    What you're doing to get KU: temping, checking cm, charting, drinking more water, sex every other day, cutting back on caffeine.

    Rants/raves/chart stalks:  Tried the chart overlay on FF, and it is really cool!  I just stared at it for a few minutes.  My temps are following the same general pattern as last month, so that is neat to see.

    GTKY- First car:  sky blue '95 Taurus.  I was so proud of that car!

    CD: CD 2

    What you're doing to get KU: Honestly, just hoping to have sex more than once during my fertile window. I'm going to try drinking green tea during this cycle in the hopes of producing more CM as well as staying super hydrated. I also just bought wondfos and a new BBT (the mabis) - so nothing I haven't been trying already, just tweaking a few things

    Rants/raves/chart stalks: I'm just still really bummed about last cycle. And while I know I'm still well within our year of TTC, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit frustrated. I'm just also going to blame AF for how I feel right now since literally everything makes me want to cry right now. 

    GTKY- First car: 2000 Plymouth Neon - man I loved that car. I actually had him through the end of 2010 and just yesterday I was wondering if he's still running and who's driving him now. I'm not a car person but I did drive that sucker for 7 years so a lot of stuff happened during that time. Just makes me nostalgic thinking about it. (and yes, my car was a boy and his name was Beans).

    What you're doing to get KU:  Finally being good about trying to temp at the same time every day -- only 1 open circle so far!  I had a shitty BBT last cycle, so I'm anxious to see how my chart looks with the Mabis one from Amazon.  Hopefully it will be easier to interpret this time around!

    Rants/raves/chart stalks:  Kinda hoping that I ovulate earlier or later than FF anticipates... we are going to be out of town that weekend and.. sharing a hotel room with my sister and her friend.  Not conducive to gettin' it onnnnnn.  I'll be using my OPKs and watching my temps closely that week before we leave.  
    :-w

    GTKY- First car:  Ahhh, I miss my first car.  It was a sexy little 1996 BMW 328i, black with tan leather interior.  Sunroof, 18-inch racing wheels, chrome exhaust, white "Euro" turn signals, awesome sound system.  I thought I was the SHIT.

    GTKY- First car: 1999 Honda Accord, 2D coupe. Best car I ever had!

    Rants/raves/chart stalks: got my first flashing smiley! (Showed DH and he said: "what does that mean? Are you pregnant?" He's been gone for 2 weeks and knows I had af and that this week in fertile. But I really should have thought about showing him a happy faced pee stick. Sorry hubby.)

    GTKY- First car: 1982 vw rabbit. She was a mess but she was my mess. My parents sold her without telling me when I left for college. I bawled when I found out.

    What you're doing to get KU: This is my first attempt at temping and checking CM. Sex every other day.

    Rants/raves/chart stalks: As soon as I decided to start temping last week I got sick. Now my chart is pretty confusing because my cold is still lingering around. According to FF I may ovulate in the coming days, but who knows.

    GTKY- First car: 1996 Saturn, 2D. It was dark purple and the most fun to drive car I've ever owned. Over 200k miles when we sold it.

    This is my first post since joining a few weeks ago. I can't believe how much I've learned already! You ladies are great :)

    Rants/raves/chart stalks:  Still bummed I'll be away from my hubby all next week but determined to stay in a positive space this cycle

    GTKY- First car:  1996 maroon chevy cavalier.  It had been a rental car in Hawaii in its previous life.  Horn didn't work, power windows didn't work (picture opening the door at every drive though and atm...).  Didn't help that I also scraped the whole left side against concrete and parked it into a small tree once.  Ooops!

    Rants/raves/chart stalks: FF is now saying I'm 3DPO but that can't possibly be right because my temps haven't changed at all! Just waiting for her to get less confused. I think we both hate my PCOS together.

    GTKY- First car: I didn't get my license until I was in my 20s due to living in NyC and not really needing to drive anywhere. So my first card was a BMW 335i. LOVED it!

    Rants/raves/chart stalks: I realized last week that I'm genuinely excited about being pregnant again. I was sort of wavering between nervousness and excitement until then. Whenever I do get pregnant, I'm sure there will be some anxiety until I hear a heartbeat (we never heard a heartbeat with our miscarriage) but I know I'm ready to take on that fear. I have to say I think joining this board, hearing your stories, reading all the advice and interacting with others who are TTC has really helped me get to this point so thank you all! :)

    GTKY- First car: 1987 Pontiac 6000! It was definitely NOT cool and was the same car (even color) as the drivers ed car but I loved it anyway because it was mine!

    I heard that some people have wonky temps during AF because of lingering progesterone. So far I haven't had that issue so I'll keep using those temps until something changes. I think it varies by person.

    What you're doing to get KU: I've been taking my PN, temping, using OPK's, and checking CM. 

    Rant: We weren't sure if we were going to skip TTC this month. According to a birthday predictor (yes we look at this for fun) our potential baby would just about have the same birthday as my 2 y/o Niece/God Daughter. It's not that my sister would have a problem with it (she's laid back). It is more that I didn't want my family to have to do back to back birthdays. Anyway, we decided to still try. WHO KNOWS what will happen and I didn't want to waste a month over something so petty. According to FF calendar and other signs I should be O tomorrow or Wednesday. 

    GTKY- First car: I had a dodge neon as well but I don't remember the year. The air conditioner was broke but I had a loud stereo system that made up for that (LOL).

    What are you doing: Charting, checking CM, and at least every other day if not everyday( we are trying to keep it fun)

    GTKY: First car a 1986 Buick Century. My friends and I called her Gertrude. I got her from my Godmother's mom it was her middle name. The car was a weird rose blush color. I Loved it until someone stole it.

  • @ob+bb are you temping to confirm ovulation?  CM is a secondary sign, and OPKs only detect surges in LH (some also detect estrogen surges).  It's possible to ovulate without having a positive OPK or EWCM.

    "Quote" rel="nlwz123">Just out of curiosity, but who on here temps while they are on their period?  I haven't been since I've started temping because I assumed my temp would be all over the place, and now I feel like maybe I should have been?

    I'm not temping... I started to this go around but I have insomnia and have been sick nearly all of this winter so my temps were so all over the place that I stopped bothering to find a pattern. Maybe I'll give it another go. I know it'd be helpful to have more info and it'd certainly be comforting to know whether I'm ovulating or not.

    I would definitely try again.  You only need 3 hours of solid sleep to get an accurate temp.  Testing is expensive even with good insurance, so to me it makes sense to try a free method of confirming ovulation.  Also curious as to why are you going to the doctor after only 6 cycles?  Are you over 35 or do you have known health issues?

    I'm generally awake for 1-3 hours in the middle of the night so it's rare that I've been asleep for a solid 3 hours come temping time. 

    Yep, I'm over 35 so I am on the 6 month trying plan vs. 1 year. If I can confirm ovulation myself I'll probably just keep trying past the 6 month mark. If I can't, I'll see the dr. to see what my next steps are.
  • I don't temp during AF. Start usually once I am just spotting around day 7
