Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc.:Well I slept okay last night. Got up at 3 to fix dd some more milk then went back to bed and got up at 6:34 and temped then. 98.9.... Not sure If this is a temp that I can finally keep. Last two days I had to discard them. But with today's temp ff is telling me that I probably O'd on cd12. But I'm just going to hang out in this thread till it gives me a solid ch instead of a slashed one if that is okay with everyone.
GTKY: Got any good drunk stories? Spill your beans.... YES, Well I don't know if it is a good one. My cousin came over with some black cherry rum or liqueur? Not sure which but anyways I was underage and obviously didn't know how to drink so I took the bottle and started chugging straight from the liqueur bottle like you would chug a beer. YEP I walked out of my room.... down the hallway.... looked into the next bedroom where everyone was and the next thing I know they was lifting me off of the ground. I HAD TOTALLY FALLEN OVER and didn't realize it. & of course I was sooo SICK! Yuck. Here my dad and cousin had me leaned over the porch railings outside and when I finally made it back inside I slept in the bathroom floor for not 1 but 2 days!!! (The next day afterwards my dad thought it would be okay to bring me some taco bell... umm no thank you, gross)
What you're doing to get KU: temping, cm, pnv, metformin, preseed, lots of sex
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks/Etc: Blah
GYKY: Got any good drunk stories? Spill your beans... Nothing crazy. One time when i was still underage I passed out in my moms front yard when she wasn't home, around midnight. My Bf at the time had also gone streaking and the neighbor ratted us out. Oops.
ETA to clarify bf and his friend ran naked down the street. Bf didn't streak by himself. Not that it matters.

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc.: Ugh.. opks are still negative DH and I've been really trying..hopefully soon.
GTKY: Got any good drunk stories? Spill your beans.... umm how about that time I drank too much wine and had to puke on the commuter train. I had a plastic bag with me that held my work outfit for the day.. it was my favorite dress... but it had to be sacrificed.
@GrahamSchneider That's awful about your dress, I'm cringing just thinking about it.

What are you doing to get KU: temping, tracking CM, OPKs, ED sex since getting positive OPK.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I might have O'ed two days ago, but I'm not moving over to 2WW until I get crosshairs because I'm not convinced. My two higher temps aren't that high, and today was pretty much the same temp as yesterday, rather than higher, so I'm just going to wait and see.
GTKY - Any good drunk stories: I have a lot of stupid drunken stories from college... One kinda tame one was when I was a freshman, I went to a small party at someone's house that I didn't really know, so I wanted to BYOB. I filled an empty water bottle with vodka and then proceeded to drink the entire thing in the first 30 minutes we were there. So stupid. I ended up passing out in a random guy's bed (alone, I was the weird girl that got stupid drunk at like 8:30pm), and puked ALL over it while sleeping. I ended up buying him a new comforter and never showed my face there again. Yuck.

Once, coming home from a business trip, my dad picked DH and I up from the airport. I had a ridiculous hangover from the night before. I hoped he wouldn't notice because I didn't want a lecture (they're not drinking fans). I thought I looked pretty good and would be fine. Sure enough, first words out of his mouth, "Good God, how much did you drink last night?!" Yeah, he noticed.

What you're doing to get KU: pnv, EOD, temping, opk, preseed
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc.: Okay I have some questions and hopefully somebody will tell me if I screwed up.
1. H decided to wake me up this morning with something other then his penis so when that was done while in the middle of sex I had this thought that silva kills sperm. So in mid change I put some preseed in. Mistake or help?
2. Because he woke me up at 5:30 he throw off my temp time and I was not able to vaginally temp. I tried to go back to sleep but I couldn't. So after laying there for an hour tossing and turning I put the thermometer in and it read 98.0. I figure this temp is null and void due to it being taken after sex. So now I don't know if my temp stayed high or dropped to show any sign of ovulation. Will I still be able to catch a temp change if I don't temp today.
GTKY: Got any good drunk stories? Spill your beans....
My first weekend in college they had a back to school party and we all met up in the RA dorm room. I was the new kid but I know a few people. The had this garbage can full of liquor. They were pouring everything in the can (brown, clear, juice) everything. So me trying to be a big girl I thought I could keep up with everybody. I had like three full cups of the mixed liquor and we went to the party. Needless to say I had to get carried out of the party by two fraternity brothers who I vaguely remember saying that they would take me home, but the RA had my back and I ended up on her couch. I do remember my head being in a garbage can that was strategically placed by the couch. I never got that drunk again.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc.: I think I am finally ovulating! I got my very first blazingly positive OPK yesterday, and now my tits feel like they're gonna fall off, they are so sore! Yay! (I guess).
GTKY: Got any good drunk stories? Spill your beans...
Ahem, well uh.... I may or may not have had a boyfriend who was pretty terrible in the sack, and couldn't figure out oral to save his soul. He dumped me for the stupidest shit in the universe, and I was a liiiitle bitter.
So I went out, got drunk, and decided that if men were so damned lost down there, I would put an instruction manual on it! The tattoo parlor should have turned my drunk ass away, but instead broke out a chinese dictionary and helped me pick out symbols for 'lick' 'suck' and 'to hold in the mouth'.
Best (only)drunk tattoo I've ever gotten! My doc gets a kick out of it every time.
What you're doing to get KU: The usual. My temp dropped this morning so I'm FXing so hard that I OVULATE!
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc.: Nothing yet
GTKY: Got any good drunk stories? Spill your beans.... I passed out on the sidewalk once and had to be carried home. I also crashed a frat party once (I'm not in a sorority). I'm all lame now, I don't party anymore.
TTGP since September 2013. All cycles were annovulatory due to Depo.

What you're doing to get KU: Sex, BBT, more sex...
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc.: This is my first cycle full on temping and it seems like my temp is higher than it ever normally is. Usually when I randomly temp it's about 96.75, but this entire cycle it's been 97 or higher.

Oh sooo many. My first holiday party with my current job ended in me literally crawling up my stairs on my face because if I lifted my head off the ground I thought I was going to spin so much that I would die. It was not a fun night. I think that is the only day I've ever been drunk and had a hangover the next day.

In college we would drive something like 14 hours to Hilton Head Island every Memorial Day Weekend (I was on quarters, so we didn't get out until mid-June). Anyway, we were having a house party in the very large condo we rented for our 5-day stay in Hilton Head. The house party followed a long day of drinking on the beach, so the 10 of us staying in the condo decided that in order to get into our party, you would have to leave your pants at the door - you had to hang your pants on the pelican statue at the front door. The funny thing is that everyone who came actually took their pants off. It was our first No Pants party. We tried to do the same thing again on the last weekend of our senior year, but it wasn't nearly as good or as fun. I still can't get over that everyone who came in took their pants off, like it was no big deal.
Side note: it's not quite as bad as it sounds because pretty much all of the girls were wearing boy shorts underwear. Now I see girls wearing boyshorts as clothing.
@sugahcookie01 -- I usually see a day or two of "gearing up" before my first positive OPK. Fingers crossed you get a positive in the next day or two! I'm glad that you are feeling better about things today.
Also, I didn't realize this was your first month of triyng. Finger crossed for you this cycle is it!
What you're doing to get KU: charting and watching CM. Sometimes opk.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc.: I hate trying to decide when to hio! I usually O around day 14-15. But after 2 losses my O days have been later the past couple cycles (16-22) anyway, I don't want to wear DH out if I'm not going to O soon. And my opk was negative today. But I have an insane amount of ewcm today. That makes me think O may be close? Gah! To hio or not?!
GTKY: Got any good drunk stories? Spill your beans.... One time my DH locked himself outside in the middle of the night butt ass naked. Thankfully for the neighbors there was a privacy fence in the yard.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc.: Can't believe we're in month 12. Really thought this would happen on it's own, and now it's seeming more and more like we're going to need help. I'll admit that our timing hasn't been as good as I'd like every month due to DH's schedule, but still qualified as "good" per FF (never had "high" timing).
GTKY: Got any good drunk stories? Spill your beans… I can't think of any right now, although I know I've got a few. Will update if I can think of a good one.
@mrswirt2013 - Due to my DH's schedule, he usually has to wake me up in the morning during my FW, too. FF has been able to detect O even with missing temps due to the OPKs, and CM I documented. You should be able to, too!

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc.: I slept like a log last night and then fumbled around too much looking for my thermometer on the bed. I thought that would make my temp go up but it actually went down, so idk.
GTKY: Got any good drunk stories? Spill your beans.... Last year my SO was deployed to Afghanistan, the weekend before he came home on R&R I went out and got stuuuuuupid drunk. I hadn't eaten and I'm always really bad at knowing my limits, mostly because my limit is somewhere in the middle of a bottle, I go from buzzed to trashed in one drink even my friends are shocked. Anyway, so here I am completely wasted, falling down everywhere. I go outside to puke and as I'm puking I proceed to pee my pants. Yeah, I'm classy as fuck.
What you're doing to get KU: temping, prenatals, green tea. And I'm going to try to be good about actually eating healthy and exercising, but we'll see. The end of the semester can be a bit crazy,
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc.: Nothing really.

Hmm...I was in Japan for New Years one year and we all went out and got pretty hammered. The little brother of my BF at the time was with us. He was 19, so legal there and a bit too enthusiastic about being able to drink in the bar. He could barely walk when we left. But New Years isn't a boozy holiday there, more of a family thing, so we were getting some disapproving looks on the subway.

What you're doing to get KU: BBT, CM, OPK, PNV, EOD
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc.: My temps seem a little more stable..yay! My OPKs are also starting to get darker. I don't really know what to expect, this being my first cycle temping and all. My cycle ranges from 23 to 29 days, so I am hoping the temps give me a clearer sign on when I ovulate. One question, I set my alarm for 6:50am every morning and temp right away. However, every other morning or so, I randomly wake up at between 3am and 5am. Sometimes more than once. I've never been a solid sleeper. When I wake up at 5 or later, I temp then, but then the next morning I may not wake till my alarm. What's more important, same time everyday or 3 hours? I could always go back to sleep and wait to temp for my alarm.

I have too too many. I was quite the partier in my early twenties (still am sometimes). I was living up the bartender life! Well, when I was 20 years old I worked on a cruise ship. We were in port on Kauai and decided to enjoy an evening at the club. I ended up puking over the side rail of the balcony. I was so drunk, I went to the bathroom, washed my face and shirt, then hit the dance floor for a couple more hours while still drinking! Per Coast Guard regulation, crew members can't board the ship intoxicated, so a friend and I had the cabbie drop us off at a beach nearby to sober up. I woke up the next morning face first in the sand 20 min before my shift! Running to work while extremely hungover is not fun. Frequently running from the service floor to throw up all day was even less fun.
What you're doing to get KU: PNV, bbt, opk, preseed, acupuncture
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc.: Haven't received a positive opk yet, so maybe acupuncture is helping.
GTKY: Got any good drunk stories? Spill your beans.... I got lost in a friends bathroom. I didn't turn the light on and when I was done using the restroom I couldn't find the door. I started clawing at things like a wild animal and ripped their toothbrush holder off the wall. Finally someone heard me and came to my rescue
I have a question. I just started CD1 again. That makes three AFs in one month. I'm so aggravated. I know that after stopping Depo in September it could take me up to 9 months to regulate again but from what I can tell most women just won't get their periods until their bodies have regulated. I have charted four anovulatory cycles now (ranging from 10 days to 17 days) and I know I was having short cycles before I started charting (probably three periods if I had to guess). I'm not going to borrow trouble but should I be concerned? I'll keep calm if I need to but I'm running low on my CD1 alcohol stash so I need to know what to do: make a beer run or find a competent OB/GYN (Still haven't found one).
P.s. I'll probably post this on tomorrow's WTO thread too since it's so late in the day.
TTGP since September 2013. All cycles were annovulatory due to Depo.

GTKY: Got any good drunk stories? Spill your beans....
I was at a party at my brother's house and I tend to be a lightweight. We were taking shots of 99 bananas (if you like banana laffy taffy, you have to try it) and I swore to everyone I wasn't drunk. No one believed me and I was getting frustrated. I told them I could walk a line and I searched to find a line somewhere in their house that I could walk to prove I wasn't drunk. My inebriated self found scotch tape on their desk and proceeded to make a line with it on their kitchen floor, which of course you couldn't see because scotch tape is clear... its been 6 years since and I still have yet to live it down.
How did everybody's Saturday Go? Great we saw friends in Jersey, which is always a great time, although we all hit a wall way too early and were all asleep early

What you're doing to get KU: temp/chart, sex etc
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc.: we started ttc a bit early just to get started, but now im a little nervous that we will get ku this month only because the due date would suck with my job (i work at a school) which really sounds silly sometimes but i want the opportuinty to be home for a while with this baby like i did with the first one
GTKY: Got any good drunk stories? Spill your beans... tooooo many.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc.: My temp stayed up for the second day in a row, so I'm thinking I O'd on CD11 or 12. I forget, which day is O day? Is it the day before the temp shift or the first day of the temp shift?
GTKY: Got any good drunk stories? Spill your beans.... When I was in college, I went to my DH's (BF at the time) fraternity house one night and decided I was going to try to keep up with some of the guys. I remember playing a game of beer pong (allegedly there were two games), then I was sitting in DH's room begging him to get me a hot dog from the vendor down the street, and then my head was in the toilet. It was hands-down the worst I had felt after drinking, but I did keep up with them throughout the night. I paid for it the next two days, though, since I couldn't stomach anything more than crackers and Sprite. I haven't had that much to drink since.

BFP: 3/14/2014, CP 3/17/2014 6/13/14 - Began O & 7 DPO bloodwork
I think what you are experiencing is normal. A lot of my patients go through bleeding like this when they are on Depo - especially at the beginning of treatment. Some have irregular bleeding the ENTIRE time they are on Depo (I don't know why they stay on it). A lot of them go through it when coming off of it too.
This is my brief, very vague understanding of how our hormones work: Estrogen and progesterone balance each other out. Estrogen paves the way for itself and progesterone but then progesterone is kind of a dick to estrogen (after estrogen helped it out) and starts blocking estrogen from its work (if I remember this correctly). Basically, estrogen prepares the lining of the uterus while progesterone maintains the lining (and also keeps the lining from over-proliferating). So, when your progesterone is doing weird things (going up and/or going down out of sync) then you'll have weird bleeding (including no bleeding) because the balance between the two hormones is now being thrown off.
So anyway , back to my point -- The way Depo works is that it is stored in your fat cells and slowly "leaks out" into your blood.My best guess is that you're probably still releasing a little bit of progesterone from your previous storage of Depo and that's what is throwing things off. But, yes, I do agree with your assessment of finding a competent OB/GYNE is top priority. And I wouldn't take my advice as solid evidence of what is happening with your specific situation. What happens with women I see in clinc could be a completely different situation than what is going on with you - but I will say what you are experiencing isn't uncommon after stopping Depo, and that people eventually go on to regulating after several months - sometimes it even takes up to a year.

What you're doing to get KU: charting (temps, CF, CP), OPKs, supplementing my regular multivitamin, EPO, sex when we feel like it.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: major temp spike today with no warning from any of my tracking methods. very little fertile CF, CP was bouncing around a little like it was kind of thinking about becoming fertile in the next week or so, no +OPK at any point. the lines were so faint still that i was still only dipping them once a day. i can't think of a good reason to discard the temp, either. i was just as sick yesterday and slept about the same and it was .8F lower. i was sicker earlier in the week when i DID discard temps and they were much lower. i'm just doing a WTactualF over here. we'll see what my next few temps do. i'm not convinced that i O'd but i've never had an outlier with my trusty dinosaur analog thermometer.
GTKY: Got any good drunk stories? Spill your beans... not really. i've never been much of a drinker...just a little here and there. there was a time i acidentally had four drinks when i only planned on two (it really was accidental...really, i swear...), but even that only got me a healthy buzz. the walk home was uphill too, so i didn't have to worry about stumbling. lol __________________
@8411mommy - maybe your temp is still up a little? your drunk story sounds like a thoroughly miserable experience.
@miniwheat10 - yay for +OPK! i have yet to get one, ever. lol
@Clagore - my partner and i both have used guaifenesin (evidently it works for dudes too, if their stuff is thick). i didn't use it much before but i actually used a fair amount this cycle because i have a wicked head cold that just won't quit. probably a good thing...i haven't been keeping very well hydrated while i've been sick so it's probably responsible for the only fertile CF i've had this cycle.
@Mrswirt2013 - sounds like a pleasant wakeup. saliva is not sperm-friendly, but i doubt that just once is a BFD, because it's not going to kill them all dead. otherwise there would probably be a lot fewer babies in the world. as for your temp, if it were me, i'd leave it for now and then possibly discard it once i saw what a few more temps were doing.
@Peledreamsofrain - yay for another +OPK! and your drunk story...i think you just won the internet. LMAO
@sugahcookie01 - i didn't post in yesterday's WTO thread because i didn't have a lot of time for bumping, but i did read about your H's troubles and i'm glad to hear it went better last night! my partner has this trouble occasionally...when he's really congested from allergies or a head cold. *FX* for O soon.
@LuckyPenny1231 - can you maybe do a dialed-back HIO session? maybe every 36 hours or EOD?
@DaBearsFansWife - i got nuthin', other than what you said about finding a competent OB. i'm sorry you're having such trouble.

I don’t drink often, but a

but after the alcohol started to flow we ended up singing around my counter for
hours. I even managed to do the souja boy, and the cha cha slide.
Note to self: Stretch first
next time so your legs don’t kill you for days.
@DaBearsFansWife I had a similar issue after my first D&C. It would be like 10 days on, 3 day break, 12 days on, 4 day break and so on. I left it/ignored advice for just over 5 months. And ended up in pretty bad shape. My dr ended up doing BCP for a few months to give my system a chance to rest and reset.
Tl; dr. It may or may not regulate itself. And is rough on your body to bleed so much. I would find a good OB/GYN (and beer).

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc.: I think I got a positive OPK today. I don't even know what to think about that. I didn't temp yesterday or today due to drinking, so I'm flying a bit blind here. My last cycle was 21 days and it looks like I'm gearing up for another short cycle. Even though my LP is 10 days, I'm still starting to get a bit concerned.

What you're doing to get KU: Charting/temping, OPKs, sex, PNVs
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc.: A nice temp spike this morning lines up with OPKs and CM the past couple of days, to make me think I O'd yesterday. I'll probably head over to the 2WW thread if my temp is still up tomorrow. Quick question: if I O'd yesterday, is it worth it to HIO today? Or is it too late for that to make a difference at this point (I assume)? We only hit once in my FW this month, since H has had some issues with finishing the past couple of days. He's on a very mild, low-dose anxiety med, but forgot to take it for almost a week straight (?!) so I'm sure that's affecting things.
GTKY: Got any good drunk stories? Spill your beans.... Not about me, but my very first night at college (coming from a sheltered small town upbringing), I was the ONLY one sober in my dorm. A girl from down the hall woke me up at 2am to come get her friend from the campus jail, and the police officer had told her they would do a sobriety check on whoever came to get her. So I did, and this girl was so hammered. She peed her pants on the walk back, yelling, "I'm peeing! I'm peeing!" That was fun.

My Fever finally went down yesterday. & the Doctor had prescribed me an inhaler so all is good with the world right now except for coughing every now and then. Thank you all who wished me well yesterday!
Month/Cycle:2/2
Not sure If this is a temp that I can finally keep. Last two days I had to discard them. But with today's temp ff is telling me that I probably O'd on cd12. But I'm just going to hang out in this thread till it gives me a solid ch instead of a slashed one if that is okay with everyone.

Nothing crazy. One time when i was still underage I passed out in my moms front yard when she wasn't home, around midnight. My Bf at the time had also gone streaking and the neighbor ratted us out. Oops.
ETA to clarify bf and his friend ran naked down the street. Bf didn't streak by himself. Not that it matters.

What you're doing to get KU: Temping, opk, hio
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc.: Ugh.. opks are still negative DH and I've been really trying..hopefully soon.
GTKY: Got any good drunk stories? Spill your beans.... umm how about that time I drank too much wine and had to puke on the commuter train. I had a plastic bag with me that held my work outfit for the day.. it was my favorite dress... but it had to be sacrificed.
CD: 9
What you're doing to get KU: BBT, Metformin, guaifenesin for now
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc.: has anyone ever used guaifenesin? It was recommended to help with CM issues from the Clomid but I think it's making me nauseous. Is that common?
GTKY: Got any good drunk stories? Spill your beans....
Once, coming home from a business trip, my dad picked DH and I up from the airport. I had a ridiculous hangover from the night before. I hoped he wouldn't notice because I didn't want a lecture (they're not drinking fans). I thought I looked pretty good and would be fine.
Sure enough, first words out of his mouth, "Good God, how much did you drink last night?!" Yeah, he noticed.
Edit: words
CD: 22
What you're doing to get KU: The usual suspects.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc.: I think I am finally ovulating! I got my very first blazingly positive OPK yesterday, and now my tits feel like they're gonna fall off, they are so sore! Yay! (I guess).
GTKY: Got any good drunk stories? Spill your beans...
Ahem, well uh.... I may or may not have had a boyfriend who was pretty terrible in the sack, and couldn't figure out oral to save his soul. He dumped me for the stupidest shit in the universe, and I was a liiiitle bitter.
So I went out, got drunk, and decided that if men were so damned lost down there, I would put an instruction manual on it! The tattoo parlor should have turned my drunk ass away, but instead broke out a chinese dictionary and helped me pick out symbols for 'lick' 'suck' and 'to hold in the mouth'.
Best (only)drunk tattoo I've ever gotten! My doc gets a kick out of it every time.
CD: 11
What you're doing to get KU: The usual. My temp dropped this morning so I'm FXing so hard that I OVULATE!
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc.: Nothing yet
GTKY: Got any good drunk stories? Spill your beans....
I passed out on the sidewalk once and had to be carried home. I also crashed a frat party once (I'm not in a sorority).
I'm all lame now, I don't party anymore.
Month/Cycle: 16/13 (7 cycles AL)
CD: 12
What you're doing to get KU: charting and watching CM. Sometimes opk.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc.: I hate trying to decide when to hio! I usually O around day 14-15. But after 2 losses my O days have been later the past couple cycles (16-22) anyway, I don't want to wear DH out if I'm not going to O soon. And my opk was negative today. But I have an insane amount of ewcm today. That makes me think O may be close? Gah! To hio or not?!
GTKY: Got any good drunk stories? Spill your beans.... One time my DH locked himself outside in the middle of the night butt ass naked. Thankfully for the neighbors there was a privacy fence in the yard.
Month/Cycle: 1/1

What you're doing to get KU: BBT, PNV, OPK, more water/less pop, HIO
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc.: I slept like a log last night and then fumbled around too much looking for my thermometer on the bed. I thought that would make my temp go up but it actually went down, so idk.
GTKY: Got any good drunk stories? Spill your beans.... Last year my SO was deployed to Afghanistan, the weekend before he came home on R&R I went out and got stuuuuuupid drunk. I hadn't eaten and I'm always really bad at knowing my limits, mostly because my limit is somewhere in the middle of a bottle, I go from buzzed to trashed in one drink even my friends are shocked. Anyway, so here I am completely wasted, falling down everywhere. I go outside to puke and as I'm puking I proceed to pee my pants. Yeah, I'm classy as fuck.

What you're doing to get KU: PNV, bbt, opk, preseed, acupuncture
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc.:
Haven't received a positive opk yet, so maybe acupuncture is helping.
GTKY: Got any good drunk stories? Spill your beans....
I got lost in a friends bathroom. I didn't turn the light on and when I was done using the restroom I couldn't find the door. I started clawing at things like a wild animal and ripped their toothbrush holder off the wall. Finally someone heard me and came to my rescue

What you're doing to get KU: nothing yet
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc.: I had cramps for the last 5 days and longest cycle/LP yet....
I'm not going to borrow trouble but should I be concerned? I'll keep calm if I need to but I'm running low on my CD1 alcohol stash so I need to know what to do: make a beer run or find a competent OB/GYN (Still haven't found one).
P.s. I'll probably post this on tomorrow's WTO thread too since it's so late in the day.

@8411mommy Glad to hear you're feeling better today.
Month/Cycle: 6/7
When I was in college, I went to my DH's (BF at the time) fraternity house one night and decided I was going to try to keep up with some of the guys. I remember playing a game of beer pong (allegedly there were two games), then I was sitting in DH's room begging him to get me a hot dog from the vendor down the street, and then my head was in the toilet. It was hands-down the worst I had felt after drinking, but I did keep up with them throughout the night. I paid for it the next two days, though, since I couldn't stomach anything more than crackers and Sprite. I haven't had that much to drink since.

What you're doing to get KU: charting (temps, CF, CP), OPKs, supplementing my regular multivitamin, EPO, sex when we feel like it.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: major temp spike today with no warning from any of my tracking methods. very little fertile CF, CP was bouncing around a little like it was kind of thinking about becoming fertile in the next week or so, no +OPK at any point. the lines were so faint still that i was still only dipping them once a day. i can't think of a good reason to discard the temp, either. i was just as sick yesterday and slept about the same and it was .8F lower. i was sicker earlier in the week when i DID discard temps and they were much lower. i'm just doing a WTactualF over here. we'll see what my next few temps do. i'm not convinced that i O'd but i've never had an outlier with my trusty dinosaur analog thermometer.
GTKY: Got any good drunk stories? Spill your beans... not really. i've never been much of a drinker...just a little here and there. there was a time i acidentally had four drinks when i only planned on two (it really was accidental...really, i swear...), but even that only got me a healthy buzz. the walk home was uphill too, so i didn't have to worry about stumbling. lol

@8411mommy - maybe your temp is still up a little? your drunk story sounds like a thoroughly miserable experience.
@miniwheat10 - yay for +OPK! i have yet to get one, ever. lol
@GrahamSchneider - noooooo! your poor dress! lol
@Clagore - my partner and i both have used guaifenesin (evidently it works for dudes too, if their stuff is thick). i didn't use it much before but i actually used a fair amount this cycle because i have a wicked head cold that just won't quit. probably a good thing...i haven't been keeping very well hydrated while i've been sick so it's probably responsible for the only fertile CF i've had this cycle.
@Mrswirt2013 - sounds like a pleasant wakeup.
@Peledreamsofrain - yay for another +OPK! and your drunk story...i think you just won the internet. LMAO
@sugahcookie01 - i didn't post in yesterday's WTO thread because i didn't have a lot of time for bumping, but i did read about your H's troubles and i'm glad to hear it went better last night! my partner has this trouble occasionally...when he's really congested from allergies or a head cold. *FX* for O soon.
@LuckyPenny1231 - can you maybe do a dialed-back HIO session? maybe every 36 hours or EOD?
@DaBearsFansWife - i got nuthin', other than what you said about finding a competent OB. i'm sorry you're having such trouble.

Looks like I’m back. I shouldn’t have gotten my hopes up.
Month/Cycle: 6/14
CD: 1 – So..much..cramping..
What you're doing to get KU: Nothing until AF is over. I need to order more OPKs.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc.: Not currently.. just hoping this cycle is a little shorter than the last.
GTKY: Got any good drunk stories? Spill your beans....
I don’t drink often, but a couple weekends ago we had some friends over. We started playing video games, but after the alcohol started to flow we ended up singing around my counter for hours. I even managed to do the souja boy, and the cha cha slide.
Note to self: Stretch first next time so your legs don’t kill you for days.
@8411mommy – I’m glad you are feeling better.
@miniwheat10 – Yay for +opks!
@grahamschneider – Your poor dress!
@snickerdoodle24 – FX you get your CH soon
@DaBearsFansWife – FX for ovulation J
@Peledreamsofrain – Ah! I am glad you are finally ovulating!
@oursecretelopement – I hope you ovulate soon L
@melsner – Yay for stable temps!
@jenmcD11 – I know how frustrating long cycles are.. don’t lose hope. Will you be requesting provera soon? I’m so sorry you are dealing with this.
Tl; dr. It may or may not regulate itself. And is rough on your body to bleed so much. I would find a good OB/GYN (and beer).
I have enjoyed all of your insane drunk stories! That was definitely a fun part of today.
