@penguindash I am trying only OPk's this cycle because my sleeping sucks because of DD. Pretty sure I never get 3 hours straight and wouldn't be able to predict when that would be anyways. I guess the only problem with not temping is that you can't actually confirm that you ovulated because opks just tell you that you are gearing up to ovulate. If I get a BFP in the next few days, then I will know if only opks worked for me. Haha! Good luck!
I feel the same way! Either way, both temps were above my coverline...so I guess it doesn't really matter. I never got positive OPK's this month either so my body is just all kinds of pissing me off this month. Uncooperative. I agree @HisGirlFriday929 your chart is soooo pretty! Fingers crossed for you!!!
@penguindash- I also struggle with insomnia. Its either hours to fall asleep or I fall asleep within an hour or so of laying down but wake up every hour all night. I am temping, and I do my best to get as close as I can to the 3 hours of consecutive sleep mark that they recommend. (some nights I only get 2.5 or so) I always mark sleep deprived in FF so that it knows. So far, it hasn't been an issue for my chart. Got my solid CH's and my temps are looking good.
Testing Plans: already started... Maybe possibly a super squinter today, but I am also notorious for line eye! I really should just throw it away so I can stop analyzing it every time I go to the bathroom! Definitely nothing that would show up on a pic!
Symptoms/Rants/Chart Stalks: heartburn 2 nights ago and a headache last night, haha
GTKY: What is your favorite meal to cook? I really get tired of cooking dinner every single night! So my favorite is when I cook something big and then we can have it for leftovers the next night and I get a day off cooking! Haha!
Testing Plans: Started Saturday, all BFN. If I were a smart individual, I would just stop.
Symptoms/Rants/Chart Stalks: My cramps are out of control. I really hope this is just because I'm only a couple of month out from stopping BC, because if this becomes a norm of having cramps for 2 weeks, I'm gonna lose my mind.
GTKY: What is your favorite meal to cook? Fried Chicken, it is a lot of work, but I love it. I love having grown up in the South.
I have bulk wondfo and I feel like I can test whenever I want and I get excited then get my BFN and think to myself "ok I won't test again till XX day" then the next morning I'm testing, UGH!
@kathleenrh I already tested again today after I posted this. I'm only 10dpo, but I'm ready to cry. I also have wondfos, but then I start wondering if maybe I'll get a squinter on a FRER. My brain is totally irrational today, I'm gonna have to get out of the house with my hubby and go shopping to distract myself (good idea, right?!)
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
@mrskbuck - I am so sorry, I know that is hard @Pintobean39 - I am sorry things are so hard right now. Hugs @penguindash - I am nursing a toddler so I am up at all times of the night, I always just temp after 3 consecutive hours like the other ladies here have said. I get lots of open circles, I hate it @Hisgirlfriday929 - My fingers are crossed for you and your pretty chart!
Cycle/Month: 1/4
CD/DPO: 25/8
Timing: Pretty great -4,-2,-1,0
Testing
Plans: I only have my digis so I am still planning to hold out to 10dpo. I almost bought some cheapies today, but I refrained. I doubt I will be willing to waste a digi at 9dpo, but you never know with me.
Symptoms/Rants/Chart
Stalks: I finally got around to sharing my chart. It goes in my siggy next, but this is my first month really using FF and I am a slow learner. I was keeping my cool, just a lot of fatigue and cramping (which was not getting me too excited) but then my temp dipped today. If it goes up tomorrow I might lose my cool...It is hard since this is my first 2ww to know what is normal for me and what isn't.
GTKY: What is your favorite
meal to cook? Chili and cornbread!
@penguindash I am totally making that soup this week!
@kibylou GL with your squinter!! Hope to see a BFP from you tomorrow!
@Brewgirl1980 It's the timing of when you had sex v. when you ovulated. Some people just say "good' or "high" "not great" timing or you can list the days you had sex--- -4 is 4 days before you ovulated, etc.
Symptoms/Rants/Chart Stalks: Uber hungry all the time. Gassy. My boobs might be a little heavy, but I'm probably just over-analyzing. I've woken up with a stuffy nose the last 5 days, but thankfully it goes away as soon as I get in the shower. Random bouts of dizziness/nausea. Sleepiness. A constant urge to pee on things.
@HisGirlFriday929 can you throw your link out there so I can see what a pretty chart looks like? I'm mobile but the suspense of seeing your chart is killing me.

@HisGirlFriday929 thanks! I feel better now. Although now I'm more discouraged about my own chart since it doesn't look like that. Oh well, time will tell for us all.

Well, I've started feeling AF cramps. I'm still not due for another 10 days or so but I usually start AF cramping around now. Boo for that. I also have the blue veins everywhere which I always get when AF is creepin'....
However, I am excited to see what happens with some of these pretty charts!
@BabyCowbell - I'm sure people have gotten their BFPs on the ugliest charts imaginable . Plus, your temp is high this morning!! I am concerned, however, that you don't like olives. Not even black ones? Eaten off your fingertips??
@HisGirlFriday929 I was excited about my high temp but thought it might just have been my Sunday night wine. Although the low on Sunday morning I naturally attributed to my Saturday night wine induced mouth breathing. Being a wine-o really complicates this whole business.
I might like olives off of Ryan Gosling's fingers, but that's about it
