@adirat Dang! I finally come back after a short bump break and you're already leaving me! jk...I'll still stalk you over there. FX for you!
@LoveinDC I highly recommend temping, even if it's not for TTC purpose, but just to get to know your body better especially since you're coming off BC. OPKs are also helpful to use in conjunction with temping. I have a varied LP. Over the past year, my LP has been anywhere from 11 to 17 days (confirmed with temping) which is why my OB wants to refer me to an RE. It's easy to find a lot of information from Dr. Google for a short LP (less than 10 days), but not so much about varied. From what I've found, it should be fairly consistent (within a day or two). It's possible it may even out as your body gets used to being off BC, but it's definitely something to keep an eye on.
@feeislove Based on those temps, I'm going to say no O yet, keep HIO. I thought I read somewhere that FF will give CH once you have three temps that are higher than your previous six...not sure on that last figure, but definitely takes three days of higher temps to get CH on FF. You should be able to see a definite shift after you O.

@linzrunz Hey, great to see you back! You know I actually almost told @loveindc there is one person here with a variable LP (you) but I didn't want to drag you out if you were taking a bump break
Lurking from the TWW** @loveindc as the other ladies have said your LP should be fairly consistent. One other thing that can cause a variable LP is breast feeding. Often your LP is short PP and then will gradually lengthen but may not return to normal untill weaning.

Add @linzrunz and @wabash15 to the list of awesome people who have helped me today. Alright, you all wore me down! I just ordered a MABIS BBT. I'll start temping on Monday (when AF disappears) and logging it into FF. Let's figure out what the heck my body is doing!

Just another two cents..My LP was so consistent when TTC DS, only off by a day or so. But now TTC #2, it's been so variable. I can attest that BF definitely affects it. DS weaned completely in August and I'm still waiting for my "normal" cycle to return. It should be consistent though when all is running smoothly.
WAYDTGKU: Femara + trigger + IUI, and all the rest but I don't bother temp or OPK because of trigger, plus my wake times are inconsistent at best.
R/R: If the fake baked potato could kindly STFU about the will of the American people, since he lost the popular vote, I'd be happier. Or at least not be wanting to get drunk as hell already.

GTKY: What did you want to be when you were in high school? Are you doing that now, or something completely different?
In HS, knew I wanted to work with animals, but didn't like school enough. Fell into raptor recovery job, now on outreach education.
@VLillyV it really depends on the person. some people only get EWCM on one day others will have it for a week. For me I usually get fertile CM (watery or EWCM) for 3-7 days prior to O. So if possible I would start HIO but it may still be several days before O. GL

Yeah, he's a fake baked potato or talentless Oompa Loompa here. If DH and I haven't had alcohol already.
@feeislove Just keep in mind that the app you are using is only basing your fertile period and possible O date off of past cycles and/or what is considered to be "the norm". FF is going to be more accurate, but like the others said, it still is not perfect. I definitely second @zwink1 on keeping it for the entertainment factor though.

I had two reeeeaaaallllyyyy similar temps back to back (97.47 yesterday and 97.46 today) so now I am paranoid that my thermometer is dying even though it seems way too soon.

I think it was a mix between a teacher, a lawyer, and a physical therapist. I am now an occupational therapist so not entirely off track.
@sarelizr - Of course! My degree is a B.A. in English Language & Literature with a minor in Creative Writing (Poetry). Technical writing and poetry surprisingly have a lot in common. Everything else I learned about technical writing was a combination of experience, instinct, and advice from technical writer friends I made.
I'll be back later to read everyone's posts and see how they are!

R/R: I compared this month's beginning temps to the last few months, and I believe it's going to be another anovulatory cycle. Meanwhile I'm having weird cramps. My opks from yesterday and the day before were a little darker than today's, but I know I haven't ovulated. And all around... just observing because that's all I can do. For every aspect of my life, I can only wait and see.
GTKY: I wanted to be an actress. I wanted to start with theater and then move onto movies if I could. I wanted to be challenged in roles, to feel and show emotions I don't normal get to without feeling guilty. Life would have been one big imaginary adventure.
But. Now I'm a housewife with no house and a touch of the blargles.

I literally had no idea in high school (or college tbh). I am now an attorney and really like it so I guess it worked out haha
@kiwi2628 I am right there with your gif haha @cdnrunning i hate when work gets in the way of bumping haha @canonmom413 so jelly of your day off!! I need these next two hours to fly by haha @sorry no O in sight yet, hope it comes soon for you! @ag90 have a blast in Philly!!! @heatherdubrow that would be such an awesome way to channel all of this into a career and as @canonmom413 said, you would have the compassion and drive to help. @travelingcouple so glad to hear everyone is feeling better and about the +OPK! @linzrunz welcome back! @kmornelas29 good luck, hope we don't see you again
@GG620 Great job on cutting the coffee!! I only drink one cup a day but if I don't have that cup by mid afternoon my head will be pounding. I think I may switch to tea at some point so I'm still getting some caffeine, just less.
R/R: cd2 is crampy and back pain day, yay! That plus cold and rainy. But yay Friday! I'm staring at the clock willing it to move faster... Jealous of you east coasters and it already being 5 o'clock...
CS/Q: nada
GTKY: What did you want to be when you were in high school? Are you doing that now, or something completely different? In high school, I wanted to manage a horse farm. That's not what I do now but my field is small and I want to keep my internet anonymity.
R/R I've had the worst cramp for 2 days. It's only on my left side and I'm not sure if it's ovulation pain or I just need to poop because I have been "backed up" the past few days. I had copious amount of EWCM a few days ago and still have some (but less). We BD on CD 13, last night the cramp was so bad I couldn't. I'm going to buy some prune juice or a laxative later today and hopefully we can BD tonight.
GTKY: I changed my mind a lot but I know that an architect was a big one, I even checked out a college for it. At the tour a professor spoke to the group and said if you want to have a paying job, don't be an architect. Well there was no way my dad was going to let me go to an expensive school in Boston and not have a good paycheck after. I ended up majoring in Economics, which I kind of like. I'm more into community and economic development. Right now I'm a part time DoD contractor and on my days off I substitute teach at the school on base.
WAYDTGKU: PNVs, OPKs, CM, BBT, HIO EOD-ED during FW
R/R: Rant: My co-worker's grandfather passed away yesterday. I feel bad for him and my T&P are with his family, but the team for some reason thinks I can just do everything he does when I only understand maybe 25% of what he does. It's creating some very long and very stressful days. I don't want him to come back until he's ready, but I really hope he's back Monday. Rave: It's the weekend!
CS/Q: Nothing today
GTKY: What did you want to be when you were in high school? Are you doing that now, or something completely different? I really wanted to be a teacher. I had a really hard time in college though. I was one of those students that did really well in high school with out ever having to study so college was a tough adjustment. Now I'm a contracts assistant at an aerospace company.
WAYDTGKU: PNV, BD, BBT, 2 fertility apps (so I can compare) more BD
R/R: MIL and FIL are visiting this weekend. (Andvthere was much rejoicing. Yay.)
CS/Q: I'm still trying to figure out all of the TTC info. We've never put effort into TTGP before, so I never really learned it. Guess who going to be lurking all over these boards? (This girl!!)
GTKY: What did you want to be when you were in high school? Are you doing that now, or something completely different? I planned to star on Broadway, and I even got a BFA in musical theatre performance, but I forgot to factor in rejection. My self-esteem has never been great at handling day-in-day-out rejection, particularly when it's often not due to something I can control, so aside from the occasional community theatre production, my character shoes have been hung up. I fell into product design and development (mostly shoes), but we moved for DH's job, and I haven't found anything around here yet.
@cactusblossum sorry for the late reply We're cruising on the Carnival Breeze. This will be my second time on this particular ship. We have also cruised RCL, and NCL. They're all pretty similar especially when you cruise on the newer ships. We dock at Montego Bay and we're spending the day and the Hilton Rose Hall resort, it has a mini water park and it'll be an all inclusive day pass. I have done the falls - but it was a very long time ago - SO AMAZING!!
@canonmom413 I've been working for the same company since I was in college. At first it was just an hourly job to pay the bills and now it's turned into my career. I ended up being recruited from a manager in the US while I was still working in Montreal (originally from Winnipeg). And here I am (many years later) and I still love it.
@linzrunz I sometimes get insomnia around O. Do you think it's hormonal for you? @cdnrunning We stayed at Sandals Montego Bay when we were on our Honeymoon! @UberMcAngi Good luck with the job search! @slaven Hopefully that pain was O! I've found kiwi also helps move things along and tastes much better than prune juice! @mythril I don't see O on your chart yet, but it's still early!! @Pinky517 My suggestion is to take your temp at different times of the day to test if the thermometer shows different temps. If it does, it's fine! @feeislove@LoveinDC I agree that there seems to be something wrong with your apps
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
@NYTino24 that sounds AMAZING!!! I've been considering a land vacation for our next trip rather than a cruise but I keep on planning cruises. I can't help myself.
@cdnrunning we were docked next to the breeze fairly recently, it looks like a great ship! We've done carnival, RCL, and most recently ncl, too. I thought NCL came up a step short in just about every category versus the other two. We have a princess cruise booked later this year. (we book on itinerary first, price second). If you haven't done it before, consider doing chefs table. Its about $75 per person extra but you get a tour of the kitchen during dinner, the most amazing food ever and like 7 courses of it, and a unlimited boatload of yummy wine.

R/R: cd2 is crampy and back pain day, yay! That plus cold and rainy. But yay Friday! I'm staring at the clock willing it to move faster... Jealous of you east coasters and it already being 5 o'clock...
CS/Q: nada
GTKY: What did you want to be when you were in high school? Are you doing that now, or something completely different?
In high school, I wanted to manage a horse farm. That's not what I do now but my field is small and I want to keep my internet anonymity.
CD: 15
R/R I've had the worst cramp for 2 days. It's only on my left side and I'm not sure if it's ovulation pain or I just need to poop because I have been "backed up" the past few days. I had copious amount of EWCM a few days ago and still have some (but less). We BD on CD 13, last night the cramp was so bad I couldn't. I'm going to buy some prune juice or a laxative later today and hopefully we can BD tonight.
GTKY: I changed my mind a lot but I know that an architect was a big one, I even checked out a college for it. At the tour a professor spoke to the group and said if you want to have a paying job, don't be an architect. Well there was no way my dad was going to let me go to an expensive school in Boston and not have a good paycheck after. I ended up majoring in Economics, which I kind of like. I'm more into community and economic development. Right now I'm a part time DoD contractor and on my days off I substitute teach at the school on base.
TTC since August 2018

R/R: Rant: My co-worker's grandfather passed away yesterday. I feel bad for him and my T&P are with his family, but the team for some reason thinks I can just do everything he does when I only understand maybe 25% of what he does. It's creating some very long and very stressful days. I don't want him to come back until he's ready, but I really hope he's back Monday. Rave: It's the weekend!
CS/Q: Nothing today
GTKY: What did you want to be when you were in high school? Are you doing that now, or something completely different? I really wanted to be a teacher. I had a really hard time in college though. I was one of those students that did really well in high school with out ever having to study so college was a tough adjustment. Now I'm a contracts assistant at an aerospace company.

R/R: MIL and FIL are visiting this weekend. (Andvthere was much rejoicing. Yay.)
CS/Q: I'm still trying to figure out all of the TTC info. We've never put effort into TTGP before, so I never really learned it. Guess who going to be lurking all over these boards? (This girl!!)
GTKY: What did you want to be when you were in high school? Are you doing that now, or something completely different? I planned to star on Broadway, and I even got a BFA in musical theatre performance, but I forgot to factor in rejection. My self-esteem has never been great at handling day-in-day-out rejection, particularly when it's often not due to something I can control, so aside from the occasional community theatre production, my character shoes have been hung up. I fell into product design and development (mostly shoes), but we moved for DH's job, and I haven't found anything around here yet.
@canonmom413 I've been working for the same company since I was in college. At first it was just an hourly job to pay the bills and now it's turned into my career. I ended up being recruited from a manager in the US while I was still working in Montreal (originally from Winnipeg). And here I am (many years later) and I still love it.
@cdnrunning We stayed at Sandals Montego Bay when we were on our Honeymoon!
@UberMcAngi Good luck with the job search!
@slaven Hopefully that pain was O! I've found kiwi also helps move things along and tastes much better than prune juice!
@mythril I don't see O on your chart yet, but it's still early!!
@Pinky517 My suggestion is to take your temp at different times of the day to test if the thermometer shows different temps. If it does, it's fine!
@feeislove @LoveinDC I agree that there seems to be something wrong with your apps
