What are you doing to get KU? Temping/charting/checking cm
Rants/raves/chart stalk: so I had a weird temp spike yesterday and it went back down today. I'm pretty sure I was up before my alarm yesterday, listening to DS in the baby monitor, and that's why my temp was up. It went back down today... Should I discard it? Or leave it?

What are you doing to get KU? Temping, charting, cm, cp
Rants/raves/chart stalk: Not much, my temp went back down this morning to what I was expecting, so my temp spike yesterday must have been due to drinking Saturday night.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) What was your favorite childhood cartoon growing up?
Rants/raves/chart stalk: One more high temp, and it'll confirm O. I just hope today's super-high temp wasn't a result of the ridiculous number of times I got up to pee last night (like over 20, no lie). I barely slept. I'm tired and grumpy and emotional and bleh.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) What was your favorite childhood cartoon growing up?
R/R/CS: So, I put this in "Weekend Randoms" already....but... we're watching my friend's dog and I came home from a BBQ last night and one of them ate my Jawbone fitness tracker. I found it in pieces chewed up on the floor! Now the fun is finding out which one...ew.

I would try it. That chart looks pretty rocky mountains pattern to me. Temping vaginally might help!

Thanks for the input ladies
@katetastrophem I would be so mad. Those things are expensive.
Uhhh yes. I'm 99% sure it was my friend's dog too, because she's always eating weird stuff. Blah! I called the vet and she said "this too shall pass." HAHAHA. Gross.
@oandmplus1 You could temp vaginally if you want. I just want to point out that even though your temps are rocky, you still have been consistently ovulating around CD 24/25. So there is still a pattern.
@FloridaStanley From what I understand you really shouldn't discard temps, so I would leave the temp but put any details in the notes.
What are you doing to get KU? Charting/temping, opk, ovulation study with RE, PNV, B6, Metformin, lots of sex
Rants/raves/chart stalk: Temp dipped yesterday and peak fertility on opk so I really thought I was about to ovulate. Temp on came up.2 degrees though so maybe it will do a slow rise...?
*** I have very little CM all throughout the month. I don't know if I have ever even seen true EWCM. Is this something I should be concerned about or is there anything to do about it? I have started B6 this month to hopefully increase the amount but so far no luck.

@kateastrophem That sucks! One time my dog got into the trash and ate half of my *used* Nuvaring. Luckily everything was ok because there were no more hormones in the ring.
What are you doing to get KU? Temps,BD,laying flat after sex,praying a lot.
Rants/raves/chart stalk: I got a + opk yesterday. Hands down that's the most I have ever been able to be 100% sure it was + and no second guess myself. This morning tested - so I am just waiting on the temp shift to make sure.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) What was your favorite childhood cartoon growing up Loved Sabrina the teenage witch and rugrats and who could forget legends on the hidden temple.
What are you doing to get KU? Temping, prenatals, EOD
Rants/raves/chart stalk: so I just started temping right before AF showed up, so about a week and my temps were all mid to high 97s then CD 3 they plummeted to 96s. I know temps during AF can be strange and I'm assuming I had some lingering progesterone on CD 1-2 but I'm hoping this doesn't lead to funky charts down the road.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) What was your favorite childhood cartoon growing up? Doug, Rocko's Modern Life
Rants/raves/chart stalk: 2 high temps after a dip got my hope up for O, but this morning it dipped again back to below cover line. SO FRUSTRATED!! I'm also cramping this morning so maybe AF is on her way and I just didn't O. I welcome AF with open arms just so we can start this party over again.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) What was your favorite childhood cartoon growing up? Ducktales and Talespin!
What are you doing to get KU? Charting AF, BD ED/EOD, PNV
Rants/raves/chart stalk: I was exciting to test this morning (what I thought was 15DPO) but woke up at 3am with excruciating cramps. I took ibuprofen but they lasted well over an hour before they eased up enough to go back to sleep! I was in tears in child's pose in bed doing breathing exercises to get through it... These were the worst cramps I have had in a long time! Or did it feel worse combined with my sadness of not conceiving...
After 2 months of having sex ED/EOD for a week in my estimated fertile window... I think I need to start temping and reading that book you all suggest... Taking charge of your fertility?
Just frustrating to spend over a decade trying not to get pregnant and now wanting to so bad!

@AgGal2010 I also have very little CM and have never seen true EWCM. But I can still tell the difference between dry, sticky, and watery and I see a pattern throughout the month. Are you checking internally? I think some women just don't have a whole lot of CM.

Rants/raves/chart stalk: I've decided to schedule an appointment with an OB for a preconception consultation and to talk about my super short LP and what seems to be very light periods. I'm sure it's just my body working itself out after the Mirena, but I'd like an official medical opinion sooner rather than later.

What are you doing to get KU? Once AF leaves, all the things.
Rants/raves/chart stalk: Here's my question: since it's starting to cool off here, will my temps change as a result? Even though we consistently sleep with it between 69 (summer) and 64 (other seasons), there was a massive drop in my temp this morning. I know it isn't anything crazy since AF is still here and it's really early in my cycle but I was just wondering if my temps may start doing wonky things as a result of the seasons changing and it getting cooler? Thoughts?

The Simpsons were a huge part of my childhood - I was four when that show came out. I also loved pretty much all Donald Duck and Looney Toons cartoons, but at various stages, I liked Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the pizza always looked yummy), Duck Tales, Pound Puppies, and Animaniacs. I also remember eating a lot of Tiny Toons fruit snacks; so I must have watched that as well. And I watched the show Arthur when I was WAY too old to watch it. OH, and remember the Magic School Bus and Ms. Frizzle?
R/R/CS: lots of drinking on Saturday and my temp took a huge rise then dip. Any chance that was O super early? I think I'm just sensitive to drinking. I guess I'll HIO later today just in case ;;)
GTKY: Rugrats!!! Loved that show when I was little!
What are you doing to get KU? Charting/temping, OPKs, checking CM, etc.

GTKY: (stolen from TWW) What was your favorite childhood cartoon growing up? Ben and Jerry
@laurenm2123 I'd guess the temp spike is more due to drinking on Saturday -- my temps always do that when I drink a lot, especially vodka. But, of course, HIO
