What are you doing?: Temping, OPKs, CM
Rants/Chart Stalks/Thoughts?: Temps are so erratic this month. Kind of annoying but hoping they level as my cycle progresses. Also, hoping for a short cycle. Last month was my first 28 month cycle with ovulation ever (without bc).

My Chart | All are Welcome
CD: 21
What are you doing?: Temping, OPK, PNV and CM.
Rants/Chart Stalks/Thoughts?: This cycle I used the Clearblue Advanced OPKs instead of Wondfos. NEVER AGAIN. I've had a stupid flashing smiley face for 7 days. Seems to be pretty common with them from what I've read online. Next cycle I'm going back to my non advanced Wondfos.
GTKY: What is your favorite meal to make? I love cooking and baking. I like to make anything DH and DS enjoy. Baked chicken and twice baked cauliflour with a salad seems to be the favorite right now.
CD: 8
What are you doing?: Temping, PNV's, started OPK's this morning, picked up some green tea this morning to try for about a week or so
Rants/Chart Stalks/Thoughts?: Still trying to figure out this temp thing...
GTKY: What is your favorite meal to make? I love to make pesto chicken with veggies! DH doesn't like pesto, so I usually just make it when he's gone and I'm having girls' night at the house with wine and garlic bread. Yum!
Cycle/Month: 4
CD: 5
What are you doing?: preseed when the time comes, EoD, PNV, temping
Rants/Chart Stalks/Thoughts?: nothing, just waiting for CD10ish to start EOD
GTKY: What is your favorite meal to make? I'm a weirdo that likes chopping things... so anything I get to chop things.
ETA - I do have a rant. I told my parents we were trying because we are all really close. But said to keep it to themselves. Then my dad told my aunt (his sister), so now that side know we are trying. My mom yelled at him, only to tell my other aunt (her side) and a friend. *sigh* now I feel like everyone knows.
CD: 11
What are you doing?: opks, temping, maybe preseed. clomid 5-9.
Rants/Chart Stalks/Thoughts?: Nothing except my dogs make it very hard to get a good nights sleep. I've been annoyed all morning.
GTKY: What is your favorite meal to make? Either chicken parmesean or chicken enchiladas. Easy and delicious.
Cycle/Month: 3/3
CD: 22
What are you doing?: temping, charting
Rants/Chart Stalks/Thoughts?: FF gave me CH this morning for 9 days ago and I dont trust it. My temps have been ridiculous because of mouthbreathing with the weather change, and I missed temping the last two days because I was hungover on both due to my husband's birthday celebrations. But it gave me solid CH for the first time, possibly because I have been charting CM as well??
GTKY: What is your favorite meal to make? Any kind of soup! Potato, broccoli cheese, chicken artichoke florentine, tomato....

What are you doing?: CM, Temping. OPK when I feel like torturing myself (they always look the same...allllmost positive, but not -for weeks)
Rants/Chart Stalks/Thoughts?: Gigantic temp drop this morning. I think it may have been a thermometer malfunction because I should probably be dead if that's not the case. Lol.
GTKY: What is your favorite meal to make? I love to bake but HATE to cook. So, I'll say tacos because it's easy.

Rants/Chart Stalks/Thoughts?: FF forcasted O for yesterday. Expected solid smiley face today (peak fertility) and to O today or tomorrow, but still only high fertility. I'll be interested to see if I get a peak or O without a peak. Or run out of sticks before O.
GTKY: What is your favorite meal to make? I love cooking and have way to many things I like to make.

CD: 24
What are you doing?: charting, temping, preseed, sex in FW
Rants/Chart Stalks/Thoughts?: my temp went up to 97.7 today, which is normally only a post-O temp for me! So I may have finally O'd! I will just have to see if temps stay up over the next couple of days and if so I've made it to the 2ww
GTKY: What is your favorite meal to make?
Scallops in chablis sauce - I don't make it often because it's more involved than typical quick meals that we usually eat, but it's very good!

Rants/Chart Stalks/Thoughts?: had a temp dip the past two days and was crampy. Hoping temp rises higher tomorrow. Chart stalk? Does that look like an o dip?
GTKY: What is your favorite meal to make? I like making curry. But it means we eat it a lot and DH is sick of it
CD: 5
What are you doing?: PreSeed, temping, CM, and starting OPKs this month.
Rants/Chart Stalks/Thoughts?: We go visit my parents next week, and I'm contemplating telling my Mom we're trying. I'm thinking long and hard about it before I do. I don't want to tell any of my friends here and might appreciate having one person besides DH to be supportive. She's generally great but I feel wary about opening us up to outside criticism or opinions...
GTKY: What is your favorite meal to make? I love both cooking and baking. My favorite meal to cook is probably lasagna, or Swedish meatballs. I love lots of elements to a meal (when I have time) and I enjoy the process. Plus, making an elaborate meal always makes it taste that much better.
BFP 12.13.13. Baby Girl EDD 8.21.14.
CD: 7
What are you doing?: Temping, OPK, Preseed and was contemplating Mucinex.
Rants/Chart Stalks/Thoughts?: DH said to me this morning, "When are you going to get pregnant already?" Now for some of you, this may seem rude or insensitive. For my DH, it means he really is ready! We have had some issues in the past of him not wanting more kids for various reasons.
GTKY: What is your favorite meal to make? For DH, wings. . . he tells me mine are as good as his favorite Hooters wings, which isn't hard because I buy the Hooters breading and the Hooters sauce! For me. . . Roast beef, mashed potatoes and green beans. As a matter of fact, that's WFD tonight! Better go stick that roast in the crock pot!

What are you doing?: CM, vitamins, temping, water
Rants/Chart Stalks/Thoughts?: My dogs are messing with my temping, so its hard to get accurate readings. I know if they weren't waking me up at random times of the night I wouldn't have been surprised by AF.
GTKY: What is your favorite meal to make? Hmm...I love making casseroles. Its weird, and hubs says they are old lady food, but I love the ease!
My Ovulation Chart
Cd: 26 I think...
What are you doing: charting temps, cm, opks, pnvs, drinking water, and using mucinex when I think of it. Eod sex since cd 8, I'm getting tired...
Rants/chart stalks/ thoughts: I would love a chart stalk. I'm so confused this cycle. I thought my cycles were getting back to normal after my long summer cycles since last cycle was back to a normal length. Obviously not... I had a sinus infection earlier this cycle which totally messed up my temps. I have also been having these fake out opks which really irritate me. I had a nearly pos test very early so marked it and put tht it was iffy in the notes. I've had very close opks for like 5 days now also. But my temp is currently pretty low so I don't think I've oed yet. Any ideas???
Gtky: I love to cook and bake. Really any and everything. I always bake pies at thanksgiving and cookies at Christmas so I'm excited for that.
Edited for clarity.

CD: 3
What are you doing?: I'll start my OPKs probably around CD 9, then ED or EOD until O or DH leaves for a week to go hunting.
Rants/Chart Stalks/Thoughts?: Just waiting for AF to go away, last month I only had a 2 day period, so we'll see what happens this cycle. I've just been super emotional since I got off BC, I hate it. I'm tearing up at commercials on the radio and sad stories on FB, it's a problem.
GTKY: What is your favorite meal to make? I don't really cook, but when I do, I like to try to make Puerto Rican food (since I'm half Puerto Rican), but I'm not very good at it.
CD: 12
What are you doing?: Temping, OPKs, Checking CM, and EOD sex.
Rants/Chart Stalks/Thoughts?: I actually think I may have already O'd. I've been bad about temping at the same time every morning. Meh.

Rants/Chart Stalks/Thoughts: Meh. I don't have anything today.
QOTW: Brunch! I love, love, love making brunch. Sausage, omelets, cinnamon rolls, fresh fruit... Yummy
CD: 8
What are you doing?: Temping, charting, HIO EOD, preseed
Rants/Chart Stalks/Thoughts?: I'm trying to will by body to O when I want it to... I think it's going to go poorly! On Thursday I leave for a long weekend with my mom (which will lead to temping issues...) and then my husband is gone hunting for a week. If I O around the time I did last month (CD 19) we will surely miss the FW. So we shall see I suppose, I'm really not feeling too optimistic.
GTKY: What is your favorite meal to make? Cheesy potatoes. So easy and so delicious.
CD: 5
What are you doing?: I am going to be taking Progesterone 100mg 3 times a day after O. As well as all the regular hoopla.
Rants/Chart Stalks/Thoughts?: Welp, Get ready to flame. The progesterone was given to me by my OB and not an RE.
I went in for my annual OB visit in August. While there I told her that my cycles had gotten shorter. Averaging 29 days last year, down to averaging 26 days this year. I told her we had just started actively trying and that if my 1st time charting was correct, I was 7DPO. She said she would go ahead and do a testosterone and progesterone testing that day since I was there and at the correct time. The result was an 8 for progesterone. She said that was on the very low side of normal for that cycle day and that if I kept finding short LPs she would offer something, probably clomid. (I know, OBs hand out clomid like candy and we all hate them for it). Well I just kept tracking. That was cycle 1 of charting and 10 day LP, Cycle 2 was a chemical pregnancy, Cycle 3 was a 9 day LP, Cycle 4 was a 10 day LP. I officially had a pattern of short LP and a one CP. I know there is debate on what is considered short LP, but from what I gather 9 is definitely too short and 10 is a maybe. So I called my OB office to discuss and they immediately offered Clomid. I had a feeling they would, and thank god I was smart enough to say "No, I don't want to take clomid unmonitored". So they offered me the 100mg progesterone, 3 times a day. DH and I waffled on what to do and I had a long convo with the pharmacist who said there are very few side-effects and it will certainly not hinder the TTC process. And in the least case, should lengthen my LP a bit. Did a lot of googling and it seems this is a very small step, so I'm doing it. Flame away. And if you made it this far, thanks for reading my blog.
If anyone else is on the oral progesterone, I'd love to hear your experiences.
GTKY: What is your favorite meal to make?
Make? I don't make much but I'm great at ordering...lol.
I do make a mean thanksgiving casserole. Baked chicken, stuffing, assorted veggies and cream of mushroom/chicken all layered in a casserole. Everyone loves it, even when it's not thanksgiving time.

I went today to talk to my doc about my lab results and he confirmed I have insulin resistant pcos :-( we are going to try one round of monitored clomid this month, then just try metmorfin til march because I travel a lot for work and can't be closely monitored. So I take clomid cd5-9 and will do EOD sex probably starting cd10. I use opks, temp, and will have ultrasounds to check egg development.
Rants/Chart Stalks/Thoughts?: just bummed about the pcos diagnosis...I kind of stopped temping last cycle when it went so long so i have to get back in the habit

Rants/Chart Stalks/Thoughts?: i switched to vaginal temping and am regretting it a bit...I can't hear the stupid thermometer going off now even if I put my head under the covers. I haven't noticed a huge change in temp consistency, so I think I'll switch back after this cycle.
