WAYDTGKU: all the stuff + clomid this cycle
R/R: No sign of O coming soon except the blinking smiley face that I've seen on the OPK the past 10 mornings. Wondfos have faint to nothing line = negative
CS/Q: not yet but its early
GTKY: What three items are Always in your purse? lip gloss, hair elastic, wallet

Take a look at my blog
CD: 9
WAYDTGKU: BBT, PNV, CM
R/R: **tw loss** I'm slowly starting to feel a bit better since the bleeding has stopped, and looking forward to getting off the bench and trying again. I'm lucky that it was only a week of bleeding, and hopeful that it's a good sign that maybe my body will cooperate sooner rather than later. Wondfos are still giving me false positives, but they're lighter every day.
Speaking to my OB yesterday helped as well, even though she said she doesn't think I need repeat blood work to monitor the hCG levels. As of last Wednesday they were down to 1356 after being in the 4600 range two days previously.
CS/Q: None right now.
GTKY: Tylenol, credit cards/cash, and usually some kind of medical equipment. Currently I have an IV start kit and saline syringes. By-product of being a nurse, I guess.

SHG this morning, in like 90 min...
RR all I can think about is trying to guzzle this coffee/tea and try to poo one more time and shower up before I have to leave... Gahh! Oh! And maybe ibuprofen. And I think I was supposed to take a pg test. Lol. Hopefully between negative tests last week, AF, yesterday's u/s of an "empty sleeping bag" ute, its pretty safe to say I'm NOT ku at this point. But now I'm paranoid that I want to make sure he still sees the dominant folli there before he does the saline bc I measured at 1.81 cm yesterday, and the doctor figures Thursday's u/s will just be confirming rupture... So much pressure this feels like!
CS: temps are a hot mess so far, but idc! :)

CD: 21
WAYDTGKU: My IUD is out in 2 days! (YAY!!) I have the Ovia app. Prenatals. Nothing too in depth at the moment.
R/R: After the bitchfest post yesterday, I have nothing for this.
CS/Q: nothing at this time.
GTKY: What three items are Always in your purse?
My appointment book, migraine medicine, pens/pencils.
CD:11
WAYDTGKU: temping, opks
R/R: My daughter decided that she was going to get up and sleep on top of me at 2AM, so last night was fun.
CS/Q: Two actually - This is probably a stupid question, but I got a flashing smiley on the CB digi this morning and I've never gotten that before. How do I record that on FF? Is it high under advanced OPK?
Looking at my chart, it looks like I o'd on CD9, but that's way too early right? I usually O around CD16. And I just got a flashing smiley today....
GTKY: What three items are Always in your purse? Lotion, floss, and crayons. And 90% of the time, toddler ballet shoes because they live in my purse apparently.
CD: 11
WAYDTGKU: clomid, trigger, iui

WAYDTGKU temping, OPK, preseed
R/R: so no positive OPK again this morning. Wtf. My last positive OPK was on CD 9- my EOD is today...
CS/Q: how does fertility friend determine the coverline? Here's my chart-- let's assume today is my ovulation day.. Can someone tell me what my coverline will be? I should add that the 98.3 temp on CD 8, I got pretty drunk that night before so I'm inclined to remove it...
GTKY: What three items are Always in your purse?
1) lipstick
2) cell phone
3) eye drops (I've got really bad allergies so my eyes are always dry and red)
@Scarlett830 I'm glad you are feeling better today.
CD: 2
WAYDTGKU: Tea and vitamins until AF is gone
R/R: CD1+Monday is a real killer but I am feeling better today. Looking forward to my RE consult on Monday! My sister and I also started a weight loss challenge between the two of us... not like a competition more so to keep us accountable but we are going to add money to a pot if we gain. I have a couple lbs to lose and our brother's wedding is end of September so this will be good motivation! Aaaaand hopefully this is all good for hormones/baby making too. I cooked this weekend and meal prepped so I am feeling off to a good start.
CS/Q: Not even temping during AF
GTKY: What three items are Always in your purse? Advil, ID/credit cards and one million pens (I am a lawyer and can't help it #cliche)
@laurad75 My hair tie is always on my wrist. I really want one of those bracelets that hides them!
@LadyMillil Umbrella? Does that get heavy??
@Scarlett830 FX that it is a good sign! hugs
@BusinessWife Good luck with your SHG... please come back and tell us how it went! Also, I don't think I have ever rooted so hard for a delayed O either!!
@pretzel2plus1 I feel you on the long cycle. I almost wish there was something else to do between CD1-20. I added B6 100 mg just last cycle but I haven't noticed a difference I can attribute to it yet.
@mamashan12 I agree with @BusinessWife I don't think you O'd yet but it is most likely coming soon! If you keep the sticks you can see the progression of the lines getting darker like you would on a wondfo. I find that helps.
@Daisy621 Good luck with your scan! Hope your follies are growing nicely!
@BusinessWife GL today with all the testing!!
@mamashan12 i record that as high as well
Month/Cycle: 12/12
CD: 10
WAYDTGKU: pnv's, opks, vitamin D, coq10, green tea, preseed if needed, temping, HIO
R/R: 2nd day of flashing smiley..wondfos aren't even close but my boobs are crazy sore and I have cramps so who knows what my body is going today..plus I'm moody as hell. I feel bad for my coworkers lol. I should get my biopsy results back today since I received notification from labcorp. Hoping I'm in the clear and won't need anymore antibiotics for the endemetrisis

WAYDTGKU: temping, charting, sexing
R/R: I forgot to take my stupid temperature this morning, and my period is the heaviest I think it has ever been in my life.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What three items are Always in your purse? credit cards, hand lotion of some kind, cell phone, headphones, some kind of lipstick
CD: 23
WAYDTGKU: PNVs, BBT, checking CM, HIO EOD
R/R: WHY WON'T I OVULATE? WHY. I know that my "normal" post-partum has been cd 19-23, but I was hoping that since I'm no longer pumping and only breastfeeding once a day I would go back to my pre-baby normal of cd 19-20. Not so much. Hopefully my LP is at least getting longer, but I'd have to ovulate to have a LP so WHO KNOWS WHEN I WILL HAVE THIS INFORMATION. Basically DH and I are just sick of EOD already, and so tired, and I don't wanna anymore. Sigh.
CS/Q: I had a .1 degree rise today, but I also had one of those yesterday, and neither get me to above what I assume my CL will be, so I don't think I'm anywhere close. I had avoided OPKs this time around because I gave up on them when TTC#1, figuring I could just have sex EOD until O was confirmed and be cool. but now if I'm now KU this cycle I think I may go back to the OPKs, just so I have more of an idea of wtf is going on.
GTKY: What three items are Always in your purse? phone, credit cards/drivers license, hairbrush, sunglasses, chapstick. That is 5, but even when I scale down to my tiny "going out" purse, that's what makes the cut.
Month/Cycle: 4/3
CD: 18
WAYDTGKU: BBT, CoQ10, B Complex, OPKS, CM/CP, and HIO EOD
R/R: I am the grumpiest gus in the history of grumpy guses. Work is stupid and I hate this place. The only reason I keep showing up is because they have a pretty nice maternity leave. Oh... and because I have bills to pay. But I’m totes bouncing the eff out of here after I’m done reproducing.
CS/Q: Can people weigh in on the best way to keep your lady bits hair-free (or at least tidy?)? I normally just trim it with clippers because I hate the week after a shave. I decided last night to bring in the EOD with a nice clean shave. Brand new razor & I still am irritated down there. I’m open to any suggestions.
OH AND… I’m thinking about saving my OPKs? Or taking a picture of them? I know they are only accurate for 5 minutes or whatever, but how do you remember what it looked like the last time?
GTKY: What three items are Always in your purse? Chapstick (or 12), panty liners, and a book.
@ladymillil that’s super annoying. I had it happen with a laptop once & I had to explain to a 12 year old why the laptop he purchased with his own savings was MIA. Ughhhh.
@scarlett830 glad you are feeling better today!
@businesswife GOOD LUCK today!! & thank you for explaining the EWCM cycle yesterday. I didn’t realize it should last 6 days (average of course). That makes me happy!
@mamashan12 I don’t have an answer to your question, but my chart is a hot mess this cycle also.
@daisy621 GL today!
@tripledaggerwed95976 I don’t know the answer, but I want to! Haha. My chart is such a trainwreck & my temps are all over. I am hoping someone knows & FF can figure it out.
@BusinessWife Good luck with the HSG!
@LadyMillil UPS is the actual worst. I hope you get your package soon.
@mamashan12 Yes, I record a flashing smiley as “High” under Advanced OPK. It looks like you got a negative OPK on CD9 so I doubt you O’d then. My guess would be it’s still coming and your temp will shift higher once that happens. Also, toddler ballet shoes sound like the more adorable thing that ever was.
@tripledaggerWed95976 Summarized from TCOYF: Look for a temp that is higher than the cluster of 6 preceding temps and draw the coverline one-tenth of a degree above the highest of the cluster of 6. This is only my second cycle using FF so I’m not 100% sure if that is how it calculates it, but I imagine it’s close.
Month/Cycle: 5
CD: 17
WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, CP, PNV
R/R:
CS/Q: Temp spike today. I’m just waiting a few days to see what FF thinks was my O date. CM/CP and OPKs look like CD 15, BBT looks like CD 16. Don’t know that I really have a question, but if you have any additional insight (or ute goggles…j/k) I’d take it.
GTKY: What three items are Always in your purse? Tissues, lip gloss, headphones
@LadyMillil That is so frustrating! If it's returned to sender, what can you do now?
@Scarlett830 Sorry for your loss. I hope your body is back to normal real quick!
@BusinessWife Good luck today! We're all cheering for you. It must be standard practice to do the u/s first right? Seems crazy not to...
@pretzel2plus1 Agreeing with @BusinessWife, I have had a lot of luck adding B6, B12 and Vitamin D to help regulate my cycles. I've O'd earlier each month.
@mamashan12 Agreeing with @BusinessWife again
, I don't think you have O'd yet given you've never O'd this early before. But with EWCM, my fingers are crossed for you soon!
@tripledaggerWed95976 I have no idea where it'll give you a coverline with those fluctuating temps, but if you drop the 98.3, I would put it at 97.7 or 97.8.
Cycle/Month: 3/3
CD: 17
WAYDTGKU: Temping, CM, PNVs, vitamin D, B6, B12, CoQ10, green tea
R/R:
CS/Q: Another night I couldn't sleep and had to get up to pee, only to not fall back asleep at all, so I have another open circle, marginally higher temp when what I really need is something definitive for confirmation of O! I think I ovulated either CD15 or CD16. I was hoping to have a clearer temp today so I could know if I O'd at all. Ugh.
GTKY: My wallet, a chapstick, and my Metrocard for the subway.

R/R: IHOP is doing 1$ short stack pancakes today, so were going to do breakfast for dinner! Rant- apparently a coworker eavesdropped in on part of a conversation and has now started all kinds of drama, if she had bothered to stay for the whole conversation or ask me about it this whole mess could have been avoided. People need to mind their own business or ask if they have a question.
CS/Q: not yet
GTKY: What three items are Always in your purse? chapstick, feminine products, my car key.
@scarlett830 I'm glad your feeling better. I too may have miscellaneous medical equipment in my purse, it always freaks DH out!
@businesswife good luck today! I hope that follie stays put
@mamashan12 DS insisted on sleeping on top of me too last night. I'm not an expert chart stalker but i'm not convinced about a O on day 9... i think a day or two more of temps might give you a better idea of whats happening. I'd keep HIO

WAYDTGKU: I started drinking green tea, which is tastier than I thought it would be, I talked with DH last night and we will BD ED for 3-4 days around ovulation
R/R: A couple things today, I got to see my best friend yesterday, which was awesome because I only get to see her twice a year! We had a great time hanging out and it was so nice to vent to her about stuff and to hear about what's going on in her life. Also, I start my last full year of graduate school today. I really dread school, but I'm excited to start so I can be done with it all. I feel like I've been in school forever.
CS/Q: With my past 2 cycles I had the regular dip and spike in temps around ovulation, but my temps don't go as high as they have before and then I get another temp spike about 4 days after ovulation. FF first had my ovulation day in the first temp spike (CD 18), but then changed ovulation to the second set of temp spike (CD 22 or 23). Anyone else have this happen to them? I'm wondering if I'm missing ovulation around CD 22 because BD is always centered around CD 18, which is my usual ovulation day. Sorry if this is confusing.
GTKY: What three items are always in your purse? I have a really small purse, but I always fit Bobby pins, quarters, and a Chapstick in there.
@scarlett830 I’m glad speaking with your OB helped. It’s clear that you are working really hard to stay positive
@businesswife GL on your test this morning! Are you having a SHG or HSG? If its the HSG I took a couple of ibuprofen an hour before mine and it wasn't bad at all. Everyone is different but hopefully yours will be easy.
IDC about the digis anymore I just want to use them up and maybe a solid face will show up. Some googling I’ve done says that in a clomid cycle many women will O 7-10 days after the last dose. I took the last dose on CD 10 so I’m still in the not so weird window. The smiley is blinking bc my estrogen levels are high. I will continue with wondfo’s and switch to regular digital next cycle
@mamashan12 – yes, that’s a high under advanced OPK – this has probably been answered for you already
@daisy621 GL on the scan!
@westy99 I wax. Shaving leaves me very bumpy and irritated. In the meantime be sure to exfoliate and you can even use a skin toner to help with the irritation.
@khrun17 I got my wondfos on amazon. I bought an OPK/ HPT combo pack

R/R: Should I stay or should I go now? LOL I don’t know where to post! I think I ovulated, but no CH from FF, but my temps have been all wonky this go round. Think I might just stay here another day, hang out with you ladies!
CS/Q: Here’s my chart….any additional insight? I know I have lots of open circles, which sucks. I feel like I O’d on CD 13? Or maybe 15?
GTKY: What three items are Always in your purse?
Phone, wallet and keys (Super boring I know)
ETA: It's definitely frustrating though! I think it contributes to my crazy looking charts.
@BusinessWife Ahhh, good luck! Also I might have to talk to you about trying Ovaboost... I don't have issues with CM but I do with cycle regulation!
@tripledaggerWed95976 If today is O day your coverline will probably be around 97.7 or 97.8. Mine tends to hover around the last Pre-O temp when it's a higher one like yours is. It's hard to say for sure though because it really depends where your post O temp is as well.
Month/Cycle: (7/6) 2/2 TTCAL
CD: 17
WAYDTGKU: PNV, Coq10, BBT, CM, CP, OPKs, HIO EOD currently
R/R: I *think* things are moving in the right direction finally. I had some good EWCM this morning. Though last cycle I had good EWCM on CD18 and still didn't O until CD24. So we'll see! OPKs are still negative but if can get one to trend darker in the next day or two I'll be a happy camper.
CS/Q: Nadda
GTKY: What three items are Always in your purse?
Aside from the typical (phone, keys, wallet) I keep a brush, floss, and Tylenol (used to be Advil before TTC).

@Daisy621 Hope your scan went well!
@Saralee797 Glad your day is better than yesterday!
@doxiemoxie212 Try not to worry too much about missing a temp during AF. I know a lot of the ladies here don’t start temping until it’s over.

@laurad75 this happened to me with CBAD and Clomid. I found the regular digitals and wondfos to be more reliable. I still may use the CBAD just because I have leftovers, but probably won't buy it again.
@BusinessWife best of luck this morning!
@Daisy621 I hope your scan goes well!
@saralee797 CD1 and Monday does not sound fun. I hope today is better for you.
@BitterBetty12 FX that you see a darker OPK!
I have to go but will check back in later.
