WAYDTGKU: Sex / OPKs / PNV (although I have been slacking on taking them a couple times)
R/R: Rant: It's Monday and I have my weekly conference call at work (ugh). Rave: I got a + opk yesterday so I am going to buy more OPKs and I am going to test again today after work and see if I get another + or not. That way I might have a better idea of how long my surge is. If I don't get another + then I will most likely move to TWW.
CS/Q: None
GTKY: What one embarrassing moment would you wipe from history? Mine is from 7th or 8th grade. We were outside for recess and AF decided to come during recess. When I was that age, AF came with a vengeance the first day so my pants were bloody in a matter of a few minutes my whole class knew I had got AF and my dad had to bring me new pants. Not too bad now but back then I thought the world was going to end and I was glad I didn't have to go to school for a couple days due to the weekend.

WAYDTGKU: Sex ED/EOD, PNV, green tea
R/R: Rave - had a wonderful weekend with H and we did a crazy sesh at the gym on Sunday. My abs are sore but in a good way. Will chill out a bit as enter FW - don't want to be too exhausted for BD
CS/Q: None
GTKY: What one embarrassing moment would you wipe from history? When I was about 15 I got really drunk on my friend's home-brew and acted like a right clown, trying to kiss everyone and throwing up on his carpet. I would very much like it if there was some sort of collective amnesia over that night (it still gets brought up even though it was 12 years ago ugh)
WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPK, CM, CP, CoQ10, magnesium, B complex, Preseed
R/R: We have DTD 6 times in 9 days. I am pretty sore, even with using Preseed. We have both been tired and a little worried about DH finishing, so there has been little to no getting me warmed up. Gotta change that. I am sooo tired from this weekend and of course this week is jam-packed.
CS/Q: nope, still no temp rise and very little to no EWCM; I'm hoping this isn't a long cycle because I don't know if I can handle two more weeks of this! Haha
GTKY: What one embarrassing moment would you wipe from history?
I started falling down the stairs while entering at my friend's wedding this summer. I was a bridesmaid and warned my groomsman partner to take it slow since my dress was long and feet were sweaty. He didn't listen, but he did help catch me before I really fell. People were really good about it and no one mentioned it.
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
@SaphireSweetie88 FX you O'd @TinyTurtle I also had some pretty embarrassing moments drinking at a young age. Ugh. It's the worst! @NYTino24 can you switch to just EOD? It's just as effective. Might cut down on the soreness. What are your OPKs saying?
Will add the rest went I am not mobile! I also need to get ready for work!

@JuneRoseRuby it has almost been EOD, but my OPKs have been nearly positive for 5 days now since CD 8. I had some cramping and thought it was a UTI or ovulation, so I started testing. I'm paranoid since I ovulated on CD 15 last cycle when I'm normally on CD20 or beyond.

CS/Q: yesterday somebody mentioned using bromelain. I googled it but can anyone tell me more? (What brand they use, opinions on it, etc)
GTKY: What one embarrassing moment would you wipe from history? When H & I first started dating, we went to Halloween Horror nights. We were walking through a scare zone and holding hands when this drink guy wasn't focusing and plowed into me. Like stepped on my foot, knocked me flat on my back. I was so embarrassed. Luckily H just picked me up and we kept going. If he had made a big deal of it, I would have been even more embarrassed. Now we like to joke that since I like football, that was my one chance at seeing what it feels like to be tackled.
WAYDTGKU: nothing. Hahahaha just kidding. Im doing all the usual things.
R/R: it's Monday...but next week is midterm break here...5 more days!!
CS/Q: nope.
GTKY: What one embarrassing moment would you wipe from history? I had a crysh on a guy in grade 9 and he held the door open for my friend and I to go through. She went through like a normal person and I opened the other door (they were in pairs) and literally ran down the hall as fast as I could.

Trying to keep up a little better today! Dang work getting in the way of my bump time!
@sapphiresweetie88 yay for another +opk! It's always good to know how long your surge is. Good luck in your first tww! Also, starting your period in front of everyone in middle school is definitely traumatizing. Middle schoolers can be so cruel! @TinyTurtle I'm jealous of your great weekend with DH. Sometimes those are so refreshing! @NYTino24 Boo for being sore! But that's a good amount of BDing. It's so mental for women. I have a hard time getting warmed up too. DH and I often have to have the "women are diesels/men are gasoline" talk. Fx you can find something that works for y'all so that it's easier to get warmed up! One of my biggest fears has always been falling in front of a group of people. Ugh! @purplg8r my wipe from history moment is similar! How rude of that drink guy... but... yay for H coming to your rescue @Buthayna FX the next 5 days fly by for you! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WAYDTGKU: Just temping and PNVs. I'll start OPKs in a few days.
R/R: Rave: AF is finally gone. I had a super quiet (unusually so) weekend at work and it was amazing. DS slept through the night last night. Rant: DS has an ENT appointment this afternoon and they always take SO long. DH leaves for the week for work this morning. I'm starting to hate his new job.
CS/Q: Nope! Just trying to decide when to start OPKs this cycle. I started at CD 10 last cycle but with my irregular cycles I didn't O until CD32 and I hate to use that many OPKs even if they are wondfos.
GTKY: What one embarrassing moment would you wipe from history? On (my now) H and my first date, we went ice skating. I wasn't the best at it, but wasn't horrible either. He played ice hockey when he was younger so he was really good. Things were going well when I hit a big hole in the ice and somehow managed to fall flat on my back. I knocked my head so hard I thought I either cracked my head or the ice, for real. He helped me up and I started laughing hysterically. I sounded like an idiot but it was literally the only thing that kept me from crying hysterically. It hurt SO bad. I can't believe I didn't have a concussion.
@Buthayna I wish we could all do nothing to get KU! This is exhausting.

R/R: I'm feeling pretty relaxed so far this month regarding TTC, relatively speaking. It's still early but there are a lot of things I could be worrying about - I'm supposed to be out of town during FW and last cycle's LP was only 9-10 days. But so far I'm doing okay.
CS/Q: Do you all normally O at the same time (ish) every month?
GTKY: What one embarrassing moment would you wipe from history? I broke my leg in college pretty much because I had been drinking and slipped, which twisted my leg underneath me enough to actually break it. I'm so sick of hearing it from all my friends AND my parents.

WAYDTGKU: Metformin & Levothyroxine, BBT, OPKs, Progesterone after O
R/R: I've had watery or EWCM by CD 18 for the last 3 cycles, which after crazy PCOS cycles I believe have come out as my underlying normal. None today. This is our first shot at trying in now 4 months and I'm trying not to get discouraged about this being a long or no-O cycle. I'll keep drinking all of the green tea just in case.
CS/Q: Nothing to see.
GTKY: What one embarrassing moment would you wipe from history? I had a classic run-and-fall in front of a crush at school in 6th grade. I'd less like to wipe that particular moment from history and more like to wipe my attempt at a recovery.

GTKY: What one embarrassing moment would you wipe from history? At work when I first started at my old job, my coworker was talking about her new baby at home and about his adorable dimples, and she asked what causes dimples, and me, being a scientific freak, I answered honestly and said that it is a defect in the muscle where it doesn't contract and that's why when the other muscle surrounding it contracts, it causes a dimple. Then everyone around me turned and stared at me and another coworker said "they are kisses from an angle above" and every said awww yeah I like that answer better. I died. I cried all weekend feeling so terrible about my answer that when I came back to work on Monday I sincerely apologized to the coworker, but she said she had already forgotten about it. This was 6 years ago and I still can't let it go.
@NYTino24 ugh wow yeah that many days of positive OPKs would make me feel like I needed to HIO too! Can't feel like you missed that window! @Buthayna I think we all have done that!! @GeorgiaWife6912 ugh, sorry you're hating your new job. That's so hard to dislike where you work and have to go there everyday. @hartmich I thought I O'd about the same day each month, CD17, but my LP has been changing recently, so I am not sure anymore. I am going to take OPK's longer than I usually do to see if I am just surging longer that I realize, and I also added temping (which I can't believe I hadn't been doing for 10 months!) I never realized how much information it gave you! Ugh. wasted time!

@hartmich I'm glad you are able to stay relaxed! I know it can be so hard! Fx you are able to stay this way! I definitely don't O at the same time each month. I have ridiculously irregular cycles (31-46 days) so it's always a guessing game. That leg break sounds super painful. I hate when people don't let you live things down. It could have happened to anyone! Heck, I've broken bones completely sober! @mylove071407 TWD! OMG. And that's all I will say. @virginiaham Hopefully your CM shows up soon! I can totally understand your worry of late O/long cycle. I have the same problem and had to wait until cd32 last cycle, all the while thinking that I was going to have an annovulatory cycle. Hugs! @JuneRoseRuby glad you are feeling better today! Your answer totally sounds like one I would give. I am notorious for not saying the right thing at the right time. It's actually DHs new job I am hating. He is gone all week and I hate being at home without him! Plus, it is going to throw a definite wrench in this whole ttc thing.

CS/Q: this is my usual O day, and I have yet to get a positive smiley on digital opk's... I'm worried I missed the smiley period, or maybe I am just late o'ING this month. I took my last non digital one last night and it was pretty dark, but not positive. (I didnt get a true pos. Last month either, thats why i bought digitals, i thought i was doing something wrong) Anyhow... I'll keep temping and testing and hio but I'm getting anxious that I'm doing something wrong or I missed something?! Not really a question but maybe some guidance here?

@hartmich I'm somewhat irregular. Here is my list. PSA you can find yours on FF by clicking Chart Overlay and 2 - Chart Selection.
You can also find it under analysis-->cycle statistics. I'm not sure if it's a VIP-only function but it lists cycle length, O, & LP for each cycle and lets you choose which cycles you want to include in the stats for average length/O/LP.

R/R: I currently am not temping, but I really want to. However, I know that if I bring it up to DH he is going to get all "Too much! Too Scary", get freaked out, and then I am going to get pissed off. Yes, having a child will be a change, it can be scary. I am nervous too, but I am also scared that it may not happen and I will end up spending the rest of my life feeling like I am missing something. He may feel like it is too much, but I feel like I am not doing enough.
Sorry for the random rambling, been crazy emotional/frustrated the past few days. Thank you for allowing me to vent.
CS/Q: no thanks
GTKY: What one embarrassing moment would you wipe from history? When I was younger my cousin managed to convince me to go with him to a haunted house. I CAN NOT handle haunted houses and the whole jump-out scare thing. Well, we reached one part where there was a really dark room with strobe lights, and of course something jumps out at me and I freak and try to run out of the room....and straight into a wall. They actually had to pause everything and turn on the lights because I managed to hit so hard that my nose started to bleed. Needless to say I never went to a haunted house again after that.
@SaphireSweetie88, I had the same issue in middle school/highschool. I kept a change of clothes in my locker.

CS/Q: @hartmich, This is only my second cycle since having Mirena removed so I don't have much of a baseline, but prior to DS I did. I always got a "twinge" in which ever ovary was releasing and increased EWCM. I always O'd on CD 14, mid-afternoon (I was TTC, so I paid close attention). My first month off Mirena I did the same thing. Tomorrow is CD 14, so I'll see if the pattern holds.
GTKY: When I was in Kindergarten, I had broken my leg and had a plaster cast from the tip of toes to my hip. I had to use the bathroom, and the teacher made me wait till we got done with the lesson she was on. By then I REALLY had to pee, and was hurrying. I got off balance because of the cast, and fell and peed myself in front of several of my classmates. I got into the bathroom and locked the door and refused to come out. My teacher had to call my Grandma to bring me dry clothes and talk me out of the bathroom.
@Pinky917 I pick and choose what I tell my H I am doing. I don't let on to everything because I know he would think that I am losing my mind. Even though I am losing my mind, I like to think I'm keeping it together
@wvrn1216 Ugh what an embarrassing story! I hope your teacher felt terrible, I'm sure she did! My mom had a similar story of a friend. Her friend told the teacher in 7th grade that she needed to use the bathroom and the teacher refused and she ended up peeing her pants in her seat in the classroom. The teacher got in major trouble and for the rest of the year, that student never needed a reason to leave the classroom.

CS/Q: No questions right now.
GTKY: What one embarrassing moment would you wipe from history? Basically I would like to wipe my whole drunk portion of my cousin's wedding from history. That would be great.
WAYDTGKU: Nothing, just waiting for one more temp to confirm O.

CS/Q: My chart is a complete hot mess. Of course the only three temps that really matter are over the weekend when I am drinking. UGH. I hope FF still gives me CH tomorrow.
GTKY: What one embarrassing moment would you wipe from history? Oh I have plenty of falling down stories but probably the worst was falling down the steps at a fraternity party. The staircase literally led into the party and everyone saw.
WAYDTGKU: Temping, CP, CM, CBAD, Preseed, HIO ED during FW
R/R: Rant: Harry Potter festival this weekend was a bust. Way too many people, not enough parking or infrastructure. Rave: The fall leaves are beautiful right now.
CS/Q: No.
GTKY: What one embarrassing moment would you wipe from history? That awkward time when I sneeze-farted in class (and the follow up a few weeks later)...
@Saralee797 Frat parties are the worst. I tore a pair of jeans right down the butt crack at a frat party. It was awful.
hartmich. I usually O around the same day each cycle: either CD 18 or 19. However, I Oed on CD 11 in July.
R/R: Yesterday DH and I talked and decided that if it doesn't happen this cycle we will prevent until after January. I have some travel for work in July, and DH could come with me and we could make a vacation out of it. I've also been asked to be a bridesmaid in a close friends wedding in August. Originally I was going to keep trying regardless and wouldn't put my life on hold for a wedding, but combined with the trip I'm thinking it's easier just to hold off and try for a September/October baby. I guess we will see if we feel the same way in a month but that is the plan as of now.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: What one embarrassing moment would you wipe from history? I can't think of anything specific right now.. probably some nights I drank too much when I was a bit younger!
R/R:
Thank you all for the birthday wishes on Friday! I had a wonderful time
celebrating with family and friends this weekend. Plus, a post-birthday cupcake
for breakfast today made Monday morning seem a lot less terrible.
CS/Q: Based on opks, I think O was
yesterday or today (line started to fade this morning). That means if my cycle
stays similar to in the past, my LP will only be 10 days. I know that is on the
short side of normal, so I wondered if any of you have talked to your doctor
about that issue? I’m not sure if I should be concerned or if there is
something I should be doing to lengthen it.
GTKY: What one embarrassing moment would you

I had some friends over
while house-sitting in high school. I was on my period and their dog got in the
trash and decided to parade my tampons around the living room while my friends
were over. Totally freaked out the guys in the group and left me mortified!
@SaphireSweetie88 Yesterday
was + opk day for me too! Always nice when it falls on a weekend.
@hartmich I have a short LP
too and I’m trying to decide how freaked out I should be about it. I’ve only
been tracking about 4 months, but I do tend to turn opks between CD 12-14 each
month.
@JuneRoseRuby I love that
you knew the real reason babies have dimples! If it was me, I probably would
have just been impressed.
@Pinky917 I think my DH
would have a hard time with temping too which is why I don’t do it yet. I’ve
decided I’ll give us 4 months without and then I’ll bring it up to him if we’re
still trying.
@hupp0013 what is the purpose of the whole fats dairy? Any time the kids sleep through the night it's a good morning! (or at least a good start haha) @Saralee797 That sounds like so much fun! Fx for CHs tomorrow! Falling "into" a frat party would be awful! Hopefully you were able to play it off as having too much to drink! @lboalboh A Harry Potter festival sounds awesome! Boo for not so much @CrystalPDX I'm sorry you will have to TTA for a few cycles. But it does sound like you and your H are in a good place about it! I'm sure y'all will have an awesome time on your work trip/vacation! @pepper16 Good luck in tww! @abjm0325 I had a dog that got into our trash when AF was in town if I (or someone else) forgot to shut the door. It was awful. Why are dogs attracted to that?!

@abjm0325I have read that you want your LP to be at least 10 days. I'm just hoping my last cycle was a fluke. Have you thought about temping so you can confirm the length of your LP?
WAYDTGKU: Just sex for this month trying a relaxed approach (as far as my husband knows lol) In reality EVERYTHING
R/R: These dang ads that keep popping up on the bump are driving me insane! I am already bumping at work which is probably a NO/NO and then I forget the sound is on and some guys starts talking super loud through my computer in front of 5 patients!

Do you turn an OPK fully +? if so maybe hold off a bit until they turn truly positive? I get excited too when they are close but close does not mean positive. @GeorgiaWife6912 LOL women are diesels! that is a great description. I would still start around CD10 since your cycles are irregular. Glad DS slept better for you. @hartmich I am generally fairly consistent with CD15/16 O but I did have a CD18 recently @virginiaham welcome, sorry your back @nelbetron just keep testing, have you ever turned an OPK fully +? if not you may be one of those women for whom the darkest line is your pos. You may also just be Oing later this cycle @Pinky917 can you temp without telling your husband? Not hiding it but maybe not bringing it up unless he asks? you could also explain that since you guys are at/nearing the half year mark you would like to be a bit more proactive... @saralee797 One more high temp and I bet you'll get CH

TTC 1/2012 Diagnosed : unexplained infertility 6 rounds of IUI and a MC 2/2014, rainbow twins 4/2015 TTC #3 5/2016 Restarted Fertility tx IUI 2 rounds, baby girl 12/17
@bswishe4 There is a little arrow in the corner of the pop up ad that you can click that says something along the lines of "don't show anymore video ads." Try that!
@purplg8r I've been taking the pineapple and papaya extract from Trader Joe's. Allegedly, it helps with implantation, but you don't want to take it too early or it can screw with your PH balance and you don't want to take it too late or it can prevent stickiness. I'm doing one with breakfast (along with my other vitamins) the first five DPOs. (I also accidentally took it the morning of O, but I'm hoping it's fine.)

R/R: So, I still have not O'ed. Both types of ovulation tests and my temps confirm this. The latest I have ever O'ed was day 18, so I guess we will see on Wednesday.
CS/Q: None
GTKY: What one embarrassing moment would you wipe from history? Pretty much all of high school.
@hartmich I have thought about temping, but I haven’t pulled
the trigger yet. I’m guessing my DH wouldn’t be too excited about it, but I
think if nothing has happened by Christmas I’ll tell him to suck it up.
R/R:
Rant: FF tried to give me CHs for CD9. For comparison sake, last cycle I O'd on CD 27. Now, I did have a CP so anything is possible, but I had only stopped spotting on CD8, and I of course didn't start any OPKs until CD 10, which was negative. After yesterday's temp, which dropped below CL, it took away the CHs, and weirdly today, following another even lower temperature, gave them back. I'm confident that the higher temps were due to sickness and that FF will take away the CHs again as more temps are inputted this week, but I was so confused this weekend and thought we'd missed an entire cycle because we had no timing. Get it together, body!
CS/Q: No.
GTKY: What one
embarrassing moment would you wipe from history? I'm sure there are so many but nothing is coming to mind today.
@wabash15 DH and I get up at the same time for work each morning, so it would be difficult for me to start without him wondering what was going on. I really think that if I end up reaching the December mark I am going to have to sit him down and discuss things. In the mean time, I think I may need to supply him with some reading material, because I think he just really does not fully get how small of a timeframe I really have and how important the right timing really is.

GTKY: What one embarrassing moment would you wipe from history? Mine is from 7th or 8th grade. We were outside for recess and AF decided to come during recess. When I was that age, AF came with a vengeance the first day so my pants were bloody in a matter of a few minutes my whole class knew I had got AF and my dad had to bring me new pants. Not too bad now but back then I thought the world was going to end and I was glad I didn't have to go to school for a couple days due to the weekend.

I started falling down the stairs while entering at my friend's wedding this summer. I was a bridesmaid and warned my groomsman partner to take it slow since my dress was long and feet were sweaty. He didn't listen, but he did help catch me before I really fell. People were really good about it and no one mentioned it.

@sapphiresweetie88 yay for another +opk! It's always good to know how long your surge is. Good luck in your first tww! Also, starting your period in front of everyone in middle school is definitely traumatizing. Middle schoolers can be so cruel!
@TinyTurtle I'm jealous of your great weekend with DH. Sometimes those are so refreshing!
@NYTino24 Boo for being sore! But that's a good amount of BDing. It's so mental for women. I have a hard time getting warmed up too.

GTKY: What one embarrassing moment would you wipe from history? On (my now) H and my first date, we went ice skating. I wasn't the best at it, but wasn't horrible either. He played ice hockey when he was younger so he was really good. Things were going well when I hit a big hole in the ice and somehow managed to fall flat on my back. I knocked my head so hard I thought I either cracked my head or the ice, for real. He helped me up and I started laughing hysterically. I sounded like an idiot but it was literally the only thing that kept me from crying hysterically. It hurt SO bad. I can't believe I didn't have a concussion.

GTKY: What one embarrassing moment would you wipe from history? At work when I first started at my old job, my coworker was talking about her new baby at home and about his adorable dimples, and she asked what causes dimples, and me, being a scientific freak, I answered honestly and said that it is a defect in the muscle where it doesn't contract and that's why when the other muscle surrounding it contracts, it causes a dimple. Then everyone around me turned and stared at me and another coworker said "they are kisses from an angle above" and every said awww yeah I like that answer better. I died. I cried all weekend feeling so terrible about my answer that when I came back to work on Monday I sincerely apologized to the coworker, but she said she had already forgotten about it. This was 6 years ago and I still can't let it go.
@NYTino24 ugh wow yeah that many days of positive OPKs would make me feel like I needed to HIO too! Can't feel like you missed that window!
@Buthayna I think we all have done that!!
@GeorgiaWife6912 ugh, sorry you're hating your new job. That's so hard to dislike where you work and have to go there everyday.
@hartmich I thought I O'd about the same day each month, CD17, but my LP has been changing recently, so I am not sure anymore. I am going to take OPK's longer than I usually do to see if I am just surging longer that I realize, and I also added temping (which I can't believe I hadn't been doing for 10 months!) I never realized how much information it gave you! Ugh. wasted time!

I am nervous too, but I am also scared that it may not happen and I will end up spending the rest of my life feeling like I am missing something. He may feel like it is too much, but I feel like I am not doing enough.

GTKY: What one embarrassing moment would you wipe from history? When I was younger my cousin managed to convince me to go with him to a haunted house. I CAN NOT handle haunted houses and the whole jump-out scare thing. Well, we reached one part where there was a really dark room with strobe lights, and of course something jumps out at me and I freak and try to run out of the room....and straight into a wall. They actually had to pause everything and turn on the lights because I managed to hit so hard that my nose started to bleed. Needless to say I never went to a haunted house again after that.

CS/Q: @hartmich, This is only my second cycle since having Mirena removed so I don't have much of a baseline, but prior to DS I did. I always got a "twinge" in which ever ovary was releasing and increased EWCM. I always O'd on CD 14, mid-afternoon (I was TTC, so I paid close attention). My first month off Mirena I did the same thing. Tomorrow is CD 14, so I'll see if the pattern holds.
GTKY: When I was in Kindergarten, I had broken my leg and had a plaster cast from the tip of toes to my hip. I had to use the bathroom, and the teacher made me wait till we got done with the lesson she was on. By then I REALLY had to pee, and was hurrying. I got off balance because of the cast, and fell and peed myself in front of several of my classmates. I got into the bathroom and locked the door and refused to come out. My teacher had to call my Grandma to bring me dry clothes and talk me out of the bathroom.
@wvrn1216 Ugh what an embarrassing story! I hope your teacher felt terrible, I'm sure she did! My mom had a similar story of a friend. Her friend told the teacher in 7th grade that she needed to use the bathroom and the teacher refused and she ended up peeing her pants in her seat in the classroom. The teacher got in major trouble and for the rest of the year, that student never needed a reason to leave the classroom.

Originally I was going to keep trying regardless and wouldn't put my life on hold for a wedding, but combined with the trip I'm thinking it's easier just to hold off and try for a September/October baby. I guess we will see if we feel the same way in a month but that is the plan as of now.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: What one embarrassing moment would you wipe from history? I can't think of anything specific right now.. probably some nights I drank too much when I was a bit younger!

R/R: Thank you all for the birthday wishes on Friday! I had a wonderful time celebrating with family and friends this weekend. Plus, a post-birthday cupcake for breakfast today made Monday morning seem a lot less terrible.
CS/Q: Based on opks, I think O was yesterday or today (line started to fade this morning). That means if my cycle stays similar to in the past, my LP will only be 10 days. I know that is on the short side of normal, so I wondered if any of you have talked to your doctor about that issue? I’m not sure if I should be concerned or if there is something I should be doing to lengthen it.

I had some friends over while house-sitting in high school. I was on my period and their dog got in the trash and decided to parade my tampons around the living room while my friends were over. Totally freaked out the guys in the group and left me mortified!
@SaphireSweetie88 Yesterday was + opk day for me too! Always nice when it falls on a weekend.
@NYTion24 That’s an impressive HIO schedule!
@Buthayna I chuckled at your “nothing” comment. As if any of us could be that chill.
@GeorgiaWife6912 Sorry about you DH’s job schedule!
@hartmich I have a short LP too and I’m trying to decide how freaked out I should be about it. I’ve only been tracking about 4 months, but I do tend to turn opks between CD 12-14 each month.
@JuneRoseRuby I love that you knew the real reason babies have dimples! If it was me, I probably would have just been impressed.
@Pinky917 I think my DH would have a hard time with temping too which is why I don’t do it yet. I’ve decided I’ll give us 4 months without and then I’ll bring it up to him if we’re still trying.

@Saralee797 That sounds like so much fun! Fx for CHs tomorrow! Falling "into" a frat party would be awful! Hopefully you were able to play it off as having too much to drink!
@lboalboh A Harry Potter festival sounds awesome! Boo for not so much
@CrystalPDX I'm sorry you will have to TTA for a few cycles. But it does sound like you and your H are in a good place about it! I'm sure y'all will have an awesome time on your work trip/vacation!
@pepper16 Good luck in tww!
@abjm0325 I had a dog that got into our trash when AF was in town if I (or someone else) forgot to shut the door. It was awful. Why are dogs attracted to that?!

CS/Q:
GTKY: What one embarrassing moment would you wipe from history? The first time I went to H's house, I hit a patch of black ice and slid into a snow bank. Cue him and his 3 brothers coming outside and literally picking up my car and putting it back on the road. His mom still laughs at me and my "superb driving skills." Yikes.

R/R: These dang ads that keep popping up on the bump are driving me insane! I am already bumping at work which is probably a NO/NO and then I forget the sound is on and some guys starts talking super loud through my computer in front of 5 patients!
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: What one embarrassing moment would you wipe from history? Can I just say freshman year of college? There are so many things I should erase lol I met so me amazing people though and wouldn't have traded those experiences for anything as much as I may regret parts of them.
CD: 10 (@lund, Hope your doing ok girl, I haven't seen my cycle buddy around for a few days!)
WAYDTGKU: all things! hooray for being back on track
R/R: both kiddos were healthy enough for day care today... now I just have to get caught up at work!!
CS/Q: not yet
GTKY: What one embarrassing moment would you wipe from history? I dont know... I've had a ton of embarrassing moments but currently none is jumping out as traumatic.
@SaphireSweetie88 I had a similar incident in 6th or 7th grade... I had to have my teacher bring me home for new cloths. I learned my lesson that a pantyliner does not equal a pad!
@NYTino24 quite the pace girl! maybe take a break tonight and give it a go tomorrow. Do you turn an OPK fully +? if so maybe hold off a bit until they turn truly positive? I get excited too when they are close but close does not mean positive.
@GeorgiaWife6912 LOL women are diesels! that is a great description. I would still start around CD10 since your cycles are irregular. Glad DS slept better for you.
@hartmich I am generally fairly consistent with CD15/16 O but I did have a CD18 recently
@virginiaham welcome, sorry your back
@nelbetron just keep testing, have you ever turned an OPK fully +? if not you may be one of those women for whom the darkest line is your pos. You may also just be Oing later this cycle
@Pinky917 can you temp without telling your husband? Not hiding it but maybe not bringing it up unless he asks? you could also explain that since you guys are at/nearing the half year mark you would like to be a bit more proactive...
@saralee797 One more high temp and I bet you'll get CH

R/R: So, I still have not O'ed. Both types of ovulation tests and my temps confirm this. The latest I have ever O'ed was day 18, so I guess we will see on Wednesday.
CS/Q: None
GTKY: What one embarrassing moment would you wipe from history?
Pretty much all of high school.
@hartmich I have thought about temping, but I haven’t pulled the trigger yet. I’m guessing my DH wouldn’t be too excited about it, but I think if nothing has happened by Christmas I’ll tell him to suck it up.
CD: 14
WAYDTGKU: Temping, CM, OPKs, PNV, DHA, baby aspirin, CoQ10, Levothyroxine, HIO EOD
R/R: Rant: FF tried to give me CHs for CD9. For comparison sake, last cycle I O'd on CD 27. Now, I did have a CP so anything is possible, but I had only stopped spotting on CD8, and I of course didn't start any OPKs until CD 10, which was negative. After yesterday's temp, which dropped below CL, it took away the CHs, and weirdly today, following another even lower temperature, gave them back. I'm confident that the higher temps were due to sickness and that FF will take away the CHs again as more temps are inputted this week, but I was so confused this weekend and thought we'd missed an entire cycle because we had no timing. Get it together, body!
CS/Q: No.
GTKY: What one embarrassing moment would you wipe from history? I'm sure there are so many but nothing is coming to mind today.
