Well, looks like I am out right on March 1 !

This was my first time tracking BBT, so it looks like me temps started dipping CD 10 and CD 11 before AF.

On to the third cycle, putting away the pregnancy strips and getting ready for the OPK strips.

I wanted to ask questions on vitamins/supplements when TTC, is there a particular thread this topic needs to be on? I tried to lurk but, I'm not sure if I lurked enough

@ilovecake13 those would be good questions to ask in the regular dailies, or in the weekly randoms You can join in on the daily thread (WTO - waiting to ovulate and TWW - two week wait) for the given day and can post the question in either the R/R (rants/raves) section or the CS/Q (chart stalk/questions) sections of your post. I'd definitely encourage posting in the relevant dailies, as that ends up where most of our conversations take place.

Also you can post in the dailies daily, you don't have to have a specific question/topic to post about.

@fantasyflyte thank you!! I will do that

inthewoods23

@ilovecake13 If it's a TTC related question I would post that here, especially if you want any and all answers/opinions/ideas. You can post your questions in the dailies as well. That may make more sense for questions specific to where you're at in your cycle.

The randoms thread is really meant more for anything completely outside TTC. Like the time we had a long ass conversation about Oreos 

ilovecake13

@inthewoods23 go it, I love oreos!!!

@inthewoods23 I just busted out laughing at your final sentence.🤣 Still looking for those dang gluten-free Oreos! 

inthewoods23

@keikilove haha wasn't that conversation what sparked us moving from a monthly randoms thread to weekly? Those threads sometimes ended up with 100 comments! Hope you find the GF Oreos soon. You can't miss them in their white packaging right next to the rest of the Oreos.

keikilove

@inthewoods23 Yep, that was the epic thread that switched it to a Weekly instead of Monthly Randoms.😄

Found ‘em! 💃🏼 They weren’t carrying them in my local Target yet; since I’m “in the big city” today for my next doctor’s appointment—and I’m actually a couple hours early today—I took a walk to their Target and voilá!

Alright new cervix related question:

Regarding position - when do you consider it to be low, medium, or high? Do I go by the knuckle rule? Cuz if I do, I feel my cervix is ALWAYS high. Can that be the case?

chgilmore

@inthewoods23 I'll be lurking/stalking this in particular because I have the same question

jackie_dunny

*lurking*

@inthewoods23 @chgilmore just like with BBT, the more you do it, the more you learn what your “normal” is. For me in general, when I’m like, digging in my vag and can barely reach my cervix, that’s when I consider it high lol sorry for the graphics and when it’s low, it’s like almost right at the surface (or so it feels). Medium is hard to judge, anything in between those I’d say 

chgilmore

@jackie_dunny gotcha!

Now what I want is some kind of scanner doo-dad that can do all that for us xD

Fwiw, I always found cp to be so subjective that it wasn't all that helpful for me and only created more confusion, so I never bothered with it much.  Between bbt, cm, and opks / clear blue fancy opks, that was always plenty of data for FF to be happy with me!

Sorry, I realize that's maybe not super helpful.... 😬

@inthewoods23 @chgilmore

inthewoods23

@BusinessWife yeah I totally get you. I've heard some women say they have never gotten EWCM and didn't have issues with conceiving so does it really matter to track it. My friend who as using CM tracking for TTA struggled with it too. I feel like positioning or openness would provide a better idea of when FW starts/ends.

Does anyone else have a problem with getting CM from their cervix? I get barely anything most of the time, but every so often using the bathroom there is a whole bunch of it on the toilet paper. Like great, where the hell were you when I was checking inside the last time...

[Deleted User]

Haha totally @inthewoods23 I actually just posted about that in WTO.

CM
<div class=" Spoiler">The Napro method only goes by TP and no internal checks.  Once you know what to look for (gliding sensation when wiping, and/or something that stretches from the TP when you do a finger touch test) that just hugely simplified it for me.  I would mark that E and anything else would get nothing lol</div><p>
</p>

chgilmore

@BusinessWife I find it helpful, though mostly in what I heard behind what you said, which I think I said in WTO but I'll say it again: I need to chill out with the SS. like my first reactive question about the method you mentioned in your spoiler was "but! what about after O? how am I supposed to know for sure if xyw" and I hear myself and go "b*tch chill out a bfp will tell you, go sit down and drink some water and go HIO or whatever" xD

[Deleted User]

Hahahaha @chgilmore idk if I would put it quite that way? Lol but now that you mention it, there may or may not be a, "sit down cupcake," in there for ya ;)

@BusinessWife lol sometimes that's just how I talk to myself: like a straight talk BFF with all love and no BS
