Sooooo what's driving you crazier. you'r body or  the mobs of people you're fighting off for that toy?  Happy Black Friday everyone, let's keep away ALL THE RED!!!!

This is the place to vent about your cycle, symptoms, MF, obsessive FF checking, 5dpo BFN's, and all things TTCAL that are driving you completely out of your mind!

Your Level of Crazy on a scale of 1-10:

Your Level of Crazy on a scale of 1-10: A solid 7.5 - and pushing higher

CD /or DPO: CD22 / 5?6?dpo

Can I just ___POAS_________ already ?!?!!????

Signs & Symptoms: Massive temp drop this morning. I'm trying not to let myself think it could be an implantation dip... I'm not doing very well with that. No other "symptoms" though. MF hasn't come out to play yet.

Additional Crazy Here: So seriously, my temps have been freaking weird all cycle... Now this freaking plummet this morning... WTF? And FF is giving me dotted ch on CD17 and I really think I O'd on CD16. (If I switch the tuning to "research" it does give me solid CH on CD16... but I feel like that's cheating) I honestly feel like my temps are getting crazier rather than more reliable each cycle. It's driving me bonkers!

LOL! I forgot the one problem is that it makes my cover line insanely low. *shrug*

I'm sooooooo happy you're with me on the CD16 idea though!!!

Not really. I would argue the previous CL was insanely high!

 

And do me a favor, change your homepage overlay to Ovulation instead of Start of Cycle.  you'll see your pattern better that way

Sorry, but I still think CD17. That temp today is weird though. Did you wake up early or anything?

ETA: I think this coverline is really low, I mean now almost all of your temps are above the coverline. I think your coverline should be around 97.1. If I ruled the world, that's what it would be. haha!

FWIW my pre-O temps were weird this cycle too. Maybe it's something in the TTCAL water!

Your Level of Crazy on a scale of 1-10:  4. still pretty zen but getting a little antsy!

CD /or DPO: CD25/6DPO

Can I just _____get a BFP!_______ already ?!?!!????

Signs & Symptoms:none

Additional Crazy Here: This past week allll of the male residents and attendings on my rotation have asked me when I'm going to "have babies." Yesterday was the worst, my attending was asking me about my career plans, and he was like "well, if you do that, when are you going to have babies?!" I almost broke down into tears right there, since it was the umpteenth time this week. How is it ANY OF THEIR BUSINESS?!?!?! Obviously none of them have ever experienced a m/c, and good for them, but....sheesh.

SopranoMama

Katharine - Switched You're the best!! :-D

Mrs E - I disagree with CD17, but I'm with you on 97.1 for the cover line. I'd over-ride it, but the only thing worse than dotted cross hairs are blue cross hairs!  

And of course your temps were wonky too... that's why we're cycle buddies

UGH! I've come to expect this sh!t from old ladies, but from dudes??? NOT COOL DUDES! TP to them all. I'm sorry you had to deal with that.

In other news, your post O chart looks beautiful

I would agree with you if you're only looking at this cycle, but this is a cycle after a CP, and all her other charts her CL has never breached 97.0 - it could be 96.9 but it really doesn't make much of a difference - the CL is just a visual tool. Her CM also changes on CD16, and she has a .5 degree rise between 16 & 17 - that all tells me her CH's are more correct as is then they were before.

Your Level of Crazy on a scale of 1-10: 8

CD /or DPO: CD 19/4 DPO

Can I just ____________ already ?!?!!???? POAS!

Signs & Symptoms: None, zip, zilch, nada

Additional Crazy Here: I'm still having a minor freakout that my post-O temps are lower than usual. They're usually above 98. My CHs are nice and solid, so it's probably irrational, but I'm still worried that something is off.

Your Level of Crazy on a scale of 1-10: 2

CD /or DPO: about 1dpo (based on opk)

Can I just ________get KU ____ already ?!?!!????

Signs & Symptoms: not a thing

Additional Crazy Here: I am spending waaayyy too much time pinning baby items to my secret baby board on Pinterest, but it makes me happy!

Yeah I see that logic too, and was thinking the same thing while looking at her old charts. But I feel like the cd17 temp is still in the same range as the other temps, and then it jumps up, so that's what I'm basing my opinion on. Aaand we're both charting geeks :-) at least I'm not the only one, haha.

Thanks!! I read "TP to them all" as thoughts and prayers at first and I was like whaaat? But then I figured it out. Haha.

Yes my chart does look good so far! It usually looks good until about 9dpo and then it all goes downhill.

Your Level of Crazy on a scale of 1-10:  9

CD /or DPO:  4DPO

Can I just ___get my BFP___ already ?!?!!????

Signs & Symptoms: still tired, cramping a lot on the left side, boobs are more tender then before.

Additional Crazy Here: I swear I'm having pregnancy brain. At least, it's what pregnancy brain was like before. I can't think of words for things, I have a hard time finding everything...it's frustrating. and it all makes me a little excited when i shouldn't be getting excited yet.

Also crazy because when I look at dates on FF, I think that during our FW, we only BD once. I'm freaking out that we missed the window and that I'm going to be out this month.

CD /or DPO: CD22

Can I just __O/ get a +opk__________ already ?!?!!????

Signs & Symptoms: EWCM, darkening opks that are oh so close but not +.

Additional Crazy Here:    My body likes to fluck with me. It did this crap to me last month too, fertilewindow fakeout. ughh...beyond annoying!!   I don't know is this is a real FW or just another fluke. Also, my BBT is VERY sensitive to alcohol so no drinking during a possible FW, which blows bc the antidote to a mindfluck IS alcohol.   

FX for you that your body gets its act together!

I'm going to play because I'm bored lol 

Your Level of Crazy on a scale of 1-10:

3, I'm pretty calm.

CD /or DPO:

 CD 15

Can I just ____________ already ?!?!!????

Confirm O, get crosshairs

Signs & Symptoms:

I've had some fertile CM, and we've been getting pretty busy.  

Additional Crazy Here:

I've got one temp in there that I'm unsure about. I didn't have 3 straight hours before I took it because I woke up at like 430am not feeling well, and that was the highest temp I've had all month. I woke up at 4:30 ish, went to the bathroom and laid back in bed for another 20 minutes or so. I took my temp at my regular time at 7am, but I don't know how much it could be off because of that. So I guess I'll have to wait and see what happens.

Your Level of Crazy on a scale of 1-10: 10- maybe even 11! ha!

CD /or DPO: CD31  13DPO 

Can I just ____get a positive HPT or AF________ already ?!?!!????

Signs & Symptoms: tired, big sore red nipples, constipated

Additional Crazy Here: I have tested since Wed and still all BFN! I have different symptoms last month than this month so I don't know whether or not to chalk it up to the progesterone (since I had the progesterone last month) but without the IUI meds so my symptoms might be different for AF. Either way I just want to know and get on with the cycle! ugh! I HATE TTCAL brain!

MrsLenau09

CD/DPO <-- Gah! I don't know!! AF hasn't showed up for two months now. I don't know WTF is going on. I'm just waiting for her to visit, or get a BFP, I guess.

Can I just go back to normal, please already?!

Signs/Symptoms none, other than EWCM last week. I'm glad my downstairs is doing SOMEthing!

Additional Crazy DH is driving me insane. We actually had a public argument today, and that doesn't happen. I'm just hurting so badly from being on my feet so much these past two days, and so tired, I just want to zzzzzzzzzz.....
