What are you doing to get KU? Temping, checking CM and CP, OPKs, sex

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk - waiting for temp rise. All signs point to O today or tomorrow. And I upgraded to VIP FF yesterday when someone posted about the promotion (thank you!!) so now I've been playing with the new features. Can't wait until I have more data to really enjoy the statistics! If I get a BFN this month, the silver lining would be more time for my data to accumulate in FF for analysis #datageek

Apparently I can't pick just one.

Change can be so constant you don't even feel a difference until there is one. It can be so slow that you don't even know that your life is better or worse until it is. - Life as a House

Song Lyric (so many favs but here is one):
This is no declaration, I just thought I'd let you know goodbye - Belle and Sebastian "Get me away from here I'm dying"

What are you doing to get KU? Temping, checking cm, prenatals, sex EOD-ish, observing CP, OPKs

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk - My cervix is moving higher, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up. Also, I no longer have crosshairs on FF, which I'm actually okay with.
At this point, I'm pretty just waiting for Tuesday's appointment

It's hard to pick just one...

What are you doing to get KU? AF just arrived today. Once we're good to go I'll go back to temping, checking cm, and am thinking about getting some OPK's this cycle.

I got my crosshairs today so I'm heading over to the TWW board. I just wanted to say that i hope to see all of you over there soon! And I also wanted to answer the GTKY question...

@AL_TwinCities already "stole" the movie that this quote is from though...

"I always thought of myself as a house. I was always what I lived in. It didn't need to be big. It didn't even need to be beautiful. It just needed to be mine. I became what I was meant to be. I built myself a life. I built myself a house." - Life As a House

AL_TwinCities · July 2015

Good one @caseyw8784

caseyw8784 · July 2015

@AL_TwinCities I absolutely love that movie! I first saw it when I was in (or just entering...can't remember) architecture school so I thought the whole metaphor thing was pretty cool.

I haven't watched it in years and now I am currently digging through my old box of DVDs looking for it. I blame you.

AL_TwinCities · July 2015

@caseyw8784 agreed, as an interior designer I also loved the metaphor. Now I watch it whenever I want a good cry!

What are you doing to get KU? Waitin for AF to do her thing

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk - As if it's not bad enough that AF comes and tells you "no dice this time, try again next month", she also decided to bring the worst cramps I've had to date. She also decided to show up 4 days late, for the first time ever, which should push my fertile window for this month into the week DH will be gone. Cool!

If AF was "late" wouldn't that mean you just Oed later? Did you have a longer Luteal Phase? Are you charting?

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I did not anticipate how much waiting would be involved with TTC... Waiting to ovulate, two week wait, waiting to POAS, waiting for AF to show up... Yes it is dumb that I thought it would just magically happen.

GTKY: What is your favorite book or movie quote or song lyric? There really isn't one but I quote Friends all the time and easily relate most situations back to it (for instance it is hotter than heck here in Kansas and last night at DH softball game, we were talking about how hot we were and there was someone wearing jeans while playing softball (!?!?) and we started talking about the episode where Ross wears leather pants on a date...

What are you doing to get KU? My period is pretty well over and I've been away from my DH for over a week, so we will be HIO a lot! I temp regularly and I'll start checking my CM and CP, and tomorrow I will start using OPK's. I have a shorter cycle and last month I O'd around CD 10 so the pressure is on!!

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk - my breast tenderness finally going away, yay! I hate that my PMS symptoms are longer and harsher than my actual flow.

WAYDTGKU?
Shooting for EOD/ED BD this week.
Other than that, I'm obsessively checking FF, temping with Mabis BBT, using Pre seed for lube, Wondfo OPKs, tracking CM, No alcohol & a chewy multi vitamin.

Also, I'm intending on drinking more water and keeping stress and anxiety under control. Still working on these.

R/R/CS:
The previous few nights my puppy woke me up throughout the night which screwed up temping and made me exhausted. Today it was glorious to temp at 4:30 and then sleep in till 9:30!!!

I wish I would have ordered Clear Blue digital OPKs at the same time or instead of the Wondfo OPKs. The faint line thing is a bit much for me and I feel like I want to see that smiley to have a clearer picture....

GTKY: What is your favorite book or movie quote or song lyric?

Movie quote from Amelie:
Nino is late. Amelie can only see two explanations. 1 - he didn't get the photo. 2 - before he could assemble it, a gang of bank robbers took him hostage. The cops gave chase. They got away... but he caused a crash. When he came to, he'd lost his memory. An ex-con picked him up, mistook him for a fugitive, and shipped him to Istanbul. There he met some Afghan raiders who took him to steal some Russian warheads. But their truck hit a mine in Tajikistan. He survived, took to the hills, and became a Mujaheddin. [Increasingly angry] Amelie refuses to get upset for a guy who'll eat borscht all his life in a hat like a tea cozy.

Book quote from The Night Circus:
I am tired of trying to hold things together that cannot be held. Trying to control what cannot be controlled. I am tired of denying myself what I want for fear of breaking things I cannot fix. They will break no matter what we do.

Song lyrics from Make You Feel my Love:
I'd go hungry; I'd go black and blue,
And I'd go crawling down the avenue.
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love.

Yup, I've been charting for 6 months now and have always had a 10-12 day LP. This month it was 15 days. I guess I could have O'd later than I thought, but the date FF put my crosshairs at matches up with my temp spike, CM and positive OPK. It really doesn't look like it could have been any later! Just an odd month, I guess...

That is odd since I was under the impression that most women generally have the same LP length. Your chart looks pretty solid to me, although I guess it's possible it was a few days off. I imagine it was pretty frustrating having all the BFNs when you KNEW you were late. What a bummer.

Everything you can think of!

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk -
Temp spike this morning so I likely ovulated late last night or early this morning...tried to get hubby to join me for one last effort but his body was not having it. Woulda been nice to have the 0/+1 try but we'll see. I always feel so warm after I ovulate. I work in an operating room environment where it can get really chilly but after ovulation I'm just hanging out like "Nope...I feel fine!"

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk - I had another high temp today but drank last night so I'm not sure if I actually Od or not. Fingers crossed that I did because if so our timing was really good! I never got ewcm or a positive opk though and wonder if that's something to be concerned about.

mrstmoose · July 2015

@Carazona5 - since this is my first month actually temping (a whole 2 days in) and I only used OPK's last month, I start mine as soon as AF is finished just because I'm still figuring it out. Some of the other women may have better ideas about this.

Ok thanks!

I've given it 6 days since AF ended so I'll probably start tomorrow.

hboaz · July 2015

@Carazona5 I've only used OPKs for one cycle, but I started at CD9 since I have always O'd around CD13-15. I know a lot of the ladies here start as soon as AF is over since many O on different days every cycle, or just to be sure not to miss it since you're "normal until you aren't". I think I've seen others say that they start using them as soon as they have fertile CM. So whatever works best for you!
