For those waiting to ovulate:

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD: 11

What you're doing to get KU: opks, checking cm, temping, sex

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: The past 3 days my temps have been really close. I am wondering if it's because I started temping vaginally this cycle and it's more consistent or if something is wrong with my thermometer? I knew temps would hopefully be more consistent but not this close.

GTKY - If you won the lottery (like let's say over $200 million), how would your life change? What would you do with the money? I would pay off my own and my loved ones debt (homes, cars etc). I would donate some of the money to charities. Then I would buy a home out in the country and live a simple debt free life with grand vacations and a fabulous wardrobe.

Month/Cycle: 7/7
CD: 12
What you're doing to get KU: Hopefully sex EOD now that DH is home - were successful last night! Charting CM, green tea, PNVs, and temping. I kind of gave up on CP because a post yesterday freaked me out that I'm hurting my cervix
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I think I have, for the first time since I started charting, actually saw WATERY CM today! Aaaand to make me even more excited - I got a blinking smiley face on my OPK so I'm all sorts of pumped about that. I have wondfos, so I'll probably pee on one or two of those today as well. Question about the wondfos though - if I don't get a positive (meaning a line as dark as the test line) then it's considered negative and I should mark it as such in my chart right? I've been using the CB advanced digi so I'm used to putting in low, high, or peak for those.
GTKY - If you won the lottery (like let's say over $200 million), how would your life change? What would you do with the money? I don't think my life would change that much. I think the first thing I would do is pay off any debts for my parents and myself. We would probably buy a new house in a better area (not that we live in a terrible area but it's not my first choice). I would probably quit my current job because I hate it and then take my time looking for a new, more rewarding job. Then we'd just save the rest of the money for future children and our retirement fund. Oh, and since I'd be unemployed for a while, there might be an extended trip to tour Europe or something like that.

I guess that is pretty different from my current life lol

navegalejos · May 2015

Whew, almost started one of these at the exact moment that I saw you created the thread! :P

Month/Cycle: 5/4

CD: 14

What you're doing to get KU: Lots of sex, lots of water, temping, started OPKs on Monday -- so far, all negative!

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I've had EWCM on and off for a few days... but all negative OPKs. DH and I are sharing a hotel room with my sister and her roommate this weekend... so we've had sex for three nights in a row (gets kinda tiring, huh?) We will probably try to have sex tonight and tomorrow morning before we leave. No sex Friday night or Saturday night, due to the hotel situation. Sunday when we get home, I hope?!

GTKY - If you won the lottery (like let's say over $200 million), how would your life change? What would you do with the money? I would definitely love to see DH quit his job, since he hates it and has been there forever. I'd definitely buy a small house in the islands... probably on St. John. And a place in Europe, too. Southern France, maybe? And I'd make donations to some of the animal shelters in our area that are really struggling.

missteacherlady16 · May 2015

nicoash8 What kind of thermometer do you have?

nlwz123 · May 2015

Month/Cycle: 7

CD: 16

What you're doing to get KU: OPKs (which haven't been working out for me this cycle...grrr), temping, preseed, sex EOD, fertility massages

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: It looks like one more high temp and I'll get crosshairs for CD 14, but I didn't get any positive OPKs. What? I did FMU and in the afternoon. :-w

GTKY - If you won the lottery (like let's say over $200 million), how would your life change? What would you do with the money? I would give a lot of the money to my family, I'd travel, and buy a nice house (not huge) in northern michigan on Lake Michigan (and probably a few small vacation homes in other places). I would donate a good portion of my money to several places that are near and dear to me. I don't think I'd live a very extravagant life. I prefer experience over material.

I don't remember the brand off the top of my head. Its a generic brand I got from Wal-Mart. This is the first time I've had temps this close. Odd

No Longer ERL · May 2015

For those waiting to ovulate:

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: 26

What you're doing to get KU: sex, charting CM and temps via FF

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: well I think the wise bump girls have stalked and identified O on CD 24! I had another temp rise this am. I'm guessing crosshairs tomorrow.

GTKY - If you won the lottery (like let's say over $200 million), how would your life change? What would you do with the money? I Would focus on eliminating debt...I would buy our dream home. I would take some trips we always dreamed about. I would save for my kids education and future down payment.
I would continue to work but less hours.

Hmm, well I'm inclined to say that your temps will probably be closer because you're temping vaginally. I think I saw theBorg say in a post yesterday or a few days ago that temping vaginally isn't always as necessary but it does make the charts look better/more clear.

@missteacherlady16 Thanks!

(

GTKY - If you won the lottery (like let's say over $200 million), how would your life change? What would you do with the money? Pay off my husbands college loans and pay for his masters upfront. Upgrade our house, put some aside for retirement, some for kids college and weddings, donate the rest.

kbailes12 · May 2015

@missteacherlady16 I have never been able to turn a Wondfo OPK + and that is all I use. I am trying to use them more than once a day to catch the surge, but I would mark it as negative in FF. You have temps, CM and your other OPK to rely on.

missteacherlady16 · May 2015

@nicoash8 - I just realized that you and I are almost completely cycle twins! How did I miss that before?

kbailes12 · May 2015

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD: 9

What you're doing to get KU: Time to use the wondfos twice a day (maybe more?!?) I drink a ton of water and I don't think I can stop drinking just to catch a surge, anyone else have problems with this? We've been so busy there has been no time for BD, we need to start making time but I don't want it to be forced!

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I feel like my temps are all over the place. I wake up religiously at 4:30 everyday, take temp and if I am off, go back to sleep. Its my first full month of temping so I stare at my chart all day and analyze. I am crazy.

GTKY - If you won the lottery (like let's say over $200 million), how would your life change? What would you do with the money?

-I would be so boring: pay off debt, buy a bigger house, invest and take a trip to Bora Bora and stay in one of those over water bungalows. DH told me once that if he won the lottery, he wouldn't tell me so I wouldn't be crazy with the money. Jerk!

Wow, you are right. We are almost exactly the same! Looks like we will be spending our wto and twws together! (FX for bfps this cycle though)

missteacherlady16 · May 2015

@kbailes12 - can you just chug a bunch of water in the morning and taper off around lunch? I know this is easier said than done because I'm still drinking coffee right now (trying so hard to cut back) but maybe if you're able to limit your liquid intake early to late afternoon, you might be able to catch your surge?

nicosh8 · May 2015

@missteacherlady16 - You are correct about the Wondfo. If the line Is not as dark or darker than the control line, mark a - for the day.

I can try that! I also cannot taper my coffee. I've got it down to one cup a day, but I get such a massive headache if I don't drink it! I am going to see if I can go half-caf but I am not hopeful. The caffeine struggle is real!

angc4 · May 2015

Month/cycle: 5/5

CD: 7 - easiest question, thank you oddly regular cycle of mine.

What you are doing to get KU: trying to drink more water, temping, charting visible CM, taking prenatals, sex EOD soon

Rants/raves/chart stalks: I feel like I've been sooooo busy! I didn't even get to check in last night, except for my typo on the Tell Me Something thread ... I am also so sore from upping my workouts, so that is just making walking around terrible. But TGIThursday!

GTKY- ahhhh, why can't this actuallllly happen!!! I would have to pay off my school debt, DHs, and probably my parents random debt. Then we would buy probably a house on the beach in San Diego, probably buy this house we are in from DHs grandma and fix it up (it was built in the 1920s-30s and is where my FIL lived when he was young and where DH also lived for part of his life annnnd the only place him and I have lived together, we have been here 7 years)
We would buy 2 cars because we neeeed them. And we would definitely go see Europe
But after all that, probably nothing changes lol

Everycol0r · May 2015

Month/Cycle: 8/8

CD: 11

What you're doing to get KU: Starting sex EOD tonight, DH was not feeling super good last night. More fluids, vitamins, OPK, temping

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Not a lot, I think I'm having trouble sleeping until my regular wake up time because I'm 1. Excited to be temping and 2. Worried I'll over sleep. Hoping this wears off soon so I can actually get some shut eye.

GTKY - If you won the lottery (like let's say over $200 million), how would your life change? What would you do with the money?
I would definitely pay off all the debt of myself, and parents on both sides. I'd also set up a trust fund for each of our nieces & nephews, plus our own kids. Travel, upgrade our home, and try to enjoy it. There are a few charities I'd also love to donate to as well. DH & I love talking about the things we would do.

JustLivinLife · May 2015

Month/cycle: 1/1

CD: 15

What you are doing to get KU: OPKs, temping, CM, prenatals, and sex EoD (well...almost EoD)

Rants/raves/chart stalks: DH went to the Cavs basketball game last night and took my keys with him so I was locked out of work and home. I couldn't go to work to use my work computer to study or go home and finish studying or work out...so I am not a day behind in my 30 fitness challenge

Damn DH and his boys nights...

GTKY: Definitely pay off all my student loans and other debt, buy a second car (we only have one right now) and put a down payment on a house that would give us a crazy cheap mortgage. Then I would pay off my parents and siblings debt/help them purchase homes. The rest would go in a savings account, a retirement fund and a babymoon fund!!

Edit: spelling is hard...

For those waiting to ovulate:

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: 16

What you're doing to get KU: Sex, Temping, OPKs, PNV, FF, Checking CM, H2O

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Ok, so now I'm beginning to think that my OPKs are whack. I have been using the advanced OPKs every month for the past 6 months & never once had this problem of the flashing happy face. I'm on day 8 of the flashing happy face!!?? The OPK results no longer match what my temps are saying so I'm wondering if I should stop inputting the OPK results into FF? Do you know if FF bases O date on OPK input or does it care mainly about your thermal shift? My temp yesterday was 97.45 {the lowest it has been all cycle} & this morning it jumped up to 97.75. Again, my temp patterns are in line with what I have been seeing each month. Anyway, we had sex last night in case the 97.45 was an O dip and the night before that. Taking a break tonight & if my temp doesn't rise again tomorrow then will continue to hump it out.

GTKY - If you won the lottery (like let's say over $200 million), how would your life change? What would you do with the money? I'd worry less!

FF uses some kind of algorithm. Since this is your first month temping, it's going to be A LOT of guess work. Just keep charting your results as you get them and keep having sex - just continue to consider yourself fertile at this time.

The flashing smiley means increased estrogen which usually occurs just before your LH surge (solid smiley face). I've had longer surges of 4-5 days for estrogen, so I don't think it's abnormal. Did you get a solid smiley face at all yet?

eta: can you share your chart?

jennymack79 · May 2015

Month/Cycle:

CD: 11

What you're doing to get KU: still nothing. I guess, temping to avoid this cycle, but even if we were TTC, still would likely miss my window because of this damn broken foot.

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I really, really need a shower. But, it's not really safe for me to take one alone because I have to crutch my way into the bathroom, maneuver into this new shower seat, then crutch my way out, dripping wet and on a wet floor. So, DH has to help me. He went to the Cards game last night (with my tickets!) and that meant me, alone, sans shower. Now I have to wait for him to get home from work tonight. I feel disgusting.

GTKY - If you won the lottery (like let's say over $200 million), how would your life change? What would you do with the money? This would be AMAZING. I'd pay off our cars and our house, then sell it and move to a beachfront or lakefront property somewhere. Would pay off my parent's lake house, plus my sister's house. Would probably do the same for DH's brother. Would buy the inlaws something (they don't have any debt). We'd both quit our jobs and live off a yearly allowance with the rest of the $$ invested. I'd write all the time and we'd take luxurious trips around the world. *sigh*

puppylove8910 · May 2015

@missteacherlady16 I've actually been temping & charting since December. Only actively TTC since this month. No solid face yet... How can I link my chart from my phone? Thanks!

Ooh in that case FF is probably making predictions based off of previous charts - but it's still some weird algorithm. I honestly don't know how to link your chart if you're mobile, but you could take a screen shot of this months chart and I'll take a look (no promises though since I'm still a novice).

Anyone else know how to link from mobile?

tiffk10 · May 2015

Month/Cycle: 18

CD: 10

What you're doing to get KU:
Hopefully the sex will start tonight... We've been packing and too tired/stressed the last few nights. Temping, OPKs, and monitoring appointment Saturday.

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: meh. Packing has me all stressed out. I'm upset we thought it was a good idea to start treatment this month when we were moving the same week :-S

GTKY - If you won the lottery (like let's say over $200 million), how would your life change? What would you do with the money?

I'd pay off debt for myself and family, buy myself, SO and my mom new cars, invest money, and do a lot of traveling.

puppylove8910 · May 2015

@missteacherlady16 it's attached

thanks for taking a look!

your higher temp today may be just a fluke - remember you need 3 days of sustained temps to show a thermal shift. You can also produce fertile CM throughout your cycle which could be throwing things off. I'd keep having sex and testing until you see solid CHs (and if possible, I'd have sex the day or two after your CHs too). Good luck!

puppylove8910 · May 2015

@missteacherlady16 ok, thanks! Will continue to hump it out!

LoveLucy0413 · May 2015

@puppylove8910 Last cycle I had 10 days of flashing smiley before my solid smily "peak" Hang in there sister!

angc4 · May 2015

@puppylove8910 your chart looks great! And if it's a pattern you have seen before, I wouldn't worry... It really does look like it could be an O dip, FX for a rise for you!
I don't use OPKs so I can't really help on that

LoveLucy0413 · May 2015

Month/Cycle: 4/4

What are you doing to get KU: Sex every day, prenantals, clomid, charting BBT, CP, and CM in FF.

Rants/raves/chart stalk: My neck and left shoulder hurt so bad when I woke up this morning...like I had been sleeping on a rock or DH beat me up in his sleep :P

Just watched a news clip about women giving birth and being told their babies died...in reality the hospital staff were stealing them and selling them. A girl was just reunited with her mother 40 years later. I nearly cried it was such a beautiful reunion. Sick people in the world

GTKU: I would buy my in-laws the boat they always wanted. I would buy us a beautiful home on a beach somewhere (probably in So Cal), me a Mercedes G Class and DH a Ducati 1199 Superleggera. We woul quit our jobs and spend our free time scuba diving, rock climbing, and traveling

concreteayngel · May 2015

What we're doing to get KU:

Temping, charting, OPKS, Sex every other day, preseed, and trying to eat more pineapple.

Rants/Raves/chart stalks: Excited to start this new cycle, and was much less emotional about AF coming last time around, which is progress!! Settling into the process.

GTKY: if we won the lottery, we'd buy a ridiculous house and travel a lot more, but neither of us would quit our jobs, because we love our careers too much.

@concreteayngel If you don't mind me asking, how is pineapple beneficial?

That's the first I've heard of it. Im curious so I googled it. You are correct! If you eat pineapple a week after O, it can help thicken the uterine lining which helps implantation. Hmmm... Interesting.

Lurking from TWW, you guys are all so conservative with your 200 million! I'm impressed.

As much as I know these things are all anecdotal, I'm so tempted to try them all. I think that makes me crazy.

I did POM juice last cycle. Honestly, just noticed that my period was heavier and longer though I have no way of knowing if that was the reason. Probably just a coincidence.

What you're doing to get KU: Prenatals in the am, Sex EOD, Temping, OPK, Green Tea at night, and maybe some pineapple after FF confirms an O?
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: This is my first full month charting my temps....I'm taking these first few days with a grain of salt.
GTKY - If you won the lottery (like let's say over $200 million), how would your life change? What would you do with the money? Like most everyone here, I would pay off debt and my family's debt, purchase a home and a vacation home, save, invest, and donate to an organization anonymously that I really love. Probably something surround marines or mental health!
