WTO Monday

@sarah0985 I think your timing still works if you did O! FX for you! 

@felix08 OMG I forgot about Ace of Base! They were my jam.

@teamginger13 I'm sorry they made you go in so early. 

I'm getting very nostalgic reading everyone's GTKY this morning!

Dilynne

@beary67 I think I got it at wal mart. I'll have to pick one up. Thanks for the insight! I also appreciate you taking the time to answer everybody. Makes me feel included

ETA: My grammar is atrocious.

beary67

@dilynne no problem!  I just went to Walmart website and it looks like they sell the Mabis there too.  It's showing as $8.44 online.  It's currently $7.55 on Amazon and it ships with Prime (if you are a prime member).  I hope this helps!

@beary67

They're so fun!  Right now they're on their last tour for a while, so tell your brother to go see them if they hit a city nearby.

**lurking from TWW**

@Dilynne my temps were off the wall crazy with a reg thermometer from Walmart too. Varied from 99.7 to 97. You can tell when I got my Mabis!

ChaoticWolf

Month/cycle: 2/2

CD: 1. Help.


WAYDTGKU: Just trying not to murder my beloved DH lol.


R/R/CS: Just angry at AF having horrible timing as always.

GTKY - (from yesterday's 2WW) who is your favorite 80s/90s band/singer? I answered yesterday in 2WW but basically Beastie Boys, Guns N Roses, etc.

whiska

Month/cycle: 12/12

CD: 6

WAYDTGKU: nothin

R/R/CS: The last two times I've spoken with my sister I've almost blurted out that we're trying and having trouble ttc.  I don't know why I want to tell her so badly, but I know why I don't (besides the privacy issue): she went through infertility, and then 3 losses, and I just don't want her to have to relive it to comfort me.  
Even though she has three great kids now I know it was probably one of the hardest times in her life and it seems selfish to somehow dig all that up for her again, even indirectly.  I don't know... I guess I'll wait to get to a point where I know I won't regret it.  

GTKY - (from yesterday's 2WW) who is your favorite 80s/90s band/singer?
My favorite artist ever is Fiona Apple


Also really loved Third Eye Blind.  I hear them and immediately I'm 13 again and understand nothing about boys or life.

Also Janet Jackson all day, err day.

vintageandrea90

Sorry guys - going to have to ghost today...working a 12h shift. Doing this on my break lol

**C/S requested**

Month/cycle: 2/3

CD: 13

WAYDTGKU: everything

R/R/CS:

So my temp dipped down pretty low again...but FF is giving me an O date and crosshairs. I took out my really high temp from the other day manually because it was after I got up...but my temp today is way below coverline. How could I have O'ed? If someone is kind enough to take a gander and tell me what in the Lord's name they think this is...I would appreciate it (I don't know how toa ttach the codes..it wont work)

GTKY - (from yesterday's 2WW) who is your favorite 80s/90s band/singer?

Hanson!! I loved those guys..

ChaoticWolf

@vintageandrea90 I think FF is giving you that date because of the ovulation pain and the W CM that you listed. To me, even though I'm a novice, it doesn't look like you've O'd yet, unless your cycles are always super short. 

britters314

@vintageandrea90  I bet it's because you had fertile CM early in your cycle that FF is giving you CH. If you take that out, do they go away? If you get another temp below coverline tomorrow, FF will take your CH away and I'm guessing that is what will happen because it doesn't look like you O'd. Keep HIO!

tentoeturbo

Sorry to post and ghost. Hopefully back later for comments  

Month/cycle: 3 TTCAL

CD: 11

WAYDTGKU: temping, CM, CP, BD

R/R/CS: DH has decided I gave him my cold so now I get to deal with a week of "man flu", ugh.

GTKY - NKOTB all the way! 

vintageandrea90

@TotororyInLove historically my cycles are 22 days and I've gotten positive OPKs and O on CD 8....so that would be right on for me. ...but the temps don't make sense. 

Thanks for taking a look 

Neikoda

20T Sorry for AF. Enjoy your mini-break though. I just found out I have a 3 day weekend so I can't complain either.

Legomymego55 Sorry for the weird cycle. Hopefully everything re-regulates soon. FX for O soon.

teamginger13 Ugh a wasted ultrasound doesn't sound like any fun. Hopefully your next one goes much better., FX for big follicles. 

Dilynne I agree with @sarah0985. Try temping vaginally. It should help stabilize your temps. Also, if you aren't already, make sure to invest in a BBT thermometer. Most women here use the Mabis. 

MamaMunn FX for more high temps. And I completely with you on the DH thing. I barely have mine convinced to HIO tonight. My luck tomorrow might not be as good.

PepperAT FX for two more high temps!

TheJerilu Yay! I'm right there with you today. OPK+ and O pains. Can't wait to move over to TTW.

mokay19 I'm sorry for the long cycle. Hopefully you get an opportunity to talk to your doctor soon.

Marley629 Sounds like you still have time to get another BD session in. And I understand how much it sucks to schedule HIO but if it works, I don't mind. Getting in the mood on command though, not so easy.

mrsdee15 Sorry you aren't feeling well but FX for another high temp. I would imagine those should be fine to take. They shouldn't have any bearing on your temps and if O has already passed, I wouldn't be concerned.

gonetothesea I'm glad you had a blast on vacation but sorry that you missed FW. I'm sure you made some memories that make it worth the trip.

britters314 I'm jealous of your 3 day work week. But I am working from home tomorrow and found out I have Friday off. Yay!

Winnie81 I'm with you on the temps. FX that there's a clear shift for both of us in the next few days.

whiska From personal experience, I would talk to you sister. I felt the same way with my godmother until we had a chance to talk. **TW loss mentioned** She's in her mid-thirties and tried for 3.5 years. One CP, one MC at 4 months. She just recently announced her current PG at 4.5 months and I called to congratulate her. I ended up blurting out that we were having trouble. I found so much comfort in being able to physically speak to her about my medications and side effects and know that she understood exactly how it felt as she was in those shoes just a few months earlier.

vintageandrea90 I sent you way too long of a message because of some concerns I had about your cycle based on previous comments made regarding your cycle. Sorry for the rant in advance.  

Legomymego55

@beary67 Thanks! I am feeling so much better and I think being sick has actually helped my CF so even if I had to deal with feeling like the walking dead for a minute I will take any upside I can get! Also thanks for sharing the type of basal thermometer. I took a break from temping this month, but think I will go back to temping next cycle so I ordered it on Amazon. I have been using an older thermometer because the new ones I had bought all seemed to take my temp after 30 seconds and not after actually getting an accurate read.

beary67

@Legomymego55 I'm glad to hear you are feeling better!!  I'm also happy to hear you ordered the Mabis on Amazon!  I am hopeful that you find the Mabis will give you an accurate reading!

@thefarmerswife0411 you didn't like 98*???  I guess I liked them because I loved watching the show with Nick and Jessica.  Was it Newlyweds or something like that?  I can't remember the title now. 

Ha! IDK why, but I just couldn't get into them as much! I totally remember that show tho! I was a bigger fan of the Ashlee show, remember when she was dating Ryan Cabrera? HA!

Month/cycle: 12/6

CD:  27

WAYDTGKU:  Acupuncture

R/R/CS:  So beyond disappointed and frustrated.  The acupuncture seems to be making things worse - CD 27 and absolutely no sign of ovulation, no CM, nothing.  I thought it was supposed to shorten your cycle, not make it longer???  Anybody have experiences with this?  Probably not going to dish out the money on that again.

GTKY - (from yesterday's 2WW) who is your favorite 80s/90s band/singer?  I was huge into Backstreet Boys in the 90's, lol!

ChaoticWolf

@jenmlangtake2 oh no I thought you had a squinter and a darker line! :-( well, I guess we're cycle day buddies this month.

picklesplease

Month/cycle: 7/7

CD: 1!!!!!



WAYDTGKU: Nothing right now, other than PNVs, diet, and exercise.

R/R/CS: After the whole fiasco with my OBGYN, I have never been happier to see AF. I'm calling this afternoon to get in for CD3 blood work on Wednesday. I was terrified that I was going to have CD3 on the weekend and I'd miss this month. While I wait for AF to leave, I'll consume all of the wine...


GTKY - (from yesterday's 2WW) who is your favorite 80s/90s band/singer?
My taste in music is all over the place. I love the 80s bands like Bon Jovi, White Snake, and AC/DC. I also love 90s music like Sublime, Nirvana, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Aqua, *NSYNC, BSB, Pomeroy (local band), Korn, and Weezer. I love it all!

felix08

@cjt121413 I also still love MMMbop (and Hanson in general)...it may or may not have been the song H and I were introduced to at our reception. Also, ever since I thought about the Cranberries this morning, I've had Zombie in my head. Zoo-oombay zoo-oombay zoo-ombayayay (lol, sorry)
@jenmlangtake2 Hope AF comes for you soon. And just thinking about listening to music on a cassette makes me irritated--how annoying was it to try to find your favorite song!? Techology has come so far...
@nwegman7878 Ugh, I'm totally with you on the doing too much to get KU sentiment. I've been thinking about this recently and it's really been making me angry thinking about how much I'm doing (and all you ladies on this board) compared to all the people who get KU "without trying." Not fair (and now I feel childish, ha...)!! Looking at your chart makes me tired, too--you guys are dedicated! 
@adele85 @JediAlly85 Sorry about CD2 and the cramps that come along with it. It's really unfair that AF is so horrendous--not only are you not KU but you are also in physical misery. And now this is the second time in one post I've complained about things not being fair! 
@beary67 I feel your pain on the OPK/peeing conundrum. So, while WTO, we are supposed to increase liquid intake to help CM but then we have to hold to get a valid OPK!? Not happening, ha! I stopped with the OPKs a few cycles ago due to this very reason.
@clover28 GL with no temping this cycle! I've considered doing that, but figured I'd be kicking myself around O time. You'll have to let us know how it goes.
@thefarmerswife0411 I'm LOLing at your loyalty to your boybands. I was totally the same (as was probably every other girl in my class). Since I was a diehard Hanson fan, there was NO WAY I could be an NSync or BSB fan (even though I, of course, loved all their songs...I could never admit it). 
@sarah0985 I get angry about the impact booze has on my temps, too. Which is silly since I obviously have complete control over that! The temptation is too strong :-)
@kellybean1988 Yes!! So glad there is another Hanson fan. So many Nsync/BSB lovers on here! The 90s definitely produced the best music. Excited to hear about your annual appointment--do you think she will be happy with your temping? I've seen several people on here say that their doctor discourages temping.
@teamginger13 Alanis Morisette was SO good!! Best songs to sing along to as loudly as possible. Sorry about needed an extra u/s.
@mamamunn @PepperAT FX for confirmed O
@marley629 GL meeting your HIO goal. Scheduled sex is the opposite of sexy. I set my alarm from 5:30am this morning so we could get one more in before my (suspected) O today.
@mrsdee15 YES!! I still see Hanson when they tour, too! They are so good live. As far as alka seltzer goes, I know it contains aspirin, so not sure if that's safe for TTC. Which is unfortunate, because that's my go-to cold med, too.
@gonetothesea Sorry about being out this cycle :-( Glad you had a good time on your trip!
@winnie81 My temps are a total mess this cycle, too. Hoping we both are able to see a clear temp shift here soon.
@totoryinlove Sorry about CD1.
@whiska I think it's very kind of you to be so cognizant of how your sister may feel about discussing difficulties TTC. I almost wonder, though, if she would be happy to lend you support--she may feel that being able to share her experience as a way to support her sister is something productive that could come out of her difficulties? Obviously, you know her best! Just a thought. And I totally get not wanting people to know, too. 
@BerkeBaby Sorry about CD1. Enjoy your wine!!

eta CD1 condolences for berkebaby

ChaoticWolf

Oh no @BerkeBaby I was so excited about your temps! Also I didn't realize it until I looked at your chart just now but we were total cycle buddies in February!

No not me! I've been getting BFNs since 9dpo. 17 dpo now so relieved to finally be bleeding. 

Edited because it's "been" not "Ben".

@thefarmerswife0411 OMG I thought Ryan Cabrera was soooo cute!  Also, I was supposed to see Ashlee Simpson in concert but she got in some accident in her hotel room...I think she was roller skating down the halls or something crazy like that and she had to cancel!!  I remember everyone in my town was PISSED! 

beary67

@DumbledoresArmy I don't want to jinx myself, but I started to see an acupuncturist this month to shorten my cycle.  So far, I've had fertile CM the earliest I've ever had it before (started on CD 9--usually don't start until CD 13-15).  I am currently on CD 12 and I have had a "high" on a CBAD, which is also pretty early for me, and that started on CD 11.  No peak, yet.  

I will likely stick with acupuncture if it doesn't work this cycle and give it a try for 2-3 cycles.  Do you know if you have anyplace that offers community acupuncture where you live?  I know that tends to be more cheaper and more reasonable if you are going more often.  

adele85

@BerkeBaby Yes I am with you on that ALL of the WINE!!!

adele85

@felix08 yes, I think because it is ALL unfair!!

vintageandrea90

@nwegman7878 thanks so much! Responded  

DumbledoresArmy

@beary67 That's interesting.... that actually happened to me too this cycle.  TONS of fertile cm around CD 14-15 (never happened that early) but then... no temp shift.    So now I have no idea when / if I will actually ovulate.

CajunSnowWhite89

@aammyy33 I do that all the time. It’s the worst. Sigh.

@nwegman I didn't discover Blink 182 until the 2000s, but I became obsessed with them then!

@beary67 I feel like I have the same problem. If I planned on doing the OPK after work then after the last time I would pee at work I would stop drinking water and make sure I didn't pee again for like 4 hours. It wasn't perfect but I feel like it helped lol. I was also using wondfos so I would also use FMU because I didn't mind wasting them.

@mrsdee15 From what I understand its anything that has NSAIDs in it. I think as long as it doesn't have that then you should be fine. Maybe look into a Tylenol brand cold med if you're worried.

@vintageandrea90 It definitely doesn't look like you O'd yet. I'm not sure why FF hasn't taken away your CH. Maybe after a 3rd low temp tomorrow it may take them away. I'd suggest just keep HIO as if you had never gotten the CH early and see what happens tomorrow. Also, I have no idea how to use the codes either. I always just post a screen shot of my chart if I need a C/S lol.

@berkebaby Yay for CD1. FX you have a better experience with the new doctor this cycle.

Month/Cycle: 34 ish
CD: 6
WAYDTGKU: temping, EOD sex
R/R/CS: I'm pretty chill today actually. 
GTKY: I loved NSYNC, Spice Girls, Brittney, Christina 

cjt121413

@TheJerilu I also liked They Might be Giants. And Dinosaur, Jr. And I'm not sure why they remind me of each other.

@BerkeBaby You thought of some good ones too. Love Sublime and Weezer, especially.

@DumbledoresArmy I'm sorry your cycle is so frustrating. WTO is brutal sometimes.

@whiska I don't know your sis, but do you think maybe she might be glad to have the opportunity to be there for you? I would think, since she's "come through the other side," so to speak, it might not be very painful to talk about anymore. Or even if it is, it might be okay with her if she's able to help you. Fiona Apple was good...I still listen to a couple of her songs quite frequently. Same with Janet haha.

@mrsdee15 I'm sorry you're feeling bad. I'm right there with you. I have been trying to steer clear of stuff with Ibuprofin or other NSAIDs, so basically, I've been taking cold meds with Tylenol. Who knows how the other stuff in them impacts O.

@mwegman7878 I think you and/or your SO deserve an award of some kind for all that BDing.

meilay

Month/cycle: 2/2

CD: 4

WAYDTGKU: nothing quite yet. Really excited for AF to end so I can start RRLT and OPKs

R/R/CS: I'm so excited about the shift in DH's attitude! Last month he was upset with me because I jumped right in to researching how to get to know my body so we can hopefully get KU ASAP. He thought the process should be "chill" (read: lots of sex and nothing else) and all the extra stuff was crazy. He was honestly a little mean about the whole thing, as I know some of you have experienced. Already he is more in my corner as far as supporting whatever I need to do to ease my stress, even if it seems like a lot to him. He still doesn't want to know about FW and such and I'm ok with keeping that to myself for now. 

My only rant is with myself. For some reason I just don't want to drink water! I don't know what's going on. I've tried flavoring it, drinking sparkling water, etc. and I'm just getting more and more dehydrated. I'm usually the water queen so it's weird.

GTKY - (from yesterday's 2WW) who is your favorite 80s/90s band/singer?
Big Prince fan! Also NSync, Destiny's Child, TLC

aammyy33

@cjt121413 I just mean I blame myself for doing the calculating thing every day as AF is still nowhere in sight. Probably not the healthiest thing to be doing, as when I started TTC EDD would have been Oct 3rd, 2016 and has now stretched months past that. And no I've never been pregnant so that date should not be significant to me, and I do realize that over all I have not been "in the game" very long. As @Mrsdaddarrio said, it's just "falling down the rabbit hole", in not the best way!

@sarah0985 I had an appointment last week with my doctor and because I've recently stopped HBC he is saying to wait 6 months before a referral/interventions? So unless something comes up in the blood work I had done: 85 days down, 95 to go!?!

@Mokay19 Sorry about the long cycle.

@Totororyinlove Love the Gifs! Sorry about CD1.

@DumbledoresArmy Sorry about the frustrating cycle. *hugs*

@Berkebaby Enjoy the wine! Glad your labs are going to work out!

Month/cycle: 5/5

CD: 23?

WAYDTGKU: temping and pnvs 

R/R/CS: got a little temp raise today.. @mrsdee15 our ovaries continue to stalk each other! I think I need 2 more high temps though for CH. All I want in this world right now is some dang ff crosshairs. 

GTKY - (from yesterday's 2WW) who is your favorite 80s/90s band/singer?
Nsync and Britney

2Dash

Just want to say I haven't been on for about a week or so because work has been crazy - I feel totally out of it and will try to catch up when I can.

Month/cycle:3/2

CD: 29........

WAYDTGKU: PNV and holding out hope for O this cycle...

R/R/CS: (** children mentioned) I do have a rant... I've been too busy to post ... but also I've been upset at not O'ing and having a long cycle again (last month) after having normal cycles for the past 6-9 cycles.  So I'm a little frustrated.  Also even if I do O soon, which looks unlikely it would be a late December due date which I'm not loving...only because my DS2 was a late December due date and I didn't love being pregnant at that time.  At this point I'm thinking I should wait until I would have a potential 2017 date...I don't know.

GTKY - (from yesterday's 2WW) who is your favorite 80s/90s band/singer?  I don't know if I still love her but in the 80's I was quite little but LOVED Madonna.  I knew all the lyrics and had no idea what they meant!

SpartyCat

Month/cycle: 12/10

CD: 16

WAYDTGKU: temping, OPKs

R/R/CS: I think today might be O day! I had EWCM yesterday & the day before and got a solid smiley on OPK this AM. Really, really hoping as that would mean we hit O-1 and O-2, which would be unusually great timing for us. This is early for me - I usually don't O until CD24ish. 

SpartyCat

@2dash - I was a huge Madonna fan as a kid too! And had nooooo idea what any of the lyrics meant LOL!

Aurora1973

Month/Cycle:  3/4

CD:  3

WAYDTGKU:  Charting, PNV, EPO, Pre-Seed, B6/folic acid, thinking of trying acupuncture

R/R/CS:  Oh holy hell this period was way worse than my previous cycles.  I'm guessing my body is still regulating from coming off of HBC.  I thought I remembered how bad my cramps could be, but no.  Fortunately, AF is still relatively light and short for me; today should be my last day.  It was just a little painful. 

GTKY:  In the early 90s I was into hair bands like Bon Jovi and Def Leppard.  Metallica is a perennial favorite (OH is a huge fan, so I have lots of it on my phone, and it is great to blast at ridiculous levels in the car to combat PMS!).  It was in the 90s that I discovered my favorite band ever, Foo Fighters (my username is a reference to a song of theirs, not to the Disney princess, LOL).  I was also into Stone Temple Pilots, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Soundgarden, etc.
