Rants/raves/chart stalks? Eh, I didn't temp Sat,, Sun., or this morning because I drank in the evenings and also this morning I was burning up thanks to my sweater type lounge pants, so I have no idea what's going on....and I haven't really had any CM yet. I usually O between day 17-19 but idk, I'm just not really feelin' it this month. I may throw in the towel this month and start over next month.
GTKY: What color are you eyes? Do you wish they were a different color? Brown. I have dark brown hair and always wished I had blue or green eyes!

What are you doing? Green tea, temping, checking cm, opks and CBE digital ovulation tests starting yesterday, preseed and baby asprin
Rants/raves/chart stalks? I had gobs of EWCM yesterday, which is really early for me, so I used the CBE digital this morning and got an empty circle, so maybe I just had random (large) amounts if EWCM? We HIO yesterday just in case and now I'll keep doing opks and digital. I usually O around CD 17, so we'll see. My repeat loss blood tests are back but the Dr. hasn't reviewed them yet. The nurse said he'll review tomorrow.
GTKY: What color are you eyes? Do you wish they were a different color? Mine are blue and I love them.
@doubleup8 I thought they were supposed to dry you up as well. I'm taking alka seltzer cold and flu. It has a decongestant in it, among other medicines.

@kitty1215- not sure isometimes all the preseed and semen hang out for a while and leave your system slowly- mimicking ewcm- at least for me anyway. @violetskies and luckypenny1231 hugs to you both and FX for a sticky baby in the very near future. Cycle: 7
CD: 13
What are you doing? Pom juice +the whole shebang
Rants/raves/chart stalks? Feeling like the opks are not getting darker and that it was darker at cd 8 when i started pos-which would be really crazy early to have gotten a positive. Annoyed I guess, but I've got time.
GTKY: What color are you eyes? Do you wish they were a different color? Brown- always wished they were blue with my dark brown hair.

hmmm, I don't know. I would say that decongestant should have dried you out. FX it's a sign of good things to come!

BFP: 3/14/2014, CP 3/17/2014 6/13/14 - Began O & 7 DPO bloodwork
@irishcurls I think my cycles are different post BCP too - but it isn't consistent. I never know what I'm going to get.
@Ally1986 Sorry about hubby not cooperating. Good luck for the next few days!
@trinitrotoluene I used to want blue eyes too, now I'm happy with the green ones I have
@katietopaz, with your range of previous O days, you might want to start after CD10 so you don't miss any early O's
@kristyn831 I have teenage breakouts now too. My face hates me around O and shark week. I think you have a good plan for starting your OPK. My O days range from 19-23 and I started mine on CD 15 just in case.
@katnhiding I had cramps all last cycle. Sorry you are too!
TTC #1 since June 2013
April 2014: Diagnosed with PCOS and Hypothyroidism
@Melanieadam0707, I would usually assume that, but we hadn't used any preseed this cycle or HIO in about 5 days before seeing the EWCM. Hoping it means O is coming soon.
What are you doing? Going to start temping tomorrow morning, green tea, pom juice, water, PNV, trying robitussin probably starting on Friday and start EOD or ED sex if we can handle it on Thursday or Friday for a CD 18 probable O date.
Rants/raves/chart stalks? So much waiting... I saw two gender reveal cakes on Facebook today. Feeling a little low right now, but I bet an actual piece of cake would fix my mood...
GTKY: What color are you eyes? Do you wish they were a different color? They are a grey-blue. I like them, but wish they were a little bit brighter blue.
Married and started TTC in July 2013 "Diagnosed" with unexplained infertility Oct 2014 IUI #1: 100mg clomid/HCG trigger/2 mature follicles/18mil post wash sperm count: BFP!!!

Cycle: uh...6? yeah, 6.
CD: 15
What are you doing? started sex on cd13, plan to do eod or etd until after o is confirmed. temping.
Rants/raves/chart stalks? i was a textbook 27/28 day cycle for the last 7 years, then last two cycles were 32 and 37 days, so wtf God? also had moving crosshairs last cycle, so sex will continue until o is really confirmed.
GTKY: What color are you eyes? Do you wish they were a different color? blue. i get compliments often, but sometimes i wish they were more interesting like green or grey.
What are you doing? PNV, extra water, OPKs, temping/charting
Rants/raves/chart stalks? This has been the worst temping month ever. I had a fever for 3 days so temps are all weird. I think I may have O'd yesterday but still waiting to see if temps confirm on FF. All my temps this month have been off because of my fever
GTKY: What color are you eyes? Do you wish they were a different color? They are a hazel color but my pupils are not round, they look like a cat's. I wouldn't change them!

Rants/raves/chart stalks? BOO CD 1. Cramping like crazy. A little disappointed. But my predicted FW falls over My Bday/Valentine's Weekend. So that should be fun. Ha. Trying to take the approach that I am not pregnant till proven otherwise.. I don't want to get my hopes up each month.
GTKY: What color are you eyes? Do you wish they were a different color? My eyes are brown. I don't wish they were different. H has hazel/green eyes.. I always say I hope our child gets those, but nothing is wrong with brown

Rants/raves/chart stalks? Got another positive OPK today and a crazy temp dip, but I'm also using a regular thermometer after American Airlines delayed by BBT from getting back with me for a couple of days. So I just have to wait this out and see if tomorrow brings the expected spike or not.
GTKY: What color are you eyes? Do you wish they were a different color? Hazel. I do like my eyes , but I've always been bitter that literally my entire family has blue eyes except me. My brother even married a blue eyed girl and I married a blue eyed man. Geez.
