What are you doing to get pregnant?: usual stuff. Just remembered I have some leftover OPKs from a friend, so maybe I will start using those. Never used them before, so I'm sure how they work.
Rants/raves/chartstalks: Had three days of flat temps, so I hope my thermometer isn't going wonky on me.
GTKY: If you could be on a TV show which one would it be? Downton Abbey. I would dress like that every day if it were appropriate.
@mrsberg9282013 please don't feel sad! I didn't mean it dead seriously. I was just feeling annoyed that something this month wasn't working as well as last month. This is my first cycle actively ttc, so I know not to get my hopes up too much. I don't have any reason to worry or to think something is wrong! Was just venting a bit
But thank you for caring, and thank you for taking the effort to respond to every person!
What are you doing to get pregnant?: Same as yesterday. Just waiting for fertile fluid/ mucus so we can start dtd.
Rants/raves/chartstalks: I am just getting really frustrated because due to my PCOS my temp can vary up to a full degree before I ovulate making it very hard to predict so I really need to pay attention to the other signs as well.
Onto other news: I think an alien has replaced my dh, for the past week he has come home and cleaned parts of the house. I asked him what has gotten into him and he just laughed at me and said it needs to be done.
GTKY: If you could be on a TV show which one would it be? The amazing race so I can do things I would never normally do and see lots of interesting places first hand.
what I'm doing: pnv, h20, raspberry leaf tea, opk's, bbt, cm, sex, pre-seed
rants/raves/stalks: Positive OPK today + EWCM...so just on time! Hopefully temps spike to confirm soon.
GTKY: I'm jumping in on the Downton Abbey bandwagon...and just to clarify I would want to depict a part living in the main quarters of the house not down below.
What are you doing to get pregnant?: Sex and stuff
Rants/raves/chartstalks: Close to starting OPKs/EOD, and running out of non-PNVs. Hilarity - DH teased me last night for considering "pre-sexy-time cosplay" (I was looking for something in the closet.) Almost in the same breath, he asked if I'd ever dyed my hair red... like Luke Skywalker's wife Mara Jade.
GTKY: If you could be on a TV show which one would it be? Either Castle (which is about the only currently running show I watch) or... Is there a version of Next Great Baker for chefs? That would be fun.
What are you doing to get pregnant?: Temping, OPK (first month), Just started reading TCOYF
Rants/raves/chartstalks: this is my first full cycle temping and I think my temps are super wonky? I really don't want to do vaginal temping. I'm bummed. In case anyone feels like giving me their opinion: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/510013
GTKY: If you could be on a TV show which one would it be? Big brother. I'm obsessed.
What are you doing to get pregnant? Femara to prep for IUI #2, temping, PNV, CoQ10, acupuncture starting tomorrow
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Feeling very anxious/depressed. Primary care won't get too involved because I'm TTC. She wouldn't even give me a motion sickness patch for my cruise. I'm not pregnant and it's annoying. I called the infertility clinic psychiatrist and I'm waiting to hear back. Also, work is giving me a hard time with FMLA. They have to approve it based on diagnosis but they're making me jump through hoops, adding to my troubles.
@sndravt As long as you see a temp rise after O, your pre-O temps don't really matter, especially during your period. Last cycle my temps were super wacky but I still saw a shift. I started temping vaginally this cycle and they look much better. It's up to you, but you might like your chart better if you temp vaginally.
Yours look about like mine did last cycle. I'm sure you'll be able to see a rise; just keep going!
Thanks so much @3houlagirl. I know I'm over analyzing everything. I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm sure I'll get the hang of it soon. Thanks so much for looking for me.
What are you doing to get pregnant?: temping and sex
Rants/raves/chartstalks: TWW isn't much fun. Not exactly glad to be back here, but it's easier. Glad today is CD1 and hoping I'll O before I go out of town for work.
GTKY: If you could be on a TV show which one would it be? Friends! Or maybe a show like Dawson's Creek.
What are you doing to get pregnant?: temping, green tea, EOD sex
Rants/raves/chartstalks: Had EWCM today, but no +opk yet. Trying to decide whether to switch to an ED schedule - we got fooled by an early EWCM appearance last cycle. Either way, I know how I will get my day started tomorrow - it's our anniversary.
GTKY: Wheel of Fortune. I auditioned once, but I didn't get on. Or The Price is Right. I would do well on either of those shows.

Can I just rant for a second? Today was supposed to be the start of ED sex and I've had an upset stomach/weakness/fatigue since lunch. Body, WTF? I hope it's a 24 hr bug and not anything more. I'm such a big baby with my hypocondria.
What are you doing to get pregnant?: sex, pnv, opk, temping
Rants/raves/chartstalks: I am hoping that I O'd today but obviously wont know until temp rises. Had a + opk yesterday late afternoon and back to negative today. Frustrated because I had to be up earlier then normal temping time today and will have to again tomorrow so its going to screw my chart up. Ugh!

This is what I thought it meant when I first entered the TTC world. I'm pretty sure ED (erectile dysfunction) sex would NOT help you get pregnant...
