Month/Cycle: 6 

CD: 17 

WAYDTGKU: HIO, CM/CP, temping, vitex and B6

R/R: still no positive OPK. I think the test line is getting darker though. This coupled with an anti-climatic HIO session (literally) has put me in a mood. I think MH is having anxiety about all of this. Not sure how to proceed 

CS/Q: below.

@chichiphin Ugh I’m sorry that you haven’t gotten a +OPK yet. I totally hear you on your H having anxiety about it. Mine has definitely had days that he’s really not in the mood when he normally would be and I think it’s from some of the pressure on him. I try not to emphasize too much that I think I’m in FW and say can we try to HIO as much as possible these days? It seems to help a little.

Month/Cycle: 6/5

CD: 11

WAYDTGKU: Ava, OPKs, HIO EOD+, PCOS supplements and diet

R/R: I got to catch up with a friend last night and am thankful to sleep in this morning! No rants at the moment.

CS/Q: My temps are looking consistent to last month, but are almost a full degree higher than last cycle... although still below the cover line for my old chart for the most part. Hoping that higher temps are a good sign in general (right?):

This cycle’s chart and last cycle

chichiphin

@dogmomma096 I try to make it as low pressure, more spontenaious feeling as possible. I think the fact that this is the last cycle before potentially moving on to medication is putting the presser on? I dunno. 

That’s so interesting your temps are so much higher without changing the way you take your temp! I’m glad you had a good time last night

@chichiphin I'm in the same boat as you re: the OPK waiting game. FX we get a positive soon! And I'm sorry about the anxiety your DH is experiencing. This can be a stressful process for everyone. I feel like even my "spontaneous" HIO sessions are pre-planned sometimes.

@dogmomma096 I'm glad that you got to sleep in this morning! It's the best feeling to wake up independent of your alarm.

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD: 17

WAYDTGKU:  OPKs, prenatals, B6, B12, HIO

R/R: I always tell myself that I'm going to get a year's subscription to Vogue, but I never do it. Today I did, and I am like a giddy child waiting for Christmas. (It's the small things, right?)

CS/Q: In spoiler.

*Lurking*

@chichiphin im sorry that you’re still waiting for that + OPK. I went through similar frustration this cycle and I know how disheartening it is. It’s great that it’s getting darker though!! 

chichiphin

@elle-0409 hopefully your positive is coming too
@literatureandink

Tested this afternoon and I am just on the cusp of the test line being darker than the control line, so I think I’ll call it a positive. Now how to get MH to give it the ol’ college try again.... 

elle-0409

@chichiphin Go get 'em!

emeraldduchess

@chichiphin I hope your DH rallies!  Get it, girl. (@elle-0409 wins for best HIO gif ever!) I get anxious about when I'll O after day 14, too, especially when my OPKs are practically blank. 

@dogmomma096 yay for catching up with a friend and then sleeping in.  How's your class this time of year, my fellow teacher?  Halloween is definitely in the air and mine are getting giddy/silly in anticipation.  They also asked me if I was going to dress up like the Wicked Witch for Halloween.  This is the second class in a row encouraging this, so I am starting to take it personally! Although I do feel a very special connection to the green-girl, so it's not really an insult.

@elle-0409 that's great that you finally treated yourself to that Vogue subscription.  You are so right about having the little things to look forward to. How often do issues come out? 

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD: 14

WAYDTGKU: Prenatal vitamins, Fertility Friend, temping, OPKs, HIO, red raspberry leaf tea, trying to eat cleaner and cutting down on alcohol.

R/R: I missed checking in with you lovely ladies yesterday!  But I lurked a little and love-tit-ed,  I stayed late at school and then I volunteered at the local theater last night. I didn't want to do a drive-by since I always check in so late.  

CS/Q: So, dummy over here somehow changed the setting on her bbt thermometer to Celcius.  Derp.  I got it back to Fahrenheit but was quite confused by the reading of 36 this morning.  Temps are all over the place, so this had added a new layer of anxiety, but I will get the hang of it.  According to Fertility Friend, my FW starts today, so marathon HIO begins tonight. DH says he is ready, but he may be feeling differently by Wednesday if I haven't O'ed. Negative OPK this afternoon, but the last two cycles testing went from near-positive to practically blank, back to near positive then blazing positive, so I'm not frustrated yet.

@chichiphin  FX your O coming soon and can enjoy it with YH. It’s such a weird dynamic knowing that timing has to be “good.” Sorry that you guys are going through that.

@dogmomma096 That’s strange about your temps, but I’m with you. Maybe, it’s a good thing. Glad you got to sleep in! I wish I could do that... my body wakes me up.

@elle-0409  LOL to spontaneous, planned HIO... so true! Also love the gif 😂

@emeraldduchess  That’s frustrating about your thermometer, but I’m glad you’re in good spirits! Volunteer at a local theater? That sounds fun! What are they playing?


Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD: 12

WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, OPK, CoQ10

R/R: Excited about it being Saturday. It was a wonderfully relaxing Friday. Today, I saw my MIL and SIL for lunch downtown, and tomorrow, I’m getting together with girlfriends at a cider mill. It’s enough to enjoy the weekend without feeling crazy busy, which I’m very happy about!

CS/Q: Chart below. Thanks for the feedback yesterday about meds. I’m feeling better today after a good night’s sleep.

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: 2 (I got my IUD out yesterday - no periods in a few years so I will adjust as necessary) 

WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, Prenatal Vitamins, cutting down to 1 cup of coffee a day, cutting out alcohol   

R/R: Went horseback riding today, also ordered a new book to read for fun 

CS/Q: Not sure what this one is? Screenshot of my FF? Help a sister out lol 

grangerhp37

@allier12 CS/Q stands for Chart Stalk/Questions, so you can post a screenshot of your chart if you’d like or ask questions!

@emeraldduchess I teach high school, so mine are less squirrely about Halloween but I think we’re all ready for the holidays to be here and for a much needed break! 

nnaelilak

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 1 

WAYDTGKU: charting with temp drop, prenatals  no alcohol or caffeine, will start opks in a week or so

R/R: spending a long weekend at my mom's house. Really enjoyed listening to HP and the Order of the Phoenix for 6 hours on the way here! 

CS/Q: Day one, not much of a chart yet lol 

chichiphin

@emeraldduchess lol I’m sorry about the Celsius mix up. What is the upcoming show at the local theater?? 
@cpiper39 your weekend plans sound amazing. I miss having family and close friends near by to do those things 
welcome to WTO @allier12 @nnaelilak

+OPK yesterday afternoon and this AM. Temps still down as of this AM. I think I’ll be ovulating tonight ish. Got MH to get it together yesterday... now to make today work lol!

cpiper39

@chichiphin Woot! Woot! 

emeraldduchess

@chichiphin fingers crossed for good timing!  
@cpiper39 I ushered for the current production, which was a British farce/crime type show.  A friend of mine was in the cast and it was funny, so I enjoyed it.  I'll probably usher for the next production too, since I have friends in that one as well. The cider mill get together with your friends sounds like a perfect fall outing.  Enjoy!
@allier12 and @nnaelilak, welcome!  
@dogmomma096 I actually started out with the intention of being a high school English teacher, but then decided that elementary would be a better fit. What subject do you teach (if you don't mind my asking)?  


Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD: 15

WAYDTGKU: Prenatal vitamins, red raspberry leaf tea, OPKs, HIO, trying to eat cleaner, cutting back on alcohol, and temping.

R/R: It's the weekend, so I can't complain! 

CS/Q: Still no +OPK, and my temps look like a mountain range, but there's nothing I can do about that.  My body feels like it's gearing up to O, which is why I'm not nervous (yet).  

elle-0409

@emeraldduchess The issues come out once a month, but I also have immediate access to the online magazine. I hope that the production is going well. The concept of a British farce/crime show sounds amazing!

@cpiper39 Going to a cider mill sounds like heaven. Enjoy!

@allier12 Welcome! Which book did you buy?

@nnaelilak Harry Potter FTW! (Does anyone else think that "For the Win" now looks like "Fertile Window"?)

cpiper39

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD: 13

WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPK, CM, CoQ10

R/R: +OPK today! Plus, I’m enjoying my low key weekend. 

CS/Q: No questions, just a little annoyed my temps have been sporadic. I wasn’t great at taking them at the right times and had some fitful sleeping. Oh well!

cpiper39

@emeraldduchess I’m with you on the mountain range 🤷‍♀️ FX on upcoming O!

@nnaelilak Sorry about CD1! 

@elle-0409 For the win = FW 🤗

nnaelilak

@elle-0409 I didn't before, but it's all I'll see now
