WAYDTGKU?: PNV, BBT, OPK, EOD, Preseed
R/R: I'm drinking warm coffee!
CS/Q:My temp was at coverline today so higher than normal but it's totally throwing me for a loop because I thought I would O today. Could a coverline temp be considered a post-O temp? Or has anyone had an O day temp at coverline? I had 3 days of positive OPKs, yesterday being the 3rd day (digital so there was no doubt).
GTKY: 50 Shades Darker; yes or no?
Yes, I read the books and saw the first movie.

WAYDTGKU?:PNVs, Ubiquinol, temping, drinking Pom juice
R/R: so H and I were trying to figure out where to go for spring break. He's not a big traveller like I am & most places he wants to go we can't because of zika or because most of it includes drinking, which I gave up. Sooooooo I came up with Shanghai Disneyland!!! I have been to all of the other Disney Parks and loved that fact until they opened this new one. And I've every 5th year. Grew up going to Disney World, went to Disneyland Paris in 2002, went to Disneyland for the first time in 2007, and then both Hong Kong Disneland & Tokyko Disneyland/ Tokyo Seas in 2012. So this trip in 2017 fits perfectly!! H is worried about our safety over there with Trump--fears there will be retaliation against Americans. What do you guys think?
CS/Q: And would it be crazy to try to NOT get pregnant this cycle? Then my next FW would be while we're in Shanghai.
GTKY: 50 Shades Darker; yes or no? Yes. I know it's gonna be cheesy and horrible but I still wanna see it.
CD: 20
WAYDTGKU?: bbt cm PNV etc
R/R: yesterday I had a "woe is me" moment. I'm better today. We had a quiet night at home and I bought a strawberry shortcake ( they didn't have cheesecake , darn) and all was right with the world.
CS/Q: I'm assuming today is only 2 days past O , so maybe tomorrow I'll see CH on FF . I do both FF and Ovia. I had a pretty big spike today in temp.
GTKY: 50 Shades Darker; yes or No? Honestly it's one i haven't jumped on the bandwagon with.

@mispanda mmm coffee. And yesterday was insane. I didn't jump in , but to those who held strong , I see you. You amazing pieces of awesomeness.
@purplg8r omgoodness! I so would love to travel to all the Disneyland parks! How fun! That sounds like an amazing trip!

WAYDTGKU?: PNV, BBT
R/R: wish I would have ordered some OPKs. CM has been fairly reliable in the past but it would be nice to know within a day or two range rather than 3-5 day range of O
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: 50 Shades Darker; yes or no? I enjoyed the books but was not a fan of who they casted for the main character. I just envisioned him looking differently.
@canonmom413 morning cycle buddy! I hope to follow you soon over to the TWW
@purplg8r your vacation sounds AMAZING. Not sure about the safety issue, but I haven't heard anything specific to be concerned about
This is a question for you all ( especially @BusinessWife ) : I had a positive opk Saturday night and early Sunday morning. It was light ( negative) Sunday night and yesterday both morning and afternoon - I didn't take one at night. We DTD last night too just because we still haven't gotten CH. Anyway, took another OPK this morning and it's positive again. @BusinessWife you did mention that I could have had a false LH surge. It looks to be so. Or is this one a false LH surge? Only time will tell right?!? Until I see those CH, I can't assume anything ?
I apologize, I should have written this in my answer above, but I just took the OPK.
Edit: words

WAYDTGKU?: HIO EOD, PNV, CM, BBT, physical symptoms
R/R: My. F'n. Mother. She can be so overbearing. And she lives 2 hours away! Her latest stunt is a fun one. DH turns 30 next week. She called my sister and asked if she and my BIL were available to come down to my house and celebrate before she asked me. My sister called me to iron out the details and I was so confused. I told her no offense, but DH isn't big on birthdays. He'll probably celebrate with his parents and then he and I will do something just the two of us. So my sister told my mom no. Keep in mind my sister and BIL both turned 30 not too long ago and my mother didn't even mention it. Next thing I know, my mom is telling me her and my father are driving down for his birthday and when will be a good time. You aren't invited. She pulls this shit all the time. I'm just so sick of it. You can't just invite yourself places and make up bogus excuses to barge in when you want attention. /rant
CS/Q: I am so bummed about my chart. I was hoping for a spike today, but it plummeted. Most of the good HIO we did this week is now a waste. Gah. /rant2
GTKY: Looks like I have the UO here, so I'll put it in a spoiler box.
Let's start this off with the fact that I was not a Twilight fan. #HP4Lyfe. I thought the premise was stupid. I thought the writing was terrible. Not a fan. Anywho. 50 Shades was originally published online as Twilight fan fiction. And not on any independent site. On a fan fiction forum site. They literally post her SN on the inside of the books because they have to give it credit. It's laughable how terrible the writing is. It is an insult to the BDSM community and dangerous for those who think it's an accurate representation of a healthy relationship. So much nope that I can't nope anymore. /rant3
@purpleg8r I didn't even know there was a Disneyland in Shanghai! That sounds fun. I wouldn't worry about retaliation in China. There are no State Department travel warnings for China (yet) so you're probably OK. Just register with the State Department that you're there before you go (assuming you're American, that is). As for not trying for a cycle...that's a personal decision. I wouldn't do it because of my particular circumstances (I ain't gettin' any younger!) but if you want to be able to enjoy your vacation thoroughly and you're in a place where skipping one cycle won't be a big deal, then sure! One thing I will say is that I put off vacations for two years while TTC because I didn't want to be pregnant and be somewhere I wanted to drink (Italy, e.g.). But now it's been two years without a vacation and it really, really sucked and I regret having done that (but hindsight is 20/20, how was I supposed to know I wouldn't be pregnant in all that time?).
Oh, and read the "Brown spotting instead of period" thread from yesterday and all will be illuminated
Month/Cycle: 7/7 post-myomectomy
CD: 21
WAYDTGKU?: OPKs, PNVs, BBT, Ubiquinol, Melatonin, Vitamin D, GDTPT
R/R: I think I'm going anovulatory this cycle. It's a premature diagnosis, but my OPKs went from getting darker to disappearing lines so I'm not holding out hope. My CM was also indicating O approaching so I'll see how that goes. At least I'm not too down because if there's no pregnancy this cycle then IVF starts next cycle. I just don't want it to be delayed because of an extra long cycle!
CS/Q: Take a look if you like, but it's not doing much right now but confusing me.
GTKY: 50 Shades Darker; yes or no? I saw the first movie and was like "meh." The girl was annoying with her neediness and whining. Her roommate got the better deal by getting with the hot brother who isn't a whackjob who was clearly sexually abused as a child. The funny thing is my ex told me he was molested by his mother's friend when he was 13 (female, she gave him a BJ) and since then he sees sex as having power over someone. So at least they got the symptoms of abuse right! So I guess my answer is "Only for free on HBO."

WAYDTGKU?: all the things mostly
R/R: I just got a call from some lady in my RE office saying how I never signed up for the infertility program with my insurance and she's been trying to get pre authorization for my trigger and doesn't have my records and Yada Yada basically being rude. Like lady I didn't even know there was an infertility program through my insurance and I did have the records sent, but my old RE didn't send them all like idk what to tell you. Call them.
CS/Q:
GTKY: 50 Shades Darker; yes or no? Meh. I loved the books (minus the last one because I feel like it was rushed because they were tired of writing) but I don't like the cacting choices. I watched it with DH about 2 months ago finally because I refused before that so we'll see.
@mispanda I wouldn’t put too much stock on the coverline. As @eggplantface said it’s really just a tool for you to see the temp shift more clearly and it may not be the same every month. Also, it’s possible that you O’d yesterday and this is the first of 3 high temps. Only time will tell
@purplg8r I guess it depends on your reasoning for TTA for a cycle on whether or not it would be crazy.
@canonmom413 I only started OPKs recently so I can’t speak from experience but I have seen some women on here get a false surge on a +OPK. I would just keep temping and POAS to see what happens.
@LoveInDC I’m sorry your mom is being a jerk and doesn’t understand boundaries.
@eggplantface Fx this cycle isn’t an-O cycle for you and the OPKs start to get darker soon!
@kaitlink33 I never heard of having to sign up for an infertility program on insurance. Shouldn’t it just either be covered or not??
Month/Cycle: 8/12 (5 an-O)
CD: 7
WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPK, CM, CP, PNV, Magnesium, EPO, vitamin D3, green tea, limiting caffeine, myo-inositol
R/R: So yesterday and again today, I’ve been feeling really wet but when I check CM it’s still pretty scant. I’m not sure if this is a good thing or not. Honestly, I’m just hoping that I actually O. I’ve only had one cycle since September/October that I’ve confirmed O.
CS/Q: Has anyone had an OPK go from a really faint line to a blazing positive? Typically, I O around CD 10 but when I took an OPK yesterday it was basically the squintiest squinter ever and I thought it might be a little bit darker if I was going to O “on time”
GTKY: 50 Shades Darker; yes or no? I read all the books and I enjoyed them simply for the fact that they’re hot. I did see the first movie but only after it was on HBO. I will most likely do the same with this one.

WAYDTGKU?: temping, CM, PNV
R/R: I've been assigned with teaching a co-worker how to take calls from another department that I'm familiar with and am taking calls for. I've had to come up with the training material myself which essentially is just a bunch of common scenarios and a walk-through on what articles to reference. I've ran into a bit of a brick wall with some of it because I need already existing examples in a training version of the program we use to take calls. The only way I can acquire these already existing examples is if the facilitators (people who's job it is to train people normally) give me their training material and they're super possessive over it. My supervisor sent an email asking about it and they haven't answered. Training is supposed to start next week. COME ON people you're killing me.
CS/Q:
GTKY: 50 Shades Darker; yes or no? Omg no. No no no. I read the books and remember being very irritated most of the time. The guy would do abusive things and they were hardly ever addressed but it was fine because they were in love *gag* As for the first movie, I never saw it. My H had it on tv one day but I wasn't paying attention to it because I was doing other stuff. But from the little I caught, I thought Ana was soooo whiny. So no, I won't be watching the second one.

eggplantface Hopefully you do O, sorry I am not great with interpreting tricky charts.
mispanda Is it possible that you O'd yesterday and your temp is on it's way up now?
@kaitlink33 Ugh, that sucks your RE's office didn't send the info and there is a program you didn't know exists. I don't understand why insurance has to be do difficult to navigate.
LoveInDC When do you normally O? Still possible for the spike to happen soon and can get one more HIO in.
canonmom413 Woe is me moments are hard. Hang in there. And eat lots of desserts, you are right, they make life a little better

WAYDTGKU?: PNV, BBT and Pom Juice, then adding the rest during FW
R/R:
Rant: I don't know what is up with my temps this cycle, so much for consistency. Thinking about stopping temps after confirming O.
Also, I am so tired lately even though I have been sleeping through the night. I am actually getting more sleep (less insomnia if I take Natural Calm), but feel more exhausted. It makes no sense.
Rave: Hmmm...it's Tuesday, so far, not too bad. The weather is warmer than the last few days. That's all I got for now.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: 50 Shades Darker; yes or no?
I have read all the books, but only seen the first movie. It was so-so. I may watch it at some point, but not a must.

WAYDTGKU?: All the things + Metformin
R/R: Getting to the fun art of the cycle!
CS/Q:
GTKY: 50 Shades Darker; yes or no? Meh. I'm going to say no. I started the first book and got bored so I haven't kept up.

Will be back for comments and LTs.
@kaitlink33 Ugh, as if dealing with all that isn't stressful enough, why do they have to act like you're putting them out?
@lulu1180 Yes! I've had positive OPKs literally sneak up on me. I have to start testing 2-3x/day once I see a smidgen of a line because I've had it go from negative in the afternoon to positive that night.

EDD: March 24, 2018 - angel baby at 21 weeks
Today is a shitty shitty busy day. But I promised you all replies, and TB helps me relax. So here we go!
@FLAshley – Enjoy your relaxing day and the gym! I envy you today lol
@mispanda – I’m still trying to figure out charting myself, but FX it all makes sense soon!
@purplg8r – That sounds so exciting! I’ve only ever been to Disneyland. DH and I were discussing going to Disney World this summer. I can’t imagine going to every one in the world!
@canonmom413 – Dessert makes everything better. Hugs for your hard day (and on your birthday no less!). FX you get your CH soon!
@cdnrunning – It’s awesome that you can rely on CM so much. Hopefully you don’t come back here, but if you do, you know you have one more thing to add to your bag of tricks
@eggplantface – FX it’s not an an-O cycle for you. Hopefully it all makes sense soon!
@kaitlink33 – Ugh, I hate arguing with doctor offices about insurance things. Argue with each other! Leave me out of it please.
@lulu1180 – Thanks. I should expect this from her by now. It’s just so frustrating. FX for O this cycle for you.
@freeislove – Sorry work is being so annoying. I hate when people are super possessive for no reason. Who is it going to hurt to share?
@dragonfly87 – I’m still trying to figure my cycle out. This is my first time tracking BBT, but I was going off my CM last cycle. I don’t know, I was just feeling it and it’s disappointing to know I was wrong. DH and I are going to HIO until I get CH, but our timing would have been awesome if I spiked today. FX your temps start making sense!
@Dilynne – Woot! HIO time! Enjoy the fun
@cactusblossum – I’m glad your foot is feeling better! Have fun with your pup tonight
@heatherdubrow – Hugs for CD1 and stupid warnings
@haylsbayls – Yay for smiles on OPK! HIO!

CS/Q: nope
GTKY: 50 Shades Darker; yes or no? meh. the books were fine trashy reading but really no one has that much sex...
@mispanda the coverline is arbitrary and changes every cycle so I wouldn't sweat it too much
@purplg8r the trip sounds like a blast, but I don't think it is unreasonable to be concerned about reprisals against americans
@canonmom413 yes you can get false surges. I do, though not every cycle. Keep temping, using those OPKs and HIO!
@loveindc ugg so not cool!!
@lulu1180 yes my wondfos go from squinter to blazing some cycles and others its a gradual progression. GL!

CS/Q: like @purplg8r, I've had light spotting ever since AF left. Weird.
GTKY: 50 Shades Darker; yes or no? Eh, I might watch it when it comes out on Netlfix. I only read the first book, and thought the first movie was "meh." I'm sure it'll be some good mindless fluff to watch.

I read the books but I am not a big fan of the movie. I will watch it, but I won't be going out of my way to do so.

@canonmom413 strawberry shortcake sounds divine. Glad you're feeling better today.
@cdnrunning TOTALLY agree about the main character. Have you seen The Fall? He's in that too, and he's MUCH better as a serial killer than as Christian Grey.
@LoveInDC Oh I would be so mad at your mom!!! Yeah, you don't invite yourself places..... and you especially don't invite other people to places that aren't your own house. Do you think you'll be able to put her off? My mom keeps threatening to come visit again (we didn't invite her) because all of our family that are local to her are too "real" and honest with her about her life - and she doesn't like hearing the truth. She doesn't realize that my DH and I share my family's opinion on her and her life (which is that she's an immature nutjob), but we're able to avoid saying so because we live 800 miles away.
@eggplantface FX for O soon! Or at least for a normal-length cycle that doesn't delay IVF
@kaitlink33 sorry for the insurance/doctor red-tape hassle!
@lulu1180 I've had OPKs jump to positive quickly, but it's usually when I POAS hungover (aka really dehydrated) lol. I'm normally over-hydrated which I take into account.
@feeislove sorry about the employee training debacle! It doesn't make sense that the other department is so possessive over their training material.
@cactusblossum I'm glad your foot is feeling better!
@heatherdubrow I'm honestly surprised that I haven't gotten a warning yet. The BGs are so weird about who they choose to hand warnings to.... it makes zero sense.

Oct. '17 June S.C. "You Had 1 Job"
ETA: also, I like that they are the ones who told the RE office about having to enroll in this program and now they're saying no....I mean seriously get your shit together.
It's not the same, but I was considering some expensive rehab therapy last year that included chiropractic care (about $6,000) and I got inconsistent insurances answers. First person I called told me there was no coverage and that I had a $5,000 deductible. I told her multiple times that when I logged in online it showed a $2,500 deductible and chiropractic was covered up to 20 visits. After arguing for 10 minutes, I hung up. I called back and asked to speak to a manager. They confirmed what I thought to begin with, $2,500 deductible and 20 visits.
It's ridiculous how much insurance companies make and they cannot seem to figure this stuff out.
