What are you doing to get KU?: EOD HIO, Temping, Green tea
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks?: I don't think I've O'ed I just had hopes it would be before CD25 this time, and no dice (I don't think). However, I got a lot of EWCM this morning and the oddest OPK. The control line was pretty dark eventually, but the rest was a big pink smear. I dipped two different ones and same result (Wondofos). Should I assume this was a bad batch? All others I've done in the batch have had very faint test lines, and this looked like if all the dye made it to a line it would be positive. Help?

What are you doing to get KU?: started opks and CBE digital ovulation kit today, temping, Pom juice and green tea, checking cm, and joined a gym to exercise.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks?: I'm going pretty strong with working out and changed my calorie intake to try to lose about 10 pounds. Has anyone noticed if working out has changed your cycle or ovulation? Just curious of others experiences.
GTKY: What celebrity (if any) have people told you looks like you? No one I can think of.
Rants etc… My periods have gotten ridiculously heavy. I don't know if that is something to worry about, but since DD was born 3 years ago, they've gotten to be increasingly worse.
What are you doing to get KU?: The usual. Temping, OPK's.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks?: Yeah, I have cramps from HELL today.
GTKY: What celebrity (if any) have people told you looks like you? Nicole Scherzinger. And I look nothing like her, really. I think I've gotten it a few times because she's from Hawaii and we have similar hair. Otherwise, I look nothing like her and think peeps need new glasses!

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks?: So, as of yesterday I had a chemical pregnancy. I got a BFP on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday night (betas on Monday were only 11). BFN yesterday morning and starting bright red spotting (previously I had been spotting brown) - so I cancelled my blood draw and am going to see the doc next week. I still haven't started my usual "flow" if that makes sense, it's just really very sporadic and light. Anyone who has had a chemical pregnancy know how long I can expect to wait for AF to really come? The nurse told me to expect a period in 2-4 weeks, but I think she means my next period, right? Anyone?
GTKY: What celebrity (if any) have people told you looks like you? Ugh, I've been told Angelica Huston (in her younger years)....wtf?? lol. I think it's my nose...I have quite the nose on me.

@Diordra I'm no expert, but it looks exactly like your O pattern from your last chart. I'm losing faith in OPKs anyway, so it looks like you probably O'ed to me!
@katie0919 when I had my CP a couple of weeks ago, if I didn't have such a heavy flow they said it could take up to 2-4 weeks to see a predominant flow. That just means that everything has passed and you can restart. If your bleeding was enough to fill a pad or tampon that could have been your period. Keep tracking your cycle so you can get an idea of when that might be. Sorry for the CP. Hugs

Sorry for your loss. I can't really help as I didn't know I had a cp until I started full flow and normal Pre-O temps 1 1/2 weeks after BFP. I had a BFN 2 days later when it stopped. My cycle regulated quickly with just slightly delayed O the next cycle.
What are you doing to get KU?: HIO EOD, PNV, temping
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks?: FF says I O'd on CD10, but I have alot of trouble believing that. I usually feel it and it doesnt usually happen until CD 25-28. So I geuss we will see what happens. I just ordered some OPT's (Wondofo's). I hope that helps me get things figured out. There's been alot of negative events happening in our lives the last couple of months, so I feel like we are due some positive.
GTKY: What celebrity (if any) have people told you looks like you? A long way back I was told that I resemble Meg Ryan, but thats the only one I remember.

MaddScientistLinnyDan12Gargita that does help, thank you! I am 15 DPO now and it's still just lighter than a period, so I'm hoping it will be normal flow in a day or so.

Spoke to the Dr office today as they have DH's results back. We're going in tonight to hear results as they wouldn't tell me over the phone, so I am pretty much freaking out.
@Diordra your chart stumps me. Maybe today is O day if you get another jump that stays elevated?
What are you doing to get KU?: Temping, Charting, CM, OPKs, RE
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks?: DH has been sick so all of his tossing/turning has been screwing my sleep schedule up. I'm trying not to get discouraged with this cycle.. I had such a pretty chart last time, and I'd like to O again. lol - I hope I can still get some answers when I put more temps in. GTKY: What celebrity (if any) have people told you looks like you? Erm.. I don't think I have ever been told that I look like a celebrity.
What are you doing to get KU?: Temping, PNVs, green tea
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks?: This is my first cycle off BC, so who knows when I will O. Today is my second day of EWCM, so I'm hopeful. I just need my temps to cooperate! GTKY: What celebrity (if any) have people told you looks like you? When I was a kid, I looked exactly like Punky Brewster. Now people say I look like Neve Campbell.
What are you doing to get KU?: PNV, starting OPKs and EOD tomorrow.

GTKY: What celebrity (if any) have people told you looks like you? I have been told Alyson Hannigan by several people.
What are you doing to get KU?: Sex ED starting tomorrow, PNVs + vitD3, OPKs starting tomorrow, might start temping again. DH is taking L-carnitine and CoQ10.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks?: The week of testing is over. DH's SA results came back normal except for morphology at 3% and they recommended he start taking above listed supplements to see if the morphology improves. My HSG was perfectly normal. The RE said our next step would be monitored clomid + IUI. DH and I talked about it and we are going to try taking our vitamin supplements and keep doing the sex routine for a couple months before we start the procedure route. Although I really want to get pregnant sooner rather than later since DD is growing up quickly (I wanted the child gap to be 3 years, now looking at 5-6 years) I am a planner and I like to save so waiting for a few months makes me more comfortable.

GTKY: What celebrity (if any) have people told you looks like you? I've been told I look like Zooey Deschanel, but it's just the bangs. And the glasses. And the fact that Jessica Day and I have a lot in common.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks?: none, I just hate being on my period. Whose idea was it for women to bleed out of their vaginas? They should be fired.
I was thinking today what a terrible way to tell someone they're not pregnant. "No baby, and how about bleeding from your vag, cramps, zits, and raging hormones on top of it!" It should be "No baby, but here, you lost 5 lbs, your hair never looked better, and here's some happy hormones!"
What are you doing to get KU?: PNVs, drinking more water, OPKs starting next week
