WAYDTGKU: waiting for CHs
R/R: I ovulated! I ovulated! I ovulated! I'm a little bummed that I'll probably have to wait until Saturday to get my CHs since I'm not sure I will sleep at all on Friday, but I'm pretty happy regardless.
CS/Q:
GTKY: I have two dogs and four cats, so I'm going to go with pet supplies and vet visits. They are totes worth it.

Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD: 8 (this seems to be going kinda quickly for me this time which is good)
WAYDTGKU: pnv (does this really help? more just being ready for when it does happen right?), bbt, and I finally started all kinds of letters: cp, opk, hio, cm today hopefully. I had all kinds of intentions to check cm yesterday but we had surprise sex before I could check
R/R: all rave - headed "up north" to the thumb of MI for beach vaca with the girls tomorrow. It'll be pretty chill so hopefully I'll have time to keep bumping. Hope the drinking and funky sleep schedule won't mess with my chart too much. I'll keep my normal alarm to temp.
CS/Q: question... what time of day does everyone use opk? I used the ones you pee on a couple times years ago so it's pretty new to me. I started OPKs yesterday since I have 50 wandfos and wanted to see what they were like. But I don't get home until 5:30. I'll be on vaca for a few days so I can do it whenever I'm not at the beach but I read you want to try to keep the same schedule if possible. I've read it's best to do late morning / mid day but usually I'm at work. Does anyone do this at work? I imagine it's easier to use ones you pee on than the wandfos at work in a public bathroom. Any advice? Thanks
Chart for fun... I finally have a working mabis, woo! And my temp this morning was within range of my old ones so I'll keep them all for now.
GTKY: Aside from essentials, what do you spend the most money on? Probably eating out at restaurants, shopping at home improvement stores, and buying not-cheap wine
@pebbledam Yay for ovulating! Also, what kind of dogs and cats do you have? We have one pup (he is actually almost 8), but we have been debating getting a second dog.
@cards10 Your girls' weekend sounds like so much fun! Any fun plans? Will you all cook the whole weekend or go out to eat? Will you share a room with anyone? (I think that was my challenge at the beach last month...trying to temp with my mom in the room! ha!)
As for your question regarding OPKs, I try to test at the same time each day (usually 12pm and 10pm because I read it was good to space them apart by 8-10 hours if testing more than 1x a day). I set an alarm on my phone. Occasionally, I will even test FMU too just to be safe because I have gotten positive opks really early in the morning (and not the not before).
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD: 6
WAYDTGKU: charting, pom juice, green tea
R/R: 6 mile morning run and watered my flowers too!
CS/Q:
GTKY: Aside from essentials, what do you spend the most money on?
Maybe books? Or pedicures? I like to get a pedicure 1x a month.

@cards10 Totally hio over cm!! Every time! Have an amazing time at the beach too. Super jealous about that. I have just done the once a day testing with opk's. When I got home and still managed to catch my surge. However I know some start testing twice a day when they feel they are close. Just to be sure not to miss it.
Month/Cycle: 2/3
CD: 3
WAYDTGKU: pnv, opk, bbt, epo, acupuncture, hio
R/R: Meeting some girls for drinks after work today and the sun has come out. So bring on that patio weather! It is going to be a busy day at work and my car is in the shop, boo.
CS/Q: Just for reference.....
GTKY: Aside from essentials, what do you spend the most money on? Its between the house and the dog. Our dog tore both of his ACL's before he was two years old. Between the surgeries, therapy and meds, he is now worth more than my car (not that that is saying much, but still). He still continues to be accident prone, you know knocking out his front tooth etc. But damn he is cute and so worth every penny!
Enjoy the lovely weather and drinks with your friends!
re opk @pebbledam
thanks, I'll do it a couple times a day to see how long my surge is so I don't miss it. I imagine I'll be doing it for a while since I've only confirmed O once with temping and it was CD17, but oh well I have a lot of cheapies.
and peeing into the wandfo package... brilliant! Here I was picturing myself walking down the hallway with a plastic cup. Oh nothing, Bill, just getting a tiny drink of water <facepalm>
ETA ...tags....
@cards10 - Girls weekend sounds so very fun!!
@dukestar5 - WTG! I need to start running again, if only I was a morning person and would run in the morning.
@nitnat007 - What kind of dog do you have!?

CS/Q:
GTKY: Aside from essentials, what do you spend the most money on? That is for sure LuLaRoe! I can't get enough of it! haha. Also my cat, she's a spoiled little princess!
DD: 07/19/18
EDD: 06/22/22
@dukestar5 re wine... I do not really stick to brands, there are some I'll recognize and get again but it's mostly me just seeing which label sticks out to me lol. And we collect corks so ones that aren't screw cap. I know they're "just as good" but I want the cork! Lol. My fave regions are Argentina, Italy, and California. I like Pinot, malbec, and blends. What about you?
@cards10 - Your beach vacation sounds like it will be so much fun!
@dukestar5- 6 mile run?!? You ladies that run always amaze me. Pedicures and books sounds like a great way to spend money
@nitnat007 - How long do you think your car will be in the shop? Your dog is adorable!!
@ajsanders-2 - I love Lularoe too! (A little too much in my DH's opinion lol)
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD: 13
WAYDTGKU: PNV, BBT, CM
R/R: I slept on my neck wrong and now it hurts so bad!
CS/Q: Just waiting to see what tomorrow's temp will be...
GTKY: Aside from essentials, what do you spend the most money on? Lularoe, manicures (I get gel every 3 weeks), books.
CD: 12
WAYDTGKU: OPKs, BBT, pom juice, sex, the usual
R/R: Happy hump day! In whichever way you want to take that.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Aside from essentials, what do you spend the most money on? Definitely stuff for the house. We tossed pretty much everything we had at the apartment and started from scratch when we moved to our house. It's been a slow process but it's starting to come together. I also agree with others about the pets. If I count cumulatively versus the past year, it'd be my dog hands down.
@pebbledam Yay for ovulation! And I agree, pets are expensive but worth it.
@cards10 I usually take my OPKs mid-afternoon to early evening. I'll also take one mid morning today just because I got a strong one last night and want to see if it keeps going. But I work from home most days so it's a bit easier. Can you do it on your lunch break?
@dukestar5 I'm super impressed with your morning productivity! Send some my way?
@nitnat007 Aw your poor puppy! He is a cutie though! I grew up with an unusually large lab, they're the sweetest.
@ajsanders-2 Yay potential apartment! I hope it goes well!
CD: 22
WAYDTGKU: BBT, PNV, CoQ10, Green tea until O, RRL tea, Low carb diet (minus the tacos I had yesterday), Metformin, CM
R/R: We recently painted our living room a lighter color and I like it and all but now the walls look so damn bare and I pretty much HATE decorating because it stresses me out. Someone please come decorate my house.
CS/Q: I know you should have green tea after O but is it still ok to drink RRL at this time?
Also... I am pretty sure I O'd on CD20 but my temp hasn't gone above 97.4 yet. Last cycle I never even got into the 98s. Is this a bad sign?? Can you get KO with low temps like this? I feel like everyone who is pregnant at least gets in the low 98s.
GTKY: Aside from essentials, what do you spend the most money on?
Amazon. Just.... amazon. I have a crazy addiction to it.
But lately it's been back to school supplies, make up and clothes for my toddler. I have a Sephora wish list and whenever my husband makes commission I would buy 1 or 2 items off the list. Even though I am no pro at make up I enjoy watching tutorials and trying to get better at it.
I see a lot of you ladies spend $ on Lularoe. That was me about a year ago. Now I hate Lularoe. I think the quality is pretty terrible and a lot of the clothes are super unflattering. Unpopular opinion but there it is.
@pebbledam --- yay yay yay!!!!!!! Is this early for you??? I think I will be there with you soon in TWW so see you there
@dukestar5 -- Yes, books. I freaking love books and recently I am buying books less for pleasure and more for information. Like... how to feed a fussy toddler or how to teach children in poverty (I am a teacher).... I miss reading for fun. Which type of books do you prefer? I haven't even finished the last Harry Potter book. WTF is wrong with me?!
DH: 30
TTC #2 Since April 2017
@cards10, have fun at the beach! I do my OPKs as soon as I get home from work (4:30ish). I've thought about trying to do one at work but it just feels a little too awkward to me.
@dukestar5, my answer for the GTKY would probably be books too if I didn't work at a library. I always have a towering library stack but fortunately I get them for free!
@nitnat007, I hope the busy day at work goes fast so you can get to having fun with your friends!
@ajsanders-2, I hope the apartment is great! It's always so fun to step into a new place and try to imagine your life there.
@glitzandglitter, sorry about your neck! I managed to do that on a fairly regular basis for a while until I figured out that it was my pillows causing the problem.
@SkilledSailor , I think we'll want to start from scratch too, at least decor-wise, when we get a house...right now it's a hodge-podge of stuff from our single days that doesn't really go together that well!
Month/Cycle: 8/9
CD: 1
WAYDTGKU: right now just PNVs and waiting for AF to do her thing.
R/R: CD1 is rough, DH and I both cried last night when I discovered I was spotting. However, we're on vacation in Seattle and there's at least plenty to distract us! We're going out to the Museum of Flight this morning and will celebrating my mom's birthday later with chocolate cake.
CS/Q: Just a lonely dot right now.
GTKY: Besides the cat, probably travel and tickets for concerts and plays. We love getting out to see shows whenever we can!
@Augusta108 - I am thinking it is pillow related - might be time for a new pillow. Sorry about CD1. Glad your trip is going well otherwise.
@SkilledSailor I know the feeling. Setting up the house was so expensive. You don't realize how bad it is going to be until you get there. But it has a certain satisfaction about it.
@Augusta108 I am sorry that AF showed up. Creepy internet hugs! But I am glad that you can stay busy and not think about it. Enjoy your time in Seattle! And yay for chocolate cake (my favorite!). My dog gets a subscription box too! Spoiled rotten!!
@garnetandgoldgrace My temps seem to be low too. The highest I have hit so far has been 98.20. I don't think its something to worry about. I hope its not?!
CD: 5
WAYDTGKU: Contemplating putting a baby on my stomach and hoping for good juju
R/R: My best friend in the whole world told me this morning that her and her partner are getting married and me and his best friend are the only ones invited. I have literally never been so excited. They've been together for 10 years now. It'll be on their 10th anniversary and held at our high school where he asked her out. I'm so damn excited.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Aside from essentials, what do you spend the most money on?
Going out to eat 100%
Married: 04/05/15
TTC since: 02/16/16
@cards10 Beach vacation sounds fun! I don't have any good advice for using OPKs (they didn't work well for me-they were always almost positive), but good luck!
@nitnat007 Awww poor puppy! We though our dog was pretty expensive (we had to rip out our 4 foot fence and replace it with a 6 foot fence, becasue she kept jumping it, and she was quite sick when we first got her) but I think you win!
@ajsanders-2 Hopefully the apartment is a good one!
@garnetandgoldgrace I don't like decorating either, which is why after living her for three years, my house still isn't really "decorated". Are you temping orally or vaginally? My oral temps were that low.
Month/Cycle: 4/2

WAYDTGKU: All the things
R/R: DH's interview went well yesterday, and he's got a second one scheduled for next week! We're both hoping he gets it, becasue his current boss is kinda crazy, and he doesn't like the workplace culture where he's at currently at all.
CS/Q: Not unless anyone knows how to make yourself ovulate faster.
GTKY: Aside from essentials, what do you spend the most money on?
Travel. I feel like we're always saving for a trip. I think our next trip will Niagara on the Lake in October, becasue it's only a few hours away and, well...wine.
Married: 10/2013
TTC #1 Since: 02/2017
@cards10 Have a great time on your vacation! I usually use opks twice a day, but I'm also home for the summer. I'm not sure how I'm going to do things once work starts again.
@dukestar5 Ooh, I love pedicures. I really want to get one, but I'm having trouble justifying the expense to myself right now. Any brilliant reasons you can think of for why I really do need to get one?
@nitnat007 Have fun getting drinks tonight! It's super rainy here, so enjoy your beautiful weather!
@ajsanders-2 Fx for the apartment!
@glitzandglitter Me too with the sleeping funny last night! My neck and shoulders are NOT happy with me. Hope yours feels better soon!
@SkilledSailor I love buying stuff for the house! We really have a mishmash of stuff right now, but we're slowing getting some nicer pieces of furniture. Our kitchen has the best stuff, by far. We both love to cook.
@garnetandgoldgrace Others on here might know more than I do, but I don't think the absolute temp matters as much as the difference between pre and post-O temps. I have read though that if your post-O temps are really close to your coverline it can mean low progesterone. That might be worth asking your doctor about if that's the case.
@Augusta108 Sorry for the cd1! That's no fun at all. I'm glad you're on vacation and have good distractions though! Seattle is beautiful.

Month/Cycle: 5/6
CD: 7
WAYDTGKU: temps, cm, opks
R/R: So I scheduled a medical procedure I really don't want to do for next Monday, hoping that I'd get ku last month and be able to cancel it. But no such luck, so now I have to go in. Fx I don't O early, or our timing might be pretty bad this month. On the positive side of things, I get a free BBQ lunch today!
CS/Q: No questions today!
GTKY: Aside from essentials, what do you spend the most money on? Books, eating out, haircuts (my hair is short, so I have to get it cut every six weeks or so, and good haircuts aren't cheap!).
CD: 2
WAYDTGKU: Temping, will start OPKs in a week, HIO and Preseed
R/R: I finally go here! I came over from the TTGPAL/TTA. So I am pretty excited to be able to move forward!
CS/Q: Do you notice higher BBT during the summer?
GTKY: Aside from essentials, what do you spend the most money on? We eat out a lot. I am cutting back on that. So next would be things for the house. We moved into a new house last Sept. so we are still decorating and all that fun stuff.
@pebbledam Yay for O!!
@cards10 I love your GTKY answer! I love home improvements stores, restaurants and wine!! Have fun on your girls weekend. I also never understood how anyone did the mid morning/day OPKs. I use the ones were it is first morning.
@dukestar5 Wow, 6 miles! How fast do you normally run? Is this a normal distance?
@nitnat007 Your dog is adorable!! We have a black lab and a lab/Sheppard mix. We spend so much money on our dogs too. We have our two dogs insured, and I am so glad I do as they have needed three surgerys for a tooth removal (same tooth, but it kept opening up), one surgery to remove the silverware holder that he ate from his stomach, lots of visits for kennel cough, a visit and xrays for bruised ribs and another visit for a test to see if he had something stuck in his stomach again... Good thing they are so darn cute!
@ajsanders-2 Hope the apartment is what you are looking for!
@glitzandglitter Ouch, I hope you neck feels better! And that your spotting goes away.
@skilledsailor I enjoyed replacing my old items with new ones when we moved into our house as well. It was nice to actually buy things that will last!
@garnetandgoldgrace My temps rarely go into the 98s. TW - even when I was KU - TW. I am around 97.05 before O and then 97.5 after.
@Augusta108 Sorry for CD1. Enjoy the museum!
@dilynne That sounds so romantic to me! How fun.
@cricket648 FX for your DH!
BFP#3 5/22/17 | MC 6/17/17 at 7w3d
@cards10 PNVs actually could (potentially) help a person get ku if they otherwise would be vitamin deficient in some way. I think for example Vitamin C and D deficiencies can cause fertility issues. Seems like you've gotten good advice on the OPKs already. I agree with the recommendation to use them twice a day the first month you use them. I actually have generally used FMU and then tested again at night (I drink a lot of water, it can be hard to stop drinking water and hold it for four hours). I never get a first positive from FMU, always an evening positive followed by an FMU positive, so I decided to try waiting this month to test early/mid-day, but at any rate I was always catching my surge the other way.
@nitnat007 OMG! Those dog eyes are so precious! We had a chocolate and black lab pair when I was growing up (sisters from the same litter) and the chocolate had those same golden eyes.
@dukestar5 Wow, so productive this morning! Good for you!
@ajsanders-2 I have no LulaRoe products. Is it mostly leggings they sell or other stuff? Also, my cat is crazy spoiled.
@glitzandglitter Fx for temp rise! I hate it when my neck is sore. Sometimes I find putting some mineral ice on it helps.
@SkilledSailor That is a lot of work to rebuild all your furniture, etc from scratch. I wish we had tossed out more stuff when we moved into our house... MH is a pack rat.
@Augusta108 I'm so sorry for CD 1 and how hard it has been on you and YH. Hugs.
@Dilynne Oh what awesome news about your friend!
@cricket648 Fx for YH's second interview!

R/R: Rave: Have a lot of work to do but my boss is traveling so I'm hoping it will be a quiet and productive week. Rant: I think I have a cyst on my right ovary left over from last month. It's not painful enough to worry about but it's annoying.
CS/Q: Nope. Still not much to see on my chart.
GTKY: Aside from essentials, what do you spend the most money on? My 401k, lol. Probably clothes and beauty care products in terms of "fun" spending. Like @ajsanders-2 I spend ridiculous money on my cat - she has IBD and is on a commercial raw food diet and four supplements and a steroid.
@darkstar42 I'm sorry you have to go through with the procedure. I hope it goes smoothly.
@labgrand2012 So happy to see you here!

@cards10 have fun! Someone recommended testing with OPKs later in the day rather than with FMU. If I'm getting close to when I think I'll ovulate, I'll use a two a day, buy the cheapies
@dukestar5 I like to go once a month for a pedicure, too
@nitnat007 your poor pup!
@ajsanders-2 good luck with the apartment viewing
@skilledsailor I feel like changing things in the house has a domino affect for me. It's so easy to spend a lot!
@glitzandglitter I'm sorry about your neck. Feel better!
@garnetandgoldgrace I love Amazon, too. Prime makes it way to easy to buy everything.
@Augusta108 big hugs. CD 1 sucks. Have fun in Seattle! It's one of my favorite cities.
@Dilynne that's so exciting!

CS/Q: nothing today
GTKY: Aside from essentials, what do you spend the most money on? Probably going out to eat or personal pampering- nails, hair, makeup etc.
@cards10 When im using pee stick opk's i do twice a day, morning and evening (i think my evening tests are more accurate) but now im trying this CBE digi monitor and using it mornings. Since it has me checking on CD6 which is hella early for me, im holding off doing my accompanying pee stick checks (yup also using pee sticks!). So I'm a fan of mornings if that works for you, but if youve tried several cycles and no clear positive: get a ton of internet cheapies. Check morning mid day and evening and see which of the three works best. (ive seen girls who get positives mid day instead of morning as well). Then go with the time of day thats best for you.
@dukestar5 wow on the 6 miles today! I hit 3 always and say...good enough! lol
@nitnat007 awww hope your car is healthy soon!
@ajsanders-2 awww man, for some reason i cant see your chart
@glitzandglitter do you normally get mid cycle spotting?
@SkilledSailor House stuff is always a big part of my budget! But usually not fun stuff. We own a townhouse and rent two apartments and there is ALWAYS something that needs fixing, replacing or updating.
@garnetandgoldgrace You know...if you go on angies list or home advisors i bet you could hire someone to come in and spruce up the room for you! ps... i keep hearing about lularoe... what is it anyways (im off FB so i guess im missing a new thingy?)
@Augusta108 So so sorry for CD1... sux! Chocolate cake is a must today!
@Dilynne Thats so cool about your best friend!! sounds lovely! I always wanted a tiny, just witnesses wedding
@Cricket648 Yay for your DH's second interview! Will keep fingers crossed for yall!
@darkstar42 Good luck with your procedure! Hopefully it wont throw you off this month!
@labgrand2012 Yay for no longer TTA! Its good to get back in the saddle!

@garnetandgoldgrace I accidentally bought prime this past prime day
@Dilynne aww that's so cute about your friend. Talk about small wedding!
@darkstar42 GL with your upcoming procedure and FX it won't interfere with your FW!
@langrand so sorry for your loss but happy to meet you
@zamora_spin ah thanks for the info. Good to know about pnv's. And truth about the 401k! I didn't even think of that
@cricket648 - Glad your DH's interview went well. FX that his second interview goes just as well and that he gets the job.
@darkstar42 - Sorry your neck/shoulders are hurting too
@Dragonette505- This is my first cycle off BCP after being on it for a while so I think the spotting is just my body trying to get it together. Before the pill I wold have it occasionally but not like this so hopefully it will chill out soon.
@fishsticks-n-custard +1 for Ava!
and @dragonette505 GL with IVF this cycle! FX for you!
@Cricket648 Great news for YH. FX that the second one goes well too!
@darkstar42 GL with the medical procedure. Hope that is doesn't mess with your O at all! Enjoy that BBQ lunch!
@labgrand2012 Glad that you are back with us!! Wow! It sounds like he eats everything!! Silverware holder?? Come on! Good thing that you have insurance. We decided to get off of ours since they didn't cover his ACL's. Now we just put money aside every month instead.
@zamora_spin FX for a productive week, and hope the annoying leftover cyst calms down.
@mileswithmyles Glad you guys had a great date night! Drink loads of water for that hangover lol
@dragonette505 GL with IVF this cycle!
@fishsticks-n-custard Woot Ava works!
@cards10Have fun on your girls weekend! And about OPKs, I take one a day around lunchtime (I also use the wrapper as a container). I stop drinking any liquids at 10am that way it's more concentrated.
@glitzandglitterI'm sorry your neck hurts, hopefully it feels better soon.
@nitnat007Have fun going out for drinks with your friends!
@Augusta108I'm sorry it's CD1.
@Dilynne10 years! That's amazing! I hope you have a great time at the wedding.
@darkstar42Yay for free food!
@labgrand2012Yay for joining the WTO!
@fishsticks-n-custardYay for Ava actuially working today!
@nitnat007 OMG that face! And my dogs have that same toy (well, at least most of it)!
@garnetandgoldgrace From what I have read, you should not drink RRLT after O. I always stopped drinking it once I had a positive OPK.
Sorry for CD1 @Augusta108, but I hope you have a lovely vacation!

@garnetandgoldgrace - Considering I ovulated on CD60 last cycle, I would say O-ing on CD23 is practically a miracle! As far as the temps go, I usually only get a couple of temps above 98* in the TWW. My coverline is usually around 97 - 97.2. Oh, and I nominate @SkilledSailor to come decorate for you!
@Augusta108 - I'm so sorry to see you back here in WTO. *hugs*
@Cricket648 - Giirrrlll, I thought you might get excited! I know I squee when I see that you ovulate! I'll try to send some positive ute vibes your way so you can O on CD23 like me!!
@zamora_spin - I can't even with your 401K spending.

@pebbledam Those pups are gorgeous! I am such a softy for the big dogs and would love to have a dane as well. Sorry to hear that she is not well. ((hugs))
Month/Cycle: Officially 1/1
CD: 1
WAYDTGKU: WFAF to GTFO
R/R: Hate cramps so much.
CS/Q: Nada. I guess that small temp shift I had on CD 9 last cycle was O, which have me a 12 day LP. Better than when I came off Nexplanon!
GTKY: Aside from essentials, what do you spend the most money on?
Do snacks count? I buy a lot of snacks that I can eat at work and on the go because I basically live out of my car. Other than that, definitely chapstick. Chapstick addict over here. H gives me flack for it all the time.

@cards10 i know others have answered, but I'll share what I do too. I typically use them mid-morning. around 10:30, so at work, like @pebbledam suggested I've used the foil package as the "cup" (actually thanks to her suggestion) or I've even snagged a disposable coffee cup and used that. It doesn't look out of place in the trash. If I'm close to O or in my FW I will also do one in the evening after having at least a few hour hold around say 7pm. I've been O around CD 17 lately but lo and behold this cycle is looking like CD 14, so I start using 2 a day around CD 12
@nitnat007 poor pup but look at that sweet face, he really knows how to do the "puppy dog eyes"
@ajsanders-2 GL with apartment hunting.
@dukestar5 people who workout/run in the morning are so impressive to me!
@glitzandglitter ugh spotting at CD13? is this a normal pattern for you? have you talked to your OB about it? I see you answered that. I hope it resolves and isn't a continuing problem for you
@SkilledSailor what kind of dogs do you have?
@garnetandgoldgrace I am a terrible decorator...I feel you on the empty walls. I don't know that there is any "normal" post O temp since everyone varies so much even cycle to cycle.
@Augusta108 sorry about CD1, it is so heartbreaking. I hope you enjoy your vacation despite the Cd1.
@Dilynne wow, what a special moment that you get to be a part of.
@Cricket648 great news about DH. We love to travel too. I don't know of Niagra on the Lake...off to google
@darkstar42 sorry your timing didn't work out. GL with the medical procedure
@labgrand2012 I'm glad you finally go here, but so sad to see you back.
@zamora_spin 401K! love it. my initial thought was "student loans" How old is your cat?
@fishsticks-n-custard glad to hear Ava is cooperating!
@mileswithmyles sounds like a nice night
