WAYDTGKU: PNVs, BBT, CM, CP, OPKs, and trying for EOD
R/R/CS: I'm a bit sad that the snow from Jonas is mostly going to miss us but also grateful that I don't live in the northeast where the impact is going to be so severe. I hope that those of you who do live in the impacted areas stay safe and warm.
GTKY: I live in a part of the States that sees snow but infrequently, which means the entire town stops at the first dusting. I typically spend days that we are snowed in alternately going outside to marvel that there's actually snow, picking snowball fights with DH and the boys if there's enough, and curling up on the couch under some blankets with a good book or movie/popcorn when the boys nap.
R/R/CS:back to charting. I'm still trying to confirm O.
***QUESTION ****
I know that OPKs aren't always reliable and I know fertile CM can happen at any time but, does cervical position "lie"? If your cervix is high soft and open then is it a definite that ovulation is about to occur?
GTKY: In honor of Snowmageddon, if you are/were snowed in for a few days, what would you do to pass the time?
Well. We are snowed in right now. I live in a very rural area so it is harder to salt and plow our country roads. Yesterday the stores pretty much sold out of bread, milk, and snow shovels. It was insane. And then my DH (damn husband ) wanted to go look for f-ing SLEDS at 7 pm last night for our son. Ain't no way there's a sled still on a shelf in a 9 mile radius. He's nuts.
I don't think my day will change much despite the snow storm really unless, we lose power or something.
R/R/CS: a few things today. I posted earlier this week that I thought my Mabis BBT needed a new battery. Well, did some testing outside of my temp time yesterday. It works just fine, I'm just unable to hear the beeps. I dont know which is worse. I'm only 33!!!
My first month of charting BBT feels like a fail because my toddler has not slept through the night in over a week. I've been taking my temps, but they aren't consistent due to being up all hours and disturbed sleep patterns. 3 weeks ago I didn't know the first thing about BBT charting and now I'm super pissed about all my open circles.
GTKY: In honor of Snowmageddon, if you are/were snowed in for a few days, what would you do to pass the time?
I live in the south (NC) and everything is closed today. Lots of talk on losing power because we get a ton of ice. Already a sheet of ice out there. I have my heat cranked in the event that we do lose power so the house is warmer. i just bought a new book yesterday. I have a bunch of red wine which is scientifically proven to help get KTFU.
WAYDTGKU: temping, sex once AF is completely gone - probably tonight or tomorrow, PNV+DHA
R/R/CS: So I just started temping and my temps are already way off. I know you have to wait to see a pattern, but I'm hoping my fragmented sleep won't completely mess this up. Yesterday was 97.96 and today was 97.30.
GTKY: In honor of Snowmageddon, if you are/were to be snowed in for a few days, what would you do to pass the time? Well, truthfully we'll never be "snowed in" where I live. It's the norm for us. Buuuuttttt....if it happened and if I didn't have a 2 year old to keep busy, I'd be snuggled up re-reading all the Harry Potter books which is my goal before baby #2 comes along.
R/R/CS: Not much going on here today... just waiting for a few high temps and some CH. If FF is right, this is the best timing we've had, so I'm hopeful. But also trying to be realistic so I don't get too disappointed. I hate this time in the cycle.
GTKY: We're on the edge of an inch or 5 inches. They're not really sure where we are. Honestly, we'll watch movies and snuggle. I have a DS who is almost 3 and last year the only way he would play in the snow is if we were pulling him in a sled. So hopefully this year he'll actually play, otherwise it's just a really intense workout for me and my DH.
@H4aPartyof5 my DH just got a snowblower and he is so excited for some measurable snow, so I'm hoping we get just enough for him to use it, but not enough to cause damage. We have old (huge) trees in our yard so they always make me nervous!
CD:42!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Still waiting.... Not turning OPKs and BBT is staying the same. I think my body is frozen in time.
WAYDTGKU: OPK, BBT, PNV....praying
R/R/CS: This maybe a serious newbie question, but is it normal to have 96.xx temps? It seems that this is all I have! I have only been temping for 8 days, but I just have noticed that most people are at least in the 97 range, even WTO. Could this mean I am a mouth breather? I really have no idea, but wanted to at least ask!
GTKY: In honor of Snowmageddon, if you are/were to be snowed in for a few days, what would you do to pass the time? I LOVE board games and wine, so in the hopes that we thought to stock up on wine, I would say some apples to apples, cranium, cards against humanity...followed by binge watching some cheesy show that I am addicted to. Currently it would be the netflix series Jessica Jones, I am obsessed! I also have a weird love for cheesy CW shows like Roswell, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Gossip Girl! Easy and brainless way to pass the time.

WAYDTGKU: all the things... Adding pre-seed to the arsenal this month to avoid any worries over a certain oral lubricant.... Lol
R/R/CS: not much, just waiting for AF to GTFO. Happy we told MIL that next week was not good for us for her to visit. Also low-key smug that now she has to deal with snow but annoyed we are going to have to hear her complain. Seriously .... It's to the extent where you call to ask a question and she just can't handle my because the weather is bad. When we got married and my wedding planner was talking to her about the rehearsal dinner that mil was in charge of there were a few weeks where communication could not happen because the weather was bad. I actually bought my planner a "sorry for my MIL" gift lol.

I live in Florida:) it's going to rain today and a be a nice weekend (slightly chilly as in I might put in a sweatshirt and possibly sneakers instead of flips flops). We have plans to hit the dog park. The girl who adopted the brother of our adopted puppy want wants to have a sibling reunion.
@iceandsnowflakes29 CP is not always a reliable for me. Last cycle it didn't even come down after ovulation. So I'll check it in combination with everything else but won't use it as a sign of O on its own.
Month/Cycle: 7/7
CD: 17
WAYDTGKU: All the things
R/R/CS: Temp spike this morning! I likely ovulated yesterday but I think it was either very early in the morning or overnight.
GTKY: In honor of Snowmageddon, if you are/were snowed in for a few days, what would you do to pass the time? I heard on the radio that their expecting a bit of a baby boom related to the storm! Good luck to you ladies that are getting hit with the snow. The weather is nice where I am today but I would probably just cuddle up with a book if I was snowed in.

@Zoey1019 If you look in my charts (November I think), I had a lot of pre-O temps in the 96 range. That was my first month temping and it gave me a lot of anxiety that they were low, but I got a lot of reassurance here that it was completely normal. Maybe next cycle try temping vaginally and see if there's a difference? I hope you O soon!
@furbabymom2007 I have similar MIL issues...oh man....also I live in Florida as well! I feel bad talking to my friends up north now, all it affects for me is whether I get to ride my bike because its raining this weekend! I love my state, the weather right now is amazing.

@Zoey1019 I think that some people are consistently in the 96s... I sometimes dip down right before O. Can you have DH take his temp and see if it seems low to test the thermometer? Are you getting the same temps over and over again or is it still fluctuating and just staying low. Feel free to attach your chart
Or Maybe try temping vaginally next cycle if you think you are a mouth breather?
@jparli thank you! I do see that now, phew! I thought i was just oddly cold. The other thing I struggle with is taking temp at the same time ever day. My times varies between 430-6 because I am a super light sleeper. Hopefully that won't cause to many problems. Have you temped vaginally? sounds intimidating, but then again, so do all of this before I started lurking here!

@Zoey1019 I haven't temped vaginally since I have been consistently seeing a temp shift. I have a toddler, so my sleep is really erratic. I set my alarm for 3 am, temp and go back to sleep. That way if I'm up at 4 for the day or 6 for the day, it doesn't matter!
WAYDTGKU: Nothing for right now. TTA this cycle before our trip next month.
R/R/CS: I know it's not Tuesday, but my ute is being a TW. I spotted for 2 days before AF and then spotted for 2 days after. No spotting so far today, FX. I usually spot for a few hours before the flood gates open and then maybe for a day at the tail end so this is new and I'm not a fan. NBR but I got a caraf for the kuerig and I love it. I use the re-usable k-cup/filter. I think there are actual special caraf size pods but I'm just filling up the filter with more coffee than usual and it seems to be coming out strong enough. It's not as good as the french press but hey, it's a new toy
GTKY: In honor of Snowmageddon, if you are/were to be snowed in for a few days, what would you do to pass the time? Ilive right where the bullseye is supposed to hit. They're saying 2+ ft of snow. I went to Syracuse in upstate NY so I'm pretty good with driving in snow but Baltimore just shuts down. It's not even supposed to start until tonight and it's pretty much a ghost town out there. DH has a jeep so we're rarely "snowed in" but I'm looking forward to it. He's making his famous chili and we're gonna netflix and chill all weekend, literally and figuratively.

WAYDTGKU: pnv, bbt, lots of water, maybe mucinex, and OPKs probably starting around CD 10
R/R/CS: well not much today, just waiting for AF to gtfo. I did have a temp jump this morning which is so weird... Like above last cycles cover line even! I went from 96.78yesterday to 97.32 today - WTF!? I even took it twice to be sure it wasn't screwing with me and the second time it was slightly different but just barely which leads me to believe it was accurate. I'm so confused.
GTKY: In honor of Snowmageddon, if you are/were to be snowed in for a few days, what would you do to pass the time? I will not be snowed in, although we've had our fair share already. I like to watch Netflix, Orange is the new Black is my latest addiction. Other than that DH and I are video game junkies so we always have that as a back up plan.
GTKY: In honor of Snowmageddon, if you are/were to be snowed in for a few days, what would you do to pass the time? Cry because I have lived in the South my entire life and wouldn't know what to do haha.. Seriously though probably find some show on Netflix and marathon it with DH.

R/R/CS: Just agreed to take on a new foster dog...I think I've officially lost my mind. Hoping this girl doesn't mess with my sleep/temps/stress level!
GTKY: In honor of Snowmageddon, if you are/were to be snowed in for a few days, what would you do to pass the time? I'm not a big baker, but anytime we get enough snow/ice to be stuck inside, I always end up baking! And binge watching TV.
Well, my phone was an absolute bear trying to highlight and copy that this morning!
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD: 14
WAYDTGKU: most of the things except CP. sleepy me POAS this morning instead of tomorrow, so whoops! Hopefully that doesn't mess with my CBAD OPK results for the cycle!
R/R/CS: ugh, my temps are no more regulated after switching to temping vaginally. I know that's understandable with the longer cycle, but I was kind of hoping for a magically prettier chart this cycle. *pout*. Hopefully it drops back down in the AM and evens out this weekend or early next week so that I can see approaching O and then the temp shift clearly.
GTKY: well, depends on if I have power or not, but reading would be involved. Probably some games during daylight hours. And if there was no power/internet, some extra sexy time would probably happen because, you know, DH would be bored!
R/R/CS: I took my first EPO pill yesterday...OMG worst side effects ever! So glad I didn't take them before work. I won't go into details but it wasn't pretty. I'm still recovering. I'm suppose to be leaving for girls weekend right now but trying to get the energy to pack a bag.
GTKY: In honor of Snowmageddon, if you are/were to be snowed in for a few days, what would you do to pass the time? Once AF leaves...Sex:) I love board games and my new found love...adult coloring books.
@Zoey1019 I have temps in the 96 range occasionally, usually on nights when I slept REALLY well and had no alcohol. It seems like everyone's temp range is different, so I wouldn't worry as long as you are able to see a shift. If not, you could always try temping vaginally, though I haven't myself.
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: 1
WAYDTGKTFU: Temping and PNVs in a few days once AF is no more
R/R/CS: On to Cycle 2. Hoping to personify "you're regular until you're not" this month, because if old patterns hold we'll be spending my whole FW visiting dear friends in a small apartment in NYC.
GTKY: I'm in RI, so while it doesn't look like we'll be snowed in this storm, I have been many times. Standard plan is booze, help H shovel, watch a movie together, and make an exciting meal of some sort. I like being snowed in, but I've been extraordinarily lucky to avoid power outages the last few years. When that hits, it's absolutely miserable. My new home doesn't have underground lines, so I'm nervous, but if we avoided them last winter hopefully I'll be good.
R/R/CS: kids school is closed for snow which means I have to use a vacation day for work. Last year I had to use 8 vacation days just for kids snow days. I hate that. Also my dh is supposed to be flying from pitsburgh to Raleigh today but southwest and jetblue have cancelled all of their flights through sunday.... waiting to see what delta does.
GTKY: In honor of Snowmageddon, if you are/were to be snowed in for a few days, what would you do to pass the time?
@MrsDho11 thanks for sharing your chart it makes me feel better seeing other people have jumpy temps like mine, I thought temping vaginally would help too but I couldn't convince myself to take that plunge. FX for more steady temps for us all!!
R/R/CS: It's Friday yay!!! I have to go to the dmv today to register my car and I'm really dreading it. I'm really looking forward to the weekend though. DH scored some free tickets to a comedian that's in town tomorrow night. There's definitely perks to him working at the local news station. I love it!
GTKY: In honor of Snowmageddon, if you are/were to be snowed in for a few days, what would you do to pass the time?
Snowed in for a few days...I wish! I live in an area where snow is very common and the city never shuts down. It would have to be really really bad. I also work in the medical field so there's no cancelling of work when it's snowing. BUT, if it happened to be my day off and it was snowing I would probably snuggle up in my sweatpants and watch netflix all day. Maybe cook something special or bake to pass the time.

WAYDTGKU: Just got a positive OPK, so....umm...snow plowing. lots and lots of snow plowing.
R/R/CS: I thought I lost my OPK in the office, you guys! I couldn't find it in my purse, and I was like "OH DEAR GOD! Someone is going to find a random OPK, just chilling on my office floor. And I'm going to be like:
or I'd probably actually just play it off like:
GTKY: I live in a Southern city, where it occasionally snows and triggers ultimate chaos. DH and I will both be leaving work early and probably "snowed in". Going to pick up some takeout, put our dog in a cute sweater and go for a walk, and then probably lots of BD. Perfect timing for a child named Jonas (that is the winter storm's name)!
Morning all! I just sat in non-moving traffic for 45 minutes...grrrr....
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: 13
WAYDTGKU: temping, PNV, green tea, ooh and we tried Pre Seed last night!, OPKs can kiss my ass
R/R/CS: I'm in rare form today. Pre-Seed was fun. I stopped at Wal-Mart on my way home and they had one tube left so I got it. I didn't tell DH but he was looking at my receipt before we BD and was like "what lubricant did you buy for $20?!?!" lol. Also, I seriously hate, hate, hate the Wondfo OPKs. I've tried 4 so far this cycle...here's a summary of how that went down
CD6 (just to get a baseline): faint line (negative)
CD 11: failed (weird coloring all up and down the stick)
CD 12: no freakin' idea (much darker line than before, but not darker than control)-however the line seemed wider if that means anything? Prob not
CD13: negative
Am I just missing the "surge"? Possibility of being anovulatory? So confused! Also, FF was predicting today as O day, and my temps are still all over the place (see chart if you want)
Also, I noticed a temp drop yesterday, but it wasn't super significant. How much of a temp change is considered significant?
GTKY: Normally I would kind of like the idea of being snowed in...I still remember the blizzard of 1993 here (as a kid, obvi). However, I have to teach at the gym tomorrow at 8:30am, and I have to work Sunday plus read at church, so I gots stuff to do and ain't nobody got time for dat! Seriously though, play with DD, enjoy some family time with the 3 of us. Watch tv, eat bad food, etc.
Edit to add more of my annoying questions. Sorry guys, I swear I'll learn and get it together before next cycle.
*Lurking from TWW* @Pretzel2plus1 - We got a new dishwasher over the summer, it's a Bosch and it's amazing! I never thought I'd love/rave over a dishwasher, but OMG this one is amazeballs! It has the 3rd rack which is so convenient and it's dang near silent. I can't speak highly enough about it!
@DiFazette911-Is that Kim Richards in your gif? I love RHOBH! (she looks much better in your gif than she does lately!)
@jparli1-we plan to take our 14 month old out in the sled this weekend. DH wanted to go somewhere with hills, and I'm like, uhhh, we'll just be pulling her around..the backyard is fine!
@mrscorker-stay safe! Also, I JUST learned what "Netflix and chill" means. I'm a professor at a university, and one of my colleagues said it in class (literally talking about watching Netflix) and couldn't understand why everyone was cracking up.
WAYDTGKU: pnv's, opks, bbt, sex EOD beg CD8, fertility tea, also started EPO and debating preseed or mucinex. My temps also have been in 96 range this cycle @Zoey1019 - I'm using a MABIS bbt this cycle and last cycle i had used a different one and my temps were very different. I might try temping vaginally next cycle if this one isn't successful
R/R/CS: this may be a dumb question, but if you use EPO/mucinex etc to help thin your CM, does your CM become an unreliable source?
GTKY: In honor of Snowmageddon, if you are/were to be snowed in for a few days, what would you do to pass the time?
The weather reports vary drastically for my area so I have no idea what to expect. - NJ here - I am prepared to bunker down and catch up on some shows I've Dvr'd and spend quality time with DS/SO. That all goes out the window if we lose power - at which point I will have to figure out creative ways to keep a 2 year old busy in the dark...
@atcwag That is such a good idea about the HP books. I should make a book list and go through it, or find a long series like HP. OR read HP again! It has been awhile..
@Zoey1019 I didn't think I was a mouth breather, but after seeing that my temps almost never went above 97.15 and hit the 96s frequently, I decided something was up. I may just not be used to it yet but I'm not a fan of temping vaginally. BUT I am a fan of these accurate temps! It may be worth a shot. Also sorry that you're still in limbo-land
@MrsDho11 That stinks that even with vag temping, you have the rocky mountain chart. I hope it evens out, or at least the temp shift is noticeable.
@dogmomwantinghuman I need to get one of those coloring books I decided. They look so fun! Do you use colored pencils?
@houseofsetters Congrats on the foster dog! Even if it's disrupting, that's such a good thing you're doing! Do you have other dogs? I am not knowledgeable about dogs at all, but are "setters" a type of dog?
@pretzel2plus1 I'm pretty sure these dishwashers are crazy expensive, but yesterday I saw a commercial for a Bosch with a top third rack and man, that was a sexy dishwasher..
@MRSCORKER yay for using a reusable kcup! I heard kcups are so bad for the environment and such that the guy who invented them actually regrets it. I still use them though...I need to get a reusable. Or there are companies that make biodegradable ones.
@Xstatic3333 I feel ya on the power outage in winter thing. It's scary to have no heat or anything.
I am 99.99% sure I ovulated so I'm going to move over I guess..although I didn't get CH and I'm annoyed.
@orangeEv yes I use colored pencils. Some of the pages are very details I would be surprised if anyone used anything else. I was intimidated at first but now I have the attitude "it's my thing I don't care if it's "perfect". I'm by no means an artist but it's very relaxing.

@Marley629 I use a mabis as well! Even though my temps are low, I am happy because they aren't really all over the place, hopefully I will see the shift and it won't be a problem!

GTKY: In honor of Snowmageddon, if you are/were to be snowed in for a few days, what would you do to pass the time? No snow where I live!! But I would just netflix, and maybe work on learning to sew again if it was several days of being cooped up.

@MrsDho11 Yes, I heard the same thing about the K-Cups which is what prompted me to get the reusable one. I think the new cups for the 2.0 are more environmentally friendly but I'm not sure.

R/R/CS: Went to go take my temp this morning and I got the Low Battery screen! I swear, the temping gods are against me.
GTKY: In honor of Snowmageddon, if you are/were to be snowed in for a few days, what would you do to pass the time? We're smack in the bullseye (or 15 cases of wine area if you've seen that graphic) in Northern VA. Heading over to my in-laws to hunker down for the weekend because they can't shovel, but they do have lovely fireplaces. So, we're packing up food, the two dogs and everything we'll need for the next few days and getting over to there pretty soon (they live literally 3 miles away so not a huge deal). One thing I'm not thrilled about is DH is looking forward to using their hot tub. That's a major TTC no-no, especially around this time of the month. Not sure I'm going to be able to stop him though since he's doing all the shoveling. Currently making my way through re-reading Harry Potter so plan to continue that all weekend.
@MRSCORKER - I think you mean @OrangeEv ! I was so confused for a minute there going "I haven't responded to people yet, and I don't remember saying anything about k-cups. I mean, I know my memory is bad, but..."

WAYDTGKU: PNVs, BBT, CM, CP, OPKs, and trying for EOD
R/R/CS: I'm a bit sad that the snow from Jonas is mostly going to miss us but also grateful that I don't live in the northeast where the impact is going to be so severe. I hope that those of you who do live in the impacted areas stay safe and warm.
GTKY: I live in a part of the States that sees snow but infrequently, which means the entire town stops at the first dusting. I typically spend days that we are snowed in alternately going outside to marvel that there's actually snow, picking snowball fights with DH and the boys if there's enough, and curling up on the couch under some blankets with a good book or movie/popcorn when the boys nap.

WAYDTGKU: blah.
R/R/CS:back to charting. I'm still trying to confirm O.
***QUESTION ****
I know that OPKs aren't always reliable and I know fertile CM can happen at any time but, does cervical position "lie"? If your cervix is high soft and open then is it a definite that ovulation is about to occur?
GTKY: In honor of Snowmageddon, if you are/were snowed in for a few days, what would you do to pass the time?
Well. We are snowed in right now. I live in a very rural area so it is harder to salt and plow our country roads. Yesterday the stores pretty much sold out of bread, milk, and snow shovels. It was insane. And then my DH (damn husband ) wanted to go look for f-ing SLEDS at 7 pm last night for our son. Ain't no way there's a sled still on a shelf in a 9 mile radius. He's nuts.
I don't think my day will change much despite the snow storm really unless, we lose power or something.
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD: 10
WAYDTGKU: nothing new
R/R/CS: a few things today. I posted earlier this week that I thought my Mabis BBT needed a new battery. Well, did some testing outside of my temp time yesterday. It works just fine, I'm just unable to hear the beeps. I dont know which is worse. I'm only 33!!!
My first month of charting BBT feels like a fail because my toddler has not slept through the night in over a week. I've been taking my temps, but they aren't consistent due to being up all hours and disturbed sleep patterns. 3 weeks ago I didn't know the first thing about BBT charting and now I'm super pissed about all my open circles.
GTKY: In honor of Snowmageddon, if you are/were snowed in for a few days, what would you do to pass the time?
I live in the south (NC) and everything is closed today. Lots of talk on losing power because we get a ton of ice. Already a sheet of ice out there. I have my heat cranked in the event that we do lose power so the house is warmer. i just bought a new book yesterday. I have a bunch of red wine which is scientifically proven to help get KTFU.
All the sex to those of you getting snowed in.
CD: 6
WAYDTGKU: temping, sex once AF is completely gone - probably tonight or tomorrow, PNV+DHA
R/R/CS: So I just started temping and my temps are already way off. I know you have to wait to see a pattern, but I'm hoping my fragmented sleep won't completely mess this up. Yesterday was 97.96 and today was 97.30.
GTKY: In honor of Snowmageddon, if you are/were to be snowed in for a few days, what would you do to pass the time? Well, truthfully we'll never be "snowed in" where I live. It's the norm for us. Buuuuttttt....if it happened and if I didn't have a 2 year old to keep busy, I'd be snuggled up re-reading all the Harry Potter books which is my goal before baby #2 comes along.
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD: 17 (FF says 2dpo, but no CH yet)
WAYDTGKFU: tempting, CM, CP, OPKs
R/R/CS: Not much going on here today... just waiting for a few high temps and some CH. If FF is right, this is the best timing we've had, so I'm hopeful. But also trying to be realistic so I don't get too disappointed. I hate this time in the cycle.
GTKY: We're on the edge of an inch or 5 inches. They're not really sure where we are. Honestly, we'll watch movies and snuggle. I have a DS who is almost 3 and last year the only way he would play in the snow is if we were pulling him in a sled. So hopefully this year he'll actually play, otherwise it's just a really intense workout for me and my DH.
@H4aPartyof5 my DH just got a snowblower and he is so excited for some measurable snow, so I'm hoping we get just enough for him to use it, but not enough to cause damage. We have old (huge) trees in our yard so they always make me nervous!
Month/Cycle:1/1
CD:42!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Still waiting.... Not turning OPKs and BBT is staying the same. I think my body is frozen in time.
WAYDTGKU: OPK, BBT, PNV....praying
R/R/CS: This maybe a serious newbie question, but is it normal to have 96.xx temps? It seems that this is all I have! I have only been temping for 8 days, but I just have noticed that most people are at least in the 97 range, even WTO. Could this mean I am a mouth breather? I really have no idea, but wanted to at least ask!
GTKY: In honor of Snowmageddon, if you are/were to be snowed in for a few days, what would you do to pass the time?
I LOVE board games and wine, so in the hopes that we thought to stock up on wine, I would say some apples to apples, cranium, cards against humanity...followed by binge watching some cheesy show that I am addicted to. Currently it would be the netflix series Jessica Jones, I am obsessed! I also have a weird love for cheesy CW shows like Roswell, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Gossip Girl! Easy and brainless way to pass the time.

R/R/CS: not much, just waiting for AF to GTFO. Happy we told MIL that next week was not good for us for her to visit. Also low-key smug that now she has to deal with snow but annoyed we are going to have to hear her complain. Seriously .... It's to the extent where you call to ask a question and she just can't handle my because the weather is bad. When we got married and my wedding planner was talking to her about the rehearsal dinner that mil was in charge of there were a few weeks where communication could not happen because the weather was bad. I actually bought my planner a "sorry for my MIL" gift lol.

I heard on the radio that their expecting a bit of a baby boom related to the storm! Good luck to you ladies that are getting hit with the snow. The weather is nice where I am today but I would probably just cuddle up with a book if I was snowed in.

WAYDTGKU: Nothing for right now. TTA this cycle before our trip next month.
R/R/CS: I know it's not Tuesday, but my ute is being a TW. I spotted for 2 days before AF and then spotted for 2 days after. No spotting so far today, FX. I usually spot for a few hours before the flood gates open and then maybe for a day at the tail end so this is new and I'm not a fan.
NBR but I got a caraf for the kuerig and I love it. I use the re-usable k-cup/filter. I think there are actual special caraf size pods but I'm just filling up the filter with more coffee than usual and it seems to be coming out strong enough. It's not as good as the french press but hey, it's a new toy
GTKY: In honor of Snowmageddon, if you are/were to be snowed in for a few days, what would you do to pass the time?
I live right where the bullseye is supposed to hit. They're saying 2+ ft of snow. I went to Syracuse in upstate NY so I'm pretty good with driving in snow but Baltimore just shuts down. It's not even supposed to start until tonight and it's pretty much a ghost town out there. DH has a jeep so we're rarely "snowed in" but I'm looking forward to it. He's making his famous chili and we're gonna netflix and chill all weekend, literally and figuratively.

I went from 96.78yesterday to 97.32 today - WTF!? I even took it twice to be sure it wasn't screwing with me and the second time it was slightly different but just barely which leads me to believe it was accurate. I'm so confused.
GTKY: In honor of Snowmageddon, if you are/were to be snowed in for a few days, what would you do to pass the time?
I will not be snowed in, although we've had our fair share already. I like to watch Netflix, Orange is the new Black is my latest addiction. Other than that DH and I are video game junkies so we always have that as a back up plan.

R/R/CS: ugh, my temps are no more regulated after switching to temping vaginally. I know that's understandable with the longer cycle, but I was kind of hoping for a magically prettier chart this cycle. *pout*. Hopefully it drops back down in the AM and evens out this weekend or early next week so that I can see approaching O and then the temp shift clearly.
GTKY: well, depends on if I have power or not, but reading would be involved. Probably some games during daylight hours. And if there was no power/internet, some extra sexy time would probably happen because, you know, DH would be bored!

GTKY: I'm in RI, so while it doesn't look like we'll be snowed in this storm, I have been many times. Standard plan is booze, help H shovel, watch a movie together, and make an exciting meal of some sort. I like being snowed in, but I've been extraordinarily lucky to avoid power outages the last few years. When that hits, it's absolutely miserable.

Snowed in for a few days...I wish! I live in an area where snow is very common and the city never shuts down. It would have to be really really bad. I also work in the medical field so there's no cancelling of work when it's snowing. BUT, if it happened to be my day off and it was snowing I would probably snuggle up in my sweatpants and watch netflix all day. Maybe cook something special or bake to pass the time.

WAYDTGKU: temping, PNV, green tea, ooh and we tried Pre Seed last night!, OPKs can kiss my ass
R/R/CS: I'm in rare form today. Pre-Seed was fun. I stopped at Wal-Mart on my way home and they had one tube left so I got it. I didn't tell DH but he was looking at my receipt before we BD and was like "what lubricant did you buy for $20?!?!" lol. Also, I seriously hate, hate, hate the Wondfo OPKs. I've tried 4 so far this cycle...here's a summary of how that went down
CD6 (just to get a baseline): faint line (negative)
CD 11: failed (weird coloring all up and down the stick)
CD 12: no freakin' idea (much darker line than before, but not darker than control)-however the line seemed wider if that means anything? Prob not
CD13: negative
Am I just missing the "surge"? Possibility of being anovulatory? So confused! Also, FF was predicting today as O day, and my temps are still all over the place (see chart if you want)
Also, I noticed a temp drop yesterday, but it wasn't super significant. How much of a temp change is considered significant?
GTKY: Normally I would kind of like the idea of being snowed in...I still remember the blizzard of 1993 here (as a kid, obvi). However, I have to teach at the gym tomorrow at 8:30am, and I have to work Sunday plus read at church, so I gots stuff to do and ain't nobody got time for dat! Seriously though, play with DD, enjoy some family time with the 3 of us. Watch tv, eat bad food, etc.
Edit to add more of my annoying questions. Sorry guys, I swear I'll learn and get it together before next cycle.
@Pretzel2plus1 - We got a new dishwasher over the summer, it's a Bosch and it's amazing! I never thought I'd love/rave over a dishwasher, but OMG this one is amazeballs! It has the 3rd rack which is so convenient and it's dang near silent. I can't speak highly enough about it!
@iceandsnowflakes29-Ha! Any luck finding sleds?
@DiFazette911-Is that Kim Richards in your gif? I love RHOBH! (she looks much better in your gif than she does lately!)

I might try temping vaginally next cycle if this one isn't successful
R/R/CS: this may be a dumb question, but if you use EPO/mucinex etc to help thin your CM, does your CM become an unreliable source?

@atcwag That is such a good idea about the HP books. I should make a book list and go through it, or find a long series like HP. OR read HP again! It has been awhile..
@Zoey1019 I didn't think I was a mouth breather, but after seeing that my temps almost never went above 97.15 and hit the 96s frequently, I decided something was up. I may just not be used to it yet but I'm not a fan of temping vaginally. BUT I am a fan of these accurate temps! It may be worth a shot. Also sorry that you're still in limbo-land
@MrsDho11 That stinks that even with vag temping, you have the rocky mountain chart. I hope it evens out, or at least the temp shift is noticeable.
@dogmomwantinghuman I need to get one of those coloring books I decided. They look so fun! Do you use colored pencils?
@houseofsetters Congrats on the foster dog! Even if it's disrupting, that's such a good thing you're doing! Do you have other dogs? I am not knowledgeable about dogs at all, but are "setters" a type of dog?
@pretzel2plus1 I'm pretty sure these dishwashers are crazy expensive, but yesterday I saw a commercial for a Bosch with a top third rack and man, that was a sexy dishwasher..
@MRSCORKER yay for using a reusable kcup! I heard kcups are so bad for the environment and such that the guy who invented them actually regrets it. I still use them though...I need to get a reusable. Or there are companies that make biodegradable ones.
@Xstatic3333 I feel ya on the power outage in winter thing. It's scary to have no heat or anything.

R/R/CS: I'm mad at my chart (but I guess really my body). I feel like yesterday should have been O day, but my temp this morning wasn't above coverline at all and CM is drying up. I'm afraid I geared up to O and then nothing happened... I just have to wait and see what happens tomorrow.

GTKY: In honor of Snowmageddon, if you are/were to be snowed in for a few days, what would you do to pass the time? No snow where I live!! But I would just netflix, and maybe work on learning to sew again if it was several days of being cooped up.

R/R/CS: Went to go take my temp this morning and I got the Low Battery screen! I swear, the temping gods are against me.
GTKY: In honor of Snowmageddon, if you are/were to be snowed in for a few days, what would you do to pass the time? We're smack in the bullseye (or 15 cases of wine area if you've seen that graphic) in Northern VA. Heading over to my in-laws to hunker down for the weekend because they can't shovel, but they do have lovely fireplaces. So, we're packing up food, the two dogs and everything we'll need for the next few days and getting over to there pretty soon (they live literally 3 miles away so not a huge deal). One thing I'm not thrilled about is DH is looking forward to using their hot tub. That's a major TTC no-no, especially around this time of the month. Not sure I'm going to be able to stop him though since he's doing all the shoveling. Currently making my way through re-reading Harry Potter so plan to continue that all weekend.
