GTKY: Do you live in the country? City? Suburb? Which do you prefer and why?
Here I asked this question and I really have no idea how I'm going to answer! ha! I currently live in the suburbs. I live in a more city atmosphere until I was 13 and then moved to the country. My DH is from the country so we kind of settled for a little bit of both. I like having access to everything close by, but we do not live right in the middle of it all.
What are you doing this cycle?: Temping, PNV, Preseed, lots of water, and planning to use the 2 OPKs that I found under the sink
Chart Stalks/Rants/Raves: Hoping to see CHs soon. I'm also hoping to see more CM this cycle.
GTKY: Do you live in the country? City? Suburb? Which do you prefer and why?
We live in the suburb of a large metro city. I love having access to the big city, but not being involved daily with the inconveniences of living in a large city.

Chart Stalks/Rants/Raves: gave up on temping this cycle. I suck at it big time.
GTKY: Do you live in the country? City? Suburb? Which do you prefer and why? I have always lived in the 'burbs. DH is from the UK and grew up in a tiny village in England. We bought a house in the suburbs 8 months ago. He loves the convenience of having stores and restaurants near by. He has said he never wants to move back to England, and will never live in the country again. I dream of moving to the country one day. I guess I'll have to settle on camping instead.

Which do you prefer and why? I prefer the Suburbs because there is a stronger sense of community and you know all of your neighbors! Kids (future) can play in the big yard while enjoying fresh air!
What are you doing this cycle?: Nothing too special. I decided to fly out to a conference ~2 days after the rest of my lab with the hopes of not being away my entire FW.
Chart Stalks/Rants/Raves: Any tips on keeping a friendly environment in my ute before O will be appreciated.

H wants to move to the country someday, but I told him only when he stops traveling for work! I agree about watching too many horror movies/Dateline/48 hours.
Chart Stalks/Rants/Raves: I got the CBE Advanced Digital OPK and it said to start using it today as my average cycle is 27 days. I'm now second guessing my decision to actually follow this as last cycle (my first charting) I O'd on CD 17 per FF & my temps and I don't think the 10 tests will end up being enough.. I've considered getting the Wondfo's that everyone here suggests, but I think do to my work schedule & environment testing 2x a day would be challenging.
I use wondfos and only test once a day until the line starts to get close to a positive and then I test twice a day. I also test with FMU even though it says not to because I can gauge the fade-in pattern that way and then test at around 5:00 for my 2nd time when my FMU gives me a darker line. I've been able to catch my surge for the past 4 cycles that I've used wondfos. Good luck!

I live in a small town near downtown. It's a very sweet area, and there are farms nearby (not too close). It feels safe, and we aren't in the middle of nowhere. I can't wait to raise a family here

Cycle/Month: 1/3 vs 2/3 CD: CD 3?? What are you doing this cycle?: PNVs, temping, charting, OPKs Chart Stalks/Rants/Raves: So after 75 days off of BC (anovulatory) I think I may have started a new cycle. I'm somewhere between spotting and light, with is brown/pink/red for the last 3 days. My periods used to be SUPER HEAVY, so maybe I just don't know what light is? I've been using tampons, mainly because I keep expecting it to get heavier, but it hasn't. What do you think, would you consider this spotting?? Perhaps I'm just desperate to do something. I had one day of this earlier in my cycle, but I changed it to spotting on FF when it only lasted 24 hrs. Why it matters... My OB/GYN told me to call her if I got to 90 days without AF, so I might start Provera if this is considered more spotting than light flow. GTKY: Do you live in the country? City? Suburb? Which do you prefer and why? Big city girl now. I grew up in the burbs and will probably move back to the burbs eventually. I like more of a small town feel with less traffic, fresh air and ease of getting around, with the conveniences of living not too far from a major airport, theatre, restaurants, etc.
Chart Stalks/Rants/Raves: I got the CBE Advanced Digital OPK and it said to start using it today as my average cycle is 27 days. I'm now second guessing my decision to actually follow this as last cycle (my first charting) I O'd on CD 17 per FF & my temps and I don't think the 10 tests will end up being enough.. I've considered getting the Wondfo's that everyone here suggests, but I think do to my work schedule & environment testing 2x a day would be challenging.
I use the wondfos and it's a great cheap option. I also just purchased the CBEFM to use for this cycle but I'm also going to use the wondfos bc I usually O on CD 16 - 18. Plus it can't hurt to have a second opinion!
Is it possible for you to test before you go to work, and when you get home?
GTKY: Do you live in the country? City? Suburb? Which do you prefer and why? Suburb of a large city--I like all of the entertainment possibilities. I do not like having to drive so far in so much traffic to get anywhere. If I could choose--I would like to live in a smaller community on more land than a suburban lot, but not necessarily a huge amount of acreage.

Chart Stalks/Rants/Raves: I got the CBE Advanced Digital OPK and it said to start using it today as my average cycle is 27 days. I'm now second guessing my decision to actually follow this as last cycle (my first charting) I O'd on CD 17 per FF & my temps and I don't think the 10 tests will end up being enough.. I've considered getting the Wondfo's that everyone here suggests, but I think do to my work schedule & environment testing 2x a day would be challenging.
I use the wondfos and it's a great cheap option. I also just purchased the CBEFM to use for this cycle but I'm also going to use the wondfos bc I usually O on CD 16 - 18. Plus it can't hurt to have a second opinion!
Is it possible for you to test before you go to work, and when you get home?
I leave my house by about 6am and am fine with testing then, I was under the impression though that with Wondfo's you aren't supposed to use FMU? I can also test anytime after I get home which is usually by about 3:30 pm, I just worry that I drink to much water (at least 64oz) before I leave work and any sample would be to diluted at that point :-(. I am totally open for feedback : opinions on this though :-)
Ya you shouldn't use FMU with wondfos, I just wasn't sure if you pee more than once lol, maybe you could pee again before going. After you get home go pee and then test with your next urine, I'd say. But I'm not expert. Like another pp said, I only test once a day until it gets closer to my FW. Good luck!

What are you doing this cycle?: testing has started. I've had a ton of blood taken over the last 2 days and go back tomorrow for cd3 blood work. I have a sono on Tuesday and a monitoring u/s on cd10. H will do his SA next week too.
Chart Stalks/Rants/Raves: I feel like there is so much happening all of a sudden. I'm really excited to get going with this and feel hopeful again. Yesterday was the first cd1 in a year that I haven't cried through!
GTKY: Do you live in the country? City? Suburb? Which do you prefer and why? We live in town in a somewhat small, country town. We love that it feels country but we are still close to a bigger city. We are hoping that our next house will be in the same area but more out in the country.

What are you doing this cycle?: We're going to try a more relaxed approach this cycle, HIO EOD, and use Preseed.

Chart Stalks/Rants/Raves: I think I am revving up for the O either later today/tomorrow as the OPK line is getting darker (I might be a POAS addict!)
GTKY: Do you live in the country? City? Suburb? Which do you prefer and why? I live in a small city, but it's the largest in my state I love it- it's a slower pace than the city where I grew up in MA, but we still have the feeling of a city.
Cycle/Month: 10/13
CD: 20
What are you doing this cycle?: OPKs, PNVs, temping
Chart Stalks/Rants/Raves: Went to BabiesRUs to buy a baby shower gift and I only bought stuff from the front of the store since I couldn't deal with actually walking through there and seeing all the cute stuff that I have no idea when I'll be able to buy.
GTKY: Do you live in the country? City? Suburb? Which do you prefer and why? Suburb, I prefer it cause it's quiet but we are close enough to downtown for things to do.

GTKY: Do you live in the country? City? Suburb? Which do you prefer and why?
I live in a small town near downtown. It's a very sweet area, and there are farms nearby (not too close). It feels safe, and we aren't in the middle of nowhere. I can't wait to raise a family here
CD: 13
What are you doing this cycle?: temping, OPKs, PNVs and CM
Chart Stalks/Rants/Raves: nope
GTKY: I live in a really small city. It's the best of both since I'm super close to the main stores and the interstate, but I know almost everyone and live 4 doors down from the Mayor.
Cycle/Month: 1/3 vs 2/3
CD: CD 3??
What are you doing this cycle?: PNVs, temping, charting, OPKs
Chart Stalks/Rants/Raves: So after 75 days off of BC (anovulatory) I think I may have started a new cycle. I'm somewhere between spotting and light, with is brown/pink/red for the last 3 days. My periods used to be SUPER HEAVY, so maybe I just don't know what light is? I've been using tampons, mainly because I keep expecting it to get heavier, but it hasn't. What do you think, would you consider this spotting?? Perhaps I'm just desperate to do something. I had one day of this earlier in my cycle, but I changed it to spotting on FF when it only lasted 24 hrs.
Why it matters... My OB/GYN told me to call her if I got to 90 days without AF, so I might start Provera if this is considered more spotting than light flow.
GTKY: Do you live in the country? City? Suburb? Which do you prefer and why? Big city girl now. I grew up in the burbs and will probably move back to the burbs eventually. I like more of a small town feel with less traffic, fresh air and ease of getting around, with the conveniences of living not too far from a major airport, theatre, restaurants, etc.
Edit: spacing
Cycle/Month: 7/10
CD: 5
What are you doing this cycle?: OPKs, Sex, PNV
Chart Stalks/Rants/Raves: None today.
GTKY: Do you live in the country? City? Suburb? Which do you prefer and why? Suburb of a large city--I like all of the entertainment possibilities. I do not like having to drive so far in so much traffic to get anywhere. If I could choose--I would like to live in a smaller community on more land than a suburban lot, but not necessarily a huge amount of acreage.
Cycle/Month: 3/2
CD: 1 boo!
What are you doing this cycle?:same ol same ol
Chart Stalks/Rants/Raves: I was so hoping that I was going to be testing in a couple days, my DD would have been 4/14/14 how freaking awesome right? Bummer.
GTKY: Do you live in the country? City? Suburb? Which do you prefer and why? Small town, not too far from the city though.
Cycle/Month: 6/6
CD: 6
What are you doing this cycle?: Paying closer attention to CM, pineapple core and more frequent grinding.
Chart Stalks/Rants/Raves: Nothing
GTKY: Do you live in the country? City? Suburb? Which do you prefer and why? I live in a suburb right outside a fairly big city. I love it because I'm not too far away from everything, but still far enough out that I get peace & quiet. Also, the neighbors aren't close enough to hear when I tie DH up.
Cycle/Month: 4/4
CD: 3
What are you doing this cycle?: PNVs, OPKs, Temping (after AF goes away, giving myself a little break since it requires me to wake up at 3:45am every morning)
Chart Stalks/Rants/Raves: My AF is a B!tch this month
GTKY: Do you live in the country? City? Suburb? Which do you prefer and why? We live in the Suburbs. My husband is from small college town and I love to go visit but I love the Suburbs and close enough to the city to do stuff if wanted.
