WAYDTGKU: all the things
R/R/CS: I've given up hope that I am O'ing soon. My endless fertile CM and 5-6 flashing smilies are driving me nuts, so I just give up and try not to think about it anymore. DH and I are just going to HIO when we feel like it the rest of the week / weekend if he is feeling up to it (due to his man cold) and see what happens.
GTKY: I currently use iPhone. I am sad they changed the shape and size though, I wish they had kept a smaller size version too, I just hate having a big phone, but I do love iPhones (since I am also a mac user it just seems easier).
CD: 18
WAYDTGKU: temping, CM/CP, OPKs, BD
R/R/CS: CS, please? I had a temp spike yesterday, but not as high as O last cycle, and this morning it was the same (0.01 lower, actually). Both of these temps fit the "three higher than the previous six" rule (even though I'm still waiting on the third), but they're not super high.
GTKY: Are you an iphone, droid or other user? iPhone - I love it!

Testing with RE October 2016

WAYDTGKU: HIO. Started last night and will be doing it ED until the end of my FW. Does anyone get tired of doing it ED?
R/R/CS: This is the BD week. Really FW (from what I've been able to chart temping ) starts on Saturday. And ends on my birthday.
GTKY: Are you an iphone, droid or other user? I'm and Android user. Currently have the Samsung S6. The camera is great (which is why I got it). But the interface is blah and the processor is spotty. I had the HTC one M7 last and I loved it. I should have just upgraded to M9. But this camera was sufficiently better.

WAYDTGKU: Benched this month at DH's request. Doing all the other things to confirm O.
R/R/CS: If I get one more high temp, I think FF will give me CH for CD16. Cue a choir of angels singing. It was causing me anxiety at first, but I'm really glad I started temping. I think we were doing okay using OPKs, but temping just makes things so much clearer.
GTKY: Are you an iphone, droid or other user? iPhone 4 lyfe.

WAYDTGKU: Should probably start to BD at some point........
R/R/CS: I want to get on the EoD bandwagon but I'm sooo tiiiired, DH works so late and it's always past my bedtime when he gets home *sigh* might give it a go tonight... ugh. FW not for a couple more days I think? Who knows! My temp dropped today for the first time. Very exciting! Maybe that'll wake me up a little.
GTKY: Are you an iphone, droid or other user? iPhone. I agree with @oandmplus1 though, I wish they would keep them small for small hands...

R/R/CS: There is a link for my chart in my signature. Not much to check out yet, only on day 3. Shockingly proud that I remembered two days in a row to temp though :P

WAYDTGKU: PNV (just realized I forgot it last night), temping, OPKs, trying for sex ED starting today, we'll see how that goes.
R/R/CS: Nothing today, just hoping to O in the next few days as expected.
GTKY: Are you an iphone, droid or other user? iPhone. I'm kind of sick of it, but almost everyone I know has a iPhone so I will probably never switch because of iMessage and FaceTime features.

WAYDTGKU: bbt, opks, preseed,
checking CM
R/R/CS: So this whole long irregular cycle of not knowing when I'm going to ovulate is so frustrating. If i enter 2 more high temps, I get dotted cross hairs for yesterday. DH has been super busy at work and I've been picking up all the house and child care slack, so so if I truly did O yesterday, then that would be it for our timing.
GTKY: Are you an iphone, droid or other user? iPhone for life. I had a droid briefly and hated it so much I paid full price for an iPhone.

WAYDTGKU: all the things
R/R/CS: My temps have been rocky this cycle. I'm still temping orally so maybe thats why. My allergies have been really bad for the last week so I'm pretty sure some of my temps are inaccurate because I have probably been sleeping with my mouth open
GTKY: Are you an iphone, droid or other user? I had an Android phone for a few years and really hated it. I switched to an iPhone about a year and half ago and will never go back. I love it.

WAYDTGKU: Temps, CM, OPK's, BD at least EOD.
R/R/CS: Excited that I saw a faint line on an OPK yesterday, when I've never seen anything but the test line before. I have absolutely no idea when/if I will O, as my last two cycles have been over 40 days, but since I have had some 28-35 day cycles, I figure it could really happen at any time. I'm really REALLY hoping I do by Monday, or then not until Halloween at least, as I'll be on a business trip M-Th. CM seems to be changing as well, so I'm just happy about some good signs!
GTKY: Are you an iphone, droid or other user? iPhone for me!

WAYDTGKU: Everything
R/R/CS: I had my second temp spike this morning which means I probably ovulated Monday which was CD 13. I have never ovulated that early before but bring on the short cycle!!
GTKY: Are you an iphone, droid or other user? I was a droid user for years (since the beginning of my smart phone usage) but just switched to an IPhone over the summer

WAYDTGKU: Everything (using OPKs again)
R/R/CS: I had a relatively dark OPK yesterday for the first time so maybe I will get an actual positive today but I'm making an effort not to overanalyze and try to predict the future. My husband has been working outside all day and was sore and tired and almost turned down sex last night for the first time ever. I told him I was going to record it in my journal and he wasn't going to let that happen.
GTKY: Are you an iphone, droid or other user? My iPhone5 is my first smartphone and I like it. I'm not sure about the larger sizes either.
Month/cycle: 1
CD: 17
WAYDTGKU: Nothing..
R/R/CS: Last night, my frustrations got the best of me and my husband could sense it. He forced it out of me and then an argument ensued. So, suffice it to say, there's been no sex even though I'm pretty sure I am O'ing today or maybe tomorrow. I am trying to be supportive but it just could not have been at a worse time. I have apologized for being so selfish and I'm just going to call it and say this month is a no-go.
GTKY: Are you an iphone, droid or other user? I use an android. I was just fine with my iPhone but when we upgraded, we went for android and I don't regret it. I'm not too picky, though.
CD:16
WAYDTGKU: Everything
R/R/CS: Still waiting to O. Since I came back from vacation, my temps have been pretty consistent at around ~96.50. Hopefully it spikes up soon! OPK testing for yesterday was negative, so hoping for a positive today.
GTKY: Are you an iphone, droid or other user? I have both, the iphone was given to me by work. IPhone has a great battery life but I like my apps on android

WAYDTGKU: waiting for AF to GTFO
R/R/CS: I don't know what to say. Frustrated and sad.

WAYDTGKU: Temping, charting, not enough sex, CM
R/R/CS: I have dotted CH's for CD13. CD13 is a ridiculously low temp (and open circle) because I took the temp at 4am when I usually temp at 7am (had to be up for a flight). CD14 is almost 2 degrees higher, which I contribute to me coming down with a cold. If I discard CD14, it takes my CH away (which is fine, I really don't think I've O'd yet). If I discard both CD13 and CD14, it moves my CH to CD11. My question is should I discard one or both of those temps, or just leave them in and see how things pan out? Also, my CM doesn't really seem to match up with O'ing yet, but I only chart what CM I see on my underwear.
GTKY: Are you an iphone, droid or other user? Android.
Month/cycle: 3/4 (forgot to type this in so ETA)
CD: 4
WAYDTGKU: Checking CM/CP, BD EOD, no temping this cycle
R/R/CS: AF has seriously been so short and almost symptomless minus headaches since coming off BC. It's basically the exact opposite of what my doctor had prepared me for haha. I know the length of AF doesn't matter but the very light periods mixed with short LP's make me feel like it's going to be a long journey of TTC for us...
GTKY: Are you an iphone, droid or other user?
iPhone! It's actually a funny joke between DH and I because he is a die hard Android user and loathes iPhones! Any time I complain about something my phone is doing he just goes "iPhones.... ugh!" Lol - I'll never switch though!
Month/cycle: 2/2
CD: 20....
WAYDTGKU: HIO EOD, ED since last Friday... I'm so tired of it, but luckily DH performs on command even with his sore back lol. Temping (see rant), CP, CM
R/R/CS: I can't deal with all these inconsistent waking times for temping. At this point, I don't even know which temps to use. This morning I woke up at 3:45 and temp was 97.45, had a hard time going back to sleep, woke up again at my regular alarm at 6:25 and temp was 98.04!! I have notes for several days this cycle with temps from the early waking times and regular waking times, and they are all 0.4-0.6 different from each other within the same day. *Question:* I think next cycle I might have to just use a 3:30 am alarm for temping... but it's always sooooo hard for me to go back to sleep after temping early. Any tips on how to make it easier?
GTKY: Are you an iphone, droid or other user? I
I don't think you're going to be able to tell much until you get a few more temps in there, if it keeps rising I could see that it would look like O already but otherwise it just kind of looks the same as other temps. Unfortunately for me I typically have more than one patch of fertile CM so I don't typically make my assumptions on that alone, but FX those temps keep rising!
CD: 12
WAYDTGKU: I started temping
R/R/CS: I missed the last 3 days of temping due to travel. I just got back from vacation and I am relying heavily on caffeine to get through the work day. We took a trip for DH's birthday. It was initially going to be a long weekend, but during the planning phase we ended up adding a day to both ends of the trip. We went to Zion and Lake Powell. It was a fantastic trip and we kept really busy - a lot of hiking. At one point DH said "I'm glad this isn't your fertile week because it would difficult to have the energy for sex everyday".
GTKY: Are you an iphone, droid or other user? iPhone.
