WAYDTGKU: all things ..

R/R: this part of cycle stinks - I know I've prob O'd already (just waiting on two temps for confirmation) so it's completely out of my hands.  OH is working 24 hour shift so we can't even HIO for good measure. But I do get to go shopping today which will keep me occupied! 

CS/Q: 

GTKY: If you have to get ready in a hurry, what is the one thing that you can easily cut out of your routine? 
I don't really wear makeup most days so that's something I easily cut out.  Really - I can get away with not brushing my hair - just throw it up in a bun and call it a day 

BitterBetty12

ETA: @Marley629 Im in the same boat. Pretty sure I O'd (little bit of ambiguity but one more good temp I'll be convinced). Now it's time to just wait it out. And try not to let the BSC creep in. Have fun shopping! Anywhere in particular you know you're going or thing you're shopping for?

Month/Cycle: (8/6) 2/2 TTCAL

CD: 22

WAYDTGKU: PNV, Coq10, OPK, RRLT in WTO, BBT, CM, CP, HIO ED

R/R: 2nd big temp spike this AM, starting to feel hopeful that even though I didn't turn a wondfo all the way + that maybe I did O two days ago. Fingers crossed.

CS/Q: Nadda

GTKY: If you have to get ready in a hurry, what is the one thing that you can easily cut out of your routine?  

I already do the bare bones routine. The only thing I could cut out would be putting on BB cream and foundation!

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 15

WAYDTGKU: pnv, temping, opk, cm, cp, preseed

R/R: have to go back to work tomorrow after a week of vacation. Boo! 

CS/Q: ugh. I don't know what the hell my body is doing. No positive opk (yet), but everything else has lined up. Small temp rise yesterday but back down today. Getting frustrated that I might not have O'd yet, which I'm sure is just going to continue to delay it if it hasn't happened yet. Sorry for all the bitterness this morning! Now I'm going to make a huge batch of bacon and tench toast to make myself feel better! Bacon fixes all! 


GTKY: If you have to get ready in a hurry, what is the one thing that you can easily cut out of your routine? 
If I'm running late I won't straighten my hair.

WAYDTGKU: Temping, PNVs, CM, HIO

R/R: DH and I both have off today which doesn't happen often, so looking forward to some relaxing family time. 

CS/Q: Nope

GTKY: Well, I always get up an hour earlier than I need to so that I can have time to drink my coffee in peace, read the news, scroll through facebook, etc. So I can easily save a lot of time by cutting that out if need be. 

Westy99

FF gave me crosshairs this morning, even though my chart is a hot mess & I haven't had a temp spike.  Moving over to TWW anyways.  See you all over there soon I hope!

@BertieMeetsGertie bacon truly does fix all. 

pretzel2plus1

FX for O, @marley629 and @bitterbetty12!

I'm in the same boat not knowing what my body is doing, @bertiemeetsgertie! But minus the bacon. Maybe bacon will make it better!

Month/Cycle: 13/11

CD: 21

WAYDTGKU: drinking tea, temping, OPKs, vitamins 

R/R: I was up super early this morning. H has rehearsal at church before the service. Oh being married to a musician. So I'm bumping from the back row. Lol. 

CS/Q: I've had a really strange week. My temps have been abnormally high, like post-O high for days. I also got positive OPKs after my temp rose. No CHs yet, and I really don't think I O'd yet. It would be crazy early for me, if so. So my question: I thought that CBAD OPKs were supposed to give you a low reading the first time. I opened a brand new box on Thursday and got a peak reading right off the bat. Has that happened to anyone else? I've googled the mess out of it, but nothing. 

GTKY: My routine changes depending on what I feel like each morning, so I can definitely cut out makeup and doing my hair. Now that my hair is longer, I can braid it or throw it up in a bun quickly.

I'm going to be on the WTO thread for the rest of my life.  

Month/Cycle: 4/5

CD:  24

WAYDTGKU: all the regular stuff plus clomid 

R/R: I had some spotting this morning so I may be back to CD 1 with no ovulation.  I'm so bummed out.  Also, my boobs hurt so clomid seemed to give me side effects but no ovulation.  Thanks, jerk. 

CS/Q: I got nothin' 

GTKY: If you have to get ready in a hurry, what is the one thing that you can easily cut out of your routine? I will gladly skip styling my hair. 

On a fun note here is a pic of my dog swimming this morning.  So sweet.  

GiddyUp82

I've been lurking the past couple days. I have the in-laws coming over tonight  good news, the house is clean enough for the Queen to come over.

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD: 15

WAYDTGKU: PNV, Temps, CoQ10, Aspirin, HIO

R/R: I can't wait for tonight to be over with. The in-laws are a bunch of narcissistic a-holes. DH doesn't even like them. Brand new house and I'm sure they'll find something negative to say. 

CS/Q: please help! I'm new to this whole charting thing. I usually have a short cycle 21-26 days. I have 2 "spikes" on my chart but those were mornings I drank the night before so I think I should ignore those (right?) I'll post 2 versions. Any insight from you ladies would be greatly appreciated. I am thinking I am either have an non-ovulation cycle or I just haven't OV'ed yet. (Ignore the CM stuff and coverline. I don't think I did that right) 

GTKY: If you have to get ready in a hurry, what is the one thing that you can easily cut out of your routine? Drying my hair. Wet messy bun it is!

jackiemarie1989-2

@GiddyUp82, are you new here? If so, welcome! If not, forgive me, I might just not know you because I am pretty new here too. 
I would agree that it was probably the alcohol giving you the higher temps, it doesn't look consistent with ovulation because usually after ovulation you should have at least 3 consistently higher temps in a row. I would guess you haven't ovulated yet. I'm  not familiar with that app it looks kinda confusing. What are the stars up top?

WAYDTGKU: Bought preseed last night so let's see how that goes

R/R:  Sorry for the lack of posts since Tuesday. We moved to Massachusetts Tuesday, drove back to NJ Wednesday (MIL's bday was Thursday), then back up to Mass for good (with the kitties) on Friday. Work starts tomorrow and I cannot wait to do anything that isn't unpacking. I also need money fairly desperately. On the plus side DH isn't working which means no more opposite schedule for FW!! 

CS/Q:

GTKY: If you have to get ready in a hurry, what is the one thing that you can easily cut out of your routine?  
I agree with @marley629 my hair is the first to go. 

mokay19

I'm coming over here because teeechnically I'm WTO so I can skip this cycle and go on to the next one!

Month/Cycle:  12 months (womp womp)

CD: 8

WAYDTGKU:  Started temping again, PNV, Metformin, Inositol

R/R:  Technically I'm benched right now but I want to hang out with you guys so I'm coming over here.  This coming week is my last week at work down south...  Then I will start extreme house hunting and hopefully buying!  It'll be a busy September so hopefully that keeps me calm!

CS/Q:  None yet

GTKY: If you have to get ready in a hurry, what is the one thing that you can easily cut out of your routine?  hmmmm... I don't wear make up or brush my hair daily sooooo I guess I would have to cut out washing my face!

@laurad75 Are you temping?  Sometimes spotting can occur during ovulation and my boobs got sore like the day that I ovulated in July..... could that be a possibility?  Not trying to give you false hope, just curious!

GiddyUp82

@JackieMarie1989 - I'm new-ish. Last cycle was my first on the Bump. I haven't been consistent about posting the last few days. 
Thank you for looking at my chart. The stars at the top are ovulation predictions. Since my cycle is usually 25-26 and occasionally shorter the app thinks I'll O on day 12. Apparently not the case this cycle. 

GiddyUp82

@Cait32 I've never used FF but it looks more confusing to me. Maybe I'll give it a go though or try using both and see which one works better for me

NYTino24

Month/Cycle: benched 

CD: 22

WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, OPK, PNV, CoQ10, magnesium, B complex, acupuncture 

R/R: Still no ovulation. 

CS/Q: Why are my temps so low?! I know my thermometer is working and it's not old because I bought it in May! I understand today's temp might be low because I only had exactly three hours of sleep and had one beer last night.... But I'm thinking it's time to talk to my doc about testing my thyroid!

ETA three month chart

GTKY: If you have to get ready in a hurry, what is the one thing that you can easily cut out of your routine? 

Anything is fair game, but I'll agree with everyone else that hair can be thrown up. I can bring breakfast and makeup with me.

BitterBetty12

@NYTino24 My temps are that low pre-o normally. I had my thyroid tested before TTC and all was good. It's not a bad idea to have it checked out just in case though. 

@pretzel2plus1 I have a love hate relationship with the CBAD. Sometimes it gives me a really nice warning that FW is approaching. And other time I get false peaks. The only way I know they're false is because I use Wondfos in conjunction. Was the CBAD the only test you were using? If it detects a high amount of LH it will give you peak even if it's the first reading. But with my false peaks my LH was still incredibly low.

CD: 21

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, TRYING to temp  

R/R: Rant: I have been trying to track data with a wearable device (inconsistent sleep schedule/alternating shift work) which has been working okay. Then, middle of my vacation the app was updated and now it won't sync any of the data so I have no way of knowing my temps and didn't have my Mabis as backup. I am so annoyed! I also ran out of OPKs on Tuesday and didn't get home until yesterday at midnight. I figured this month will be more of an NTNP month. I took my temp this AM with Mabis and it was within the range my wearable device generated but not sure how reliable it is switching devices mid cycle. I assumed I hadnt ovulated and was kind of bummed, BUT

Rave: This AM I decided to take another OPK and I'm pretty sure its +!!! I know that doesn't mean I will O for sure but ahhh it's nice to finally have some idea of what's going on 3 weeks into this cycle!!! I'm excited but also doubt I'll get another BD in with DH's schedule today and tomorrow... So I may be stuck with -3 and -5 timing if I O tomorrow. Could be worse. 

CS/Q: How soon before O do OPKs generally stop being +? I know there is no way to tell where I am in my surge but I just wonder- does the surge end when I actually ovulate? Or before? 

GTKY: If you have to get ready in a hurry, what is the one thing that you can easily cut out of your routine?

*sigh* if I'm headed to work it would have to be my makeup. But I always feel like crap if I don't do my makeup. If I'm headed to class or errands or something I'll just throw some sea salt spray in my hair and let my hair air dry. I actually prefer this look but my hair takes so long to dry so I only manage it when I don't mind going out with wet hair lol

hope for a baby

Month/Cycle: 15/15

CD: 22

WAYDTGKU: All the things

R/R: Temp spike this morning, so hopefully moving to the TWW soon. Still continuing to HIO just in case. 

CS/Q:

GTKY: If you have to get ready in a hurry, what is the one thing that you can easily cut out of your routine?  

Some of my make up routine, I will bring it with in attempt to do it in the car.

PolarBear517

@JackieMarie1989 I am jealous of your ability to wake up an hour earlier than needed! No way I have that stamina! 

@GiddyUp82 I don't think you O'd yet but hopefully you still will, even if it's late for you! Also, hope your day goes by quickly & visit from the in-laws is as painless as possible! 

@berg moving is always so busy, but I hope you love your new home! 

laurad75

@mokay19 thanks! Yes, I'm temping (chart in siggy) but temps haven't shown much of anything lately. OPK earlier was neg. I've never spotted or had sore boobs before but this is the first cycle I've been on Clomid so everything is a mystery. I'd be pumped if this is O finally. 

hope for a baby

 @BertieMeetsGertieThat is so frustrating! That happens to me a lot, too. I have a hard time turning OPK’s because there is no way that I can do an OPK at work and I have read that the surges usually happen in the afternoons. Are you trying them in the afternoons? Or several times a day? That may help.

@jackiemarie1989I used to have that ambition in the morning, I wish I still did! How do you do it?

@laurad75 I’m sorry, that is frustrating. Have you talked to your RE about it? I feel like that is the exact opposite of what Clomid is supposed to do!

@Giddyup82 I’m having a hard time interpreting your chart because it is so new to me. Does it make you guess at cover line? Also, what are the stars at the top, and hearts on the bottom?

@Mokay19 Good luck house hunting!

 @NYTino24 It's not a bad idea to have it checked out just in case. My temps used to be that low, but when I changed my thermometer, they bumped up, it ended up just being the thermometer that had a lower setting baseline.

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: 10

WAYDTGKU: opk, preseed

R/R: regretting giving up on temping so quickly this month. I think I might start back up mid cycle just to get in the habit for a complete chart next month.

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: If you have to get ready in a hurry, what is the one thing that you can easily cut out of your routine? 

Makeup, sometimes I'll grab my stuff and do it once I get to work. Or skip breakfast/coffee and get something downtown. 

BertieMeetsGertie

@hope_for_a_baby, yes I've been doing them in the afternoon, evenings, and in the mornings a few times (I only tested twice on CD13 and 14 though). Just frustrating because it seemed so easy and happened quickly the first two months!

Month/Cycle:4/4

CD: 9

WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPK

R/R: I had the worst headache yesterday

CS/Q: None

GTKY: I never wear makeup. 

BitterBetty12

@PolarBear517 You should ovulate within 12-48 hours of your FIRST + OPK. Some people will turn positives for a couple days. Some, like myself, have a short surge and only a window of a couple hours to really catch the +. It doesn't matter how long it stays + or when your last + is.

PolarBear517

@BitterBetty12 thank you! I guess since I didn't take any OPKs yesterday, in theory I could be ovulating as early as today or as late as Tuesday with that 12-48 hour span. I guess it will be important to remember to temp the next couple days to pinpoint a spike (if I get one that is)

WAYDTGKU: all the things

R/R: had to go into work again and DH is being pissy because we didn't go to costco yesterday. Darn it man, if its that important to you then speak up and tell me you really want to go!

CS/Q: not yet

GTKY: If you have to get ready in a hurry, what is the one thing that you can easily cut out of your routine?  I'm with @marley629 and @berg its the hair... Just pull it up and go

@bertiemeetsgertie sorry about the frustrating lack of O

@jackiemarie1989 hooray for time off with DH

@giddyup82 I agree with the other ladies I dont think you have O'd yet, maybe CD14 but we would need more temps to tell. FF really isn't that bad, it might be worth giving it a try, you could use both for a bit and see which you like better 

mrsegan13

@Westy99...I also got a crosshairs, but I haven't had any spike in temp or a positive OPK...why does the app think I ovulated? I did have EW and now everything is dry. But I just kind of assumed I didn't ovulate this cycle? So confusing. 

hope for a baby

@BertieMeetsGertie That is frustrating, I'm sorry!  

rainbowturtles

@BitterBetty12 yay! Hoping for another high temp for you. I'm not sure I trust my OPKs a whole lot either lol
@BertieMeetsGertie mmmm BACON!
@laurad75 oh goodness, I'm so sorry
@GiddyUp82 GL getting through tonight! FWIW I use both kindara and FF. I like having both because I'm a weirdo lol (and I use Celsius, which gives 2 decimal places)
The stars at the top of Kindara charts show estimated FW. The hearts are BD days.... Btw, good work @GiddyUp82 lol

Month/Cycle: 2/3 TTCAL

CD: 12

WAYDTGKU: BBT, PNV, DHA, Maca, green tea, feminine balance tea, cm/cp, OPKs, BDing as much as DH can manage 

R/R: Well, BDing just wasn't in the cards for us yesterday, unfortunately and I'm trying to just convince myself that EOD is good, too. I was just nervous about Friday's BD because I don't think he'd gone in 5 days and I don't know how long is too long to affect sperm quality. But not much I can do, just carry on and be hopeful lol Got a sesh in this morning so that's a relief  

Also, DH scared me for a second saying "I guess we have to stop this for a bit". I was like whaaa??!! I have to have a little investigative procedure on my abdomen next month using only local anesthetic and I mentioned I'm probably going to be sore (but I'm assuming for like a week). If my cycle goes as I'm hoping/as "normal" then I should know by then if I am KU and would postpone the procedure (which I don't even know is necessary but would make me nervous). But I think he misunderstood and thought I was going to be out of commission for a couple months and that we had to TTA. And he actually thought I'd said that. Um nope, doesn't sound like something I would say lol 

CS/Q: don't think so. Just not sure I'll ever turn a positive OPK but I'm not too concerned!

GTKY: If you have to get ready in a hurry, what is the one thing that you can easily cut out of your routine? 
Makeup/hair. I'll usually put my hair up/back and just use mascara and some BB cream

BitterBetty12

@PolarBear517 Yeah, temping is important so you can verify! Even when you get used to your pattern (for example, currently I almost always O the day after my + OPK) sometimes your body surprises you. In the beginning of using OPKs for me I used to O on the day of my +.

@rainbowturtles FX for a + OPK soon!! 

Marley629

@BitterBetty12 I'm on the hunt for outfits for family pictures next week; really just for me because I'm the hard one - OH and DS will be easy to dress once I know what I'm wearing. Today's shopping trip was an epic fail lol. I think I'm going to have to go by myself sometime this week...DS came along today and it didn't help that he shook his head and screamed no for everything I tried on.  Thanks kid lol   FX that you, me and @BusinessWife are in TWW soon! 

NurseMarie9

Month/Cycle: 8/9

CD: 12

WAYDTGKU: PNVs, OPKs

R/R: I'm not temping this cycle and I feel like we're going to miss out this cycle, after getting the results from the SA and my CD3 labs. I started Cabergoline today to lower my prolactin level.  I'll be on it for 4 weeks, then recheck levels. I am seeing the OB on Friday to discuss HSG (which will be next cycle) and IUI plans. 

CS/Q: n/a

GTKY: If you have to get ready in a hurry, what is the one thing that you can easily cut out of your routine?  No makeup. Just moisturizer w/ sunscreen and throw my hair up in a pony tail. 

jackiemarie1989-2

@PolarBear517 and @hope_for_a_baby, I just really need that quiet alone time in the early mornings, sometimes it's the only quiet time I get. My job is pretty...stressful and active. I also wake up slowly and have never been someone who can just roll out of bed and go. I am amazed at people who can do that! I'm too groggy at first.

R/R: Had an awesome weekend back to classes.  I'm loving cna school and excited to finish the course.

CS/Q: None today.

GTKY: If you have to get ready in a hurry, what is the one thing that you can easily cut out of your routine? I'm pretty much with all you on the hair thing.  I'd pile it on top of my head with a few bobby pins.

CS/Q:

GTKY: If you have to get ready in a hurry, what is the one thing that you can easily cut out of your routine? 

Washing my hair. I go as long as I can without washing my hair. And I really only shower if I have to see people I care about, so if I'm just running errands? Skip it. (I do care about DH... but somehow he just does not count lol)

mrsegan13

Finally a positive OPK on evening of cycle day 22. Relief.

Like others, it would have to be my hair.

@achays11, BD is baby dance aka sex

Thank you @JackieMarie1989! I felt so silly asking!
