Rants/thoughts/chart
stalks: still really confused about how to put the temping and ovulation kit data together to have any idea what is going on. According to the clear blue advanced, i am at peak fertility today, but my temps haven't gone up. i have been on FF and it seems to be confusing me way more than it helps.
If you got peak fertility today, I believe it means you will O w/in 12-24 hours. You will see a temp shift after O, so not for a day or two.
bfp#4 3/19/2014 edd 12/1/2014 please let this be the one!
Rants/thoughts/chart stalks: CHART STALK me! I got crosshairs this morning, but part of me is convinced it's not right. I have only been doing opks once a day, I was waiting til cd 14 to start twice a day, since I didn't O til CD 23 last cycle. Maybe I missed the surge. I did have a little EWCM yesterday, but that's it.
Based on temps alone it looks right. Just wait and see what your temps do over the next few days.

What are you doing?: temping, charting, prenatals, preseed, doin' it. Side note: whenever I see someone write PNV, I immediately think "penis in vagina, yup, pretty sure that's how it works".
Rants/thoughts/chart stalks: Not really. Still haven't figured out how I'm going to temp this weekend sleeping in a hotel room with my mother. Yay.
GTKY: what would your top choice country to be to visit? I've been to Italy but would like to go back and experience it with my husband. Australia, Ireland, Spain, France, Germany... I'd like to go everywhere! Except I am genuinely worried that if I go anywhere English speaking that has accents I will just giggle the whole time. I am so entertained by accents, it's bad.
We met an English couple when we were in Spain and they kept asking us to say things and then they'd parrot it back in an "American" accent. It was a riot. They asked us what we thought they sounded like and we attempted our best British accent. They about lost it.
Not sure how the city folk would feel about it but I thought it was really funny
Rants/thoughts/chart stalks: nothing really - I'm hoping this is a short period so we can get back at it. Question: how much stock do you put in FF "projected fertile/O days" on the calendar? I'm assuming those are based on a standard 28 day cycle.
They're based on your own history, and in my case is pretty accurate.
bfp#4 3/19/2014 edd 12/1/2014 please let this be the one!
What are you doing?: bbt, charting, pnv, green tea, goal of EOD sex
Rants/Chart Stalks/Thoughts?: just wishing I had shorter cycles so I would o sooner...I know that a lot of ladies have it much harder than I do, but it's still frustrating to know that I'm not even close to being near o day. Ok pity party over.
GTKY: Italy!!! My DH family is from there, so I hear about it all the time. Can't wait to explore all the places they speak so fondly of.

GTKY: what would your top choice country to be to visit? I've always wanted to visit Fiji - if I could make it through a plane ride that long.
The projected days are based on your previous cycles, so if you just started your chart this month I wouldn't put too much stock in them. Do you have a chart link? I'm thinking a 6 day LP can't be right, it's awfully short. Unless PP said, it was right after BCP.

Greece!

Thank you! We shall see in the morning what they say
Rants/thoughts/chart stalks: Still just waiting to ovulate... haven't gotten a positive OPK yet (with my miscarriage earlier this year I had 3 days of positive OPKs before I ovulated) so I figure O is still a few days away best case scenario.
GTKY: I want to go back to England. My best friend is there and it is such a beautiful place!

@mauibliss, DH and I did the Trans-Mongolian/Trans-Siberian railway for our honeymoon and spent 10 days in Mongolia, most of it staying with nomadic families in the Gobi. It was INCREDIBLE - I totally recommend it. And cheap!
I lost where you wrote this... but did you say you're a Kiwi? I googled and still didn't find it. What's a Kiwi?

What are you doing?: pnv, reading the threads
Rants/thoughts/chart stalks: I think this may be the only cycle actively TTC. So far it has been fun and exciting for me, but so is not a planner and isn't into the charting, temping sort of stuff. So after this month we may just try to not TTA and see what happens.
GTKY: what would your top choice country to be to visit? Sweden! Been there before. I love countries with real history. One of those "this structure was built prior to the Americas discovery"
