My Ovulation Chart
CD 20
What are you doing to get KU?
BD every other day (at least trying) along with charting
Rants/Raves: hating this dreaded 2ww and seeing so many who are having oops babies.
GTKY: what grown up job dI'd you want as a child.
I wanted to be a nurse. I'm currently a CNA, hoping to go back to school and get my RN.
CD: 16
What are you doing to get KU? OPKs, checking CM, temping/charting, BD AOAP, reading everything in sight which I need to stop as I am spending way too much time staring at my screen reading about fertility issues!
Rants/Raves: Just waiting for the crosshairs; looks like I need just one more day of higher temps for solid ch. Everything lined up nicely in terms of CM, + OPK and temps, and looks like I O'd on CD 14, which would make our timing pretty strong at -4, -2, -1, and 0. Here's my chart if you're interested: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/5d4442
GTKY:What grown-up job did you want to have when you were a child?(Sorry if it has been asked). I wanted to be a journalist.
DS: Born 5-17-16
What am I doing to get KU? Well.... Not much. We had sex on my CD 10 but we decided to start really trying on the 1st of next month. This month I'm just trying to pay attention to when I actually ovulate.
Rants/Raves: I'm allergic to almost everything. Certainly everything that might taste good.... Fml.
Gtky: I wanted to be a gemologist..... I even studied with a well known jeweler for 8 years.
CD: 14
What are you doing to get KU: sex, checking CM and CP, OPKs
Rants/Raves: more EWCM yesterday, which normally would be exciting but this time was frustrating because DH is on call and stressed and keeps turning me down. And he also has had an upset stomach for a few days so great. Last night he turned me down again. No temp spike yet so I'll try again today. If he turns me down again and I get a spike tomorrow our timing will be the worst. This is so frustrating.
GTKY:What grown-up job did you want to have when you were a child? Broadway star! I would have loved to play Maureen in Rent.

What are you doing to get KU? Temping, prenatals, BD
Rants/Raves: first natural AF came today! Now counting to to O and working on my temp skills. Started reading TCOYF and couldn't put it down. Learning so much but also realizing how little I knew about my body, which is a little embarrassing considering it's been mine for 28 years.
GTKY:What grown-up job did you want to have when you were a child? I wanted to be a Rockette. I grew up dancing and always wanted to be on the stage and the Rockettes were just stunning to me. I may not have exactly reached my dream but I did come close. After graduating college the first time I had my degree in sports medicine and for 2 years I worked at the Athletic trainer for the Rockettes in NYC. So incredibly amazing and one of the best times of my life.

GTKY:What grown-up job did you want to have when you were a child? I wanted to be a Meteorologist.

Month/cycle: 2/2
CD: 13
WAYDTGKU: was doing all the things, but see below. ...
Rant/rave/chart stalk: so I got a really great job offer. It would be really good for our family and career, and I have to take it. I'm the bread winner in our family, so my career is essential to our ability to have a happy life. That means we are taking a few months off of TTC. We are bummed. DH was way more bummed than I expected him to be. I mean, he's excited about the opportunity, but disappointed to wait to TTC. We will probably start trying again in February -ish.
****so question before I leave WTO
GTKY: I wanted to be all the things at some point or another.

What are you doing to get KU? Temping, prenatals, using a fertility monitor, sex
Rants/Raves:
I am so tired of seeing pregnancy announcements on Facebook. I'm ready for it to be my turn.
My temp went down this morning. All signs are pointing to O so maybe my temp spike will be tomorrow. I hate waiting! Our timing was OK this month to where I feel that we may at least have a chance this cycle. But I told DH that we really need to get it together if this is not our cycle. Our timing needs to be much better.
GTKY:What grown-up job did you want to have when you were a child?(Sorry if it has been asked)
I had a couple jobs that I thought about. I was either going to be a vet, a doctor, or a teacher. I ended up being a teacher.
CD: 2
What are you doing to get KU? Waiting for AF to leave. Also PNVs, BDing, checking CF, and waiting for my BBT to arrive.
Rants/Raves: I can't believe how horrible AF was on day 1 yesterday. It was like the first AF I got after stopping BCPs. I actually left work early, which I have NEVER done for cramp related reasons before. Anyway.. today is a new day and I am done feeling sorry for myself.

Rants/Raves: You ladies have converted me - I ordered my mabis thermometer this morning.I'm sick of all this wondering bullcrap.
GTKY: What grown-up job did you want to have when you were a child? Honestly, I wanted to be so many different things. For the longest time I wanted to be an astronaut. Then a teacher. Then a marine biologist. And the list goes on.
CD: 12
What are you doing to get KU? PNV, temping, OPK, gonna BD tonight!
Rants/Raves: I gave up pop to drink more water and I'm doing good with that! But I'm so exhausted from the lack of caffeine.
I got my first positive OPK today! I got mirena out earlier this month and since I've had that in for 3 years after having my son I was just realizing after lurking on this board that I had no idea what my actual cycle length or anything was. So I've learned a ton from this board and was way too excited this morning to see that smiley face on the OPK! (Also a big thank you very much to whoever wrote the recent " read this first" newbie post!
GTKY:What grown-up job did you want to have when you were a child? I wanted to be a lawyer or a teacher.

What are you doing to get KU? BBT, CM and CP, OPKs when fertile-ish CM shows up (which might be very soon!), PNV
Rants/Raves: Might have had the start of some EWCM yesterday, which would be really early for me... but last cycle I had EWCM for over a week, so who knows. If I see anymore today I'll start with the cheap OPKs.
GTKY:What grown-up job did you want to have when you were a child?(Sorry if it has been asked) Ballerina+author+vet. I was a weird child.

What are you doing to get KU? All the things
Rants/Raves: The poison ivy that my husband has is slowing healing which is a slight positive and I guess in hindsight at least he was "attacked" by Mother Nature while AF was here. Trying to keep the stress level down with some of the craziness at work so I'm focused on the weekend fast approaching!

What are you doing to get KU? temping, charting CM and CP, BD, PNV and choking down POM juice
Rants/Raves: I think I might have to get a new thermometer. It seems to be favoring 2 different temps. 97.6 & 97.73. If I get that, I will temp again. And holy hell my skin is breaking out. My face isnt the issue; its my neck and my arms. GRRR.
GTKY:What grown-up job did you want to have when you were a child?(Sorry if it has been asked)
For a while, I wanted to be a marine biologist. Until I learned thats not just swimming around with dolphins. Darn it , lol. Im a maternity/ newborn photographer.

What are you doing to get KU? Normal things
Rants/Raves: Still trying to figure out how we are going to BD while we are LARPING this weekend with a cabin we share with other people.... I really do not want to miss a chance, trying for every other day.
GTKY:What grown-up job did you want to have when you were a child?(Sorry if it has been asked)
I wanted to be a teacher for a long time.

Congrats on the job offer! Glad things in your career are doing well.

What are you doing to get KU? The standards
Rants/Raves: my SIL comes to my house and arranges my decor the way she thinks it should be. I'm going to let that happen about zero more times before somebody gets slapped.
GTKY:What grown-up job did you want to have when you were a child? Hahaha I can't even. My little brother convinced me we should grow up and mow lawns together because it would be a good career and we'd get to be outside a lot. So, for about two weeks I was set on becoming a lawn mower. Then I wanted to be a horse vet - no big deal.

Rants/Raves: Well, temp dropped low again today, so so much for thinking that I O'ed and it would stay up. BD again today. DH is going to be excited because I think we'll be continuing the EOD sex through the weekend, etc.

What are you doing to get KU? All the usual stuff
Rants/Raves: yesterday was my darkest OPK so far but still wasn't as dark as the control (does it HAVE to be as dark to be a positive?) Clearblue miss the solid. Temp jumped today quite a bit from yesterday's dip, so I think yesterday or today was the jackpot, so-to-speak. DH and I have been HIO this week since tomorrow I'm going away for a weekend bachelorette so I'm hoping we covered the timing well enough...
GTKY:What grown-up job did you want to have when you were a child?(Sorry if it has been asked) I wanted to be an astronaut, artist, or a doctor. I'm an architect now!
Cycle/Month: 3/3
CD: 19
What are you doing to get KU? The same
Rants/Raves: Another +OPK yesterday (that's 2 days in a row), temp dip then spike (dipped on CD17, spike yesterday and today), but still having EWCM. I am so confused. If I O'd on CD 17, the day of the temp dip, wouldn't the OPK be negative now and the CM beginning to dry up?
GTKY:What grown-up job did you want to have when you were a child? A marine biologist. Turns out you don't just get to,play with dolphins and actually have to study the algae too...no fun! Ended up a psych nurse.
Idk how to share my chart!
CD: 13
What are you doing to get KU? Charting/temping, OPKs, checking CM, the usual
Rants/Raves: I haven't slept well or much for the past two weeks and my chart looks really messy already. OH WELL.
GTKY:What grown-up job did you want to have when you were a child?(Sorry if it has been asked) Really varied over time. Everything from a hairdresser to teacher to lawyer.
For a while, I wanted to be a marine biologist. Until I learned thats not just swimming around with dolphins. Darn it , lol. Im a maternity/ newborn photographer.
Lol you took the words right out of my mouth! I literally posted the same thing right after without knowing it.

What are you doing to get KU? all the things
Rants/Raves: slight temp increase from yesterday, but still not above cover line. I've come to the conclusion that this may be a bust month as far as O goes.
GTKY:What grown-up job did you want to have when you were a child? I wanted to be a music teacher. I even have a degree in music, but it wasn't meant to be. I do teach piano and am a vocal coach for a couple of girls in my spare time.

Cycle/Month: 1/2
CD: 25
What are you doing to get KU? HIO ED/EOD. Learning how to temp, track with FF, CM. Will probably switch over to TWW in a few days. LMP was 40 days, and I'm going to assume a repeat.
Rants/Raves: I was sleeping soundly for the first time in about a week, and DH woke up. He claims DS was crying out, but I don't buy it. Likely affected my temp this morning, so not pleased.
GTKY:What grown-up job did you want to have when you were a child?(Sorry if it has been asked) I actually wanted to be a dietitian. I had high cholesterol as a kid, so was very conscious of food. Sometimes, I think maybe I should have taken that route. Then I remember all the science.
CD: 11
What are you doing to get KU? Charting everything/temping, PNV, Metformin, B6, ovulation study with RE, lots of sex
Rants/Raves: Not excited about turning a year older tomorrow. I really thought I would be pregnant by now. Still very bitter about all of the health issues I have had for the past few years and how much it has set me back in life. If anything it just makes me appreciate my health every single day. It's definitely not something to take for granted. Also having a birthday is better than the alternative. Definitely plan on drinking this weekend so hopefully it won't mess with my chart too much since I am hoping that I will O sometime next week. Rave: cannot wait to eat birthday cheesecake!!!!!
GTKY:What grown-up job did you want to have when you were a child? I really wanted to be a nurse. I still do. But I would be very particular about it and don't know f I could realistically handle the stress that comes with it
They should really have a sarcasm font. I was definitely being tongue in cheek.

What are you doing to get KU? PNV's and just started temping again. I started temping mid way through this cycle to get back in the swing. I've been recording in FF for 12 months but only temping randomly. Also actively working on losing weight/eating better.
Rants/Raves: DH and I have been BD almost every night this week which for us is a big deal as I have a pain condition that makes sex uncomfortable sometimes and usually I'm only up for it once or twice a week. I have been trying steriod shots down there (NOT PLEASANT) as a new treatment option and it seems to be working. I am lucky to have such an amazing DH who understands. It's tough to have a condition that affects your sex life!
GTKY:What grown-up job did you want to have when you were a child? Another marine biologist over here until I realized the same thing as you @pooputtette! Then for a long time I wanted to be an event planner mostly weddings, I kind of still do!
My BBT shipped this morning!
Also, I had a dream about temping last night. I think TB is making me start to obsess.

Rants/Raves: Feeling really irritable today and looking for a fight. Which is bad news when you're in customer service.
