Rants/raves/chart stalks? Our little Riley passed away yesterday... I am so heartbroken I feel like we got to say goodbye because she was slowly leaving us for the past few days. DH was home with her when she passed, I was on my way home from work So sad I wasn't there but I know she knew how much I love her. Burying her was so sad, but now she's with her sister who we lost in August. I hope each day gets better.. I woke up this morning and burst into tears. Our house is so quiet now, it's just me and DH. As we buried Riley yesterday we both prayed for a baby. I think Riley let us go so we could make room in our hearts for a baby and wouldn't have to share our love. Ugh, I'm so sad.
GTKY: what's your favorite room in your house and why? Our living room is so comfy
What are you doing? Green tea, CBE digital starting Cd 12, preseed, temping, baby asprin, checking cm
Rants/raves/chart stalks? No rants today. I'm trying to keep myself busy and not get so wrapped up in it all this month. (Easy to do this early in the cycle. Let's see what I'm like in a week.)
GTKY: what's your favorite room in your house and why? Bedroom! We have always said we are glad we splurged on our mattress and hotel collection sheets from Macy's. They feel like Heaven!
@ally1986 at this point, it looks like ff got it right. But I think you'll just have to wait and see what your temps do the next few days. FF sometimes jumps the gun and will move CH with more info and more temps. I'd keep HIO anyway
Me: 26 DH: 26
Together since November 2006 Married September 5, 2011
@TravelingCouple :: Big Hugs:: @Ally1986 I would also agree w/ FF, but you still did hit your FW so your not out at all and as PP said FF could change your O also( that chick keeps movin mine
Cycle: 7
CD: 16
What are you doing? All things
Rants/raves/chart stalks? Tired of + OPKs (day 4) & least it's trending down so tomorrow my O will be confirmed and we would have pretty good timing
GTKY: what's your favorite room in your house and why? Sunroom, cozy n I can just look at the Bambi's n Thumpers with a mix of reality tv... Lol
TravelingCouple Sorry about Riley! Loss is so difficult! I like your spin though - making room for a baby. Prayer helps, I'm thinking if your family.
Cycle:1
CD: 11
What are you doing?: Green Tea, Pom Juice, PNV, Vitamin D, Just started temping today. Charting on FF (Thanks for the pointers for those of you who chimed in).
Rants/raves/chart stalks?: I don't have enough data to chart my temp yet, so that is frustrating. Why can't technology know everything it needs to without me doing anything? Haha! I'm wondering if I felt some ovlulation pain yesterday, and I thought I noticed a change in my body smell, so my DH and I hit the sheets last night just in case. My BBT this morning was 97.2 so I think it was just a regular twinge, but we'll see.
GTKY: what's your favorite room in your house and why: Its a tie between my kitchen and my living room. Both are comfortable and stay nice a toasty warm in this COLD COLD winter!

CD: 19 What are you doing? The usual, less sex than I'd like at this point--see below. Rants/raves/chart stalks? I got like, irrationally angry at DH last night because after I made him dinner and we had a great night drinking wine and playing a game and him joking about me "getting lucky" after, DD woke up at like 10, and I went in to cuddle her for a few minutes. I got into bed and realized DH was already snoring. I was PISSED. I mean, he knows we have to have sex to get pregnant, right? I wouldn't be so mad if it wasn't getting close to O. Now baby is napping and he's working out instead of sex, and tonight he told me he's playing video games. I honestly feel like he's trying to avoid it. I just he would initiate SOME of the time when we're close to O so I don't feel like I'm the only one trying. Sorry, end rant. GTKY: what's your favorite room in your house and why? Probably the nursery. I put the most thought into decorating that room, and it's beautiful and calming.
What are you doing? temping, charting, PNV (not TTC yet)
Rants/raves/chart stalks?
Question: FF hasn't given me crosshairs yet, and it seems as though I'm about to get my period. Would you manually indicate the O date? on CD21 or CD22 or something? (chart stalk, anyone? thanks!)
GTKY: what's your favorite room in your house and why?
The living room - it's the one room that stays relatively clean and orderly.
GTKY: what's your favorite room in your house and why?
Right now we are living with the hub's parent's while we find a new house (looking at a few today. fx). But my favorite room in this house is our bedroom, since right now it serves as our little apartment.
Boo! Not sure what your usual relationship is like with him, but I've found that being open about my cycle has helped us be on the same page. Talking with him about where you are and being direct might help. Sometimes those men don't pick up on our subtle and even not so subtle signals. A text or whisper of "I want your (whatever you call your man's tool) inside of me tonight" might get the message across. If he snores that night I'd wake his ass up!
Not sure if you were looking for help, feel free to pass it up if you weren't.
Where there is love, there is life.

Rants/raves/chart stalks? I got a positive opk today!! We have not had sex in a week so I need to get on it..a lot.. Went to a surprise 30th bday last night and had so much fun, while there I was in the bathroom and checked my cm bed had tons and tons of Ewcm. It made me happy.
GTKY: what's your favorite room in your house and why? Hmm our kitchen because it's the only room totally renovated
ME: 29 DH:29 TTC #1 since September 2013 BFP Aug 27 2014, EDD- May 9 2015 - MMC Oct 16 2014
What are you doing? Temp, PNV, HIO, will start OPK next week maybe, trying to stay healthy and positive
Rants/raves/chart stalks? I guess I'll start OPK on cycle day 10 so I don't miss O day, just in case, even though I'm regularly O-ing CD 19-21...you're regular until you're not, right?
GTKY: what's your favorite room in your house and why? The kitchen; it's amazing and custom, and food comes from it, so I love it.
@TravelingCouple I'm so sorry about Riley. *hugs* hope this is your take home baby cycle!
@Ally1986 I hope the CH are wrong for you! That tricky FF, you never know what you're gonna get!
@ally1986 It looks like it could be right, but could something else have caused the increase in temp? I see open circles, were you temping later than usual or drinking or anything?
Cycle: When CD 1 hits it will be #4.
CD: 25. I'm 14 DPO and getting BFN's and spotting, so just waiting for AF to show. It made me too sad to stay on 2ww, so hopefully you ladies don't mind me hanging out here! I seem to have a 16 day LP, so not expecting my period till Tuesday.
What are you doing? Just waiting. Will start the whole gamut again (temping, OPK's, water/tea, preseed and sex) after AF comes and goes.
Rants/raves/chart stalks? Feeling let down after a lot of hope this cycle.
GTKY: what's your favorite room in your house and why? My kitchen for sure. I like to cook, and we have a great kitchen for that. It's also a nice place to gather when people are here visiting, seems like we always gravitate to it! I'm looking for a new dishwasher at the moment, if anyone has recommendations let me know .
While I say I started temping 2 years ago, I've really just been recording the data and not worrying too much if it didn't make sense. Now that TTC is in the near future, I'm trying to understand it all a bit more.
What are you doing? temping, OPK's, FF, PNV, green tea-when I remeber.
Rants/raves/chart stalks? Nope.
GTKY: what's your favorite room in your house and why? My living room. We just bought our house this summer, and it has required a LOT of work-more than we planned. This room is the first one to get the way that I want. I just looks really cheerful, which I like.
@TravelingCouple-I'm so sorry for your loss, I hope that you are able to have a little bundle to bring you joy and healing very soon.
What are you doing? Honestly, not much this cycle. Temping and checking CM/CP. Going to buy some wondfo opks.
Rants/raves/chart stalks? This is my first cycle off bcp so my temps have been everywhere. They are finally starting to level out, as are my moods, so I think maybe my hormones are taking a chill pill lol. I just want to know if I'm ovulating or not (I know not likely yet) .
GTKY: what's your favorite room in your house and why? My living room because that's where all the family time is spent.

Rants/raves/chart stalks? O should be coming soon...I had a ton of EWCM yesterday so I am hoping that continues.
GTKY: what's your favorite room in your house and why? The living room! We spend most of our time there as a family so it makes me happy. I just wish we could keep it cleaner.
@TravelingCouple so very sorry for your loss Kudos for staying positive through it all and you never know what is coming next!
Dec 2014 May Siggy Challenge - Favorite movie/TV Mom
Update on our house hunting situation: We found a house this morning that we LOVED! We are making an offer today. It isn't on the market yet, but apparently people are coming to look at it next week, so now I'm really anxious because I WANT it. Please send good vibes this way!
What are you doing? Tonight will be my last day of Provera. I'm not sure who's more excited, my husband or I. Testing with RE about anovulatory cycles next cycle.
Rants/raves/chart stalks? Fucking Provera. I can't tell if I'm crazy, or if it's just the Provera. I'll hold it together for a few days, and then totally melt down. I'm assuming the circumstances of needing Provera are part of it.
GTKY: what's your favorite room in your house and why?
It's a 3-way tie between the great room, the kitchen, and the master bathroom. I like to hang out in the great room the most, but the kitchen and master bath I like best in terms of style and decorations.

Rants/raves/chart stalks? Coming off BC I know that cycles can be wacky...I'm hoping that mine is wacky enough to O next week when I see DH!
GTKY: what's your favorite room in your house and why?My living room- I I have a big window with a spectacular mountain view, and it's so comfy/cozy I'm working on making it all pinterest-y with unique decor, photos, etc.
What are you doing? Temping, charting, trying to get familiar with checking CM, preseed, OPK (Wondfos and CBE)
Rants/raves/chart stalks? I stopped getting periods when I was 17 (PCOS dx, but no cysts, no major symptoms besides weight and no periods). I have been on BC since I was 18 pretty much, and worried I'd go off BCP and nothing would happen. Not sure if I am ovulating or not yet as I haven't been charting very long, but I did have a normal period last cycle (29 day cycle) after crazy phantom symptoms after CD10, and then I got a smiley on a CBE OPK a couple of days ago, so I'm hopeful my body isn't completely messed up.
GTKY: what's your favorite room in your house and why? Our living room, I love sitting in my favorite spot on the couch under my fleece blanket sipping coffee. It is how I spend most of my mornings.
Me: 30, PCOS-non IR, Annovulatory; DH: 31, SA normal
Testing Completed! HSG Clear, Ovarian Reserve score 17, Elevated Testosterone, everything else normal so far
Sorry about the format. It doesn't seem to look pretty when I'm on my iPad.
Cycle: 8
CD: 3
What are you doing? Just temping right now. But OPKs and preseed( trying it for the first time this cycle!)
Rants/raves/chart stalks? Drank too much last night and feel like poo. Got in a drunk argument with DH, and it was all just stupid. I didn't have a drink in all of January until yesterday. A bit disappointed in myself!
GTKY: what's your favorite room in your house and why? My bathroom. It's a tiny bathroom, but it is all mine. I love keeping it clean and using my essential oils to make it smell like a spa. (DH has a separate bathroom)
@TravelingCouple I am so sorry for your loss. I truly can't imagine.
Married 2009.
2012-2014 charting and temping...
BFP 3/4/2014 EDD: 11/10/14
What are you doing? PNV, temping, charting, getting ready to start OPKs in a couple days
Rants/raves/chart stalks? Just realizing just how different I feel off BCP. Now that it's been 4 months off it, it doesn't seem like a fluke that I have more energy, higher sex drive, a little less moody, etc. It's a good thing, most of the time--great sex last night, but a huge fight today.
GTKY: what's your favorite room in your house and why? Bedroom. It's all greys and blues, with white curtains and dark furniture. It's so soothing, I absolutely love it!
What are you doing? PNV, HIO, acupuncture, increased water, OPK, checking CM, temping
Rants/raves/chart stalks? Going to O any day now. I got +OPKs yesterday and this morning, so we're HIO ALOT! I also started acupuncture today, she focused on my ovaries today and was really excited to hear that I would be ovulating soon, so we'll see.I'm seeing her for. Otherwise, it's been a normal cycle.
GTKY: what's your favorite room in your house and why? my living room -- it's where I bump, watch tv, and it's soooo comfy!
@TravelingCouple I'm so sorry for your loss. I know that is never an easy thing.
Cycle: 8
CD: 11
What are you doing? Prenatals, EOD sex, eating healthy, charting
Rants/raves/chart stalks? My chart seems to be all over the place. It's my first cycle charting, so I'm still figuring things out, and I think I still have time before I O...my cycles are generally around 35 days, but it's still frustrating to not know if what I'm seeing is normal or not.
GTKY: what's your favorite room in your house and why? I LOVE my front room. We have a balcony with our apartment with a sliding glass door, and I like to have the blinds open and sit on the couch while I'm bumping so I can enjoy the sunlight. I also have a lot of cute refinished furniture from garage sales in my front room.
What are you doing? Temping, exercising, eating better, staying hydrated.
Rants/raves/chart stalks? @katietopaz I feel the same way. I got on BCP because I had bad periods. I was nervous to come off of it because I assumed the bad periods would return, but they are a lot better now. Everything just seems better...energy, sex drive, mood. The only thing that's worse is my acne, but I found a good facial soap that's working well.
GTKY: what's your favorite room in your house and why? We just put in a new front door that lets so much more light into our living room, so that's my favorite space right now. It feels so open and welcoming!

Rants/raves/chart stalks? CD 1 is a bitch, and what on earth is my body doing? My LP was randomly 2-3 days longer than usual, and I've had zero PMS. I barely spotted. It was a mind fuck.
GTKY: what's your favorite room in your house and why? We live in a loft, so it's all one room, except the bathroom. However, I love my little desk nook, and my kitchen. But our whole little loft is cozy and homey, and I love it.

What are you doing? bbt, opk, FF.
Rants/raves/chart stalks? Coming off BC I know that cycles can be wacky...I'm hoping that mine is wacky enough to O next week when I see DH!
GTKY: what's your favorite room in your house and why?My living room- I I have a big window with a spectacular mountain view, and it's so comfy/cozy
@TravelingCouple I'm so sad for you. Hugs.
CD: 14
What are you doing? Temping, charting, trying to get familiar with checking CM, preseed, OPK (Wondfos and CBE)
Rants/raves/chart stalks? I stopped getting periods when I was 17 (PCOS dx, but no cysts, no major symptoms besides weight and no periods). I have been on BC since I was 18 pretty much, and worried I'd go off BCP and nothing would happen. Not sure if I am ovulating or not yet as I haven't been charting very long, but I did have a normal period last cycle (29 day cycle) after crazy phantom symptoms after CD10, and then I got a smiley on a CBE OPK a couple of days ago, so I'm hopeful my body isn't completely messed up.
GTKY: what's your favorite room in your house and why? Our living room, I love sitting in my favorite spot on the couch under my fleece blanket sipping coffee. It is how I spend most of my mornings.

What are you doing? PNV, temping, charting, getting ready to start OPKs in a couple days
Rants/raves/chart stalks? Just realizing just how different I feel off BCP. Now that it's been 4 months off it, it doesn't seem like a fluke that I have more energy, higher sex drive, a little less moody, etc. It's a good thing, most of the time--great sex last night, but a huge fight today.
GTKY: what's your favorite room in your house and why? Bedroom. It's all greys and blues, with white curtains and dark furniture. It's so soothing, I absolutely love it!
CD: 20
What are you doing? PNV, HIO, acupuncture, increased water, OPK, checking CM, temping
Rants/raves/chart stalks? Going to O any day now. I got +OPKs yesterday and this morning, so we're HIO ALOT! I also started acupuncture today, she focused on my ovaries today and was really excited to hear that I would be ovulating soon, so we'll see.I'm seeing her for. Otherwise, it's been a normal cycle.
GTKY: what's your favorite room in your house and why? my living room -- it's where I bump, watch tv, and it's soooo comfy!
CD: 11
What are you doing? Prenatals, EOD sex, eating healthy, charting
Rants/raves/chart stalks? My chart seems to be all over the place. It's my first cycle charting, so I'm still figuring things out, and I think I still have time before I O...my cycles are generally around 35 days, but it's still frustrating to not know if what I'm seeing is normal or not.
GTKY: what's your favorite room in your house and why? I LOVE my front room. We have a balcony with our apartment with a sliding glass door, and I like to have the blinds open and sit on the couch while I'm bumping so I can enjoy the sunlight. I also have a lot of cute refinished furniture from garage sales in my front room.
Cycle: 4
CD: 12
What are you doing? Temping, exercising, eating better, staying hydrated.
Rants/raves/chart stalks? @katietopaz I feel the same way. I got on BCP because I had bad periods. I was nervous to come off of it because I assumed the bad periods would return, but they are a lot better now. Everything just seems better...energy, sex drive, mood. The only thing that's worse is my acne, but I found a good facial soap that's working well.
GTKY: what's your favorite room in your house and why? We just put in a new front door that lets so much more light into our living room, so that's my favorite space right now. It feels so open and welcoming!
