Thoughts/Rants/Chart Stalks: having a very rough day. My grandmother passed away in February, and today would have been her birthday. I was the only grandchild who didn't give her great grandchildren before she died. We were really close, and I miss her so much, and I know she'll be with me when I become a mom, but I'm regretting not starting to try sooner. Ugh. Sorry for the vent. I just can't handle life today.
GTKY: What animals do you have if any? PIP! 3 cats, Jasmine, Wendy & Malcolm. On mobile, so I'll pip later.

You should know how great things were before you. Even so, they're better still today.
Now I can't think who I was before you ruined everything in the nicest way
What are you doing? Temping, OPKs, CM, green tea. Maybe some pom after O.
Thoughts/Rants/Chart Stalks: None today, because it's BUCTOBER. And I'm wearing my Pirates shirt at work.
GTKY: What animals do you have if any? PIP! If you don't have any post a funny animal pic/gif! We have one dog, he's a Humane Society special. We know he's part border collie and part beagle, but we have no idea what else.

What are you doing? Charting, temping, opks, prenatal vitamins, Preseed
Thoughts/Rants/Chart Stalks: grrr...forgot to temp this morning (already posted discussion rant) and I am predicted to O today. Oh well, as you kind ladies pointed out, it is not the end of the world and I can still see the temp shift if I temp tomorrow
GTKY: What animals do you have if any? PIP! If you don't have any post a funny animal pic/gif! I have one coonhound dog, Dixie.
What are you doing? Taking my first temp tomorrow morning. Not sure how it's going to go because I find myself waking up about 10 min before my alarm lately and rolling around to get comfortable...is that too much movement? I'm such a newb at this!
Thoughts/Rants/Chart Stalks: Don't know why I'm so nervous about temping. Guess I'm excited to see how it goes for us, but I feel like there's so much room for error and I'm going to mess it up somehow and waste my time ie: waking up early on the weekends to maintain consistency, yet somehow screw it up.
GTKY: What animals do you have if any? PIP! If you don't have any post a funny animal pic/gif! 2 dogs-Meara and Belle.
Thoughts/Rants/Chart Stalks: My internet is being a little bitch. Either that or it's my new computer. I'm so pissed. We've had it less than a month, and I can't figure out what's wrong with it. I hope this even posts. It'll load some sites and not others. It's being sooooo slow as well. I'm not a huge computer person, one of the only reasons I get one is the internet, so I feel like a brand new computer should be able to open Facebook when it has a working internet to be on (see, I don't even know what I'm supposed to call it).
TTGP related: Got my solid smiley today, so 3 more days of HIO ED.

Thoughts/Rants/Chart Stalks: Patrick woke up this morning at 2:30 which is really uncommon. DS isn't working today and instead of getting up he pretends to be asleep so I got up which probably messed up my chart. What did the jerk so then, he got up as soon as I laid back down. Really? You couldn't have gotten up? Ugh.
GTKY: What animals do you have if any? PIP! If you don't have any post a funny animal pic/gif! Like sweetTea42 I also have a little monkey who is worse than our animals. I also have a dog named Roxy, a cat named Boots, and 7 chickens. Patrick and Roxy like to get into trouble together.
@megowaffles - sorry for the rough day and for your loss earlier this year. I can imagine that must be really tough.
@wareagle1220 - it would seem odd to have a strong positive opk after O, but I've seen other people mention something similar so it just might happen sometimes. Or possibly the higher temp is high for some other reason other than O, and the true rise hasn't quite started yet. Either way, you're smart to HIO just in case!
Married since 8.2.08 DS born 8.11.14 BFP #2: 9.14.16, EDD: 5.24.17
Thoughts/Rants/Chart Stalks: I had a temp shift this morning. Never got a fully positive opk and still have those damn blinky smiley faces so I am hoping I just missed my surge and I have O'd but my chart is a train wreck so I have no freakin' clue.
GTKY: What animals do you have if any? PIP! If you don't have any post a funny animal pic/gif!
@wareagle1220, that's probably what I'll do. It's not that I roll around for 10-15 min so much, as roll around maybe a minute or so, get comfy and fall back asleep...and then repeat every 10-15 minutes until I get up. I'm going to have to suck it up and just wake up enough to temp and hope I can fall back asleep.
What are you doing? BBT, CBEFM, OPKs, CM/CP, SA for Hubs (I have called twice over the last five days trying to set up an appointment--I'm about ready to chew out someone over the phone).
Thoughts/Rants/Chart Stalks: Why is my temp dropping already? Maybe the cooler nights have something to do with it?
GTKY: What animals do you have if any? PIP! If you don't have any post a funny animal pic/gif! We are cat people. We have the one in my sig, Shitty Kitty, and two others: Fatty McButter Pants and Scaredy Cat.
@wareagle1220 - I'm no expert, I was going to ask if LH levels kind of had to linger around before completely going away?

What are you doing? temping, opks, ed sex right now
Thoughts/Rants/Chart Stalks: Thanks for the help on the chart stalk yesterday! I got a much darker (possibly positive?) opk last night and my temp was down again today, so I think maybe I'll O today or tomorrow. Feeling better about life.
GTKY: What animals do you have if any? PIP! If you don't have any post a funny animal pic/gif!
Everyone's pets are killing me! So cute!
This is Buddy - dressed up as 'un petit puppi', in a beret and scarf that my mom brought me back from her trip to Paris a few weeks ago. I heart him so much.
What are you doing? Maybe opk, traveling for work during FW
Thoughts/Rants/Chart Stalks: talked to doctor yesterday and she wants to run a CD21 blood test as LP has been short, and period really light. Would like to confirm O occurs and uterine lining. I do not currently temp at direction of obgyn.
GTKY: What animals do you have if any? PIP! If you don't have any post a funny animal pic/gif! No pets, but working hard to convince DH we should get a puppy

What are you doing? Temping/OPKs (when I have enough of a brain to remember to bring them to work...)
Thoughts/Rants/Chart Stalks: I'm a little pissed/upset/scared that I can get an almost positive OPK that half of TB thinks is + and half thinks is - but have my temps go down... and pissed that MH shut me down AGAIN last night.
GTKY: What animals do you have if any? PIP! If you don't have any post a funny animal pic/gif! 3 dogs and a fish. Keelin (1.5, the little white devil) Jäger (6, Mr. Fancy Pants crossing his legs) and Kai (7, the wild man in a tree). Then Fishy has been with me for over 2 years now.
What are you doing? temping, went ahead and started Wondfo OPK yesterday (got a faint line typical of my long fade in), checking CM, taking Mucinex for bad allergies anyways (to prevent allergies from developing into sinus infection...when I found out some of you ladies take it to increase CM I was like woohoo! added bonus!), and EOD for now (yesterday I posted we needed to pick up the pace and DH spontaneously initiated this morning!)
Thoughts/Rants/Chart Stalks: None today. Trying to be positive after the sting of my co-worker announcing yesterday (she wasn't even trying and is nearly 10 years younger).
GTKY: What animals do you have if any? PIP! If you don't have any post a funny animal pic/gif!

What are you doing? OPKs, temping, charting, Metformin, exercise
Thoughts/Rants/Chart Stalks: Chart stalk please. I think FF even doesn't know WTF is going on. I just had my 3rd day of a raised temp but I didn't get CH's. Thoughts? Also, I thought Met was supposed to help regulate my cycle!? I am pushing 40 days :-/
GTKY: What animals do you have if any? PIP! If you don't have any post a funny animal pic/gif! No pic, but I have a white cat named Nala
What are you doing? Temping, charting, PNVs, BD EOD/ED during FW, trying to get moving every day.
Thoughts/Rants/Chart Stalks: Temp is going crazy so far these first two days of the cycle, but it's still AF, so who knows.
GTKY: What animals do you have if any? PIP! If you don't have any post a funny animal pic/gif! I have two cats, Peter (a mainecoon) and Cali (gray calico)...they are the best.
@notelsie I feel really bad. Day 123?! Hopefully you get some answers.
Cycle/Month: 1/1
CD: 7
What are you doing? Charting, Temping
Thoughts/Rants/Chart Stalks: Just got out of my MRI of my neck. My doctor is leaning towards a protrusion on my C5 pinching a nerve. Results tomorrow
GTKY: What animals do you have if any? PIP! If you don't have any post a funny animal pic/gif! 3 dogs- Nittany, a 4 year old Toy Fox Terrier; Luna, a 3 1/2 year old American Eskimo Mix; and Coala, a 1 1/2 year old Border Collie Mix. And 2 cats- Kitty and Bucco who we just rescued on Sunday
1- My son is not even 8 months old yet and I've had 5 family members ask if I'm pregnant. I'm skinnier than I've ever been, so its not like I have a baby bump catching people's eye. Shouldn't there be some sort of rule that you have to wait at least a year after someone has a baby before you start pestering them?
2- I hate my body. AF keeps getting shorter and my cycles longer, and its bothering the crap out of me. I am thankful that AF is very light and short now, but at the same time, I'm afraid she'll disappear altogether in the near future.
GTKY: What animals do you have if any? PIP! I have a bunch. Our 2 yr old german shepherd, 8 yr old chihuahua, my two turkeys we got as chicks in the spring (H wants to eat them pretty bad), a horse, a pig that were planning to eat in the spring, chickens, a gecko (that's what my daughter is holding in the pic, ignore her bedhead). Half of them are on my dad's farm. The dogs and gecko live with us.
What are you doing? Not temping yet. DH wants to wait a few more months until we start that again. For now just taking it day by day.
Thoughts/Rants/Chart Stalks: I'm fighting a cold so there is plenty of stuff I can rant about but instead I will just be thankful for today.
GTKY: What animals do you have if any? I have 2 cats which were litter mates. The boy is Ernie and the girl is Cleo. They are 5 now. I've had them since they were weaned off their mommy. Time has flown.

Mommy and Daddy miss you and love you so very much!
GTKY: What animals do you have if any? PIP! If you don't have any post a funny animal pic/gif! I have an almost 13 year old yorkie, 7.5 lbs, spoiled rotten and the light of my life (other than DH of course). I watched her birth and she has been my baby ever since. Pic in siggy.
Thoughts/Rants/Chart Stalks: I'm still getting to know my cycle, since I didn't have my period with my Mirena in. I was really thinking I would at lease get the "fertile" just not "Peak Fertility" reading on the OPK. Last month I had a 31 day cycle, we'll see what this one ends up being! I gotta say I love peeing on those sticks every morning. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself during the 2WW this month....
GTKY: What animals do you have if any? PIP! If you don't have any post a funny animal pic/gif! I've already posted about my precious little man Tini, I can't help it, he is my baby! Here is a pic of him all long haired and shaggy, and giving my 2.5y.o. nephew kisses
Thoughts/Rants/Chart Stalks: So I started spotting again today and I'm so upset about it. 2 cycles ago I started spotting a week before AF arrived then during the next cycle I had 3 days of no bleeding then spotting again, went to doctor who gave me Provera to reset my cycle. I was really optomistic this cycle would be different but it looks like it's not gonna work out. I'm so frustrated as well because I've been trying to eat better and exercise more which I've been doing really well with except now I'm just really sad and all I want to do is eat a huge cake:-( GTKY: What animals do you have if any? PIP! If you don't have any post a funny animal pic/gif!
I have 3 dogs a pug-Oliver, a french bulldog-Layla and DH's beagle-Bentley
Thoughts/Rants/Chart
Stalks: Made an appointment with a new OB today, hoping to get a second opinion about our "holding period"
GTKY: What animals do you have if any? PIP! If you don't have any post a funny animal pic/gif! We just adopted 2 cats about a month ago. We said if we were not pregnant a year after we stopped avoiding (August), we would get a cat. We ended up falling in love with 2 of them, so now we are proud cat owners.
And apparently I have no idea how to PIP anymore....
TTC #2 since 8/2012 Me:28 H:34 Me: all tests normal! H: Azoospermia (Sperm count zero). MFI Urologist all test normal. Biopsy Feb. 14
@ScrappyLika You cannot have him! But I understand your desire to steal him...all of my friends love him the most! However, he LOVES DH way more than me, so Cali is kinda my girl.

GTKY: What animals do you have if any? PIP! If you don't have any post a funny animal pic/gif! We have a chihuahua. This is him when he was a puppy.

What are you doing? BBT, CM, OPKs, (almost) ED BD.
Thoughts/Rants/Chart Stalks: So, like I posted last night, I've been spotting for a few days. It was a little more last night, and I thought maybe I was heading towards CD1 with no O. However, I'm only spotting a tiny bit today. My OPKs are still really faint, and I have no idea if O is coming or if I'm already out or what. I could really use some ute goggles. Boo.
GTKY: What animals do you have if any? PIP! If you don't have any post a funny animal pic/gif!
I have a cat that belonged to H's ex-wife, that we have custody of. So, yeah.... Also, I'm too lazy to get off mobile to post a picture/figure out how to do it from mobile.

What are you doing? Temping, charting, sex
Thoughts/Rants/Chart Stalks:
2 rants, just to get them off my chest.
1- My son is not even 8 months old yet and I've had 5 family members ask if I'm pregnant. I'm skinnier than I've ever been, so its not like I have a baby bump catching people's eye. Shouldn't there be some sort of rule that you have to wait at least a year after someone has a baby before you start pestering them?
2- I hate my body. AF keeps getting shorter and my cycles longer, and its bothering the crap out of me. I am thankful that AF is very light and short now, but at the same time, I'm afraid she'll disappear altogether in the near future.
GTKY: What animals do you have if any? PIP! I have a bunch. Our 2 yr old german shepherd, 8 yr old chihuahua, my two turkeys we got as chicks in the spring (H wants to eat them pretty bad), a horse, a pig that were planning to eat in the spring, chickens, a gecko (that's what my daughter is holding in the pic, ignore her bedhead). Half of them are on my dad's farm. The dogs and gecko live with us.
I don't know why most of them are sideways. ..
CD: 5
What are you doing? Not temping yet. DH wants to wait a few more months until we start that again. For now just taking it day by day.
Thoughts/Rants/Chart Stalks: I'm fighting a cold so there is plenty of stuff I can rant about but instead I will just be thankful for today.
GTKY: What animals do you have if any? I have 2 cats which were litter mates. The boy is Ernie and the girl is Cleo. They are 5 now. I've had them since they were weaned off their mommy. Time has flown.
Cycle/Month: 2/2
CD: 14
What are you doing? Charting using Clear Blue OPK
Thoughts/Rants/Chart Stalks: I'm still getting to know my cycle, since I didn't have my period with my Mirena in. I was really thinking I would at lease get the "fertile" just not "Peak Fertility" reading on the OPK. Last month I had a 31 day cycle, we'll see what this one ends up being! I gotta say I love peeing on those sticks every morning. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself during the 2WW this month....
GTKY: What animals do you have if any? PIP! If you don't have any post a funny animal pic/gif! I've already posted about my precious little man Tini, I can't help it, he is my baby! Here is a pic of him all long haired and shaggy, and giving my 2.5y.o. nephew kisses
My cycle before this was close to 100 days, but my doctor gave me provera. The obgyn she referred me to was cray.. so ready for a second opinion
I'll be praying for your neck

What are you doing? ED sex, OPKs, temping, PNV
Thoughts/Rants/Chart Stalks: So I started spotting again today and I'm so upset about it. 2 cycles ago I started spotting a week before AF arrived then during the next cycle I had 3 days of no bleeding then spotting again, went to doctor who gave me Provera to reset my cycle. I was really optomistic this cycle would be different but it looks like it's not gonna work out. I'm so frustrated as well because I've been trying to eat better and exercise more which I've been doing really well with except now I'm just really sad and all I want to do is eat a huge cake:-(

What are you doing? Temp, OPK,
Thoughts/Rants/Chart Stalks: Made an appointment with a new OB today, hoping to get a second opinion about our "holding period"
GTKY: What animals do you have if any? PIP! If you don't have any post a funny animal pic/gif!
We just adopted 2 cats about a month ago. We said if we were not pregnant a year after we stopped avoiding (August), we would get a cat. We ended up falling in love with 2 of them, so now we are proud cat owners.
And apparently I have no idea how to PIP anymore....

What are you doing? BBT, CM, OPKs, (almost) ED BD.
Thoughts/Rants/Chart Stalks: So, like I posted last night, I've been spotting for a few days. It was a little more last night, and I thought maybe I was heading towards CD1 with no O. However, I'm only spotting a tiny bit today. My OPKs are still really faint, and I have no idea if O is coming or if I'm already out or what. I could really use some ute goggles. Boo.
GTKY: What animals do you have if any? PIP! If you don't have any post a funny animal pic/gif!
I have a cat that belonged to H's ex-wife, that we have custody of. So, yeah.... Also, I'm too lazy to get off mobile to post a picture/figure out how to do it from mobile.
