Re: WTO Monday
CD: 1....
WDYDTKNU: nothing at the moment
R/R/CS: I'm back....
Things have learned this month.
1- As promising as your chart can look with really high temp, it's really bullshit and luck
2- seeing 3 of your favorite bumpies get promoted to their BMB can brings tears to your eyes when you relax you are staying behind. (But for whoever says this community is harsh and mean, they clearly haven't taken more than 2 minutes around to see all the wonderful women here)
3- Not symptom spotting helps but seeing other SS makes me want to yell at my phone
GTKU: What never fails to turn a bad into a good day for you?
Doing a fun date with DH.

WAYDTGKU: PNV, Charting everything, sex ED/EOD during FW
R/R/CS: Just waiting to confirm O, had a couple days of EWCM too, which is typically right on schedule - O is usually between CD 14-16. Trying not to prematurely get my hopes up about this month since we've actually had pretty good timing.
GTKU: What never fails to turn a bad into a good day for you? My sweet puppy dog! No matter what, I can't help but smile at him, especially when he was his tail so hard he wiggles his entire 70 lb body. And he's always got a goofy smile and tons of kisses. I think dogs make everything better. DH is pretty good at turning things around for me too. And he always tries to make me smile.
CD: 1...
CD: 2
WAYDTGKU: Nothing right now but will start temping again and using OPKs later this cycle.
R/R/CS: I decided I'm calling yesterday CD1 instead of Friday like I did originally. Kind of confused on this though. **tmi** The only reason I said I was on CD1 on Friday was because I did have bright red blood and what I would call light flow, but it was only after a BM. Other than that, I had mainly just brown spotting until yesterday. When I was on BCP, I never had spotting, just had like 3 days of a normal period and that was that. Now I am realizing that I have a few days of spotting every month and I'm confused on what "counts". But I guess it really doesn't matter what day I call what as long as I am temping to confirm O anyway.
GTKU: What never fails to turn a bad into a good day for you? A nap, haha.

CD: 3!!! Got my long awaited AF on Saturday. FINALLY.
WAYDTGKU: I'm all set for my first month of temping & OPK's!
R/R/CS: Rave over my sweet H, who -out of nowhere- said "Wouldn't you being pregnant be such an awesome Xmas gift for your mom?" That exact thought has been on my mind many times lately, but I've never verbalized it :-)
GTKU: What never fails to turn a bad into a good day for you? Wine.
CD: 11
WAYDTGKU: Temping/charting, CM, OPKs, BD ED during FW
R/R/CS: I had a weirdo temp dip this morning. No positive OPK so I'm wondering if it's a fluke. Based on OPKs only, my O day has been 13-14.
GTKU: What never fails to turn a bad into a good day for you? Having Chinese for dinner.
@severmilli12 FX this is your month! I can't imagine how it feels to be at this for a year. I hope this is your month and you dont
MONTH/CYCLE: 17, but only 5/5 temping
CD: 15
WAYDTGKU: the usual everything: temping, checking CM and CP, OPKs, sex
R/R/CS: pretty sure O day was yesterday but I'll wait for CHs to move over to TWW

WAYDTGKU: All the things
R/R/CS: Ugh still waiting for my crosshairs to pop-up. Yesterday and today have started with some pretty painful cramps but I'm blaming it on my poor eating for this weekend - the Bengals game did not help me make good food choices either. A positive for this week is that it will be short since DH and I are travel for a family wedding on Saturday. I can't wait for the long weekend and just to hang out with DH.
GTKU: What never fails to turn a bad into a good day for you? Snuggle time with the puppies and lots of hugs from DH. (A glass of wine typically helps too
CD: 17
WAYDTGKU: all of the things. Taking a new approach & BD ED or EOD until crosshairs on FF
R/R/CS: Rant/ I figured I would've O'd by now. Hopefully it will be soon. It is what it is. CS/ attached. I feel like my temps are kind of weird. I don't really know what to expect since this is my first month temping vaginally though.
GTKU: What never fails to turn a bad into a good day for you? Getting out & checking my cattle!
Early M/C Dec. 2015
CD: 9
WAYDTGKU: Everything with OPKs starting tomorrow
R/R/CS: My mom just left yesterday after an amazing visit so I am in a great mood. I am finally getting close to game time/FW, it feels like the last two weeks took forever. Will start hopefully the sexiest of weeks tomorrow. I am feeling good this month. It took the first three cycles to figure out my O after a decade of BCPs and I think this time we will have good timing.
GTKU: What never fails to turn a bad into a good day for you? Boozy brunch, I love bottomless mimosas. If it isn't the weekend going out for a really good meal and glass of wine. Mostly just going out, I will wallow if I stay home.
CD: 14
WAYDTGKU: temping, checking CM
R/R/CS: I'm REALLY hoping that the Ortho dr will say that my issues with my knee are all muscular and not anything more than that. If he is thinking otherwise, then we'll have to take the next few months off TTC. I would be crushed if we had to do that because I want a baby more than anything. I work for a college however and we get 2 weeks off @ Christmas and that would be the best time for a surgery and recovery if needed. Also, I can't really imagine waiting until after I had a baby to have something done because I don't know I'd be able to care for a 1 year old on crutches. I guess it can be done, but I need to be able to work out again sooner than later for my sanity and this is really affecting that. So any thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated!!!
GTKU: What never fails to turn a bad into a good day for you? a work out, hugs from my DH, snuggles with my doggy

WAYDTGKU: All the things except OPKs.
R/R/CS: Just enjoying this time with DH.
GTKU: What never fails to turn a bad into a good day for you?
CD: 3
WAYDTGKU: I will start temping in a couple days. It will be my first time.
R/R/CS: I'm excited to be posting here. AF finally showed up over the weekend after the longest cycle I have ever had. I will temp this cycle to hopefully learn a bit more about what is going on with my body.
GTKU: What never fails to turn a bad into a good day for you? It really depends on what is making my day so bad. Sometimes it is as simple as going home and being with my family. Sometimes I just need a good workout. Other times, I will just take a night off from my chores and waste time (Netflix, Internet surfing, games on the iPad, etc).
CD: 7
WAYDTGKU: Sex ED and temping
R/R/CS: It would be great if this cycle was the one because then we could do our announcements in our Christmas cards
GTKU: What never fails to turn a bad into a good day for you?
CD: 30
WAYDTGKU: waiting on AF
R/R/CS: This may be long...my apologies. I had the paraguard IUD for a little under a year. I had it removed 1 week after last AF in September. DH and I were NTNP since I had it removed after my cycle. I've taken 4 tests and received 4 BFN (which I expected), however Saturday was the day of my expected AF. I have a normal 28 day cycle (at least that's how it's been for the last 20 something+ years of my life). I know this seems odd but I'm like AF where art thou? I just want to bleed already so that we can get back on track. *sigh*.
GTKY- movie date with DH, frozen yogurt, gospel music
You are coming off birth control, so what has been normal to you is no longer normal. You need to forget everything you think is normal or else you will drive yourself crazy. The length of your cycle, your PMS symptoms, everything can be very different.

WAYDTGKU: Everything
R/R/CS: It's that boring time of the month so nothing really.

WAYDTGKU: same
R/R/CS: chart stalk please. My temps started going up into the 36 degree range which they never do normally (I checked back to my old charts before I got my period back and 35.89 was my highest reading) so I was expecting crosshairs but then after 2 higher temps I got a low one and now I'm back to the 36 range. BUT when I erase the one low temp it give me crosshairs at cd14, not 18 like I expected. I don't believe cd 14 is correct but who knows. WWYD? Believe FF and go with o on cd 14 for now or keep the low temp and assume I'm still wto?
GTKU: What never fails to turn a bad into a good day for you? Going for a walk with friends.

CD: 31- sadly still here!
WAYDTGKU: was doing everything now kind of slacking as this cycle is going on for an eternity.
R/R/CS: CD 31 and no O. >:P I don't know much about anovulatory cycles but I am hoping af comes soon so I can move on, pretty sure I am out for this month. I have no idea why I would just not ovulate this month, it has never happened before although my cycles are usually 35 days long.
GTKU: What never fails to turn a bad into a good day for you? Spending time with DH and my furbaby or going somewhere fun, chocolate
@MNturnsVA I hope everything works out ok with your knees, sorry it it such bad timing with TTC.
MONTH/CYCLE: 4
CD: 15 (or 16, I can't remember and I am too lazy to check FF)
WAYDTGKU: all the things
R/R/CS: Was praying to O today so that we didn't have to figure out time to BD during the week. We have zero time alone due to opposite work schedules and two young kids. Still no high on the CB Adv opk and my Wondfos are getting darker, but not not quite there. Looks like I will be late for work a few times this week just in case.
GTKU: What never fails to turn a bad into a good day for you? **Possible TW / kids mentioned
** My kids really can turn my day from bad to good (or good to bad depending on their moods). But my two year old really is a little character, he makes me laugh constantly.
CD: 1
WAYDTGKU: Nada
R/R/CS: I knew about three days ago this probably wasn't my month as my temps began a slow nose-dive. I'm still really frustrated, though. Mostly because I had hoped that our due date would allow me to take the entire summer off (even though I know you can't control these things). And yesterday I spent all day on crutches having strained my ankle in a race I did on Saturday. I still had to go out because we had friends visiting, but at least everyone was super nice and I never had trouble getting a seat on the subway or bus.
GTKU: What never fails to turn a bad into a good day for you? Cuddling with DH.
@MNturnsVA I had to stop looking in the TWW threads. I get excited for them, but that quickly turns into depression. I almost cried yesterday!
Everyone else on CD1, sorry
Month/Cycle: 5
CD: 10
WAYDTGKU: BD frequently, BBT, CM
R/R/CS: I'm starting to worry this will be an AO cycle. I have absolutely NO REASON to believe that, but all these "signs" I'm checking for is just confusing me. *oh I have this CP but that CM and it doesn't match and oh my temps are not jumping and...* It's becoming too much. Though I will keep temping after O (just to add it back later and see the pattern) I will be glad to let go of checking CM and agonizing over every day's temp.
GTKY: FOOD!!! (Which means my weight loss journey has been unbearably slow lol)
ETA: "is" not "us"
MONTH/CYCLE: 3/3
CD: 9
WAYDTGKU: temping, checking CM/attempting to check CP again, and BD ED/EOD
R/R/CS: I have a gyno appt today to discuss the return of my terrible periods. (I think I ranted about that somewhere recently.) Not looking forward to that, but I will be asking lots of TTC questions, too!
GTKU: What never fails to turn a bad into a good day for you? A good book, cuddles with DH, or a chocolate milkshake. Or all of the above!
