GTKY: (stolen from TWW) Are you a clean or messy person?
____________________________
**** question + chart stalk (TW CP mentioned )
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: 19
What are you doing to get KU? All the things + the stupid OPK I have an hard time understanding
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk:
**** question**** yesterday I was sure I had ovulated on day 17 (Monday) I had all the signs ( Lots of EWCM, High cervix, temp dip) and then my temp rised to the highest it has been this month. I was expecting another jump this morning but surprise it dip again so I clearly haven't ovulated yet. I was crush, more than after my CP. I'm really afraid I'm having an anovulary cycle. Does it happened after a CP? In a AC do you feel all the sign but then no O? My OPK seemed positive again this morning but I feel my fertile CM is gone so I feel out for O this month....I attached my chart
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) Are you a clean or messy person? I used to be really messy, but now that we have a house and I'm at home I have lots of time to clean
What are you doing to get KU? Temping and cm observation and bd obv
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: **** question**** I have just started temping this cycle and observing cm. is any discharge considered cm? I know that may sound stupid but I believe I have the start of cm "sticky" but it seems super early. I attached my chart to get some insight as well. Does anyone else's reflect this much up-and-down behavior? Just gauging others experience. I use the same thermometer and temp at the same time every morning. I never knew there was so much to ttgp. Haha
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) Are you a clean or messy person? I'm a clean but cluttery person! I don't mind my shoes not put away or pajamas in the bathroom but I'll raise hell if I find food left out or spilled or mud and dirt in the house! Lol
@jolydan you have an open circle for that dip, did you temp at any earlier time?? That could affect it. Also I know a lot of people have been saying it's getting colder where they are and this has shown their temps to be a bit lower. I would say just see what your temps do the next two days because it could have been a fluke and they might shoot right back up!
@sarah0985 I don't think it's too early for CM at all. Some people ovulate on CD 11/12/13 etc so that would make sense! Honestly I start getting CM right when AF stops and I didn't ovulate til CD 17 last cycle! Also have you been getting consistent 3 hours of sleep without waking before taking your temps? That could be causing the rockiness. Maybe try doing any earlier time when you're sure you would have gotten some quality sleep!
@AshPat0525 I woke up a little bit earlier 6:30 instead of 7:15ish. When it happens usually it doesn't really affect my temperature. I also checked with a BBT adjuster (for what they are worth and it would have give me only 97,6ish which is also low). I hope it's only a weather thing.... I don't understand why I feel so crush, I have been sobbing on and off since I temped.
Also @jolydan you should really post the stuff for people to respond to without your answers in them first so they can copy and paste it, just a heads up
Month/Cycle: 2/3

What are you doing to get KU: temping, BD EOD, checking CM and CP
R/R/CS: I think AF is already over... It's only been 2-3 days each time since going off BC which is great and all but it kinda makes me wonder if my lining is building up enough to sustain a pregnancy if there's not much to shed :-?? Well just another thing to sit and wonder over lol
Are you a clean or messy person?
Clean for the most part! Laundry is probably my messiest part, I don't mind doing it but I loathe putting clothes away, I don't know why! Once I do it I realize it's not that big of a deal but I always procrastinate it lol. We will be in our first house in about two weeks and I imagine I will want it to look very nice all the time will probably care less once babies come along and I'm too tired lol

What are you doing to get KU? Sex, BBT, CP/CM, PNV
Rant/Rave/Chart stalk: I officially hate the waiting game when it comes to O. Even more so now that I've started temping, and even more than the TWW. Temp went up a little bit this morning which is a plus, but not a spike by any means. If temps keep going up over the next few days it could just be a slow rise instead of a spike maybe? If I enter higher temps in FF the next few days that would put O around CD18 or 19. And, I'm bloated as fack. Blah.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) Are you a clean or messy person? I would say I'm somewhere in the middle. The older I get the more I hate clutter. I don't need to have the house spotless by any means, but I like to have it presentable, sanitary and tidied up.
@jhems776 do you take oral or vaginal temp? Usually it takes a rise of 0.4 and 3 days of high temp to get a crosshair. By looking at your chart I'd say you didn't ovulated yet because temp are so similar. but I see you had all the other signs... This is so frustrating!!!
@jolydan I temp vaginally, last month was orally and it was all over the place. I didn't have much of a jump last cycle and am worried that I have not ovulate at all since going off BC. It seems my body gears up for it and then no temp raise. Is it possible to O and not have significant temp changes?
What are you doing to get KU? CM, CP, no more temping for me this month (explained below), metformin, Femara
Rant/Rave/Chart stalk : my dog ate my Mabis, jerk!
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) Are you a clean or messy person. My car is always messy! I work as an adjunct and, as such, live out of my car. My house is very clean. We keep it in "people might come over" mode.
Rant/Rave/Chart stalk: I think I am going to ovulate tomorrow or Friday. Couldn't get the BD done yesterday, so am hoping for today. SIGH DH's job is really busy this week.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) Are you a clean or messy person? Ugh messy. First step is admitting it, right?
Rant/Rave/Chart stalk: Seriously???!!! So much watery CM yesterday, cervix in perfect position...nope. Still haven't ovulated. I am so frustrated! I need something good to happen...I think all the stress this month is throwing my body off (
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) Are you a clean or messy person? I try so hard and I want to be a nice, tidy clean person. But day to day I really struggle to stay organized and end up being messy.
@jhems776 I'm no expert but I think the temp shift/bi-phasic chart is the only way to confirm ovulation really happened. I'm kind of in the same situation right now. I had all the signs, felt like it happened but no temp rise....
What are you doing to get KU? OPKs, monitoring CM, BBT, BD
Rant/Rave/Chart stalk: I think I ovulated yesterday CD 16. My BBT went over the cover line this AM. I changed my BBT from target (was giving me the same reading multiple days) to Mabis. My temps are less clear cut, as my temps were super stable prior. I attempted to BD yesterday, but DH was done and tired from work. So hope that CD 16 was the case....anyone feel like looking at my chart, does it appear CD 16? So far?
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) Are you a clean or messy person? I am super tidy LOL, almost like a crazy person. If I am not organized, I can't remember what to do or when to do it. Always cleaning, every day.
Rant/Rave/Chart stalk: Really just not feeling it this week - most likely because I'm just completed buried with work this week. DH has been really sweet this week and trying to be really positive that things will happen for us this month. (I swear, I thought we were prefect last month - we did everything right.) Ordering myself a pity party for 1 tonight with some wine.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) Are you a clean or messy person? I'll admit I'm messy, but it's an organized mess. I will say that after cleaning out three floors of our house, the clutter has been reduced to just the basement so that makes me feel a little bit better.
Rant/Rave/Chart stalk: Temp went up slightly today but not enough to be sure I ovulated yesterday. Just going to wait and see what temps are going to do in the next couple days but keep on HIO as well.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) Are you a clean or messy person? Clean but sometimes I get too busy/work too much and our place is a mess and it drives me CRAZY.

What are you doing to get KU? Temping, tracking CM & CP
Rant/Rave/Chart stalk not TTC related, but some jerk is trying to open an outdoor concert venue in a property that my house backs to. The area is strictly residential, he has no permits, and is claiming it's a non-profit private party...while selling tickets and advertising vendors selling liquor in our dry county. Oh, and the charities he advertises to be working in partnership with have never heard of him. It's making me stabby. My neighborhood alerted the county officials, newspaper, and surrounding community. Hopefully he will gooooo awaaaay.

June 2016 April Siggy Challenge: Reasons my kid is crying
What are you doing to get KU? temping, PNV, OPKs (first one yesterday because my last cycle was only 25 days, it was negative of course), attempting EOD.
Rant/Rave/Chart stalk: This is my first full cycle temping, but based on previous cycles FF has my predicted O date on Sunday. I have a bachelorette party on Saturday night and I don't think I'm going to want to drink because I don't want to mess with my temps! Also DH hasn't been feeling great, I'm hoping he feels better or at least sucks it up the next few days.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) Are you a clean or messy person? Kind of messy. I like it when things are clean, but I just don't have the dedication to keep them that way. My house isn't dirty, but it's cluttered a lot of the time.

What are you doing to get knocked up?: waiting for AF to go.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Cramps. Bleh. I tried to order a Mabis BBT on Amazon last night and couldn't because its an "add-on item" they will only ship with something else. So now I'm trying to figure out what else I need from Amazon.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) Are you a clean or messy person? Messy. But I want to be an organized person and I'm very unhappy with my lazy messiness. On that note, I read "The life-changing magic of tidying up" by Marie Kondo Saturday and started immediately and I love her system. I'm telling everyone about it, Lol.

@MandyBeeSLP are you going to use OPKs? I ordered those on Amazon, so if you think you'll eventually want to try them, you could get those with the thermometer. I was mad that I didn't order the plastic cups because they are an add-on item, too, so now I can't get them without ordering something else. That's how they get you I guess!

What are you doing to get KU? temping, charting, CM, sex
Rant/Rave/Chart stalk: DH came home at 4:30 this morning (poor guy had such a crappy day at work, and it lasted 14 hours), so I woke up and was talking to him, then realized CRAP I didn't temp. I usually temp at 5:30, but I didn't even fall back asleep until 5:30, so I temped at 8:20 when I woke up for real. It is obviously significantly higher. I think (I hope) I O'd Monday or yesterday, so I'm hoping this wonky temp doesn't throw off my chart too much to detect ovulation. One more high temp above 96.8 and I get crosshairs for Monday...so we'll see.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) Are you a clean or messy person? Clean. I can't go to sleep unless my kitchen is clean and the house is picked up.
What are you doing to get KU? Just BBT right now. Ready for AF to go away.
Rant/Rave/CS: First visit from AF in over 2 years. Not excited. I was so happy to see crosshairs on FF on Monday after my temp rose, and our timing would have been perfect if that was actually my O date. But... damn first cycles and bodies coming down from hormones anyway. I just want to throw up and sleep and cuddle the puppy and sleep some more. I had to skip classes this morning because cramps are so bad. And, of course, I wasn't expecting AF, so I haven't bought any Midol.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) Are you a clean or messy person? Clean with a messy style.
Rant/Rave/Chart stalk: Rant/ I apologize I haven't been on lately. This cycle has kind of been a whirlwind & I'm over it. I've NEVER had a cycle this long & I think I've just stressed myself out this time. Shouldn't I have cross hairs by now? my dotted lines are from drinking mostly lol & my few open circles are from waking up at 6 AM instead of 6:30... dumb. Rave/ I'm going to the gyno this afternoon for my annual. I'm hoping to gain some insight too. I've NEVER been excited for the gyno. TTC makes you do crazy things lol Chart Stalk/ will be attached. I'm so confused, yall.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) Are you a clean or messy person? Clean but not a crazy clean freak. DH is though lol
What are you doing to get KU: AF has left the building , temping, BD EOD or ED starting tomorrow, checking CM, OPK
R/R/CS: I had a nightmare that woke me up at 5:38 AM. I usually have my alarm set at 6:20 AM to temp. I realized that I would not be able to get a good temp with less than ~40 min of sleep so I took it at 5:40 AM and now I have my first open circle on FF since temping. Blah! I know it doesn't really matter because it's only one data point, and it's really about the overall picture, but it still mildly annoyed me.
I'm excited AF is gone! Woohooo! Now I have an upcoming opportunity to get PG. Excited and hopeful. Starting to BD EOD/ED (depending on how we feel) tomorrow.
Reading TCOYF and It's fantastic and so informative. I'm happy to have learned of this book on this board.
Are you a clean or messy person? In my head I'm clean, however I'm too lazy to actually keep up with it. I leave a lot of clutter in my wake, however I NEVER EVER let things get dirty (e.g. dirt, dust, sticky things, spoiled things) ewww
aloha5736 Have you tried putting in temps similar to CD17 for CD18 and CD19 to see if you get crosshairs? I think it's possible you O'd on CD16, but you'll just have to wait and see when the next few days temps are
@jhems776 I don't see O, even with a slow rise, indicated on your chart. Why did you discard that one temp? It was not significantly different so I would leave it.
@bbrooke92 I would day you O'd CD 34 but FF probably won't confirm because if your missing and inconsistently timed temps.

I've been careless this month bc I just felt like I wasn't going to ovulate. I was thinking I ovulated day 34 too. Crazy we just happened to have sex that night too lol I won't be too hopeful this month though. I should've been more diligent with my temping I guess! Oh well.

What are you doing to get KU? Temping, CM, charting, sex
Rant/Rave/Chart stalk: ****question**** I've been trying to be extra good about recording CM this month and I'm now onto my 5th day of EWCM/watery. This seems like too many days in a row and it's pretty early for O I feel. How many days of this do you usually get? I have in the past had a few days then dry then another few days when my O has been delayed but not usually this many in a row.
Thoughts?
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) Are you a clean or messy person? I'm a tidy person but I don't like true cleaning!
Married since 2011 TTC since Oct 2014 DOR + MFI 3 failed IUIs; IVF August 2017
@bbrooke92 hmmm I also thought you should have had crosshairs because with that many temps being high it looks like you would have O'd already but I think all the EWCM is throwing it off... was it extremely noticeable EWCM? Just thinking that is why you are not get cross hairs. I'd say just keep watching those temps and if they stay elevated it would look like a temp shift to me!
Just adding a side note: Does anyone else HATE the beginning of the cycle?! Besides the fact that you are not KTFU, I just hate looking at my chart with no temps or CM observations, nothing for me to obsess over lol! Always looking to the chart for the answers to what's going to happen this cycle...

What are you doing to get KU? OPKs, monitoring CM, BBT, BD
Rant/Rave/Chart stalk: I think I ovulated yesterday CD 16. My BBT went over the cover line this AM. I changed my BBT from target (was giving me the same reading multiple days) to Mabis. My temps are less clear cut, as my temps were super stable prior. I attempted to BD yesterday, but DH was done and tired from work. So hope that CD 16 was the case....anyone feel like looking at my chart, does it appear CD 16? So far?
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) Are you a clean or messy person? I am super tidy LOL, almost like a crazy person. If I am not organized, I can't remember what to do or when to do it. Always cleaning, every day.

What are you doing to get KU? All the things...
Rant/Rave/Chart stalk: Really just not feeling it this week - most likely because I'm just completed buried with work this week. DH has been really sweet this week and trying to be really positive that things will happen for us this month. (I swear, I thought we were prefect last month - we did everything right.) Ordering myself a pity party for 1 tonight with some wine.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) Are you a clean or messy person? I'll admit I'm messy, but it's an organized mess. I will say that after cleaning out three floors of our house, the clutter has been reduced to just the basement so that makes me feel a little bit better.

What are you doing to get KU? Temp, cm, sex EOD, pnv
Rant/Rave/Chart stalk: temps are staying low. I wanna spike!

CD: 15
What are you doing to get KU? Everything
Rant/Rave/Chart stalk: Temp went up slightly today but not enough to be sure I ovulated yesterday. Just going to wait and see what temps are going to do in the next couple days but keep on HIO as well.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) Are you a clean or messy person? Clean but sometimes I get too busy/work too much and our place is a mess and it drives me CRAZY.

What are you doing to get KU? Temping, tracking CM & CP
Rant/Rave/Chart stalk not TTC related, but some jerk is trying to open an outdoor concert venue in a property that my house backs to. The area is strictly residential, he has no permits, and is claiming it's a non-profit private party...while selling tickets and advertising vendors selling liquor in our dry county. Oh, and the charities he advertises to be working in partnership with have never heard of him. It's making me stabby. My neighborhood alerted the county officials, newspaper, and surrounding community. Hopefully he will gooooo awaaaay.

What are you doing to get KU? All the things
Rant/Rave/Chart stalk: totally forgot to start OPKs this morning. Oops!
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) Are you a clean or messy person? Mostly clean. Well, mostly tidy. I hate vacuuming. In the slow process of vacuuming.
CD: 9
What are you doing to get KU? temping, PNV, OPKs (first one yesterday because my last cycle was only 25 days, it was negative of course), attempting EOD.
Rant/Rave/Chart stalk: This is my first full cycle temping, but based on previous cycles FF has my predicted O date on Sunday. I have a bachelorette party on Saturday night and I don't think I'm going to want to drink because I don't want to mess with my temps! Also DH hasn't been feeling great, I'm hoping he feels better or at least sucks it up the next few days.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) Are you a clean or messy person? Kind of messy. I like it when things are clean, but I just don't have the dedication to keep them that way. My house isn't dirty, but it's cluttered a lot of the time.

What are you doing to get knocked up?: waiting for AF to go.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Cramps. Bleh.
I tried to order a Mabis BBT on Amazon last night and couldn't because its an "add-on item" they will only ship with something else. So now I'm trying to figure out what else I need from Amazon.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) Are you a clean or messy person? Messy. But I want to be an organized person and I'm very unhappy with my lazy messiness. On that note, I read "The life-changing magic of tidying up" by Marie Kondo Saturday and started immediately and I love her system. I'm telling everyone about it, Lol.

What are you doing to get KU? temping, charting, CM, sex
Rant/Rave/Chart stalk: DH came home at 4:30 this morning (poor guy had such a crappy day at work, and it lasted 14 hours), so I woke up and was talking to him, then realized CRAP I didn't temp. I usually temp at 5:30, but I didn't even fall back asleep until 5:30, so I temped at 8:20 when I woke up for real. It is obviously significantly higher. I think (I hope) I O'd Monday or yesterday, so I'm hoping this wonky temp doesn't throw off my chart too much to detect ovulation. One more high temp above 96.8 and I get crosshairs for Monday...so we'll see.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) Are you a clean or messy person? Clean. I can't go to sleep unless my kitchen is clean and the house is picked up.
CD: 1
What are you doing to get KU? Just BBT right now. Ready for AF to go away.
Rant/Rave/CS: First visit from AF in over 2 years. Not excited. I was so happy to see crosshairs on FF on Monday after my temp rose, and our timing would have been perfect if that was actually my O date. But... damn first cycles and bodies coming down from hormones anyway. I just want to throw up and sleep and cuddle the puppy and sleep some more. I had to skip classes this morning because cramps are so bad. And, of course, I wasn't expecting AF, so I haven't bought any Midol.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) Are you a clean or messy person?
Clean with a messy style.

What are you doing to get KU? Everything
Rant/Rave/Chart stalk: Rant/ I apologize I haven't been on lately. This cycle has kind of been a whirlwind & I'm over it. I've NEVER had a cycle this long & I think I've just stressed myself out this time. Shouldn't I have cross hairs by now? my dotted lines are from drinking mostly lol & my few open circles are from waking up at 6 AM instead of 6:30... dumb. Rave/ I'm going to the gyno this afternoon for my annual. I'm hoping to gain some insight too. I've NEVER been excited for the gyno. TTC makes you do crazy things lol Chart Stalk/ will be attached. I'm so confused, yall.

What are you doing to get KU: AF has left the building , temping, BD EOD or ED starting tomorrow, checking CM, OPK
R/R/CS: I had a nightmare that woke me up at 5:38 AM. I usually have my alarm set at 6:20 AM to temp. I realized that I would not be able to get a good temp with less than ~40 min of sleep so I took it at 5:40 AM and now I have my first open circle on FF since temping. Blah! I know it doesn't really matter because it's only one data point, and it's really about the overall picture, but it still mildly annoyed me.
Are you a clean or messy person? In my head I'm clean, however I'm too lazy to actually keep up with it. I leave a lot of clutter in my wake, however I NEVER EVER let things get dirty (e.g. dirt, dust, sticky things, spoiled things) ewww
@bbrooke92 I would day you O'd CD 34 but FF probably won't confirm because if your missing and inconsistently timed temps.

What are you doing to get KU? Everything
Rant/Rave/Chart stalk: I am SICK and TIRED of people asking me when I'm going to get pregnant! A woman at work yesterday had the nerve to tell me that if i don't hurry up and get pregnant i'm going to be an old mom. I wanted to punch her in the face...I'm 28!! Some people are just so ignorant.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) Are you a clean or messy person? I hate to admit it but I'm a messy person. I like to clean but it's not always high on my priority list!

What are you doing to get KU? Temping, CM, charting, sex
Rant/Rave/Chart stalk:
****question****
I've been trying to be extra good about recording CM this month and I'm now onto my 5th day of EWCM/watery. This seems like too many days in a row and it's pretty early for O I feel. How many days of this do you usually get? I have in the past had a few days then dry then another few days when my O has been delayed but not usually this many in a row.
Thoughts?
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) Are you a clean or messy person? I'm a tidy person but I don't like true cleaning!
