator last week. So many good ones and they're making me hungry!! :)

GTKY: What is your alcoholic drink of choice?

A mojito, whipped cream vodka and sprite, or regular white wine (Riesling preferred) does the trick for me!

Good morning!

Cycle/Month: 11/10

CD: 9

What are you doing this month: Everything.

Questions/thoughts/concerns/rants: I alllllmost gave in to the temptation to not temp this cycle. I'm trying to hang in there for cycles 11 & 12 so I can say we did all we could for a year and just see what happens after that.

GTKY: What is your alcoholic drink of choice? It depends on my mood, honestly. Top 5: pinot grigio, pinot noir, gin&tonic, pina colada and rum&coke.

Cycle/Month:  3/4

CD:  3

What are you doing this month:  We did everything right last month but luck was not with us.  Same thing I guess but I ovulated later than I thought I would so DH was very worn out. 

Questions/thoughts/concerns/rants:  If we get pregnant this month, it will put us at an August due date which is not ideal due to the craziness of back to school and the heat.  So I won't be totally bummed if it doesn't happen but then again, I'm ready for another baby ilke yesterday.  

GTKY: What is your alcoholic drink of choice?  Margaritas!

Thanks, I love green tea but I just never thought to drink it for TTC. So it makes more sense as an alternative to hydration/water. I add a splash of cranberry juice to my water for a little bit of flavor.

Oh no! I hope you feel better! Hope everything works out and your temps go where you need them to!
