WAYDTGKU: Temping, CoQ10, OPKs as of yesterday
R/R: I bought the Wondfo OPKs and did the first one yesterday. They say that the best time to test is 2 PM but any time between 10 AM and 4 PM is fine. Um, how are we working women supposed to do these? I can't collect and test in the work bathroom stall!
CS/Q: I guess related to above - can I do my OPKs after I get home from work (around 6:30 or 7)?
GTKY: What activity gets you going on Monday morning? Do you spring out of bed or do you snooze through several alarms? I've never really been a morning person and always struggled to get up in the morning. Weirdly, something that has helped me get up now is temping -- I temp at 6:30 AM before I get out of bed, and I am less tempted to roll over and go back to sleep when I tell myself to get up and write my temp down before I forget it! lol

R/R: We got in a car accident yesterday. Thankfully everyone is ok. I am severely bruised all across my chest and side from the seatbelt. DH got banged up on his right side where all of his current injuries he was almost healed from are
CS/Q: none today
GTKY: What activity gets you going on Monday morning? Do you spring out of bed or do you snooze through several alarm:
I'm not sure I have an answer for this. I usually spring out of bed but I am on of those crazy people who don't even need coffe (I don't drink it at all) to be chipper in the morning.

WAYDTGKU: all the usual. I ran out of RLT, so I need to get some more asap.
R/R: Maybe I finally O'd...? I had a decent spike (again) after a dip yesterday. I also had the slightest bit of spotting yesterday, which I get for O some cycles, so here's hoping! Our timing won't be wonderful if so, but I'll just be happy to know that my body is doing something this cycle!
CS/Q: None today, but I might need a CS tomorrow.
GTKY: I asked this purely for selfish reasons, lol. I have always been a person who snoozes through so many alarms, but I'm actively working on becoming more of a morning person. Or at least a person who can tolerate mornings. This morning I made myself get up at a certain time and get on the exercise bike. I'm also trying to avoid social media until after my shower and I get dressed.

@pretzel2plus1 When I get up early, I start with yoga or stretching or something just for me -- no cell phone or computer. It's nicer than getting stressed immediately. I hope it works for you!
CD: 2 (totally messed up the past few days, see below)
WAYDTGKU: PNV, Preseed, BD, green tea
R/R: I thought AF came on Friday (red), but then totally and completely disappeared. So much so that I actually took a test yesterday because I was really, really confused (BFN of course). Low and behold, a few hours later she was here in full force. But, that means that I've been spotting for an entire week, which is definitely not right. Phone call to Dr. today. They have said that they won't do any tests on me until DH has his SA, but maybe, just maybe there's something they can do/give me.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What activity gets you going on Monday morning? Do you spring out of bed or do you snooze through several alarms? I don't snooze, but I wouldn't exactly say I willingly spring out of bed. I go to the dog park with the pups in the morning and we meet a friend there, so that gets me up and moving (and the fact that the dogs know that my alarm is going to go off about 5 minutes before I do).
Can someone chart stalk for me? I usually ovulate on day 12 but I feel like my baseline is going a lot lower than usual, I'm not doing anything different and I bought a new thermometer a few weeks ago.
@ktcakes87, oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that you and DH were in a car accident yesterday. Glad to hear that you both are doing ok.

WAYDTGKU: pnv, opks, temping, cm, cp, pre seed, green tea
R/R: it's still super hot here! I think today is supposed to be the worst of all. UGH!
CS/Q: nothing today. My womanly parts seem to be doing their thing.
GTKY: What activity gets you going on Monday morning? Do you spring out of bed or do you snooze through several alarms? I am notorious for hitting the snoozing at least once (more likely more). I must say I have been getting better though!

WAYDTGKU: PNV, BBT, B6, RRL tea, tracking cm, and probably HIO starting tonight
R/R: noticed a tiny bit of ewcm mixed in with a bunch of creamy this morning. Although I think it's still a little early for O, should probably start HIO tonight. I also HAVE to get back into temping regularly! I have so many dotted lines this cycle so far it's crazy. Must get better.
I remembered on Saturday night/Sunday morning why I typically don't drink liquor anymore. So not worth it!
CS/Q:
GTKY: What activity gets you going on Monday morning? Do you spring out of bed or do you snooze through several alarms? I get up at 5 and do my weekday workout class. Now that I'm in a habit of waking up that early, it really helps to get up and moving before work. It's my hour every day where i can shut my brain off and not think about much. Definitely helps with Mondays.

CD: 3
WAYDTGKU: SEX.. and trying to learn this tracking thing. I am shocked by how little I knew about my own body. I just thought everyone ovulates like two weeks after a period... I studied Biology and Chemistry in college for goodness sakes! I missed a few key points.
R/R: I am just a hormonal Bitc* at the moment. Last week I was secretly hoping it was because my period was not coming but of course it did. I have never been someone to get crazy during my period but this is the worst (emotional) one I have ever had. I feel like I should just warn people to not be near me right now.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What activity gets you going on Monday morning? Do you spring out of bed or do you snooze through several alarms? I normally set a couple alarms but end up getting up on the first one. I have a 40 minute drive to work so by the time I get here I am awake and ready for the week.
@jatwal128 I can literally have one liquor drink or else I have a monster hangover. Definitely not shots. It is not worth it for me either anymore. Luckily, we all managed to stick to beer on this bach weekend. I think it saved me.
Month/Cycle: 7/7
CD: 5
WAYDTGKU: BBT starting tomorrow, CM, OPK (trying out those wondfos this month), CoQ10. Up new this month - preseed, B6, RRLT.
R/R: Bachelorette weekend was awesome but I am so exhausted. I have trouble sleeping if I overdo it drinking so, yea, definitely saw 2 am on the clock before I was able to pass out. The struggle is real today. It was honestly nice to have a break from TTC but I am so ready for this cycle!!
CS/Q:
GTKY: What activity gets you going on Monday morning? Do you spring out of bed or do you snooze through several alarms? Coffee is literally the only thing that gets me going on Monday morning. Unless, I schedule a gym class which I love and hate at the same time. I used to only work out in the evenings but I got into the habit of going in the morning and it changed everything. Its hard to get there but I feel so awake and accomplished when I am done!
Month/Cycle: 12/13
CD: 10
WAYDTGKU: sex & ubiquinol
R/R: I have to rave my DH. I mentioned a couple weeks ago that we were about to start major work on our home when our contractor died. He had dug the hole for our egress window, but that was it. We had a guy wanting to finish it for around $5k. We decided that was out of the question and I wanted to just fill in the hole, but DH decided he could do it. He learned how to do it himself and it looks great. I'm amazed and can't believe the things he figures out and can do.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What activity gets you going on Monday morning? Do you spring out of bed or do you snooze through several alarms? I'm definitely not a morning person. But my DH works from home, so this morning I got up early and exercised while he watched the kids. (they get up even earlier) I'm too tired lately to do it at night and this is helping my day to start off better. I'm planning to do this every day this week and get back into regularly exercising.

@ktcakes87 that's awful about the accident!! Thank goodness you were wearing your seatbelt! I hope you can take it easy for the next few days!
FX for O, @pretzel2plus1! Do you usually O this late or is this an unusually long cycle for you?
@bswishe4 you're definitely not alone in realizing how much you didn't know about your body! And then I think about all these women who "just have sex and get pregnant" who never learn this stuff because they didn't have to. I mean, I wish I didn't "have" to learn this stuff because I just got KTFU quickly, but I kind of feel bad for women who don't know, because it's actually really cool to understand all this stuff!

WAYDTGKU: Me, tonight:
R/R: Nothing beyond the regular Monday blahs...
CS/Q: Nope!
GTKY: What activity gets you going on Monday morning? Do you spring out of bed or do you snooze through several alarms? Like @KirstinH88 and @adirat, temping has actually helped get me up. I don't want to wake DH or lay around tossing and mess my temp up. However, if I wasn't temping, I'd snooze the pants off that alarm. I love to work out in the morning, but the thought of working out doesn't really help get me moving
CD: 6
WAYDTGKU: robitussin (more bc I'm battling a cold), start opks tomo, temping, coq10. Vitamin D, pnv's,
R/R: hysterscopy scheduled for Thursday so I'm really hoping everything goes well and that we will be able to hit our FW this cycle
CS/Q: those taking vitamin D & coq10 - how much we you taking daily
GTKY: What activity gets you going on Monday morning? Do you spring out of bed or do you snooze through several alarms?
Its 10 am Monday morning and I've been at work for 2 hours and I'm still not feeling like I'm awake lol. I'm so bad with the snooze button. I know the best thing to do is to get up when first alarm goes off but I always try to get a few extra minutes of sleep in

R/R: Unusually impatient for fw this month. Normally I'm happy to chill out in WTO because this is when I feel like the best version of myself in my cycle, but yeah, ready to get to it.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What activity gets you going on Monday morning? Do you spring out of bed or do you snooze through several alarms?
I'm on sun time; I wake up naturally around 6:30-7:00 because it's light out, and if it feels like I slept enough then I'll get up. In the winter I usually only need the alarm to go off once, or I'll give myself one snooze. Luckily for my job I can come in anytime between 7:30-9:00am, so I try to wake up without the alarm whenever possible.

Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD: 3 (below is a current photo of me)
WAYDTGKU: nothing
R/R: Ah, Monday. This is odd, but I'm kind of relieved this AF has been heavier than the last 2. I was shocked my first 2 cycles were so light coming off the BCP when I heard to expect the exact opposite... then of course I had determined that I had lining problems or something. But we're back to normal this month. So, yay?
CS/Q: Nah
GTKY: What activity gets you going on Monday morning? Do you spring out of bed or do you snooze through several alarms? I get right up but mostly because of my dog - once he hears the alarm, he knows it's time for food and he is UP.
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD: 16
WAYDTGKU: Just doing our best
R/R: This is neither a rant nor a rave, to keep things brief, a loved one passed away unexpectedly on 7/14. The past 10 days have been crushing. As it relates to TTC, I was across the country for the service during what appear to have been my most fertile days. My husband wasn’t with me. I wasn’t sleeping well in a hotel room with my sisters so temping didn’t really happen.
CS/Q: Truth be told I’m not sure where I am in relation to ovulation. Based on CM/CP yesterday it seemed like maybe I’d ovulated yesterday or the day before. Today my temp and CP seem like maybe I haven’t yet.
GTKY: What activity gets you going on Monday morning? Do you spring out of bed or do you snooze through several alarms?
Monday, Wednesday and Friday I typically swim with a Masters swim team. If I don’t get out of bed immediately at 5:00am I’ll be late to practice. It’s really tough, but I know that deep down I enjoy it and feel more peaceful on days when I go to practice.
@adirat The whole testing while working thing is tough, so this is how I look at it: I'm drinking liquids all day and processing out the hormones in my urine constantly. If I pee at 2pm it'll have the hormones from 10am-2pm, and if I pee at 6pm it'll have the hormones from 2-6pm, assuming a 4-hour hold. So no matter what you're going to get the hormones that indicate the LH surge.

WAYDTGKU: BBT, PNV, CM/CP, RRLT, Green Tea, couple other beverages (trying to naturally boost progesterone bc suspect I might be low), DHA, OPKs starting CD 8 or 9, preseed, HIO when DH gets back
R/R: Nothing TTC related just frustrated about wishy washy plans. Now we might not be going camping & to the wedding at all, which I don't mind but I don't know whether to plan for it or not. Trying to just do minimal planning in case he springs it on me last minute. DHs work can be unreliable and it makes planning hard. So far this week I've been told he'd be home early Wednesday, then early Tuesday, and now probably 10pm Tuesday. Since I pick him up it makes it a bit hard to plan around sometimes. Ah well! Grateful he has work
CS/Q: ok so far
GTKY: What activity gets you going on Monday morning? Do you spring out of bed or do you snooze through several alarms?
I'm a super light sleeper and have non-restorative sleeps so I feel awful in the mornings but can't usually fall asleep after an alarm if I even make it to one. I temp around 530 even tho I don't usually have to get up at a specific time, that's just usually when I wake up and have the biggest chunk of sleep and then after that it's tossing and turning and the dogs have been getting me up around 8 lol If I have to get up I can pretty easily I just groan a bit and make my tea lol
Month/Cycle: 4/4

WAYDTGKU: going to pick up some CBADs today when I go on a run to Target. Otherwise just temping, RRL and checking CM once AF is gone.
R/R: not much goin on. Still trying to move on from AF hatred.
CS/Q: I've O'd on CD 15, 12, and 22. When should I start OPKs?
GTKY: What activity gets you going on Monday morning? Do you spring out of bed or do you snooze through several alarms? Usually do a one time snooze, but fear of being late gets me up pretty quick haha I don't give myself much space most days. btw, why is the iPhone snooze 9 minutes? Makes me crazy every time.

WAYDTGKU: Sex, temping, Vitex checking CM, trying to lose weight, Visiting my Dr. on 8/9.
R/R: I had a busy weekend so I wasn't on TB. Friday was our 8 year anniversary and we celebrated by going to a theme park during an excessive heat warning (so smart). It wasn't too bad because we made sure to go inside periodically, rode several water rides and drank a lot of water. Then on Saturday we went to lunch with my parents, grandma and brother and then to a wedding for one of my cousins and spent yesterday recovering.
CS/Q: Things are boring.
GTKY: What activity gets you going on Monday morning? Do you spring out of bed or do you snooze through several alarms?
Oh, I sleep through alarms. I blame my roommate from sophomore year of college. Previous to that I always woke up as soon as my alarm went off but she would snooze her alarm for like an hour before she got up, so I got used to ignoring alarms and now it's a bad habit. Recently I've been making myself a homemade latte in the mornings and that helps me get up. I have always wished I got up earlier but I can never make myself.

@pretzel2plus1 - that sounds really rough, not knowing when/if you O'd. I hope you figure it out soon. Good luck!
Hey ladies, I've been stalking the boards recently, but haven't posted in a while. Hope it's ok if I jump back in.
Month/Cycle: 4/2 - we were successful back in April, but I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks, so I had to wait for that to finish before my cycle returned.
CD: 1. AF paid her visit this morning. Man, is it crushing every time to see that blood (even though I knew from my chart, and symptoms she was on her way). I just think about friends I have who look forward to AF each month knowing they aren't pregnant, and just find it amazing the different attitudes we can have towards it.
WAYDTGKU: BBT and charting CM. I try to mostly keep both to myself, and not show DH so that he doesn't get stressed out and feel like he HAS to perform on a certain day.
R/R: This month is going to be a rough one emotionally for me (hence why I jumped back into the community). My cousin who got pregnant with her DH when she wasn't planning is due...well, I guess tomorrow. And my sister-in-law (no the biggest fan of DH's sister to begin with) is due on Sunday. So I feel like I'm going to get pictures and call's and people wanting to Skype, and as much as it makes me feel like a bad person...right now, I really don't have any interest in being happy and giddy about a baby. We didn't tell anyone in our family about the miscarriage, since we hadn't even had a dr appointment yet, so they don't have a clue how much it'll hurt us right now. DH is the most supportive man ever!
CS/Q: Ok, I know it's a little bit rocky, but in general I see a general split. I did forget to enter the time when it wasn't t my normal time a few days this month (CD 20 being one of them). So, I got a message when I entered todays temp that there wasn't enough info to provide a cover line anymore (there was one showing up previously on CD20). Why did that disappear? Based on CM, I was assuming O was on day 15. Just wondering why the coverline went away with todays temp.
GTKY: What activity gets you going on Monday morning? Do you spring out of bed or do you snooze through several alarms?
I usually kinda spring out of bed. We have a dog, and I'm really not a fan of cleaning out his kennel. So when my BBT alarm goes off, I get up after that and let him out. I usually go for a little walk in the morning too while he runs around the yard.
Good luck to everyone this month!

WAYDTGKU: Charting, PNV, B6, CoQ10, EPO and Mucinex and OPKs until confirmed O, RRL and green tea, extracting baby batter from OH whenever he and geography allow
R/R: So it turns out that having a pool has been good for our sex life. OH likes foreplay in the pool, especially when I do naughty things like pulling my top down under the water. So we managed to FWP twice this weekend, and I intend to drive 130 miles tomorrow night to try to get one more in FW (assuming I haven't already O'd by then....of course, +1 timing wouldn't be a bad thing anyway).
It wasn't even this romantic, which is great because naughty is more fun anyway:

@momtoleo; I've had wonky cycles where I've spotted for a week before real AF came. It usually only happened when my cycles were longer than normal. I typically spot for 3 days before a normal period though so my spotting could definitely be different than someone who doesn't usually spot!

I guess it depends on how my sunday went, if it was busy and didnt get home till late or go to bed till late then i hit snooze, but if i was well rested then usually i can get up and get my workout in and then im ready to go.

@RedBreast35 Love your gifs!
@Marley629 I'm taking ubiquinol instead (I'm going to be 39 in October) - I have heard to start with 200mg/day for the first couple of weeks then go down to 100mg/day. I could actually be overdoing it (200mg in AM and 100mg in the afternoon) as I've noticed my blood pressure is really (but not unhealthily) low for me (I'm usually on the borderline for hypertension).
CD: 15
WAYDTGKU: Charting, BBT, CM, OPKs (first positive yesterday), PNVs, fish oil, ubiquinol, preseed, cutting back on caffeine but added green tea, some inositol when I remember (I actually like to cold brew a glass of green tea and add a tsp of inositol which sweetens it just a touch), HIO EOD during FW, and ED (so far) since +OPK. All new this month except Charting, PNVs, fish oil, ubiquinol, and HIO (of course).
R/R: I realized this month (already) how stressy all of this is making me (also how bad I am at communicating and asking for sex, if you will). Just a little rave about how awesome and patient my DH is with me. I really don't know how I got so lucky.
CS/Q: Hmm..not right now - Still trying to figure out what's up.
GTKY: What activity gets you going on Monday morning? Do you spring out of bed or do you snooze through several alarms?
I'm primarily motivated by the fact that if I don't get up and go to the gym before work (including Mondays), traffic will be much, much worse later. I actually joined the gym (I don't actually like exercise so even the notion is somewhat comical to those who know me). Mondays and Fridays are yoga days for me, and while I don't actually like yoga (being exercise and all), I admit I am usually glad that I went by the end of class. And I think I've grown to hate spinning but still do it 3x/week because I have to take classes since otherwise I don't actually know what to do with myself at a gym. I splurge on Equinox (Yay for ever so slight corporate discount) so also enjoy the Kiehl's products, but justify it since I go every weekday before work. Still get sleepy in the afternoons though - I need to go to bed earlier.

@RedBreast35 This is an unusually long cycle for me, but I do normally O "late," at least later than average. I'm usually between CD 25-35. I'm having all the CM since I posted this morning, so who knows!
@sevenn I have no idea why iPhone would pick 9 minutes for their snooze, but I am a pro at counting by nines because of it!

Testing with RE October 2016
BFP 11/5/2016 ~ EDD 7/19/2016
CD: 8
WAYDTGKU: Charting, temping, cm
R/R: Just a little anxiety about starting this process again, that it might be more difficult this time around since we are 6 years older now (35 and 40).
CS/Q: Nope.
GTKY: What activity gets you going on Monday morning? Do you spring out of bed or do you snooze through several alarms? Luckily I don't have to use an alarm since I work from home and hours are flexible! However I also don't need one since DS is happy to wake me up every morning.
Me: 36 DH: 41
@swimsister, I’m very sorry to hear that you lost a loved one. That is never easy to handle. Hugs!
@MandyBeeSLP, Happy anniversary!
@KhRun17, So sorry to hear about your loss. You are always welcome here anytime! J I hope you make it through the next week ok with all of the new littles ones coming into the world. Hugs!
@aboxofchocolates, I hear ya being anxious! I’m still new at this, but I don’t think watery CM is supposed to be stretchy – just wet. If it were stretchy I’d call it EW. Ladies, please correct me if I’m wrong!
@Daisy621, I wish DH was handy! I am way handier than he is. His dad is a carpenter, so you would have thought he’d learn a little, but nope!

CD: 21
WAYDTGKU: CM, CP, OPKs, BBT, RRL Tea, PNVs
R/R: Still no O. The signs I had are gone. I'm annoyed. But trying to destress. So I'm not gonna be around a lot this week. I don't want to keep focusing on the fact that I haven't ovulated yet. I'm also working this week (one week of summer academy I agreed to for a coworker who is getting married this weekend). So I'm busier than the rest of the summer.
CS/Q: Nadda
GTKY: What activity gets you going on Monday morning? Do you spring out of bed or do you snooze through several alarms?
I snooze! I actually set 3 alarms because I hate the idea of having to jump up the second the alarm goes off to start the day.
Married: November 2015
TTC#1: January 2016
BFP: 5/02/16 - MC: 5/27/16
CD: 20
WAYDTGKU: PNVs, diet, exercise, Vitamin D supplement, sex, Clomid...thinking of adding a few more supplements if there is a next cycle.
R/R: Feeling a bit queasy today and am fairly certain I am about to ovulate or already am. If confirmed, I'll likely head on over to the TWW board tomorrow.
CS/Q: not today
GTKY: What activity gets you going on Monday morning? Do you spring out of bed or do you snooze through several alarms? I am honestly the last person to give any sort of advice on this topic, as I am the grouchiest person in the mornings. I have a long commute (45 min) so by the time I get to work I'm at least a functioning adult/tolerable. I quit caffeine this summer break so I know starting back up with school next month is going to be the absolute worst. Along the lines of what many of you have said, I agree that temping and OPKs that require FMU have at the very least broken my habit of hitting the snooze button continuously.
@ktcakes87 I'm sorry about your car accident. They can be pretty scary. I'm glad everyone is safe and hope you both heal quickly.
@pretzel2plus1 FX that you O!
@Saralee797 & @artemis618 I wish I could manage to get my workouts in in the morning. DH is one of those people who can get up at 4 and be ready to do a high intensity workout...I envy him for it! My daily workout consists of yoga/pilates & cardio, and I feel like if I tried this I'd just end up taking a nap on my yoga mat lol.
@Marley629 I take 1,000 IU of vitamin D but that is because my bloodwork consistently comes back with low Vitamin D levels...I feel that the amount I am taking might be high for someone who already meets their daily requirement via PNVs and diet. I don't take coq10 but it is one of the supplements I am looking to possibly add to my regimen, along with B6.
@swimsister so sorry for your loss. Sometimes TTC has to take a back seat to bigger things going on in our lives, and I think that is perfectly natural and okay. Just keep doing what you can and don't be hard on yourself.
@MandyBeeSLP Happy belated anniversary!
@AliciaGoose I hope that you are able to get your mind off of things for a bit. Often times that's the best thing for us & our bodies I think. GL with work this week.
*edited because TB ate half of my post*
@hartmich Thanks, good to know I can do it later at night! Though also risky to know since now I'm wondering if I should be testing more often than once per day!
@eggplantface Thanks! Really helpful.
@adirat From what I googled last month, a lot of people recommend multiple times a day, especially as you think you're getting closer (I.e. CM changing or test lines getting darker). I was a little surprised at the amount of work it was. There are some other tests that use FMU but I had the super pack of wondfos already.
