Feel free to chime in, offer hugs, give your interpretation of a chart stalk and share your knowledge!

This is a thread posted daily for any of us who need to get out our frustrations about waiting to O, the 2WW, or vent about our cycles.

If you find yourself checking FF obsessively, MF is getting the best of you, or you just want to pee on all things, let it out here! In order for the conductors to be better able to help you, please make sure you either have a FF chart link in your sig, or make sure you post a link.

Don't chart? You should consider it, not only will it give you a lot more insight to your cycles, but conductors will be able to answer a lot of your questions just by looking at your chart!

To learn more about charting, check out the charting course that FF offers:https://www.fertilityfriend.com/courses/

The CT is not the place to post a BFP. If you have a "squinter" or if you have a line that appeared after the time frame, please do not post about it here. Take a step back from the board, test again with FMU, and good luck!

Hi everyone first!! crazy train post ☺

Crazy level from 1-10:4

CD/DPO:cd 12

Can I just ______ already?!:ovulate

Signs/Symptoms:none

Explain your Crazy here:this is my first cycle Temping and I never sleep thru the night. I get up at all hours..but trying to get up as close to 5:45 as possible when I have a very weak bladder has proven to be impossible. Once I wake up..my bladder is screaming at me. Today I woke up at 500 and HAD to get up..so I took the temp and got my first open circle. Every other day its been close enough to 545 that I got the dot. It drove me crazy to see that open circle on cd 12!!!I really hope im able to get crosshairs on my first cycle..as im extremely curious to know if/when I ovulate.

@sweetcalittc1 best of luck to you this cycle..I hope the 11 day wait results in some good news for you!!

Punching my ticket!! Crazy level from 1-10: 3 CD/DPO: 17/3 Can I just ______ already?!: know already!!! Signs/Symptoms: Nada. I had strong O pains the day of my IUI and not a damn thing since (not surprising). Explain your Crazy here: it's just a bunch of hurry up and wait! I'm trying to occupy my mind with other stuff but no dice. It's going to be a long 11 days.

Good luck! Remember that if your doc has you on progesterone sups that you will get lots of symptoms for those so try not to let it feed the crazy.

45 minutes should not make a big difference in your temp. The big thing is to make sure you temp before you get up which it sounds like you did

Looks good so far and great job at tracking your CM also! The more info you can give FF the better.

Thanks @buggirl72‌ sometimes I get confused on which one im seeing..like today..so I didnt put anything down...im assuming it gets easier with time to differentiate???

@negritosmami chart looks good so far!  CM does get easier over time to differentiate, or at least I can tell fertile vs everything else.  I wouldn't worry too much about 545 vs 5 am.

@sweetcalittc1 good luck this cycle!  Hope the 11 days go by quickly

So I guess I'm officially back on the train.  

Crazy level:  About a 3 and climbing

CD/DPO:  CD 17, if everything worked correctly, today is O!

Can I just __ already?!  Know if I actually O'd

Signs/symptoms:  Had cramping on both sides even before my IUI this am.  Also still feeling a little sick from the trigger

Explain your crazy:  Well, I triggered on 1/1 like my RE recommended and had IUI # 2 today.  Post-wash count 35 million, 20 million motile.  Every time I trigger and don't wait until O, I always get paranoid that things actually worked they way they are supposed to until my temp rises.  So now I'm just waiting for temp rise.  Hoping the cramping pre- IUI means everything is going well!

It does. One rule of thumb to remember with CM is to put down whatever the most fertile CM is. That makes it a little easier when you see multiple types.

Good luck! That sounds like a good post-wash count! REs are pretty good about timing when O will happen on medicated cycles once the trigger is given. Hang in there.

Thanks @nikiswimr‌ and I wish you the best this cycle

Hi ladies!!!! I don't need to punch my ticket just yet but have a question as yet another new temp taker..

I have been tracking my cycles on FF and periodtracker. After each of my two losses I wiped my stats and began again thinking my time during pregnancy would screw up it's info since I had no period. I've begun tracking again for my past two post d&c cycles and have started OPK testing/logging each morning since earlier last week. I have a brand new BBT and plan on using it daily (haven't started yet) and adding the info to my chart as instructed, but I'm worried about not landing the same time each morning; mostly I'm concerned about weekends. I saw that it was mentioned not getting out of bed is important so my ears perked up- is a temp at 715 on Tuesday but a temp at 9 on Saturday an issue, even if I don't move a muscle? (Ugh I know I'm splitting hairs, because I see the note about 45 minutes not making a difference- I just want to make sure I'm understanding this clearly.)

I'm not really a late sleeper, but I don't love the idea of needing to wake up early to temp when I don't always wake at the same time without an alarm. I feel like that should go on the FFFC post since obviously I should be willing to do anything for a 3rd chance, and If I have to temp at 715 like clockwork I will! But for now a healthy pregnancy just seems so damn far away and beauty sleep is a bit more real to me, I guess. Plus, with temping being so new to me I value your experiences.

Any advice would be appreciated!

I'm at a level 10! Ugh I'm 11dpo, and like I previously posted this week, was going to try to wait until 12 dpo to test but failed. I usually start spotting a day or two before AF so my crazy self keeps sticking toilet paper up to see if there is any blood. (TMI sorry) I'm having horribly sore boobs, but that's also a pms symptom for me so I am not trying to consider that a symptom. I had a lot of random cramping 1dpo-9dpo and now it's subsided. The only time I've ever become PG ( which resulted in loss) I had no symptoms what so ever. Wish I had a chart to share but I haven't temped. Looking to start next cycle.

Thanks for talking me down I think I worry even more when things look good from MHs standpoint because then when it doesn't work out its clearly on my end. So I worry at every step that my body isn't responding the way it should. Definitely craziness. Going to try to stay positive and sane this cycle!
