CD: 5
WAYDTGKU: hio, opk, pnv, CoQ10, Vit BCDE, Acupuncture, L-arginine, enzymes...so many things
R/R: Everyone seems to be in town this week. DH's colleagues, my old friends from Belize....it is going to be a busy week of lunches and dinners trying to see everyone. Looking forward to my nap at acupuncture this afternoon.
CS/Q:
CD: 7
WAYDTGKU: bbt, opk's, pnv, green tea for cm
R/R: DH is coming home tonight!
CS/Q: So I was thinking that the green tea was working to increase my CM because I was getting a lot more brown spotting at the end of my period than I usually do. Now that AF is completely gone it's hard to tell. Hopefully as my body ramps up for O it will be more obvious if it's helping, because I'm starting to get sick of green tea... Also, before I started I feel like I found a ton of articles and posts about green tea helping with CM and now that I'm a week in, I can't find any sort of proof of it anymore.

WAYDTGKU: Back to temping again after taking a break, prenatals, sex
R/R: Hi all, I have been hanging out on the TTCAL thread but thought I would try to jump into the dailies. Looking forward to getting to know everyone!
CS/Q: Not much of a chart to stalk yet!
CD: ?
WAYDTGKU: Just had my IUD taken out yesterday and so I'm starting temping and until next cycle I'm just trying to be healthy, take my vitamins, work out, and eat well.
R/R: Just started temping this morning...My asshole cat woke me up early - it's always something. Hopefully I can start taking it at consistent times for a baseline.
CS/Q: Since I'm just off BC I'm gonna hang out here until next cycle if that's cool with y'all. My period usually starts the first of the month so should be here awhile.

WAYDTGKU: BBT/Charting, OPK, CoQ10, Prenatal, HIO EOD (and again tonight), softcups
R/R: We had an amazing thunderstorm last night. I love them and I was actually awake and able to enjoy it. Rant is that DH leaves for a 2 day trip tomorrow and I still haven't Od.
CS/Q: Still not getting + opk (as of last night). Hopefully today as last cycle I got it on CD17 and FF said I O'd on the same day. But, FF and I are going to be at odds soon....Because of yesterday's temp drop, it's going to pin that for O. I'll have to reset it to OPK detector and the wont have a coverline. Unless there is a way to add that myself...
@nitnat007 everyone should visit during TWW to help keep your mind busy lol. But enjoy your time with friends and your acupuncture (nap
)
@meggyme I love when I can find all the evidence in the world before hand but nothing after. Makes sense that you'll get more as your body gears up to a O. Fx
And another rant- on mobile typing this with 1 thump because I sliced the other open Sunday. Where are the smartscreen compatible bandaids?!

WAYDTGKU: Finishing up OPKs and HIO.
R/R: Rant: No rant today! Rave: Had my 2 positive OPKs yesterday and my temp rise this morning! YAY!
CS/Q: Does anyone else continue OPKs until they get a negative? Last cycle I got 2 1/2 days of positives and FF had me Oing the day after my last one and I had my temp rise that same day. Not sure if that's the norm?
@nitnat007 Enjoy your visitors!
@meggyme Yay for your DH coming home! It looks like it's right in time too!
@diaphena Boo to CD1, but we're happy to have you!
@leksiL Welcome!
@leksiL Welcome!
@prpl11butterfly I like the idea of scheduling all visits/appointments/etc during the TWW. Noone should have downtime during those 2 weeks! It leads down too many rabbit holes!
@meladams10 Woot! You go gurl!

WAYDTGKU: Nada right now.
R/R: Rant: So tired today. I hate AF. She makes me feel like a zombie. I have a cup of herbal tea, a cup of coffee and a litre of water on my desk. Something has got to work. **TW** Also, I am sick of these videos in the middle of the thread with the baby bumps. I don't want to see that right now! **End TW** Rave: 3 sleeps until vacation.
CS/Q: -
CD: 11ish
WAYDTGKU: OPK, cm, prenatals, BD EOD
R/R:Only two more days of work then I'm off until for a friends wedding!
Also a rant; *Period related* My last period was so weird, three days of spotting, two normal days, then three more of spotting. So I'm not sure which to label my first day. If I pick the first day of spotting it has me ovulating yesterday which I'm quite certain didn't happen. So I plugged in the first day of the heavier and now it says Friday which seems very late for my previous cycles based on my current cm, and opks. I think my body thinks I'm bored or something and is trying to give me more to figure out.
CS/Q: Has anyone had luck temping if they get regularly woken throughout the night? I mean I have one solid stretch but its not as long as suggested before temping. I would really like to be able to get a better idea of things.
@nitnat007 That sounds like a fun week. It'll help you zoom to O day haha. I'm glad you can sleep through it, I would run right out the door!
@meggyme If I remember correctly, in some people Green tea can increase bleeding including the potential for bleeding between periods. So maybe you're just more sensitive to it?
@diaphena Hi!
@prpl11butterfly We had one too! I watched it roll in during dinner last night, one minute fairly clear skies, the next it looked like a hurricane! I love that kind of weather
CD: 12
WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPKs, HIO
R/R: I'm helping with my sister's wedding in late August, and we finally got the invites out last night! Nothing like planning a wedding in 3 months
CS/Q: Just had a dip in my temp this morning and we HIO last night. Hoping for some temp rises the next few days. I forgot to do a OPK yesterday, so I think it might be too late to get a + this cycle.
@prpl11butterfly That's what I hope will happen.
@lulu1180 That will probably be my next step if I don't see a change. I just worry about adding supplements without a doc's approval and I'd rather not deal with that.

R/R: All the plants are finally planted, we started to run out off room to plant stuff. Mainly the vining plants and big bush type plants are outside and smaller stuff like broccoli and lettuce are safe in the greenhouse. H also put in a new flower bed in front of the house and I planted tiger lilies and regular lilies but the old hens thought they would help and dug up all the blub I planted
CS/Q: nope
@meggyme I can certainly appreciate that! I just like to make sure people know there are other options. Personally, I didn't really enjoy drinking the green tea and was happy when I decided to quit drinking it.

CS/Q: None!
@meri-mac I am with you today. Both on the ads and the AF zombie train. I am guzzling coffee today and still so sleepy... Fortunately work is slow this morning
@Stargazer1lily Your garden sounds amazing!
@diaphena One of our clinicians is sick so it is slow for me too. Thank goodness. I treat myself to 2 cups of coffee a day during the more harrowing days of AF. We deserve it

@diaphena Welcome! So sorry for your loss.
@leksil Cats can be such jerks! Hopefully not a regular occurrence.
@prpl11butterfly Right?! It is like they didn't consider my cycle at all lol. Come on positive OPK! FX for tonight.
@meladams10 I tend to test out to a negative, but that is only because I get a couple days of positives so want to be sure the surge is done.
@third_time_round I really don't needles so thought I would hate it. But once needles are placed they don't bother me at all. Great nap time!
@marebear15 Have a great time planning!
@purpleteacher82 Enjoy the new bed! Nothing beats it.
@Swiftlet Man, so many weddings around here right now. have a wonderful time! So jealous that you are home early for puppy snuggles. For pnv I don't have issues with mine and they are tablet form. Rainbow light I think? But have been considering switching to "smartypants" though.
@meggyme have you upped water intake?

CD: 9... still spotting. Why am I cursed with the million day period?!
WAYDTGKU: apparently HIO schedule starts tonight. Hopefully the spotting goes away enough. I hate sex on my period, even a little spotting.
R/R: I did not do well with my diet this weekend. I still have 3.5 lbs to go to reach my goal weight and I'm afraid I'm not going to have a loss this week. Weigh Day is Thursday, so we'll see.
CS/Q: Nothing interesting yet.
@nitnat007 enjoy acupuncture! I'm definitely looking forward to my session next week!
@prpl11butterfly patent that idea for touchscreen friendly bandaids! Seriously, that's such a good idea. I hope your cut heals up soon!
@meri-mac I am super sick of the videos, too. *barf emoji*
@third_time_round FF counts the first day of flow as CD1.
@purpleteacher82 I'm so jealous of your bed upgrade. Our staircase and bannister are the limiting factor for getting a king - we'd have to take the whole bannister off to get it up there and in the future to take it back down. DH doesn't want to deal with it. Whomp whomp.

@general_organa Just 3lbs away?! That is awesome girl!! Good luck on Thursday, and FX that the spotting stops for you. In the same boat over here too. It bites.
@meggyme yay for DH!!!
@meri-mac I’ve been highly annoyed with those videos as well <insert angry face>
@Swiftlet I have to take my vitamins at lunch or they make me horribly sick, brand doesn’t seem to matter for me.

@meggyme I make my green tea in the morning, let it seep in a travel mug while I get ready, then put it in a glass water bottle in the fridge. I drink it when I get home from work, sometimes with a little squeeze of lemon. I definitely saw in increase in CM this cycle compared to last cycle when I wasn't drink green tea. I stopped drinking it 2DPO because I needed a break from the taste.
