Signs Symptoms: none, I just want to start peeing on things again.

Additional Crazy Here: 95% of my crazy is not ttcal related. I'm just in a bad mood. Not boo hoo bad, more like stab someone in an eye with an orangewood stick bad.

Your Level of Crazy on a scale of 1 to 10: 3

CD /or DPO: CD8

Can I just ____________ already ?!?!!???? get to the confirmed O day!

Signs Symptoms: creamy/watery CM...O date has been CD 12, so I am hoping its here on time. I start OPKs tomorrow (maybe tonight) which makes me irrationally excited!

Additional Crazy Here: I changed my temp time for 330am which has proved very helpful. I bought digital OPKs and HPT and 2 "nicer" HPT instead of the wondfos which I am also excited about.

My current crazy rant is centered around DH being on a 24h shift od CD 13. Which is fine is I do indeed O on CD 12, if not we will be having sex at 415am on CD 13...we actually plan to anyway just encase, but I am afraid if I haven't O'd yet we will be screwed since we can't BD until CD 14 at like 615am

I just like that you have it scheduled to the minute - and moderately jealous. Half of my crazy train worry is whether we will BD at the right time. MH does not do well with a schedule.

Be pregnant Signs Symptoms: brown spotting this morning and a BFFN. Additional Crazy Here: Just blah, I'm sad, and I pretty much know that BFN means AF is coming soon... But somewhere I have a teensie shred of hope that I tested too early and that my spotting is implantation. I think I'm just desperate since my EDD is coming up. Please slap me back into reality.

(((hugs))) and I am sorry for the BFN. When do you think you O'd?

CD /or DPO: CD8

Can I just _____POAS_______ already ?!?!!????

Signs Symptoms: None really

Additional Crazy Here: I did not O until CD20 last month so I know I should wait at least a week to start OPKs but I am not convinced that I will O so late again. My last two cycles pre-loss were 35 days so that would make sense for a latter O but before that my cycles were always 29-30 days. I should wait until CD12 to even start but I have a feeling that I'll cave and break out the wondfos much earlier.

Signs Symptoms: My temp went down a little today but is still high for me at 13DPO. But I'm done testing.

Additional Crazy Here: I hate this part of the cycle, when you know you're out, just waiting for AF...but you're really just already waiting to O next cycle, ya know?

CD /or DPO: 30/1dpo

Can I just _____Confirm O_______ already ?!?!!????

Signs Symptoms: Finally some EWCM yesterday, the start of a temp rise (the 4th rise this fertile window - REALLY hoping it stays up there), possibly some creamy CM, mild O pains of CL pains or whatever they be.

Additional Crazy Here: Since I ran out of OPK's days ago, and seem eternally stuck in this fertile window, I had told DH on Wed that we would break yesterday and come back at it today. Then I got EWCM... so the break was cancelled. Until he told me that he jerked off in the shower yesterday morning. I FLIPPEDTHEFUCKOUT on him. He has been told on many many many occasions that spanking the monkey is an absolute no-no during baby making time (he also didn't have a stellar SA, so I was hoping for the 36 hour rejuvenation period on the soldiers). I'm still angry at him. We're still decently covered in the BD department, but Come the Fluck On... It's not like he hasn't gotten any recently! MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. I was totally stalking your chart today and was excited to see the temp rise! FX FX FX it stays up there!

2. oh my gooood I would be so pissed at DH. That is so ridiculous. Especially with all the BDing! Your timing is still really good if you O'd yesterday, but you have every reason to be pissed off. If you want, you can have him come on here and we can all tell him NO JERKING OFF DURING THE FW!!!!

Luckily dh doesn't seem to have a problem rising to the occasion whenever. Our plan had been to just have sex everyday from sat when the fw opens until at least the negative opk...not sure we can make it to confirmed o. But with dh working on CD 13 I'm paranoid. We decided if it doesn't work this month then he will take the shift off next month in my fw

Can I just __confirm O__ already ?!?!!????

Signs Symptoms: Nothing physical. My chart is confusing me this month.

Additional Crazy Here: This might turn into a crazy rant, so be warned!

1) I feel like I Oed on CD 14, but FF is going to say it's CD16 if my temp stays up. One of us is wrong. I feel like I really don't know my body. I'm glad I decided to temp this cycle bc I would have stopped having sex after I thought I Oed. So at least I know my bases are covered no matter which day it really is.

2) I only have 26 or 27 day cycles so Oing on CD 16 worries me that my LP will be shorter. Or I won't know when to expect AF if she comes later than usual.

3) (Not TTCR) My cardiologists office called while I was on vacation bc they want me to wear the holter monitor again. I haven't called them back and I'm putting off getting the monitor. I'm afraid they'll tell me to stop TTC while they figure out if anything is wrong.

Thanks for letting me get this out!! (I told you it would be long!)

This doesn't happen - your LP length is always the same for the most part - give or take a day. The more accurate way to actually track O is once you get AF (which I really hope you don't) is to count back however many days your LP is. So say you got AF this cycle still at CD26 and you always have 12 day LP's - then you know you really O'de on CD14, not CD16

No one method is 100% percent accurate. That 's why the combo of temps, CM & opk's is really the best way to estimate when O is. One of those methods alone is not an accurate way to confirm O date by.

Thanks Katharine! I figured my cycle would be longer, but it's reassuring to hear it and that it won't effect my LP. It usually varies by a day or two anyways. I wish my CM changed, there's no point in tracking it, it's always wet creamy stuff. I marked EWCM once this cycle, but I'm not even sure if that's what it was. TMI warning - I noticed it on the TP after a BM so I'm not even sure where it came from. I checked internally and couldn't find any, so who knows!

(((hugs))) I'm sorry you are having a rough day. I'm not sure what the temp difference is in celsius, but in fahrenheit it goes up .2 every extra hour of sleep. I think since your temp was lower than yesterday's you still would have had the temp drop - just not sure by how much. I guess what I'm trying to say is I don't think sleeping in hurt your chart. It's frustrating but your body needed that sleep. Don't beat yourself up. More ((((hugs)))).

Thank you! I'm sure that sleeping in really didn't hurt my chart, I'm just grasping at straws because I'm annoyed and cranky. I really wanted to see a rise in temp today, like I've been waiting for for like a week now. I appreciate your input and hugs though!
