    R/R/CS: Nothing special going on, just waiting for AF to start at this point.

    What a great question! If we pretend I can understand old English and can't catch any diseases, I'd go back to the middle ages in in general, just to talk to people and see how they lived. Especially the women. If not, I'd go waaaay back and see the dinosaurs.

    @futuremrshp - So sorry for the discouraging feelings. I can honestly say I was right there with you yesterday. I bawled for 5 hours straight. It is so comforting that your hubby was right there to comfort and support you! It makes it a little more bearable when you have someone fighting in your corner for/with you. Sounds like he had some pretty sound thoughts. Keep up the great work with the PN's and the exercise! :smile:

    @khbear Sorry about the O uncertainty... after talking with my doctor, it really makes me want to give more serious consideration to the NaPro training.  You have a person teach you 1-on-1 how to track CM, but it is so specific and the system they have down to a science, so I feel like that's maybe a legit way to track without temping.  But I haven't been completely trained in it.  I started reading this in the waiting room https://www.amazon.com/NaPro-Technology-Revolution-Unleashing-Womans/dp/0825306264
    There's also a link on how to find a NaPro teacher in your area here https://www.fertilitycare.org/ Was I also chatting about this before with you @DoctorDonna ?  Maybe you would find that link helpful?

    <b>Cycle</b>: 22 temping / 6 ntnp / 7 ttc
    <b>CD</b>: 23/10
    <b>Testing</b>: Starting to think about it, but trying to hold off.  I usually will start to get tinged CM anywhere around 10 or 11DPO, so I will be watching that like a hawk and maybe I'll test Sunday if AF is not here.  FF has my test date as Monday.
    <b>RRCS</b>: I could totally rant about DH right now... but suffice it to say, remember the GTKY about what would you change in your house?  Well, we do still just rent right now, but long story short, it started with the dog puking up a gross poopy mess onto the carpet and it ended with a trip to HD for a new front door and an ice cream sundae.  The good news is, I have a beautiful new woodgrain fiberglass front door!  The bad news is, it's not our house and there was really no need to spend all night cleaning up glass and going to the store at 9PM instead of having an early night or getting back out to the office.  :/  Too much stress around here.
    <b>GTKY</b>: This is tough.  I may have to be lame and come back to this one if I think of something later today...

    **Question in R/R/CS**

    Month/Cycle: 
    5/4 (1/1 TTCAL)

    CD/DPO: 13/3

    Timing: -3, -2, O, +1, so pretty good

    Testing: I might test Saturday even though it's 5 DPO so I can have a glass of wine guilt free (I signed up for Bright Cellars and had 4 bottles delivered to my house Monday so I want to crack them open)

    R/R/CS: So, I sort of flubbed my chart because the last 2 days my work schedule got FUBARed and I had to be in an hour early, so I used the FF Temperature Corrector to figure out what my temps would be if I woke up at my normal time.  With the original times I get open circles and no O, but with the corrected temps and times it gives me O on Monday with solid CH, which lines up with my CM and makes sense with the cramping, so I'm going with Monday, but going to keep HIO with DH EOD just in case.  I wasn't using OPKs at that point because I have had multiple 40+ day cycles, so I peed on the CBAD Wednesday and today and they were big ole negatives.  Not sure if this contradicts or confirms O on Monday.  So, my question is has anyone else used the Temperature Corrector feature?  And if so, did they find it was a good indicator of their correct O date?

    GTKY: If you could time travel to one specific year in history, what year would you choose? Selfishly, I'd travel back in time in my own life to the year I turned 11, I let mean girls being mean affect every aspect of my life and I'd sort of want the opportunity to slap myself in the face and say don't do that.  But, if it couldn't be in my own life, then probably 1532, and I'd go to England to watch Anne Boleyn's rise to power.  Anne Boleyn is my favorite historical figure.

    I managed to start the thread this morning but not actually respond until after my godawful 7:30am meeting. Which is now.  

    Month/Cycle: 
    6/6

    CD/DPO: CD26 / 12 DPO 

    Timing: Not good enough apparently.

    Testing: I was right to be a pessimist all week. Broke down and tested this morning, BFN. I feel like the universe is up somewhere in hysterics going  'Did she actually think she might be pregnant? What a loser! Hahahaha!'

    R/R/CS: Just that above. I guess I just get to enjoy the next 3 or 4 days waiting for AF. Whoopee.

    GTKY: If you could time travel to one specific year in history, what year would you choose? I can think of a million moments in history that would be amazing to witness but I think I would get so much satisfaction to going back to say... 1967 and observing my parents growing up, what my family was like back then and what living in my town was like in that era.

    @khbear of course the one cycle you don't temp, your cycle throws a curve ball. hope you get some answers soon!
    @futuremrshp Sorry you are feeling out. And don't worry about ranting to us, we totally get it!
    @businesswife We're in the same boat. I'm expecting the dread "tinged CM" anytime now. My test date per FF is also Monday.
    @mrsdramak I've never personally used the temp corrector tool, but I would be hesitant to be overly reliant on it...every woman is so different regarding how earlier/later temping times will have an impact so I don't see how it could accurately predict. Probably a good idea to keep HIO, like you said.
    @vastra do you temp? Have you gone past your typical LP? I've learned that the amount of days in your cycle does not mean as much as how long your LP is.
    @melissam090 Sorry about the BFN. :-( I always feel like an idiot after testing, too.

    Month/Cycle: 9/9

    CD/DPO: 25/10

    Timing: -2, -1, 0

    Testing: Really don't think I'll need to--PMS symptoms galore

    R/R/CS: Ugh, I'm not even gonna say anything.

    GTKY: If you could time travel to one specific year in history, what year would you choose? Gah, I don't know. I'm gonna go with @khbear and say it would be interesting to see life in an ancient civilization. That being said, I probably wouldn't want to stay too long!

    @MelissaM090 I was sorta thinking late 60's too... my folks were very different ages though at a really turbulent and changing time.  My dad was already a bigtime activist.  Maybe see my dad in action at the rallies and hear MLK Jr. speak live, I bet would be incredible.

    @BusinessWife - I am becoming very interested in NaPro training, too. Since I'm apparently having issues conceiving and I would at least try to see a NaPro doc in the future. The only thing that weirds me out is I would have to do long distance teaching because there aren't any instructors in my area, and that feels awkward. I don't think DH really wants to know a whole lot about CM, either. I'm sorry you had puppy and housing stress!

    @GrabberBlue2010 - They met on a blind date and my grandfather was so taken with her he sent her love letters until she agreed to see him again. My grandpa was such a romantic back in the day!

    @MelissaM090 - I'm sorry for the BFN. <3

    @felix08 - I know right? That's totally how I feel. A month off from temping definitely helped me out with stress and honestly rebooted my sex life a little, but I've like a calendar with my cycle up until now. I figured, oh yeah no problem, I O on the last day of fertile CM and it is pretty much always CD 13. Then this month happens and I've clearly not ovulated when I thought I had! Ah well. It will come when it comes. And about ancient civilizations - I didn't think too much into it when I posted, but considering all the diseases probably running around, I wouldn't want to stay too long, either!

    R/R/CS: Expecting AF today or tomorrow. Got the usual symptoms and my temp took a nose dive below the cover line today. Moving on Saturday and all my tests are officially packed up. I am starting to really stress out by how far behind we are with our packing. So, my mom is on her way driving 4 hours to our house today to watch DD and help. She will be here through Saturday and will watch DD while we load up and drive. I love my mom! I was like, I am feeling stressed out and bad because all I am doing is yelling at DD for getting in the way. She was like, I am leaving tomorrow at 6am! Moms are the best. I was feeling sad about moving, but I have definitely reached the point where I just hate and resent everything because I am so sick of this, so I am ready to be out and done because anything is better than packing. 

    GTKY: If you could time travel to one specific year in history, what year would you choose?
    I love history, so there are so many things I would want to see. I would probably have to pick something really hard to witness, because those things make the biggest impact. So, something like WWII or the civil rights movement or the Revolutionary War. Learning about things like that really make you appreciate your life and the sacrifices others have made through history. So, I would pick something really sad and horrible. Weird? Maybe.

    @futuremrshp Oh boy, I feel those feelings! I'm 33 and often lament about not starting sooner, especially since we thought about it pretty seriously when I was 29/30. But honestly...I just don't think I could have been really ready then, you know? I don't think it could have been any other way. Wishing you peace in this frustrating process.  <3

    @felix08 Ah, good to know! I tried temping exactly five days last month. I travel for work 2-3 days a week, and I was either waking up at bananas times, or just forgetting to bring my bbt with me. If this isn't the month, I should probably try to be more diligent with it next month ( maybe start by gluing the thing to my travel bag). And yeah, looking at it, I guess this is the long end of a normal LP for me. So we'll see if AF shows up. Thanks!

    @PepperAT I have the VIP, so I assume it's a VIP feature.  I haven't seen it in the app, but if your on the browser you go to Data at the top and it's under "Cycle Data Entry."  I agree it's a dangerous tool, but I'm not sure it's any more/less accurate then temping at the wrong time, so I am trying it (only because all my other O symptoms line up with the corrected temps).

    That's a good one! I'm having a tough time thinking of something.  I kind of would really like to see how the first humans lived.  Like all the way back to the beginning of humanity, and see what is still the same then and now, like what is a real connection we all have as human beings, if that makes any sense.  Were they just as jealous? Or romantic?  Were they scandalous?  Did they have a moral code? Stuff like that.
