@mokay19 <span class="vanilla-mention-@">@lcsrva </span>Truth is, unfortunately labeling the folder anything else wouldn't have mattered unless I totally weirdly labeled every single file in there, too. The name of the folder was the LEAST of it - it was each little thumbnail and one of them you could practically read the thumbnail even IF the file name had been different. :/ Awkward!
@thefarmerswife0411 Pinterest totally counts! In fact, that's where all the hobbies I wish I had time/energy/knowledge for go! All my someday hobbies. I seriously don't get why it isn't popular for the guys because aren't they supposed to more visual than us? Pinterest is like meth for your eyeballs.
LMFAO!!!!!! Amen girl, or just comical when you're in the mood to search for "TTC HUMOR" :P

@NordyMN89, yes I have read the Hunger Games series. This series is similar to that but with a Cinderella twist to it. Basically, the prince has come of age and needs to find a bride before he takes control of the country. Since he has grown up secluded from the world, they hold a selection amoungst the young women in the country. 35 women are chosen to live in the castle and date the prince. Eventually they are narrowed down to the top 4. During this time there are two rebel groups that have been attacking the palace and the country. That is a brief description of it. There is so much more background and history that has gotten them to where they are now.
@babymish, I'm currently using Wondfos and have used Dollar/drugstore OPKs in the past.
I started off testing once a day around 10:00, but the last three cycles, I've tested with the OPKs 2 to 3 times a day about 2-3 days before my projected O as well (usually around 10:00, 2:30, and 8:00).
@beary67@PennStateCait I don't know why my link didn't work, so here's a screen shot instead.
@momstahp Yeah, I generally try to temp at 6:30, but the last two days I woke up at 6:00 and temped. I really had to pee and couldn't stay in bed for 30 minutes.
Thanks everyone for your help! Fx that everyone finds themselves KU soon!!

@BusinessWife I'm cracking up at your story, but also feeling for you! When my inlaws came to stay over the holidays we accidentally left the preseed box on the dining room table for a WHOLE DAY!!! We opened it for the first time and totally forgot about the box, then the next day they came to stay and used a hidden key to let themselves in while we were at work. When I found it I was horrifically mortified for 15 seconds, hid the box, then I pulled myself together and vowed to pretend for the rest of my life that it never happened

Yeah I've been here since Nov. and haven't been able to figure out how to link my chart from FF yet, haha! So I can't help you there. I think it's possible your body might be gearing up to O... because in my charting experience, I get a drop in temps before O. I also think if it's your first month charting then you need to make sure you're not one of those people who O early, so make sure you're temping at least starting when your period ends (I chart my whole cycle, but I temp orally). Lots of us here don't O until in the cd 20s and some of us later, so I wouldn't be worried. Keep using those opks and temping! If you often get up to go to the bathroom at 6 am, I would start temping at 6:00 or 5:30 next cycle! Temping can be a bit stressful and confusing day by day but by the end of the cycle it gives you an amazing data graph, and each cycle of data helps you become more and more knowledgeable about your cycle!

Mostly stayed away today because I was just soooo cranky about all those shitty posts yesterday. I didn't want to deal with them again today if they were happening.

WAYDTGKU: Waiting on AF, first acupuncture appointment tomorrow afternoon.
R/R/CS: Nervous about the acupuncture tomorrow. Period's being weird this month. Nothing big though.
GTKY: I think of cooking as a bit of a hobby. I also used to cross-stitch, which probably isn't interesting, but I haven't really done it since we got the cats because they attack the strings while I do!

@Whiska Thanks for your positive thoughts I'm clinging to this hope that maybe the procedure will help with TTC this cycle; I've heard of a couple ladies getting pregnant the cycle of their HSG or HSS (maybe because it dialated their tubes a little?) Here's hoping!

@PennStateCait Thanks for the insight. I started temping earlier in my cycle, but hadn't gotten my Basal Thermometer yet so I discarded those temps cause they were making my chart look like the Himalayas.
