R/R: I basically cried myself to sleep last night (see my R/R from yesterday) and now I have a sore throat
C/S: None
GTKY: What was your favorite detail from your wedding (I wanna see pictures!) or what detail do you look the most forward to? I loved my dress. (Best pictures I have on my phone). Sorry if they're huge. I'll edit once on my laptop.
CS/Q: can I get a chart stalk? so every month past I get CH on the sticky cm day so I guess yesterday may have been which makes my timing not so great since H didn't feel like it last night....
GTKU: What was your favorite detail from your wedding (I wanna see pictures!) or what detail do you look the most forward to? Cowboy boots...made the day. The food was amazing....cake even better. But the best was my 96 year old grandpa was there!
R/R: Last month I had an O day dip... so I was kind of hoping for a dip today, or a spike confirming ovulation based on OPKs. But no such luck, temp is almost identical to yesterday's. My temps need to reach around 97.9 for FF to confirm ovulation and they weren't that high last cycle... this one is so different I shouldn't be worrying, but I am kind of worried that I just won't see a sufficient jump!
CS/Q: If you have multiple days of + OPKs, is it your first + or your last + that is predictive of your ovulation window?
GTKU: What was your favorite detail from your wedding (I wanna see pictures!) or what detail do you look the most forward to?
This is one of my favorite pictures from the day! We have it hanging in our house. My dress was on clearance because it had been discontinued, and I was trying to be frugal, but I splurged on adding a strap and there was enough fabric left over that the bridal shop made the bracelet in this picture for me. It's in my closet right now displayed on my jewelry organizer so I see it every time I get dressed. We weren't overly sentimental about the wedding day and put a greater portion of our budget toward the honeymoon than most couples. I actually still find our dating anniversary to be more sentimental than our wedding anniversary because it's a marker of when our journey began. But it was still a very romantic day, hiccups and all.
@bumpybump I loveee the lace detail on your dress. I hope today is better!

R/R: I'm just glad it's Friday. Going to see my friend's 3 week old tomorrow.
C/S: I'm wondering if I already O'd, and man that would be crazy early for me AND because of my recent loss. I guess we'll see when tomorrow's temp is recorded. OF COURSE I didn't take an OPK that day. Gonna FWP tonight anyway.
GTKY: What was your favorite detail from your wedding (I wanna see pictures!) or what detail do you look the most forward to? Ok I picked 3. Sue me.
1. We got married at Ravens stadium. It was awe.some. 2. Spiderman on the cake. 3. The lace wrapping my flowers is a sleeve from my mom's wedding dress. She straight up took a pair of scissors and cut it off, no problem.
@bumpybump I hope you feel better today I can't imagine how you must feel. Remember to keep taking care of yourself!
@leekat14 what happens if you discard the high temp from CD 6? It's a small shift but you might have ovulated on CD 16? It looks like your temps since then have been higher than all the rest except the AF temps which can be erratic. My first cycle I completely deleted my AF temps because I was so frustrated by them haha. Your shift from yesterday to today was small... do you typically have a slow rise pattern?

Month/Cycle: 7/5
CD: 11
WAYDTGKU: PNV, OPK, BBT, CM, CP, EOD
R/R: I intended to start using OPKs today, but got up in a haze, and didn't use FMU. I don't usually O until CD19, so I'm probably okay, but was a little irritated with myself. Also, I heard the video The Business of Being Born is super good, so I went to get it from our library yesterday, and the nice old lady who checked me out asked if I was pregnant. I couldn't believe she would ask someone that based on what they're checking out...it's like at Target or something, you don't say "so you're gonna get it on" when someone buys lube or condoms or something. It was awkward.
CS/Q: Nada. Still pleased with the "pretty-ness" of my chart this cycle!
GTKU: What was your favorite detail from your wedding (I wanna see pictures!) or what detail do you look the most forward to? I would probably say my dress too. And we had a PERFECT fall day! You can see some of the leaves changing color in the background of this pic a little. All of our pics have these big beautiful orange trees behind them that really make our pictures amazing. And I loved all the details of my dress! (side note: I HATED my bouquet...it was way bigger than I wanted - this pic doesn't show how giant it was. But MIL made it, so we just left it be.)
WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, CP, BD ED during FW, pre-seed, low caffeine, PNV
R/R: I had a huge temp rise today meaning I maybe ovulated!!! It's about freaking time. Waiting for crosshairs now!
CS/Q: not today
GTKU: What was your favorite detail from your wedding (I wanna see pictures!) or what detail do you look the most forward to? My favourite detail was my table centre pieces. I made them all myself and they turned out beautiful. Floating candles and flowers in glittery water in beautiful crystal I got for a super discounted price. I don't have a picture on my phone.
R/R: I FINALLY had some EWCM last night so I made DH wake me up when he got home from work at 2:30 to BD. I was so sure I would finally have a positive OPK this morning... but nope. *sigh* Rave: It's the weekend and we are supposed to have temps in the high 70s/low 80s for two days before it goes back to the 90s... whoo hoo!
CS/Q: Would you chart a 2:30am BD as pm last night or am today?
GTKU: What was your favorite detail from your wedding (I wanna see pictures!) or what detail do you look the most forward to?
I loved the view. We got married in the North Georgia Mountains and the scenery was spectacular! Unfortunately... I dont have a picture on my phone or work computer But here is my dress... which I also loved! Sorry for the horrible quality...
@bumpybump So many hugs. I'm so sorry. Your dress is gorgeous, though! @PolarBear517 I love that bracelet!
Edited to add: @KhRun17 I love your dress too! This is going to make me want to go back and try on wedding dresses again! @maebee87 whoo hoo for O! Come on CHs!
WAYDTGKU: Temping, BDing every other day, checking CM and CP
R/R: It's Friday! We have some fun things planned this weekend (going to the new Whole Foods lol, setting up a new desk, chair, and curtains in our study), so I'm excited.
CS/Q: *Chart Stalk* One more day of high temps, and I'll have CH for day 12. My temp took another giant leap (98.08 to 98.57), so I'm a little skeptical that I actually ovulated and this isn't some weird product of stress/poor sleep. I'm worried my temps will plummet, and I'll actually have some weird late O or anovulatory cycle. How's it looking? @adirat I remember you told me to tag you today
Question: Any reason why I'd have cramps AFTER ovulation? Yet another reason I'm skeptical that I actually did
GTKU: What was your favorite detail from your wedding (I wanna see pictures!) or what detail do you look the most forward to? I loved our cake!
WAYDTGKU: HIO, temping, PNVs, OPKs, tracking CM, possibly pineapple core after O
R/R: The kids are going to the in laws for the weekend, so DH and I have date night planned after our race tomorrow morning.
CS/Q:
GTKU: What was your favorite detail from your wedding (I wanna see pictures!) or what detail do you look the most forward to? The necklace that I wore for the ceremony was the necklace my cousins and grandma wore for their weddings. I also loved my flowers. Sorry if the picture is huge. I am on mobile.
@PolarBear517 thanks, let me try that. About the temp shift I'm not exactly sure...I switched to a Mabis this time and before I just logged the tenth instead of hundredth...I'd have a lot of flat temps so I guess I could say it's normal for me to have a slow rise.
@maebee87 Woohoo! I'm so glad you've ovulated finally! You must be so thrilled.
@CallaLily25 Did you have any CM yesterday? If not, I agree with FF that CD12 is likely. Also -- chill out. I promise it's going to be OK. Even if your temps do come back down, you're only on CD14 so you have plenty of time to O. From one crazy Type A person to another, don't let yourself go insane wondering about what "could" happen with your temps in the future.
Cycle/Month: 5/4
CD: 7
WAYDTGKU: Temping,
CM, OPKs, PNVs, CoQ10, B6, B12, vitamin D, green tea, avoiding soy. Starting EOD either today or tomorrow.
R/R: Friday! I'll be getting some new running shoes this afternoon and trying out a new Italian deli that just opened near our apartment, so I think today is going to be a good day. This will soon be me:
@callalily25 - wow that cake is beautiful! @PolarBear517 - my experience is usually with the last positive OPK I get, is when I see CH's, and when CM and temp line up with it.
R/R: TGIF!! this weekend is supposed to be beautiful, so I'm hoping we can get outside and enjoy it!
CS/Q: not yet
GTKU: What was your favorite detail from your wedding (I wanna see pictures!) or what detail do you look the most forward to? my wedding was long enough ago I don't have ready access to digital photos... Getting to have my brother and 6 day old niece there. My brother was active duty military and deployed while expecting their 1st. He was going to try to be home for her birth and at the time DH was also active duty military and would deploy again before my bro would get home from his tour. It was so important to me to have him there that we planned the wedding around them. We did the wedding where my SIL was living (everyone except them came from out of town) I picked the date in the tentative window that my brother was supposed to be home. My niece was born 6 days before the wedding. I only asked that they come for the ceremony but they were amazing and made it to almost all of the wedding festivities. DH did almost all of the wedding planning and I was just along for the ride. He did a great job. My other favorite moment (though I wasn't there) was having cold pizza delivered to DH the morning of the wedding. I LOVE cold pizza for breakfast and he doesn't like anything cold. I knew it would get a reaction and I love to tease him.
@bumpybump Hugs girl. I am so sorry your going through this. Try to be good to yourself. @leekat14 I agree it looks like CD16 O with a slow rise. if you have a higher temp tomorrow FF will give you CH. I did that last cycle with a very slow rise the first 3 days post-O and then a bigger jump. are you still using OPK? if so it might help even if they are neg. @polarbear517 it's the last positive day that gives you your window @hartmich that was so sweet of your mom, her sleeve worked beautifully for your flowers! @khrun17 what a beautiful dress. we also had a fall wedding, I love the colorful leaves @maebee87 fx for O @georgiawife6912 I would count it as today if you were already in bed asleep. if not then I count it as yesterday @callalily25 you could have cramping post O for all kinds of reasons. your chart looks good for having o'd. Your cake was beautiful @hupp0013 that is a sweet tradition to have a shared wedding necklace

CD: 13
WAYDTGKU: all the stuff: temping, pnv, opks, green tea, acupuncture, H comes home today so we can go back to HIO; clomid earlier this cycle and we will schedule IUI the day after positive OPK
R/R: I went a little crazy this morning. Please don't judge me. I peed on all the sticks. I literally took 4 OPK's this morning. My instructions from the RE nurse are to test with SMU and then call the morning of a positive to schedule IUI for the following day. I like to test a couple of times a day so I tested yesterday when I got home from work and the second line of the CVS generic OPK looked almost as dark as the test line so I was sure the CB digital would show a positive this morning. Nope. So about an hour later I went insane and tested on three different tests (wondo, CVS and CB). The CVS was similar to last night but not matching, the wondfo was almost positive and the CB was obviously another negative. I'm confident I will get the positive in the next few days. Meanwhile, I forgot to empty the bathroom trash so H is on his way home right now and going to find a collection of OPK's in the trash. I usually try to hide my crazy from him. I'm so ashamed.
CS/Q: I think my chart looks good this cycle...so far!
GTKU: What was your favorite detail from your wedding (I wanna see pictures!) or what detail do you look the most forward to? I LOVED my wedding. I was very focused on making it great party and everyone seemed to have a great time. Its hard to pick a favorite detail but first runner up would be that it was Derby Day so we had a Kentucky Derby viewing party during the cocktail hour with silly Derby favors and H's friends made a betting board. My favorite detail was that the dance floor was packed all night. It was the best day. Here is a pic of me rocking the dance floor.

You all look very pretty in your dresses! And your cake is awesome @CallaLily25!
@PolarBear517: We weren't super focused on the day either and also spent more on the honeymoon. We actually wanted to elope, but one of my parents was not cool with that so we went for it. It was great, but if no one had persuaded us I would've also been happy just getting it done real quick in a forest or something and then going on vacation.
Month/Cycle: 6/6 NTNP (I guess I'll call it that though it was somewhere in between) & 2/2 TTC
CD: 10
WAYDTGKU: just started the OPK again this morning, plus other stuff
R/R: Rant: My TTC efforts are starting to thwart each other. I have been drinking more water and keeping track of it, which makes me pee too much, especially at night, and then this time I had to "save" it for FMU on OPK, which messed up my sleep a lot, which is bad for TTC. I am going to start drinking more water earlier today so that hopefully won't happen all OPK mornings (which was 9 mornings for me last cycles and I will go BSC if I have messed up sleep that many nights in a row). Rave: Approaching FW and the weekend, which is always good.
CS/Q: Is RRL tea bad during the TWW? I feel like I've heard conflicting info on this. Something about it clearing out your uterus which could be bad if there's an egg attaching. But... it's just herbal tea--is that really a thing? I really like the flavor and I'd like to use it all cycle, but obviously won't if the clearing out uterus thing is true.
GTKU: I tried to find the pics, but I had a different laptop then because it was over 6 years ago, so you'll just have to take my word for it that I had an upside down bouquet of purple orchids and it was super cool.
R/R: My car blew up on my way to work yesterday. It's going to need a new transmission, at the very least. It's a fairly new car - brand new in 2012. Ugh.
CS/Q:
GTKU: What was your favorite detail from your wedding (I wanna see pictures!) or what detail do you look the most forward to? I loved our cake toppers. H is being into Dungeons and Dragons so I picked these out and told him the cake topper was a surprise. He loved it.
Sorry that's so huge!! I don't know how to fix it.
@bumpybump I am so sorry for your loss, I hope today is better for you!
I love seeing all of these wedding pictures! Everyone's dresses and days looked beautiful! It makes me want to get married all over again! @maebee87 yay for being a DIY Bride! I was a crafting mad woman for our wedding too!

I also can't wait to put up my Halloween decorations tomorrow!
CS/Q: I am still getting familiar with FF so not yet...
GTKU: What was your favorite detail from your wedding (I wanna see pictures!) or what detail do you look the most forward to?
It is hard to pick just one so I am following @hartmich and picking 3! By the way I LOVE how you incorporated your mom's dress into your bouquet!
Also, I apologize if these pics are huge.
1. Our venue was in the mountains on a gorgeous fall day and the weather and views were perfect. 2. We included a lot of DH's favorite things (he's a big comic book nerd) 3. I had two "something old's"... One from my mom (A broach on my bouquet that was my Great Grandmother's and one from MIL which was a handkerchief that she carried at her wedding and her mother before her.
R/R: Had a positive OPK yesterday, HIO, if I'm actually gearing up to O my timin is great! Hubby is only working 1 job today and should be home by 5!!!! I bought new make up yesterday and got a hair cut so I'm all ready for our Anniversay date on Saturday, just need to find something to wear.

GTKY: we had a rustic wedding and put lots of the finishing touches on ourselves. I LOVED my dress and my flowers.. And cake! I am sorry if they are huge, I'm mobile!
@laurad75 no shame! I would do the same thing if my RE had wanted me to wait for a positive OPK to schedule the timing of our IUI's! hopefully you'll get a strong + soon. @dilynne I love those cake toppers, that was such a sweet surprise for your DH

So sorry, @bumpybump. So many hugs to you @PolarBear517 I believe you're expected to ovulate 12-48 hours after your first positive OPK... or at least that's what the wondfo and CBAD packages say. @CallaLily25 what a gorgeous cake!! And also I tend to still cramp even after O, so I don't think it means you didn't ovulate yet
I love all the pictures! This is such a great GTKY

R/R: I've been feeling like crap the past few days which is why I haven't really posted. But my H was kind enough to take good care of me these past few days and thankfully I'm feeling better today
CS/Q: nope
GTKU: What was your favorite detail from your wedding (I wanna see pictures!) or what detail do you look the most forward to? There was a lot that I loved, the weather was great, our location was beautiful, and I loved my dress. But the biggest surprise that I loved was my bouquet! The florist is a friend of my mom's and I'm really not good at flowers so I was vague with what I wanted (I like green, and I like orchids lol) and she blew my mind with all the flowers, but especially my bouquet!
Mobile bumping today - sorry if this is a mess/photos are huge! I'm loving all of the wedding details and photos

R/R: still trying to track when I O since I'm only tracking cm/cp and because my cycles are still wonky after stopping bc. I think I'm getting close to O, so hio just in case. In positive news, we just crossed the border into Colorado! Hence the mobile bumping.
CS/Q: nope
GTKU: What was your favorite detail from your wedding (I wanna see pictures!) or what detail do you look the most forward to? I have to say our photography. DH is a photographer, so the pictures were super important to us. Our photogs definitely didn't let us down! (Hopefully this isn't huge)!
WAYDTGKU: Not a thing at the moment. Soon: B6 vitamins (once they arrive), temping, CM
R/R: FRIDAY! Also, I have a very easy work day today (after my initial busyness) so I might be on here a lot today and plan to come back to comment later. Tomorrow is October which means--- Halloween decorations! I also got new jeans yesterday from Old Navy and they are so comfortable. I'm wearing them today. They're the ones with the built-in sculpt so they're like preparation for maternity jeans, no joke. So comfortable!
CS/Q:
GTKU: What was your favorite detail from your wedding (I wanna see pictures!) or what detail do you look the most forward to? I bought a strapless dress even though I really wanted to wear sleeves. My hometown is about 5 years behind on fashion so I bought a lace jacket and added it to my dress. It wasn't finished until 4 days before the wedding and caused so much stress. But I loved it. (Does anyone else post these pictures and think about how many people in real life might be on here?)
WAYDTGKU: vitamins, temping, checking cm, tea, etc.
R/R: Rant - I had a two hour drive this morning, which not only made for an early morning, but, since I woke up at 3:30 this morning also meant I didn't get enough solid sleep in to even attempt temping early. No biggie I guess since I'm nowhere near where I normally o, but still mildly annoying.
Rave - It's Friday!!! Plus H and I had a pretty nice conversation about how we're feeling about where we're at with TTC, and how far we are (currently) willing to take it.
CS/Q: nope
GTKU: What was your favorite detail from your wedding (I wanna see pictures!) or what detail do you look the most forward to? I loved my bouquet, both because it was gorgeous and also for the personal details incorporated. You can't see it in this photo, but my bouquet also had a pendant with a photo of my grandmother at her wedding. I also really liked our table numbers, but then, it took me forever to make them so there's that.
ETA: spelling and bump ate half my sentence. Also, obligatory aapology because I'm sure that is giant as I'm mobile.
@GeorgiaWife6912 We are in Paulding County. We got married in Dahlonega at a place called Juliet Chapel. It was absolutely beautiful! What about you??
@RunRestRepeat Same here! I show people pictures and I'm like "I made that, and this, and that..." and they are always amazed at everything I did. I was very proud of my work! My mom was a HUGE help too. She made the boutineers and most of my bouquet as well as the bridesmaid's flowers. She also made our cake/cupcakes. I kept her very busy!
@Dilynne Those cake toppers are adorable! And such a sweet surprise for your hubby. I love seeing weddings that include the guy's favorite things. It is their day too!
Edit: Can we start a discussion that is just for us to share our wedding photos/stories. I am loving this!
@motherhubbard19 I live in Macon now but I went to KSU and worked at the Tumblebus in Paulding County when I was in college. Small world! We got married at Southern Tree Plantation in Blairsville. Absolutely beautiful as well! The mountains are my happy place!

And I didn't have my glasses on so I couldn't see anything. I'm so embarassed.

CS/Q: none
GTKU: What was your favorite detail from your wedding (I wanna see pictures!) or what detail do you look the most forward to? We got married at Disney!! Everything was so magical. My favorite part was my Magic Kingdom shoot!!
@maebee87 - way to DIY! I did the same. Had MIL, SIL, 2 BFFs, and my mom help make 4 different centerpieces. I loved them! We also made tile coasters for peoples table number/food choice/thank you gift. My dad and FIL built some stuff for us too (cupcake stand, centerpiece boxes of old barn wood, etc). It's the most memorable, I think!
GTKU: What was your favorite detail from your wedding (I wanna see pictures!) or what detail do you look the most forward to? I don't have a good picture of this (I don't want to share pics with my/DH's face in them), but my favorite detail was the weather. We got married in April and there was a freak snowstorm. It was short lived and all/most guests didn't notice it until after the reception there was some snow on the ground. But! Our photographer saw it through a window and rushed DH and I outside for some couple photos.
WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, Clearblue Fertility Monitor (plus prenatal, Omega 3, B100, vitamin C, CoQ-10, green tea). EOD when he's back from his work trip.
R/R: Still no temp jump / peak yet, but the monitor stick had two faint lines, which generally means I'll get my peak tomorrow. Looks like I'll be jumping my husband tonight
CS/Q: -
GTKU: What was your favorite detail from your wedding (I wanna see pictures!) or what detail do you look the most forward to? There were tons of little details that I loved, but the best thing was the fact that we kept it tiny - only us and 17 guests. It meant that we could actually spend time with each of them.
My little sister got married a couple of weeks ago and had a HUGE wedding (and frankly, it was the wedding my mum wanted us to have too). My husband and I spent all day saying "thank fuck we didn't do this". The bride and groom were never able to relax!
@vflux33 We discussed eloping or some version of getting married with just the two of us there, but I said that it would actually break my mum's heart. We compromised with only having parents, siblings, my grandfather (the only remaining grandparent for both of us), and one friend each (as Best Man and Maid of Honour), plus the various spouses / partners.
@motherhubbard19 Oh my god, I love the speech bubbles standing up on his buttonhole!
@jeg07 I was *this* close to posting pictures, but I just can't make myself take the risk I feel like I'm fairly identifiable anyway, but I don't want to make it easier for people to find me here!
@CallaLily25 I think you really need to just listen to all the ladies here and stop worrying so much about your secondary signs. They really could mean anything. Take a deep breath and trust your temps.

@bumpybump and @khrun17 I'm such a fan of lace wedding dresses, and both of yours are gorgeous.
@PolarBear517 That's one of the classiest ring photos I've seen. You can feel the love in that pinky clasp.
@hartmich It pains me to say this as a Pittsburgh born and bred sorta gal, but that's so cool that you were married in the Ravens stadium. Any story behind the Spiderman on the cake?
@GeorgiaWife6912 You and your husband look so joyous in your photos and LOVE those boots.

GTKU: What was your favorite detail from your wedding (I wanna see pictures!) or what detail do you look the most forward to?
My husband and I are from different ends of the country, met in a third city, and moved to a fourth together after college, which meant our networks were completely spread out. We ended up having a destination wedding in southern California since anywhere we picked would be a journey for most guests, and the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. I'm a little nervous to post an actual photo of myself, but I feel like in my short time here I've already dox'd myself, so what are a few details more haha.
Ditto -- I love all the wedding pictures! I was hesitant to post anything real myself but this has really brought me back to my wedding. Yay.
@britters314 Good luck with your bloodwork and HSG! I hope you are able to get some answers, and if your thyroid is the issue, I hope that kicks your system right into gear for a baby!
@jeg07 I love that lace jacket. I added lace shoulders to my strapless dress. I love that look!

WAYDTGKU: Temping, OPKs, charting CM
R/R: Last month I had an O day dip... so I was kind of hoping for a dip today, or a spike confirming ovulation based on OPKs. But no such luck, temp is almost identical to yesterday's. My temps need to reach around 97.9 for FF to confirm ovulation and they weren't that high last cycle... this one is so different I shouldn't be worrying, but I am kind of worried that I just won't see a sufficient jump!
CS/Q: If you have multiple days of + OPKs, is it your first + or your last + that is predictive of your ovulation window?
GTKU: What was your favorite detail from your wedding (I wanna see pictures!) or what detail do you look the most forward to?
This is one of my favorite pictures from the day! We have it hanging in our house. My dress was on clearance because it had been discontinued, and I was trying to be frugal, but I splurged on adding a strap and there was enough fabric left over that the bridal shop made the bracelet in this picture for me. It's in my closet right now displayed on my jewelry organizer so I see it every time I get dressed. We weren't overly sentimental about the wedding day and put a greater portion of our budget toward the honeymoon than most couples. I actually still find our dating anniversary to be more sentimental than our wedding anniversary because it's a marker of when our journey began. But it was still a very romantic day, hiccups and all.

3. The lace wrapping my flowers is a sleeve from my mom's wedding dress. She straight up took a pair of scissors and cut it off, no problem.
@leekat14 what happens if you discard the high temp from CD 6? It's a small shift but you might have ovulated on CD 16? It looks like your temps since then have been higher than all the rest except the AF temps which can be erratic. My first cycle I completely deleted my AF temps because I was so frustrated by them haha. Your shift from yesterday to today was small... do you typically have a slow rise pattern?

WAYDTGKU: PNV, OPK, BBT, CM, CP, EOD
R/R: I intended to start using OPKs today, but got up in a haze, and didn't use FMU. I don't usually O until CD19, so I'm probably okay, but was a little irritated with myself. Also, I heard the video The Business of Being Born is super good, so I went to get it from our library yesterday, and the nice old lady who checked me out asked if I was pregnant. I couldn't believe she would ask someone that based on what they're checking out...it's like at Target or something, you don't say "so you're gonna get it on" when someone buys lube or condoms or something. It was awkward.
CS/Q: Nada. Still pleased with the "pretty-ness" of my chart this cycle!
GTKU: What was your favorite detail from your wedding (I wanna see pictures!) or what detail do you look the most forward to? I would probably say my dress too. And we had a PERFECT fall day! You can see some of the leaves changing color in the background of this pic a little. All of our pics have these big beautiful orange trees behind them that really make our pictures amazing. And I loved all the details of my dress! (side note: I HATED my bouquet...it was way bigger than I wanted - this pic doesn't show how giant it was. But MIL made it, so we just left it be.)

CS/Q: *Chart Stalk* One more day of high temps, and I'll have CH for day 12. My temp took another giant leap (98.08 to 98.57), so I'm a little skeptical that I actually ovulated and this isn't some weird product of stress/poor sleep. I'm worried my temps will plummet, and I'll actually have some weird late O or anovulatory cycle. How's it looking? @adirat I remember you told me to tag you today
Question: Any reason why I'd have cramps AFTER ovulation? Yet another reason I'm skeptical that I actually did

@bumpybump Creepy internet hugs. I can't imagine what an awful time you and your friend are going through. I hope you can have a relaxing weekend.
@leekat14 I'm always up for a CS! I would give you a CD16 ovulation. Why do you think it was later? Your temps + CM + OPK line up for CD16.
@PolarBear517 If you're still getting +OPKs, maybe today or tomorrow will be O day and you'll see a temp spike yet. It can still happen!
@hartmich I love that your mom did that! Wow.
@maebee87 Woohoo! I'm so glad you've ovulated finally! You must be so thrilled.
@CallaLily25 Did you have any CM yesterday? If not, I agree with FF that CD12 is likely. Also -- chill out. I promise it's going to be OK. Even if your temps do come back down, you're only on CD14 so you have plenty of time to O. From one crazy Type A person to another, don't let yourself go insane wondering about what "could" happen with your temps in the future.

GTKU: What was your favorite detail from your wedding (I wanna see pictures!) or what detail do you look the most forward to? my wedding was long enough ago I don't have ready access to digital photos... Getting to have my brother and 6 day old niece there. My brother was active duty military and deployed while expecting their 1st. He was going to try to be home for her birth and at the time DH was also active duty military and would deploy again before my bro would get home from his tour. It was so important to me to have him there that we planned the wedding around them. We did the wedding where my SIL was living (everyone except them came from out of town) I picked the date in the tentative window that my brother was supposed to be home. My niece was born 6 days before the wedding. I only asked that they come for the ceremony but they were amazing and made it to almost all of the wedding festivities. DH did almost all of the wedding planning and I was just along for the ride. He did a great job. My other favorite moment (though I wasn't there) was having cold pizza delivered to DH the morning of the wedding. I LOVE cold pizza for breakfast and he doesn't like anything cold. I knew it would get a reaction and I love to tease him.
@bumpybump Hugs girl. I am so sorry your going through this. Try to be good to yourself.
@leekat14 I agree it looks like CD16 O with a slow rise. if you have a higher temp tomorrow FF will give you CH. I did that last cycle with a very slow rise the first 3 days post-O and then a bigger jump. are you still using OPK? if so it might help even if they are neg.
@polarbear517 it's the last positive day that gives you your window
@hartmich that was so sweet of your mom, her sleeve worked beautifully for your flowers!
@khrun17 what a beautiful dress. we also had a fall wedding, I love the colorful leaves
@maebee87 fx for O
@georgiawife6912 I would count it as today if you were already in bed asleep. if not then I count it as yesterday
@callalily25 you could have cramping post O for all kinds of reasons. your chart looks good for having o'd. Your cake was beautiful
@hupp0013 that is a sweet tradition to have a shared wedding necklace

WAYDTGKU: all the stuff: temping, pnv, opks, green tea, acupuncture, H comes home today so we can go back to HIO; clomid earlier this cycle and we will schedule IUI the day after positive OPK
R/R: I went a little crazy this morning. Please don't judge me. I peed on all the sticks. I literally took 4 OPK's this morning. My instructions from the RE nurse are to test with SMU and then call the morning of a positive to schedule IUI for the following day. I like to test a couple of times a day so I tested yesterday when I got home from work and the second line of the CVS generic OPK looked almost as dark as the test line so I was sure the CB digital would show a positive this morning. Nope. So about an hour later I went insane and tested on three different tests (wondo, CVS and CB). The CVS was similar to last night but not matching, the wondfo was almost positive and the CB was obviously another negative. I'm confident I will get the positive in the next few days. Meanwhile, I forgot to empty the bathroom trash so H is on his way home right now and going to find a collection of OPK's in the trash. I usually try to hide my crazy from him. I'm so ashamed.

GTKU: What was your favorite detail from your wedding (I wanna see pictures!) or what detail do you look the most forward to? I LOVED my wedding. I was very focused on making it great party and everyone seemed to have a great time. Its hard to pick a favorite detail but first runner up would be that it was Derby Day so we had a Kentucky Derby viewing party during the cocktail hour with silly Derby favors and H's friends made a betting board. My favorite detail was that the dance floor was packed all night. It was the best day. Here is a pic of me rocking the dance floor.

@PolarBear517: We weren't super focused on the day either and also spent more on the honeymoon. We actually wanted to elope, but one of my parents was not cool with that so we went for it. It was great, but if no one had persuaded us I would've also been happy just getting it done real quick in a forest or something and then going on vacation.

WAYDTGKU: just started the OPK again this morning, plus other stuff
R/R: Rant: My TTC efforts are starting to thwart each other. I have been drinking more water and keeping track of it, which makes me pee too much, especially at night, and then this time I had to "save" it for FMU on OPK, which messed up my sleep a lot, which is bad for TTC. I am going to start drinking more water earlier today so that hopefully won't happen all OPK mornings (which was 9 mornings for me last cycles and I will go BSC if I have messed up sleep that many nights in a row). Rave: Approaching FW and the weekend, which is always good.
CS/Q: Is RRL tea bad during the TWW? I feel like I've heard conflicting info on this. Something about it clearing out your uterus which could be bad if there's an egg attaching. But... it's just herbal tea--is that really a thing? I really like the flavor and I'd like to use it all cycle, but obviously won't if the clearing out uterus thing is true.

I bought a strapless dress even though I really wanted to wear sleeves. My hometown is about 5 years behind on fashion so I bought a lace jacket and added it to my dress.

GTKU: What was your favorite detail from your wedding (I wanna see pictures!) or what detail do you look the most forward to?
I don't have a good picture of this (I don't want to share pics with my/DH's face in them), but my favorite detail was the weather. We got married in April and there was a freak snowstorm. It was short lived and all/most guests didn't notice it until after the reception there was some snow on the ground. But! Our photographer saw it through a window and rushed DH and I outside for some couple photos.

GTKU: What was your favorite detail from your wedding (I wanna see pictures!) or what detail do you look the most forward to?
Our first dance was to a punk version of Can You Feel the Love Tonight. It was also outside on a bridge so the pictures are great.
ETA: I was going to add a picture, but it was huge and I can't figure out how to resize it on my work computer. Oh well.
@bumpybump and @khrun17 I'm such a fan of lace wedding dresses, and both of yours are gorgeous.
@PolarBear517 That's one of the classiest ring photos I've seen. You can feel the love in that pinky clasp.
@hartmich It pains me to say this as a Pittsburgh born and bred sorta gal, but that's so cool that you were married in the Ravens stadium. Any story behind the Spiderman on the cake?
@GeorgiaWife6912 You and your husband look so joyous in your photos and LOVE those boots.
@CallaLily25 THAT CAKE. Wow! Stunning.
@hupp0013, @mrsn092714, and @manillalabar I love all of your bouquets.
@laurad75 I hope your photographer uses that photo as part of his or her marketing. You are having the best time.
@Dilynne Ok, that cake topper and gorgeous texture on the cake made my day.
@motherhubbard19 That broach is stunning, and I love the contrast between such a traditional detail and the action figures.
@RunRestRepeat and @jeg07 holy gorgeous scenery!
@zwink1 We did a vintage book centerpiece theme as well - yours is stunning.
I apologize to anyone I missed! So much wedding goodness abounds.

WAYDTGKU: Vitamins, temp'ing, opk'ing, probably shooting for EOD once CD 8 hits.
R/R: I'm an SAT tutor, which means a lot of night and weekend work, but all of my students are taking their tests this weekend, which means I have the next three days completely open. Thriving.
CS/Q: nope
GTKU: What was your favorite detail from your wedding (I wanna see pictures!) or what detail do you look the most forward to?
My husband and I are from different ends of the country, met in a third city, and moved to a fourth together after college, which meant our networks were completely spread out. We ended up having a destination wedding in southern California since anywhere we picked would be a journey for most guests, and the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. I'm a little nervous to post an actual photo of myself, but I feel like in my short time here I've already dox'd myself, so what are a few details more haha.

Ditto -- I love all the wedding pictures! I was hesitant to post anything real myself but this has really brought me back to my wedding. Yay.
@britters314 Good luck with your bloodwork and HSG! I hope you are able to get some answers, and if your thyroid is the issue, I hope that kicks your system right into gear for a baby!
@jeg07 I love that lace jacket. I added lace shoulders to my strapless dress. I love that look!
