What are you doing to get KTFU? charting, temping, OPKs, PNVs, EOD sex

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I would really appreciate if someone could chart stalk for me! (Link) I have only been temping for 3 months - last month I saw a clear shift, but this month my chart seems really wacky. (Open circles are because I had to temp a bit earlier than usual, but never more than an hour earlier.) I never got a +OPK (would get 2 lines, but test line never as dark or darker than the control) and never saw a sustained temp shift/no CHs. Should I be concerned that although I'm getting my period regularly I could potentially not be ovulating? (I've looked through the forum archives and the consensus seems to be that if you have regular periods you're likely ovulating & temping would reflect that.) Unfortunately because I didn't have a sustained shift I'm wondering if I'm some kind of anomaly!? Sorry for being long-winded, but thanks in advance!!

GTKY: What is your favorite stress reliever? And why? Cleaning! It keeps me moving and my mind on the task at hand instead of whatever is stressing me.

I'm still trying to get my computer to open your chart but I wanted to tell you...if I temp within a reasonable time of my "default" time I do not change it on FF so I do not get an open circle.

I still can't get your chart open...I guess we'll see if anyone else can or if it's just me. We may need you to link it again.

I can't get it to open either.

@Rooskie87‌ I just started teaching myself to crochet. Add that to my list of new favorite and relaxing hobbies. DH says I'm a grandma but he will appreciate our new blanket when it's done lol.

@mustloveerica - you will have to AW some pics when you are done!

My mom is a bad ass crocheter and is supposed to be teaching me, but my hands dont work right. I don't think it is a grandma hobby at all! But i also cross stitch and my H says thats a grandma hobby.

@londonlea04 - you should give it another try! Youtube videos help a lot of people. Luckily my mom taught me when I was like 8 years old. I got laughed at a lot in college because I would bring projects with me if we were just watching tv. Now I keep getting suckered into making things for other people!

We are supposed to be trying again this weekend. I wanna be able to do it so bad. She just started a new project and it is gorgeous. Of course I am super jealous! I like to work on projects and watch tv too!

@southernredandwhite85 - I'm no expert, but I don't see ovulation in your last chart. Did you ovulate during previous cycles? Are you just off hormonal birth control? - It can take your body some time to regulate. I am on my 5th cycle of charting - 2 out of my 4 previous cycles were anovulatory. I also have short (9 days) LPs. The consensus from the ladies here was to consider calling my OB to ask for feedback. I am planning to wait and see how this cycle goes, if I get another anovulatory cycle, I think I will call just to see if it's anything to be concerned about. Even when I don't ovulate, I still get a period every 28-32 days.

ETA: I think an anovulatory cycle here or there isn't anything to be too worried about. Although if you're consistently not ovulating, then I think it may be a good idea to seek medical advice.

southernredandwhite85 · January 2015

Thanks for your feedback @estakis! According to FF I did ovulate last month (and the chart was pretty clear unlike this one). The month before I was just learning about temping, inconsistent, and not surprised that it was a mess although I didn't see a temp shift then either. I have not taken hormonal birth control in almost 5 years.

FX for all the ladies who are experiencing long cycles. I imagine that must be incredibly irritating. I hope you all get your CHs and are able to move over to TWW soon.

What are you doing to get KTFU? Focusing on staying hydrated this month. I was really bad about that last month, and my EWCM was pretty scant. Also BBT, OPK, and EOD/ED in FW.

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I decided to temp vaginally this month to see if it stabilized my rocky temps from last month. I've yet to see if it actually makes a significant difference, but I don't think I'll be continuing with this temping method, either way. It's uncomfortable and disrupts my sleep more than orally temping.

GTKY: What is your favorite stress reliever? And why? Baths. Bubble baths. Long, hot baths. Preferably with a cuppa and a good book. So, so good.

What are you doing to get KTFU? Waiting out the red tide

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Just cramps...

GTKY: What is your favorite stress reliever? And why?
Eating, why... probably the dopamine release. I wish I could say it was something healthy like working out or painting, but nope, just give me all the food.

AMMR84 · January 2015

@Fallbaby11 I'm sorry about AF. Wine O'clock!

@Mill23 Yay! Data!

@hydrengea1019 Wait, wait, you're telling me Mucinex is good for CM?

@turtleteam I am the same way! I have to sit down and work out my problem (usually with a spreadsheet) in order to get over it.

@londonlea04 Boo, H!

@mamasarge You just reminded me that I need a massage!

I hope it's ok to just jump in here.

What are you doing to get KTFU? Right now? Waiting for AF to go away. Otherwise, temping, OPKs, and sex (trying EOD this month because ED didn't work out last month)

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: AF came yesterday and I was much more upset over it since it was only our first month trying. DH gave me the "you need to learn to be content" speech and that made me more upset. I feel like being a little upset is ok (hello, AF showed up!).

GTKY: What is your favorite stress reliever and why? Exercise, even though that's usually not my first go-to. I like it because I always feel much better afterwards.

I'm late to the party today!

What are you doing to get KTFU? PNV, temping, OPK, ED sex

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Tomorrow (Wednesday) is CD9 for me - should I start OPK or wait for CD10? I've never OPK'd and this is my first cycle temping/charting so I don't know around when O will come. Any suggestions?

GTKY: What is your favorite stress reliever? And why? I love listening to music I know the lyrics to and sing my little heart out (in my own company because my voice is awful!). Especially after a horrid shift I sing the whole 30 minute commute home!

What are you doing to get KTFU? Temping, prenatals, sex

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Waiting. Just waiting.

GTKY: What is your favorite stress reliever? And why? Planning things. When we were engaged it was the wedding, now it's each month's groceries. We live in nowhere land, so when we go to town for groceries (Tomorrow!!) I like to have a game plan.

Also, I angry clean.
